Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

It represents greed in itself.

Ciel pointed at himself, then asked in confusion, "I think I'm okay. I'm not a greedy person, am I?"

"That depends on your...or Xiao Tan's definition of greed."

"You want to live happily with Doom, Mernadette, Diana, Theresa, Perozzi and the others. Don't you think your heart is greedy enough?"

If you think about it carefully, it's really greedy...

"Possessiveness in any area of ​​responsibility can be defined as greed... This is the power she controls."

"Under these limited conditions, do you still think you won't be affected? Do you still think you're not a greedy person?"

Ciel shook his head rapidly.

If we follow the other party's definition, no one in this world will not be affected.

From a certain perspective, extraordinary people are very terrifying beings.

The powers brought by different extraordinary characteristics find different development directions, which will burst out into many distorted forces.

If greed, a power that inherently carries the attribute of "twist", meets some qualified people, who knows what strange changes will occur.

"You guys are truly magical..." Charles said with some emotion.

The Twelve Cities of the Astral Realm, the Twelve Cities ruled by Pandora, Ciel had not fully experienced them.

But whether it is the City of Knowledge, the City of Gluttony, the Sea of ​​Desire, or the Valley of Existence, they are all very magical places in his eyes.

These places are both the manifestation of rules and the reflection of their inner thoughts.

The fact that a person can create so many different clones with different personalities is, in a sense, a very unique ability.

After all, for Ciel now, he could create countless clones with his own soul, or even clones with souls that carried certain of his own thoughts. But compared to Pandora, who had an almost complete soul but each soul had a completely different personality, it was still a little different.

"This kind of magic is probably the last thing we need."

To everyone, Pandoras are powerful, untouchable and enviable beings.

The power that one person controls is equivalent to thirteen true gods, and everyone who knows of her existence will envy her.

After all, for extraordinary people, the stronger the power they control, the more satisfaction and security they can bring...

But to Pandora herself, this power was nothing special.

In other words, for many Pandors, the city lords of the star realm, this power is often a curse.

In the beginning, when they accepted this power, their personalities were completely different from what they are now...

But now there are very few people who are the same as she was before...even she herself has been greatly affected.

Pandora closed her eyes and stopped thinking about the things that bothered her.

Charles was about to say something, but his body suddenly stopped.

Then his sight slowly crossed the star realm and arrived at the main world.

The city was dyed red with blood. A figure stood upright in the center of the city and then slowly fell down.

Floyds....has lost all breath of life.

-

Chapter 306 Chapter 186 This is outrageous

Why should we live?

Floyds had asked himself countless times, but he could not find the reason why he was alive.

Until one day, he found the answer.

For a ray of light, a ray of light in your heart.

There was no trace of life in the city anymore, and his body began to slowly fall downwards.

A pair of hands supported him.

Then he slowly helped him sit on a bloody chair.

"You have a chance to survive." A familiar voice echoed in his ears.

Floyd's mind was still confused, but then he seemed to realize who the owner of the voice was.

The last trace of attachment to this world on his face slowly faded away.

"Mernadette...Mernadette..."

He murmured...

After seeing the figure appear in front of him and hearing his voice, Floyd knew he should leave.

Even without me, she still has someone to protect her.

Three days ago, Fort Nassen, Kingdom of York.

Mernadè, Floyd, Antilia and a new member of the mutual aid society came to the city by train.

Compared with its glorious past, this place now looks like it is in decline.

In the city, there are very few people on the streets. The whole city has fallen into silence, only occasionally some screams and roars can be heard from some places.

"Sure enough... This place feels the most uncomfortable. The breath of life is far too scarce compared to ordinary cities."

"Perhaps this is really the starting point of the changes in the Kingdom of York." Badanton's eyes became extremely dark, and his gaze scanned the surroundings of the city.

He was a recent member of the Yorkshire Farmers and Workers' Mutual Aid Union in Mernade.

He was also the first extraordinary person to truly join the association after its formal establishment. Unlike Floys and Antilia, he was a rare person who truly agreed with Mernadette's ideas.

His path to transcendence wasn't part of the mainstream world, but rather an unexpected inheritance from a distant family, a family somewhat similar to the Peroz family, though their legacy was vastly different from that of the Krolov family. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Badanton's transcendental path would have been practically forbidden.

It was for this reason that he wanted to do more meaningful things in his limited life, and was eventually moved by Mernadè.

"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. This place might have a lot to do with the incident, but that doesn't mean it's the root cause."

"There are six printing factories in the kingdom, and this one is the smallest." Antilia analyzed while sensing the greedy atmosphere emanating from the surroundings.

"Besides, the printing factory here is currently controlled by the royal family of the Kingdom of York. The changes in the kingdom this time were caused by those outsiders. It's unlikely that the royal family was responsible for this."

Not long after Charles left, new changes occurred in the Kingdom of York.

A disease called greed has spread throughout this country.

