I'll kill you after I finish this game!

That being said, but...

"You didn't categorize yourself into the boring categories he promotes either, did you, Lord Heydrich?" A carefree and indescribably hearty laugh came from behind.

"Oh?" Reinhardt turned his head slightly and saw Gray and Karl walking side by side behind him with smiles. He didn't seem to care too much about Gray's teasing. He asked with a hint of amusement and curiosity, "Is that Karl and Gray... Where did you all go before?"

"It's nothing, I just watched from the sidelines with Gray for a little while."

Upon hearing this, Karl Craft shrugged indifferently, his usual mysterious, effeminate smile still on his face, and replied:

"Meeting you and belonging to the end of the empire... I feel a bit emotional about it."

"What a ridiculous joke."

Upon hearing this, Reinhardt's face lit up with a "I don't believe you" smile. His eyes gleamed as he looked at Gray and Karl, and he said with absolute certainty:

“You wouldn’t have such sentiments. Words like ‘belonging’ are completely unsuitable for you.”

Carl and Gray are two anomalies, and now Reinhardt is also one of them. Words like belonging and sentimentality do not apply to these three.

Carl was like a behind-the-scenes director, unwilling to stand in the spotlight, while Gray's carefree and unrestrained actions never showed any sense of belonging.

It's like playing a game; how could either of them possibly feel sad about something like this?

"Likewise, the word 'race' means nothing to you, does it?"

Lei Zhe waved his hand dismissively, feeling a pang of emotion as he looked at the familiar Golden City.

The leader of the Thirteen Knights of the Holy Lance, the Golden Beast, the Lord of Destruction, is a unique and unparalleled ultimate being here.

No two people can coexist at the top, therefore...

"What are your thoughts from this height, Reinhardt?" Reiji asked directly, addressing Reinhardt, who had undergone a drastic transformation and become a beast.

The other party was feared and ostracized because of his great talent, and his glory could not be shared with anyone.

Therefore, even the German leader once wanted to eliminate the other party, and this judgment was quite wise.

Regardless of the current situation, the more loyal a leader is to fear, the better he can be.

"I feel quite incompetent."

Reinhardt, reflecting on his current feelings, uttered this self-deprecating declaration, looking at everything as it was, and said:

"Because until now I have never felt fear, nor have I felt human emotions."

"The Black Round Table is made up of people like this, so there's nothing we can do... You're just exceptionally powerful within it." Mercury Serpent explained to Reinhardt with such directness and emotion.

As for whether this is good luck or bad luck, Mercury Serpent will not say more.

The process of growing up is simply a process of constantly losing and gaining.

However, for Reinhardt, who already knew part of the truth about the world, good luck and bad luck were the same.

He was merely a prisoner in the jail of fate; for better or for worse, the outcome was predetermined from the very beginning—this was the law of the Mercury Serpent.

Therefore, the Mercury Serpent will not come to the forefront, otherwise the story would be boring from the start.

It's better for the story to go without any mistakes; the Mercury Serpent won't interfere with the core matters.

"No matter how powerful you are, you are just a slave to fate. I was in prison from the beginning, just a special prisoner."

Reinhardt's definition of eternal recurrence is this unpleasant idea; he openly states that he is a prisoner, but what's special is that he won't be the kind who escapes, but rather he will completely destroy the prison.

Because he loved everything, he couldn't bear it, so he wanted to destroy everything and then redeem it. Looking at Gray and Carl before him, he said calmly:

"You gentlemen have something to tell me, or perhaps it concerns Karl?"

“Indeed, everything is on track. I also wish to return the position and title of deputy leader. I wonder if the Beast Hall would grant me permission?” Mercury Serpent said with a smile, stating so frankly that the purpose of his visit was a temporary farewell.

Mercury Serpent is mostly done working behind the scenes now; the work in front of the camera is almost finished, so it's time for her to step back and move behind the scenes.

But Reinhardt understood the other meaning. His smile vanished, and he looked at Gray and Karl with a complex expression, saying:

"So you mean you intend to be my enemy?"

“Not so.” Reiji shook his head. Reinhardt was not yet a worthy opponent. He glanced at Mercury beside him and said, “The enemy is also a very important character, a core figure in the story. Karl and I do not expect to appear in such a role. We want to withdraw from the story itself and be merely observers of you and your future from the outside, insignificant and nameless observers.”

Yes, only by acting as observers can one confront Narakuka head-on; the story of the stage does not belong to the two of them.

If he and Carl have any scenes together, they'll only be part of the vast background, hidden characters at the very end.

“To me, your words sound like you’re proclaiming your intention to become gods,” Reinhardt said with a hint of melancholy in his eyes as he looked at Gray and Karl before him. “Gray, Karl, my two friends…do you really find it so boring to be around me?”

These are the only two beings who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him, and also the ones who can understand and accept Reinhardt's true nature.

Reinhardt felt no dislike at all being with Gray, and he understood why Carl enjoyed working with him.

It was something that was on the verge of decay and solidification, yet it was given a tremendous vitality because of the other party. Reinhardt felt the same way at this moment.

As for Karl, he was like a mirror image, one dazzling and the other gloomy, a completely opposite existence that Reinhard could call a joyful one.

"No, it's not that. The two of us coming into your life would make everything boring, not just for you, but for us too. It's a good thing for both of us, isn't it?"

"So you've made up your mind to leave... Hmm, whatever."

