I, the Lord of the Fifth Heavenly Throne, flow out of all things!

"Tsk, it's still useless..."

In the clean and sterile laboratory, Red Spider, wearing a surgical gown, looked at No. E-413 lying quietly on the laboratory table with a look of disgust and a hint of pity.

Unlike the young blue-haired, blue-eyed child he once was, E-413 has now grown into a teenager of about sixteen or seventeen years old.

But at this age when she should be the most energetic, the body of E-413, also known as Duan Mulian, is mostly covered with sutures and needle holes from surgeries.

At the same time, the body was like that of a centenarian, with bulging blue veins all over the body, looking very hideous and terrifying.

Even his original hair was shaved off, and there were obvious surgical scars on his bald head, apparently he had undergone a craniotomy.

"Mr. Starscream, it looks like my time is almost up."

Duanmulian on the experimental table was gradually losing consciousness as the anesthesia wore off. He did not open his eyes and spoke in a weak but calm tone.

"You don't seem to have any desire to live."

Red Spider injected a tube of unknown medicine into Duanmulian's arm.

It is not a poison, nor is it something that controls Duanmulian, but a drug that maintains his body functions and delays the weakening and necrosis of his cells.

"That's probably because I have no reason or meaning to live. Mr. Starscream must live no matter what. Why?"

Duanmulian slowly opened his eyes. He first clenched his hands and regained consciousness of his body.

Starscream didn't want him to die because he was of some use.

After the end of World War II, Starscream's mission was to "create the next Golden Alchemy Array", which is now Suwahara City.

In reality, he is active as a politician, and both openly and secretly, he carries out support plans for the Black Round Table at all levels.

But the most important thing is the construction of Suwahara, and supporting the Black Round Table is a small matter.

At the same time, Starscream also took advantage of his status as a powerful politician in reality to help German war criminals after World War II.

Most of the subordinates following Red Spider now are these people, and they are also Duanmulian’s colleagues.

"Of course I can do whatever I want in this world. It's fun and exciting. Besides, the world is so big, there are so many things to do. It will take a long time for me to get bored."

Red Spider looked at Duanmulian who was slowly getting up from the experimental table, a happy and wanton smile on his face.

How should I put it, standard trash talk with a little minion laughter.

Although Starscream is a capable person, it does not prevent him from having low tastes.

In fact, he had fallen into a state of self-destruction of soul aging that Duanmulian was very familiar with, and had entered the twilight of thinking where he lived just for the sake of living.

"But you look like you have reached the point where you have nothing left to enjoy."

Duanmulian put on her clothes, then touched her bald head, took out a blue wig and put it on her head.

He has been working under Red Spider in the past few years. In order to prove his usefulness and value, he has developed some unique products for Red Spider, such as brain development drugs, body function enhancement drugs and so on.

Relying on his own usefulness, ability, achievements and contributions, he managed to rise to the position of Red Spider's assistant.

Also because Starscream was very good at using it, and because he was very talented in research, Starscream also tried to solve or delay his physical defects.

After several years of hard work, it was not in vain. At least some drugs that can slow down cell degeneration have been developed.

But for Duanmulian, he could completely solve his physical problems by himself if he wanted to.

Those drugs could at most prolong his life until the end of Suwahara's story. It was just the result of his deliberate and calculated actions.

"...No fun to enjoy?"

After hearing the comments from his assistant who had been with him for many years, Starscream was silent and puzzled for a moment.

"Isn't it? You have little interest in eating the most delicious food, you are not excited about having sex with all kinds of beautiful women, you look down on anyone who plays with power, and now the only thing you are most interested in is research and how to torture and kill people."

Duanmulian, the assistant, spoke calmly and indifferently about the changes that Red Spider had undergone over the past few years.

He did act recklessly, but since he no longer derived pleasure from his reckless behavior, it was useless for him to act recklessly.

Neither the wanton rape nor the perverted rape could make this man enjoy or feel excited.

I didn't have much appetite even though I was eating the delicious food prepared by the world's top chef, Duanmu Lian.

As for power? That's what Starscream got tired of first.

When you have power and there is someone you don't like, should you use your power to destroy the other person or use your strength to crush the other person?

I have tried both Red Spider and I got tired of the former after using it a few times.

Because when you can cheat and win at any time, there will be absolutely no sense of accomplishment from this victory.

As a scientific researcher, Red Spider can devote himself to research, and what he can do is to follow his murderous impulse as a demon and kill people.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I have to admit that in the past few years, I haven't had much time to feel happy or feel the reality of being alive."

Red Spider touched his chin. He was not angry at Duan Mulian's blunt words. Instead, he looked at Duan Mulian with a joking smile and said, "But no matter how you look at it, you are worse than me, right?"

Yes, he, Red Spider, had no fun.

Although I still want to continue living, there is not much happiness I can feel while I am alive.

But no matter what he is like, he is better than this kid in front of him whose thinking is extremely nihilistic.

Duan Mulian has been with him for the past few years. Although she has used him for experiments, Red Spider has never treated this capable boy badly in terms of materials or other aspects.

It's just that the other person's personality is too nihilistic. The lust, appetite, desire to survive and other desires that a person should have seem to be non-existent in him.

What impressed Starscream the most was that he took this brat out for some fun, but the other party turned out to be like a rotten piece of wood.

A beautiful woman in your arms?

Duanmulian said that when it comes to satisfying physical pleasure, the drugs made in their laboratory are far more powerful than those made by women.

Food entrance?

Even though she had no memories, Duanmu Lian, whose soul was imprinted with countless delicious memories, only said that it was as bland as clear soup.

Ask him to kill people like herself? Duan Mulian will do as he asks.

But don't expect him to get the same pleasure and perverted satisfaction from killing people as Starscream.

One thing after another happened to Duanmulian, but he said that these things were meaningless, and they all made him, Red Spider, infected with a strong sense of nihilism.

Adultery, what's the point?

What’s the point of killing?

What’s the meaning of life?

Sweet, although this boy is capable, Starscream feels like he is getting old much faster when he is with him.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter what. Your body has already developed drug resistance. According to the test data, your body functions will completely cease in eight years."

Red Spider took off his surgical gown and announced Duanmulian's death in a calm tone.

Although he had given up the plan to create a replica of Zarathustra, this one was more useful than those products that had to be destroyed after failure.

Of course, referring to the brain, Duanmulian did not show any abilities beyond ordinary people.

"Eight years? That's enough."

Duan Mulian nodded calmly.

Now he is eighteen years old and can live for another eight years. He will definitely live until the end of the Suwahara story.

I just don’t know what the ending will be this time.

Seeing Duanmulian's calmness towards life and death, Red Spider was no longer surprised. After spending several years together, he also understood this boy's character.

"I'll leave the branch office here and the affairs in the United States to you. I need to go to Suwahara."

The time agreed upon by the Black Round Table is almost up, and Starscream must go to Suwahara.

Suwahara is a medical industrial city that was built by Red Spider using his own wealth, and his company is also a pharmaceutical company.

He controls the management rights of almost all of Suwahara's enterprises, which means that Starscream is the ruler of Suwahara, both openly and secretly.

"Mr. Starscream, as I recall, I'm a researcher, not a manager, right?"

Duanmulian showed no interest in the task entrusted by Red Spider.

Starscream understood him and knew that he preferred to devote his energy to research to pass the time.

As a researcher, Red Spider himself has many common topics with Duanmulian.

"But you have the ability. Leave the management to others. If there is anything important that needs to be taken care of, you can do it."

After leaving these words, Red Spider turned and left.

Regardless of whether Red Spider trusts him or not, he still has more confidence in Duanmulian's abilities.

People like him also like capable subordinates.

"..."

Looking at Red Spider's back, Duanmulian's eyes were calm, because he knew that this farewell would be forever.

His boss will be buried in Suwahara.

……

In 2005, more than half a month later.

Standing on the roadside near the beach, Duanmulian touched the grown hair on her head and put on a hat. Her eyes under the sunglasses looked calmly at the sea level in front of her.

The sound of waves echoed in his ears, soothing the loneliness in his heart.

In this world, his stale mentality is the closest to the Lord of the Throne.

To Mercury Snake, nothing in the world was new or unknown. To Duan Mulian, it was nothing more than an endless cycle of gaming life.

His life is worse than games like Dark Souls. It took countless falls and rises to get him to where he is today.

In the endless cycle of reincarnation, he who was once small and ordinary, had possessed countless times of unparalleled power, unimaginable wealth, people he truly loved, and an amazing status in the distant past...

If he likes, he can do many things that he could not do before. If he wants, he can live a wonderful life like a god... There are so many things that Duanmulian is allowed to do and enjoy now.

As long as he likes and wants to leave this terrible world, he can do it and act recklessly.

But so what?

When your heart is filled with a sense of knowing and no longer has any sense of happiness, then no matter how great or happy something you are doing, it will be meaningless.

There is no meaning, and I can't find the satisfaction that I should have as a human being.

However, when she used the power gained through countless sacrifices to enjoy herself instead of doing great things, Duanmu Lian felt very unhappy and uncomfortable.

It’s not that Duanmulian likes or is keen on doing big things, but this accumulated power is meant to overthrow the throne of God.

Given this causal relationship, how can we not do this important thing?

"Uhh~ I'm so tired, isn't there a taxi nearby?"

"You're so noisy, Silang. It was you who said to take this road, but you almost got lost."

"Lian, the sea is so beautiful. I really want to go swimming."

"Kasumi, are you serious!? It's almost winter!!!"

On the road more than 800 meters away from Duanmulian, two young men and one woman were walking noisily, dragging suitcases.

Among the two men, one is a handsome blond guy with a ruffian look.

The other one... was a young man with blue hair and blue eyes, who looked not much different from Duanmulian and had a neutral, beautiful and attractive appearance.

The last one is a lively and beautiful girl with short brown hair, a tuft of hair on top of her head, and eyes of the same color as her hair.

The three of them were talking and laughing, but also very noisy.

Although the sound was not loud, only a tiny whisper like a mosquito's was heard when it reached Duanmulian, but with her mind and five senses empty at this moment, the sound was extremely clear.

As for the identities of these three people, they were all very familiar to Duanmu Lian.

Yusa Shilang, Fujii Ren, Ayase Kasumi.

Even if she didn't watch the scene with her eyes, for Duanmulian it was no different from the opening animation that had been played countless times.

Now, at this point in time, the three of them had just moved into Suwahara City.

This year is 2005. Next November, 2006, will be a moment that concerns the survival of the entire world.

"There's someone over there. I'll go ask if we're taking the right route."

At this moment, Ayase Kasumi also noticed the motorcycle and figure parked on the roadside ahead, and immediately threw the suitcase in her hand to Fujii Ren and trotted over.
