Ark, they don't revolve around you

Vina walked over and reached out her hand to try to touch Morgan, but her hand froze halfway.

There is no more breathing.

Dagda was still struggling, crying anxiously: "You shouldn't have come, your majesty, run away at once."

Vina raised her head dully: "You did this, Doctor."

"……undoubtedly."

"why?"

"If she wants to kill me, I will kill her." Zhuang Ning's hand was on Vina's blonde hair, just like two years ago.

"But--"

"No buts, my queen, you should understand this." Zhuang Ning hugged her, "Don't worry, I don't plan to kill you, because you don't have the intention to kill me."

"This isn't the first time you've seen a companion die, is it? Just like Alda, she also betrayed you, so she died." Zhuang Ning was particularly sympathetic, "Vina, cheer up."

If it were before, Vina would be happy to hear it.

But now she was filled with rage, so she waved her hand away, clenched her sword, and roared like a lion:

"No!"

"You shouldn't do this, Doctor!"

"Why not?" Zhuang Ning tilted his head, "I once had hope in you, but you... you didn't do everything well."

"The slums are still in chaos and disorder, and the nobles are complacent and have the power of lynching in their hands."

"Vina, you can't change Victoria...even if you are the one I taught."

"I am disappointed, Vina," Jonin repeated, "and this is what you get for disappointing me."

Vina didn't listen, she just hated herself for not carrying the Breath of Kings with her.

She drew her sword and swung it out with all her strength!

That was Aslan's rage. The entire secret room was split into two and disappeared completely. She was no longer the little lion she was two years ago. The girl had grown up and became a monarch whose anger would cause blood to flow for thousands of miles!

But this sword, which seemed to be able to break mountains and rocks, was blocked by two fingers.

Zhuang Ning repeated for the third time: "I am... disappointed."

Vina flew backwards and fell to the ground, coughing up blood.

Dust flew everywhere, her collar was lifted up, and she was forced to look into those eyes.

She saw the black eyes gradually turn into an angry golden color.

"Without me, you'll still be as weak and accomplish nothing as before."

"Vina, do you know why the trial has affected monarchs like you?!"

"First, you probably have some special abilities, such as... your Gawain. This is my first time to perform a trial, so I may not be able to deal with you."

The light blooms.

Vina's vague eyes were filled with light, and she saw the lion stepping through the light, as if walking out of a myth.

That was Gawain, her protector... the lion who had protected her long ago when she was a child.

Now, before she dies, Gawain steps in again.

But Zhuang Ning ignored Beast Master Gao Wen and continued in a low voice: "Second, I don't want a chaotic country. Killing you hastily will not benefit me."

"at last……"

Zhuang Ning was silent for a long time, then shook his head, with mockery in his eyes, "That kind of death is too easy. I think maybe you should see your country fall apart in person."

"Among those I killed in the first judgment, there were wicked people. Their thoughts made me sick, so I destroyed them."

"Besides these, there are many more people whose lives are worse than death, who are barely surviving, suffering from hardships, and living in misery every day."

"I burned their souls and used them as my energy."

"That's millions of sufferings, and it also makes me the biggest sinner in Terra's history." Zhuang Ning closed his eyes, "I have endured millions of sufferings."

The saintly monster said coldly, "And I feel that their suffering is closely related to you."

"You should have heard from the president in Colombia that the trial is still a month away."

He shook his head slightly, "He's wrong."

"The next trial will be in seven days."

"From Columbia to Yan, from Sami to Iberia... This time, the trial will affect everyone."

"These seven days are the only time you have a chance to stop me. Vina, struggle and tell everyone this news."

"In seven days, the true judgment will come. Before that, I will visit every capital of Terra. There is no possibility of reconciliation between you and me."

"Now, I just want to deal with you, or be dealt with by you."

Vina was dying, and Zhuang Ning threw her to Gao Wen.

"Take her away, Gawain. I didn't kill her."

"..."

She was gently pushed onto the lion's back, and her fading consciousness was firmly fixed on Zhuang Ning.

The anger inexplicably dissipated, leaving only...sadness.

"I'm sorry." Vina murmured to someone and then fell into a coma.

……

……

In the jungle, the deer are still running.

A crossbow pierced its neck and it fell down, falling beside a tree.

A man dressed as a butler walked in and slit its throat with a knife, acting brutally.

The deer died, but it didn't know why it died.

It could hear faint sounds from the jungle:

"This is the deer the owner wants to deal with. Tell the owner that we have caught it."

“We killed it.”

Chapter 4: Countdown to Judgment

Under the gray sky, the steel behemoth's engine roars and its tracks crush obstacles.

Rhodes Island was heading towards the flames, being chased by a cloud of ships behind it, like sharks that smelled blood and could not be shaken off.

The high-altitude warship seemed to be enjoying the fun of the chase, but also seemed to be on guard against something, advancing and retreating from time to time.

After the trial, Rhodes Island began to move towards Yan, seeking Yan's protection.

But the countries including Ursus and Casimir found the opportunity and sent an army group to capture this not-so-large landship.

This would be a bargaining chip that could threaten Zhuang Ning.

No matter how powerful the devil is, he is only one person. Now that he is in Victoria, this is the best chance.

The plan did not go as smoothly as expected, and Rhodes Island's command system was more cunning than expected.

But, it still came to an end.

The last glimmer of light in the sky disappeared, and the moment he confirmed that Rhodes Island had entered the encirclement, the last trace of warmth in the battleship commander's eyes disappeared.

Drone swarms were dispatched in large numbers, with giant cannons aimed at the small ships in the encirclement.

The commander ordered coldly: "Open fire."

He felt that everything should be over, that damned trial, that horrifying death, should disappear from the earth!

As a result, the gun barrel was burned red, and huge energy burst out in the smoke and loud noise.

Endless artillery rain fell from the sky, and the operator who was controlling the giant beast of Rhodes Island closed his eyes in despair.

——But no sound was heard.

A black shadow appeared on the screen.

He seemed to have torn apart time and space, emerging inexplicably, looking up, and saw the light falling.

The driver's eyes lit up and he murmured the name: "Doctor... Is the Doctor back?!"

The driver, who was in despair just now, looked at PRTs who led the escape plan: "This is also in the plan."

"Yes." The projection of Precious with black hair and a peaceful face said quietly, "What could be beyond his plan?"

"But he was too tired. He just returned to Rhodes Island from Victoria and had to face an interception."

The whispers were enveloped by the greater sound.

The man in black faced hundreds of high-speed warships without changing his expression. He just stretched out his somewhat frail right hand.

The hand took on an exceptionally gorgeous color, continuously condensing source stones to outline the shape of a sword.

He held it with one hand and with the other hand behind his back, he chopped and hacked casually.

There was a burst of light.

The light spanned a thousand meters, continuously splitting, aiming at the falling shells, and exploded in an instant!

The whole sky was shrouded in dazzling light!

Two lines of tears fell from the commander's eyes. His eyes were stimulated too strongly and he cried uncontrollably.

At the same time, his heart was filled with shock and his breathing was almost suffocated.

They were the ones who surrounded the enemy, so why did they feel like they were the prey?

Could it be that with such a large fleet, he couldn't stop Rhodes Island?

This is impossible! His eyes were grim, but he saw a black shadow.

A trembling whisper came out of the mouth of the non-commissioned officer next to him: "That's... Doctor!"
