This villain is too popular.

Chapter 205 The 'Goodwill' Misunderstood by the Whole World: The Real Twist

As the true 'female lead' of the second season, Vivian's entrance was quite eye-catching.

A strong character, a beautiful appearance, and a steadfast commitment to 'justice' even in the darkest of times.

It can be said that Vivian at the time possessed many of the qualities that an excellent female lead should have, and was a very qualified template for anime female leads in the eyes of most anime viewers.

However, as the second season progressed into its later stages, her status as a Level 1 Star Envoy made her appear particularly awkward in front of the Star Children, whose average level was above 2 and who also possessed a unique 'twin star system'.

Not to mention that every one of the Star Children has received rigorous Star Envoy training since childhood, their basic Star Energy value is far beyond that of ordinary people, plus at least one 'Outstanding Attribute' of A grade or above.

Among the 36 Chosen Ones, even Chen Kong and Liu Ma, who are ranked at the bottom, could easily defeat Vivian, the 'halfway-career' female protagonist.

This undoubtedly greatly limits the acceptance of Vivian among anime/manga fans.

Because of the contrast with other female characters like 'Dust Star' and 'Caroline', anime viewers often have very high expectations for the female characters in the ensemble cast.

One of the biggest requirements is that one cannot be a "pretty face".

However, given her current strength and potential, Vivian will inevitably be left behind by the main characters in a very short time, becoming a true burden.

Therefore, in order for Vivian to keep up with the main characters in a 'reasonable' way, the Stellaris production team had to give her a 'special advantage' that could rival the 'Twins'.

This led to the storyline known as the 'Furnace' in the original work.

A special storyline where Vivian is tempered in flames and forged in a furnace, allowing her to complete a crucial 'evolution'.

Tiandao looked at Vivian inside the steam furnace and Chen Kong outside, who was doing everything he could to save her, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

To be honest, the production team of Stellaris has shown a lot of malice in their treatment of the protagonist, Dust Sky, as a character who 'manipulates fate'.

Out of kindness and gratitude for William's life-saving grace, Dust Sky gave his all in the second half of the second season.

But what's regrettable is that, whether in the original story or now, Chen Kong's unfortunate actions have all failed.

Even without the intervention of the Heavenly Dao, Vivian would still eventually be sent into this steam furnace.

The only difference is that in the original story, the people who appeared in the quantum space and sent her in were Bishop Clyvi and Saint Euphemia.

But just like a monkey that was thrown into an alchemy furnace and ended up with fiery eyes, Vivian also 'coincidentally' turned misfortune into blessing this time.

In the original story, after entering the steam furnace, she not only did not die, but also forged a special talent within the furnace—the Myriad Machines Fire Seed.

【Name: Ten Thousand Machines Spark】

【Effect 1. Machine Soul Storage: Allows you to store machine souls in your quantum space and control them to a certain extent (current maximum: 100)】

【Effect 2. Machine Soul Adaptation: When in contact with intelligent mechanical equipment, one can command the machine soul within their own quantum space to descend upon the intelligent mechanical equipment, greatly enhancing its performance (under certain conditions, the overlimit state can be activated)】

【Effect 3. Mechanical Communication: Regardless of the presence or absence of a machine soul, a mental connection can be established with any intelligent machine, allowing for a certain degree of communication】

[Current number of storage robot spirits: 85]

If we were to pinpoint the greatest advantage of the Children of the Stars, it would be their unique 'binary star system'.

Vivian, this "background heroine," has the key to her comeback: the upcoming Myriad Mechanical Spark.

This talent not only possesses unlimited growth potential similar to the 'Ten Thousand Soul Banner', but it also makes Vivian the only unique AI Star Envoy in the current Star Story to complete the 'Mechanical Soul Modification'.

Indeed, most people, including the former Heavenly Dao, once thought that the mechanical modification of the Star World only involved the physical bodies of the Star Envoys.

In reality, in the extraordinary, idealistic world of the stars, the soul is never some ethereal thing, and machines are not all cold, lifeless inanimate objects.

Therefore, the modification of the soul-level androids not only exists in reality, but it is also the 'stepping stone to godhood' that countless androids dream of.

To put it simply, for the AI ​​Star Envoys, their physical body is their 'hardware,' while their soul is the 'system program' that runs that hardware.

For a truly powerful advanced intelligent machine envoy, they not only need top-tier hardware configurations, but also an advanced system that can perfectly drive that hardware.

At this point, Vivian's soul was about to be forged in the steam furnace.

It is the perfect mechanical soul that countless intelligent machine envoys dream of, formed later in life, and walking in the real world.

It was from this point in the story that Vivian, the seemingly insignificant female lead, finally gained the right to compete on the same stage as the Starry Sky Ladder in the third season of the Martial Arts Heavenly Capital, alongside the Starry Sky Ladder and other prodigies of the New Federation.

However, Tiandao went to great lengths to help Vivian not out of any 'gentleness' or 'kindness', but because he had his own agenda.

He needed to let Vivian fully absorb the energy of the steam furnace, until she completely drained the last bit of residual heat from the furnace.

Only in this way could he legitimately seize this special quantum space and then create the perfect spell he had conceived countless times in his mind—the Purgatory Rashomon.

Therefore, in a sense, the one preventing Vivian from moving towards a better tomorrow is not the will of Heaven, but rather the dust and emptiness outside.

On one hand, bad intentions lead to good deeds; on the other hand, good intentions lead to bad deeds.

The twist here was so strange that even the Heavenly Dao itself found it somewhat mysterious.

In fact, if the "high heavens" of Heaven's Way only remain the behind-the-scenes manipulator and the final revelation of the truth...

His so-called "high above the heavens" was nothing more than a clumsy imitation of a classic anime plot from his previous life.

But if you add something special to the process, everything changes.

Because his plan will take a completely new and stunning turn.

For this reason, Tiandao was willing to temporarily bear the labels of 'cold-blooded', 'executioner', and 'willing to trample on the lives of others for the sake of his plans'.

All of this is for that final, true twist that only the audience in this dimension can know.

The fact that their favorite characters are misunderstood by the whole world is something that only those with a god-like perspective can know and see—the 'goodwill' of Heaven.

This will allow viewers to truly feel the unique 'gentleness' hidden beneath the cold eyes of the character 'Heavenly Fate Master'.

To achieve true 'fan purification'.

Thinking of this, Tiandao turned to look in the direction guarded by Chenxing and said something that made the audience of the dimension feel that it was meaningful.

"Have they arrived yet?"

The moment Tiandao finished speaking, a disturbance suddenly occurred in the distant quantum space.

Subsequently, a large number of steam-powered star messengers were dispatched through a special method.

Lacking a 'quantum key' as a medium, they descended into this special quantum space in a physical form.

And the most prominent among these people is none other than the protagonist of the Stars—Chen Kong.
