"He showed us everything you've been through."

Kaguya glanced at Lin Que standing to the side and replied.

"Although you usually behave somewhat embarrassingly, you did a really good job this time, you useless elf."

The little Layla nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I didn't expect that Ryu, who seems so honest, would know so much."

"It seems you've remembered everything I've taught you very well."

"It seems like Ryu has been completely corrupted by Lyra's teachings, as she knows a lot of sneaky moves."

"That's what they say, but it seems that the experience did have a significant effect."

"That's normal. After all, it's something Leila taught us. It would be strange if it didn't work."

...

"It seems that Miss Ryu's previous worries were unnecessary."

Looking at the Astraea Familia members who surrounded Ryu and kept comforting her, Lucy's face showed a look of emotion.

"They all seemed to agree with Miss Ryu's actions, and no one blamed her."

"Because the only rigid, wooden-like creature in the clan is this useless elf."

Seemingly having heard Lucy's words, Kaguya, who was not far away, turned her gaze towards them.

"If it were someone else, even if their entire clan was wiped out, they wouldn't be completely defeated."

"Oh, oh, don't say that, Kaguya."

Alexandra, who was standing to the side, turned her head and looked over: "Even though he was blinded by revenge, he still did not completely abandon justice."

"Even when you lose your fighting spirit, you don't forget to train. When you encounter someone in need of help, you will secretly lend a helping hand."

"Ryu has done very well. Even I, the perfect champion of justice, have nothing to say!"

"You spoiled this useless elf 660 too much, which is why she wasted five years of her life."

Kaguya sighed, "Five whole years, and my strength has barely increased. It's really embarrassing."

"If something unexpected happens and she encounters Zagnat again, wouldn't she have to go through the same events from the original timeline and just watch others die?"

"this......"

Upon hearing Kaguya's words, Ryu was momentarily speechless.

That's the truth; she's barely been to the dungeon in the last five years.

Even if you go, you can only go as far as the eighteenth floor.

The growth in strength was limited, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that five years were wasted.

"Kaguya, please don't make things difficult for Ryu."

Click!

Just as Liu fell silent, the sound of a door being pushed open rang out.

Astraea, dressed in a pristine white dress, opened the door and walked in.

Her azure eyes gazed at everyone in the room, a gentle smile on her face.

"It's already a good thing that everyone can get back together."

......

ECHO is off.

Chapter 268 We have LV.5, there's no way we'll fail! ( )

"Lady Astraea!"

Seeing the figure walking towards her, Ryu's face showed a look of shock.

When did you get back?

"Just got back."

Astraea replied with a smile, "I took a detour to pick someone up on the way back, and I was worried I'd be late."

"Looks like we're in luck; the timing was perfect."

"Just right?"

Upon hearing Astraea's words, Ryu paused for two seconds, then seemed to realize something and suddenly looked at Lin Que.

"When you went back in time, did you still have contact with Lady Astrea?"

"Don't you know that yourself, Ryu?"

Lin Que replied with a smile, "Gods can sense whether the blessings they bestow have diminished."

"Leaving aside those national-type clans with a large number of members, your clan only has eleven people in total."

"If you don't warn her beforehand, even if your memories are sealed, she will still sense that something is wrong."

“That’s it in a nutshell.”

Astraea nodded slightly, a gentle smile on her face.

"When Lin Que suddenly told me that we would all die in the future, it really startled me."

"Later, in order to avoid causing further impact, I had no choice but to leave Orario five years ago as he requested."

"I'm sorry, Ryu. In your time of greatest pain, I had no choice but to remain a bystander so as not to interfere with history."

"......nothing."

After a two-second silence, Liu shook her head: "I'll be satisfied as long as everyone is safe and sound."

"However... according to my agreement with Lin Que, I will be joining Lin Que's clan next."

"Lady Astraea, could you please help me complete the next sect conversion ceremony?"

"No need to bother."

As soon as Liu finished speaking, before Astraea could reply, Lin Que's voice came from the side.

"Our clan's goal is to unify the world."

"Now that the Astrea Familia has returned to Orario, it will be one of my targets for taming, just like the other Familias."

"I now declare war on the Astrea Familia. Will you surrender or continue to resist?"

"This declaration of war is really sudden."

Alexie smiled and looked over: "But justice will not yield, Lin Que!"

So you choose to resist?

"Of course...no!"

Alexie raised her hands and waved them casually: "Although justice will not yield, I who once held justice have already died."

"Now, as a reborn person, I am just an ordinary person drifting with the tide, just like Ryu. I surrender."

Ryu's eyes widened in surprise: "Alissie? What are you suddenly saying!"

"It's alright, Ryu."

A smile appeared on Alexie's face: "Even if you abandon justice, it doesn't matter, I will stand by you."

"Let us start anew, and embark on the path of justice once more from this new beginning!"

"Count me in."

Kaguya raised her hand: "I surrender too."

"Kaguya?"

"And me too~ If the commander has already surrendered, there's no point in me continuing to resist."

"Surrender, surrender! There's absolutely no way we can win."

"That's right. I remember Lin Queshen taking us all down in one move. We surrender."

“I’m just a therapist. If you all vote, then I don’t have any other choice.”

...

Without any intention of resisting, all members of the Astrea Familia made their choice in just a few seconds.

"Thank you, everyone."

Standing there blankly, Ryu finally came to her senses, and her eyes became a little moist.

"I......"

Bang-!

Just as Liu was about to say something, a loud crash suddenly rang out, and the room door was forcibly kicked open from the outside in.

Led by an orc, a dozen tall, masked figures rushed in from outside.

"Haha! Found it, and there are quite a lot of people!"
