The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

'He seemed to be in bad shape during the battle with Margaret... He definitely didn't perform as well as he should have. '

'And he disappeared right after the game... His fans on the field were going crazy! '

'I got sick?Still encountered some unspeakable secret... It is impossible for the Business Federation to manipulate this. After all, they should favor Arthur more than Margaret's stubborn child. '

'By the way, this is the first time Arthur has failed in his career and lost the championship...'

'...You still have to go and see where he lives. '

Otherwise, Zofia would not be at ease.

……

Meanwhile, Arthur Pendragon has arrived at a tenement apartment he purchased.

This apartment is only known to a very small number of people who have close contact with Arthur.

And Arthur always comes back by sneaking into the shadows, so those fanatical fans and annoying reporters have no way of knowing where Arthur lives.

As soon as he got home, he sat on the sofa and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

His breathing became regular and his eyes became unfocused.

Black Snake's attention on the [Knight] began to shift to the Duchy of Cosiche, focusing on the egg-shaped building.

[Utopian Dream] is one of Black Snake’s more satisfying works.

The other bodies also began to slow down their movements as much as possible.

Mobius, who was staying in the laboratory, put down the experimental report in his hand. Capt, who was sitting on his desk, stopped activating the Origin Stone technology to observe the direction of the market. The tired Glenbeau began to take a short rest. It is a pity to announce that get out of class is over...

Black Snake is regaining its strength.

After all, there seems to be something wrong with His beloved work.

……

"I said, if we do this, the adults won't be angry~"

"What are you afraid of? We are all dead, and the remaining consciousness will not last long. What's more, the remaining consciousness and emotions in the initial [Snake Slough] have begun to wear away... Now is our best chance .”

"The best chance? A chance to betray your lord?"

"How many times have I told you, we have not betrayed you, sir..."

"Haha...have you forgotten? Your Majesty's orders are absolute, and your Majesty's will is eternal."

"But you, a guy who died hundreds of years earlier than me, definitely don't understand today's adults as much as I do! Absolute domination brings absolute freedom within the rules. I have dedicated my body and mind to that adult, so I will do it on my own Advocating sharing your worries is also a way of expressing my loyalty to you, and it does not violate the rules set by you... Do you really think that there are traitors who are not loyal to you among those who can become [Snake Slough]?"

"Subordinates cannot resist the wishes of adults!"

"Subordinates have the obligation to offer loyal advice to the adults! Let the adults become a better existence!"

"Your Excellency is already the most perfect existence, and there is no need for you self-righteous traitors to make your own decisions!"

"...Stop arguing. We don't have much time to exist. If you still want to use up your last bit of strength for Sir, then hurry up."

"Okay, okay... But is the child too young? She simply can't bear so much now."

"Such a despicable existence is not worthy of inheriting our power and serving the Lord... What's more, the object of her admiration is not the Lord at all, but just the incarnation of the Lord. It's really ridiculous."

"There has never been an incarnation. Adults have always been adults."

"We're running out of time."

"If I hadn't only had this chance, I definitely wouldn't have done it...but how could you stubborn guys get involved?"

"You don't really think you can do anything, do you? Unless the Lord is willing, nothing can change Him. When the Lord wants to change, it will change. It has been like this from eternity to the present... As Your Lord's slave , we just want to keep our strength and be loyal to you."

"Stop arguing... I can feel that my emotions are wearing away, my consciousness is gradually slipping away, and we are almost running out of time."

"Okay, okay...Sorry little guy, but it's all for that adult."

"Let her become a container! Crush her fragile will! Let her become the sharpest knife in the hands of adults!"

"Shut up! You lunatics... hang on, little one."

The pink-haired Zarak girl was wailing in pain in that white space.

She did not hear clearly the noise coming from all directions, because the impact of those memories and emotions made this girl who had only received the most basic training for a few months miserable.

She is just an ordinary little Zarak girl.

He was abducted by human traffickers to Casimir, bought by a knight named Arthur Pendragon, and then sent to the Duchy of Cosiche for simple training.

Compared to the days when he was a slave, his days in the Duchy of Cosiche were nothing short of heaven.

As long as you complete daily heavy but not excessive training, you can get a nutritious meal with average taste but sufficient portion.

You only need to recite "Snake Theory" (a book written by Black Snake himself to record his own words and deeds, which is full of 'educational' significance) and pass the test, and you can exchange for clean clothes and a warm bed.

Sanomi has always worked hard, so hard that she was able to obtain the [Reserve] qualification at a young age.

Whether it is because of the so-called gratitude, or in order to climb up and pursue a better life, she must work hard.

Whenever she was tired, she would recall Arthur's cheerful, sunny, and warm smile in her mind.

