Madam, I like you.

　Esdeath tracked down a being named K in the Night Raid. Not long after learning of K's existence, she was forced into a desperate situation again and had to reverse time and space to undergo a second reincarnation.

　It was not until the 30th reincarnation that Esdeath finally understood everything. She chose to take the initiative to contact Mo Yankong, gave up everything and signed a contract just to find a way to defeat Mo Yankong. She learned Mo Yankong's true identity, and then continued to travel through time, jumping to the timeline before the signing of the contract.

　In the next five reincarnations, she continued to challenge Mo Yankong in various ways, knowing everything, and without exception met her end in the face of overwhelming strength.

　A complete living being, the sum of all living things in the world, the most powerful "dangerous species" in the world.

　"There are still many crazy, perfect creatures in this world... their hunting value is comparable to all the dangerous species in the world combined."

　Chapter 205: Deja Vu

　Something has changed in the world.

　Mo Yankong felt this change strongly. This change didn't come from a real change in the world, but simply from his own personal experience. As a human, Mo Yankong often felt this way, but back then, it was usually only after he encountered something that suddenly occurred to him.

　Deja vu, anticipating something before it happens.

　Mo Yankong's body is a perfect creature, and the power of his body alone can clearly tell

　Everything that happens within a radius of one kilometer, including the sound, temperature, smell, light, and all changes, cannot escape the monitoring of Mo Yankong's body.

　Now, Mo Yankong had a strong sense of déjà vu, and knew what the data originally looked like before he even noticed any changes.

　"Why do I have this illusion? Every part of my body is under my control. Is this feeling due to spiritual induction or something else?"

　Mo Yankong was perplexed. He had spent the entire morning observing the changes in the night raid base, observing every action of the night raid killers. At first, many things seemed familiar, but as time went on, this feeling grew weaker.

　At noon, Mo Yankong came to the imperial capital alone. Sha You had already sent the invitation. Regardless of whether the other party accepted the invitation or not, as the host, there was no reason not to go.

　Mo Yankong walked on the streets of the imperial capital, and the faded sense of déjà vu emerged again. This time the feeling was the same. At the beginning, the number of pedestrians in the imperial capital, their voices, their clothing, everything was within Mo Yankong's sense of déjà vu. With Mo Yankong's arrival, it quickly began to fade.

　“Everything has its cause, everything has its effect, and everything requires adaptation.”

　This is the truth that the parasite taught Mo Yankong in the world of "Parasyte". Mo Yankong has an IQ that ordinary people don't have and a thinking vision that is free from the constraints of the pattern. Without thinking that this feeling is accidental, Mo Yankong can only think of one possibility.

　"The butterfly effect, in a dynamic system, any slight change can trigger a massive chain reaction throughout the entire system. Originally a meteorological term, it became a popular concept thanks to a movie of the same name, and has become synonymous with time and space paradoxes."

　"This sense of déjà vu, in Steins;Gate, is the trace left by the world line shift. Could I be in the middle of a similar time shift?"

　Mo Yankong speculated that he was the butterfly that traveled through time and space, and that this seemed to explain everything. He deduced how he had traveled to the future, knowing exactly what would happen. But when he returned, everything was reset, including his memories, leaving only a subtle sense of déjà vu in his physical body.

　"No, there's something missing."

　Mo Yankong has experienced the bombardment of modern time-travel movies, novels, and animations, and has deduced thousands of possibilities in a moment, but all possibilities are inseparable from one hub.

　"Esdeath."

　Mo Yankong frowned. He did not have the ability to travel through time and space. The only one in this world who had a connection with time was Esdeath. Her imperial weapon ability could freeze time and space, and theoretically could also make time flow backwards.

　Absurd, everything is just unrealistic speculation.

　Don't say that there is still some disbelief.

　2pm, Imperial Capital, Chinatown, Peony Restaurant.

　Mo Yankong showed up on time and ordered food for hundreds of people at once, requesting that a plate be delivered every five minutes.

　The waitress almost thought she had misheard. After Mo Yankong handed the bank card to the waiter, she hurriedly reported to the restaurant owner.

