Talulah, I'm still a child.

Reaching out to Mei Xue's waist, Talulah lifted the little fox high in the air.

"Now you're taller than me!"

"Ugh... Sister, let go! I'm a big fox now! I can't act like a child!"

As always, the little fox struggled with both hands and feet. When he said he was a big fox, Talulah subconsciously looked down along Mei Xue's lower abdomen and saw a fluffy tail that just happened to cover that spot.

Want to see? Who do you think you are? Get lost!

"Alright, alright, but Mei Xue, shouldn't you explain what happened tonight to me?"

Gently rubbing Mei Xue's head, Talulah kissed her, waiting for her lover to answer her questions.

"These... um, sister, you should remember that I can grant other people's wishes, right?"

"of course I remember."

Talulah nodded, but she also remembered that every time Meixue fulfilled someone else's wish, she had to pay an extremely high price.

"So this time, I also want to fulfill a wish."

The little fox buried its head in Talulah's arms.

Chapter 136 The Doctor is also a formidable fighter.

The sudden change in the sky immediately mobilized the rulers of the royal court. Considering the level involved, the Sarkaz warriors were not qualified to participate, so Theresis only summoned the royal court.

The shapeshifters and others were mobilized immediately.

However, just as they were about to head to the Shattered Building, the flames on the roof suddenly went out. But just as Theresis and the others were about to check the situation, Dr. A. stood in front of them with Amiya and Ascalon.

"Hey everyone, good evening! Still awake?"

The Doctor subtly shielded Amiya behind her, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, making it hard not to wonder if she had some ulterior motive.

"...What are you doing here?"

Therese frowned slightly. He had tacitly approved of the Doctor and the group from Rhodes Island because Mei Xue was being overly protective of her own, and the fighting strength of the group the Doctor brought was a bit too strong.

However, this does not mean that the two sides can put aside their past grudges. Theresis had known for a long time that Amiya and Theresia would meet, and he had made preparations for it. He just didn't understand why the Doctor would bring Amiya here at this time, and besides the two of them, he only brought Ascalon.

Judging from the comparison of the two sides' combat power, unless Amiya has a way to fully master the power belonging to the Demon King that Theresa left her, this is tantamount to throwing herself to her death.

Of course, this is on the premise that the other party makes the first move. Otherwise, Therese cannot take the initiative to attack. Mei Xue understands that he will not sit idly by and wait to be killed, but she will not allow him to make the first move.

"It's nothing, I just came to talk to you all about cooperation. The things that are coming up are quite important, and we can't rely on Rhodes Island's strength alone. After all, many of us are Mei Xue's familiars."

Reaching out, the Doctor gently patted Amiya's head to indicate that she didn't need to worry. Looking at the group of people in front of her, the shapeshifters and scavengers were in a state of observation regarding Amiya. They had been around long enough and wouldn't get stuck in their obsessions. They didn't have much dissatisfaction with the alien inheritor. Rather, they wanted to see whether Amiya's crown would bring destruction or rebirth.

"cooperate?"

"Yes, cooperation is necessary. If we don't cooperate, neither you nor we will likely see the sun rise tomorrow."

With her fingers twirling a strand of hair, the Doctor spoke in an exceptionally casual tone. Aside from Kal'tsit and Meixue, she was usually a nobody when facing others. Even though there was a dangerous person like Theresis in front of her, she didn't feel afraid at all. Behind her... oh, behind her now is Amiya.

"What's the reason?"

"It's very simple. See those beams of light? My little husband made them. When they go out, the ground beneath our feet will probably explode with a bang and take us all to the sky."

With a gesture, the doctor exaggeratedly simulated the scene, then took out a bag of red liquid from her pocket, unsealed it, and started sucking on the straw.

"If we cooperate, we should be able to stop Mei Xue before she makes a move. Of course, you can choose not to cooperate, but I can assure you that you will not survive."

Perhaps angered by the Doctor's frivolous attitude and words, or perhaps he simply disliked her, the arrogant and conceited Blood Demon Lord was the first to strike. Blood, like a living venomous snake, shot out from under his feet and pounced on the Doctor at an extremely fast speed.

He was confident that when his blood touched the Doctor, he would turn her into his puppet within seconds. Of course, he would prefer to drain the Doctor's blood completely.

Amiya and Ascalon, of course, could not stand idly by and watch such a thing happen. However, before they could make a move, Theresa, who was standing beside Theresis, took action. She slightly beckoned, and the Blood Demon Lord's Blood Servant instantly collapsed to the ground, losing all vitality and appearing to be nothing more than a pool of blood. Clearly, neither of them wanted to provoke Mei Xue.