This can re-energize her to study, exercise, and improve her ideological awareness with a fuller attitude.

This is probably the power of longing.

……

But even so, she is just an ordinary [Reservist] at this time.

She couldn't bear the 'gift' of the remaining will from such a large number of [Snake Sloughs].

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

The girl's screams filled the sealed room.

Just when her nose, eyes, and ears were bleeding, and her voice was almost hoarse.

A gap suddenly opened in the white space, and an illusory finger came out of it and lightly tapped her forehead.

Black snakes are everywhere in the Duchy of Cosiche.

Xenomi's body gradually stopped bleeding, but the remnants of pain still made her almost unconscious.

……

At the same time, all the people in the Dukedom of Cosiche felt a vague sense of inexplicable sleepiness.

The authority of [Snake Scale] and [Happiness and Security Committee] in the territory has also been partially restricted.

What no one noticed was that a giant black python several hundred meters long wrapped around the egg-shaped building.

The body of this giant python looks like countless small worms put together.

He looked quietly at His work [The Dream of Utopia].

The line of sight projected from the indifferent snake eyes seemed to pass through the exterior of the building and directly hit a pink-haired Zalak who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.

'……interesting. '

Chapter 179 Zofia: Arthur, you have to wake up!

'That little guy can't handle that [residue]. '

'I didn't expect... that the scraps of [Snake Slough] could retain so much consciousness and emotion. '

'Unfortunately, this is not living in the true sense...but it would be nice to have new inspiration'

'It seems that I have to make some improvements to [Utopian Dream] again. At least I have to clean up the [residues]. '

'Fortunately, this time it was all [residues] containing [loyalty]. If there were some unclean things left in the memories that I deceived, it would be a bit troublesome. '

'Loyalty does not necessarily mean obedience, and obedience does not necessarily mean loyalty... This sentence is really interesting. '

'But for me, it just works. '

'Being loyal now does not mean being loyal in the future, being obedient now does not mean being obedient in the future. '

'Improving [Utopian Dream] is a big project, I must concentrate [attention]. '

'Mobius and Arthur are free now. Let's find an opportunity to recycle them. '

'As for this Zarak...well, increase training courses and strengthen ideological education. '

'Be the knife in my hand?Then what do I want you guys to do? '

'If I couldn't support such consumption, and the efficiency is too low... wouldn't it be simpler to make all of you into [memories] that only obey orders? '

……

Outside Arthur's apartment, a blond Kuranta woman wearing sunglasses and a mask, wrapped herself tightly, was holding a shopping bag.

The bag contained some expensive desserts, as well as some joke books.

Zofia knew that Arthur liked to eat desserts and listen to jokes.

She paced back and forth in the corridor, but refused to go in.

'Arthur can't think about it. '

After all, the way Arthur smiles every day makes Zofia feel like a child who has never experienced social beatings.

He seemed to have had a very smooth journey.

Just after his debut, he defeated the last knight champion from Letania, the Black Knight, and then he was able to steadily dominate his opponents in every game.

Arthur once joked with Zofia that he had never failed due to his outstanding talent since birth.

Zofia was dubious at the time.

After all, Arthur's hands have no calluses, and Zofia has never seen Arthur doing any training outside of competitions.

The other person's behavior always gave Zofia the illusion of a child who likes to play pranks... even though Arthur was not much different in age from her.

This may be Arthur's first defeat...

Zofia couldn't help but think back to herself back then.

In the early days of the competition, I was slandered because I refused to accept sponsors and corporate sponsorships; I felt depressed after losing for the first time in the competition; the hardships of training when I was a child...

Zofia felt that Arthur must be very sad at this time.

'What's more, his state that day was really wrong. '

Zofia felt that as Arthur's equal and sympathetic opponent, she had an obligation to visit him.

That's... I'm not worried about him!

……

"...Who?"

The master of attention management, who was still dealing with territorial affairs, slowly manipulated Arthur's body to stand up from the sofa.

Most of his attention now is still debugging the body of the pink-haired Zalak, fixing the bug in [Utopian Dream], and cleaning up the leftover materials that were ignored when making [Snake Slough].

Of the other bodies, what Arthur did was the least important.

……

As a black shadow passed by, the door opened.

"...Why don't you turn on the light?"

Zofia turned on the light switch with ease.

As Arthur's rival for four years, it made sense to have been a guest at his home.

Although Zofia was surprised at first why the other party lived in such an ordinary place.

"Haha...are you here to laugh at me?"

Arthur's smile did not change and he continued to maintain the posture of slumped on the sofa.

His attention was not here, so Arthur's behavior did not seem so natural.

The will ratio has been reduced.

"...I'm not you."

Looking at Arthur in a strange state, Zofia sighed inwardly.
