The transparent container was filled with blue liquid, wrapping around the human body inside. Occasionally, there would be sounds similar to data reading.
"Number 107, codenamed Silent Angel, synchronization rate 86%, test result... failure!"
The harsh mechanical voice repeated the same tone continuously.
Each sound felt like a judgment, with a vibrant life disappearing in the failure of the experiment.
The same tragedy happened here every day, hidden several kilometers below the Imperial City.
"Another failure. Can't we do anything without absolute probability...? Let me try again. Experiment subject 108, codenamed Silent King, begin testing!"
Another dilapidated body was thrown into the scorching magma, but the man watching the entire process through the glass showed no sadness. Instead, he clapped excitedly.
"Not bad. Adjust the synchronization frame rate to 95% this time!"
"Huh? But, Ancestor, if we increase the rate to such a dangerous level, the angel inside the subject's body might... pre...”
"Tsk, didn't I teach you just to follow my orders? Minister of Military Affairs! Also, my future king..."
Ancestor's eyes emitted a trace of blood, causing Rutherford, who was already trembling with age, to tremble even more!
Especially the last sentence, it had a profound meaning.
"Are you okay, sir?"
Rutherford's guard immediately stepped forward to support him, preventing him from falling and embarrassing himself in public.
"Hey, if you really want to be emperor, I can guarantee it for you!"
Ancestor's previous display really scared him.
In terms of strength, Ancestor could kill him with a single thought. The reason he didn't was because they both had mutually beneficial value.
"As long as this experiment is completed, the Imperial City will definitely be handed over to you."
Ancestor has always been jovial, leaving everyone present puzzled about his intentions.
But beneath this smiling and kind face, there was a hidden knife, ready to plunge into the heart of the Imperial City at any time!
"Did you go against the will of gods and become Shura...? Hehe, just wait and see. The ultimate winner of this battle has just arrived!"
Meanwhile, the night in the Imperial City was becoming restless...
The expeditionary force had been away for over a month. During these thirty-plus days, they had fought over twenty large and small battles.
From beginning to end, the Imperial City had bet its last remaining strength on the expeditionary force.
The reinforcement request made by Commander-in-Chief Juxi had yielded no results.
After all, the Imperial City had no idea who to send to reinforce this unit!
"Well, as expected by the clan leader, the Crystal Energy Experiment Zone is currently defended by various levels of grade A and below spellcasters. Danger level: Level 6!"
The person in black walked slowly to a black building and was intercepted by two knights in silver armor!
The person in black was immediately stopped outside the fence surrounding the dungeon.
"Please step aside. This area is not accessible to unrelated personnel!"
"Blood poison!"
There was no sound, and everything fell silent. Only two bodies of guards were left on the floor.
There was a large puddle of green unknown liquid flowing in the gaps of the floor tiles!
Under the cloak of the intruder in black, a green snake head emerged.
It turned into a slender, green python as thick as a wrist, and crawled through the cracks in the dungeon fence.
The Imperial City of the night began to be gradually swallowed by darkness, and the tranquility would no longer exist.
The Beast faction was lurking with many dangers, and the Human faction was also unpredictable, all showing signs of restlessness. In this situation, starting a war would be a foolish act!
After that day, some time passed and the situation in the New Continent underwent earth-shattering changes!
Although the battle in the Northern Territory was initially successful, it was like fireworks that faded quickly. The defense lines of Shalt were soon abandoned under the joint attack of the two clan leaders of the Beast faction.
But Juxi did not believe that it was over, because he still knew!
"Hehe, I have a capable team that has infiltrated the heart of the Beast faction. Maybe..."
With the remnants of his soldiers, Juxi sat alone on the bank of the stream, muttering with a smile on his face.
"They are the key to victory!"
"Is that so?"
Yuanhui shook her head with concern and handed him a can of coffee, then continued.
"Here, stay alert. Let's first talk about that kid Paroni... Do you think he's reliable?"
"...Well, he's the key to breaking fate. If it were just you and me trying to change, we can only alter the process but not the outcome."
It took him a while to answer Yuanhui's question, it seemed that he was also worried.
"You really care about her..."
"Isn't it obvious? She replaced my sister for so many years, how could I not be worried!"
Juxi's eyes softened when he mentioned his sister, Yukari.
