Is this okay?

“I was going to go find Ratahn anyway.”

"I see. If that's the case, you can contact Blazer; he'll help you."

"I see."

Leng Mo nodded to indicate that he understood.

At that moment, Lani suddenly turned to look at Melina, but without saying anything, she disappeared from the spot. After seeing Lani leave, Melina also quietly disappeared.

Chapter 323 The Emperor is Me, Strange Cold!

Outside the library, Lani sat on the railing waiting for Melina.

After Melina appeared, Lani finally spoke, "Will the person Toret chose... accomplish what you've set out to do?"

"It's easy for him, but he's still investigating something else. Once that's done, everything will speed things up and it'll be over soon."

Melina said gently, a sense of relief on her face, as if her long fate was about to end.

"Easy? That's good. I hope he can help me." Lani looked at Melina earnestly.

“I also hope he can help me.”

What is he investigating?

"The recently emerged Faded Ones are not ordinary Faded Ones; they are people from another world."

"Another world? That's surprising. How did you know?"

"Because of a little accident, I went to another world with him." Melina found it a little difficult to talk about this.

“I’m curious what a world without the Golden Law would be like,” Lani asked, oblivious to Melina’s embarrassment.

"It was very peaceful and gentle. People had a lot of emotions. I only saw some details and don't know what the other aspects were like."

"Don't you have any thoughts when you see another world?"

"I will definitely complete my mission, and no one can stop me."

"..."

Lani remained silent, said nothing, and left directly.

Melina didn't say anything, just watched Lani leave, then put on her hood and prepared to go.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a hand was placed on her back.

This situation startled her so much that she screamed.

"who!"

"Hehehe, now you understand how I felt back then!"

Melina turned around and saw Leng Mo. She immediately felt weak and powerless. This was definitely intentional.

"You heard everything?" Melina asked gently, having caught her breath.

“Even if you didn’t hear it, you know why I know.” Leng Mo didn’t hide anything and said directly.

Melina, somewhat excited and eager, asked, "I've finished?"

“80% is complete,” Leng Mo said after a moment’s thought.

"What do you mean?"

"More people choose to go to Three-Finger Mad Fire to help you burn the tree."

“Damage Fire… Three Fingers… Why? If I hadn’t run into you, I definitely wouldn’t have said a word…”

"Who cares about you? We never think about anything. Demise is unacceptable to us, so we must find the perfect solution and create a world where only the villains are hurt. Even if you don't say anything, you've overlooked one thing: the companionship along the way, even the smallest touch, is sometimes the warmest thing."

Leng Mo felt a little emotional. It was like the Fire Keeper and Ash. Although the Fire Keeper did everything, Ash would always find comfort in her presence after each failure.

Even if the Fire Keeper isn't gentle and doesn't like ashes, that doesn't matter. What matters is that a weary heart needs someone to comfort it, and that's enough.

"..." Melina paused slightly, a bitter smile filled with emotion.

"What are your plans now? Are you still going to burn it?" Leng Mo looked at Melina with a serious expression.

“That’s right, I will burn down the Golden Tree. I’m sure of that, please don’t stop me. I went to the other world with you before, and I understand even more that the Golden Tree is a constraint on the world. As long as the Golden Tree is gone, everything will naturally continue to develop, and there will be no more gods.”

Melina looked intently at Leng Mo in front of her, believing that if Leng Mo wanted to, everything could be accomplished.

"It's just a mere golden tree, nothing to worry about. You'd be better off thinking about what to do next," Leng Mo said casually.

"What do you mean?" Melina asked, puzzled.

“If you burn the golden tree, new golden trees will grow. You know how many small golden trees there are at the border. There’s a monster behind the biggest golden tree.”

"What do you mean? Monster?"

"The Beast of Elden became the final enemy of the King of Elden. I know that back then, Marika... or rather, Rdagan smashed the Elden Ring. Although no one knows what her purpose was, the shattering of the ring caused the entire borderland to spiral out of control, and the War of the Fragments broke out. After that, the various demigods and gods began to fight for control, which shattered the entire borderland."

"Yes, indeed."

Melina was full of affirmation for Leng Mo's description.

"So here's the question: why did Rdagan want to smash the Ring of Law? You say there's no possibility that this was a conspiracy against the Golden Tree from the very beginning? That Rdagan was an undercover agent of the Ravens from the start, whose purpose was to destroy the Ring of Law at some point, cause a war of fragments, and then use this to free the Borderlands from the Ring of Law so that they could fight the Golden Tree?"

"..."

"Because Radagan knew from the beginning that the people of the Borderlands had no way to destroy the Golden Tree, and even if they could destroy the Golden Tree, they couldn't destroy the monster behind it. So... they shattered the Magic Ring, causing the Faded Ones outside the Borderlands to keep appearing, all so that one day they could finally eliminate the monster behind the Golden Tree?"

"I didn't know." Melina looked at Leng Mo with surprise.

"So what is your purpose in going to the Golden Tree?"

"This is my destiny, the faded one. This is my choice."

"But I don't want to!"

"why?"

"This is not the outcome I wanted."

"..."

"What I want is an ordinary world. A little magic and miracles would be nice, but at least it has to be a normal thing for me. Swords and magic are fine, a technological society is fine too. It doesn't matter. At least there has to be a sense of a promising future."

Leng Mo gazed at Melina with unwavering certainty, his eyes brimming with boundless greed.

The world needs it, and the future is promising too!

We all have a bright future!

Do what you can to achieve what you want and accomplish it to reach a perfect ending.

"Is this really possible? Such a greedy ending?" Melina was shocked. She never expected that Leng Mo, who seemed unreliable and even despicable on the surface, would harbor such a greedy desire deep in his heart.

"Nothing is impossible; anything is possible if I set my mind to it. I still have some trump cards up my sleeve; if all else fails, I'll just flip the table!"

Leng Mo smiled crookedly, exuding a confident air, as if declaring, "I am the emperor, strange cold!"

"Then I..."

"You don't need to do anything, just follow me and give me a push at the most crucial moment, that's all."

“I understand, fading... Amo.”

Melina smiled and looked at Leng Mo, intending to see what kind of world Leng Mo would bring.

No matter the outcome, it will be better than it is now, and that's enough.

Chapter 324 The enemy is using weapons of mass destruction!

After understanding Leng Mo's realization, Melina decided to see what kind of ending Leng Mo would bring, filled with an unprecedented sense of anticipation.

On the other side, there is a cave for seeking knowledge.

Tatsumi and Kaneki Ken stared at the fighter jet in front of them with excitement, their faces filled with unprecedented shock.

When has a fighter jet ever appeared in front of me?

"Wow! Amazing! What is that! A fighter jet? A real fighter jet!?"

Tatsumi was so excited to see the fighter jet that he jumped for joy. He had never seen such a thing before, and after joining the forum, he had only heard of it but had never actually seen one.

Seeing the actual product now is incredibly exciting; I'm even itching to try it out.

Kaneki also took a deep breath, his face full of excitement.

"Kaneki! Let's go up and take a look!"

"Let's go!!"

The two jumped onto the plane instantly, their faces full of anticipation, and began operating it. Although they didn't quite understand it, it didn't matter! As ultimate beings, they could just do their best to create something amazing.

However, Xiao Yuan, who happened to be passing by, saw the airport runway and happily marked it with a checkmark in her notebook.

"Hehehe, the power of unity is indeed boundless! The airport was taken care of in just two days. Excellent, Stoneville City is now ours. Let's advance towards the academy!"

After saying this, Senior Xiaoyuan took out a map and began to draw a route on it.

Charge from Stoneville City all the way to the academy gates, and then seize the entire academy territory. This way, you can take over the royal city of Kalia.

Finally, there's Ratahn of the Crimson Lands. After defeating him, our side will have occupied half of the border region.

only……

"There are still too many mixed colors."

With a frown, Senior Xiaoyuan uttered the declaration of a war criminal player, then looked with a frown at the empty Elden Golden Tree area.

But it doesn't matter!

As long as your speed of advancement is fast enough, then everything else is not a problem!

"Yosh! Charge, assault team—!"

At Xiaoyuan's command, the first assault brigade immediately began their charge. As the first-choice assault brigade, their minds were focused solely on charging; nothing else mattered but charging.

The swamp pool was instantly filled with the sounds of fierce fighting.

"Come on—!"

"Lobster! Charge—!"

"An NPC! Charge... We can't charge this way, logistics take the NPC away! Charge—!"

"Ula——!"

"Waaaaaaaagh—!"

"Hmph! Hmph! Hmph ahhhhhh!"

Da da da da da…

For a time, shouts, gunfire, and engine hum filled the swamp.

blah blah blah...

After the first wave of attack, the second wave of attack immediately began, and the tank brigade crushed everything in its path as it charged toward the academy.

While hiding in a corner, the snake woman Lavie, though unaware of what was happening, was so frightened by the situation that she immediately turned and ran. She decided to forget about her necklace for now, as it was simply too terrifying.

In an instant, the entire swamp pool was swallowed up by a dark torrent of steel. Before Black and White could even react, the giant lobster had become sashimi, and the giant squid next to it had become a meal.

After all, we're all Japanese gamers, so eating raw seafood is a natural fit for us.

In an instant, the players went berserk like a mob, scattering ruins, eating lobsters and squid, smashing even the boundary markers, and even snapping off passing mosquitoes!

Just when the players were having a great time...

"Roar--!"

A dragon's roar descended from the sky, and the enormous Radiant Stone Dragon slammed heavily into the ground. The massive tremor stirred up a cloud of mud and water, instantly drenching the surrounding players, and then...

"Ah—! I'm bleeding all over the floor!"

"Damn it! It's one of our own! They're attacking one of our own!"

"Medic! Medic, you fucking get over here!"

"Ah! I'm going to die!!"

Players dozens of meters away from the Shining Stone Dragon all collapsed to the ground, letting out screams with their mouths open and eyes closed, sensing that their lives were about to end.

Pyroxene: ?
