I'll kill you after I finish this game!

However, the other party has a close relationship with the deputy leader of the Black Round Table, and this unusual situation was magnified in the eyes of some perceptive people.

For example, Father Valyria's answer to this was...

"The deputy leader can't fathom it, nor can His Highness Grey. Everyone at the Black Round Table thinks so, but they are wary and disgusted by the former, while they can get along with the latter normally. Hmm... even our leader Heydrich finds him a man of curiosity and disbelief."

"So... what was his role in the war in Suwahara?"

Fujii Ren asked with some curiosity, "That shop owner has a close relationship with the deputy leader of the Black Round Table, and has connections with most of the people in the Black Round Table. He even knows Skadi."

What is this person's purpose in visiting Suwahara? Or rather, what position does this person occupy in this series of bizarre events?

"Um......"

Upon hearing this, Father Valyria stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment before replying, "The Observer, I suppose. Prince Grey once stated that he would not interfere in our affairs, but only wished to act as a witness from beginning to end. Although that's what he said... I can sense that the man has his own purpose."

"Do you really believe him like that?" Fujii Ren asked with some doubt.

"Lies don't really suit Prince Gray. Perhaps that's a bit of a misnomer. What I mean is... people don't need to hide anything from animals, right? That's the weird feeling I'm talking about."

Father Valyria's metaphor made Fujii Ren fall silent. Indeed, humans don't need to hide anything from animals.

If you encounter animals while surviving in the wild, you won't feel ashamed even if you're naked in front of them.

This is the difference and barrier between species.

The priest meant the same thing: Gray didn't need to lie to them, because there was no point in presenting the truth to them.

"Our first impressions of Prince Gray and Prince Karl were both quite peculiar. Gray gave off a strange sense of perfection and inclusiveness, while the Deputy Leader gave off a feeling of 'weakness'."

"Very weak?"

Father Valyria's description of the Black Round Table's deputy leader immediately struck Fujii Ren as odd.

How could someone who can become the deputy leader of the Black Round Table be considered weak?

"Does this seem contradictory and confusing? Let me explain it to you."

Father Valyria smiled when he saw Fujii Ren's expression, knowing what she was struggling with and conflicted about, and said directly:

"For example, if there is an old, terminally ill, and dying creature whose body cannot function properly, whose mind becomes strange, whose intuition and thinking become dull, and whose instincts are not functioning, then such a creature is undoubtedly 'weak', right?"

Fujii Ren did not refute Valyria's definition and explanation of weakness; instead, he nodded in agreement.

The existence the priest spoke of could be described as an immortal being that can only be eliminated by nature and is harmless.

But Valyria's next words are the crux of the contradiction.

"But what if the opponent is a lion? A bear? A tiger? What if it's a dinosaur? No matter how weak it becomes, its size is overwhelming, and the strength of ants can't solve the problem."

This is the impression most people at the Black Round Table have of Melcrius, or perhaps it's even worse.

What exactly is it? Perhaps it's even bigger than a dinosaur? Nobody knows.

The words of Father Valyria immediately reminded countless viewers of the terrifying mercury serpent in the Singularity of the Sea.

It transcends the concept of the world and is indeed immeasurably larger than creatures like dinosaurs.

The priest was saying that the deputy leader was something immeasurable, a point that resonated with countless viewers who nodded in agreement.

To understand the God on His Throne is like trying to understand the world from the perspective of an ant.

"After we reached the Creator Rank, our perception and understanding of the world gradually changed. Our perception of the Deputy Leader remained one of inferiority; no matter how things changed, we were still no match for him..."

Father Valyria sighed at this point, a sigh that almost every member of the Black Round Table had done.

The perception of the vice-leader is contradictory, and as for Gray, who can get along well with the vice-leader, the perception is... that he feels nothing at all.

No matter how strong you become, it's still like a human facing a boundless ocean or the infinitely deep starry universe.

The perception of the deputy leader evokes feelings of dislike and repulsion, while the perception of Gray is one of utter emptiness, as there is absolutely nothing about him.

Even a sense of insignificance is an extremely luxurious concept when facing Gray.

Perhaps only someone like Reinhardt is qualified to have this feeling.

Chapter Eighty: The Final Chapter of the Iron Fist, the Principle of One-Hit Kill

"Returning to the initial topic, although Lisa experienced many failures, she eventually created the first Sun Prince, Yzak, Lisa's son, and Theresa's grandfather."

The priest paused, then turned to look at Fujii Ren.

The meaning is obvious; you understand without me saying it, right? I'm asking you to guess where Sister Lisa's actions have gone...

Not saying it out loud seems to be a sign of respect for her.

So Fujii Ren answered in a low voice.

"Using your own to create Superman...?"

Children who are born with superhuman genes can indeed succeed if they use themselves as a template.

While it's impossible to prepare a hundred or a thousand, there's a high probability of producing one person. For Lisa, this is probably the last resort.

