This is not because Xia Chuanhu is being self-indulgent, but because someone has really done this before, and more than once!

It was around the time when he was traveling around the Mediterranean region. He passed by a small village and drove away a monster. As a result, he was worshipped by the local villagers. The local village chief even gave him the most beautiful girl in the village, saying that she was a sacrifice to God. He had encountered similar things countless times.

Listening to Xiachuanhu's explanation, Otto smiled slightly: "That's really a pity. If you want to get along with mortals like us as a god who saves the world, then Tianming is willing to resume the responsibilities of the church and spread the grace of God to the whole world."

"That being said... you don't think I'm a god at all, do you?" Xia Chuanhu smiled and crossed his legs. "You are not the kind of man who would believe someone else's one-sided words. Even if you believe it on the surface, you don't have any trust in your heart at all - I remember you are such a man."

"So, let's stop saying such meaningless things and let's go easy on each other."

"I made my request, and you agreed to it. In return, I will solve the things that can be defined as [disasters]. I think there should be something, right? Although I don't remember it so clearly, words like [Honkai] and [Hersherrs] have been spinning in my mind, and they don't sound good."

Having said that, Xiachuanhu unconsciously revealed a hint of the [divinity] that he had used to command Siegfried and Ragnar.

"Provide me with the most basic living environment, knowledge about this world, and...if necessary, I plan to try to contact my companions, and I may need your cooperation then."

"That's all for now - if I can, I will resolve this world's [certain level of] disaster if it encounters one."

A simple, yet vague condition.

Otto held up his hands. "You are trying to get something for nothing. Let's not talk about whether we, the Destiny, are able to meet your requirements. Even if we meet all your requirements, you will only take action when the disaster is serious enough... So, even if we encounter a world-destroying disaster, you have every reason not to take action."

"In addition, with all due respect, I have a small doubt as to whether your power can really be called divine. Could you please give us a hint first?"

(Oh, this can also be considered as a way of getting something for nothing.)

Xia Chuanhu laughed twice in his heart.

He could understand Otto's intention. After all, he appeared suddenly. Even if he did show strong enough power, it was not a reason for Otto and Destiny to agree to his conditions unconditionally. He needed to show greater power and demonstrate more value before Otto would accept his conditions.

He had seen too many similar situations in the past and had become somewhat numb to them.

(Even if we change the world, this situation won't change much, whether it's humans, gods, or others... It's amazing that the same trick can be used by humans and gods.)

(Never mind, just consider it as a greeting.)

"Show off your skills, sure."

"So......"

"Then let's do it now. The location is also here."

Otto was about to say that he wanted to prepare a stage for Xiachuanhu, but Xiachuanhu interrupted him directly.

Now? Right here?

"Don't worry, it won't have much of an impact and will be over soon."

Not even bothering to get up, Xia Chuanhu just sat on the sofa in a relaxed posture, with his hands crossed on his abdomen, his sky-blue eyes quietly looking at Otto, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

He seemed to have done nothing.

but.......

"—————————!"

At some point, a slight vibration seemed to occur in the office that was shrouded in silence, and as time passed, the vibration became stronger and stronger, as if the space itself was being affected, knocked, and hit by something.

Otto was silent again.

Obviously no physical changes occurred, and nothing in the room was affected, but he could clearly feel the vibration, and even his body vibrated involuntarily... or trembled.

In his eyes——

Is this enough?

Xiachuanhu, whose body was as huge as a mountain, looked down at Otto from above, and from his lips, without opening or closing, came a sound that went straight to the depths of his brain and soul.

This is not some kind of means, it is simply the diffusion of aura and will, the manifestation of mental power.

Just like when people face certain dangerous people, their bodies will inexplicably start to shiver and shiver, the current situation is similar.

Breath, aura, will... No matter in which field, anyone who has reached the first-class level can vaguely sense it, and the stronger, the clearer it can be felt. And now, facing Xia Chuanhu in front of him, Otto felt that he was as small as an ant, and his life of more than 500 years was like a small, fleeting wave in the vast ocean.

"Okay, let's stop here."

