Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

As Luo Zhen descended, the high temperature generated by friction formed a crimson circle around him.

Aldebaran, whose body was stiff and unable to move, was overwhelmed by panic.

The brain keeps sending commands to the body to escape, but the body remains frozen in place.

In my line of sight, those scarlet compound eyes kept getting bigger.

The murderous intent contained within it rendered Aldebaran's body completely powerless to resist.

He could only watch helplessly as the opponent's attack drew ever closer.

Until it occupied the entire field of vision.

Finally, Luo Zhen's flying kick landed on Aldebaran's body.

Like a balloon hitting cotton, there was no loud noise, no dazzling flames, and no spectacular light pollution.

With a light somersault, Luo Zhen landed far away from Aldebaran.

With his back to Aldebaran, Luo Zhen lifted his foot and left.

Not far from Aldebaran, Pleiades stared blankly at the scene, its mandibles, aimed at Luo Zhen, beginning to stir once more.

As Luo Zhen took his first step, a peculiar pattern slowly appeared where Luo Zhen had kicked Aldebaran.

The intense heat surged within, growing hotter and faster.

At a certain moment——

"boom!!!!"

Like a nuclear explosion, a huge mushroom cloud shot into the sky.

Pleiades, who was preparing to launch an attack, was also caught up in it.

If someone were to look at Japan from a satellite at this moment, they would clearly see that this open space suddenly lit up with a brilliant light.

With his back to the center of the explosion, Luo Zhenqi's figure appeared blurred by the flames.

The shockwave from the explosion and the blown-away limbs and debris seemed to have no effect on it whatsoever.

"Have you figured it out?"

Kadoya Tsukasa, who had appeared at the edge of the battlefield at some unknown time, crossed his arms and looked at Rōzō, asking a question.

"Who knows?"

Without directly answering Tsukasa Kadoya's question, Rōzō walked past him.

Watching Luo Zhen's departing figure, Kadoya Tsukasa curled his lip.

Are you and I playing the riddle-solving game here?

Chapter 429 The Reason for the Battle and Peeping

"Okay, so strong."

Looking at the light screen in front of him, the Holy Emperor had a blank, idiotic expression.

She looks just like the female protagonists in some of Eriri's works who have been overused and abused.

No wonder, seeing such a powerful scene would leave most people speechless with shock.

The screen displayed the mushroom cloud created by Luo Zhen's nuclear-explosion kick.

From this perspective, it is very clear that a large portion of the Gastrea that originally filled the field of vision has suddenly been cleared out.

It felt like it had been forcefully erased with a cherry blossom eraser.

With Aldebaran's death, the Gastrea, which had been attacking like a relentless tide, immediately began to riot.

Although it was noticeably more ferocious than before, it was still much better than the very methodical attacks of the past.

This war will likely come to an end soon, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Seeing this, the Holy Emperor fell completely silent.

At that moment, she seemed to understand a principle.

Sometimes, sheer numbers are useless against a powerful opponent with overwhelming strength.

It's theoretically possible to exhaust an elephant to death, but in reality, it's highly impractical.

The holy emperor, who originally favored the idea of ​​"everyone uniting to resist the enemy," suddenly leaned towards the path of "possessing great power for himself."

"That's natural."

Tokiwa Sougo, with his legs crossed, casually leaned back in his chair.

Compared to the Holy Emperor, who was so shocked that he couldn't speak, Tokiwa Sougo seemed much more relaxed and at ease.

It felt like watching a movie.

Since obtaining the power of the Oma Zi-O, Tokiwa Sougo has developed all sorts of uses for it.

This kind of voyeurism is just one example.

This kind of statement sounds a bit like that of a certain purple-clad old man...

At a certain moment, the author, who was typing on the keyboard, seemed to sense something and silently deleted the last few words.

A beautiful woman in purple.

Ahem, let's get back to the topic.

Before the light screen, the Holy Emperor stared blankly at Luo Zhen, who was back to the firelight, his thoughts unknown.

"Give up. The technology of your world is not yet capable of this."

As if he had seen through the Holy Emperor's thoughts, Tokiwa Sougo, who was playing with a watch, said in a calm tone.

