I'll kill you after I finish this game!

She didn't have an extreme need for human faith; she simply viewed it as a form of "energy" that she could utilize.

For example, the angel birth pool in Xiao Sheng's own celestial realm, besides using his own divine power, also uses the positive and beautiful emotions of faith among humans as the energy source for the birth of angels.

After all, as the shadow over all the gods on Earth in the past, her research capabilities surpassed those of all the gods.

Anyone who dares to absorb faith from a deity to enhance their power is digging their own grave.

However, for humans who believe in all sorts of gods, Xiao Sheng hopes they can be independent and self-reliant, rather than becoming faith-providing machines kept by the gods.

She is the only one on Earth, Reiji's home planet, who is truly embodying God's love for humanity; otherwise, she wouldn't have created a divine artifact that only humans can use.

However, the gods that Valyria prays to are not like the gods that Saint Seiya has the spare time to actually answer the prayers of lost sheep.

The Lord of the Heavens, the Serpent of Mercury, looked down upon everything except Reiji, Mary, and Reinhardt with equal arrogance.

And because of religion, Valyria later became like withered wood and ashes.

His innate superpowers had long since transcended the level of suffering and had begun to directly erode his life.

His state of mind, upon self-examination, was like that of a prisoner about to be slowly tortured to death.

There is no redemption left in this world; there is nowhere to escape in this vast world.

Therefore, Valyria accepted death with a calm and detached attitude.

But fate is cruel. The spiritually barren Valyria encountered the true "light," a man named Reinhard Heydrich.

On that night, on that fateful night, Valyria encountered various beings, including auspicious and inauspicious stars.

But in the end, they were all utterly defeated by Reinhardt.

Valyria also realized that Reinhardt was essentially a high and mighty monster.

Even though his feelings differed from others, the fact that he succumbed to the devil was undeniable.

Reinhardt, Gray, and Karl are seen as heterogeneous beings with completely different phases by Valyria and others.

It's as if the characters in the book have come to life and moved; they are the embodiment of the indescribable, unreal.

But for Valyria, who are unable to empathize with others' worldviews, the appearance of gold, mercury, and the constant can be seen as a blessing.

Because for the first time, Valyria resonated with others.

When faced with those three alien beings, everyone present felt an unfathomable fear.

Everyone was afraid, so Valyria shared that fear with others for the first time, a feeling that was both strange and wonderful.

However, Valyria could think of nothing other than God to describe the object through which others could see the same things and share the same feelings.

As for why? Because Valyria simply cannot see through or hear the thoughts and memories of these three people.

And so, through this encounter, Valyria discovered its own desires and finally fell into utter madness.

They worshipped Reinhard as their master, proclaimed their loyalty, and followed him, unaware that this choice was the source of all their mistakes.

Valyria realized this back then, but it was too late for him to turn back; that was his initial thought.

"No, I noticed it a long time ago."

He's just pretending not to know.

“Even though I realized it, I still couldn’t leave them, and that is my sin.”

As the war intensified, the atmosphere of war permeated the entire country from top to bottom, and the Black Round Table seized this opportunity to grow stronger.

During World War II, they fed on the souls of everyone involved in the war, like a burgeoning beast.

The original thirteen knights did not join the Black Round Table; in fact, only thirteen remained in the end, hence the name Thirteen Knights of the Holy Lance.

Those whose souls and wills are not firm, and whose potential is not high, even if they cultivate the Eternal Destruction that truly elevates their [human] status after being transformed by Lei Zhe, will eventually fall into a state of collapse.

After all, whether it's domineering or seeking the Way, the first thing to do is to define oneself from the very beginning.

People like Lisa and Red Spider cannot understand what they are, and can only stay at the [Forming] level.

Watching his comrades around him crumble and descend into madness, Valyria, who could sense the thoughts of others, could not be fooled, even though they appeared unchanged on the surface.

Upon contact with the "God" of the Black Round Table, all people, whether virtuous or corrupt, invariably begin to become distorted.

Valyria was terrified upon discovering this truth; he realized that he feared not the gold, the mercury, or any of the three men, but himself.

He gained power from those three beings who were both demons and gods, but in essence, he sought to awaken the powerful desires that formed the pillars of his soul.

In other words, it means taking off the mask you wear to face the outside world and confronting your dark side honestly.

The real reason why those Black Round Table alternates went mad was that they couldn't control their desires.

But even as colleagues around him crumble one by one, some people deny his existence while others revel in his bliss.

Regardless, upon realizing the existence of the laws governing their world, most of them transformed into humanoid beasts.

The world law that Valyria itself desires is... [the desire to become someone else].

As the war intensified, Valyria, who possessed telepathic abilities, saw nothing but destruction and stagnation.

Therefore, according to his desire, he wanted to share the five senses with anyone, despite his own ordinary and mediocre appearance.