　Since the money was paid, the restaurant was happy to do so no matter what Mo Yankong wanted to do with the food.

　Vampires live by sucking blood, and the people in the pillars eat vampires. Perfect creatures are basically not picky about food and can absorb 100% of whatever they eat.

　Thus, a strange spectacle appeared in the Mudan Restaurant: a man ate here from noon to night, with cutlery and plates piled up into a small mountain, and diners were talking about it.

　"That man, he was here this afternoon, right? I remember he had already finished eating a whole table when I left. Is he still eating now?"

　"It's more than just one table! We've already cleared away several batches of dishes because they're running out of space!"

　“This is really delicious.”

　"Is he a dangerous species? He can eat so much."

　"How can he eat so much? His stomach doesn't feel bloated at all. Is he performing some kind of magic trick?"

　At ten o'clock in the evening, the diners who came to watch the fun had almost dispersed, and only the last few dishes ordered by Mo Yankong were left unserved. The restaurant owner thought it was time to close the restaurant after Mo Yankong had finished eating.

　The boss was absentmindedly calculating how much money he had earned from Mo Yankong. Another diner entered the restaurant, and he hurried over to greet him apologetically, "I'm sorry, but we're planning to close. Please... please..."

　When the boss saw the person coming, his eyes widened and his voice became stammering. The person coming was a tall woman in a military uniform with beautiful ice-blue hair. She was the well-known general Esdeath in the imperial capital.

　After entering, she kept her eyes fixed on Mo Yankong, who was still eating. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as she instructed, "Bring up a few of your restaurant's most famous dishes."

　"General Esdeath! Yes! Yes! I'll do it for you right away!" The boss felt relieved and quickly ran to the kitchen to personally supervise the chef to prepare the food.

　Esdeath came to Mo Yankong's side, glaring at the mysterious man before her, her icy blue eyes narrowed. "You are the master the assassin mentioned last night."

　"General Esdeath, please sit down. I thought you wouldn't come." Mo Yankong picked up the red wine and took a sip, grinning. He was not angry because Esdeath was "late" for eight hours.

　Mo Yankong was secretly surprised. He couldn't sense anything unusual from Esdeath. It seemed that she was seeing him for the first time and maintained a calm and alert attitude.

　This is the consequence of Sayu alerting the enemy last night.

　Were those intense feelings of déjà vu truly just déjà vu? If they had nothing to do with Esdeath, what could they possibly be?

　Mo Yankong

　Consider whether it is necessary to read Esdeath's mind. If you want to read Esdeath's mind, you must contact her brain cells. Fighting with Esdeath in advance will disrupt the entire plan.

　The two talked for more than two hours. Because of the sense of déjà vu, Mo Yankong did not focus the conversation on the original intention of inviting Esdeath. He tried several times intentionally or unintentionally but to no avail.

　As for the content of the conversation, Mo Yankong made no secret of his identity as a night raid assassin. He used the name of the Revolutionary Army to win over Esdeath, explaining why the Empire would inevitably be defeated by the Revolutionary Army. Throughout the conversation, he acted disrespectful, as if he didn't take the Empire's strongest general seriously at all.

　As for the original intention, which was to use war to attract this warmongerer, the content was roughly the same, but the conditions were very different.

　Esdeath's every move was as if she was meeting Mo Yankong for the first time.

　Chapter 206 Two Big Axes (Additional Update)

　Mo Yankong left the Peony Restaurant. Esdeath was still eating her fresh meat buns. Her eyes gradually grew colder, revealing an unprecedented solemnity. She thought to herself, "Sure enough, I've noticed. Even a fully formed creature that can only be affected once by Mokopotmo can adapt to time reversal. The fourth failure was because I revealed a flaw."

　After reincarnation dozens of times, Esdeath has a good understanding of Mo Yankong. During the conversation just now, she was always ready to activate the power of the imperial weapon to freeze time and space.

　Esdeath crossed her legs and thought, "So this time... I'll need a chess piece to attract this man's attention."

　She could think of only one way to destroy the perfect creature, and before she could do so, she couldn't let Mo Yankong notice anything unusual.

　"Daidas."

　A large man in military uniform walked in from the restaurant entrance and said respectfully, "Lord Esdeath, what are your instructions?"

　"Follow up and kill that night raid killer. The others will provide support depending on the situation."

　Outside the door, a handsome young man in military uniform and an old gentleman in military uniform each responded.

　"Yes! Thank you, Lady Esdeath!" The man in military uniform laughed excitedly, carrying his giant axe as he walked out of the restaurant, shouting, "Experience! Kill stronger enemies! Gain more experience!"

　The three beast warriors were all loyal followers of Esdeath. If Esdeath hadn't experienced reincarnation, she would definitely not want to let them die. Now, it didn't matter.

　Everything is done to hunt for the perfect creature and end this endless cycle.

　"what."

　After sucking the juice off her jade fingers, Esdeath looked surprised and said, "The buns in this restaurant are quite delicious. It's worth the trip. I can take some back."

　-

　boom!

　Mo Yankong dodged the attack from behind. A huge double-edged axe struck where he had just walked. The immense force shattered the street tiles, sending debris flying everywhere. A long-haired, burly man in military uniform raised the axe and sneered at Mo Yankong, "You dodged it. You're quite skilled. No wonder you, a Night Raid assassin, dared to personally invite Lord Esdeath to join the rebels."

　"Are you Esdeath's subordinate?"

　Mo Yankong looked at the burly man in military uniform with great interest. No matter what kind of enemy he encountered, Mo Yankong was used to letting the opponent show off his skills first. One reason was to observe the opponent's habits and look for flaws. The other reason was that fighting itself was boring enough for perfect creatures, and it would be meaningless to kill the opponent at the beginning.

　Mo Yankong recognized the burly figure in military uniform as Daidas, one of Esdeath's three beast warriors. He wielded the imperial weapon, two large axes called Belvak. The imperial weapon's power was quite limited, functioning normally as a large axe, but flexing it to become a throwing axe. Basically, it was similar to the attack style of Noxus and his brother Draven in League of Legends.

　From the beginning, the three beast warriors had been monitoring Mo Yankong near the Peony Restaurant. That was why Mo Yankong took his time ordering food and waiting for Esdeath to arrive.

　Daidas raised his axe, making a roaring sound, and spoke in a tone full of arrogance: "My master is very particular about etiquette, so he didn't quarrel with you in the restaurant. Now that you have left the restaurant, you are nothing more than a night raider."

　On the rooftops of buildings on both sides of the street, handsome young beastmen gazed at Mo Yankong on the street below. Soon, another beastman, who looked like an elderly gentleman, returned and asked, "What do you think of this man?"

　"In my eyes, he has always been an ordinary man, but an ordinary man would not be so indifferent to Lady Esdeath's murderous intent. Moreover, he escaped Daidas's attack, which is very likely related to yesterday's attack."

　"I agree. I'm ready to support you at any time."

　"What were you doing just now? Lady Esdeath asked us to keep a close eye on him."

　The old gentleman looked distressed. "What else can I do? I'll go to the houses of the neighbors and ask them to open the water valves in the name of a soldier. It's not raining now, and without water, my imperial weapon will be useless."

　The old gentleman possesses the Imperial Artifact [Water Dragon Possession – Black Marlin], which allows him to freely manipulate any liquid he touches. If it rains, the power of this Imperial Artifact is comparable to Esdeath's Imperial Artifact [Magic God Appearance – Devil's Essence] in its normal state.

　"Haha, you really work hard." The handsome boy laughed, not knowing whether it was to comfort or gloat.

　In the dim street, facing Daidas's provocation, Mo Yankong smiled and said, "Then, please use your most powerful attack."

　"As you wish! But don't die like this. If you are not a strong enemy, you can't become my experience value." Daidas laughed ferociously, showing a mouthful of white teeth, holding the double-edged axe with both hands.

　There was a mistake in the middle, and the double-edged axe was split into two halves.

　"The imperial weapon [two great axes - Belwak], only the best warriors can use it well! Remember it with your body!" Daidas took a shot put posture and threw half of the giant axe in his hand with all his strength.

　Swish-

　The air whistled, and the giant axe maintained a strange balance in the air and spun at high speed. This ability was similar to the long-range attack method of the Pillar Man Kaz's Huicai Sliding Blade, but it had a built-in return function.

　Facing the incoming giant axe, Mo Yankong casually stretched out his hand and grasped it directly, catching half of the axe steadily.

　"Huh?" Daidas's jaw dropped in shock. The axe he threw could be broken in this way!?

　"The second time." Mo Yankong said calmly.

　"Shouldn't you have dodged? If you hadn't caught the axe, not only your hands, but your body would have been split in half." Daidas asked in confusion, sounding quite exasperated.

　This is embarrassing. If he continues to throw the remaining half of the imperial weapon in his hand and it is caught by Mo Yankong, it would be equivalent to giving the imperial weapon to the enemy for free.

　Mo Yankong said with a smile: "Why should I dodge when I can catch it?"

　"No, no, no, it's absolutely impossible for an average person to catch it. Even an experienced warrior would need a long time of training to have a good understanding of the force and speed of a thrown axe."

　"Now I catch it."

　Daidas said naively, "Um...that's right. Could you please return it to me?"

　Mo Yankong didn't waste any words and threw the axe to him.

　"Haha, what an idiot! You said you would give it back to me, but you are so naive!" Daidas sneered wildly, picked up the axe handle on the ground, and combined the two axes in his hands into a double-edged axe.

　Mo Yankong was speechless. This piece of junk was not even worthy of being placed among the imperial weapons. It was probably just used to make up the numbers. Its ability was even worse than that of the minister's weapon.

　Daidas reassembled the double-edged axe and asked, "What did you mean by the second time?"

　"Thirds of a chance never comes. You've used up two chances, leaving you with one last one."

　"what chance?"

　"You have one chance left to demonstrate your abilities."

　Chapter 207 Military Music Fantasy

　"Three chances, does that mean Daidas is only worth performing?" On the rooftop, Riva, an old gentleman who was one of the three beastmen, stroked his delicate mustache and pondered.

　Daidas raised his axe and pointed it at Mo Yankong. "I don't know what you're talking about, bastard, but are you looking down on me?"

　Mo Yankong shrugged: "I hope there is no misunderstanding."

　"Misunderstanding? Wait until I smash your head in with an axe, and then I'll give you a chance to explain."

　Mo Yankong said calmly, "That's why I said don't misunderstand me. I'm not targeting you. I'm talking about you three beast warriors and your master Esdeath. I look down on you all."

　"..."

　As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the three beast warriors changed. It was okay for Mo Yankong to insult them, but they had the highest respect and loyalty to their master Esdeath. These words completely angered them.

　Daidas bared his cold white teeth and spoke in a cold and sinister tone, "Well said, I'll kill you first! Niu, please play for me, a hymn of praise for this battle! He is a formidable foe, possessing unparalleled martial arts skills and the confidence to match them. It is precisely because of this that he is worthy of victory. You will die here and become a stepping stone for me to reach greater heights."

　Niu, one of the three beast warriors standing on the roof, stood up, took out her flute and put it to her lips. "Understood. But don't die, Daidas."

　Daidas scoffed, "I'm going to die? Don't forget that even Lady Esdeath once praised our cooperation."

　The handsome young man's sunny smile concealed murderous intent. Mo Yankong, looking down on the street, shouted, "That's not what I meant. No matter what I say, don't die from my flute. Although you can withstand the flute's enhanced power, the price is that you will overdraw your vitality. I will not hold back. Anyone who insults Lady Esdeath must die here!"

　"It doesn't matter. I've been fighting all my life. My life will only be valuable if I die in battle."

　The beautiful young Niu smiled with satisfaction and began to play the flute: "As expected of a battle maniac, then [Military Rhapsody - Scream], Cheats: Demon Enhancement!"

　The imperial weapon [Military Music Fantasy - Scream] has the ability to manipulate human emotions and is a rare strategic weapon on the battlefield. Soldiers infected by the flute sound can significantly improve their physical fitness in a short period of time and are not afraid of pain or death.
