I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"How could that be? His Majesty the Divine Emperor's decree is very clear. We, His Majesty's subjects, only wish to inquire whether there is anything we are required to do in this Imperial Martial Arts Competition?"

To be honest, among the many who are enthusiastic about the divine decree issued by the God Emperor, 99% of those present are very interested in it and want to get all the accurate first-hand information from the God Emperor.

Lei Zhe naturally knew what these people were thinking, but he couldn't be bothered to argue with them. After all, that's just human nature, so he calmly said:

"Anyone who reaches the very top of the Suspended City is qualified to compete in the Imperial Court, but the security of the capital will be left to the Imperial Ministers."

"If the Imperial Ministers are interested, they may send their representatives to participate. The weak will hone their wisdom, and the strong will hone their claws. My previous promise remains unchanged: as long as you can reach the top, I will not mind if you use any means necessary."

These words truly resonated with the ministers, some of whom held high positions but lacked real power.

To compete for this ball of powerful figures, they might want to use connections, but they also have to consider the opinion of the one currently on the throne.

But now, Lei Zhe has also spoken up, saying that he will do his best and will not care about their methods. Being able to climb to the top of the Suspended City and win the imperial martial arts competition is also your ability.

Now that Lei Zhe had spoken, they were all secretly excited.

However, Mikado Ryūmei and some more level-headed individuals scoffed at these guys who wanted to win through underhanded tactics.

As His Majesty the Divine Emperor once said, the weak hone their wisdom, while the strong hone their claws.

Define yourselves as the weaklings in the eyes of the God-Emperor. If you want to win by relying on your so-called 'wisdom,' then we'll see what kind of extraordinary wisdom you possess that can suppress other powerful individuals.

"We understand Your Majesty's meaning, and we will certainly not fail Your Majesty's trust."

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Zhongyuan Lengquan couldn't help but reveal a confident smile. He was essentially a ruthless, warlike, ambitious man, and also a very cunning and dangerous one.

He was naturally confident in his own strategy, but he also didn't overestimate himself. So, after receiving the God Emperor's affirmation, Zhongyuan Lengquan needed to mobilize his forces.

"Do any of you gentlemen have anything else to say? If not, you may leave."

Seeing these people leave with secret excitement, Lei Zhe nodded knowingly, without feeling any resentment.

Of course, there were only two people among those present who could catch Lei Zhe's attention: Mikado Ryūmei and her daughter, Mikado Ryūsui.

These two are also his chosen candidates. As a parallel world, this Mikado Ryūmei can be said to be the reincarnation of Eluneore from the German Gestapo in the main world.

The husband is actually Reinhardt from this timeline, but unlike the Reinhardt from the main timeline, he wasn't poisoned by Reiji's snake venom and felt bored with everything.

Here, he is merely a handsome man with considerable talent.

However, as if due to the inertia of spacetime, Reinhard in this timeline also died young, just like Reinhard Heydrich in the normal historical timeline.

Just as the trajectory of German history is somewhat similar, during Operation Ape-Man on the night of May 27, 1942, Heydrich was seriously wounded by two Czech paratroopers sent by the British, who were armed with grenades and repeating pistols, and died on June 4.

In this timeline, Mikado Ryūmei's husband was also an Onmyoji, but he was assassinated because he was too talented.

Similarly, just like the attraction between people, this Mikado Ryūmei also knew a blonde girl from the West named Beatrice.

However, the other party is now the housewife of the Sakurai family in Shenzhou. Her relationship with Mikado Ryūmei is different from that of the German commander and subordinate in the main timeline. Their relationship is not so strange. They are close friends who can talk to each other.

"Brother, is there a [Prince] of yours in this world too?"

Esther, who was standing next to her, noticed that Razer was deep in thought and probably knew that the soul of Mikado Ryūmei from before also felt familiar to her.

Although it's a parallel universe, this is the first time Esther has met two people who are similar yet different.

The "Prince" that Esther mentioned refers to the person that Reiji created and bestowed upon him with his blessings.

"Yes, he's kind of a subordinate that Matilda found."