However, to achieve this, one would either possess another's body or swap brains, which is utter nonsense.

Anxious about this, Valyria... ran away.

Yes, he ran away, escaping the choice he had to face.

Under the three heretical objects of gold, mercury, and eternity, Valyria does indeed have the opportunity to share the twisted value of the single [fear] with its companions.

But as long as he continues to have contact with them, he will have to confront his own twisted desires, which will grow increasingly larger and larger.

So, he deserted...and ran away.

Valyria, driven to despair and self-deception, wandered in endless hunger, surviving on a mere crumb of bread each day—a far more painful experience than starvation.

He ran away for his own sake.

If he hadn't met his colleagues at the Black Round Table and hadn't come into contact with those three aliens, he would have long since withered away and died.

However, now he actually longs for this end, and it must be said that he is indeed very good at 'escaping'.

Valyria had no regrets or confusion about his choice of this cowardly escapist behavior; he only hoped that he could return to the crossroads of his life.

Simply put, he didn't want to become a monster; he wanted to remain himself, even if he was abnormal, but still human, and die a peaceful death.

Even though he was a minor clergyman, he still did things to help others.

Even if all that Valyria sees is an 'other world' that others cannot understand, Valyria still hopes to be able to see things that she considers beautiful.

Neither "drawing a cake to satisfy hunger" nor "looking at plums to quench thirst" can fully describe his actions.

Valyria also had its own solace, believing that even in a sinful world, beautiful things still exist.

That's the young children (Author's note: cough cough... I'm getting a bit suffocated writing this, so priests all like little boys...).

Children are the best, children are the most wonderful, their hearts are the purest, and Valyria, as a telepath, loves children the most.

For Valyria, who was always passively receiving filthy and chaotic mental garbage, the existence of children was his salvation and comfort in the world.

So even though he was exhausted and worn out by the disasters brought by the war, the children in his eyes still contained a beautiful radiance that he loved.

Children are not as twisted as adults, Valyria thought, wouldn't it be wonderful to meet the end of my life surrounded by these children?

Therefore, Valyria, who escaped from the Black Round Table, chose the orphanage as his "coffin" and the children as his "flower offerings," wanting to pass away quietly there with a heart full of anticipation for beautiful things.

Although it was a very selfish choice on his part, he felt it was alright that the orphans, who were like flowers, were smiling so brightly.

If it meant cutting off the cruel memories in their minds and eliminating the painful noise of those memories, Valyria would be willing to sacrifice everything for them, even if it meant being shattered to pieces.

Only in this way can Valyria find its own redemption and allow the flowers to bloom brilliantly.

He loved the children's smiles; looking at them healed his broken heart, and that was true happiness for him.

But why not give them more smiles? This argument is not shameful; human connections operate on this principle.

Therefore, Valyria watered the flower called the Orphans, gave them food, and taught them to love.

That is precisely because Valyria hoped that these children would repay him, that is, love him, so he did everything in his power to love and redeem them.

It feels good to be liked and loved by others; he wants to drown in that feeling.

This happy period for Valyria lasted for about three months.

That was the most dazzling moment in his decaying and long life.

But on that day, everything came to an end in collapse...

Reinhardt suddenly appears and visits him at the orphanage (coffin) that Valyria considers paradise.

"I hereby grant your wish."

Reinhardt's observation was less a matter of looking at and more a matter of looking down at the priest before him, as he spoke so casually:

"To flee before the battle is a sin, therefore..."

It was indeed Reinhard who fulfilled Valyria's wish, but having gained the benefits, he then fled, and must pay the price.

The three strongest members of the Black Round Table that Reinhardt once led, Valyria now feels nauseous just from sensing their inner thoughts. They are no longer human, but demons!

The White Knight Schreiber scoffed at Valyria's sentimentality, the Red Knight Elunere scorned it, and the Black Knight Magina remained as solid as steel, devoid of any thought.

At this moment, Valyria already knew exactly what Reinhardt's inner self had become, simply by sensing the spirit of the Three Horsemen.

"Ten people."

As if discussing picking flowers, Reinhard, the golden beast, emotionlessly ordered the Valyrians to pluck the flowers (children) and offer them up, saying:

"Your choice is yours. This is your price. Pay it to me. If you refuse, it will all be considered as soul food."

Ten flowers, the souls of ten children, and their very lives.

In the coffin at the orphanage in Valyria, there happened to be ten unusual flowers.

Those are flowers (children) that are absolutely not allowed to exist in this era and in this country. (Everyone knows what kind of child they are).

Those are flowers planted by people who are forbidden to show care and who break the law.

Valyria did not treat these ten flowers differently from the other flowers.

Equality, fairness, infusing the same kind of love, treating everyone the same, and speaking of the same beauty.
