Starting with the defeated female knight

Hey, don't cry. It's not your fault. Besides, this place is just like this. I should have expected this...

Green sighed.

Although he had long anticipated that such a savage miracle would likely not end well, especially since certain feelings made him realize that even if the child were to erupt, the final result would certainly not be good. Not only would it fail to burn down this cesspool, but it might even make things worse and the situation more foul.

But he never expected it to get this bad.

Okay, okay, don't be sad anymore.

The tentacle touched the blood-red child's head.

I know you work very hard, and I know you're incredibly talented; you're just not good at using your abilities effectively.

But that's okay, if you don't know how, I'll teach you.

Although Green doesn't know the Blood Miracle right now, isn't that a good opportunity to study it?

and......

Green looked the child up and down, and at the sea of ​​blood beneath him, and couldn't help but shake his head.

【Perfect, I'll take this opportunity to give you some practice so you won't get bullied when you go out】

Although the power within this child is terrifying and disgusting enough, it's the kind of power that could easily defeat several ancient gods.

The problem is, although things seem calm on the surface, who knows how many ancient gods are actually lurking around in the capital right now?

Even these swaying ancient gods are heavyweights among the ancient gods.

If they really go out as this child initially predicted, although they will definitely be able to give the capital a hard time, it will most likely only be one wave, and then they will be smashed to pieces, and then continue to annoy people in the form of fragments, but that's the most they can do, annoy people.

Green's remarks left the children completely bewildered.

Because she had personally witnessed Green gradually changing the capital, helping her eliminate her pain, and making the whole world a better place little by little.

But now, he says he wants to train her, even help her fight against the Empire...

【Well, then what? 】

The tentacles swayed gently.

You don't actually think that, given the current situation, I can just do something random and everyone will suddenly have an epiphany, clear up the misunderstanding, and then sit down together to make dumplings, right?

"There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Even if we don't talk about blood debts being repaid in blood or confronting the past, the current stench in the capital cannot be cleaned up by a single fire.

If the fire is big enough, it can indeed burn away the rotting flesh on the surface, but the deep-seated cognition and malice can continue to writhe in the ashes even after being burned to ashes.

If Green had some hesitation before, wondering if doing this was going too far, although Beijing is pretty bad, it doesn't seem like it's completely hopeless.

If the fire could be burned cleanly and efficiently, and the ashes could be used as nutrients to cultivate the seeds, and with the right methods employed, it might not be impossible to save the situation.

But after the rapid advancements in flesh and human modification technology, and especially after talking with Elise and confirming certain details, he changed his mind, or rather, complied.

"Four or five pages are hard to find, but one or two pages are everywhere."

"For ordinary nobles, if they can't even put together a full page of paper, they can be considered good people; if they can't even put together half a page, they can become pastors in church."

"And don't think that only nobles are like this."

"Nobles can do so much because they are truly capable. Others didn't do it, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't."

"Why do you think those people could say those things to you with such pride? It's because even they have quite a few supporters, and they're not nobles."

"Because they had received at least a basic education, the nobles generally opposed their behavior; otherwise, they wouldn't be so universally disliked."

"Those who truly support them the most are actually those of lower bloodlines."

"The reasons are numerous and complex. Some simply admire superior bloodlines, believing that being killed by nobles can elevate their own bloodline. Others seek benefits by serving as their lackeys, helping them lead the way to kill those who oppose them. Still others simply wait for them to finish killing, then take some meat back to eat, hoping it might even purify their bloodline..."

"And no matter how disgusting that group of people is, they are still a minority, and their time and energy are very limited."

"Even if you include the entire nobility, they don't have that much time or energy to pay attention to lower bloodlines."

"Even if you don't train in combat, you still need to have basic attire, social skills, and other things, right?"

“I don’t mean to excuse them, but the fact is that it’s never the higher bloodlines that are the most vicious, cruel, and harmful to those of lower bloodlines.”

"It's themselves."

Elise was telling the truth.

At least, it was the truth as she perceived it, without a trace of falsehood.

The corruption in the capital is not limited to a particular area or social class, but is all-encompassing, multi-faceted, comprehensive, and extremely profound.

This kind of decay cannot be completely burned off by a single fire.

It will definitely be effective, but after the new seeds sprout, those malicious seeds will also break through the soil and grow again. They may not form the current climate, but they will certainly be disgusting enough. They may even come back at some point when they have the opportunity.

Therefore, the existence of this child is necessary, and the more powerful and terrifying the child, the better.

The more powerful and terrifying she is, the more intense the trauma she causes, and the more effectively she can uncover the stench hidden deep within, exposing everything in a bloody and raw way to others, making them truly realize, or rather, forced to realize and confront, those ignored and buried problems and mistakes.

Because she is their past, she is their history, she is their mistake.

Because she is them.

Avoiding confrontation and procrastinating might prevent immediate bloodshed, but in the long run, the hidden dangers will eventually cause more harm and suffering.

Therefore, I will help you.

[This is not just for you, but also for them, and even for myself.]