Rezhe gently stroked Esther's soft head, lovingly feeling the smooth strands of hair between his fingertips, and gazed into the distance with deep eyes, saying:

"Although it is a product derived from the Tengu Path, narcissism and self-love are the foundation of a god, and others are merely decorations. But this world is not the Tengu Path. You who cannot yet be called 'humans', let Matilda correct you properly."

After saying that, he took Esther's little hand and led the little one out of the palace to play.

After all, Esther didn't like this atmosphere, and Reiji also wanted to see how his princes were doing.

------

On the other side, Skadi, the true God Child and daughter of Razer, showed little abnormality in her growth due to the influence of Lando Tenwu and his Blue Dream organization.

The real anomaly lies in Skadi herself, after all, her birth was extraordinary.

Because of the protection of Reiji, and the blood relationship that could deceive Rando Tenbu, Rando Tenbu was only satisfied with Skadi's special and extraordinary nature.

Now a year has passed, and Skadi's growth rate, perhaps due to her unique way of absorbing nutrients, is remarkable. At only one year old, she already possesses mobility far exceeding that of an adult.

It is precisely because of its special nature that Lan Daotianwu has high hopes for it.

At first, instead of teaching her any training, they wanted to test Skadi's aptitude and intelligence.

At first, the answer that Lando Tenbu received was quite satisfactory: Skadi, a child who was not born ordinary, possessed a strong learning ability.

Even before the age of one, they possess the ability to think, for example, mastering all the language systems on Earth within a day and quickly understanding historical and worldviews.

Later, when Lando Tianwu ordered the members of the Blue Dream organization to lift the restrictions on Skadi, wanting to see her limits.

Skadi was only one year old when she learned multiple foreign languages ​​and became proficient in a wide range of skills, from playing the violin and medicine to flying airplanes.

Lan Daotianwu could sense that as his daughter spent more time by his side, even though he hadn't taught her martial arts, the young girl seemed to be increasingly able to understand some profound principles about "power" and "moves".

Superman's genius did indeed catch the attention of Lando Tianwu, who wanted to "find out" just how far this outstanding daughter could go.

Therefore, Lan Daotianwu used his superior wisdom, along with "Huangji Jingshi", to "speculate".

Although his daughter was a person without destiny and might not be able to observe the stars, he could still make indirect inferences by calculating the relationship between the Blue Dream Organization and Blue Path Heavenly Martial.

However, the final result that Lan Daotianwu obtained did bring him some joy, but also some doubt, because the Azure Dream that the Blue Dream Organization longed for had indeed undergone the changes he had hoped for because of the arrival of this Child of No Fate.

Earth has indeed become better, and Lando Tianwu has seen the blue he had hoped for, but he is about to experience a catastrophe where war will ravage the earth.

This was nothing to Lan Daotianwu, since one must endure hardship to achieve Nirvana.

However, Lan Daotianwu could no longer see the existence of his own Lan Meng in the bright future; everything had turned into a fog.

Although the answer was not entirely satisfactory, it made Lan Daotianwu pay more attention to this "variable" by his side.

Those without destiny are not included in the calculations of fate; only by seizing opportunities can the azure dream that Lan Dao Tianwu yearns for be realized.

So when Skadi was about two years old, Lando Tenbu prepared to begin formally training her.

Today, at Easter Island, where he trains his five sons, Randall Tenbu brought his two-year-old Skadi with him.

"Dad! Why did you bring Mio Mio here!?"

Oga's first reaction upon seeing his sister was surprise, but this was quickly followed by tension and disbelief. He had a very bad feeling about his father, who stood beside his sister with a serious expression.

Lan Meng felt the same way, but dared not say too much. The intelligent man knew that his younger sister was a genius, and he had long anticipated that his father would have such a day.

Besides Lan Meng and Oga, the other three sons of Lan Dao Tianwu are the girls who met Oga and Lan Meng for the first time today, and the daughters of Lan Dao Tianwu.

The three adopted sons of Lan Daotianwu—Shou Nan, Tian Dao, and Dian Yan—also immediately turned their attention to that direction.

