Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

It was all that woman's fault for being shameless enough to approach me first!

Such emotions can be easily read from Mana Sakuragi's deep red eyes.

Mana Sakuragi doesn't care about Ryougi Shiki herself, she just wants the appearance of an equal existence to confirm her own status.

At a time like this, isn't it faster to explain with actions rather than to stop it?

Roland held Sakuragi Mana's hand. At this distance, Miss Mana, who was originally angry, suddenly let out a cute exclamation.

"ah--!"

The girl cried out softly, her pretty face flushed, and her rapid breathing quickly calmed down after a few twitches.

"Lord Roland!"

Mana Sakuragi pursed her lips slightly, her expression relaxed, and her dreamy eyes stared at Roland's face, with a pink hue on her pretty face.

This expression made Roland's mouth curl up in joy. Seeing this scene, Miss Sakuraman Mana turned her head away awkwardly.

Then, a precise straight ball hit her heartstrings.

“I really like my real name.”

Roland said with a smile, forcing his gaze to meet hers. Although his action was a little excessive, it was precisely because of this that Sakuraman Mana could not avoid those blood-red eyes that seemed to be filled with mist but emitting a bright light.

"So, you don't need to have any concerns."

The interpretation of the wall of the heart in the power of the apostles is indeed quite convenient, especially for Roland. Even though Adam and Eve were separated as individuals, their hearts were still very harmonious without any unnecessary barriers.

Just convey your most direct feelings.

——Even when she was angry, she was still very cute when she slightly frowned and pouted.

"How cunning! You clearly know that I can't resist this."

Sakuramitsu Mana muttered.

Roland was a man of sweet words, but compared to the conventional meaning, being able to speak such sincere words from the heart within the wall of the heart where one could not hide one's true intentions, in such a Shura field situation, could also be called a talent.

However, the effectiveness of this talent is also very outstanding.

"Well, as compensation, I won't even give you a chance to rest tonight, Master."

Looking at Mana Sakuragi who was looking at him smugly and asking for something with confidence, Roland rubbed her soft hair helplessly.

"What a greedy child."

"After all, you were the one who made the mistake first. You left your lovely partner in the snow and went home with the other girls. No matter how you look at it, it's too much, isn't it?"

Mana Sakuragi gave a sly smile and said in a slightly coquettish tone.

"Um...ahem."

From the corner of the sofa behind Roland, a light cough from Fujino Asagami was heard, interrupting the increasingly heated atmosphere and Roland, who was already getting a little restless.

The girl looked at Roland and Sakurami Mana, who were pressed tightly together, with a resentful look.

Although her attitude towards Roland is very similar to Mana's, she is the kind of woman who will bear it obediently and is not greedy at all, but she still retains some of her human side. She cannot ignore the surrounding environment like Mana Sakuragi and talk about those things anytime and anywhere.

At some point, Ryougi Shiki put down her empty ice cream and took out a short knife from somewhere, playing with it casually. The cold light emitted by the blade was reflected in her clear pupils, and she would occasionally sweep it over Roland, looking very indignant.

"Okay... Let's talk about the rest tonight. How is Araya Soren? I didn't hear you report the results of the battle to me immediately."

"That rascal……"

Hearing Roland's words, Sakuraman Mana also looked a little distressed.

"He's simply a monster... He seems to have been completely assimilated by the nature of his own soul, becoming an existence that is neither life nor soul, but more like a concept."

"Even though his hands were chopped off and his internal organs were crushed, he was still able to move freely despite the injury. He didn't bleed much, and only wet his clothes. According to common sense, such an injury should have caused a river of blood."

Roland was not surprised to hear Mana Sakuragi's complaints. Although the technology to unlock the origin was at the same level as the prototype of Aozaki Touko's body on the technical level, the degree of danger was two different things.

Origin is "the direction of things that occur from the initial cause" and is the fundamental factor that determines why one exists. Therefore, no matter whether one is reincarnated or not, or what kind of existence one is born as, one will unconsciously deviate in this direction according to the direction at the time of occurrence.

For example, Shirou Emiya’s origin is the sword, which has left a deep mark on his growth and even his power system.

The awakened originator will also be devoured by the origin. While gaining powerful strength, the personality of only a hundred years will also be covered by the direction generated from the original beginning.

