I, Viego, conquer Terra!

Viego's gaze fell on the blue-haired figure in front of him who was lying on the bar counter, curiously watching the bartender's actions.

Gwen.

Standing next to her was a tall and burly figure covered in heavy gray-white armor.

...Is this the big, burly guy the gatekeeper was talking about?

Viego's mind subconsciously recalled the scene where Isolde lifted up the little blue-haired doll and showed it to him - that was the memory of the Ruined King before his death.

But this time, the obsession hidden in the Curse of Ruin did not have too much of a violent reaction. The memories in his mind only emerged for a moment, and then disappeared consciously. It was no longer churning like the previous times he saw Isolde.

Viego was a little surprised.

He thought about it and stepped forward.

Chapter 77 Gwen is confused

Don’t do bad things, don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.

Viego felt that there was no need for him to hide from Gwen.

It doesn't matter what attitude this doll, who seems to dislike Viego, has towards him.

If we can communicate, then ask her how she came to the other world from Rune Continent.

It doesn’t matter if we can’t communicate and have to take out a pair of scissors when we meet.

Viego had just digested all of the power of the Curse of Ruin that he had plundered from the fragment of The Shining last night. Now he is stronger than before, and he thinks he can defeat Gwen.

Your scissors are fast? Humph, my Ruined King Sword is not bad either!

However, whether a fight will break out or not will depend on how Gwen reacts to his appearance.

Viego walked forward confidently.

Gwen and Mudstone were standing by the bartender at this time, one of them was lying on the bar watching curiously, and the other was standing silently beside them.

Looking at it this way, they look like a naive young lady who knows nothing about the world and a taciturn macho bodyguard...

Viego looked at the mudstone and suddenly thought of the strongest female hero in the League of Legends - the sea beast priest Illaoi.

Well, from this perspective, Mudstone might be a tough girl. After all, according to what the Sarkaz gatekeeper said, Mudstone always seems to be wearing heavy armor, and no one has ever seen the true appearance of this mercenary.

You can't just assume someone's gender, otherwise it would be bad if there was a fairy fist organization in the other world...

"What would you like to order, sir?" The Sarkaz bartender behind the counter noticed Viego approaching, and asked with the ice pot in his hand flying up and down. "Beer, special drink, or non-alcoholic drink?"

There are also fancy cocktails in the other world...The sense of déjà vu is getting stronger and stronger.

I always feel that many details of this world are very similar to the modern world where I lived in my previous life. However, it may also be that I just happened to come to a similar world, or perhaps the development of technology and society always has commonalities.

If he thought about it further, he would end up thinking about philosophy and mysticism, so Viego interrupted his thoughts in time and leaned against the bar. "Do you have any recommendations? Just help me choose one."

Well... although the body transformed by the Curse of Ruin has most likely stopped functioning, it should be okay to drink some liquids, right?

At worst, you can go in from the top and out from the bottom.

It has been almost two weeks since Viego came to the other world, and he hasn't had a sip of water or tasted any food. Now there is a chance to drink some wine and taste something, so of course he won't refuse.

My sense of taste and smell must still be there, otherwise, when I was with W, Shining, Mostima, etc., I wouldn't be able to smell or taste anything.

I just don’t know whether the intestinal function can still function normally. If not, I’m afraid that whatever I drink will be the same when I “vomit” it out.

Gwen, who was lying on the bar and watching the curling stones flying around, was slightly stunned.

I seemed to hear a familiar voice...

There was a low and hoarse male voice, but the tone was no longer filled with the pain and hatred, nor was there any madness or brutality.

But Gwen still reacted immediately.

——That was Viego’s voice.

She turned her head to look, and at the same time, her hand hanging by her side subconsciously touched the scissors behind her.

Gwen's palm had already touched the scissors. The cold, hard and comfortable touch made her feel extremely at ease. Since she woke up, this tool that Isolde had used to create her has been with her all the time.

But Gwen's hand paused.

She stared blankly at the white-haired man on her right who was leaning against the bar, wearing an ordinary mercenary outfit.

Is it Viego...or is it not Viego?

This man did not have the iconic crown on Viego's head, nor did he have any weapons on him, and there was no trace of the Sword of Kings.

The Ruined King who once wreaked havoc across the entire Rune Continent, whenever he appeared, he would be surrounded by black fog and endless vengeful spirits.

He sat high on the throne, overlooking the devastated and scorched earth where his lover was no longer alive. His eyes seemed to be filled with longing and pain forever. When he looked at other people, there must have been endless madness and cruelty between his brows.

He would call out Isolde's name, letting the light of the Curse of Ruin spread across the earth, causing every living thing in the world to fall into ruin - until his lover returned to his arms.

But now, in Gwen's eyes, the white-haired man who looked and had the same figure as the Ruined King in her memory was not the case.

Now he was wearing ordinary men's clothes, a dark brown windbreaker, carbon black combat pants with cuffs, and a pair of black boots. There was no cruelty or madness on his face, nor any pain or longing.

He leaned against the wine table, the corners of his lips raised, and he turned his gaze towards her with a smile... No, he turned his gaze towards the tall and silent Mudstone behind her. He raised his hand to greet her and said with a smile, "Oh, Captain Mudstone, right? I have heard of your name for a long time."

Gwen was confused.

Although the white-haired man in front of her was exactly the same as the man in her memory in terms of body shape and facial features, Gwen still couldn't help but have doubts in her heart at this moment.

——This man, is he really Viego?

Or does he just look very similar to Viego...?

Before leaving, Isolde told himself that Viego's power was growing every moment, and he must be slaughtering lives endlessly to restore his strength in order to let the Curse of Ruin return to this new land and find his queen again.

But now, Gwen was in a city where nothing was unusual and no one had died, in a bar that was not very crowded but still had a few customers.

I saw a being who looked exactly like Viego.

But there was no black fog around him, he was not killing anyone, nor did he attempt to bring the ruined black fog back to the world, nor did he whisper the name of Princess Isolde.

He was just standing there, smiling, like an ordinary mercenary, raising his hand to greet Mudstone.

Gwen could feel his eyes clearly passing over her and lingering on her cheek for a moment.

But he didn't have any special reaction.

Gwen's life came from a part of Isolder's soul. If it was the Ruined King who was obsessed with resurrecting his lover, he would have drawn his sword and rushed forward to take her life and the part of her soul that originally belonged to Isolder.

But he didn't.

Gwen looked at the white-haired man in front of her, with obvious confusion in her bright eyes.

"Hello, strange man, what is your name?"

Gwen was always polite to anyone except Viego.

But she soon lost her courtesy.

Because the man in front of her answered her with a smile.

"Hello too, my name is..."

——"Viagra."

Gwen: ?

Gwen: !!!!!!



Chapter 78 Why is Viego so normal?

Viego...it's really him? !

But why is he here, why is he in such a state...?

This is different from what Isolde said.

Gwen's face showed astonishment, with a bit of dullness and surprise.

Viego still leaned against the bar with a smile on his face, waiting for Gwen's reaction.

As expected, even at such a close distance, the Curse of Ruin did not sense the presence of Isolde's "fragments" in Gwen's body.

The fragments here refer to the "body fragments" of Isolde that were broken into pieces after she and Viego fell from the sky into another world, rather than the soul fragments that gave Gwen life.

Viego's purpose is not to revive Isolde, so why does he want her soul?

The reason why they are looking for her body fragments is that in the other world, only those fragments carry the power of the Curse of Ruin, which can allow Viego to survive and become stronger.

Otherwise, do you think Viego really wants to find the fragments of those unlucky bad women?

However, Gwen did not have any fragments of Isolde or the power of the Curse of Ruin in her body.

——After gaining life, Gwen also gained the power to fight, which was an ancient protective spell called "Holy Mist". The Holy Mist turned the scissors, needle, and thread that created Gwen into her weapons.

That was an ability that was completely different in nature from the Curse of Ruin, so naturally it could not be absorbed by Viego and turned into power for his use.

But...why does this Gwen look so silly?

Why are you just looking at me like this without any reaction?

Viego raised an eyebrow.

He originally wanted to see how Gwen would react to his appearance, and whether she would really hate him like the voice in the game said.

The next moment, Gwen came back to her senses.

She opened her eyes wide, stared at Viego, and reached out for the scissors behind her.

"Viego, it's really you...Why are you here?!"

Her tone also lost its previous politeness and politeness, and turned into a questioning tone with a hint of doubt.

——Gwen is always polite to everyone, well, except Viego.

Now it's confirmed.

Gwen really hated Viego.

but why?

Viego stared at Gwen with some confusion.

If he remembered correctly, what Gwen obtained was the most beautiful part of Isolde's soul, the part that carried the deep love between the seamstress and the king.

After waking up, she and Viego should have had no interactions except in the final battle, but why... does she hate Viego so much - or rather, the Ruined King?

"You hate me, why?" Viego rarely concealed his doubts, so he asked on the spot.

Viego's words made Mudstone pause as he grasped the handle of the heavy hammer.

Originally, when Mudstone saw Gwen's sudden reaction, he thought that this man had some hatred or unpleasant past with Gwen, so he was ready to use the hammer to intimidate the man and tell him not to do anything rash.

But looking at his reaction...it seems like things are not what I thought?

Then why did Gwen react so strongly after hearing his name?

With confusion, Mudstone turned his head to look at Gwen, who was taking out the big blue scissors from his side and was in a defensive posture.

But Gwen also paused, a trace of confusion on her face.

She was also confused by Viego's question.

Yes, why do I hate him so much?

But soon, Gwen reacted.

She stared at Viego closely, and seeing that he had no intention of summoning the black mist or slashing at her with the Ruined King Sword, she subconsciously and politely responded to him:

"Because you hurt a lot of people! Your black fog took the lives of many creatures on Rune Continent!" Gwen's face was tense and her tone was slightly excited.

"Every year, many people die during the Harrowing Night, becoming the vengeful spirits you control and the nourishment for the Curse of Ruin!"

Whenever Gwen recalled the people who lost their lives wailing in the black fog of the Haunting Night, she felt waves of anger towards Viego from the bottom of her heart.

Precisely because she carries the most beautiful, purest and most loving memories of Isolde's soul, she becomes even more angry about what Viego has done.

Isolde must have felt very sad and upset when she saw Viego choose to kill so many innocent lives for her!
