The Strange Adventures of Hearn the Believer

But as for me, Aoko-neechan, I'm definitely not the kind of person who can easily say things like that.

The nature of fairy tales dictates that they differ from reality to some extent; they can clearly distinguish between good and evil, and they can also clearly praise or criticize certain people.

But reality is different; reality is often difficult to summarize and describe using the terms "good" and "evil."

Animals always tend to gloss over the parts of reality that are unfavorable to them, whether intentionally or unintentionally, in order to protect their own interests and dignity.

Therefore, before the true intentions of the "animals" can be confirmed, and before the source of those rumors can be identified, the older sister does not approve of the big monster believing any of the "animals".

Although the older sister was unaware of the monster's predicament, if she felt that the road ahead was bleak and she couldn't decide what she would become in the future, she should at least have complete control over her own changes.

Sometimes my sister also finds it strange that people don't do what they think is normal, since maintaining one's individuality is such a normal thing.

If having complete control over one's body, one's own crying and laughing, and one's own changes is the only freedom one has when trapped in a thicket of thorns, then why should one easily change oneself because of rumors and gossip?

The good and evil of "animals" should be judged by their actions, not by hypocritical one-sided statements.

So my sister wouldn't believe the safety rules on those notes, even though they were soaked and covered in blood.

The older sister will only believe the giant monster she first encountered here, which has been helping her escape the maze along the way, rather than the "animals" who are making desperate and tearful accusations.

However, eradicating evil deep in the forest is the work of the great monsters themselves, and should absolutely not be delegated to the big birds, tall birds, or small birds.

You cannot shirk responsibility, even if it means suffering.

We cannot escape reality; we must face it squarely.

Even in the darkest night, you can occasionally see stars.

Surely, some precious treasures must have been left behind during the long journey through the thorns.

The big bird bore the pain and loneliness.

Takato bore the brunt of infamy and injustice.

The little bird lost its life and its future.

Regardless of which bird survives in the end, and regardless of which bird eventually transforms back into the giant monster.

Having survived, will He be able to inherit the three little birds' legacy with a clear conscience when everything comes to an end?

That kind of thing, after all, is still impossible to do, right?

Because the great bird's treasure only recognizes the great bird.

Therefore, the giant monster will not try to steal the giant bird's treasure;

Because Takabird's treasure only recognizes Takabird.

Therefore, the giant monster will not try to steal Takagi's treasure;

Because the little bird's treasure only recognizes the little bird.

Therefore, the big monster will not steal the little bird's treasure;

Because the giant monster is actually a kind and good child, even though its talent is actually [plunder].

But if that's the case, wouldn't the giant monster end up with nothing?

Despite ultimately bearing the brunt of all the evil consequences, the giant monster could only wander alone in the desolate Black Forest.

This result is very unfair, isn't it?

So don't even think about hiding behind the scenes and playing puppet games from the very beginning.

My sister hates puppeteers who work behind the scenes the most.

We must walk out of the curtain with our heads held high and complete the performance with dignity.

It doesn't matter if I'm the only audience member.

In this way, one can face their life with a clear conscience after the curtain falls.

It's a bit far, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, Aoko went to dismantle those three dog cafes and also lured away those three annoying golden retrievers.

Little Xinnu, hurry up and slip away from here, your sister will catch up with you soon.

Don't worry, Aoko-neechan doesn't have any other strengths, except that she's very good at "destruction".

Besides, didn't we make a promise? Those who break their promises will be sliced ​​into eight hundred million pieces…

"..."

calm……

Stay calm... Believer Hearn...

There is only one thing you need to do, and that is to take revenge.

Gaia's tentacles are obstacles you must bypass.

Contact with that kind of thing means the game is over, understand?

Do you understand what "gameover" means?

Leaving the bottom of the lake now is pointless, because it's not time to confront the old witch yet.

All you have to do is go back to the bottom of the abyss and continue to lie low, just like back then, when you hid in the closet and quietly watched those monsters break into your house and take your mother away.

Don't you want to avenge your mother anymore?

Now, don't think about anything, and don't go back to the Black Forest. Just take one step forward...

All you have to do is walk down the steps leading to your cell...

Go to sleep, have another nap, and tomorrow morning, everything on this land will return to normal.

That woman courted death; she didn't need to get involved with you... She just...

He's just an arrogant and treacherous outsider...

She's just a foolish woman who doesn't know the truth, which is why she smiled at you...

She's just a woman who happens to have a scent that you miss...

She's just a sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, hopelessly kind-hearted person...

It was just a warm, radiant, blue sun...

It's no big deal...

Therefore, it's important to keep cool...

boom!

The earth-shaking explosion echoed through the lakebed, as if etheric turbulence was raging in an endless labyrinthine corridor.