Araya Soren is such a special existence. Although he holds the concept of "stillness", his personality is not completely covered up. With the passage of time, he himself has become the theoretical embodiment of the phenomenon of stillness.

"Even the spread of the virus crystals is barely noticeable. If he wasn't really infected, I would have thought that guy was a corpse. Plus, that barrier seems endless. If I don't use my specialized power to break it directly, I can only use the output that wipes out his entire body."

Finally, Zhenming came to this conclusion.

"As a human being, it's really scary."

In terms of results, you, who performed those torture-like actions in such a casual tone, would probably be more terrifying in Araya Soren's eyes.

Roland sighed and turned to look at Ryougi Shiki.

When the kimono girl noticed his gaze, she stopped playing with the knife and instead made a fake stroke in the air to show her determination.

"That guy can only be killed by me."

No matter what happens, Ryougi Shiki can't let go of the culprit who caused everything.

"Got it. I'll let you kill him with your own hands. Oh, by the way, I also like Shiki and Fujino... and everyone else."

Roland said nonchalantly that he had never cared about the fate of Araya Soren's death. Just as the Root Style said, the ceremony had already begun when he obtained the full picture of the heaven's ceremony and stepped into Guanbuzi City.

From the past and the future, the invisible gravitational force will naturally pull over everything he needs.

But unlike Asagami Fujino, whose face turned red and she curled up on the sofa with a silly smile after the confession, Ryougi Shiki's reaction to such shameless remarks was much stronger.

"incredible!"

Her face flushed with embarrassment, but that didn't stop her from immediately giving Roland a trashy look.

"Don't confess your feelings to another woman just now and then continue to confess your feelings to me as if nothing happened! Idiot!"

After spending some time coaxing Shiki into submission and eliminating an invisible Shura field, he flexed his fingers, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and murmured, "So, this is a bond."

After the incident just now, he was in a very good mood indeed. That bright and strong emotion hit Roland's strike zone directly.

Since absorbing the power of the apostles, Roland has been able to sense the emotional fluctuations of people around him and respond differently based on different emotions.

At this point, Roland also understood why many villains admired the good people who hindered them, because the emotions of such unique people were so vivid and beautiful that people couldn't help but want to touch them.

When he was with them, he felt his souls gradually merge and blossom with more intense colors. This was a very pleasant thing for Roland.

This chaotic malice and chain of ties will gradually transform the shackles of fate that bind oneself or others into assistance.

Kotomine Kirei was right, he really didn't need to do anything, because in the process of encounter, rewriting the plot, manipulating the protagonist, and even conquering the world and condoning all evil deeds, these behaviors born from Roland's existence will step by step deepen his connection and resistance to fate.

Roland did not dislike doing evil. What he disliked was the shackles that restricted him to being evil and not being able to do anything else.

It was just like in the original world, Roland rarely went out, but when he was locked up and couldn't go out, even though his life hadn't changed much, he still felt something was wrong.

Whether it is becoming a hero, eliminating the influence of the contracted spirit, or choosing to complete the relationship with Lilith and Eve, these actions themselves are the embodiment of his wishes.

What is born from twisted and chaotic malice is not only disaster, but also salvation, and what is born from it is the key to open the kingdom of heaven.

After realizing this, Roland gradually became clear.

The first stage of the ceremony has come to an end, and in the opening of the second stage of the ceremony, the sacrifice of the first soul is also a necessary condition. He represents an important step for Roland to write his existence into the Type-Moon world itself.

It not only represents the beginning, but also symbolizes reincarnation.

Therefore, the selection of personnel is naturally very crucial. It is impossible to simply find some criminals to replace Father Pucci like in the original book.

However, Genyuanshi did not give any further explanation about the selection of the first soul.

Roland fell into deep thought.

At her level, it is impossible for her to ignore this, so does this mean that I don't need to find the first soul at all, it will come to me on its own?

-

In the gradually declining office district of Guanbuzi City, buildings politely stand side by side at the same height on the roadside.

The side facing the street was all glass windows, now just reflecting the moonlight. The buildings standing side by side on the street seemed like a shadow world where a strange person was wandering.

The tallest shadow at the deepest part is a twenty-story building that looks like a ladder, although it was once a famous high-end apartment.

