Faced with the Ogre King's sophistry, Yin Qianyu countered with:
"State the facts? When has the infamous Ogre King ever bothered to state these facts to an ordinary person?"
Are you deliberately trying to guide me into making choices that you want to see?
The ogre king's狰狞 smile froze, and after a long while, his expression softened. The ogre king sighed softly:
"As expected of the Imperial Princess, whom even the Undying Duke fears."
Upon hearing this, both the extraordinary alien races and the survivors beside Yin Qianyu were stunned, and then shock appeared in their eyes.
"The eldest princess? The one who should have inherited the throne as emperor?"
"Isn't it rumored that she eloped with another commoner and gave up her claim to the throne? Why is she here?"
"So, that little blue guy next to her must be the legendary Yordle!"
"Heimerdinger laid the foundation for the Mechanical Empire and left behind that massive steam city for the entire Mechanical Empire."
Veigar, the demigod mage, is one of the most powerful demigods in the Stellaris universe to date. He has a history of killing true gods, and a vast distorted space still remains in the outer reaches of space.
What kind of terrifying being must this third Yordle be?
"Now that you mention it, the shadow beneath her seems to possess some kind of intelligence. Could this be what makes her special?"
......
A murmur arose among the crowd, and even the dozen or so survivors of the Undying City couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
It wasn't that they disrespected the princess, but rather that the information about Yin Qianyu was so bizarre that they couldn't suppress their curiosity.
Yin Qianyu, who instantly became the center of attention, no longer needed to conceal her identity. She lifted the black hood covering her, revealing her long silver-white hair and stunningly beautiful face.
When Ivyia, who had been indifferent, saw Yin Qianyu's beautiful face, she felt a sudden tremor in her heart, and an unknown sense of crisis inexplicably rose in her mind.
Ignoring the murmurs around her, Yin Qianyu parted her red lips and continued:
"Your words just now, Ogre King, were probably meant to tell me that the inertia of history is irreversible, and no matter what choice I make, the alien races will successfully occupy the entire Dark Domain."
In contrast, are you willing to nominally submit to the Empire in order to maintain the superficial stability of the Great Yin Empire?
The ogre king gently placed his right hand on his chest and said slowly in a deep voice:
"Your Highness is wise!"
"But what if I don't want to?"
Yin Qianyu countered with a question.
A smile appeared on the ogre king's狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face:
"Your Highness, I advise you to heed my advice."
The answer I give must be the consensus of the imperial upper class. For their own interests and so-called stability, they will remove all obstacles.
This naturally includes you!
"Now that you have not yet inherited the throne, the support of the nobles is especially important to you."
Is it worth giving up the throne that's within reach for these commoners?
"Only by ascending the throne can you have just the right amount of room to exert your strength and thus better benefit these common people."
All you need is a tiny, insignificant sacrifice.
The moment the Ogre King finished speaking, he felt as if the black robe draped over Yin Qianyu had transformed into the night sky, obscuring his vision.
A sense of crisis filled his mind, and the fighting instincts hidden within the Ogre King's body erupted instantly, his Saintly Domain unfolding in a moment to foresee all threats.
But in the next moment, accompanied by a sound like tearing cloth, a dazzling light streaked across the night sky, shattering the Saint's domain like the light of dawn.
Everyone instinctively closed their eyes in the dazzling light.
When she opened her eyes again, all everyone saw was Yin Qianyu, dressed in a blue and white military uniform, looking indifferent as she gently sheathed the longsword engraved with the sun's mark.
Before her, the darkness emanating from the black robe swallowed everything in the night, and the sword light frozen in the darkness had shattered the ogre king's resistance.
A clear sword mark grazed the neck, and the huge, ferocious head slammed into the ground, blood gushing from the small giant's body.
Yin Qianyu remained unmoved by what she saw; she simply replied in a calm voice:
"No one can make the decision to sacrifice for another."
The imperial nobles are like this, the Immortal Lord is like this, and so am I!
Walking slowly to the fallen body of the Ogre King, Yin Qianyu reached out and lifted the huge head that was still flowing with blood.
A look of astonishment still lingered on his狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face, as if the ogre king had never imagined that Yin Qianyu had the ability to kill him.
With her head held high, Yin Qianyu looked down at all the alien races before her and declared in a resounding voice:
"I, Yin Qianyu, hereby swear that I will dedicate my life to expelling these pests and wiping them out completely!"
Chapter 71 I need you to destroy the world?
This magically powered train, which looked somewhat unusual, was extremely fast, and it returned to Ming City from the Undead City in less than two hours.
During the journey, Luo Tian discovered that the magic train did not stop at any of the city stations it passed, and continued directly toward Ming City.
It's as if this Magic Train was originally a direct train to Mingcheng.
"Would I have stolen someone else's ride-hailing service?"
Luo Tian felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
The Magic Train slowly came to a stop on the empty platform at night. Luo Tian stepped off the train and finally saw a trace of human life in Mingcheng Station.
