The armor summoner will not be involved in the event

"Four people."

"Wrong - it's zero! Because there is no one, hahahaha!"

"..."

"just kidding."

As if his face changed, Yang Pojun's laughter was instantly stopped.

"How did you guess that?"

"You were the one who openly insulted that brother and sister, Qianbian... He now looks like he's their bodyguard, and it would be a slap in the face for his employer to remain indifferent to being treated like this. Although you promised me not to kill him, you didn't promise me not to do anything else. Based on your attitude towards the Red World Cult, and your 'browsing history' that I saw... It's hard not to suspect that you will want to torture him to find out what he loves deeply, and then use that to insult him in the ultimate way."

"And the fourth one?"

"You have never concealed your ill will towards me."

"clever."

Yang Pojun applauded the Red World Demon King.

"You are very self-aware, Weiwu."

"It feels really strange to be called [Weiwu] by you when you clearly hate [Yang Weiwu]."

"So you want a new name?"

"No, I think this name is good. Crimson World people still have to protect themselves when they go out."

"Then answer your question. I plan to make him tell me who is the 'person' he loves the most. If it's a human, let him be killed by him. If it's a member of the Red World, let him kill him. Although the steps are much simpler, it is more likely to make him angry than to break his will... But I think his expression will become very interesting if that happens."

Whether it was a smile or a speech, the Sacrifice Snake felt that the other party was the villain compared to itself, whose flames were pitch black and gave people a sense of foreboding.

"However, I was barely able to enjoy the pleasure of that brother and sister, so I will just stop for now and let Xiu Denan go."

"I was surprised to learn his name."

"After all, he's the guy who can make me take him a little seriously (only when he's not wearing armor). I still have a little respect for him, even if it's not much."

Yang Pojun touched the black snake-shaped earring on his right ear.

That is the sacred tool that the sacrificial snake uses to convey its will, and it is named [Holy Hearing].

It is a relatively Chinese-style name. If you ignore the meaning, he thinks it sounds better than "Kakutusi".

"Let's go back, it's almost time."

……

Between the roofless thrones in the consciousness, the emperors who shared the same body were conversing.

[Senior, is it really okay for you to pass on what his Yin soul saw and heard to his Yang soul? I feel miserable when I am scolded by my past self.]

【Who are you referring to? 】

[Hahaha, I can’t say. But before I became Emperor Man, I was the kind of person who liked to explore ruins and see the unique history of various civilizations. Out of interest, I found a fragmentary record that recorded a noble person being abused by myself who traveled from the future.]

[Okay, you can shut up now.]

[Eh, Senior, you wouldn’t…]

[You know, Emperor, after every Emperor becomes the Shadow Emperor, their consciousness is not immediately covered. Depending on the tempering of their own experiences and the time they spend giving up the desire to live, this process can take anywhere from one day to three thousand years.]

What is sharpening?

[Because the “seniors” have a bad relationship with their juniors, in order to “reconcile” the two sides, they pass on their own failure experiences to the juniors, so that the juniors can fully empathize with them in the first person. This is the tempering. ]

[I think we can talk about other things, such as Yang Pojun and the sacrificial snake.]

【What is there to talk about? 】

The Shadow Emperor knew everything about the sacrificial snake, including the fact that it was one of the three pillar gods in the Red World and was in charge of the power of creation.

[What's your reason for helping that snake? You were supposed to make Yang Pojun an Emperor Warrior, so it makes no sense for him to become a Fire Mist Warrior.]

【It's meaningless? Emperors of one generation after another have engraved their life's will on this armor in different forms. The first generation's wood, the second generation's fire, the third generation's... to the fifth generation's water, this is the five elements. The sixth to thirteenth generations integrated into the eight trigrams, and the fourteenth to fifteenth generations formed the two opposite forces, and then to you, the sixteenth, the "Absolute Special Attack". 】

[Each generation of emperors has their existence engraved on the emperor's armor forever, but you said that his experience of becoming a fire mist warrior is meaningless... In your eyes, what is the so-called meaning? ]

Faced with Shadow Emperor's questions, Emperor Man felt no nervousness at all.

【The final battle before death, after all, the battles before the death of the fifteen predecessors I know all restarted the universe, perfected the balance rule called Heaven's Way, and left traces of the universe before the restart on the armor. Speaking of which, you didn't even tell him that the inheritance of Emperor Man requires not wearing the Emperor Armor to sharpen oneself to the point of being able to "surpass Emperor Man to some extent", and you asked him to become a Fire Mist Warrior. It has been confirmed that the power of existence is a type that is immune. 】

Facing the emperor, the Shadow Emperor's reply seemed completely irrelevant.

[I have a guess that the experience of Yang Pojun becoming Yang Weiwu, which I can't find at all, may be glimpsed through this method.]

