They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 519 Dealing with a Tsundere: A Straightforward Approach

The deal between Danlei and Changyeyue was mentioned in previous situation reports.

None of the three members of the group felt that there was anything wrong with Danlei exchanging valuable intelligence for the price of not intervening later.

Let's set aside the fact that Danlei had no obligation to babysit his pioneering journey.

March 7th believes that the problem of the long night moon should be solved by himself, after all, the one who tied the knot must untie it.

Demogue's personality was almost a carbon copy of Pink-haired Xilian's, so she naturally wouldn't be unreasonable. When her peach refused, she accepted it with a somber expression.

However, there was still one person present who completely lacked martial ethics. Seeing that Demuge had already given up, Dan Lei took the initiative to speak.

"Actually, it's not that Xi Lian can't go along."

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Demuge looked at Dan Lei innocently, his excitement tinged with unease, and said...
"Dan Lei, if Xi Lian goes, wouldn't that be breaking the agreement?"

Regarding Demuse's question, Danlei nodded without hesitation.
"Of course it violates the agreement, but as far as my agreement with Changyeyue is concerned, there is no consequence for violating it, so there is no need to worry too much about it."

Anyway, I have thick skin, so even if Changye Yue rushes up and scratches me, it won't break my defenses.

Moreover, I don't intend to let Xi Lian lead you all in like this. Xing, give me what I've written.

Danlei has broken his word before, and this isn't the first time. Just think how badly he was tricked on Sunday.

However, Danlei still has a good reputation among his friends because he wouldn't use his ulterior motives on them.

You mean the Long Night Moon is March 7th?

It's best to ask Xing and Danheng whether they consider the Long Night Moon to be part of March 7th.

In short, as I had written, Xingjian Danlei took it out without hesitation and handed it to Danlei.

After obtaining the book, Dan Lei used the mechanical data from the Nameless Titan Tomb to replicate a model, input the data model in front of him as I wrote it, and tried the re-creation program.

Normally, such a simulation would be impossible to run.

Even if you copy and paste the entire program, the program environment is unlikely to be the same on different computers.

If even one class file has a different name, the program will not be able to run.

However, if the data itself is dynamic and can adapt to the environment autonomously, that's a different story.

As I have written, it is obviously not alive, but Danlei can add intelligent code to the simulation.

There was only one purpose: to test the possibility of temporarily integrating Xi Lian into what I had written.

After all, the best time to make Xi Lian the head of the Iron Tomb would definitely be when the Rebirth is activated and the data of this cycle is fed to the Iron Tomb.

At that time, with the tuning of Dominix in accordance with everyone's wishes, Legus will have absolutely no time to stop them.

With the computing power of Immortal One, the test results came out quickly.

The test went smoothly, and the intelligent program fit perfectly into my book.

Because, as I have described, the essence of my writing is an information terminal modified by the power of memory.

To put it simply, it's a hard drive.

Therefore, as long as it can fit inside, Onpharos's data lifeform can be directly placed inside.

Once inside As I Write, the intelligent program can even coordinate the data within As I Write, deciding what kind of data each data node should provide.

If Xilian enters, in principle, this cycle of Onpharos no longer needs to continue.

Xi Lian's memories contain the memories of more than 30 million reincarnations before Bai E. As long as the relevant memory data is digitized and matched with the simulated fire seed adaptation key, it can be obtained.

Subsequently, by using the machinery in the Nameless Titan's Tomb, one can directly initiate the re-creation without needing to place the spark into the basin of water in the center of the vortex of creation, and gradually unseal the cycle program within the tomb.

After all, in previous reincarnations, the Fire Thief would forcibly seize the fire seed of the demigods. This fire seed was clearly just a key to unlock something in the basin of water in the center of the creation vortex. In subsequent creations, it would be the same whether they were there or not.

Since the test went smoothly, Danlei returned the book I wrote to Xing and said to the three little ones from the Pioneer Group.
"Entering the Tomb of the Nameless Titan requires coinciding with the time we summon Dominix of All Wishes, so you cannot go now."

However, I will let Xi Lian enter as I wrote to insure you at that time.

I estimate that Changyeyue won't take action against March 7, but she's the kind of person who, even if she thinks it's for your own good, will disregard the target's personal wishes and force them to cooperate.

Therefore, there are still risks involved in combat.

I'm having Xi Lian accompany you; it's like adding an insurance policy. She'll only step in if you're unable to handle it.