Even late at night, there are still many staff members coming and going in the station waiting hall, as well as some passengers leaning back in their seats waiting for the late-night train.
After Luo Tian entered the Undying City, he spent most of his time interacting with a group of strange-looking alien races. Coupled with the chaotic and cruel art style of the Undying City, it gave people a bizarre and absurd feeling of a demon city under the apocalypse.
Seeing these staff and passengers coming and going again now feels like stepping back into the normal world.
The image of the destroyed city flashed through Luo Tian's mind, and he let out a sigh before carrying the demonic sword that housed Aatrox and walking out of the station.
Along the way, many people cast strange glances at Luo Tian, after all, the design of the demonic sword was too conspicuous.
Moreover, the Demon Sword itself is a two-handed greatsword, so even if Luo Tian wanted to hide it, there was no way to do so, so he simply carried it on his shoulder.
Luo Tian's actions eventually attracted the attention of the staff at Mingcheng Station. After showing his credentials as a member of the Otherworld Management Committee, the staff reluctantly let him pass, repeatedly reminding Luo Tian not to carry such a dangerous-looking weapon around the station next time.
After Luo Tian walked out of the station, Aatrox, who had been silent all along, finally burst into laughter.
"Ha ha! What did I just see?"
A powerful figure who successfully slew a god was actually harassed by a mere staff member? Where is your pride as a powerful being?
"Luo Tian, the rules of this world should not bind a strong person like you."
You should come with me to overturn this world and break all the chains that bind you!
Upon hearing this, Luo Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Carrying the demonic sword, Luo Tian strolled through the streets late at night, retorting with a leisurely air:
“I have a house, a wife, and pets. I have a happy marriage and a blissful life. Why would I want to do something as stupid as turning the world upside down with a lonely old man like you?”
"What era are we living in? Even if you're trying to manipulate people, you need to keep up with the times!"
Aatrox was stunned.
After his thoughts raced through his mind, he surprisingly felt that what Luo Tian said seemed to make some sense.
As a Darkin filled with negative emotions, Aatrox could easily corrupt an ordinary host with just a few words, taking over their body by exploiting their negative emotions.
But right now he was facing Luo Tian, and the powerful negative emotions of the Dark Ones were nothing in front of Luo Tian.
Without the aid of negative emotions, Aatrox's seductive words seem so pale and powerless.
Just because you're dissatisfied with a staff member, you develop thoughts of destroying the world. Anyone who hears that would just think you're seriously ill.
"Then how should one bewitch people's hearts?"
Aatrox ultimately chose to lower his proud head and seek advice from Luo Tian.
Unexpectedly, the Sword Demon actually accepted his topic, and Luo Tian's expression immediately brightened. He looked at Aatrox seriously and said:
"Actually, this kind of thing is very simple. Think about it carefully, aren't those easily fooled guys all the kind who have a lot of bitterness and resentment?"
"Whatever the 'cursed star,' 'orphaned,' 'victimized by a bull's head,' it's all about being as miserable as possible."
This type of person is born with a dislike for real life, and with a little guidance, they will vent their anger at reality on the world.
If you're at the age of "chuunibyou" (a Japanese term for someone who is in their late teens or early teens), you can probably skip the early stages and quickly jump into themes like "It's not me who's wrong, it's the world," "I want to create a world without minotaurs," "What's the point of this world without you?" and "Why was Mom eaten by giants?"
Once you reach this stage, with just a little guidance, you can completely corrupt him, turning him into a mere shell at your mercy.
Aatrox fell silent. He felt that there was something else hidden in Luo Tian's words, but he wasn't quite sure.
Moreover, what Luo Tian said was indeed very insightful.
The only thing that dissatisfied him was...
"Can these selected carcasses really be used?"
Sword Demon remained skeptical of the value of this body of someone with severe chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).
As a Darkin who once fought against the Void for thousands of years, and ultimately turned to the world out of hatred due to betrayal, embarking on a path of destruction, Aatrox was well aware of the hardships and torments involved.
He couldn't understand or imagine that a teenager would think of destroying the world over such a trivial matter.
Even if you gave him that body, he might not be willing to use it.
Luo Tian waved his hand and retorted to the Sword Demon:
"You can't say that. Although these people do have some mental problems, in terms of destroying the world, they are far more dedicated than you."
Don't underestimate those chuunibyou (delusional) kids! You bastards!
The Sword Demon was speechless, but he also understood what Luo Tian was trying to convey.
Those who are extreme tend to seek out what they lack most. Simply guiding them slightly in this direction and pushing them towards extremes is far better than blindly relying on negative emotions to mislead them.
Thinking of this, the Sword Demon suddenly looked at Luo Tian, who was carrying him on his shoulder.
"Luo Tian, what are your grievances about reality?"
The smile on Luo Tian's face gradually disappeared. The Sword Demon's words reminded him of everything he had seen and heard along the way.
