Their commission was suspicious.

"It's not that I don't understand humanity; I understand it all too well. Human beings only unite and shine brightly when the world is on the verge of destruction. So I will help you save the world; there's no need to worry about that."

"Thank you for the compliment." Kikuchihara Aki was flattered.

"Don't be too happy yet. I haven't finished... However, after solving the most important external enemy invasion, humanity itself is the biggest problem," Chen Luo said with great certainty.

Humans never disappoint in their ability to be disappointing.

Of course, Chen Luo would not be disappointed in the human race because of this.

People are inherently a mix of good and bad.

The idea that everyone is a good person only exists in fantasy.

That's why Chen Luo was so enthusiastic about helping Alicia build the amusement park.

"You're being too absolute; I can't agree with that," Kikuchi Aki said, shaking her head.

"You don't believe me? Fine, let me tell you what's going to happen next. You'll receive a phone call immediately after learning I've arrived in the operations room..."

"Beep beep beep..." The phone rang.

Everyone was startled at the same time.

"Then, on the other end of the conversation is someone with a much higher official rank than you. First, he will praise your achievements and say that you have done a good job. Then he will tell you that he wants to see me."

"What? You want to see Mr. Grail? But that's against the rules," Kikuchihara Aki said, frowning as she held up her phone.

Then he looked up at Chen Luo.

Not a word wrong.

"Then guess what he'll wish for? Power, desire, money, fame, immortality... or world domination? Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to do that now. He'll wish that after he's saved the world, I'll help him fulfill that wish." Chen Luo smiled as always.

Kikuchihara Aki, on the other hand, looked troubled.

But soon, Kikuchi Aki, who was listening to the phone call, smiled again.

“Mr. Holy Grail, you guessed right, but you also guessed wrong. He praised me after I refused and asked me to refuse anyone else who called next,” Kikuchihara Aki said confidently.

"Because I brainwashed that idiot. Otherwise, would that power-hungry pig have given up this opportunity?" Chen Luo sneered.

"Although I rarely speak ill of people, he deserves it. Believe it or not, within 10 minutes you will receive his resignation letter, as well as a file containing all the evidence of his crimes, which will be made public and posted online."

"Don't look at me like that. This is also to help you. After all, people are always happy to see bad guys suffer, especially bad guys in high positions, rather than some inexplicable special attack that can be attributed to a gas explosion."

"So for the next period of time, you don't need to worry about using any news to cover up the actions of the created beings, because every time they take action, there will be an unlucky guy who will announce his crimes and apologize, and then... be executed."

"How was it? Did it effectively advance your work?"

"!!!"

Kikuchi Aki subconsciously took a step back and looked at Chen Luo as if he were a demon.

But soon, with Chen Luo's kind smile, this atmosphere instantly dissipated.

“But you’re lucky. Even though you didn’t do anything, I’m in a good mood today, and you’re a nice person too, so I’ll give this to you.” Chen Luo handed a bottle to Kikuchihara Aki.

"..." Kikuchi Aki took a step back in fear.

"Don't you want it? This is a wonderful thing that can prolong life. Even if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about your parents?"

"...Thank you." Kikuchi Aki reluctantly accepted the gift.

This was the first time that Aki Kikuchihara had a very direct feeling about how much destruction a created being could cause once it came into the world.

Although Chen Luo did not display any martial prowess and even acted very kindly, no one could ignore how terrifying he was.

Great terror often lurks in quiet places.

"Let's go, Merlin. Let's catch that troublemaking Chikujoin Makan, and then go rescue that magical girl who's just walking all the way to her doom." Chen Luo grabbed Merlin by the back of his collar and dragged him forward.

"Hey, I'll go with you, why did you have to hit me?"

"Because I know you don't want to come with me."

"You know you don't want to take me?"

"Why should I be the only one freezing in that desolate place at night?"

"..." Merlin gave Chen Luo the middle finger and then gave up resisting.

"..." Meteora glanced at Kikuchihara Aki, who seemed to be greatly shocked, and then chased after her.

Meteora had neither reason nor means to stop Chen Luo.

There's no way they can win in a fight, and what Chen Luo said makes sense too. Real-life gossip is much more interesting than virtual characters.

It's just a bit too much for high-ranking officials.

However, this is a real-world problem and will not put pressure on the world's restorative capacity, thus it will not accelerate the process of destroying the world.

Besides, it's actually quite interesting to see bad guys get into trouble.

……

"I've been wondering whether you're lying, or whether the people over there are lying. It's true that there are gods in this world, and it's certainly true that gods can change our world, but there's something very important you haven't said. It's impossible to shake the shackles of the world and thus increase the power of creation. Shaking the world only amplifies the distortion of colliding worlds. Isn't that right, Miss Altair?"

Mamika Kiraki, holding a magic wand, slowly emerged from the darkness and stood in the moonlight.

In the center of the moonlight, inside an unfinished building, a white-haired girl in a military uniform sat on the only sofa.

In addition, staring at a blond man whose abdomen was pierced by a blood-red spear and whose body was bound by chains extending from the spear, atop an unadorned concrete wall.

The blond man watched indifferently as Altair slowly rose to confront the pink magical girl, as if he were an outsider.

"So you finally know this name?"

“Someone told me. One of the enemies you call. That’s why I came here. If you intend to destroy this world, I must stop you, because I am the magic assassin Mamika. Because I am the protagonist of the story I love!” Mamika Kiraki said firmly.

At least before Altair spread those cult magical girl anime to this world, magical girls were always synonymous with healing.