From time to time, he would think back to the day he first met Yukari...
"When I first saw her, I should have noticed."
"Noticed what?"
Yuanhui had a curious attitude towards Juxi's words, she couldn't let it go.
"Well, at that time, her extremely wild attitude made a deep impression on me, but she was different. Her pure longing for me was not the same as the feeling Yukari sister gave me."
After saying so much, Juxi realized it was time to set off.
They have rested for so long, and everyone should catch their breath from the exhaustion of battle!
So he gave a new order, which was somewhat incomprehensible, as Juxi shouted.
"Pack up and evacuate to Imperial City!"
Everything was done to avoid connecting with that future, whatever it was...
After fighting alone for over a month in the Northern Territory, the expeditionary force of over thirty squads had suffered heavy casualties and no longer had the strength to continue the battle.
But for Juxi, he had already achieved his original goal.
And now, it's all up to you—Paroni!
(Original Continent)
The color of death remained the same, white!
Although everything in the world seemed to have been wiped out, there still seemed to be an extraordinary presence lingering in this world...
"Big brother, the voices here make me very uncomfortable, as if something is calling me!"
My little sister began to worry, she seemed to have also sensed a power that had never existed before in the air here, constantly exerting pressure on this world!
Since we escaped from that life and death separation a month ago, we have once again met at the crossroads of fate.
But after that, Lanjie's attitude towards me became strange, often unable to look me in the eye.
"Ah, what's going on?"
My little sister also became even stranger than before, occasionally acting coquettish towards me, her attitude... it's as if my sister's consciousness has taken over Lanjie's...
"Uhh!"
I slapped my own cheek to remind myself.
"It must be an illusion, it must be!"
"Big brother, be careful! A very powerful energy is approaching!"
With my little sister's warning, I stayed in place, took a deep breath, and pretended to be calm as I said,
"I can feel it too, it's like they're wailing or lamenting their misfortune..."
"Big brother!"
"Yeah?"
"Let's quickly leave this place with everyone else, okay?"
My little sister, who was bound by the invisible aura here, became more and more uneasy.
This kind of elemental fluctuation seemed to be in conflict with my little sister's Magic Sword wave, and while everyone else lost the protection of their magic equipment, my Cloud Sword magic sword still remained tangible!
And the communication between my little sister and me was not severed, why is that...
"Not subject to the constraints here?"
"Yeah, I don't belong to this world, so I'm an unauthenticated existence."
When my little sister said this, I suddenly remembered that day, my little sister's existence had clearly disappeared completely, but miraculously, she returned to my side.
"Thanks to you, big brother, I have become a complete being..."
My little sister's words from back then echoed in my ears, it was my power that was maintaining her existence.
And creating a brand new little sister!
That's as far as I'll tell of my little sister's story, the most important thing right now is that the new world indeed has more hope and value for rebirth than our world.
Imperial City has gone through a long time, its history is much earlier than that of the human history of the old world.
Only by traveling with Ancestor did I know that there were unequal acts of violence happening everywhere on the seemingly prosperous streets, but in such a world, no one would sympathize or pity you!
The nature of war and plunder remain unchanged wherever you go.
The heart has always been full of lies and deceit!
"Is it defiling myself, or is it indulging in destruction, all up to me?"
I can no longer feel the coldness and chilling brought by the winter, because I am no longer a human body, but have obtained a power as great as a god, so this is fairness...
If this story were to have an ending, I hope it is--forever!
However, now that I have returned from the other world to here, I am no longer the Paroni who couldn't withstand the cold.
Having experienced many lives and deaths, I have abandoned many things, but also gained many things!
Now, all I have left is my little sister...
"Is that so? Then, what does the sword in your hand mean to you..."
"Who is it?!"
A somewhat familiar male voice called out to me from beside, but when I turned around to look for him, he would disappear from my sight.
"Don't bother looking, you won't find me!"
The man's voice once again surrounded my ears, sounding non-threatening, so I relaxed my guard.
"Alright then, do you have something to tell me?"
"Hmph, quite the naive and childish thoughts you have, little brat!"
The man's attitude towards me was inconsistent, as if he didn't want to answer my questions from the beginning.
He was avoiding conflicts with me at every turn, using silence as his shield, and then he continued.
"It's not that I can't tell you, but rather that I only know this much."