[What's the point of taking a peek at that? Aren't you just an old thing that died a long time ago? Why bother to think about leaving something for future generations and finding a successor?]

[If "I" wasn't the Shadow Emperor, but was still the Emperor, I wouldn't think about that. But in the final analysis, the me now is closer to a "maintenance tool" than the "former Emperor." ]

If he still had a body now, Emperor Xia would really like to rub his face to ease his mood.

[So, my caring remarks there are nothing more than insults to you? If you still have any concept of personality.]

【maybe.】

Come to think of it, how many people were finally... insulted today?

The Emperor pondered.

……

When Yang Pojun returned to the cave, he saw four young men who had fainted after working for six hours, a blond boy who looked unrecognizable, and Xiu Denan who had been hung up there.

"Is there something missing?"

After canceling the magnetic field energy covering Xiudenan's mouth, Yang Pojun asked him:

"Where's that woman?"

"..."

The silver-haired middle-aged man looked at him speechlessly.

“【Reply...】”

"It's burnt out."

"Burned out?"

"Because of her extremely strong will, she violated the iron rule that one must consume the power of existence in order to exert power in this world, and burned up her own essence."

"So," Yang Pojun looked at him with interest, "did she do anything?"

“…She managed to burn out.”

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"I thought she was going to do something great, but this is all she got?"

"For Shirajiro back then, if he had the ability to commit suicide, he would probably have chosen to do so in order to avoid further humiliation."

"I think your simple guess about a man who has been tortured by four big guys for three months but still has an unyielding look is too one-sided."

Although it is very likely.

"In this case, the humiliation that was prepared for that person won't be necessary, right?"

Yang Pojun looked disappointed.

"Did you think I would say that?"

A heavy side kick hit Xiu Denan's crotch viciously.

"Goo-"

"Do you think that it's just a temporary free method, and I will be blind and unable to see that the chains on the two of them have disappeared?"

Yang Pojun sneered and kept hitting Xiu Denan's crotch once every three seconds.

"She is a brainless idiot. She saw that her brother was completely hopeless, but she still wanted to save him. If she had such thoughts, even I should admit that her emotions are no different from those of humans."

"But in the final analysis, if she really wants to prove something to me, judging by the way her brother is now, her love is nothing but a joke."

He looked at the figure who once had the name Surat and gave him a new name.

"Ajin, come here."

Surat... No, Ajin crawled over like a dog.

"Mr. Xiudenan bit me and pulled the flag."

Ajin's hand touched Xiu Denan's belt and began to untie it.

"what are you going to do?!"

"I'll punish you for trying to deceive me."

After saying that, Yang Pojun ignored Xiu Denan's screams and walked towards the four young men on the ground.

Each of the young men, who had reached the climax more than twenty times, had their bodies covered with a light red liquid. It was hard to tell whether it was Ah Jin's or that filthy substance mixed with their own blood.

"After you wake up, the previous [Domination] will continue to operate. You should start a new life."

The pitch-black flames wrapped around the four people, weaving into clothes.

Yang Pojun lifted the four people up with telekinesis, returned to Misaki City, put them in an empty alley, and then came back.

By chance, he witnessed Ajin swallowing a hot dog.

"You bit it right off... Xiu Denan, how do you feel now? How do you feel?"

"you this……"

"That's enough."

A deep voice interrupted Xiu Denan's words.

"I didn't kill him."

"You said earlier that you enjoyed yourself."

"Now I'm in the mood again, isn't it?"

"Xiu Denan is necessary for me to create the world."

"Tell me about its specific uses."

"It is true that I am here in my true form, but in order to truly exert the power of creation that is sufficient to create the world, a priestess must perform a sacrifice and complete the complete [Ritual Creation]. Only in this way can my divine power, which is the embodiment of part of the rules of the Red World, be guided to this world. The ritual creation that you forcibly completed with the huge power of existence was only a very low-level free method of stimulating power, which is not enough to create the world."

"Then...if the miko dies, will you be unable to create the world?"

"The priestess was born out of the good wishes of the people of the Red World. Although I did create her in the beginning, she will be resurrected sooner or later because of the wishes of the people of the Red World."

"What does that have to do with Xiu De Nan?"

"He will keep resurrecting to protect the miko."

"It is really a waste of his talent to humiliate him like this."

Yang Pojun snapped his fingers and removed the chains that bound Xiu Denan.

"Let me see if there is a better way to use him. Please give me your advice, Qianbian."

【186】Valentine's Day

2 month 14 day.

Valentine's Day, or Saint Valentine's Day.

This is a place named in honor of Valentine...

【skip】

"That is, I plan to make a handmade chocolate to thank Emperor Yan."

Tiangong Ziyin said.

"If I remember correctly, according to the culture of this country, women would give chocolates to men on this day to express their gratitude or love, and men would give them chocolates in return, maybe for the next month or something."

Shana said.