First, the poor lined up in front of welfare institutions, then the civilians who gradually gave up their jobs, then the middle class, and finally even the upper class was affected.

Everyone tries their best to seize wealth that does not belong to them, showing the greatest greed in their hearts.

Mernadè's unconscious power cannot completely eliminate this desire that originates from human beings themselves, and can only protect a small number of people from being affected.

At first, she didn't realize that something was wrong with the country.

It was not until four days ago that she realized something after the reserve fund she had deposited in the welfare home for the development of the mutual aid society was taken away by a member of the mutual aid society.

But it was obviously too late by then.

It was then that she discovered that there was a red light in the eyes of everyone in Moroston, and everyone had only one thing in mind - to try their best to get more money, or to try their best to possess more wealth that did not belong to them.

Theft, robbery, killing... gradually became the tone of the kingdom.

Even some low-level and mid-level transcendents were influenced and joined in.

"The royal family...if it were before, they really would not have done such a thing. After all, before the miracle, the Kingdom of York belonged to the York family, but now the country does not belong to them." Badington said as he glanced at Floyds, who had been silent all the time.

"There are many lunatics in this world, many willing to kill for their own selfish desires. Who knows what crazy things the York family will do to regain their rights."

Badenton's eyes lingered on Floyds.

His hostility was almost uncontrollable. But in the end, he took a few deep breaths and turned his gaze to the side.

Badanton is an extraordinary person of commoner origin. Although his family background is better than Mernadette's, his strength is limited. In addition, he is in the passionate period of youth, so he can put himself in other people's shoes, understand and agree with the ideas compiled by Mernadette, and is willing to give his life for it.

but..

Even if he was willing to sacrifice his life for his ideals, he could not completely eliminate his prejudice against Floys...

No, it can't be called bias. Because he did do a lot of things, and Badington's perception is not biased.

He couldn't understand why an evil guy like Floys existed in such a pure and great organization?

Turn over a new leaf?

A new life?

Badington didn't believe a madman could be reformed.

He had wanted to make things clear countless times, wanted to kick Floyd out of the association, and even wanted to tell Mernade what kind of infuriating things Floyd had done.

But in the end he didn't choose to do that.

On the one hand, he clearly knew how weak the current mutual assistance was and needed Floyd's strength.

On the other hand, like Floyd, he couldn't bear to see Mernadè embarrassed and sad.

He is very conflicted.

He sincerely hoped that Floyd would really change himself because of Mernadette, but at the same time, his inner sense of justice told him that even if Floyd changed himself, the sins he committed in the past could not be made up for.

Some things cannot be forgiven by just apologizing and admitting mistakes.

"Money is used as a medium to arouse people's inner greed and then make them completely indulge in this desire."

"What is their purpose in doing this?"

"Destroy this country, or want to lure out that god?" Antilia seemed unaware of Badanton's hostility towards Floys, and spoke while looking at the frowning Mernade.

"It's for...power." Mernadette said seriously.

"Sif performed a divination... She told me that all this is for power, and that this is the root of everything."

Badanton, Antilia, and Floys, who had been silent, all had a hint of helplessness on their faces.

They also knew Sif Leopold because of Mernadè.

Just a Sequence 9 astrologer...

How could what she saw be real?

Several people would rather believe that all this was the other party's reasoning rather than what she saw with her ability.

After all, this incident affected the entire kingdom. At this time, there were more than three digits of high-level extraordinary people in the Kingdom of York, and there were many high-level extraordinary people with predictive abilities.

They couldn't see the beginning of this incident. A mere Sequence 9?

If it weren't for their respect for Mernadette, they would never have followed her here.

After all, in their opinion, the root of this incident was more likely to be in Moroston rather than Fort Nason.

Facing the gazes of several people, Mernadè felt a little distressed.

"My brother told me that after he left, I could ask Sif for anything I wanted to know." Mernadette muttered softly.

Her words were once again ignored.

Badanton even stretched out his hands weakly to grab his hair.

To be honest, if Badanton didn't feel that it was too dangerous for Floys to follow Mernade, he really didn't want to come to Nason Castle with her.

After all, coming here at the behest of a Sequence 9 astrologer was already outrageous enough, but even more outrageous was that Mernadè chose to believe him. Most outrageous of all, the reason she chose to believe him was because of the words of a Sequence 9 farmer...

Badanton felt melancholy, then sighed.

This is fine.

At least compared to Moroston, which is about to fall into complete chaos, there shouldn't be too much chaos in Nasonburg, or the remaining population and the number of extraordinary people here will not allow anything too dangerous to happen here.

In this way, Mernadè's safety is guaranteed.

However, he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

Can things really be as he thinks?

At the same time, he also felt some self-blame.

Although he had vowed to burn his life for more meaningful things, he began to worry and even retreat when facing real danger.

"I'll go to the printing factory first." Floyds broke the silent atmosphere and spoke.