"------!"

The same feeling of resonance is amazement; the petite child has an overly delicate and lovely face that is not yet fully grown, like a masterpiece of art.

Her hair was as lustrous and immaculate as silk, her skin as white and translucent as mutton fat jade, and her delicate and refined features were like those of an angel.

Moreover, the other party's presence was too unusual; at first glance, they gave people a perfect feeling.

It was an unparalleled, extraordinary, and even irrational beauty.

But besides the beauty, there was a strange, deadly feeling that perplexed the three boys who had stood out among many talented children.

The girl in front of them, who was much younger than them, gave them a deadly sense of oppression, as if they would die if they took action against her.

But how is that possible?

She's just a young girl. They can fight lions and tigers, so how could they be scared by a girl so much younger than them?

Lan Dao Tianwu also noticed the psychological fluctuations of Tiandao, Dianyan, and Shounan, in addition to Lanmeng and Oga.

After the initial amazement came confusion, then tension, and finally, vigilance.

This made Lan Daotianwu slightly more satisfied. He believed in the theory of no love, and if his adopted sons were to be seduced by women, he would definitely be disappointed.

But now it seems that his children have indeed sensed the pressure from their daughter. In terms of magnetic field power, Skadi is stronger than all of them.

So besides training Skadi, there's another purpose today.

“Starting today, Skadi will train with you. She also has another name, Lan Miaomiao, and she is my daughter, Lan Daotianwu.”

Ignoring Oga's gaze, Rando Tenbu calmly and casually introduced Skadi before stating the purpose of bringing her here.

That's right. Starting today, Lan Daotianwu will be training his daughter, and the training will be even more arduous than that for his sons.

After all, if Skadi's innate potential wasn't utilized, then Lando Tenbu wouldn't deserve to be called a genius.

However, upon hearing the undeniable words from his father, Oga immediately clenched his fists, growing anxious, and looked at Lando Tianwu in a deep voice, saying:

"Dad, Mio is only about two years old. She's too young. You only started training me when I was five!"

Oga knew he couldn't defy his father's treatment of his sister, but he hoped his sister could start training a little later, at least until she was a bit older.

She's only two years old. Other kids her age are already playing with their teachers and classmates in kindergarten.

Tiandao, Dianyan, and Shounan all turned their gazes to Oga, whose face was grave. It was the first time they had ever seen Oga with such an expression, and the first time they had ever seen Oga care about others.

However, it's understandable since she's their own sister; they're not heartless people, so it's understandable.

Some time ago, Tiandao used a scheme to get his younger brother Raven out of here alive, and he understands Oga's feelings right now.

If his younger brother, at that age, were to be dragged into grueling training by Lan Daotianwu, he definitely wouldn't be in a good mood either.

Hearing his son contradict him, Lando Tianwu wasn't annoyed. He could sense that Oga was worried about his sister. A smile of inscrutable meaning appeared on his lips as he looked at Oga and said:

"Two years old is enough, Oga. You're not comparing your sister to other kids her age, are you? You should know your sister is special..."

At this point, Lan Daotianwu paused for a moment, then looked at his daughter Lan Miaomiao, who had remained silent, with great interest, and said directly:

"Miaomiao, what do you mean? Your father is going to start training you today, but your older brother wants you to wait until you're a little older. Your father respects your opinion and we can wait until you're a little older."

Despite saying that, Lan Daotianwu was confident that Lan Miaomiao would not rebel against him in educating his daughter.

Although he cannot read his daughter's thoughts due to her special condition, Lan Daotianwu is confident that he can control her.

So even though this seems like giving face to his son Oga, it's actually still under Lando Tianwu's control.

"Father, there's no need to say more. We'll have to face this sooner or later anyway, and I won't run away from it."

Skadi's expression remained largely unchanged. She merely glanced apologetically at her older brother Oga before calmly and methodically responding to Lando Tenbu's question.

"Hahaha, good! This is my daughter, Lan Daotianwu!"

Upon hearing Skadi's calm reply, Lando Tenbu's face broke into a hearty smile, and he exclaimed in admiration:
