The Warrior of Love

"I see." Jiang Liu pondered, "Is my existence similar to a 'nuclear bomb'?"

“It’s rude to say this, but… yes.” Roman smiled bitterly, “You are our only nuclear weapon.”

"What should I do?"

Ritsuka said worriedly, "Brother can't go with us. If it's just me and Mashu... won't our fighting power be too small? The opponent is obviously a very powerful big boss!"

“This is also our biggest problem at the moment.”

Roman frowned. “We know nothing about the world behind the reflection. We are not even sure whether there is human civilization there… No matter how much preparation we make, it will be insufficient. Moreover, we are unable to provide you with support now.”

"No problem, I'll go with you."

Jiang Liu's words once again attracted everyone's attention. Looking at their puzzled eyes, Jiang Liu began to explain.

"I must stay on Earth to guard against the mastermind, but I can definitely use some of my power to go to that world as a Servant."

"Come to think of it, you can indeed create a spiritual base." Roman thought of the past and his expression brightened. "That's no problem! The only question now is what the other party wants... Even if we get a reset Earth, what's the point?"

"You can ask them this question in person in the future."

Jiang Liu showed a menacing smile: "No matter who they are, I will make them kneel down and cry for mercy!"

-

The dazzling vortex of light transformed millions of light particles into a spiral staircase, breaking through the barrier of time and space and arriving at the world on the other side.

There are endless mountains and vast lands here. The general terrain is almost exactly the same as the Earth in the 21st century. However, there is one huge difference: it is covered with an unknown thickness of ice and snow.

This is an abnormal phenomenon that cannot be observed in the phantom on Earth. The ice and snow that have existed for thousands of years have frozen the entire world. There is no more prosperous human civilization on the vast land, and the few living things are magical beasts scattered everywhere.

In order to fight against the severe cold, even the monsters showed signs of evolution. Although their types were quite similar to those encountered in the singularities before, they were much larger in size and many were covered with thick hair.

Apart from this, there seems to be nothing here, except ice and snow, and only the dizzyingly strong sunlight... The sunlight shining on the ground is like being reflected by a mirror, making people feel dazed.

hum!

A flash of light rolled up the broken ice, a translucent shock wave flashed by, and a lonely man appeared here.

"Got separated?"

Jiang Liu squinted his eyes and looked around. Nothing could be hidden on the pure white ground, but he did not find the figures of the two people.

Although it was disappointing, it was not surprising. After all, Jiang Liu was teleported in a different way from those two people, so it was normal to have some slight differences... It's just that this kind of difference, in reality, would make the distance between the two sides become exaggerated.

——Considering that the uncertainty of this exploration mission was too great, Jiang Liu made some arrangements in advance.

For example, he rejected Athena's request and left her at the Toyama family to protect the family.

If any threat really arises in the future, Athena is also able to escort the family to Chaldea, where Jiang Liu's real body is sleeping. It can be said to be the safest place on earth.

"When I look at it from Earth, there are still mountains and water... Is this Antarctica?"

Jiang Liu looked up at the position of the sun and confirmed that this was not the pole.

"Then it could only be the work of someone behind the scenes. The illusion shown to us from the beginning was modified... huh?"

Maybe he was overthinking it, he felt that the sun in the sky was a little different from the one in his hometown. He looked at it a few more times, but soon put it out of his mind.

His most important goal at the moment is to find Ritsuka and Mashu. This land seems peaceful, but no one knows what threats are lurking in secret. Mashu's defense ability is unquestionable, but it is too difficult for her to protect Ritsuka alone.

What's more, the reflection of the world we saw before showed that it was summer, and Ritsuka was wearing a short skirt in her magic costume... Suddenly coming to this world of ice and snow, she might be frozen into a popsicle.

Ah, is this the conspiracy of the mastermind behind this?

--Kidding.

How could a magic costume produced by Da Vinci not even have basic heat preservation ability? However, they really need to reunite quickly. Jiang Liu is very worried about Lixiang's situation here.

