Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

Jiang Jiu remained silent.

Polka looked into his eyes and said calmly, "You're too kind."

Chapter 202 This sword strike was to avenge the Black Tower.

"kindness?"

Jiang Jiu tilted his head, puzzled. "You mean... me?"

“You believe that Chi Ming is innocent, so you let Fang Hu Xian Zhou go, and you didn’t lay a hand on Ruan Mei because of your girlfriend.”

“You gave them chance after chance on the Immortal Ship, until they drove themselves into a dead end.”

She looked at Jiang Jiu, but there was no mockery in her eyes; she simply stated her opinion in an almost indifferent manner.

"You think this is kindness."

"But in my eyes, this is cruelty to myself."

Jiang Jiu calmly looked at Polka Kakamu, listened for a moment, thought for a moment, and nodded as a response.

"Oh, I thought you were going to say something like 'stupid,' so is there anything else?"

It was clear that Jiang Jiu didn't seem to want to talk to him, but Polka Kakamu wasn't too angry. After all, what genius isn't proud and arrogant?

Not to mention someone like Shi Jin.

"There's no need for that attitude; our positions aren't hostile."

“They can’t really be considered allies.” Jiang Jiu interrupted Polka Kakamu, his eyes devoid of emotion, but his tone was not friendly.

"Because I once laid a hand on the Black Tower?"

Jiang Jiu was silent for two seconds, then clicked his tongue: "You know that, yet you still dare to show your face in front of me? Your Omniscience Domain is useless against me. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

After Jiang Jiu finished speaking, Polka Kakamu did not show any obvious reaction. She looked at him, her eyes still calm, as if she had heard words she expected.

A barely perceptible smile curved her lips: "Shi Jin, do you think I'm afraid of death? Or... do you really think you have the ability to kill me?"

Jiang Jiu held the sword in one hand, feeling a bit annoyed.

"Do other geniuses know that you, this so-called genius assassin, are so talkative?"

Polka Kakamu: "You won't kill me."

Jiang Jiu nodded, then asked curiously, "Are you so sure?"

“Perhaps you think I have no ill intentions toward you,” Polka Kaka said. “That attack just now was just a test, not an assassination. I’ve taken care of Ruan Mei’s matter for you. As for the breeding fragments and the Fanghu Immortal Boat, I’ve cleaned up the mess for you.”

She looked at him.

"Can you do these things?"

Jiang Jiu was silent for a second, then suddenly laughed, though there was no real smile in his eyes as he looked at Polka Kakamu.

"Are you done talking?"

Polka did not speak.

The next second, Jiang Jiu's figure disappeared from the spot.

Black Tower only saw a dark purple streak of light flash by, followed by a violent energy collision!

boom......!!!

Polka slid backward dozens of meters, leaving two deep tracks in the void beneath her feet. The scalpel in her hand was held horizontally in front of her, with traces of the void's erosion still remaining on its blade.

Jiang Jiu stood where she had just been; the light on the Lonely Star Sword had not yet faded.

"This sword strike is to avenge the Black Tower."

Polka glanced down at the ethereal marks on the blade, flicked it twice to reduce some of the ethereal erosion, and then looked up.

“Not bad,” she said with a hint of approval, “faster than I expected.”

Jiang Jiu: "..."

Jiang Jiu gave her no chance to catch her breath; in the blink of an eye, the second sword strike had arrived.

The three forces of destiny briefly intertwined, forming an almost unstoppable force.

Polka's eyes finally became more serious.

Jiang Jiu swung his sword twice but did not continue the pursuit. Polka Kaka was indeed very strong, but neither of them used their full strength.

"The Omniscient Realm and the Law of Causality seem to have no effect on me. Are you curious about that?"

Polka Kaka shook his head: "I'm more curious about your past than these things."

After pausing for two seconds, Jiang Jiu sheathed his sword and returned to Black Tower's side.

Polka also lowered his hand.

The two faced off for a few seconds before Jiang Jiu spoke.

"You go."

Polka Kaka stared at him without saying a word.

Jiang Jiu put the sword away.

“You’re right, I won’t kill you,” he said, “not because I’m afraid of you, and probably not because I can’t beat you.”

He paused.

"It's because some of what you said is true."

kindness.

But it's less about kindness and more about the remaining conscience in this world.

He is saving the world, not killing it.

If he doesn't even have the most basic conscience, then what is he doing...? Wasting time, energy, and even his life to save some insignificant insects?

That's not how you should think.

and......

If one day he really stops caring about anything, will he still be himself?

"Shi Jin, you're really interesting."

After saying that, she turned around and spoke one last time before leaving.

"But some things, if you want to do them to the extreme, you have to be ruthless."

"Kindness is good, but for you, it will probably only make you die a few more times."

"Maybe you don't care, but what about those who care about you..."

She paused.

"Think about them."

After saying that, her figure disappeared into the void.

The streets returned to silence.

Polka Kakamu didn't ask Jiang Jiu about how to be resurrected in another way after death, or how to regain the strength of the past, but he could probably guess some of it.

...This world is still too far-fetched. Immortality is not difficult, and the ability to resurrect or even go back to the past can be easily accepted.

Hei Ta walked over and gently took his hand: "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "I'm thinking... The ability to go back to the past after death and change the future is very similar to the ability of the end times."

Black Tower: "...?"

Why is what she's thinking about not quite the same as she imagined?

However, Jiang Jiu seemed to be thinking very seriously, so Hei Ta also pondered for a moment.

"It is said that the last king has the ability to go against the tides, which is indeed somewhat similar to what you said."

"...That's really surprising."

Looking back on his journey, Jiang Jiu couldn't help but sigh at one thing.

The end.

From the moment he came into this world, he had the option to access the end times.

He did not choose the end.

But every step he took could no longer be separated from the end.

Is this damned fate really so ever-present?

"Let's go. Fanghu is probably out of danger. Let's do a quick check and then leave."

Are you looking for someone from the company?

Jiang Jiu neither said yes nor no.

Who knows if that guy killed everyone when he made his move?

"Actually, I don't consider myself a good person, and I never expected anyone to use the word 'kind' to describe me."

"Who do you think would resort to any means necessary?" Black Tower simply threw the question back at him.

"what?"

"People who value their goals more than their own lives, such as Nguyen Mai, Zandal, and the Silent Lord..."

Black Tower paused.

"And you."

Jiang Jiu paused for two seconds, then said helplessly, "I don't count. At least I can't afford to sacrifice the whole world for something."

Chapter 203 Life That Cannot Be Discovered

Jiang Jiu and Heita finally found the three reconnaissance ships sent by the company in a remote corner.
