I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

Her actions were filled with maternal warmth, attempting to give him strength in such a simple and direct way.

"Must survive."

"No matter what happens, never give up on living."

"Escape is also an option."

Her fingers gently traced the top of Mingxian's head, each touch seeming to transmit an invisible power.

Mingxian: "..."

I have a feeling that she misunderstood something.

[Target: Lisa Imai]

[Strategy completion rate reached 100%]

[Reward: Advanced Knitting Technique]

Please keep up the good work, host.

Is this girl overflowing with maternal love?

Not Agito: Chapter Fifty-One: No Cause

After parting ways, only Naruhira and Riona remained, standing in front of the quiet station.

A gentle spring breeze caressed their cheeks, and the passersby seemed to be in another world, busy with their daily lives, completely unaware of the extraordinary night that had just taken place.

This scene filled Riona with a nameless fear.

It was quietly erased overnight.

The people on the ground didn't react at all, as if nothing had happened.

Mingxian glanced sideways at Li Yu Nai.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Li Yuna hesitated, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

After their encounter, she became even more convinced that the boy, who was two years younger than her, was actually an innocent bystander.

By a twist of fate, he murdered a god and usurped his power, but now he is forced to become an enemy of the god.

Although Riona does not believe that fighting against the gods is an absolutely righteous act, and even foresees that this action will incur the disgust of many people, who will regard Miruken as an irreconcilable demon king.

In the end, she only asked this one question:

"Can you win?"

"It will win."

The zither responded simply and firmly.

Then, he suddenly felt something was wrong; the words seemed rather ominous.

Riona took a deep breath, wanting to say something more.

"Ding dong! Ding dong!"

Suddenly, the station's loudspeaker announced that an express train was about to arrive.

However, it produced a familiar, resonant sound.

"New warrior, how have you been lately?"

This is the voice of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

Mingxian immediately raised his head, and golden runes appeared in his pupils.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said through the broadcast: "Although the time is not yet right, I have encountered an old acquaintance, or rather, a clone of an old acquaintance according to human terms."

"what?"

Mingxian tilted his head, completely unaware of what he was hearing.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden explained in a superior tone: "The power of the world-saving divine blade is immense. Gods slain by that noble platinum blade will leave behind their remains."

"Some humans would try to make use of these remains."

"It's like using wreckage as raw material to create a divine artifact."

"Or it may be enshrined and regarded as a sacred object such as the 'Holy Grail'."

"Three hundred years ago, my old acquaintance descended upon the land of China, but was killed by Maitreya with a blade of light. These are the remains he left behind after his death."

"Later, it was discovered by humans and made into something."

"The remnants of the divine personality and thought model of that thing have been preserved."

Upon hearing this, Mingxian was curious and waited for the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to continue, but she suddenly stopped, as if she was about to end the story.

"What is it?" Mingxian could only ask.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden then spoke up: "It is 'counting rods,' but according to modern human terminology, it should be called a computer."

Li Yuna suddenly looked up and blurted out a word.

"Lotu No. 1".

Mingxian's pupils contracted as he recalled this world, China's national production and distribution system.

To hand over such great power to a computer.

This is just ridiculous.

Mingxian couldn't help but think the same way.

It wasn't just him; many people in China shared this sentiment, feeling that life was already good enough, so why ask for more?

Now Mingxian understands.

This is hardly handing over power to a cold computer.

This is handing over power to the mythical "Holy King"!

quack--

The sound of a train entering the station rang out, accompanied by the friction of metal rails and the soft creak of wheels. A tram with only one carriage slowly came to a stop in front of Mingxian.

The car door slowly opened, revealing a robot standing inside.

This robot is entirely black, like an abyss in the dead of night. Every inch of its body hides a complex mechanical structure. It has red, insect-like compound eyes, horns on its forehead that point upwards, and the logo of the Genmaki Foundation is prominently displayed on its left chest.

Ding!

As if some program had been activated, the robot's eyes suddenly lit up, like two rubies set in the night, radiating a heart-stopping light.

Sparks shot out from beneath their feet, accompanied by a deafening roar.

The robot charged toward Mingxian like a rocket, with overwhelming force.

Faced with this sudden attack, Mingxian simply raised his hand, his posture relaxed and at ease, and steadily caught the robot's powerful punch.

Boom!

Two powerful energies collided and merged at the point of contact, creating ripples of pale white light.

The ripples spread rapidly, ruffling Riona's hair and stirring the surrounding air, creating a subtle vortex.

"This is the G1 exoskeleton armor created by the Genmaki Foundation based on your fighting style. It was sealed away because humans could not use it at all."

The robot spoke in a man's voice.

"I'll borrow it for a little while, you don't mind, do you?"

"You've already taken it."

Mingxian suddenly pushed with his right hand, the force so great that it sent the robot G1 staggering back several steps until its back was pressed against the air. Then, it suddenly unfolded, and a pair of wings that shone with metallic luster burst out from its back amidst the roar of the engine and the vibration of the air.

It hovered steadily in mid-air.

“Another one that can fly.” Mingxian’s lips curled into a playful smile. “You don’t actually think that this toy-like being can compare to me, do you?”

The robot G1 emitted a completely flat sound, like the ancient tolling of a bell echoing in an empty valley.

"Without cause, why did this celestial star fall here?"

As the incantation was cast, an ancient scroll hidden within the mechanical body suddenly lit up, and the mechanical body itself emitted light.

The light was like the first ray of sunlight at dawn.

In an instant, the robot G1 underwent a dramatic transformation, unleashing a terrifying aura that swept outwards like a raging sea.

Its power is exactly the same as that of [Thousand Body Scorching Star]!

That was the divine power of Chi You.

The robot G1 accelerated in mid-air, unleashing the divine power of Chi You, like a comet streaking across the night sky, carrying earth-shattering force as it crashed towards Mingxian.

Upon seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Mingxian's eyes.

"Transform!"

His entire body instantly transformed into cold steel, a manifestation of his power, [Thousand Body Scorching Stars].

"bring it on!"

With a low roar, Mingxian stomped his foot and retreated, skillfully avoiding the collision.

The station was hit and a two-meter-wide crater was created.

The robot G1's attack did not stop. Its calves sank into the ground, its body spun like a top, accompanied by a whistling sound, and its fists swept towards Mingxian like spinning chainsaws.

Mingxian dodged easily with a flash, and at the same time, he threw a backhand punch that slammed into the chest of robot G1 with a dazzling light.

boom!

Robot G1 flew out like a golf ball that had been hit.

The concrete beneath them flew into the air like tofu crumbs.

G1 unfurled its wings of light and, propelled by its powerful thrust, charged toward Mingxian once more.