Reinhardt wasn't one to hold a grudge, and he understood that both sides had their own difficulties. They both disliked the idea of ​​the three of them being bored, and forcing them to stay would be bad for each other.

Anyway, Reinhardt probably won't have a chance to appear for a while. Although tonight has set the stage for a new battle, it will take some time for the banquet to reach its climax.

Reinhardt looked at Gray and said with interest:

"I reckon I won't be making an appearance here for quite some time. Lord Grey promised me a journey that wouldn't be boring."

“Of course, it’s not a friendly thing to leave a friend who’s taking a break behind.” Rei Zhe smiled broadly and said, “My [Infinity] won’t keep you bored.”

It will take at least half a century, by which time the Mercury Serpent will have everything ready here.

Let Reinhardt go and have some fun in the other world with Reiji's daughter and disciples, and get along 'friendly' with each other.

"I'm looking forward to it, hehe, hahahaha."

Reinhardt's profile, revealing a smile, was sacred and absolutely inviolable, his kingly eyes, which seemed to scorn everything, as if they were made of gold, more brilliant and magnificent than anything else in the world, a solemn, beautiful, and terrifying gold.

"Please wait." X2.

The common voice also echoed this sentiment until the stage matching his was built, until the best play began.

That will certainly not bore anyone; Razer and Mercury only need to enjoy the performance at the end.

“Then, Karl and Lord Grey, before you depart, follow me on one last thing.” With that, Reinhardt opened the golden gates of his High Heaven and stepped inside first.

Reiji and Mercury chuckled and followed Reinhardt into the most luxurious golden hall.

"The empire will perish; let us share a drink as it faces its end."

“...Just like Gray, a hedonist.” Mercury Serpent said with a smile, without refusing.

Lei Zhe just rolled his eyes at this. What's wrong with him enjoying himself? In this world without new feelings, everyone has to create their own sense of novelty. Can't he enjoy himself?

Despite the truth of the matter, the two of them felt they had no choice but to comply.

Even though Reinhardt knew that these two people were using him, he didn't dislike destruction, so he gratefully accepted their request to cause damage.

Before this, Reinhardt will 'die' once, his physical body remaining here as a new symbol to be delivered to the Holy Communion.

As for his temporary soul, Rezhe will let him go to other worlds to have some fun.

Of course, if he could imagine encountering any 'trouble,' Reinhardt would probably gladly accept it all.

Well then, before that, please allow Matilda and my daughter to have a preliminary dance with you.

[Reinhard, who thirsts for destruction and endless war; Matilda, who yearns to shine even brighter amidst the flames of war; and her daughter, who is guiding Mary's growth—please continue to draw Naraku's attention, and enjoy the process to the fullest.]

P.S.: Please vote and recommend! In the official Day of Divine Wrath storyline, there will be time-traveling viewers interfering. At that time, at least some people will know what high-end martial arts are like, yay!

Chapter 70 Mibu Soujiro, Jiuding Ziori

In the alternate dimension of China, since the God Emperor issued that divine decree, the capital city has become a melting pot of all sorts of beings.

There are many humans, but there are also many demons and monsters.

However, most of those who remained in the capital were among the first to be eliminated, because without the ability to ascend to the Sky City, their desires and ambitions were of no use.

At a height of tens of thousands of meters, even those Onmyoji who are proficient in flight techniques dare not say that they can fly that high, let alone some samurai who specialize in physical skills and martial arts.

It would be too frustrating to be eliminated before even starting if there were no other channels to get on board.

As the year draws to a close and a considerable amount of snow falls, Reiji and Esther, disguised in period costumes, are enjoying the atmosphere for the time being.

Little and adorable Esther followed beside Rezhe, holding takoyaki in her two tiny hands and happily eating it.

With a pipe dangling from his mouth, Lei Zhe watched with amusement as more and more people flocked to the capital. There were so many people drawn here, some with desire but little ability, and others with real power.

The two were dressed in the clothing of this era, with Esther wearing a beautiful white kimono. Her delicate and lovely appearance was still very attractive even without her luxurious clothes.

Although some people wanted to strike up a conversation, they all gave up the idea after sensing the subtle, unsettling aura emanating from the man next to the girl.

During this period, many people caused trouble in the capital, and some were ruthlessly killed after running into a brick wall. Moreover, soldiers have been deployed in the imperial city to maintain order.

The consequences of recklessly causing trouble, especially if you lack real strength, can be quite dire.

"It seems that quite a few talented and extraordinary people have gathered here."

Smoking through his pipe and exhaling smoke through his nose, Reiji remained indifferent to the presence that had drawn him to him.

Most of these creatures, unable to fly and confined to the ground, are filled with such resentment and impatience.

In this country, there is a crime more serious than murder: failing to carry out the will of the God-Emperor.

Although no one has seen the God Emperor for many years, the greatest sin is to fail to carry out the decrees issued by the God Emperor.

Moreover, this imperial martial arts competition is not mandatory; it is an attempt to find capable and exceptional individuals.

So whether it's the Emperor's decree or personal desires, the capital city is indeed a chaotic and troublesome place.

Now, Razer has brought Esther to the highest observation deck in the capital, where a considerable number of samurai and other people are communicating with the Onmyoji.

Or it could be called a transaction, paying a price to have an Onmyoji with the ability to fly take you to the Sky City.

This was a method devised by those who lacked the ability to fly but possessed formidable martial prowess, and the Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) didn't mind earning some extra money.

Now this place is like a vegetable market, with conversations and noise constantly spreading here.

"Ugh...it's so noisy."
