Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 4001 Useless Stupid Bird

Little Sirocco watched the extremely arrogant bird with great interest. It was clearly just a bird, but it walked like a human.

Lightweight birds usually hop when they walk, while heavier birds walk and stop, and in different directions. But this arrogant bird in front of us walks quickly and steadily with a fixed frequency, which is a bit strange.

Moreover, normal birds fight by pecking with their beaks, scratching with their claws, flapping with their wings, and using every part of their body as a weapon... But the way it chased away the three-headed dodo was by raising its claws and kicking it, kicking it a long way away in one go.

Claws are certainly a usable weapon, but that action is too human-like.

“Every feather of yours is imbued with magic, and your eyes possess a wisdom that transcends that of ordinary birds. You should be able to transform into a human, or at the very least, a spirit bird that understands human nature,” Little Sirocco said.

She was staring at Roble, and Roble was staring at Little Sirocco.

Robert was dozing in his nest in the tree when he woke up and suddenly saw many identical Hilders playing games with Akko. Robert wondered if he was seeing things and couldn't help but come over to see what was going on.

Is it some kind of clone technique? Hilder is really something.

"Hiss, this child who looks so young has a kind of unfathomable depth that I find even more terrifying than facing the Demon King." Roble muttered to herself, completely unable to fathom the other's true nature, shrouded in mystery.

It now seems that the environment in the Demon Realm is far more dangerous than that in the God Realm.

A while later, Akko came out and sat next to Little Sirocco, sharing a bag of maltose sesame sticks with her. Pointing at Roble, she said:
"This bird is ferocious. It has beaten up almost every bird in Brooklyn, from three-headed dodos to blackfire crows. Basically, any bird monster with a name has been beaten up by it."

"Does Akko consider me a friend of the same age?" Little Sirocco muttered, then nodded his chin and said in a childish voice:
"I could tell at first glance that this bird was quite capable."

Then, Akko told Little Sirocco that there were actually two birds in the Demon Realm that hadn't been beaten up yet, and that Robert couldn't do anything about them.

One is Aunt Sulfana from the Gale Zone, and the other is Aunt Katie's contracted summon, the spirit bird Bordeaux, who possesses spatial talent.

Akko continued, "Although its feathers are very beautiful, it is actually female."

Listening to their discussion, Roble stared at the two little girls' smooth and lovely faces for a while. After roughly figuring out what was going on, she swaggered out of the courtyard, kicking aside anything that blocked her way, whether it was a bird or any other animal. She was determined to walk in a straight line, and no one could persuade her otherwise.

Katie's Bordeaux wasn't that she couldn't beat it, it was just that she couldn't keep up with its speed. Then there was Sulfana, whom she had competed against, and she was slightly inferior... Roble attributed the reason to the fact that she wasn't in her peak condition yet.

She still maintains her bird-like form, not because she lacks the magic to transform—Night Forest has given her enough to maintain her human appearance—but because she believes that staying by Akko's side helps her use the child's dazzling destiny to repair her own backlashed fate and carefully mend her losses beyond her current level.

In the battle of the divine realm, her essence was almost destroyed, and her condition was greatly damaged, turning her into a crippled bird. Without the blessing of a fortuitous opportunity, it would be difficult for her to make a comeback. Otherwise, given her proud and arrogant personality, why would she obediently play the role of a peacock next to a child?

Of course, she didn't dare to devour Akko's fate at all; she simply stayed obediently by his side, slowly accepting the edge of fate's influence.

If she had even the slightest interest in Akko, Herder would hang her up and roast her.

Another reason she had to maintain her bird-like posture was that Hilder didn't like having a large-breasted older woman from outside taking care of Akko, since she already had Dirigen as her housekeeper.

Moreover, her ability to take care of people is really not very good.

Ye Lin arrived at Moller Valley. He knew that groups of Sirocco were causing trouble for Hilder. The Queen had evolved multiple times and had two great pleasures in her life after becoming a god. One was to go to Heaven to exchange ideas with the Tree of Heaven, who was also a god, but she was often avoided. The other was to try to cause trouble for Hilder and annoy her. Finally, when she had nothing to do, she would go to him to make juice.

Then Yuena, Imiwu, and Youxia returned to Bolonx's Dark Mansion.

As Roble walked with his head held high, deep in thought, he suddenly noticed someone lifting his wing from behind. Enraged, he struggled violently. Who dared to touch his feathers? Did they have a death wish? Do they know who I am? Believe me, I'll rip your skull off with my claws.

"Roble, have you gained a few pounds?" Ye Lin lifted Roble by its largest pair of wings like he was grabbing a goose, weighed it in his hands, and felt that it was plumper than before.

He had heard about the bird's bad habits; it was already a notorious bully among birds in the Demon Realm. If it weren't for Sulfana keeping it in check, this guy would probably have built his nest all the way to the highest peak of Mount Koretkiel, the place where the Apostle Prey used to be.

Ancient Terra, original site.

Rizz, the street hustler, was in a holy, holy state. She was still wearing a traditional mage uniform that wasn't particularly fashionable, but it accentuated her exceptionally outstanding figure. Thanks to her figure and appearance, her originally simple style of dress was completely transformed, giving her a unique and mature charm. Her eyes were filled with a sun-like brilliance as she surveyed the star field that had been ravaged by the divine war.

Niwu, the pattern maker, felt a little envious. People with good figures and beautiful faces can make even the simplest clothes look elegant and show off their extraordinary taste, which is exactly what you'd expect from a seller.

If you don't have a good natural foundation, no matter how beautiful the style or how expensive the clothes are, some people will still say that you're just putting a green onion in a pig's nose and trying to look like an elephant.

Then, Niwu's inner thoughts can be summarized as follows: Rizz is very beautiful, has a good figure, and is stunningly beautiful, but her taste in clothing is extremely ordinary, or to put it bluntly, she has no taste at all.

In Niwu's memory, Ritz had hardly ever changed his clothes; he always wore the same dark green and black magician uniform with some gold decorations, but no other bright colors.

Riz, unaware of Niwu's distraction, pondered and said:

"This star field has been destroyed, it's been completely ruined, and the elemental power here seems to have died."

"However, from the perspective of a transcendent being, one can see some traces of the past, with the laws of the gods flowing in the distance, but they are covered with a layer of dust, making them very ancient and weathered."

“I always felt that there was a secret hidden here, which is why I came all the way here. But we have been wandering around here for half a month without any results. Is it because we have gone in the wrong direction, or is our understanding not deep enough?”

Niwu snapped out of her daze and agreed with her, saying that she felt the same way. Finally, she said, "Why don't you ask my senior brother to come over? Maybe he can see something. You seem quite troubled."

The inability to access the truth must be extremely painful, especially for an eternal holy spirit like Ritz.

She naively believed that entering a state of spiritual enlightenment would allow her to see all the secrets of the world and that all the truths would be fully revealed before her eyes.

However, as Ritz's realm deepened, she discovered that reality was not as easy as she had imagined. On the contrary, the higher she stood, the more confused she became. The forbidden realm was like a sky full of stars, and she could only glimpse a tiny corner of its brilliance and truth.

For those who thirst for knowledge, this feeling is not pleasant.

Ritz remained expressionless, her eyes bright and alert. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Not for now. I'm troubled, but I also enjoy the process of uncovering the secret."

Suddenly, the two of them changed their expressions and turned to look at a certain spot in the starry sky. A fiery red meteor was hurtling towards them at high speed. The blazing flames were like a sun. As it approached the two of them, the terrifying flames all shrank and transformed into the figure of Rossello.

“Ritz, Niwu, you really are here.” Rossello greeted them and then explained why he had come.

After the twelve artificial gods sensed the gaze of the Great Will, one of the wise beings left behind his complete legacy on several nearby planets. It might be a memory or a stone tablet containing all the secrets of the stars.

"The legacy of an artificial god? There's actually such a thing." Rize murmured in surprise, then looked around at the starry universe. The original site of Ancient Terra was now a dark void. What was shattered back then was not just Terra, but an entire star field.

Niwu said, "In terms of space and elements, Ancient Terra is already a void. In terms of time, the era of the War of the Gods cannot be traced back, and even the gods cannot easily approach it. Only a handful of beings can return to that time."