As for Theresa, even though she had become the embodiment of the Sarkaz will and her heart was filled with compassion and anger, she still did not want the Doctor or Amiya to get hurt. This had nothing to do with Mei Xue; it was just her personal opinion.

"Although I knew long ago that the Blood Demon Lord was the most impatient one, I didn't expect you to actually dare to make a move. Alright then."

The doctor rubbed her hands together, unbuttoned her clothes, took off her Rhodes Island uniform jacket and tossed it to Ascalon. She then cracked her neck, making a popping sound like popping beans.

"It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles. Let's have a fight. All of you come at me together. As for me... I can manage on my own."

"PhD!"

Ignoring the "Is this guy out of his mind?" expressions on Theresis and the others' faces, Amiya was so frightened by the Doctor's words that she almost lost her soul. She had known the Doctor for so many years and had never seen him fight with anyone. You have to know that from the time of Babel Tower to the time of Rhodes Island, the Doctor's identity was always that of a commander and scholar, never a combatant.

The little rabbit's ears perked up in fear. She could handle one Blood Demon Lord, but in the current situation, Amiya had no choice but to let Ascalon take the Doctor away while she held off everyone else.

"Don't worry, Amiya. I may do some silly things sometimes, but do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to court death?"

"I think it's very similar, after all, Doctor, you have no idea how many times you've made Dr. Kal'tsit angry."

Amiya couldn't help but complain. No matter how you looked at it, the Doctor seemed like she was thinking of committing suicide. Otherwise, there was no way to explain her behavior. Amiya only agreed to let her come here to cooperate with Theresa and the others because she trusted the Doctor, but now... there was a big problem.

"So this is how you see me... Oh well, I wasn't joking. Although I don't really want it to be this way, it's just how it is."

"I'll beat you into submission first, and then we can talk about cooperation properly. I know you're worried that Mei Xue will protect her own, so you won't take the initiative to make a move. Oh, except for that mentally unstable old red-eyed person."

As she spoke, the Doctor straightened her clothes, wrapped her sleeves, unbuttoned the top two buttons of her collar, and then put her hand on Amiya's shoulder. Overwhelmed with nervousness and worried that the other party would attack her directly, the little rabbit didn't care about anything else. Magic flowed in her hands, and a jet-black crown appeared on her head. It wasn't large, but it had an undeniable aura.

When the Black Crown appeared, the eyes of both the Shapeshifters and the King of Carrion were focused on Amiya. They nodded slightly when they saw that she had not been swallowed up by this power. Even with the suppression measures left by Theresa, Amiya's performance could be considered satisfactory.

However, that was not enough. The churning blood beneath the Blood Demon Lord's feet proved his rage. He could not defeat Mei Xue, but he did not believe that this heir of another race could be his match. The Blood Clan once possessed that crown, and now he would take it back.

Theresis and Theresia reacted the calmest, even though the latter's mind was filled with the angry roars of the Sarkaz souls, who cursed the alien demon king and believed she was unworthy to hold the crown. All the Sarkaz, including Amiya who held the crown, could hear the powerful oppressive aura of the Sarkaz souls entrenched in the city of Londinium.

"Ugh, this is so annoying. All this arguing is driving me crazy...tsk..."

The Doctor picked at her ear in a rather uncouth manner, looking displeased. However, her words caused Theresa and Amiya to be momentarily confused. When they realized what this meant, the Doctor placed her hand on the black crown.

The Sarkaz's rage and curses were a sound that only the Sarkaz could hear, yet the Doctor heard them and felt no pressure or discomfort whatsoever.

"What do you mean by your Demon King's Authority? That's shameless. Also, don't call it the Black Crown. We've said before that the name sounds like a boring historical drama."

With her index finger and thumb gently pinching the side of the black crown, the Doctor easily removed it from Amiya's head, as effortlessly as blowing away willow catkins that had drifted onto a desk in spring. The whole process was completely effortless.

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone, including Theresa. The blood beneath the Blood Lord's feet even stopped pulsating, and Ascalon lost his grip and dropped the Doctor's coat to the ground.

"Hey?"

Amiya, whose crown had been removed, hadn't even realized what was happening when she saw Theresis and the others staring at the Doctor as if they'd seen a ghost. So she looked at the Doctor and saw the black crown on the Doctor's head.

"Ugh!"

Amiya subconsciously touched her head and found that there was nothing left on it except for a pair of long ears. However, she could still use the Demon Lord's power normally. No, how did the Doctor remove her internet cafe?