Dan Lei's arrangement was naturally accepted by the three members of the development team, and Demuge even said with a smile...
"Hehe, I feel at ease with Peach around. As long as she and my friends are by my side, I can exert 100 times my strength."

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately recalled the words from the neighboring insect: "With Mei around, it's like having the strength of 100 people."

However, Demuge wore Xilian's face, which was Alicia's teenage form.

Kiana's soul, Alicia's body—Danlei felt excited just thinking about Mei.

Just as Danlei was lost in thought, Xing suddenly asked curiously.

"Sigh... Uh, Demogue, really, you change your name every now and then, it's just as diverse as your species."

By the way, why are you called Xi Lian Tao Zi? She doesn't look like her.

Xing's rant immediately caused everyone to chuckle.

Upon closer reflection, it's true that Demogue, starting from her ethereal form, was indeed mistaken for various creatures, from a puppy, a rabbit, a fairy... and finally, a young girl.

Moreover, judging from Zi Xilian's appearance, she will definitely have an adult female form later on.

As for names, there are three: Mimi, Xilian, and Demiaoge, no wonder Xing complained about them.

Seeing everyone's smiles, Demuge felt happy too. She didn't mind Xing's teasing and directly linked arms with Xilian, saying...

"I don't know. I still don't have the memories of those 30 million reincarnations. I only know that as soon as I hear the name Demuge, Xilian is Taozi. I'm sure of that."

Demuse's understanding is clearly somewhat problematic.

Seeing this, Dan Lei cleared his mind of the jumbled thoughts and helped explain.

"As far as we know now, Demuge is the seed of memory, nurtured into what she is today by Xilian through countless stories in over thirty million reincarnations."

That's why she appeared with a replica of Xi Lian's appearance.

The Xi Lian who told her the story back then was indeed a pink-haired girl.

I reckon that Demuge, who knew nothing at the time, simply called Xilian "Peach" because pink was associated with peaches.

"Speaking of which, now that Xilian has turned purple, Demogue, are you sure you don't want to rename it Grape?"

Dan Lei was joking when he told Demiao Ge to change his name to Xilian Grape.

However, Demogue very seriously rejected Danlei's suggestion, saying...
"No, a peach is a peach. Even if there are purple peaches in the world, it is still a peach."

Seeing that Demuge insisted that Xilian was a peach, Danlei didn't dwell on it and just assumed that Demuge liked to eat peaches. So, Danlei changed the subject and continued talking about serious matters with the three little ones.

"Xing, March 7, Danheng, the three of you rest in Janusapolis today. Tomorrow you will proceed to Ohma as planned."

"By the way, Xing, Danheng, do you still remember the original plan?"

Xing and Danheng don't have amnesia, and they didn't actually stay in the Ai Li Secret Pavilion for two hundred years, so they must remember their previous plans.

However, Dan Heng took the initiative to ask at this moment

"Danlei, as you said before, the relationship between Janusapolis and Ohma is tense right now. Are you sure that going there directly won't escalate the conflict?"

To this question, Dan Lei could only laugh.

"Don't worry, my relationship with Krydella is much more complicated than you think."

She and I are not purely enemies, not even competitors.

The conflict between Crydela and me is mainly a conflict of status. She feels that I am using everyone in Naompharos as a pawn, playing a game against Lygus, the creator of this world.

She didn't want to be a pawn, so she was naturally opposed to me, the player.

To be honest, Krydella's idea wasn't wrong. My goal has never changed: to do everything I can to destroy the Iron Tomb.

In order to destroy the Iron Tomb, I am indeed using Onphalus's manpower and resources.

From a third-party perspective, I, who manipulate the overall situation of Onphalus, have a sense of turning everything into my own pawns.

Of course, I believe I have given considerable thought to the survival of the native Onfaros.

Although the world will surely be destroyed, I have left the Onphalus people with a considerable chance of survival.

However, if I said these words, Krydela would most likely not believe me, or rather, she wouldn't want to end up playing the role of a 'pawn' herself.

Therefore, I need your help to persuade her to agree to my plan.

After all, you and she don't have a naturally opposing stance.

Oh, and remember this: I can make a promise to Crydella…

Danlei already had some understanding of Krydella, so he offered her a series of favorable terms based on her personality.

She then analyzed the three little pioneers from a psychological perspective, with Aglaia and Titi, who had previously worked with her, providing supplementary information.

The goal is to peel back the layers of Krystalla and present her as the most authentic version of herself to the three pioneers.

Of course, Danlei didn't expect Xing and March 7 to remember everything he said; he just needed Danheng and Demuge to remember.