Reinhardt's vast army was the key figure who made the total weight tangible.

"The first Sun Prince, Yzak, was responsible for driving the city-scale relic, the Altar of Sacrifice, which was an important component for further strengthening Lord Heydrich [The World], also known as... a living sacrifice."

After a pause, Father Valyria continued his explanation:

"Lisa sacrificed her own son to save the children she had killed."

Ironically, it seems that Lisa has failed to save anyone.

The irony of sacrificing one's own child for other children is something no one can accept.

The other person's wish is similar to that of Sakurai Hotaru, so they crave the miracle of gold.

Killing a thousand people can bring the dead back to life, which some people see as a sure-fire way to make money.

Immortal creation. To resurrect the dead, or to make the living immortal.

Because Fujii Ren had read in a book that the term "gold" was indeed a metaphor for such things.

Upon hearing this, Fujii Ren fell silent, unsure how to evaluate Sister Lisa's actions. She asked in a low voice:

"So that means Yzak was devoured by Reinhard? Then why was Senior Sister born?"

It's contradictory. If the original Sun Princess was sacrificed, then how did Himuro Reia come to be?

Father Valyria chuckled and explained:

"The fusion between Yzak and Lord Heydrich only occurred on the soul level; their bodies remained intact, so you can imagine what happened next, right?"

"...Eugenics?"

"Yes, that's right, eugenics. We collected a huge amount of souls during the World War, so we have to do it again. That means we need another Sun Prince II, and that person is..."

"Himuro-senpai...?"

Fujii Ren gritted his teeth and answered the priest's veiled reference to the person Himuro Rei was referring to; it turned out that Himuro Rei's role at the Black Round Table was that of a sacrifice.

No wonder that person seemed like an emotionless doll when we first met.

Due to the circumstances, what Fujii Ren initially thought was a delusion—a suicidal thought—was probably actually a fact.

"As the Child of the Sun, can my senior also die?"

Even though she had already guessed the cruel truth, Fujii Ren wanted to know if the priest had any good solutions.

"The Altar of Sacrifice is a golden altar, and its core will be absorbed by the Heydrich Egg." Father Valyria shook his head, stating the undeniable and cruel truth.

So, is that really how it is? Then, is the nun trying to deceive her senior?

The priest refused, so he allowed himself and Xiangchun to escape, and then Ailunore executed them as traitors.

In the end, they only remembered Ling Ai...

“Lisa told me that she cherishes the turmoil in her heart more than anything else.” Father Valyria suddenly looked up at the sky, as if considering Fujii Ren’s feelings, and said to himself.

"But if that's what she thinks, why doesn't she say anything?"

Fujii Ren was somewhat puzzled. She didn't want to fight the nun, and in fact, she hadn't done anything like that. If she wanted to save her senior, she should be able to join forces with her.

"So it's about atonement, Lisa is entrusting everything to you."

Father Valyria smiled and spoke Lisa's true feelings, looking at Fujii Ren and saying, "Giving up hope of redemption to save Theresa is also a sin. If you can't save the children she killed with her own hands, then you can only pay for it with your own life."

The entanglement remains, and even Father Valyria is helpless.

After all, Lisa Brenner has always had a particular fondness for the concept of entanglement.

She struggled with the decision until the very last moment, hesitating repeatedly before finally making it. That's how it is.

"So, you mean to say...?"

Fujii Ren looked up at the tall priest and asked, "Did he say he wanted to form an alliance with me because of the nun?"

"You mean you want to fulfill that wish for the nun?"

"On the surface, that's how it seems."

The priest, without flinching from Fujii Ren's gaze, answered directly, "I think I've already said it: I also want to save Theresa."

In this respect, Fujii Ren truly sensed the priest's feelings for Himuro Reiai, as well as his awareness of her situation.

He was genuinely concerned about Himuro Reia and was taking action for her sake.

However, Fujii Ren still had one crucial question that needed answering. She stared intently at the priest and asked:

"So, what is your own wish? Are you going to give up? You must also want to revive someone, right? To fulfill your wish and save Himuro-senpai's life..."

Fujii Ren wondered what the priest's wishes were. Did he want to become immortal? Or were there dead people who wanted him to be resurrected?

It's probably not the former. In Fujii Ren's opinion, Father Valyria doesn't seem like that type at all.

What if it's the latter? Although we don't know who he wants to resurrect, is it something that can be so easily let go of?

“Didn’t you tell Lionheart before that hoping to reunite with the dead is strange?” Father Valyria said with a smile, echoing the words Fujii Ren had used to refute Sakurai Hotaru.

“And you’re right, you’re right, and I know that too. But Lisa gave up on the resurrection of the dead at the hospital. I want to see her choice, who’s right and who’s wrong, and what the outcome will be.”

"..."

Fujii Ren remained silent; what the priest said was somewhat understandable.
