I'll kill you after I finish this game!

The audience was also dominated by an atmosphere of deathly silence.

On the day of the harvest festival, the old priest, who helped the poor in the town and was deeply loved by the people, was sent to the guillotine.

Many of them were people who had been helped by the priest and couldn't get over their conscience.

"Darling...please..."

The pregnant wife, about to give birth, pleaded with her husband. Before she could finish speaking, her eyes, filled with a strange meaning, glanced toward the execution platform.

The husband is an overly naive and upright man; a woman's pleas are like a supreme command to him.

So, without saying a word, he rushed up the steps of the execution platform and shouted:

"I come!"

The wife cheered from the crowd, but the cheer immediately turned into a joyful shout.

But she endured the pain and began to sing her favorite tune in a bright voice.

"【Blood, blood, blood, I want to drink fresh blood (Jeveuxlesang,sang,sang,etsang.)】"

"【Beverage Pouring Guillotine (Donnonslesangdeguillotine)】"

"【To heal the thirst of the guillotine (Pourguerirlasecheressedelaguillotine)】"

"[What I desire is blood, blood, blood (Jeveuxlesang,sang,sang,etsang!)]"

Under this familiar melody, the crowd's sympathy for the priest vanished as if by magic.

The joyful singing voice spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, gradually expanding.

Before long, the entire square was filled with a bloody melody and a chorus.

At that very moment, the husband, who was about to be executed, found the courage to carry out his plan amidst the songs of the crowd, despite having no prior experience.

boom--!

The priest who was about to be executed blessed him, but as the sound of the axe cutting the rope fell, the priest's head rolled down the steps of the execution platform.

Officials thanked the worker in the name of the state, but the worker accepted the officials' praise with trepidation.

This husband truly felt that he had made contributions to his country.

When he returned to his wife, she had already given birth to a lovely baby girl who was crying. The husband was overjoyed and held his daughter in his arms.

"This child was born on the day of the festival, and God has an obligation to bring her happiness."

The wife, who already has her own child, said this with a smile.

Countless viewers who witnessed this scene felt a complex mix of emotions, including melancholy, because in a sense, what the mother said had indeed come true.

This baby girl will be the protagonist of this world, this universe, and is truly loved by God, who has bestowed upon her happiness.

P.S.: I'm having a hard time deciding which route to write for this loop. Should I just write the Ling'ai route directly?

Chapter 72 The Crimson Citizens Who Are Disliked by Countless Viewers

The future ruler of the fifth throne, the goddess of dusk, was reborn beneath the guillotine.

Born with a scar on her neck resembling a beheading, she seemed to be a testament to her being a born special being.

She was given the name Margaret Bruy by her parents.

Born in 1793 at the harvest festival in the French port city of Saint-Malo, his name means "jewel of Saint-Malo".

Under the watchful eyes of countless spectators, Reiji and Mercury took advantage of the couple's sleep and went to the baby window to silently watch over the sleeping Mary.

Mercury Serpent's eyes were red and she had so much to say, but seeing the baby's sleeping face, she couldn't utter a single word.

Having once been separated by life and death, we meet again now, but things have changed and people are no longer the same.

Lei Zhe gently stroked the sleeping baby's face, gazing tenderly at the little one in the cradle, his heart filled with the same melancholy and complex emotions.

However, there was indeed joy in being able to see Mary again. Although this scene had been repeated thousands of times, this time it was of extraordinary significance.

Mary's biological parents were taking care of her, and these two old-fashioned people were also secretly taking care of this innocent little girl.

In the fourth era, Margaret can indeed be described as a heroine favored and welcomed by heaven and earth.

The ultimate will of this world, that is, the Lord of the Throne, loves the other with all his heart and soul, and is willing to dedicate everything to the girl.

However, for the sake of the final outcome, Razer and Mercury Serpent should not interfere too much with Mary's fate unless absolutely necessary.

A girl who grows up under the watchful eyes of two gods has absolutely no safety concerns.

However, in the chaotic world, Mary, being a special being, brings misfortune to those around her.

Mary also had a short period of happy childhood, but because she still couldn't speak when she was 10 years old, her parents were extremely anxious.

Even though she had grown into a little girl, she had never uttered a single word. Her mother patiently taught Mary to speak every day, hoping that her daughter could grow up healthily.

However, Mary startled her parents the first time she spoke.

For the first time in her life, she spoke a lot—no, it would be more accurate to say she sang.

The guillotine song was sung by young Margaret with perfect clarity. No one had ever taught this little girl the song, yet she sang this bloody ballad on her very first try.

Blood, blood, blood........

The songs sung in the joyful and innocent voices of children are incredibly sweet, yet so bloody and abhorrent.

Hearing her beloved daughter sing this bloody ballad without any instruction, Mary's mother fell ill as if she had been severely traumatized.

After that, no matter how the couple tried to teach Mary to speak, she could only sing the Guillotine Song clearly.

