Zhu Yue gripped the dark blue sword hilt with one hand.
She swung her sword forward with a solemn gesture.
This blow tore the world itself apart.
It was an act of violence that occurred naturally, without any magic or attached concept.
The mythical beasts simply vanished.
Not even a drop of blood was left.
There was no trace of them fighting with Zhu Yue, as if they had never existed in the first place.
It was another terrifyingly swift and deadly kill.
Yao Ting Zhu Yue had said that the current Demon Sword True World was not complete, and its power was less than half of its peak.
The reason is that the divine era was weak.
The future of the planet is being taken into human hands and is gradually transforming into an environment more suitable for human survival.
The world, and even mystery itself, is weakening.
Having experienced prosperity, learning, independence, and wisdom, humankind is now a species independent of this planet.
Even if the planet dies, humanity can survive.
This is something the planet fears.
"Summon... Summon more for me...!"
The villagers' frantic shouts interrupted Yao's thoughts.
The boy was about to reach the end of his road.
By continuously summoning divine beasts that should never have appeared, he, as a wish-granting machine, had to pay the price with his life.
The life force of seeing the divine child gradually faded away.
The villagers were plunged into utter despair.
Their fate is self-evident.
The villagers, driven mad by their desires, ultimately paid a bloody price for them.
A vibrant life was broken down into pieces of meat.
An invisible blade took his life.
"Dawn has come, your death is near."
Zhu Yue smiled happily.
Her movements were more elegant and terrifying than ever before.
It has a kind of endearing charm, like a flower petal plucked for divination.
It also contains the cruelty of wanting to tear the wings of an insect that is being manipulated into a thousand pieces.
Walking through pools of blood, yet remaining unstained.
The only one who could witness this scene from beginning to end was Yao, who was traveling with her.
To be honest, these villagers are not innocent.
Encountering a killing god like Zhu Yue was entirely deserved.
However, looking at Zhu Yue so easily slaughtering lives, Yao thought of how she used to live peacefully with humans.
In his memory, Zhu Yue had two different appearances.
Innocent, romantic, and gentle.
Tyrannical, ruthless, and cold-blooded.
It's hard to imagine that one person could possess all of these characteristics.
"call....."
Yao gazed intently at Zhu Yue.
Compared to the gentle Zhu Yue of my past memories, the Zhu Yue before me is more beautiful and elegant.
Like that unrestrained, mysterious flower that blooms proudly under the beautiful moonlight.
At the same time, this vermilion moon also made the human rationality rooted in Yao's soul tremble.
It was as if they wanted to warn him about something.
She is a monster that humanity has feared since the beginning of time, and a destiny that humanity cannot defy.
The collective consciousness of humanity is roaring.
Zhu Yue is such a person.
In an instant, Yao understood many things.
Zhu Yue, who has lived in peace with humans for the past twenty years, is not a fake.
But that's not the truth either.
Zhu Yue never considered coexisting peacefully with humans. The reason she showed friendliness to humans was entirely because of Yao.
"I don't want Yao to hate me."
So, I'll be a little gentler on humans~
That's probably what Zhu Yue was thinking.
She was completely indifferent to whether humans lived or died.
No, to be more precise, Zhu Yue only cared about Yao; she was indifferent to the life and death of other creatures.
Chapter Fourteen: Ambitions Born of Love [Seeking Flowers! Seeking Monthly Tickets!]
Arrogant, domineering, and conceited.
This is the true nature of Zhu Yue Brunstad.
Using so-called humanity to evaluate the existence of non-human beings is utterly foolish.
The fatal flaw was that Yao fell in love with this inhuman woman.
The woman also fell madly in love with him.
In order to prevent her beloved from feeling disgusted, Zhu Yue was able to temporarily forget her pride and show gentleness to humans.
She wanted to become the kind of person her beloved would like.
However, this does not mean that Zhu Yue intends to change herself—a person outside of humanity is still a person outside of humanity, and cannot be changed.
Her compromise with Yao is proof of love.
As long as he is away from Yao, Zhu Yue remains the arrogant Moon King, one of the primordial beings who regards all living beings as worthless weeds.
Too poignant, too powerful.
This strength is also Zhu Yue's greatest weakness.
Yao was unaware of how Zhu Yue was killed in the future foreseen by the Imaginary Tree.
Now, he understands to some extent.
No matter how powerful she is, she is still alone, all by herself.
Like a bubble in a dream.
How could one person's perfection possibly rival an entire race, let alone the entire human race as an adversary?
"Yao, this guy is still breathing. Let me think, we could do an interesting experiment on him."
"experiment...?"
Yao was drawn to Zhu Yue's words.
He pulled himself out of the sea of thought, his mind still filled with extremely complex thoughts.
Zhu Yue is a non-human being, like a god.
However, Yao would not hate or reject Zhu Yue because of this, nor would he fear Zhu Yue because of it.
In fact, Yao still cherishes those memories.
Even if it's a non-human being, it doesn't matter; he wants to love Zhu Yue, who is working hard for him.
Yao will not let Zhu Yue be alone.
This was a promise he made to Zhu Yue in his heart.
"Just you wait, you'll be very surprised."
Zhu Yue revealed an innocent and romantic smile.
As she spoke, a drop of eerie blood condensed at her fingertip, which she then flicked at the dying divine child.
Fresh blood fell into the mouth of the divine child.
The next second, the divine child, who should have been facing death, trembled all over, and some kind of strange change was happening to him.
"Huff...huff...I...am still alive...?"
The boy was like a drowning person who had just climbed ashore.
He was breathing heavily, with an intense greed.
It's an astonishing miracle that someone who should have died came back to life.
No, he is no longer human.
"Dead Apostle transformation... no, this is... you've filled in the gaps in those True Ancestors and Dead Apostles?"
"You're right! Thanks to Yao's help, the time it took to fix this defect was much faster than I expected. In this way, humans are no longer the only primates on this planet. We now truly have a chance to take this planet under our control."
"To take the planet into our hands..."
Yao wanted to ask more questions.
However, he noticed that Zhu Yue had changed.
Although her appearance remained unchanged, Zhu Yue's demeanor and aura had changed.
She showed both gentleness and tenderness towards Yao Shi.
At the same time, she also possesses the cold arrogance of a queen.
It's like a superposition of the two.
"Yao, my goal is to create the perfect Dead Apostle. A star race that has no bloodlust and can reproduce like humans."
That is, the new generation of primates after the gods.
Even now, the original principles remain undefined. The foundations of this planet are still extremely weak. Now is the perfect opportunity to seize it.
Zhu Yue recounted the story excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Yao Cai understood why Zhu Yue had said that Earth's invitation to her was a tremendous opportunity.
From the very beginning, she was plotting against Earth.
Zhu Yue has extremely strong ambitions.
This guy isn't some naive fool; he's an extremely ambitious schemer who takes recklessness to the extreme.
"But if you do that, you will be completely on the opposite side of humanity. In that case, you will be at odds with human history itself."
Yao felt a headache coming on when he thought about this.
Originally, he planned to accumulate strength to enhance himself and avoid the possibility of Zhu Yue being targeted by the suppressive force as much as possible.
Who would have thought that Zhu Yue had already accomplished this?
This was completely beyond his expectations.
Rather, Yao's involvement actually accelerated the progress of the Anecdotes, and the Dead Apostles and humans were about to engage in a battle ahead of schedule.
Indeed, man proposes, God disposes.
