Just a magical girl who picks up trash

However, in the end, Shi Lei's safety still triumphed over the so-called contract. Yu Huan immediately looked at Sheng Yin and asked seriously. Sheng Yin did not perfunctorily or lie, but gave an honest answer:

"I can't guarantee that, because I've never tried to make the clone's will completely independent of me, so I can't guarantee success!"

The essence of Holy Silver is that all orders are one, one is a hundred, a hundred is one, and there is no so-called "independence" between them. Therefore, although her idea is to let Shi Lei become her clone and then become independent, in fact, even she cannot guarantee the success of such a thing. After all, this is the nature and instinct, and it is not something she can decide.

"..."

Honestly speaking, Yu Huan couldn't find any reason to be angry about Sheng Yin's honest attitude. She could "see" that when he said this method, it was indeed for Shi Lei's good. In fact, when Shi Lei's safety was concerned, Yu Huan naturally couldn't trust the enemy casually. Therefore, since Sheng Yin appeared, Yu Huan had actually been activating her abilities.

And the results showed that... Shengyin had no ill intentions!

So how did that later, malevolent, dark, and utterly devoid of light, Silver come to be? What happened to Saint Silver after that?

Such a question appeared in Yu Huan's mind again, but it was fleeting. Now was not the time to pay attention to it.

"What are the other two options?"

Shengyin said there were three methods. Yuhuan was undoubtedly more resistant to the first method and it could not be guaranteed to be 100% feasible. Therefore, Yuhuan could only hope that the latter two methods would have some effect.

however……

"Option 2: Kill me!"

"What?"

The sudden simple words made Yu Huan stunned. He blinked and looked at Sheng Yin in disbelief as he said these words so calmly.

"Are you joking?"

Killing Shengyin would save Shi Lei? Honestly, if that were true, Yu Huan would definitely show no mercy... Of course, this refers to the Baiyin who wanted to devour the world and himself, but the one in front of him... Honestly, Yu Huan really couldn't bring himself to do it!

It was not for any other reason, but simply because she did not feel the kind of madness, destructiveness, and desire for destruction that Baiyin would have a thousand years later in the other person!

"Rebuttal: I never joke!"

Facing Yu Huan's words, Sheng Yin once again gave an unsatisfactory response, and he immediately said:

"Your magic and my power cannot coexist. I have determined that the best solution is to eliminate one of them. Kill me, and my holy silver clone will dissipate, and my daughter will be safe!"

To put it bluntly, if the magic power is not eliminated, then the power of silver must be eliminated. Although that thing has already merged with Shi Lei, if the origin (holy silver) is directly eliminated, then she as a clone will naturally disappear... That's roughly what it means!

“…That’s exactly what I meant!”

Sheng Yin expressed this idea frankly. It was obvious that she had developed feelings for Shi Lei and treated Shi Lei as her own daughter. For Shi Lei's safety, she really intended to use her own death in exchange for Shi Lei's new life.

however……

"I'm sorry, if you were my enemy, I wouldn't hesitate, but with your attitude right now, I honestly can't do such a thing!"

Yu Huan expressed his thoughts sincerely... It is true that Baiyin is his enemy, but not to mention that the Shengyin in front of him had nothing to do with him a thousand years ago, just based on the other party's willingness to sacrifice himself for Shi Lei and the fact that the other party has not shown any malice towards him so far, Yu Huan could not really attack the other party.

After all, even though she was just boasting, she was still a Kamen Rider who fought for love and peace, so she would naturally not attack innocent people.

Today's Sheng Yin... is an innocent person!

"There are two options. One is to give up magic power, and the other is to give up the power of silver. After all, there's nothing to give up for the third one, right? So, tell me... What is the third option?"

Without a second thought, she rejected the first two options. Not to mention that both the first and second options were things she was unwilling to do, Shi Lei would definitely not agree to these two options. After all, Yu Huan was undoubtedly the most important person in Shi Lei's heart, and although they had only known each other for a short time, Sheng Yin had taken care of her for more than ten years after she regained her memory.

Obviously, Shi Lei didn't want anything to go wrong with either of these two options, so neither plan was feasible at all.

Furthermore...

"Even though it was just your clone, it was still someone I had a close relationship with. How could I really let you die?"

After Shengyin's explanation, Yuhuan now undoubtedly knows very well who that guy is that appears from Xiaolei from time to time... There is no doubt that it is just as the other party said, not another soul or spiritual body of Shilei, but Shengyin's clone sealed in Shilei's body.

Because the seal was leaked, he barely escaped from it. And because he sensed Shi Lei's love for him, he also accidentally developed "feelings" for himself. So everything seemed to fall into place naturally...

Okay, stop!

At least now is not the time to consider these questions. After muttering this under his breath, Yu Huan immediately looked at Sheng Yin, waiting for his final plan. The answer Sheng Yin gave was also very simple:

"Plan Three: Seal!"

172. One more thing

"Seal? Continue to seal your clone in Xiaolei's body?"