Countless viewers fell silent. For a mother with unwavering faith, the fact that her daughter had sung such a bloody ballad without any instruction was like retribution, and she simply could not bear the blow.

Within just a few months, the mother, who had been suffering from such distress and emotional breakdown, died suddenly from overwork in her grief.

Even in her final moments, all she heard was her daughter's cheerful singing.

Despite being of an age where she should be able to understand and have a sense of awareness, Mary seemed completely oblivious to the grief of her mother's death.

Even after her mother died, she held her mother's gradually cooling hand, her face still bearing a childlike, innocent smile, and cheerfully sang the guillotine song.

Mary's father was also devastated by his wife's death, but he did not blame Mary. Instead, he took all the blame upon himself.

If I hadn't insisted on going to the execution platform to take the place of the executioner, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

Even though life has taken a turn for the worse, Mary's father has taken on the responsibility of caring for her.

But life didn't get better. Because he lost his job, Mary's father had to become a smuggler to earn money to support Mary. He was eventually discovered and sentenced to death.

As if by karma, this father was also beheaded, and the execution site and guillotine were exactly the same as the day Mary was born.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless viewers, Mary, now all alone, became a homeless orphan, wandering around like a cat or dog, humming bloody songs.

Although she is young, her delicate and beautiful appearance often attracts the attention of malicious people, and she also receives pity because of her pitiful appearance.

However, regardless of good or evil, all beings who came into contact with Mary had their heads severed from their necks under the indifferent and calm gazes of Reiji and the Mercury Serpent.

Mary was protected, blessed, and cursed by the guillotine; anyone who touched her would be beheaded.

A kind old man who wanted to help Mary, curious children who wanted to play with her, and malicious people who harbored ill intentions towards her...

Regardless of gender, age, righteousness, or evil, anyone who touches this homeless little girl will die, their head severed from their body.

Beheading was part of Mary's daily life; she couldn't tell the difference between someone else's head flying away or her own.

In the era of civilization before the collapse of the Honkai.

"Is this decapitation power a natural blessing or a curse?"

Looking at the young Twilight Goddess in the video, Alicia, who was snuggling with her friend Eden, said with a hint of helplessness, while a nostalgic expression appeared in her eyes.

She thought of her own birth, which, though not as bizarre as Mary's, was nonetheless extraordinary.

Alicia was born between heaven and earth. As a child, she was adopted as an orphan in the town of Vostok-51 Garden Colony. Her name was inspired by a fairy tale book she read: Alicia, the eternal paradise, the eternal land of happiness.

The goddess of dusk is named Margaret, which means the jewel of Saint Malo. In her name, personality, and many other aspects, Alicia loves Marie very much and loves her reincarnation.

Alicia's life in the small town taught her about the beauty of humanity, and her journey of wandering also brought her many experiences, which made her deeply love all of humanity.

Mary is the ultimate manifestation of love for others; no one dares to say that they can love everything like the goddess of the twilight.

"Perhaps it can be said to be a necessary trial. After all, it was precisely because Mary had never had normal contact with anyone that she wanted to contact others after she gained the [Heart], hoping to bring happiness to others through contact."

While sipping red wine, the world-class superstar Eden smiled and quietly shared his thoughts with his friend Alicia.

In the world of the Gods, special beings can form laws through their own desires, and the Goddess of Twilight longs for contact with others after she has a heart because she had no normal contact with anyone in the first half of her life.

At the same time, those who came into contact with her gave her love; she was loved first, and then wanted to love others.

"That's true, but my good Eden, that Mara was truly terrifying. I never imagined that such a monstrous and domineering god would appear in the Fifth Heaven..."

Alicia felt uneasy and even fearful just thinking about that Mara from before, because he was the ultimate reaction against love for others.

He only loves himself and only looks at himself; in Mara's eyes, everyone else is just disgusting dust.

It's fine if you don't come into contact with him, but once you do, it will trigger that terrifying Annihilation Manifestation.

Moreover, because of the congenital cyst, Mara developed an absolute killing intent towards others. Because he felt displeased, he wanted to kill everyone except me!

Even Alicia, a social terrorist, finds these terrible problem children both a headache and a toothache.

“It is indeed terrifying. At first, the most repulsive and frightening thing was the golden beast, but compared to Mara, it is like a small witch compared to a great witch.”

Eden nodded with deep feeling. In the world of the God Throne, it was Reinhardt who made her and Alicia feel physically and even spiritually uncomfortable.

After all, the other person's love is distorted, a domineering love filled with aggression.

However, compared to Mara's more twisted self-love, Eden and Alicia found Reinhardt not scary at all, despite his so-called destructive love.

..........

Let's get back to the video.

"Blood, blood, blood..."

Mary, with her delicate little feet bare and wearing a somewhat tattered white dress, wandered aimlessly, humming a hateful, bloody ballad.

Because of the curse of beheading, people hated, avoided, and feared her, and she had no contact with anyone during her childhood.

Mary was regarded as a terrible witch, causing great panic wherever she went.

Mary didn't understand these things, nor did she understand what other people's fears were.
