Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

"You...you're just making excuses!" Yuri Mariya pointed at Chen Hong indignantly, "Why didn't you lure him off the island to fight him?"

"Oh, you mean, like your ancestors, to provoke wars abroad, divert attention from other peoples, and invade other countries?"

"You...you've misunderstood! I meant to move to uninhabited areas, like at sea, to fight."

Chen Hong shook his head. "What do you think a Godslayer is? Someone you can control however you want, someone who will obediently follow your orders?"

"Since you pride yourself on being righteous, then let me ask you a question."

If the god-killers and the disobedient gods were to fight on the island, it would mean sacrificing the islanders, fighting fiercely, and destroying the disobedient gods.

Or will we be timid and hesitant, letting disobedient gods escape or even dying in battle, leading to the extinction of all mankind?

Is it better to sacrifice a small number, or to try to protect everyone and end up annihilating everyone?

"This this……"

Faced with this trolley problem, even the self-proclaimed righteous shrine maiden, Mariya Yuri, couldn't answer it. Her face turned red with frustration, white steam rose from her head, and her CPU was about to overheat.

After a long while, she finally turned around.

"No, no. There's a way to have the best of both worlds."

"I am a priestess, I have clairvoyance, and I can provide the king with information about gods who do not obey."

"And the king possesses the golden sword capable of severing divine power. Given enough intelligence, he can seal the authority of the disobedient god, quickly end the battle, and minimize losses. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Yuri Mariya looked up at Chen Hong with hopeful eyes:

"Your Majesty, please allow Yuri Mariya to become your assistant."

I will certainly help you achieve victory and assist you in becoming a benevolent king.

“Uh… there’s no need for that.” Chen Hong shook his head. “I’m well-versed in mythology and history myself. I don’t need your spiritual intelligence. To me, your only value is as consumable material for the ritual of summoning disobedient gods.”

Therefore, your value cannot bind me.

Yuri Mariya was having a mental breakdown; her eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked pitiful.

Chen Hong was completely unmoved by her soft, delicate, and pitiful appearance and ignored her completely.

Yuri Mariya finally broke down, bursting into tears and accusing him:

"How could you do this?"

"Not at all inferior."

"Do you know that as a king, every move you make affects the happiness and lives of countless people?"

How can you have no sense of responsibility at all?
I hate irresponsible men like you!

Chen Hong looked at her with an expression as if she were an idiot:
"You're just a consumable item, so what if I hate you? Do I need you to like me?"

"You! You!" Yuri Mariya pointed at Chen Hong, too angry to speak.

Just then, a knight came to report:
“Your Majesty, the members of the Committee for the Compilation of Official Histories have arrived and request an audience with you.”

"Oh? It really does come together."

"Since they're already here, let them in. I'd like to see what kind of tricks the sorcery organization from Yingzhou can pull."

Soon, Touma Amakasu walked in with a group of people.

"Amakasu Touma, representing the Committee for the Compilation of Official Histories, has come to pay homage to the Great King!"

Amakasu Touma was extremely respectful, and everyone else followed suit with impeccable manners. To the uninitiated, their first impression was that they were a group of very polite and elegant nobles.

Chen Hong didn't seem to care and casually asked, "What brings you here?"

Amakasu Touma lowered his head and looked down, but secretly glanced at the rumored young new king out of the corner of his eye.

"Reporting to the King, we have discovered a glowing [Hera Pillar] in the riverbed of our underground temple quarry."

The time when it shone was the same time when the Gorgon Stone was unearthed.

Like Athena, Hera is an earth goddess, belonging to the dragon and serpent family.

Therefore, we speculate that the appearance of the Gorgon Stone caused the Pillars of Hera to resonate with it, accumulating magical power, which is why they glowed.

"In addition, we discovered traces of the descent of a disobedient god."

Based on our excellent ninja intelligence capabilities, the official history compilation committee discovered that the disobedient god was a handsome young man with dazzling golden hair like the sun, wearing white clothes and a cloak.

We used the witch's spiritual vision to discover that his true identity was Perseus, the steel hero of the mythical era.

It is speculated that its arrival was due to sensing the resurgence of the dragon-serpent, being drawn to it, and thus coming to slay it.

"so what?"

Chen Hongping's calm words greatly surprised Amakasu Touma and the others.

Shouldn't a god-slayer be excited and overjoyed upon hearing of a god who doesn't obey, and rush off to kill that god in order to increase his own power?

Why do you look so nonchalant?
Is this still the reckless son of a fool?

Amakasu Touma carefully considered his words and tentatively asked:

“Great King, we are all your subjects. You are the King who protects Yingzhou.”

Only the mighty You can stand against the disobedient gods.

If we let Perseus go unchecked, the entire continent of Yingzhou will be destroyed, and even the whole world will be destroyed.

We implore the great king to bestow mercy and save Yingzhou, and save the world!

Seeing Chen Hong's unmoved expression, and glancing at the dejected look on Wanli Valley's face in the corner, Amakasu Touma felt a sense of foreboding. He gritted his teeth and spoke again:
"Our official history compilation committee is willing to provide the king with all resources, including intelligence and tactical support, to help the king achieve victory, and to submit to the king and pay tribute. In addition, we have twenty-eight peerless beauties to offer to the great king."

Amakasu Touma clapped his hands, and the 'peerless beauties' selected by the twenty-eight families walked out in a line, dressed in bedsheets and covered in white powder, like zombies.

Chen Hong glanced at it and couldn't help but think to himself that these old-fashioned people had absolutely terrible taste.

"First of all, I am not your protector king, I am a god slayer, a tyrant, a demon king. Don't try to flatter me."

Chen Hong's first words sent a chill down Amakasu Touma's spine, making him realize something was wrong.

Is it possible that some people in the Central Plains don't like wearing tall hats?
"Secondly, I don't care about any of your so-called intelligence, resources, or beauties."

The second sentence says, "Amakasu Touma's heart was completely dead."

"Finally, I heard that you actually dared to use the '弼马温' (Bima Wen) spell to seal away my Central Plains' Monkey King, Sun Wukong. This is simply audacious and unforgivable."

"A hundred years ago, the leader of the Luo Hao sect believed that Sun Wukong was clearly a hero of his country, but he was being raised and played with by the Japanese, which was an unforgivable crime. Knowing that such a guy existed and leaving him alone would damage his own reputation."

So they attacked Yingzhou, attempting to break the seal, and blew up the temple and surrounding shrines as well, but failed because they couldn't penetrate the Netherworld Corridor.

"A hundred years later, let me complete this unfinished work for Master Luo Hao."

"Smash the temple, blow up the shrine, release Sun Wukong, and settle this matter that has lasted for a century." (End of Chapter)
