Chapter 2238 The King of Crusade (Twenty-Three)
Kidnapping a divine child?

High risk is always followed by high return, and the first thing that comes to mind before payment is this long-standing illegal activity.

As for the Lone King and the Original Council, they are allies, and the latter's help is entirely out of humanitarian spirit, which seems highly unlikely in the current situation.

On the one hand, the Night Watchers clearly do not intend to destroy this place. As long as it is not beyond repair, the King himself should not be in much danger.

At most, the divine child was discovered, deemed a potential threat, and then dealt with.

In this situation, the actions of the original parliament not only take a huge risk, but also make the situation more serious.

It is neither beneficial to others nor to oneself.

Not to mention that the Lone King clearly didn't approve of them before, and with the help of the Night Keepers, he was now undecided about whether to bestow the power upon the real or fake Ariel.

In short, the details may be hard to grasp, but it seems highly likely that the original council's trip was for the thing in Ariel's belly.

This thing is so important to them that they are willing to get into big trouble for it.

Of course, his own troubles also seemed quite significant.

Satisfying curiosity comes at a price.

The gap between time and space—this special realm successfully isolated the Night Watchers, creating a brief window of opportunity for them to operate.

It was indeed a brilliant tactic, a killer move that could snatch chestnuts from the fire.

But why didn't they use such a good method on themselves?

By isolating yourself from the outside, wouldn't a series of operations avoid being exposed, and even be much safer?
It can't be for the sake of a friendly exchange in the moment; that's something only I would do.

So the most likely explanation is that Ariel doesn't not want to do it, but rather that it can't.

Perhaps one factor is the high degree of closeness between myself and the King, but the most crucial element should be those ever-closed eyes of calamity.

It is said that animals will refuse to reproduce under unsafe conditions. Could the alpha male of the hippocampus sequence also inherit this trait?
That power, clearly emanating from those in power, remained firmly fixed on the lonely king, and continued to accumulate.

If Ariel and the Lone King are in a good relationship, then they should be able to empathize with each other.

……

I'm sorry, Your Majesty may have no objection to this adoption procedure, but the King of Abandoned Prison does not agree.

Regardless of whether they can accurately pinpoint the tyrant's name, the original council has clearly discovered some problems and judged that if they don't deal with them, the process of the divine child's birth is likely to be blocked.

The end result was that even though he had clearly offended the king, his affinity was forcibly increased, allowing him to enter this special place.

I can completely understand the helplessness involved, but I can only say that the seeds of disaster were sown from the moment I was chosen as a tool and brought close to the Lone King.

The cooperation of the logistics team's night watchmen was indispensable in this.

"I did it."

At this moment, the "Ariel" on the other side had indeed nodded, acknowledging the identity of the Lone King.

"If you want to pin something on the council, then you've succeeded. It's almost impossible for us to prove ourselves, and the Night Watchers will likely go all out to crush us."

However, his next words were spoken from the perspective of the original council, which was strangely contradictory.

"These things were entirely predictable, so aren't you satisfied?"
"It's admirable that you've held on this long, but your body is clearly on the verge of collapse. If I hadn't blocked that attack, you might have been crushed. Do you really not value your life?"

But it must be said that the analysis was reasonable and well-founded. As Ariel spoke, he even looked up at the real "annihilation" disaster.

"Don't blame me for not warning you, if you get hit by this thing, some of your backup survival tools will likely be destroyed as well."

……

No wonder I felt something was off earlier; he was indeed a potential Tier 1 fighter. Ariel was naturally referring to the "Sword of Heavenly Punishment," which, judging from the description, seemed to have a certain retroactive effect. Don't think you can easily get rid of it by just leaving behind a stinking body.

"It's strange to hear you say the words 'cherish life'."

However, while not questioning the situation, Fu Qian remained unmoved by the persuasive rhetoric.

"For me, it's just a way to communicate, although you're right, he is indeed very special."

"Ariel" did not refute, and even his tone returned to that of a king as he looked down at his own body.

"The time I'm lucid is getting shorter and shorter, and I can see less and less..."

"So what's your choice? Leave, or become my enemy?"

The only regret is that I have limited patience for communication.

As he spoke, a hint of inhuman ferocity appeared on Ariel's face, and he issued an ultimatum.

"The terms are very generous, so as long as you leave now, we'll let bygones be bygones?"

Such magnanimity truly befits the title of king. Fu Qian nodded slightly, seemingly genuinely considering a graceful retirement—boom!

At that very moment, a phantom-like yet turbulent scene suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Countless sharp blades, seemingly formed from congealed blood, together formed a vibrant flower that bloomed directly in every corner within sight.

Unlike the lightning overhead, the flowers were unaffected by the delay, and the already fragile surrounding landscape remained untouched.

But the body was a different story. Fu Qian's already horrific body was instantly covered in countless cuts.

As a result, the situation mentioned earlier actually occurred, where the wind blew it away in one breath, and in the blink of an eye, only half of one shoulder remained.

……

This is the real blade storm.

The brutal attack suddenly appeared, but at that moment, Fu Qian was genuinely amazed by the visual effects.

The original council's choice just now was actually wise. If it weren't for the value of the exchange, they wouldn't have wasted time here and would have started completing the task long ago.

If I were to truly do everything in my power to isolate myself from the outside world, then all the calamities that befell me would erupt at the same time.

Even if the second-tier calamity guidance is insufficient, it can be switched to a higher power.

In short, the moment the Lone King was locked in, a certain fateful tragedy was already inescapable for Him.

To resolve this issue, one cannot exclude oneself from the problem.

Of course, this does not mean that the other party is actually prepared to negotiate after inviting him in.

The simplest and safest way is to completely eliminate them, not to mention that from the perspective of the original council, there is always a hidden executioner—Raven Feather.

Just because you can't see someone doesn't mean they're not there. Fu Qian had a very deep impression of this mysterious figure from the original council.

Using words to subtly guide while simultaneously building up a powerful strategy is also very much in line with their style.

"How come you're okay?"

Although the person involved still seemed dissatisfied with the current results.

Almost as soon as the storm subsided, Ariel's voice rang out.

Sorry it's a bit late.
