People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

Shining on everything, isn't that cool?

Who knows, there might be nursery rhymes like this in Casimir in the future, such as "The sun shines brightly, Ernst smiles at me!" Ernst would definitely like them!

So it can be said that Muirsay's teaching of Him was not in vain!

Unfortunately, He didn't get the chance to demonstrate His abilities.

Fortunately, He didn't get the chance to perform.

Otherwise, if Ms. Muirsey, who considers herself a fashionista, knew that her students had used the knowledge they learned from her to submit such a "so tacky it's trendy" final assignment, she would probably be furious!

"Your special effects assignment poses no threat to me in academia, but it will ruin my reputation in the education field!"

Yeragand was very sad to have lost such an opportunity to help his son gain exposure (and make a fool of himself).

Although the Kazimierz were quite sensible, and the scene where the entire city was gradually lit up with the Pegasus Arena as the center, accompanied by an exciting background music, was quite entertaining, Yeragand still felt that it was not as good as His "Ernst the Sun" plan.

However, despite the regret, Yeragand knew that although he had missed a good opportunity this time, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future if he was patient.

He had to deal with a few uninvited guests first.

The first uninvited guest was a Sarkaz with beautiful burgundy hair.

Jeragand has been watching her for a while now. This Sarkaz... how should I put it, she seems to have an unstable emotional state.

Why does she sometimes look on with longing eyes, sometimes seem on the verge of tears, sometimes smile with relief, and sometimes seem full of determination?

Yeragand had only ever seen such complex emotional changes in Enya, and the reason why the saintess was in such a change of expression was because she was facing Ensiodes, Ernst, and Ensia at the same time.

The principles of promotion and demotion, praise and blame, should not be based on differing opinions.

After a two-week probationary period with Yeragand, the Sarkaz girl who had been lying low—at least in Yeragand's eyes, she was a girl—was ultimately deemed harmless and removed from the surveillance area.

Although He hadn't yet pinpointed the girl's origin due to the limited vision and insufficient cross-border projection capabilities of the divine stone, Yeragand didn't perceive any malice from her. She was dressed like a master assassin, but so far, she hadn't initiated any actions detrimental to Ernst. Therefore, He would let her follow for now.

After all, Ernst is charming, so it's normal for young girls to be attracted to him. Even a god like Him is aware of this.

The second uninvited guest, however, was a bit more troublesome.

"[Time Sequence], wake up, we have a guest!"

Yeragand forcibly shook awake [Timeline], whose consciousness had wandered off to some unknown dimension. Before he could even ask a question, the alarm clock that [Timeline] had recently possessed began ringing incessantly, as if it had hit its appointed time. [Timeline's] usually lazy and calm voice had now become tense, even fearful and shrill!

"Holy crap, age!"

"Oh no, oh no, there's a box, there's a box! Jeragand, you've really ruined my life!"

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone to join in the fun. I'll never do it again. Do you think it's too late for me to apologize now?"

[Chronology] Muttering to himself, this confused Jeragand somewhat.

Who is 【岁】? Judging from the word 【时序】, it should also be a giant beast?

But the uninvited guests who are taking the train into Shelag are clearly two "people"!

And look at you, you coward! Is it really necessary to be so scared? Sherag is my territory. If a fight breaks out, I might not lose even on home turf. Besides, in addition to you and me, we also have [Sami] who can provide support at any time. To be scared before the battle even begins is a disgrace to the Sherag Beast Tea Party!

Hmph, considering I do owe you a favor regarding the Kazimierz matter, I'll let it slide this time.

[Time Sequence] clearly did not intend to get involved in the affairs of [Year] anymore, and Yeragand did not force Him to come forward to receive them, but simply asked about [Year]'s information out of curiosity.

[Chronology] After hesitating for a moment, he was originally a giant beast that had no sense of belonging to any place. He stayed in Sherag only because it was quiet enough. There would be no ignorant Sarkaz taking him running around the world, nor would there be any chattering Sarkaz babbling in his ear, making him a hardworking slave.

But now it seems that Sherag isn't entirely at peace either.

To be honest, He wasn't very confident that Jeragand could handle [Year], but considering [Sami's] existence, He felt it wasn't entirely impossible. So, with a sliver of hope, He cautiously revealed:

"Sui is a giant beast that lived in the east of the earth in ancient times."

"He is very powerful, and extremely ferocious towards other giant beasts! Although I have never fought him, he is notorious among the giant beasts! It is said that dozens of giant beasts have died at his hands!"

"Therefore, He was cursed by other giant beasts and attacked by the rulers of the rising Yan Kingdom in the east. In the end, it seems that He died, just like me."

[Chronology] He subtly used narrative tricks to glorify himself.

He also "died," but He was killed by Little Cat Egg Roll single-handedly, while [Sui] was killed by the entire army of Yan Kingdom when they were extremely weak and took advantage of their vulnerability. Of course, these are different.

But [Time Sequence] thinks there's no problem. What He said is true. Although He slid down very fast, He kept his back straight when He was kneeling!

Yeragand was still somewhat overwhelmed. He had heard Ernst mention Yan Kingdom, but he didn't know just how powerful it was, nor did Ernst.

The most striking impression that country left on Terra was its mystery.

So Jeragand asked:

"Is there any analogy?"

[Time Sequence] After a moment's hesitation, I replied:

"Hmm... Brother Sami and Brother Sui should be about the same strength."

Yeragand nodded knowingly, his expression turning serious.

That's indeed a bit tricky. Yeragand is aware of Sami's strength. As a behemoth, Yeragand's abilities are limited to controlling the weather in the Yeragand region and resisting natural disasters of that size. Sami, however, can simultaneously resist natural disasters, fight back against demons, protect the land, and even find time to heal its wounds. Each of these is a high-level operation that would take a behemoth a considerable amount of time to complete, yet Sami has done it all all at once!

At least, Yeragand felt that if Sami were to compete with Him for the authority to control the wind and snow, He would most likely lose.

If this "dead" [Year] had half the strength of the original body to cause trouble, then Yeragand would probably have to consider whether to use his full-size original body in battle.

Ernst had not yet returned. After a moment's consideration, Jeragand gave the instructions:

“In that case, [Time Sequence], go and contact [Sami]. I’ll deal with those two first and find out their intentions.”

[Time Sequence] I breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It's not about sending Him into the fight. He came to Shelag to enjoy himself! Fighting and killing are pointless!

Watching Yeragand's figure slowly disappear, in order to preserve the bed she had finally managed to fall asleep in, [Time Sequence] dared not delay and turned to call out to the letters on the stone table.

"Sammy, are you there?"

"1111?"

"CPDD?"

...........

On the other side, at Shelag train station, in the exit hall.

Looking with some curiosity at the enormous, twenty-meter-high semi-circular dome overhead and the ever-burning Originium lamps hanging down like stars, Nian nudged his younger sister beside him and asked curiously:

"Xi, use your taste to give this train station's decor a score."

"We're all abroad now, can you please change your flippant tone?"

Xi rolled her eyes, glanced across the hall, pursed her lips, and said softly,

"not bad."

Nian was slightly taken aback, then exclaimed with delight:

"It's rare to hear such high praise from the great painter Xi!"

"To be honest, I also think this place is pretty good! It seems we get along quite well!"

"Who wants to work with you? I'm just stating the facts."

Xi curled her lip in disdain, looking thoughtfully at the dome:

"If the dome were made of transparent glass, and the eternal lamps were made more exquisite and smaller, with a slightly larger number arranged in a certain pattern and density to create the feeling of the Milky Way, the viewing experience would be even better."

"It's clear that the designer had this idea, but perhaps due to some limitations, it ended up looking like this. It's a pity that what should have been a great painting lacked sufficient ink."

"My dear sister is amazing! She saw right through the designer's ideas. How about you apply to that high-ranking official Ernst and design one yourself?"

Nian laughed, patting his chest.

"Sister's in charge, if you treat me to a meal, I'll eat for you for free!"

Xi ignored the temptations of the year and remained unmoved.

She was used to Nian's loose tongue and how she'd get upset if she didn't say something to tease her. Well... it wasn't so much a habit, but rather that there was just nothing she could do about it.

This time, however, before she could reply, Nian stopped in her tracks first.

Xi turned her head with some confusion, only to see that Nian's expression had suddenly become somewhat serious and curious.

"What's wrong?" Xi asked.

Nian gestured with his chin towards the front: "The pick-up team is here."

Ahead, at the exit of the Sherag train station, Yeragand, or rather, Al, dressed in traditional Sherag attire, stood with her hands folded over her lower abdomen, offering the two a kind smile.

