Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Liliana witnessed the entire devastating battle between Chen Hong and Marquis Voban from the periphery of the battlefield.

"hiss!"

"The new king is terrifying!"

"Even the veteran god-slayer, Marquis Voban, was powerless to resist. He was kneaded and crushed, and used as a guinea pig on the experimental table."

"Could it be that the new king's strength has far exceeded the limits of a god-slayer?"

"Wouldn't this lead to a major change in the world order?"

"Where should I go from here?"

Liliana frowned, looking somewhat worried.

"Hey, isn't this the Sword Fairy Liliana?"
Why are you so lost and bewildered, like a stray dog?

Could it be that seeing its master defeated is causing it to worry about its future?

A sarcastic yet sharp voice rang out.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Liliana instinctively gripped her sword hilt, looked in the direction of the person, and was as alert as a female leopard, ready to draw her sword and strike at any moment.

"Erika!"

Liliana glared at her old rival, whom she had competed with since childhood, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Both are genius girls, both possess exceptional sword and knightly talents, and both belong to the Red Copper Black Cross and the Bronze Black Cross, which are also rival allies.

It's easy to imagine the relationship between the two women.

She's just like the neighbor's kid; she's constantly being compared to others.

The taciturn and earnest Liliana often gets so frustrated by the eloquent Erica that her cheeks puff out.

"Oh my, Lily is still so cute even when she's angry," Erica teased, but stopped joking and put on a serious expression just as Liliana was about to explode.

"Seriously, Liliana, how about coming to work for the new king?"

"You've seen what happened to Marquis Voban."

"The rise of a new king is destined to be unstoppable."

"Join now before others realize it, or you might not have a place in the future."

“But… I am, after all, Marquis Voban’s subordinate. Would it be wrong to betray him and switch allegiance?” Liliana hesitated and struggled.

“You’re not Marquis Voban’s knight. You didn’t swear allegiance to him, so what kind of betrayal is that?” Erica couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

"But wouldn't that violate the morality and spirit of a knight?" Liliana was still a bit too upright.

Erica couldn't help but tease, "Marquis Voban is destined to fall from grace, you know. Do you really want to serve a temporary boss who isn't even your monarch until the end?"

"No way, no way, the dignified young lady of the Granichal family can't even grasp this basic situation, can she?"

Liliana's face darkened; that sarcastic tone was typical of that rude lioness.

"Damn it!" Liliana clenched her little fists.

“I cannot betray my old master and pledge allegiance to a new one, thus violating the virtues and principles of being a knight.”

“Silly girl, you’re not Marquis Voban’s knight, you don’t need to preach chivalry to him.” Erica couldn’t help but facepalm.

"No, morality resides in my heart. I cannot overcome that hurdle in my heart, and I will not surrender easily."

"It seems that reasoning with them is not working."

"Then let's do it the same way as before, have a friendly spar."

The two drew their swords and began to fight.

Both were great knights, and their strength was evenly matched.

Liliana, incredibly agile, leaped into the air and fought against Erica's lion-like strength with her swift and nimble swordsmanship.

The two fought back and forth for over a decade without being able to break each other's moves, creating a scene reminiscent of a lion and a bird battling.

"Damn it, looks like they're going to have to use their ultimate move."

"The drawers of the dormitory desk... are so beautiful, both lyrical and girlish."

Liliana's sword stopped, her hand trembling: "You mean...?" "I hate those cold people the most!"
But what is this pounding heartbeat in my chest?
Is this love?

Erica began to act out a scene from a Mary Sue novel written by Liliana herself.

"Ah! This sentiment can't be stopped now, don't..."

"Shut up!" Liliana's face flushed red; she couldn't listen anymore.

"Why do you know?"

"Tell me, when did you peek?"

Erica smiled smugly, "Lily, if you obediently side with us and become the king's knight, I won't forget about that notebook."

Liliana gritted her teeth, her dirty secrets exposed, and her shame turned her into a steam girl.

"Besides surrendering, there's also the option of killing you to shut you up forever."

"Ah, what a pity. If I die, my will will be published to the world, and it contains plots from your novel."

Young Liliana, you don't want everyone to know you're writing a Mary Sue novel, do you?

"How can it be repaired?"

Liliana was grinding her teeth to pieces, but with her vital point being held, she had no choice but to give in.

"Erica Blantri!"

"I'll remember that, you just wait and see!"

Seeing Liliana's silver-haired, puffed-up face, Erica felt inexplicably pleased.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

"Then let's go, make preparations, and go to see the new king."

…………

Just as Chen Hong was immersed in his research, the major commotion here was noticed by the powerful forces.

The Committee for Compiling Official Histories.

A group of people are having a heated discussion about recent major events.

"It has been confirmed that the seventh king has been born, and after killing the god, he came to our Yingzhou Island to cause trouble without stopping."

"The new king's name is Chen Hong. He is from the Central Plains. He fought a battle with Marquis Voban on our Yingzhou Island, causing economic losses in the trillions."

"And it led to a large number of humans turning into killing monsters, killing each other, becoming bloodthirsty and brutal, obsessed with killing, and unable to extricate themselves."

“We have already sent sorcerers and witches to check, and most of them have become mentally twisted and cannot return to normal.”

Suddenly, an old man from the Showa era slammed his fist on the table!
"Bagaya road!"

"Even if he is the king, isn't this going too far?"

"What does he take Yingzhou for?"

"Is this a place where people can destroy things at will and act recklessly?"

"What does he take the people of Yingzhou for?"

"A puppet that can be manipulated at will?"

"How could he stand by and watch the people of Yingzhou turn into killing monsters, slaughtering each other as if it were a theatrical performance, without a shred of pity? Does he even have humanity? Is he even human?"

“He is a god-slayer,” Amakasu Touma suddenly said, catching the old man off guard.

The old man was a little embarrassed, then turned angry and continued to slam his fist on the table: "Baka!"

"Don't I know? Do you need to tell me?"

Even if he is a noble king, his willful and reckless behavior is going too far. The old man's voice was much softer.

"Ahem." Saya Miyako, sitting at the head of the table, coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention.

"Well, we should treat the king differently."

Be cautious. (End of Chapter)