Hearing Shengyin's words, Yuhuan frowned slightly. Compared to the previous two methods, this method was undoubtedly the best outcome. However, when he thought about sealing that guy, who he had only met a few times but whose lively personality showed that he couldn't stand loneliness, Yuhuan felt that sealing him again was a bit...

"Additional explanation: That's not the case!"

Before Yu Huan could reveal any idea, Sheng Yin had already unilaterally rejected Yu Huan's idea and immediately explained:

"Because my daughter is an ordinary human, her body cannot absorb and adapt to two such overwhelming powers. In this case, we will give her time to adapt and seal them completely. Once her power and body have fully adapted, we will remove the seal and the crisis will be averted!"

Sheng Yin's explanation immediately made Yu Huan's brows furrow even more tightly.

"You mean... to seal Xiaolei away completely? Until she can adapt to and control the power of both the magical girl and the power of the Holy Silver? But how many years will that take?"

If it were one or two years, it would be fine, but Yu Huan was obviously very clear about how powerful these two forces were, so think about it... it definitely wouldn't be such a simple matter!

"Answer: Rough estimate: more than a thousand years!"

really!

Hearing Shengyin's answer, Yuhuan's first reaction was actually "Are you kidding me?", but then he suddenly realized:

"Wait, wait, is this a coincidence? Why exactly a thousand years? Did you calculate this in advance?"

You have to know that I came here a thousand years later. I was thinking about whether I should take Shi Lei and Shui Meng with me when I go back after doing this. But now, if I want Shi Lei to be safe, I have to seal her for a thousand years... Why do I always feel that all this is as if it was calculated?

"Answer: What I said is true. This is just an estimate!"

The honest Sheng Yin would not lie, which immediately made Yu Huan fall into silence. After learning about the relationship between Yu Huan and Shi Lei, Sheng Yin seemed to have directly handed the decision-making power to her. He just looked at Yu Huan silently and waited for her answer.

However, none of the three options is a good choice!

The first thing to do is to terminate the contract with Xiaolei. Putting aside other things, even if it is terminated, it is possible that he will be directly swallowed by the power of Holy Silver. The danger is too great!

The second one undoubtedly did her no harm at all. On the contrary, destroying the Holy Silver might bring clarity to future generations.

However, her true nature prevented her from doing such a thing!

Then there's the third one... which is the most appropriate solution at the moment. However, sealing Xiaolei for a thousand years...

"Wow~~ This is so hard to choose... I hate these kinds of multiple-choice questions!"

Yu Huan uttered these capricious words, but nothing in this world was perfect. After scratching her head in frustration, she immediately looked at Sheng Yin with a resentful gaze. Seeing Sheng Yin tilt his head with a puzzled expression, she muttered to herself, more like a complaint than a venomous one:

"It would be great if you were truly evil. I could just eliminate you, Xiaolei, and we'd be safe. But for some reason, you're completely different from the Baiyin I met before. Not only do you not have the slightest hostility towards me, but... really, why do you have to act so innocent? How can anyone kill you?"

Especially looking at Shengyin's cute expression with his head tilted, Yuhuan obviously couldn't bring himself to do it no matter what. In the end, he could only stamp his feet harder and suddenly change the subject like a little girl avoiding a question:

"So...how long does Xiaolei have? When will she wake up?"

It is obviously better to let Xiaolei decide on her own about this matter. Although Yuhuan can guarantee that his thoughts are definitely for Shilei's good, in this kind of matter, her own wishes are obviously the most important!

"Estimating the time of awakening: Unable to determine, but I can use my clone to tell my daughter about our current conversation!"

What this means is that she doesn't know when Shi Lei will wake up, but she can tell Shi Lei the three plans through her clone in Shi Lei's body. If this is the case, there is no problem.

"Well, since Xiaolei doesn't have anything to do for the time being... let's deal with other things first!"

Yu Huan nodded in agreement with Sheng Yin's words. It was best to leave this matter to Shi Lei's own decision. As for now... they clearly had other problems to deal with. Of course, this wasn't much of a problem in Yu Huan's eyes. After all, wasn't the culprit who had caused all this right in front of him? So...

"Can you take back your power? I can sense that you have no intention of destroying the world or devouring everything in it, so if possible, can we discuss a feasible plan... um, to replenish your power and save your world?"

Through the fragmented memories and Saint Silver's performance, Yu Huan roughly understood why it devoured worlds to replenish its own strength. After all, Saint Silver itself was a world, a world destroyed by some disaster. In order to repair this world, it needed to absorb the original power of other worlds...

In that fragment of memory, Yu Huan once learned that Sheng Yin had actually taken three options for this method of repairing the world: the first was to devour other worlds at all costs to replenish itself. This was the most efficient, fastest, and also the most cruel method. It was undoubtedly an act of harming others for personal gain!

There is no doubt that Baiyin used this power a thousand years later, and absorbed countless worlds with it. It was not until his sister traveled through time with the system a hundred years ago that he resisted it in the name of the Ranger.