P.S.: For some reason, my external hard drive exploded today, and all my saved pictures and a lot of other things are gone. I took it to get repaired, but it's still not fixed. I had to download a new word processing software to type. Turns out, my Sogou Pinyin input method was also on the external hard drive, and after downloading it again, its input memory was gone! This means I have to search for each character in every name again, and my typing speed has decreased a thousandfold! I'm so angry!

Chapter 457 The Giant Beast Tea Party Upgraded to a Giant Beast Flowing Banquet

Shelag, Tukarim, Vales Cafe.

Amidst the rising steam from the cheese fondue, Ya'er's eyes sparkled as she looked at Nian and Xi, her surprise and curiosity almost overflowing.

"Really? Really? There are nine more fragments of behemoths like you?"

Xi was not good with words, and seemingly remembering something, she pursed her lips but did not answer. Nian, on the other hand, casually picked up the conversation:

"Originally, there were twelve siblings in my family, but unfortunately one of them went back to meet his parents early, so besides the two of us, there are only nine left."

"Meeting the parents?"

Ya'er paused slightly, silently repeating the word, but couldn't detect any joy or relief in Nian's seemingly nonchalant tone.

It seems that the word "parent" is not a praiseworthy term in her dictionary.

Then, noticing the sadness and fear on Xi's face that she tried so hard to hide but could not suppress, she suddenly understood what kind of being the "parent" that Nian was talking about was referring to.

That is age itself.

It makes sense, of course, the only one that can be called "parent" by the [Sui Pian]s like Nian and Xi is the complete entity formed by the [Sui Pian]s, the "father" in a certain sense, the one who is extremely unfriendly to the giant beasts and is as powerful as [Sami].

Does "meeting the parents" mean that He... that child He has never met has already been absorbed by the [Year] entity?

Ya'er felt a pang of regret.

The behemoths will not face true death; the disintegration of their bodies merely scatters their power into fragments. From a rational perspective, as a complete behemoth, Ya'er supports the behemoth's body reclaiming its power.

That was originally His, so what's wrong with taking it back?

From an emotional perspective, Ya'er cannot ignore the "New Year's Day" and "Evening Day" scenes.

Parents give life to their children, but that doesn't mean the children are their tools. Just like Himself, He has protected Sherag for thousands of years, treating these creatures that multiply on His body as His own children, but He has never felt that He has the right to ask them to do or not do anything, let alone ask them to give their lives for Him.

When He woke up one day, He saw the Saintess Temple of Manju Academy filled with the corpses of those young girls in the prime of their lives... He felt more self-blame and sorrow than shock. If He had woken up a little earlier, would they have not died of hunger and cold in the temple of the god they trusted most?

Therefore, He forcibly remained conscious, even resorting to His powers to alter His perception, and stayed by the side of the contemporary Saint Enya as the head lady-in-waiting, all to prevent the tragedy from repeating itself.

But the tragedy didn't just happen in Shelag; it happened all over the world.

Al was powerless to save them all, and even if Jeragand himself were to intervene, he would still be powerless to save them.

But at least, He can offer these two sisters a little bit of help.

"Don't be afraid, now that you're in Shelag, you'll be safe!"

Ya'er promised, then seemed a little doubtful.

"But why did you come to Shelag?"

Nian and Xi exchanged a glance, and Nian replied:

"My eldest sister said that my eldest brother sent us."

"My elder brother is listening to that old man, the Grand Tutor."

"That old man, the Grand Tutor, listened to what a man named Ernst said."

Ya'er was a little confused, but she still managed to accurately grasp the key words.

In short, it was Ernst's orders that were passed down, right?

At this point, Jeragand also remembered that Ernst had indeed mentioned this to Him: in the future, Sherag might encounter some giant beasts, and He hoped to ask for His opinion on whether He could accept them.

Ya'er had little sense of territory. She had been living in Sherag for thousands of years. Before meeting [Timeline] and [Sami], she didn't even know that she had her own kind. She naturally had an instinctive curiosity about her fellow human beings.

At the time, He thought that the "some behemoths" Ernst mentioned referred to the [Sami] who had just sent a wisp of will to Sherag via the letter carried by Typhon. Having already made contact with them, He naturally agreed. Little did He know that Ernst's "some" really were some!

Year, evening, and the older brothers and sisters they'll talk about in the future—a family of ten, if they all came to Shelag...