"Don't be surprised, Amiya. Didn't I tell you? I also have quite a few secrets."

As she put on the black crown, a familiar feeling welled up from the bottom of her heart. In the Doctor's eyes, many dark dead souls appeared, which were the embodiment of the hatred and resentment of the Sarkaz souls. However, the Doctor only sensed them for a moment and finally nodded after confirming that there was no problem.

Then, the Doctor raised her hand, gave the middle finger to the dark cloud composed of Sarkaz souls, and showed a disdainful expression.

"This is impossible... It's one thing for that alien heir to wear this crown, but how could you possibly wear it?"

This seemed to be beyond the understanding of the Pardoner. He rarely lost his composure like this. His intuition told him that the Doctor might have more secrets than they had previously imagined. At least before the Doctor, no one could take off the Black Crown so casually. Each Demon King could only truly inherit it after the death of the previous one.

"It's very simple. This crown isn't actually a crown; it just happened to grow into the shape of one."

Dark magical energy surged from her fingertips, spreading from the Doctor's hand to her entire body. It first adhered to her skin like a tattoo, then spread out, transforming into something like armor.

The energy extended outwards and transformed in the Doctor's hand into a cyan greatsword with red patterns, looking exactly like Surtr's Levadin.

"Because the DWDB-221E was too mediocre, we also gave it names such as Black Crown, Destiny, and Truth of the World, but later... I usually call it 'The Survival of Civilization'."

Having said all that, if Theresis and the others still couldn't guess the connection between the Doctor and this black crown, they would truly be foolish. However, they still felt their worldview being shaken. This crown's history was equal to or even longer than that of the Sarkaz. If the Doctor was one of its creators, then her age was simply... ugh.

"I have a feeling you're thinking something very rude. Don't think of me as an old woman like Kal'tsit."

Raising her sword, the Doctor faced the Sarkaz royal court before her. As one of the former developers, the Doctor knew exactly how to use this black crown and the power stored within it. Apart from the power left behind by the Sarkaz Demon Lords of past generations, there was something even more important: the small part belonging to Mei Xue. That was the fundamental reason why the Doctor was able to remove it so easily.

Now, the situation has changed for the second time.

"Ascalon, protect Amiya."

"it is good……"

If the Doctor hadn't said those words herself, Ascaron would probably have been stunned for a while longer. She felt that everything that had happened tonight was a bombardment of her values. Was the Doctor's identity really that shocking?

Although she still possessed power, Amiya's strength was insufficient to participate against the royal court and Theresa. The Doctor flicked her wrist, and blue flames instantly ignited on the greatsword that resembled Levadin.

"Let me make this clear first: I'm not good at fighting, so... don't blame me if I die!"

——————————————————————————————————————

"Well, Doctor did it after all. If we had dragged Theresis and the others into it, then... we would have had to balance the fighting power. Mostima and Lappland are both on my side."

Sensing the fluctuations occurring inside Londinium, Mei Xue flicked her tail and stood on the top floor of the shattered building. It was as if nothing had happened here; the traces of the flames and lava had disappeared, and it could even be said that everything was intact.

Mei Xue looked at the four pillars of aurora shooting into the sky and reached out her hand towards the sky.

"That way, there's no need to hide it anymore."

"Doctor, I'll be waiting for you."

Chapter 137 Mei Xue, Taken Hostage

"What will the world be like from now on...?"

"You do not know?"

Waving a palm-leaf fan, the elderly man with white hair and beard walked unsteadily onto the Forgotten Water Platform. Looking at the Nine-Colored Deer and the pillar of light, which was a thousand meters thick, right in front of him, Bai Dingshan couldn't help but sigh. He could certainly feel how much energy was contained within it.

Everyone says that spring is warm and flowers are in bloom, but the energy that is released alone is enough to drive all things to grow faster. Seeds planted in early spring mature in no time. Spring brings autumn harvest, which is truly remarkable.

If this energy hadn't been directed upwards...

Chapter 138 Plum Blossom and Snow's Conquest! Awooo!

So what exactly is going on now?

Croissant was completely bewildered. Everything that happened tonight was too sudden, without any warning. First, there were those pillars of light rising from the ground, then the fire in the shattered building, and then there was that girl who looked just like Mei Xue but had completely different hair color, as mentioned by Nian and the others.

What is that, Mei Xue Alter? But this is Arknights, not FGO next door.

This series of accidents was so overwhelming that it was hard for people to process it all. The key issue was that they didn't know much and had no way of figuring out what was going on.
