Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

This system of the World Tree was originally established by Mia and other star gods to protect visitors who accidentally entered this world and give them magical adaptability.

However, during the war between the Star Gods and the Evil Gods, the Celestial Spirits, the other Star Gods abused the traversers, who forcibly gave them powerful powers and dragged them into their own war.

Mia herself unfortunately passed away before the adjustments could be made.

Xiao knew that without the protection of the World Tree, people like her who had no magic power in the world she originally lived in would easily suffer from Magic Crystal Syndrome and die of the disease in no time.

Chapter 149 Raynesia's Request

There was no chance of winning, and Xiao knew it very well.

"Even so, I won't let you do whatever you want."

"As expected, the result is still the same. Based on the current situation, accepting my proposal is clearly your most rational choice."

"But humans don't rely on rationality to survive. So what are you going to do now?"

Although Raynesia's tone was full of helplessness and disappointment, Xiao didn't sense any hostility.

"According to Miss Mia's settings, you are the master with the highest authority over me."

Raynesia's expression became serious, and she addressed Akatsuki with respect.

“But according to your original instructions to me, you also gave me what you called ‘freedom’.

Therefore, according to past instructions, I believe that I can now also deny you as my master."

"Are you going to do that, force me into accepting your plan?"

"No, I hope you can prove now that you are still qualified to be my master.

If Xiao can prove it, I will not only abandon my original plan, but also provide protection for Miss Crystal and others according to your wishes."

"Aren't you the only one who wants to resurrect Mia and the others by taking over their bodies?"

"Possession? Although I don't think this is possession, there are indeed others who want to do this."

"Hina, is that so?"

"Yes, it was Miss Hina who proposed this plan to me. If you wish to protect Miss Crystal and the others, please persuade or defeat Miss Hina yourself.

I will not be of any assistance to you during this period."

"You mean you won't continue to provide me with system capabilities, right?... Doesn't that mean the only option left is to convince her..."

Xiao smiled bitterly.

He knew clearly that according to Hina's words, even if Raynesia provided him with all the capabilities of the system in the past, he would still not be her opponent.

"Would you accept that?"

"no problem."

"Now, I will send you back."

After a dizzy feeling, Xiao, whose eyes were all dark, heard the voice that was so anxious that it was about to cry.

(Xiao-nii, you big idiot! What happened just now? And Crystal, Rose, and the others…)

[Don't worry, I'm still here, right? No need to worry about others either.]

Although Xiao also remembered that before he fell into a coma, many of Crystal and the others seemed to have been seriously injured.

But the attack should have been controlled by Raynesia, and she would not let anything unexpected happen to Crystal and others.

After comforting Yiwen Jielin, Xiao slowly opened his eyes.

The silver-blue hair fluttered gently, and the girl with a beautiful face that seemed to be carved out was looking at this place gently.

"I didn't expect to wake up like this. I thought the first thing I saw was an unfamiliar ceiling."

Xiao found himself resting his head on Raynesia's soft and cool thigh.

"Because you really liked what Miss Mia and the others did in the past, I wanted to try to imitate it."

(Hey! You girl are Raynesia, right? What did you do to Xiao-nii just now? Why can't I feel him all of a sudden?!)

Yiwen Jielin's shouting gave Xiao a headache.

"I just cut him off from you. After all, Xiao and I have something to discuss alone."

(Ugh! Then you and Akatsuki should at least tell me, and are Crystal and the others okay? Why did you send people to attack them just now?!)

"They are very safe now. As for..."

"You actually betrayed me, Raynesia."

Before Raynesia could explain the situation to Ivangeline, Hina stormed into the room with Letty.

She has so many different styles of clothes... They must be the result of her love for beauty.

Looking at Hina now wearing a shrine maiden costume that had no connection with this world, Akatsuki couldn't help but have this thought.

"Hina, I didn't do anything to betray you."

"You still say no, where did you hide all those people who served as Mother's vessels?"

"Miss Crystal and the others are already under my protection."

"Isn't that betrayal?!"

Facing Hina's angry questioning, Raynesia began to refute very calmly.

"Our original agreement was that I would complete Akatsuki's memory recovery with your assistance.

As for using Miss Crystal and others as vessels to resurrect Miss Mia and others, although I agree with your plan, I have never promised to assist you.

Although Miss Hina is also the object of my protection and care, you are not my master after all.

I will only act according to the wishes of my master Xiao."

"You bastard... you mean, Brother-sama doesn't want to see Mother and the others anymore?"

Seeing Hina's angry gaze turned towards him, Akatsuki felt something was wrong.

No matter how you look at the current situation, it doesn't seem like the problem can be resolved peacefully.

"Of course I want to see them again, but if I follow your ideas, I will only betray my current companions."