In an instant, as if everything just now was an illusion, Xiachuanhu in Otto's eyes returned to normal: "If you continue, I'm afraid my lunch will not be served until tomorrow. I wish you a happy cooperation in the future, Otto Apokalis."

"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually a very low-key man."

9. Little Kiana is also very cute

Not long after that, the ten bowls of fried rice ordered by Xia Chuanhu were delivered.

To be honest, his appetite was not small. Even Altria's appetite was only about the same as his. He could even eat more. Ten bowls of fried rice would only make him 40% full. However, for him, this amount was enough to relieve his hunger.

While eating, Xiachuan Hu also learned what he wanted to know from Otto.

According to the calendar of this world, it is now the summer of 2005. Five years have passed since the second collapse in Xiachuanhu's memory. As Otto's narration continued, Xiachuanhu's memory became clearer bit by bit, corresponding one by one with what Otto said.

For example, in order to defeat the Second Herrscher, Cecilia Shaniat, the strongest S-class Valkyrie of the Destiny, sacrificed herself. In order to cover the retreat, Cheng Lixue, the strongest A-class Valkyrie of the Destiny, volunteered to face the Second Herrscher alone... Memories like these are not much different from the description.

But intuitively, Xia Chuan Hu always had a sense of disharmony, as if Otto had not told him the whole truth. And when he realized this, Xia Chuan Hu did not feel any surprise in his heart, as if this man had always been like this, and it was impossible for him to tell the whole truth and facts with this mouth.

Even... to put it a little exaggeratedly, since he has this face, he can't be a good person?

(How strong was the impression I had of him before I was 18? It’s been so long, but he still left such a deep impression on me…)

After complaining a little about his past self, he finished the last bowl of fried rice in his hand, stacked up the bowls that were so clean that they might not even need to be washed, and licked the corner of his mouth.

"Well, I roughly understand the situation."

"The disaster that accompanies civilization, [Houkai]. And the messenger who carries out the will of Houkai and wants to destroy all mankind, [Herrser] - generally speaking, the focus is on these two, right?"

Although Otto had described it to him and he did understand something about the Herrscher, Xia Chuanhu was unable to dig out the more detailed parts from his memory. He might have to wait until he actually met the Herrscher before he could remember them. It would not be enough to get enough stimulation just by relying on the descriptions of others.

"Then I'll give you a definite answer. If a new Herrscher appears, I will definitely help him. And I will do it voluntarily. If you insist on discussing compensation, you can just prepare a symbolic midnight snack for me."

"Besides these situations, if you want me to take action for your personal will, it depends on whether you can convince me."

Quite confidently.

Otto smiled and raised his eyebrows. "Nothing can be more reassuring than getting your promise. Please allow me to thank you for your support on behalf of Tianming. Tianming will not forget your righteous act."

As for whether Xia Chuanhu can defeat the Herrscher - this question does not need to be asked now. If he can defeat the Herrscher, it means that humans have gained a combat power that surpasses the S-class Valkyrie for free, which is a great thing. Even if he cannot defeat the Herrscher, it will not cause any negative impact and will not cause any loss to Destiny.

Only when he defeats the next Herrscher will his influence be truly reflected.

Xia Chuanhu also knew about this kind of thing.

"Let's stop here and talk about business. Next, could you help me solve some living problems? Let me think about it... Just lend me an apartment with a decent environment."

Xia Chuanhu is not picky about where he lives. He can sleep anywhere, from the palace of the gods to simple caves in the wild. But if possible, he still prefers to live in an ordinary room. After all, this is closer to humans.

"That's no problem, but before that, can I ask you one more question?"

"Go ahead."

"Regarding the one I saw in the video but haven't seen yet... [Synthetic Spirit], is that what you call it? Can I ask something about it? Judging from her appearance, she should have an inseparable relationship with the former pillar of Tianming?"

Want to ask about the synthetic spirit?

"Okay, whatever you want to know."

--------------------------

Siegfried felt that his current condition was terrible.

“Click…Bang…”

He opened the door and returned to his home. Siegfried sat down at the coffee table as usual. He pressed his whole body on the sofa and looked up at the slightly empty ceiling.

(That's... Cecilia.)

Can't go wrong.

Even though they had not seen each other for five years, he had never forgotten his wife for a single moment in these five years, so he could conclude that the ghost-like being who occasionally transformed into other people was indeed Cecilia.

but why?

Why would Cecilia, who had been dead for five years, come back in that form? And become the puppet of that boy?

“…Tsk.”

When he thought of this, Siegfried couldn't help but curl his lips.

As a man and a husband, he felt really bad seeing his wife being described as a puppet by others. At that moment, he raised the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire and aimed it at the young man. It was more of a manifestation of his inner instinct than an unconscious behavior.

That was his wife, not a puppet at all.

Can......

【No Rejection】

Lead the way, human.

That oracle-like command still remained in Siegfried's heart, along with the figure of that young man who was so huge that no one could resist him.

"Is that guy... a god?"

"God? Dad, what are you talking about?"

A childish voice sounded in Siegfried's ears, pulling him back from his trance. Then he saw his daughter standing in front of him - a little girl who looked a bit like him, but had more similarities with Cecilia. Her name was [Kiana Kaslana].

Reaching out and rubbing his daughter's head, Siegfried smiled and said, "Nothing, Daddy was just talking to himself. Sorry, Kiana, Daddy promised you that you would have a good day today, but he suddenly went out to work."

"It's okay, Dad! Work is the most important thing. Dad is the most powerful person in the world right now, so it's normal for him to be busy at work!"

Little Kiana said sensibly.

Perhaps it was because she lost her mother's influence five years ago. She is only 7 years old this year, but she has already shown a maturity different from her peers. She has no complaints about Siegfried who has to go out on field work every now and then. She has always been well behaved at home. Every time Siegfried comes back, he can see his daughter welcoming him home.

He was very glad that he had such a good daughter. The reason why he was able to get over the pain of losing his wife five years ago was the result of his and Kiana's joint efforts and mutual support.

but now......

(Cecilia...that boy...)

Recalling what happened before involuntarily again, the smile on Siegfried's face gradually turned serious.

(Whether for my sake or for Kiana’s, I have to investigate this matter thoroughly—)

"Ding dong!"

Siegfried had just thought halfway when the doorbell rang.

Signaling Kiana to stay, Siegfried stood up and walked out of the living room, came to the door and opened it: "I'm here~~~Excuse me, who is it——"

The greetings stopped abruptly.

The figure that appeared in front of Siegfried was Xiachuan Hu, who had met him dozens of minutes ago.

"It's been a while since we last met, Mr. Siegfried. I hope I didn't disturb your rest by coming to visit you without asking for permission." Xia Chuanhu smiled, "There are some things I want to talk to you... and your daughter about. It's about your wife. Could you give me some time?"

"..."

This is really the worst day - Siegfried complained in his heart.

10. First of all, I am not a lolita fan. Secondly, Kiana is really cute

After following Siegfried into the living room, Xia Chuanhu saw the small figure sitting on the sofa watching TV at first sight, and some memories naturally emerged in his mind.

Although the age doesn't match, the iconic white double braids...

"Kiana Kaslana?"

Xia Chuanhu said the girl's name with some uncertainty.

When she heard someone calling her, little Kiana looked over, and then -

"Wow~~~What a beautiful person!"

She uttered the compliment innocently without any extraneous thoughts, but she soon realized that it was a bit rude of her to say so, and her eyes and neck shrank together.

Seeing this scene, Siegfried laughed dryly: "I'm sorry, my daughter is a little... Kiana, daddy and I... this person... uh..."

For a moment, Siegfried didn't know how to address Xiachuanhu.

"Just call me Xiachuan, or Tora is fine."

Xiachuanhu came to Kiana with a smile, squatted down in front of her and rubbed her head with his hand: "Hello, little sister Kiana, you are really as the rumors say, a very cute little princess. My name is Xiachuanhu, please take care of me in the future~~~ Here, this is a meeting gift."

He pulled out a strand of his hair and squeezed it slightly in his palm, and the hair turned into a lily in Xia Chuanhu's hand.
