Knight Asylum

Neelam bowed and turned to leave.

"Neelam, Kara is the creator of O Coin. O Coin cannot resist Kara, so no one can win over Kara on the scale of desire—"

Mitsuo Hongo laughed and fiddled with the cup in his hand.

"So...she was subverted by her own creation."

"Desire is really incredible, isn't it?"

Nilam paused, was silent for a moment, and then nodded.

"excuse me."

“Good luck with your journey, Neelam.”

Mitsuo Hongo raised his eyes, and the huge floor-to-ceiling window switched to the display screen of the Desire Grand Prix, with different numbers displayed next to each player's icon.

Those are the O Coin points earned by the players of the Desire Grand Prix, and also... the number of O Coins absorbed by the Desire Grand Prix.

O Coin itself is not a big deal.

However, desire, once it enters the container, will multiply rapidly.

"Desire...it's really fascinating."

More and more O coins fell, but they never overturned the scale. Kara raised her head with satisfaction.

Tinkering with these people in strange armor is not just a hobby, it's also a way to accumulate strength.

As the creator of O coins, she has already transformed herself into a being similar to Greeed, so she needs O coins just like Greeed. The more O coins she has, the stronger she is.

Of course, these ordinary cell coins could not satisfy her at all, and she looked down on these cell coins. What she really wanted were the core coins.

And she could clearly sense that her creations were approaching.

As long as she gets the core coin she created, she can gain power comparable to that of God.

But before finding her creation, there are still two people whose desires have not been fulfilled.

Kara's eyes fell on Red and Hidetoshi Ukiyo who were in the desert.

"What is your desire?"

The first person Kara took a fancy to was Ukiyo Hidetoshi, who had already transformed into a being similar to Greeed. She could clearly feel the extremely powerful obsession emanating from Ukiyo Hidetoshi.

And obsession is often accompanied by huge desire.

Instead, it was Red who was squatting beside and playing with sand.

It looked ordinary, without any aura of obsession, and it was obvious at first glance that there was no great desire, and most likely only a dozen O coins could be squeezed out.

"Can you fulfill my wish?" Ukiyo Hidetoshi raised his head.

"Of course, but I am the one who decides what you want to fulfill—"

Kara raised her brows in amusement.

"Just let me see you—"

A zero coin fell on the scale with a clink, spun a few times, and then fell down with a clang.

Kara looked at the O coin on the scale in astonishment.

What determines the value of a desire is the desire's holder's imagination of what will happen after the desire is realized and his further desire. If he gains the power to rule the world, what will he do next and what else he wants.

The more the holder of a Desire desires, the more O-Coins are generated.

It was the first time she had seen desires of such low value.

It was so small and humble that she didn't even have the interest to absorb it.

Staring at the lonely O coin on the scale, Ukiyo Hidetoshi let out a breath.

He was not surprised at all.

For two thousand years, countless battles, countless intrigues, the one wish he pursued from beginning to end was only that one.

Two thousand years...

He didn't seem to make any progress, nor did he think about what would happen next. It was even becoming increasingly difficult for him to desire more.

"I didn't expect to get a reply in this way. It's really bad—"

"That's enough. People like you don't even have the value of existing."

Kara flicked the lone coin on the scale with disdain, raised her hand to wipe away the bubble in front of her, and her gaze passed through the tower to the Greeeds in the distance.

"Good boy, you actually saved me so much trouble."

The O coin that was flicked away by Kara passed through the gradually dissipating bubbles and stuck in the sand in front of Ukiyo Hidetoshi.

Ukiyo Hidetoshi stared at the O coin in the sand for a while, then turned to Reid and shrugged, "It looks like you can't go back for the time being."

"Why did you take the liberty of putting yourself...oh——"

Ukiyo Hidetoshi's gradually becoming illusory body suddenly reminded Red that the organizers of the Desire Grand Prix could directly teleport the contestants away, but the Desire Grand Prix could not teleport him back.

"I'll find a way to hold on until you get back... but don't let the fox pretend for too long."

After saying this, Ukiyo Hidetoshi disappeared in the light.

Looking at the endless desert in front of him, Red thought for a while and his eyes fell on the O coin embedded in the sand, representing the value of Ukiyo Hidetoshi's desire.

"Okay, okay - I have to work harder next time -"

Red bent down and picked up the O coin on the ground. He put his left hand on the handle of the thruster and turned it hard. A red motorcycle appeared in the data and landed in front of Red.

At the same time, Ukiyo Hidetoshi has returned to the tower built by Kara using O coins in Kojuku District through the system of the Desire Grand Prix.

"Then what comes next is——"

Before Ukiyo Hidetoshi finished his words, the evil demons wrapped in bandages in the ruins raised their bodies, and the knights of the Desire Grand Prix who had completed the deal with Kara before also approached him with weapons in their hands like zombies.

“Highlight——”

Ukiyo Hidetoshi tilted his head, snapped his fingers with his right hand in the direction of the evil demons, swung his left hand with the Giga Hammer and blasted the nearest evil demon into a meteor in the sky.

Kara naturally noticed Ukiyo Hidetoshi. Although she was a little confused, when she thought of Ukiyo Hidetoshi's desire which was only worth 1 coins, Kara lost interest in Ukiyo Hidetoshi. She waved her hand and one side of the tower wall decomposed into coins and fell down.

Kara lazily lay on the throne, with the corners of her mouth raised and her tone extremely gentle.

"My children, I haven't seen you for eight hundred years. I thought you had forgotten me."

Ukiyo Hidetoshi, who was swinging the hammer, paused, and felt a sharp pain in his head. Blurry images flashed before his eyes, and in the light, a woman was smiling at him gently.

But before he could see the woman's appearance clearly, he was interrupted by the attack of other knights.

Chapter 830: How to Use Thrusters a Second Time

"Child? What a disgusting name."

In response to Kara's call, Anku crossed his arms and broke into pieces.

"I'm not your child."

Kazali and Wufan also nodded.

It was one thing for them to have a grudge against Anku, but it was another to hate Kara.

"Why not? You are the life born into this world through my hands. It is me who gave you your own selves—"

There was a hint of sadness in Kara's gentle tone.

"But you remained indifferent when I was sealed by the tyrannical king, abandoned me as your mother, and indulged in your own desires."

In the lounge of the Desire Grand Prix, Tsumuri exclaimed in great surprise as she watched Ukiyo Hidetoshi being defeated by the evil demons on the screen.

"Why? With the strength of Player Eitoshi, plus the power of the Power Builder Buckle, it's impossible for him to fight so hard."

Kiroli also had a serious expression on his face.

He could understand if it was any other player being besieged and trapped in such a desperate situation, but Ukiyo Hidetoshi had done such an exaggerated thing as killing zombie demons with the help of propellers and other small buckles. It should not be so difficult for him to fight with a large buckle like the Powerful Builder.

If this pace continues, Ukiyo Hidetoshi might be beaten to death before Red comes back.

"We can't let Player Yingshou die at this time," Kiroli took a deep breath and turned around to answer Niram's call.

"Producer, this Desire Grand Prix has gotten out of control and must be stopped immediately!"

In the camera shot of the dim conference table, under the oil painting depicting a majestic world, Niram stared at the chaotic battle on the screen in front of him with his fingers crossed. After a brief silence, he sighed softly.

"…What are you talking about, Kirori? Everything is going as planned for the Desire Grand Prix."

"Varied?!"

"Didn't you see the VIPs' reactions?"

At Niram's reminder, Kiroli retrieved the relevant data through the game administrator's authority.

The ratings were through the roof, and VIPs were watching the game with great eagerness.

The VIPs who were expecting a bad ending laughed, and the VIPs with a heroic complex excitedly cheered for Ukiyo Hidetoshi, but... no one took any action.

"This……"

"Kilori, this is the most successful issue of the Desire Grand Prix in history. Next... you know, in order to meet the needs of VIPs, the Desire Grand Prix will be customized based on the content of this competition."

"How could this happen!?" Tsumuri's face was full of disbelief.

“We’re just a show.”

Nilam interrupted the call, looked up in silence for a long time, then tilted his head to look at the chocolate bar beside him. He raised his hand, grabbed the chocolate bar, took a bite, chewed it carefully for a while, then covered his forehead with his hands.

Seeing the communication channel in front of her go black, Tsumuri looked at Kirori in panic.

"How to do?"

Kirori clenched his fists.

If this was the choice of all VIPs, he, as a game administrator, had no reason to interfere.

"Damn it——What on earth is wrong with me——"

Hidetoshi Ukiyo clenched the Giga Sword in his hand and swung it to sweep away the surrounding evil demons. The enemies were still watching him covetously, but Hidetoshi Ukiyo couldn't help but look in the direction of Kara and Greeed.

"At this point, you're actually acting like a mother, Kara. Your face is really getting thicker and thicker," Anku said sarcastically.

"You created us just to get that damn god's power. We were the carriers you prepared to get power from the very beginning."

Mazel covered her mouth and laughed, "You were greedy and the king discovered your intentions and sealed you in the ruins. You still expect us to save you. You are really stupid."

This is undoubtedly a bad mother and a bad child.

Kara twisted her body, then stood up with a sneer, her whole body glowing like an O coin.

"Since you know this, you still dare to appear in front of me. Do you think you can fight against me, your mother and your creator?"

"Confrontation? We are here to kill you," Anku raised his thumb and gently stroked across his neck, "right, Kazali, Wufan."

The corner of Wu Fan's mouth twitched. He was really thinking seriously about whether to surrender or not, but Anku instigated him like this. Even if he wanted to surrender, Kara would not let him go.

"There's no other way - Wufan, you should know that Kara is even more ruthless than the king," Kazali spread his hands and entered Greeed monster form.

"Damn it—there's nothing I can do!"

Wu Fan was forced into a corner and had no choice but to wave his hands, entering Greeed's monster form and raising his middle finger in the direction of Kara.

"How dare you disobey your Creator! Forget it, the only value of your existence is to store power!"

Kara's alienated face twisted instantly, and the tower instantly decomposed into a terrifying O-coin storm. The evil demons on the ground were pulled up in mid-air and decomposed into O-coins and mixed into the storm.

The scales of desire light up again, but no matter how many O coins fall on the right side, they cannot change the fate that has been pried open.

Kazali and Wufan's faces changed and they subconsciously took a step back, but it was still too late. Their chests were torn apart, and the three insect combination and three cat combination core coins were embedded in the disc behind Kara under the traction of the storm.

At this moment, Kara exudes an unusual aura like a goddess of desire.

"See, this is your creation—"

Before he finished speaking, the Giga Sword broke through the storm and stabbed straight towards Kara, but was caught by Kara with one hand before it hit.

Kara's sight followed the Giga Sword and fell on Ukiyo Hidetoshi who was still in a throwing posture on the ground.

"What? It's you, a worthless guy. Do you have any opinion?"

Kara pinched her fingers, and the Giga Sword shattered on the spot.

"Who knows - I just suddenly wanted to do that -" Ukiyo Hidetoshi put down his hands and looked up at Kara, "To you, they should be unique children, right?"