The planets that Rossello was looking for were gone, and even the sun that shone on Terra had disappeared. It's not hard to imagine that they were all destroyed in that unprecedented war of the gods, and the complete secrets of the stars seemed to have been completely lost.

“The fact that the leader sent me here proves that the Starry Sky Secret Technique must still exist intact,” Rossello said with great confidence.

Although his leader was always a hands-off manager, leisurely and not doing any serious work, Rossello never doubted his leader's abilities. He worshipped his leader, believing him to be omniscient and omnipotent. He said that the Starry Sky Secret Technique must exist, since his leader did not stop him.

After a thought flashed through his mind, Rossello turned his gaze to Rize with interest, because this beautiful and voluptuous Eternal Holy Spirit really resembled his leader.

For example, Wu Xuan, a top-tier power, now manages all kinds of work, big and small. However, all the major powers in the Demon Realm know that the true leader has always been Ye Lin, and it has never changed.

Then the current leader of Taracuta is the Void Mage Ron. Similarly, all the demons in the world know that the powerful returnee Rizz should be the leader of Taracuta.

Not only is it because Rize is stronger and can maintain the Holy Spirit state that mages dream of forever, but more importantly, Taracuta is an elementalist organization, while Void Mage Ron is a dark mage, and Rize is the proud master of all attributes.

Then there's Ritz, a street urchin, and Ye Lin, who doesn't stay put in Wu Xuan. So, based on these two aspects of compatibility, Rossello believes that Ritz and his leader are a perfect match, a perfect pair.

If Rosello were to find a suitable ally for the leader, he would prefer Rizz to the original Moon Witch Smira, as the two have very similar personalities.

Of course, their leader now seems to be saying, "I want it all."

After a moment of contemplation, Niwu offered another perspective, saying:

“I remember my senior brother saying that he encountered a fragment of ancient Terra on a certain planet. So it’s possible that the Starry Sky Secret Technique fell to other places along with those broken star fragments. Let’s work together to deduce it and see if we can find any traces.”

After a moment's thought, Ritz nodded slightly. She hadn't made any progress at the original site of Ancient Terra, and continuing to struggle wouldn't be a wise choice. It would be better to go with Rossello to search for the secrets of the stars. On the one hand, she could learn something new, and on the other hand, it might be a clue to unlocking the secrets of the original site.

Led by Rossello, the three transcendents used astrology together. The endless stars floating in the darkness seemed to be following some mysterious trajectory, turning points into lines, and finally outlining a star map that foreshadowed the future, revealing a corner of the clue.

"In this direction."

Rossello immediately set off, flying towards the astrological target. Ritz and Niwu exchanged a glance, nodded, and followed.

The three traversed the void and landed on a huge, earth-yellow star. Judging from the historical traces on its surface, this star should have been a lifeless star from ancient times to the present, never having given birth to any life.

In Sirocco's words... it's a useless, glowing stone hanging in the sky.

“I often think about it.” Ritz gazed at the desolation before him; the planet's surface temperature exceeded one hundred degrees Celsius, and the earth radiated dry heat. He said:
"What is the significance of these stars that have never given birth to life? Is it to fill the darkness of the universe and give stars this meaning?"

Then, Niwu said:
"If there weren't enough dead stars, the original universe would probably be very empty, since life-bearing planets are only a very small minority."

"On the other hand, if there are too many life-bearing planets, I think there will be endless intergalactic wars. Among a large number of life-bearing planets, once a technological breakthrough occurs on a certain life-bearing planet or a supreme powerhouse is born, it will cause a devastating flattening of other worlds."

Universal peace is just a beautiful vision.

Guided by astrology, the three successfully found a fragment of a celestial body, about one-tenth the size of the Demon Realm. The irregular fragment had shattered again after falling onto the planet, with large and small pieces scattered irregularly across the land.

One of the fragments resembled a towering mountain peak, upon which Rossello found a massive stone tablet, shimmering with mysterious starlight, bearing the will of regret, and recording the complete secrets of the starry sky.

Furthermore, Rossello also resonated with some of the thoughts of that artificial god.

"The ultimate application of astrology allowed me to see a glimpse of the future: we will all return, only our appearances will have changed..."
