The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

That cold gaze made all the legends feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar in an instant.

He paid no attention to the others, but instead looked at the swordsman whose movements had changed slightly, with his hand unconsciously resting on the hilt of the sword.

Their eyes slowly met.

Chapter 251 Ning Feng and Cecilia's Choice

The swordsman from the courthouse unconsciously gripped the hilt of his sword, as if he had almost drawn it just moments before.

The movement seemed to be waiting for the right moment, or perhaps suppressing an inner impulse.

The pure, sharp aura swirled within a half-meter radius of his body, without affecting the other legends in the slightest.

Cecilia, who holds the title of "Head of Angels," witnessed the entire process of the destruction of the "Sacrificial" Archangel, and she remained silent.

She raised her head, her calm gaze, devoid of emotion, meeting the downward gaze.

Their gazes met.

An atmosphere of danger was spreading between the two.

Kaka.

The barely audible, subtle sounds seemed to symbolize the unbearable pressure that threatened to cause the space between the two people to collapse.

Ning Feng and Cecilia's eyes met, and the space between them shrank infinitely, allowing them to see each other's gazes clearly.

Silver and gold.

Indifference and calm.

Using Ning Feng's body, the Stargazer carefully observed the being who was currently using the identity of the Swordsman.

The Stargazer, who was wielding the sword, was no stranger to Ning Feng; it was she who voluntarily handed over the identity of this Tribunal to Ning Feng.

At the time, she didn't know much more, but she felt that Number Nine had a special feeling about him, a special kind of expectation.

As for what secrets he might have, the stargazers have never delved into it.

Now, having just met Ariana, she has discovered even more incredible things.

Through Ning Feng's perspective, the swordsman revealed what lay beneath his armor.

Like a pair of burning golden eyes, it continuously devoured the surrounding light...

The existence that could produce such an unusual phenomenon has been seen by stargazers in ancient texts.

"So, it was you..."

Yet another being from mythology—what a shocking fact.

These two individuals are actually right next to this prophet!

The stargazer didn't know what this meant, but she understood that the future she saw had become clearer.

Perhaps such a world...

It's not just a vague prophecy! It can actually exist!

In addition, she felt a little more at ease.

That demon wasn't without checks and balances; at least this angel was there... The demon wouldn't so easily take over Ning Feng's body.

As the stargazer and Cecilia locked eyes in silence, Ning Feng, an observer with a peculiar perspective, felt slightly nervous.

Very strange.

This feeling is like, uh, umm...

It's like I've become a jerk, and then inadvertently brought two strong-willed women together at a corner coffee shop...

Correct!

When Jiang Wan and Xi Lin first met by chance, Ning Feng appeared calm on the surface but felt completely at a loss inside.

It wasn't that he was afraid, but rather that he was somewhat unsure how to face this unfolding situation.

When the stargazers made their move, Ning Feng wasn't worried at all, and he didn't even hesitate to speak up.

But at this moment, only when he was truly facing Cecilia, did he remember the thing he could have ignored.

Unlike the previous angel of judgment, who had long since vanished and only retained fragments of his soul and was destined to disappear, this archangel of sacrifice was killed alive by Ning Feng and the Stargazer…

Even before that, Ning Feng had provoked and mocked them with his words.

The archangel chose to sacrifice himself, but his sacrifice was of little significance.

At most, it only made the supernatural beings look a little better at the end, showing their ferocity.

It's a pity that the five saints didn't seize the opportunity to fight back, and didn't try to teach the stargazers a lesson.

The saints' retreat rendered the sacrifice of the archangel meaningless.

Retreat without a fight.

While they did preserve their strength and revealed no details, making it impossible for anyone to discover their identities, it was also a form of cowardice.

Ning Feng also noticed something.

Even if the superhuman beings form an alliance, they are by no means a monolithic entity.

Otherwise, the best solution would have been to launch a fearless attack.

Would Cecilia feel sad and angry about this situation?

Did she and that archangel ever know each other?

Have you ever worked together as siblings?

Have you ever fought for the same ideal?

Ning Feng knew nothing about any of this.

He suddenly realized that he didn't know much more about Cecilia than he did about Ariana.

Even though a special relationship had been established between the two, Ning Feng deliberately avoided exploring it.

He intentionally or unintentionally closed his eyes and covered his ears, choosing not to collect information or conduct any analysis.

Unlike the easy-going Ariana, Cecilia, who appears meticulous, answers every question.

If Ning Feng speaks, he will learn the answer, a great deal of information.

But Ning Feng abandoned this path.

During the time Ariana was asleep, Ning Feng, while not saying he completely avoided communicating with Cecilia, was indeed deliberately avoiding those topics.

About their own fate, about their relationship, about that name...

Ning Feng remained silent, waiting for Cecilia to speak first and for her to decide on an opportune moment.

Neither advancing nor retreating, seemingly distant yet never truly apart.

Under this mode of interaction, the two did not grow distant; on the contrary, their relationship gradually improved, and Cecilia took the initiative to appear in front of Ning's cover more often.

But now, the favorability rating that was finally raised to a friendly level seems about to plummet to rock bottom again.

While others may not know the exact role Ning Feng played in the battle against the sacrificed archangel, Cecilia was certainly aware of it.

She would know when Ning Feng would speak and what choices he would make.

Even after understanding all this, Ning Feng still did not hold back and did not offer any advice to the stargazer.

It wasn't that Ning Feng didn't care about Cecilia's feelings; he did. He certainly didn't want to ruin the hard-won foundation of their relationship over something like this.

But there are some things you can't simply avoid doing just because you don't want to.

The relationship between humans and supernatural beings is a matter of survival for both, leaving him with little energy to concern himself with anything else.

Even if this creates a rift between Cecilia and him, and reopens the cracks in their hard-won relationship...

Faced with the choice between humanity's future and Cecilia, Ning Feng chose the former.

At least for this moment, Cecilia's weight on the scales... is not enough.

Perhaps it was because Ariana was by his side that gave him a little bit of confidence, or perhaps he had already guessed the ending in his heart.

Ning Feng had already made his choice, and now all he had to do was face the consequences of it.

The two stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity, yet it also felt like a fleeting moment, a moment that felt incredibly long.

Thoughts, feelings, intentions... the two of them seemed to connect in an instant and then quickly separate.

silence.

The staring contest gradually lengthened, and the shocked legends sensed something amiss, secretly glancing at the swordsman as they pondered what would happen next.

Clang.

The simple longsword was drawn from its scabbard, its silver blade almost blending into the wielder's armor.

Ning Feng watched Cecilia's actions with some emotion and regret, but ultimately he couldn't accept it.

In the end, you still chose this attitude.

That makes sense, after all, you are a supernatural being...

Ning Feng lowered his eyes and slowly closed them; he didn't want to look any longer.

Hehe~

!

!

A teasing voice suddenly interrupted Ning Feng's thoughts, and a pair of warm arms passionately wrapped around Ning Feng's neck from behind, and then...

They moved upwards and pried open Ning Feng's eyelids, forcing him to widen his eyes.

???

What the hell are you doing?!

?

Let me go!
