I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

According to Theresa, Duanmu Lian always stood in front of her when danger arose.

First, she was attacked by superpowers, then she fought against adults beyond her physical limitations, and finally she took a bullet for Himuro Rei.

In any case, this kind of experience is far too heavy and painful for a young child.

“Father, I’ve heard enough thanks and such yesterday.”

Duanmu Lian put down her water glass, looked at Valyria in front of her, and said softly:

"I have something I want to ask you. Does Himuro suffer from depression or some kind of chronic physical illness?"

"Hey!? No, Theresa is perfectly healthy, why would you say that?"

"So you didn't abuse her, did you?"

"...Arnold, Fujii-kun, do I look like a scumbag?"

Looking at Duanmu Lian's fierce and suspicious eyes on the bed, Valyria was speechless.

He was confused by her sudden questions about whether Himuro Rei was ill and whether he had abused her.

However, Valyria was not angry.

After all, asking these outrageous questions stems from concern for Himuro Reia.

"On the surface, neither the priest nor the nun seemed like a bad person, but I don't look at their true nature. In my eyes, Himuro was a contradictory person."

"...contradiction?"

"It's like someone who knows they have no future, but still wants to live a good life."

"........"

“I don’t want to delve into what happened yesterday or what happened to you, but Himuro is someone who desperately needs protection. Father, will you protect her?”

"Yes, absolutely. I swear to the Lord, I will protect (save) Theresa."

Valyria opened her eyes, which were no longer sharp, but instead became somewhat gentle and resolute.

He never intended to harm Theresa; he was just somewhat confused about the child.

He loved Theresa as if she were his own child.

But he didn't know whether that love was based on his body's reaction or came from his own true intentions.

Despite their confusion, Valyria truly didn't want anything to happen to the child.

...........

Duanmu Lian left the church and was taken to Suwahara's hospital by Valyria.

His injuries require hospitalization.

Valyria provided Duanmu Lian with the highest level of treatment, and fully reimbursed the cost.

Now that he has recovered from his injuries, it is time for him to leave Suwahara.

But before that...

"E-413, you're really going all out to protect those two surveillance targets."

At night, in the city hospital, Red Spider, like a ghost, quietly descended into the VIP ward where Duanmu Lian was.

Looking at the disheveled little figure on the hospital bed, he had a detached gaze and let out a sneer.

Shouldn't I protect them?

With a calm and blank gaze, Duanmu Lian looked at the red spider before her, her voice filled with doubt.

Aside from monitoring Himuro Reia and Sakurai Hotaru, any other actions must be taken under the orders of Red Spider.

The other party came this time not because they were angry that he was protecting Himuro Rei and Sakurai Hotaru.

Rather, it was because he caught Valyria and Lisa's eye and left a deep impression on them.

With this happening, the Black Round Table's protection of the Sun Prince will be more effective.

As the acting commander of the Black Round Table, Valyria ordered Starscream to guard Suwahara during this period.

If Duanmu Lian, this clone, doesn't want to be exposed, she can't stay with Suwahara any longer.

After all, the real Zarathustra will eventually come to Suwahara.

"No, you did very well, but your task is now suspended."

Red Spider originally planned to secretly get rid of Duanmu Lian, but after thinking it over, she rejected the idea.

However, Duanmu Lian could no longer stay in Suwahara; he had to move her away.

Ayase Kozo has died in an accident, and Zarathustra's plans have long been shelved and terminated.

Although Starscream still has cloning material, he no longer intends to continue cloning.

Moreover, both Beatrice and Sakurai Kai are dead.

In addition to guarding Suwahara, Red Spiders also received a mission: to train their newest member of the Black Round Table, Sakurai Hotaru.

Valyria promised not to let the little girl become a Death Eater, but they didn't promise not to let her take over the other seats at the Black Round Table.

Perfect timing! After Sakurai Kai's death, his corpse can be used as a zombie soldier.

And the deceased Beatrice needs someone to take her place.

"So, what should I do next?" Duanmu Lian asked.

"We'll talk about it when you're healed."

After leaving those words, Red Spider disappeared from the ward.

He plans to transfer Duanmu Lian to his own company, which has offices in New York and a branch in Japan.

Wherever she goes, Duanmu Lian can no longer stay in Suwahara.

"......"

Duanmu Lian silently gazed at the night view outside the window, her deep, calm eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuation, like a black hole from which no truth could be seen.

The scene before us, and everything that has happened before, is a recurring drama that has been repeated countless times.

When will we finally break through the Eternal Ring of Confinement?

Can his generation achieve this?

Go forth and continue to weave a brand new story.

Duanmu Lian whispered these words to herself within the space.

He has overcome the difficulties and gained a relatively long period of stable development.

Next, he should officially embark on his own path.

.............

Interior view of the space.

In a peach orchard where the spiritual energy was so rich it turned into mist, and a unique fragrance wafted through the air.

A figure walked through the misty spiritual energy.

Upon hearing the voice of another version of herself in the real world, Duanmu Lian paused.

He took a deep breath and continued walking forward until he came to a peach tree, from which he picked a peach that ripened only once every three thousand years.

"Crack!"

Duanmu Lian looked at the peach in her hand, which was slightly larger than her fist, and took a bite out of it.

The moment the fruit split open, an unimaginably rich and fragrant aroma rushed straight into his internal organs and permeated his entire body.

The fragrant peach juice splashed out, but it didn't land on the ground or on us.

Instead, he was controlled by Duanmu Lian's power, and every last drop was eaten and swallowed.

In an instant, a vast amount of immortal energy spread throughout Duanmu Lian's body, reaching every part of her limbs and bones.

At this moment, his vital energy surged and boiled, and his blood and qi transformed into tangible flames that burned on his body surface.

When Duanmu Lian activated the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Tribulation Heavenly Technique, using this immense immortal spiritual energy to repair the damage to her soul, the flames of blood energy on her body gradually subsided.

Once the damage to her soul was completely healed, Duanmu Lian absorbed all the remaining energy into her body, causing it to transform.

"Clang clang clang clang..."

At this moment, the sound of metal clashing emanated from Duanmu Lian's body and acupoints. One acupoint after another was opened up by the vast immortal spiritual energy, constantly absorbing and exhaling the surrounding spiritual energy, which was so dense it resembled mist.

At the same time, Duanmu Lian's teeth and all the hair on her body fell out, only to grow back at an astonishing speed.

Wow!

Looking down and examining her own body, Duanmu Lian discovered that the blood flowing through her body had turned platinum gold.

This is probably due to the changes in his physique caused by the presence of yang and silver energy, as well as the absorption of fragments from the silver comet.

Within his blood, one can clearly sense an aura of supreme yang, unyielding strength, and indestructibility.

"call---"

Duanmu Lian opened his mouth, and a white mist that looked like a blinding white light was sprayed out. Sensing the changes in his spiritual body, a serious look appeared on his face.

At this moment, he took out the golden pages of the book of divine and demonic thought from his person.

He pressed the golden page to his chest, then closed his eyes and communicated and connected with it using the power of his soul.

The moment he established contact with it, the golden pages on his chest transformed into a fluid that flowed into his body through his skin.

And tiny, golden characters began to swirl around Duanmu Lian like a nebula.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

Finally, all these golden characters flowed down Duanmu Lian's head and into the space between his eyebrows.

When all these words flooded into Duanmu Lian's body, his soul and consciousness experienced an explosion as if the universe had been created.

An inner vision, just like the real world, was born that belonged to him.

Inside the scene, Duanmu Lian was somewhat dazed and her consciousness was a little unclear.