"Companions? It's more than that, isn't it? Some of them actually have your presence, Onii-sama."

When Hina hinted that she was in a relationship with Crystal, Rose, and Lucy, Xiao had no intention of hiding it.

"I don't deny that."

"So you're saying you've fallen in love with someone else, so you've left Mother and the others alone? As expected... my beloved brother-sama is also a disgusting person."

Hina's emotions were a little out of control, tears glistened in her eyes, and she took out a sword and a short staff.

Xiao remembered these two weapons. They were Ai Mei's favorite set of weapons.

"Hina, calm down first."

"Ranessia, are you going to stop me? Even if you have completely controlled the World Tree now, I will do my best to defeat you."

Hina ignored Akatsuki and asked Raynesia about her intentions.

"I don't intend to provide any assistance to Akatsuki. All negotiations and battles will be handled by him."

(Ranessia, what are you talking about...)

Raynesia ignored Evangeline and Hina's shock and took Akatsuki's hand.

"Ms. Yiwen Jielin, please come with me now. After all, it is one of Xiao's wishes to see you in person again."

(Hey, stop it. This isn't the time to talk about this, is it? Without me, Xiao-nii…)

"Leave it to him without worry. I have prepared your new body. Please come with me."

As Raynesia spoke, she pulled Ivangeline out of Akatsuki's consciousness through physical contact with her.

"Letty, you don't have to do anything. I can handle this annoying guy by myself."

Seeing Raynesia about to leave the room, Hina said to Letty, who was also an artificial intelligence beside her.

"I understand, Miss."

Chapter 150 Unexpected Battle Situation

"Honestly, this is a really bad situation."

Xiao drew the two daggers from his waist for self-defense and took up a stance according to his memory.

Without systematic assistance, he didn't know how far he could go.

However, considering that the space ring could not be used due to the lack of magic power, and the sword he was used to using was now very difficult to lift, he did not have high expectations for himself.

Even so, he didn't intend to just follow Hina's wishes.

It's not only to protect Crystal and others, but also for this girl who hasn't grown up even after ten thousand years.

"Don't worry, Brother-sama. I won't kill you. Mother and the others will be sad if I do that."

Hina pointed her sword hand at Akatsuki and placed her staff hand behind her.

This stance made Xiao feel very nostalgic. It was a special fighting method that Ai Mei had created based on the martial arts of this world.

Hina is left-handed like Aimi, so she holds the sword in her dominant hand, which is mainly used to restrain close enemies.

The short staff in her right hand contained many extremely difficult magic spells that Ai Mei had once loved.

Using the staff, Xiao knew that Hina not only did not need to chant, but could also release powerful magic without any warning.

Because he was familiar with this fighting style, Xiao gripped the dagger even tighter due to nervousness.

"As expected of someone once feared by the Celestials and the Statues, derided as a demon king by them. Even without any power, your aura remains as strong as ever."

Hina didn't simply want to praise Akatsuki, but to divert his attention.

As soon as she finished speaking, yellow lightning flashed at Xiao's feet.

With a reaction speed that was beyond even his own expectations, Xiao dodged the lightning that was heading straight for the ceiling.

"It's not over yet!"

Behind him, Xiao clearly felt something strange behind him and to the side.

[Is that murderous intent or a fluctuation of magical power? ]

Xiao didn't understand why he could still do such a thing even though he had lost the assistance provided by the system.

He deftly dodged the ice spike used as bait and the invisible wind blade that He Hina intended to chop off his arm.

"how come…"

Hina was as shocked by this as Akatsuki herself.

Although her method of using decoy magic to conceal her true attack was simple, it was also difficult to resist.

First of all, Hina's magic is almost perfect, so it is basically impossible for the opponent to detect the hidden attack through the magic power leaked by the magic interference.

The second point is that basically no one in this world can cast multiple different types of magic at the same time.

This is basic common sense not only now but also in the past.

Hina had also heard her swordsmanship instructor, Miss Louise, mention something like murderous intent, so of course she would pay attention to this when attacking.

Even though Akatsuki and the others used magic items to hide their magic power in the past, Hina could still clearly sense the magic power of several people.

But now, Xiao really has no magic power at all.

She couldn't understand how Akatsuki could sense her attack and dodge it at a speed that was incapable of normal humans.

As the person involved, Xiao was also confused about the situation, but he had something more important to worry about.

"Hina, if possible, I would like to calm down and talk with you."

"Do you think it's possible? I'm going to revive Mom no matter what. Since Brother-sama's strength is beyond my imagination, I'm not going to show any mercy."

Although the strength that Akatsuki has shown so far is still nothing to Hina, she has a feeling that if she doesn't show her full strength soon, she will definitely lose.

"Isn't it a little too early to show no mercy now?"

Seeing the large number of red magic circles appearing behind Hina, Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