But with the passage of time, the name of this building has declined along with its owner. Although for some reason, the new owner of the apartment is still recruiting tenants sporadically, it cannot change its decline.

However, tonight, a tall man appeared on the roof of the building.

"Hey, Araya, I don't have time to play around in this city with you. Unlike you who are still, my time is very precious."

The one who broke the silence was a young man in a red coat.

He has dark golden hair, blue eyes, and a face that looks like it was carved out. He has an elegant temperament. Judging from his age, he is probably only in his twenties, which makes him look out of place with the old and desolate Ye Zonglian.

But no one would have thought that the two of them were old friends who studied together.

"I have also provided you with the technology required for the barrier you requested. Now, is it time for you to fulfill your promise?"

The red magician urged anxiously, not having the leisure to appreciate the decaying scenery below. If Araya Soren hadn't given him a reason he couldn't refuse, he would never have set foot in this small city in the Far East in his life.

"Cornelius Aruba, there is no need to worry, the plan has not been affected."

Araya Soren responded to his old friend's question in a dry voice, "Although there are indeed unexpected situations, they are still under control."

"Not affected?"

The man named Aruba's face twisted.

"You haven't even completed the fusion of your body and the barrier, and you've lost most of your chess pieces. How can I continue to trust you? For your plan, chess pieces that can withstand your skills are indispensable!"

Aruba is totally unable to be as calm as Araya Souren. Although he is only an assistant, he will not be able to achieve his goal if Araya Souren does not complete his plan.

In Araya Souren's entire plan, in addition to the core stronghold itself, those chess pieces that have awakened their origins are also indispensable.

Although they possess such terrifying technology, not everyone is qualified to awaken the origin.

If any one of them is missing, the plan will be delayed, and he doesn't have that much time to waste here.

"I said it before, I am not affected."

Araya Soren glanced at Aruba and spoke slowly in a worrying voice.

"The candidate for replacement has been found. He is an agent from the Holy Church."

"The Holy Church, the agent?"

These two sensitive words calmed down the anxious Aruba. He frowned and subconsciously lowered the brim of his hat.

As long as one is a magician, no matter which force he is in, he cannot ignore the existence of the Holy Church. When he was young, Aruba had served as an executor of the Magic Association to complete some tasks. He knew very well how difficult those agents were. Competition and fighting were scenes that often occurred. How could such an existence that was incompatible with a magician actually join Araya Soren's plan?

As if he could see Aruba's doubts, Araya Souren explained in a low voice.

"He has been a formal priest for some time. He has also had experience in exchanging with the Magic Association and training in a magic family. He can understand my plans and wishes."

Are the conditions so suitable?

After a long silence, the magician in red looked at Araya Soren with suspicion.

"Where did you find it?"

Hearing this question, a hint of emotion appeared in Araya Soren's deep eyes.

“As strange as it may sound, this is not him I’m looking for.

——He came to me on his own initiative.”

Chapter 174 Originated from the Pleasure

"You brought it to me on your own? Araya, is this some kind of outdated joke?"

Magicians are a group of selfish creatures, and Cornelius Aruba is the best among them. When he needed a chess piece the most, someone came to him on his own initiative, and it was an agent of the Holy Church. If Aruba didn't know that Araya Souren had no reason to attack him, he would have thought that this was some kind of evil trap.

"That's the truth. Although I had my doubts, after meeting him, I chose to trust that man."

In the pursuit of the technology of the soul prototype, Araya Soren also developed a superhuman vision. Although it did not reach the level of the Mystic Eye, this ability itself was by no means inferior to it.

Araya Soren can understand a person's essence and obtain information about his origin in a brief contact. It is this ability that allows him to find a chess piece suitable for awakening his origin in Guanbuzi City.

The moment she saw the man, Araya Soren was conquered.

The essence of that priest was hopeless emptiness and a mentally defective person, but he maintained his personality under the temper of his faith.

There is no mistake, that man is a seeker.

However, unlike himself, who had seen all the disasters in the world and finally planned to seek redemption with false obsession in pain and obsession, that man had never felt happiness since childhood and had no goals or beliefs worth pursuing. Therefore, he honed himself with the purpose of self-abuse, hoping to get an explanation for happiness.