However, because the system used by Yu Yuan is a "monster" system after all, that is, the so-called evil force, there are naturally some restless existences among them. Therefore, a high priest appeared a long time ago: Zero. After attempting to usurp Yu Yuan's power and succeeding halfway, he betrayed Yu Yuan's original intention and turned the Mirror Organization, which was supposed to protect the world, into a terrorist organization known to everyone!

However, based on the brief time Yu Huan had spent with this 'Silver' from a thousand years ago, it was clear that the other party was not as extreme as he was a thousand years later. He seemed to be taking the second approach: absorbing the power of various worlds in a long and steady manner, and replenishing himself under principled devouring.

This can be considered a relatively stable method that does not harm the harmony of nature. Although I don’t know why Holy Silver would turn evil after a thousand years, if the other party can keep this idea, maybe it can bring about changes in the future?

173. Holy Silver, Silver

If Holy Silver could remain as it is now until a thousand years later, there might not be any future hostile situations. If that were the case, it would undoubtedly be a great thing for the future Tianta City, Demon Realm, Scavenger Alliance, or Tianyu City.

While thinking this, the sound of Holy Silver suddenly reached his ears:

"What are you... talking about?"

"Ugh?"

He raised his head in confusion, and what Yu Huan saw immediately was Sheng Yin tilting his head... with an even more confused expression.

"I... have no intention of devouring the world. This method goes against the will of heaven, and my 'order' does not allow it!"

If she really had such thoughts, how could Shi Lei still be alive today? There was no way her clone would rather seal itself than hurt Shi Lei in the slightest!

"I came here for two purposes: one is to recover my clone, and the other is to stop and expel my enemies who were attracted by my clone's awakening: One!"

Sheng Yin repeated his purpose once again, but Yu Huan clearly heard something different in the other party's tone.

"Wait, wait... You mean these are your only two goals, and you have no intention of destroying Wanfa City?"

Sheng Yin shook his head without even thinking.

What does Wanfa City have to do with her? She is just following her instincts!

"What about the actions of the Voice Church? Weren't they directed by you?"

The Silver Identity that he had encountered and eliminated outside the city, and the Silver Ocean that had been summoned in Wanfa City because of the sacrifices of those believers, all of this...

"I... don't have any followers!"

"what?"

What's the point of having no followers? Aren't you the Holy Silver God of the Sound Church?

Although Yu Huan didn't say anything, his stunned face was undoubtedly filled with such questions. Sheng Yin obviously saw this and after a moment's thought, he said:

"I am the Holy Silver God. This is the name you humans gave me when you first glimpsed my true form. From the beginning to the end... I have never acknowledged it!"

That is to say, when it first awakened, it encountered a group of humans and was mistaken by those guys as the Holy Silver God. Since it itself had no concept of a "name", it naturally took it as its own name. As for the Sound Church... it had nothing to do with it from the beginning to the end?

But this isn’t right either!

"What are those things outside?"

If the Sound Church is just an organization that uses the name of Holy Silver to defraud people, it should be impossible for them to summon the power of silver, especially when they are doing so by sacrificing themselves. If they are a scammer, they shouldn't have to go to such lengths, right?

"That is not my power, but the power of my enemy 'One'!"

"..."

"..."

"...Wait, wait, wait a moment, I need to slow down..."

Oh my god, the amount of information was a bit overwhelming. Yu Huan felt that he needed to calm down and cool down his overworked brain. After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, Yu Huan immediately calmed down some of the emotions in his heart. Then he looked at Sheng Yin and pondered for a while before asking:

"So let me summarize the current situation: This so-called Holy Silver God of yours is not actually the real Holy Silver God. He was simply mistakenly identified when his true form was seen during his awakening. Plus, since he doesn't have a name, he came up with this self-proclaimed title."

In other words, the Holy Silver Church does believe in the Holy Silver God, but it is not the Holy Silver in front of them, but another existence with the same appearance... or nature as the Holy Silver.

"Judgment: The conclusion is correct!"

After thinking about Yu Huan's words for a while, Sheng Yin nodded slightly to show that he acknowledged what the other party said.

"And... the silver power outside isn't yours, but the power of your so-called enemy, 'One.' The one who's trying to devour Wanfa City and everything within it, even the Demon Realm, isn't you, but that 'One.' Your purpose here is simply to find Xiaolei's clone and stop 'One's' actions, right?"

"Affirmative, I understand correctly!"

Nodding obediently once again, Yu Huan took a deep breath and then asked the final and most crucial question:

"Finally, tell me, does this so-called 'One' possess the same power as you, to devour and assimilate everything, and... also carry out the first clause of your so-called Divine Plan?"

Without caring about revealing how he knew about this matter, Yu Huan immediately asked the central question. In response, Sheng Yin was silent for a moment and nodded without thinking:

"I'm sure... I understand it correctly!"

"Crack~~~"

A small slap instantly hit his forehead, and at that moment Yu Huan suddenly showed an expression of despair.

I understand, I understand everything, everything... Yu Huan now feels that he has figured it all out!