The great source of magic power, which should have been depleted by the azure silver ocean, instantly filled the entire underwater labyrinth.

An endless stream of ether was released from the Sea of ​​Time, solely to transform this place into a suitable battleground for that witch.

The believer took a deep breath, and in an instant, all the light vanished, leaving only darkness.

Without warning, he threw a punch to the right, and a hidden water tiger flew backward, crashing into the corridor wall and exploding into a cloud of blood mist.

That branch, which was originally the largest among the kappa, had now turned into a puddle of minced meat.

Then, dark golden rivers carrying eyeballs surged from the walls on all sides, chewing and swallowing flesh and blood.

Countless tributaries surged in from all directions, carrying all sorts of dismembered limbs and corpses, eventually converging into a horrifying mountain of corpses.

The mountain of corpses eventually flowed into the sea, and the massive energy conversion system that fed on living and dead began to operate, releasing a continuous stream of ether from the blood spirits.

The labyrinthine corridors have long since vanished, and the endless ocean has reappeared in the mortal world, its silvery surface reflecting the glittering Milky Way.

A moment later, a colossal shadow, obscuring the sky, descended from the brilliant Milky Way.

When the world is filled with sin, that bird feared by all will descend upon it...

Chapter 139 The Cyan Hero (Part 10)

Looking back, it was indeed a completely illogical scene.

A labyrinth at the bottom of the lake where a hundred demons roam at night.

An underwater library that no one visits.

The Dark Forest contains only one fairy tale.

And here we are, a dog cafe brimming with holiday vibes.

The store features a creamy white decor, a whimsical signboard, and Christmas toys scattered throughout.

Above the sign, to the right of "Coffee Shop," is a photo of an adorable golden retriever.

With its visibly smooth golden fur, glowing golden eyes that radiate rationality, and its retracted sharp teeth and claws, it is an elegant golden beast.

Indeed, it looked more like a golden wolf than a large golden retriever.

pain.

The pain felt as if all the blood flowing through my limbs and bones was burning.

Just by gazing at that golden phantom, Aoko felt a phantom pain inexplicably surface in her mind.

That is the lingering pain buried deep in memory.

A painful memory of a bloody lesson.

So that's how it is. I must have been defeated by that thing at some time, in some place, and in some event.

With such感慨 and realization, Aoko pressed the final trigger.

The processing of the secret runes was already complete, and the focused magic cannon radiated out from the right hand as the base point.

In the distance, the roar of explosions echoed through the chain of businesses, and the dog cafe flagship store in front of us will soon follow suit.

It should be so.

In the final moments before the azure etheric current destroyed the coffee shop, an ancient roar rose melodiously from the darkness, and a golden meteor streaked from the depths of the shop.

The first strike destroyed the Etherstream.

The second step disintegrated several secret patterns.

The third path will grant the most equal death to those pathetic mortals who attempt to use magic to fight against the divine life.

"?"

The body was pulled from behind, and the expected pain did not occur.

The moment the magic base formed by the secret runes was destroyed, Aoko's consciousness prepared for the pain even before her body did.

At the instant the golden meteors collided, the air in the corridor seemed to freeze. The collision produced a deep, muffled thud, a sound that could not be produced by the collision of a fragile human body with a meteor from the Age of Gods.

It should have been a more understated sound, like the lingering echo of silk being easily torn, accompanied by the sticky timbre of entrails slipping out.

No, there was indeed a similar sound in Yu Qingzi's hearing.

sizzle ————

It evokes the unpleasant sound of strong acid accidentally spilling and corroding flesh during a chemistry class.

After the dull impact, that was the only note that blossomed in the silent corridor, lingering on and on.

"!"

It didn't take a long time; everything happened in the blink of an eye.

After her consciousness broke free from the pain defenses and returned to her true self, Aoko opened her eyes.

Dark gold, multiple eyes were watching her from all directions.

That was the unknown thing that Aoko had forced herself to give up on looking back and investigating along the way.

That was the thing that Aoko had been following after leaving the Black Forest wearing the headband.

That was precisely what Aoko's rationality, driven by self-preservation, compelled her to absolutely not turn around and look at, no matter how shrill the wails or how gruesome the chewing sounds, unless absolutely necessary.

The dark gold river arrived first, followed by the golden meteor.

Before the golden wolf could tear the magician's body apart, the dark gold river enveloped her and pulled her backward.

The third meteor finally struck the turbulent defensive barrier. After the deep, muffled thud of the massive objects grappling, the same unclean, corrosive sound that had been heard earlier arose.

sizzle ————

It wasn't just Aoko who was being pulled and carried towards the depths of the lake-bottom corridor; the nearest golden beast was also being dragged along.