The same applies to Mamika Kiraki.

"Why didn't you just go to their side without saying a word?" Altair asked coldly.

“Because that would be a disgrace to friendship. Miss Altair is also an important friend of mine, so I want to save you,” Mamika Kiraki said gently.

"..." Altair, who had been facing away from Mamika Kiraki and hadn't reacted even after Kiraki called out his real name, quickly turned his head because of Mamika's words.

"You're seeking revenge, aren't you? A promise with the god you love who also loves you. But expressing it through revenge feels too hollow. This world that connects you and your god, wanting to end it with revenge... that kind of ending feels too hollow." The magical girl's voice seemed to carry a hint of sadness.

Magical girls are too pure, and therefore too sentimental.

"But I can help you bear your sorrow. We all suffer different kinds of pain and sorrow in our original worlds. I am sure I can also bear your sorrow. I want to save your soul and... Setsuna's soul!" the magical girl said affectionately.

"Thud!" As soon as the magical girl finished speaking, a military knife pierced through her abdomen in an instant.

The magical girl staggered, staring at Altair in disbelief.

Finally, it was the second and third... until he was stabbed three times and had six holes in him.

"You act like you know everything... How could you know about her regret, her weeping, her lamentations, what do you know?" Altair's expression turned utterly disgusted.

With Altair's roar, a magic circle unfolded, and countless sabers appeared in Altair's distance, then all shot towards the magical girl standing in the center.

"Pfft!" The magical girl was instantly pierced by countless sharp blades, and then turned into countless flower petals.

Altair paused for a moment.

"Being a magical girl is such a dangerous profession... Now's the time! Merlin, hurry! Target—Altair's... sofa!"

"Chen Luo, you bastard! I knew you wouldn't bring me here for anything good!"

A streak of light, like a shooting star, instantly illuminated Altair.

"boom!"

A huge explosion rang out, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust. According to the law of no harm from smoke, Altair should be unharmed.

And indeed, that is the case.

Countless sabers spun continuously, forming a barrier and simultaneously acting as a blower to disperse the smoke and dust.

Unfortunately, Altair's sofa was also completely destroyed and reduced to ashes.

But when Altair saw the figure standing opposite him, he paused for a moment.

"We finally meet? What an interesting coincidence!" Altair smiled when he saw Chen Luo.

"You still have the nerve to laugh? If the creator is responsible for the creations, and you are seeking revenge for this world for your ally and creator, Shimazaki Setsuna, then... what crime do you deserve for bringing our creations into this world without any emotion or responsibility, using them as tools for revenge?" Chen Luo questioned, holding a crowbar.

Meanwhile, Merlin, who had been resurrected and was still clutching his waist, glanced at Chen Luo, who was starting to have fun again.

No, Chen Luo is doing this for dramatic effect, to provide creative material for the Root. In other words... he's being ordered to have fun!

Ahha is almost crying with envy.

"..." Altair fell silent.

"I forgot the beginning, I forgot the end... Since you believe that any created being that comes into this world and feels the world's malice has the right to seek revenge against its creator, and you are now that creator, then surrender and take responsibility properly. As compensation, please help me give birth to... capture a few more created beings. Thank you."

Chen Luotu revealed his true colors.

If they don't accept requests from Merlin, a visitor from another world, and they might not accept requests from Chen Luo either, then surely they should accept requests from Altair, who personally captured someone.

Chen Luo certainly didn't have Lü Xiucai's eloquence to persuade Altair to kill himself, but Chen Luo had the ability to "persuade."

【persuade】

1d68

Yes, Altair is indeed mentally resilient... but the success rate is still over 1/2. Less than 40% is enough to succeed!

and so……

1. [A Great Success]

"..."

Seeing this huge success, Chen Luo was completely overwhelmed.

Could this huge success have led to Altai attracting a large number of people?

Well, never mind, if Altair arrests too many people, we might as well just arrest Altair himself.

The problem is not big.

If Chen Luo helps Altair revive the island's Qisha later, then the matter will be considered settled.

Even great success is not entirely irreversible; a change in mindset can resolve it.

Of course, this is only a temporary solution.

The principles behind successful persuasion differ from those of mindset modification.

A truly successful persuasion is when the other person accepts your reasoning, and genuinely believes it from the bottom of their heart. (However, if you use persuasion on the world, it becomes the world's acceptance; in other words, it becomes a law recognized by the world.)

The reason Chen Luo didn't use consciousness modification at first was simply because persuasion wouldn't affect the output of the commission, but consciousness modification would.

You successfully persuaded Altair, so Altair feels she should indeed take responsibility for you, her creation.

"???"

"No, you only listen to half of what I say. I'm asking you to take responsibility and help me capture more created beings, not to take responsibility for yourself!"

Seeing the discrepancy between the huge success and his expectations, Chen Luo questioned Altair in disbelief.

Are you sick in the head?

“You’re right. As a creation, I do have a responsibility to you, my created being. Since it’s your request, I will definitely help you. So, tell me your wish.” Altair’s expression remained cold, but his tone softened considerably.

"???" Chen Luo was greatly shocked.

Reversing the Heavenly Gang?

Will you grant my wish?

Chen Luo often said this, but this was the first time he had heard someone say it to him like that.

"And what about me? I don't ask for much, just help me get Meryl out." Merlin clutched his lower back and moved forward slightly.

I am also one of Altair's "created beings". Altair should be able to hear my wishes, right?

"Get out," Altair said coldly.

"???"