A dark round door opened beside Jiang Liu. Jiang Liu reached in and took out an object that looked like a computer watch, which was Chaldea's new communicator.

"Chaldea...it turns out that we can't contact the headquarters." Jiang Liu shook his head.

This time, we crossed two worlds, and even the transfer of spirit particles was done in a hurry, let alone other technologies that could not keep up.

Now we can only wait for Chaldea to make a technological breakthrough and restore communications, otherwise neither here nor back home will be able to understand what happened.

[Ritsuka…]

Jiang Liu tried to contact his sister through telepathy, he closed his eyes and calmed his mind, and after a long time he slowly opened his eyes with dissatisfaction.

"You can't even use telepathy? This is really troublesome."

I don't know if this world is just like this, or if the mastermind behind the scenes made special preparations, but even the basic conversations between the Master and the Servant have been cut off.

"No way... where to go?"

Jiang Liu glanced at the world of ice and snow, then randomly chose a direction and walked down.

It seems like a "random" choice, but in fact his intuition is quite strong, almost like he can predict the future. If he follows his hunch, he will be able to reunite with Ritsuka soon.

At the same time, in a corner of this world, a girl with long black hair and a servant holding a large shield emerged from the light of the spirit. The girl hugged her arms immediately, and the pair of thighs exposed under her black skirt trembled in the wind and snow.

And in the "center" of the world, in an ice castle standing on a lonely peak, the queen with long ice-purple hair quietly opened her eyes.

"Your Highness, you have finally woken up from your sleep, Your Majesty."

Under the throne, a tall woman wearing an eye patch greeted respectfully.

“I dreamed about many things.”

The queen slowly stood up on the large crystal that was more like a bed than a throne, and her luxurious purple robe rubbed against the crystal, making a pleasant sound.

“Things that were, things that are, things that will be… things that will happen, and things that have happened.”

Divination? Sure enough, you still don’t trust me—the woman with the eyepatch thought to herself.

But she was not worried. Although the queen's divine power was great, there was very little she could do in this world that was about to end. The only way out was to cooperate with her and the forces behind her.

"In this case, you should understand that the footsteps of destruction are approaching, just like the bells at the twilight of the gods thousands of years ago.

This is not a war between nations or races. It cannot be resolved by surrendering or avoiding war. Only by fighting can we survive - this is a competition for survival!"

The masked woman half bowed and said, "I am your assistant. I will definitely help you protect this world."

"Protect the world?"

As if she had not yet fully woken up from her sleep, the queen's voice sounded a little dazed and indifferent.

"The other party probably thinks the same way. How sad... Perhaps, from God's perspective, the world over there is more worthy of continuation."

"Queen?!" The woman with the eyepatch was surprised.

"Don't be so flustered."

The purple-haired goddess gave a mysterious and beautiful smile.

"As you wish, I will protect this world - I have done so for thousands of years."

She stood up and walked to the castle's observation tower, looking out over the vast land. The few human villages there were seemed as precious as stars in the dark universe.

Then she raised her head and looked towards the sky, where there was a reflection of another world, just as Jiang Liu and others saw on Earth.

"In another world... there will be another me, right? She has a completely different way of existence and a completely different life from mine... I really envy her."

Chapter 771: Angel, Living Sacrifice, Confusion

A meteor streaked across the sky...

Jiang Liu, who was walking, looked up as if he had noticed something, saw the meteor flying by, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

With his eyesight, he could clearly see the true appearance of the "shooting star". It was not a red-hot rock or metal, but a beautiful, holy, slender human figure.

The luxurious white robe carries a sense of religious solemnity. The upper half of the face is hidden by the hood and cannot be seen clearly, but it gives people an inexplicably beautiful impression.

Judging from her figure, she is obviously a young girl. A faint golden light emanates from her body, forming ripples similar to wings, pushing her body to swim in the atmosphere. There is a golden halo above her head, which is particularly eye-catching.

Angel?

It feels a little different...

But regardless of whether she is an angel or not, it is certain that she is a divine servant.

That’s right, the other party is not a physical body, but a servant with a spiritual base - Jiang Liu saw it at a glance.

"A lone follower, or... a 'native' of this world?"

Jiang Liu pondered for a moment, changed his direction and followed him, chasing the other person's figure from a distance on the snow, deliberately hiding his breath so as not to be discovered by the other party.

For him, the easiest way to quickly gain information about this world is to directly contact the indigenous people.

Ritsuka should have the same idea, and maybe I can even reunite with Ritsuka in this process.

The speed of the "Angel" was extremely fast. It didn't seem to be in any urgent situation. It was just a simple cruise, but it still approached the sound barrier. You can imagine how terrifying her speed would be when she exerted her full strength.

But this is naturally nothing to Jiang Liu. Even if it is just a spiritual base similar to an avatar, it has the power of a main god. In comparison, it is even stronger than Ishtar.

This is just the normal state. If you liberate your divinity, you will have the explosive power of Quetzalcoatl level. Generally speaking, you can deal with any situation calmly.

He easily followed behind the "Angel", always keeping the same speed as the other party to avoid disturbing it.

After about ten minutes, the "Angel" seemed to have found its target, began to slow down and slowly descend.

Jiang Liu just happened to run to a high slope, looking far away towards the landing point of the "Angel", with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Human villages..."

It was a small village in ancient European style, built next to a cedar forest. It had thick walls made of tall logs and covered with sharp wooden thorns.

Outside the wall, there is a large piece of cultivated land with lush green wheat growing on it. It is obvious that these crops cannot withstand such low temperatures, but they are unexpectedly full of vitality. No one knows what secrets they hide.

But inside the wall there are only a few hundred households.

Considering the harsh environment of this world, this may be a reasonable number.

However, it was strange that in a world full of monsters, this village had no buildings such as a watchtower, and there were no guards outside. The so-called "thick" walls were no obstacle to those huge monsters.

Could it be that the average combat power of humans in this world is very strong and they don't need to guard against monsters?

No matter what, Jiang Liu had to get closer and observe everything carefully in order to draw the correct conclusion.

Calming down and perfectly restraining his breath, Jiang Liu walked towards the village in a dignified manner.

Although he is not "Assassin", Jiang Liu is confident that he will not be discovered even if he passes by in front of everyone.

Because his "hiding" is not as simple as simply concealing his body, but directly eliminating the sense of existence - this is a special use of "Observation Haki".

In fact, just as he thought, even after climbing over the high wall and entering the village, he did not attract anyone's attention.

Jiang Liu walked between the villagers' houses, looking at the buildings and some farm tools on both sides from time to time, and then concluded that the level of civilization here was not high and was still in the early agricultural society.

This is very strange, because the two sides are parallel worlds corresponding to each other. As far as the time point in Jiang Liu's hometown is concerned, it is already the 21st century, and it should be the same time here.

However, this situation...either the transmission was wrong and it went back thousands of years in one go, or the development of civilization in this world has stagnated for thousands of years!

There were no people wandering around in the village, so Jiang Liu thought about it and went deeper. Sure enough, in an open space in the center, he saw the villagers gathered there, and the "angel" who was kneeling and worshipping them.

Standing on the roof without any scruples, Jiang Liu glanced at the crowd in the open space. Suddenly, a sense of incongruity came to his heart. He didn't think much about it at first, but inexplicably recalled something that happened in Mesopotamia, and his heart was shocked!

"This, this, and this... As expected, aren't all of them young people?"

Jiang Liu frowned and looked unhappy.

If you look closely, you will find that there is not even a single elderly person in this village!

Regardless of gender, they are all young people or underage children!

This is too weird. Even if the harsh environment caused a short lifespan, it wouldn't be so "neat".

It was as if an invisible knife had "pruned" all humans over the age of twenty-four or twenty-five.

This reminded Jiang Liu of the city-state that offered a living sacrifice to Quetzalcoatl... But Quetzalcoatl himself did not accept living sacrifices, it was just a misunderstanding.