He just made this watch in about two seconds out of boredom.

He casually tossed it onto the table and looked at the light screen, saying:

"It's fine to concentrate a lot of resources on one person, but that's the limit of your world for now."

The clock made a crisp sound as it hit the table, jolting the Holy Emperor from his unrealistic fantasies.

Looking at the clock on the table, the Holy Emperor's expression was somewhat complicated.

In her conversations with Tsukuyomi over the past two days, she also learned about the function and significance of clocks.

It's hard to imagine that such a small timepiece could contain such powerful energy.

What was the meaning of their last conversation?

Forcing himself to turn his head, the Holy Emperor looked at the light screen and asked.

It's impossible to be completely free of greed.

After all, this is the capital that allows an ordinary person to roam freely in this world.

Especially after witnessing such a horrific scene, some people might indeed let their greed outweigh their reason.

Never overestimate how strong a person's will is.

When the chips reach a limit, all bottom lines and persistence become meaningless.

"Perhaps that's the reason for the battle?"

Upon noticing the Holy Emperor's actions, Tokiwa Sougo's lips curled into a slight smile.

It seems he has a good eye for people.

As expected of me.

Actually, if he wanted to, replicating a simple knight system wouldn't be a problem at all.

But why would he do such a thing?

Prometheus stole fire, not mature technology.

He understood the principle that it's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish.

"The reason for the fight?"

The Holy Emperor looked at Tokiwa Sougo with some confusion.

"Ah."

Tokiwa Sougo didn't keep the Holy Emperor in suspense and said very directly:

"Most people need a reason to fight, whether it's to protect or for justice."

"A love of fighting is also a reason."

"Normally, after gaining power, knights go through a process of searching for their true selves and understanding the reasons for fighting."

"But Luo Zhen skipped that step and got his reason for fighting from somewhere else."

"While this certainly kept him fighting, what was he really thinking once the conditions for that reason to fight were removed?"

“This is not his world, and he has no responsibility to protect it.”

"So what exactly is he fighting for?"

Looking at Luo Zhen on the light screen, Tokiwa Sougo said calmly.

Although Ryougi himself felt that his dawdling was pretentious, Tokiwa Sougo didn't think it was a problem.

Even without a reason, it's much better than getting a reason from somewhere else.

Has he figured it out?

The Holy Emperor asked, seemingly understanding but not quite.

She seemed to understand Luo Zhen's thoughts.

"Who knows?"

With his chin resting on his hand, Tokiwa Sougo repeated Luo Zhen's original words.

It's unclear whether they've found him or not.

But it's clear that Luo Zhen has already made a decision in his heart.

Returning our focus to the outskirts of Tokyo, the massive numbers of Gastrea gradually receded under the Knights' sweeping action, leaving behind a trail of remains.

"It's over."

At the giant stone monument, the police officers holding guns stared blankly at the receding Gastrea tide.

After Aldebaran died, many Gastrea were already driven to flee.

But driven by their raging brethren behind them, they had no choice but to continue toward the giant stone monument, marching toward death.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the thick clouds and shone brightly on the earth, giving the battlefield, which was like a meat grinder, a golden edge.

The originally bloody and grotesque Gastrea remains did not seem so terrifying under the cover of this gold trim.

At the edge of the horizon, several tall figures stood silently on the earth.

As the police officer watched those figures, his throat bobbed involuntarily.

He had originally prepared himself to die in battle, but it was these few people who managed to turn the tide and seize control.

This turned the tide of battle from one where the human side, caught off guard and with many deserters absent, was being crushed to the other.

No, that's not entirely accurate.

In fact, only a few people were truly crushed.

Compared to the police officers, the motorcyclists didn't seem to be feeling particularly heavy-hearted.

"Let's finish this soon, or Xiaoxu and Shuhua will start complaining."

"I'm quite free, anyway, I don't have much to do."

"After this is over, I will go back to the temple and meditate in seclusion for a while."

Watching the knights leave side by side, Tsukasa Kadoya turned to Rōzō and asked:

What are your plans after this?

"I'm going back to school."