The next day, after Tibo contacted Tian and Ohma to make arrangements, she opened the Hundred Worlds Gate directly to Ohma and sent the three little pioneers, Gadmugg, over there.

However, as soon as Xing and his companions stepped through the gate, they found themselves in the very center of a throne room, with soldiers of restrained bearing standing on both sides of the edge of the room, all of whom appeared to be of the Golden Clan.

On either side of them, a row of officials were looking at them curiously, and many others were making unsolicited comments about Xing and his companions.

However, the three of them were all worldly people. They had never shown any fear when facing the half-step star god, the god-lord of the Immortal Ship Alliance, the Great Lord of Annihilation, and the head of the Pinocchio family. Kerudela's test was nothing to them.

So, adhering to the principle that "I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed," Xing stared intently at Krydella on the throne.

Danlei once said that Crydella's short stature was due to her deal with the Titans, and she had to jump to reach the throne, but her royal bearing was in no way inferior.

Xing was actually quite curious about how such a small body could project the majesty of a king.

It should be noted that, among all the people Xing knows so far, the ones with the most regal authority are Queen Morgan of Avalon and the heroic spirit Artoria of Pinocchio Danley.

So, Xing unconsciously compared Krystal to these two, and the more she compared them, the more confused she became.

When Dan Heng and San Yueqi spoke, Dan Heng entered his "cold-faced little green dragon" state, appearing uninterested in watching and discussing.

On March 7th, he pulled Demugg aside and whispered to himself, while turning around and criticizing the ministers on Kerudela's side.

As for Demogue, she wasn't intimidated either, but simply whispered to everyone...
"Everyone be careful, let's wait and see."

Queen Cerydira is trying to intimidate us.

The others, of course, knew that Krydella was demonstrating her power at this moment, so on March 7th, they took the initiative to speak to Demug.
"Don't worry, this level of intimidation is nothing to us."

"In terms of sheer terror, it was when Xingxiao led his antimatter legion, his colossal avatar standing atop the cosmic battlefield, that it was truly terrifying."

Cerudela, with her sharp ears, naturally heard what was said on March 7th. Seeing that her prepared show of force was indeed ineffective against the savior prophesied by Euronis, she took the initiative to speak.
"Oh~ You all have seen the vastness of the universe. Could you show me the so-called grand scene in detail?"

As the host, let me first introduce myself.

To maintain order and hierarchy, people have given me many titles: the one who ends wars with the crown, the dictator of the cloud cliffs, the fire-chasing Caesar.

However, given your special status, I allow you to address me by my real name.

"Cerudela, on behalf of my land and people, pays homage to the Savior."

Krystal took the initiative to express friendliness, and Xing and the other two naturally wouldn't remain formal. They all bowed, and Xing, on behalf of the three children, said...
“The nameless guest star, Danheng, March 7th, and Demuge of the Starry Sky Train Group have met His Majesty Kerudela.”

Upon hearing Xing's words, Demuge's eyes lit up, and he secretly used his mental power to ask Xing a question.
"Friend, have I also joined the Star Train and become a nameless passenger?"

Xing found this question very strange and answered directly.

“You are my inseparable memory. I will follow you wherever you go. Of course you have to come with me and join the Star Train as an anonymous passenger.”

Demogue was clearly very satisfied with Xing's answer and replied...
"Yes, my partner and I are indeed inseparable, and we will definitely travel across the stars together in the future."

While Xing and Demogue were whispering to each other, Krydira, upon hearing Xing's self-introduction, immediately showed an interested expression and asked...

"Don't the nameless passengers on the Star Train call themselves saviors?"
With gray hair and golden eyes, he descended upon Janusapolis yesterday and arrived in Ohma today through the Gate of Fate. There should be no problem.

"Star, I ask you, don't you consider yourself a savior?"

Xing and the others had already reached a consensus on how to deal with Crydella. After Danlei's meticulous analysis, they defined Crydella's personality as a unique kind of tsundere.

Because she was kind at heart, but had to appear fierce.

She longed to speak kindly with others, but her position required her to speak with authority.

Therefore, as long as someone can break her "arrogance", she will naturally reveal her "charm".

So, Hoshino and the others chose the common approach to dealing with tsundere characters: going straight for the kill.

Faced with Krystal's question, Xing answered without hesitation.

"We, the anonymous travelers, are never saviors; our guiding principles are to explore, understand, build, and connect."

While we are generous in our efforts to save others, becoming so-called saviors is not our desire.