As for the reason? I've put up with them for so long, can't I just cause them some trouble, have some fun, and make up for my emotional distress?

But blind revenge won't work. You're already a painful mess. If you follow your original plan, I can't say what will happen to the Empire, but you'll definitely hurt yourself.

So, let's calm things down for now.

The tentacles took the child's hand and together they slowly stepped into the blood-red ocean.

I'll teach you how to use your power, and I'll teach you how to take revenge without hurting yourself.

Don't worry, it won't take long.

Moreover, I sincerely hope that...

When that day finally comes...

You can become their deepest nightmare, bringing them the most extreme fear.

Gulu, Gulu.

The child and the tentacles sank into the sea of ​​blood, and the tide in Grace's eyes gradually calmed down.

After regaining her senses, she blinked and was about to say something when she suddenly felt the tentacles in her arms move.

Then, the covering fell off.

She instinctively closed her eyes tightly, but the touch gently caressed them.

Open your eyes.

After a moment of tension, she chose to trust the tentacles and slowly opened her eyes.

Her ruby-like eyes slowly opened, but this time, no tears of blood flowed.

Grace stood there, stunned.

She is no longer afraid of the light.

【No】

The tentacles gently extended and brushed across her face.

[You've finally stopped hurting yourself.]

P.S.: As usual, one chapter first. I'm going out for a bite to eat, I'll continue when I get back.

Book 1: Chapter 82: Green's Troubles

【well】

"What's wrong, Lord Green?"

It's nothing, just a bit感慨 (feeling a bit emotional) that I've become a god-like person myself.

At the same time, I also understand why there are so many ruthless jobs in the capital.

Because doing this kind of thing is fucking awesome!

After learning about the situation in the capital, can anyone really resist saying they don't want to turn the capital into a spinning top and give those geniuses a good beating?

The reason Green didn't do it before wasn't because he didn't want to, but because the branch base there was too small and weak to pull that super-sized spinning top.

But now, the opportunity is right in front of him.

So obedient and well-behaved, the compressed nuclear bomb, which could grow taller and larger when exposed to water, would run straight into his hands with just a little nurturing.

In fact, the nuclear bomb's favor towards him was so high that it was willing to offer him the miracle of blood, the very foundation of its existence. What does that mean?

Unlike the Church, as a consciousness born from a miracle of suffering, that blood-red child is truly just a child. Although a real fight would certainly be troublesome, her very nature dictates that she will have a fatal flaw.

That is, to directly erase her consciousness, which was born from the blood flower, and to control or dispose of Grace, who serves as the eyes and window.

That sea of ​​blood would be directly taken into his possession, becoming something only he knew and could use.

The Blood Miracle not only allows him to touch the sea of ​​blood, but also, through the guidance provided by the complete miracle, allows him to directly reach the core of the sea of ​​blood and touch the child's origin.

With just a gentle touch of his tentacle, her ripples would instantly dissipate. Coupled with Grace's affection for him, he didn't need to do anything extra; the sea of ​​blood would naturally become a plaything groveling at his feet, which he could manipulate and use however he pleased.

Perhaps this is exactly what the child was praying for.

After all, as a being born from a miracle of suffering, she doesn't need to be deliberately tormented; her very existence is a curse.

Finally, she met someone she could trust and understand, and finally saw a glimmer of hope to break the cycle of despair.

After her boiling desire for revenge gradually cooled, it's not incomprehensible that she, whose very existence was a source of suffering, wanted to offer him everything in exchange for her own peace of mind.

But Green refused.

The reason is also very simple.

Because it's not necessary.

Just kidding, with this child's current level of obedience to him, it's as if he needs to erase her consciousness before he can use this sea of ​​blood.

He was even certain that even if this sea of ​​blood were ignited now, he could extinguish it in an instant if he didn't want to.

After erasing his consciousness, he would have to slowly study and manage this place himself. It would be much easier to just hand it over to the child and let her do it herself.

The only problem is probably that this child is born with the attribute that existence itself is suffering.

But it's okay. If we wanted to guide her to use her power correctly, we had to find a way to eliminate this pain.

It was something that happened easily, so it wasn't particularly troublesome.

Especially when you think about how much of a difference you could make in the capital after you've properly adjusted and educated this child...

Green became even more motivated.

Moreover, even disregarding the child's influence, that sea of ​​blood wasn't really attractive to Green.

As for the reason?

Industrialization, tentacle technology, faith and prayer, magical reactions, ancient god technology, gray fog core, orc specialties, pollution technology...

He had so many cards in his hand that he could practically play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), so he didn't really need another Blood Sea.

Even if you throw this thing over to Dawn City, unless you can get some extra tentacles and manpower, this kind of thing that still needs to be sacrificed to perform is not even in the research priority.

However, despite the fact that everything was developing quite well, and even caravans from the capital had set off, Green was not without his troubles.

And it's a huge problem.

Is the pace of growth and technological advancement among this group a bit too slow?

Yes, although reason told him that this speed was already very fast, Green still felt that the growth of Dawn City and the improvement of the capital were too slow.
