Ark, they don't revolve around you

Zhuang Ning stood up and began to hum a song. His voice was still as bad as ever, but the melody he sang was truly integrated into the natural disaster.

That is the golden rule!

The foundation of Leitania builds the melody of the empire.

Zhuang Ning integrated this melody into the natural disaster and spread it to every corner of Terra.

"This time, more people will die, but those who survive... will be blessed by me."

“I will make a covenant with them with the Golden Rule, to stop cursing and put an end to conflicts!”

"This is the greatest salvation I can offer!"

This is a ceremony of deification.

When the Scourge spreads to every corner of Terra, every Originium is equivalent to Zhuang Ning's will, and everyone will obey his voice under the call of the Golden Rule.

This is... the second trial!

……

……

Victoria, Londinium, some people are still awake.

In the monastery far away from the secular world, Vina suddenly opened her eyes, stood up with lingering fear, and walked to the corridor.

The moonlight is bright, rippling like water waves.

But in an instant, the waves were swallowed up by darkness, the light of the two moons was obscured, and dark clouds quickly emerged and engulfed the sky above Londinium.

She heard the howling of the storm.

Amid the whistling, a great voice echoed:

“I will make a covenant with them with the Golden Rule, to stop cursing and put an end to conflicts!”

"This is the greatest salvation I can offer!"

The sound is so familiar, yet so strange.

It was clearly Zhuang Ning, yet he looked so ethereal and high above everyone else, as if he were a god.

Vina was startled and saw that the nuns were all up, apparently having heard a similar sound.

The outside world became noisy, and the entire Londinium was awakened in an instant. Everyone went outside and saw thunder and lightning in the city.

Someone pointed to the sky and uttered a horrified voice: "Natural disaster!"

……

……

Casimir, Grand Knight.

In the arena of this city that never sleeps, the sound of metal ping-pong can still be heard.

On the stage, two knights fought each other, and their battle became increasingly intense amid the audience's enthusiastic cheers.

Suddenly, the twin moons disappeared.

In the lightning, it seemed as if someone was looking over, staring at everyone here.

Even the knights forgot about the battle, put down their weapons, raised their heads dully, and stared at the Scourge!

The arena suddenly became busy, and the host was stunned: "Natural disaster!"

"Natural disaster! Natural disaster is coming!"

"Why didn't anyone notify the messengers? Damn it, where are the messengers? They are all a bunch of rubbish!!!"

The arena was boiling with noise, and the cheers turned into shouts mixed with fear.

It was not until this time that someone finally saw black crystals spreading on his fingertips.

“Originium!! Why is there an Originium!!”

Her roar attracted everyone's attention, and the people around her unconsciously moved away from her.

The noblewoman who was being held by the Originium showed despair on her face: "I'm infected? This is not right!"

But no one listened to her, and she could only watch the crystal expand rapidly until it swallowed her entire body.

It's not just her.

Suddenly, it seemed that everyone had more or less black Originium in their bodies.

Margaret Linguang heard her sister's trembling voice: "Am I going to die, sister?"

Margaret hugged her sister tightly: "It's okay, he won't kill us..."

"He is just continuing his punishment... just completing his own trial..."

Inside the mansion, she comforted her sister with no expression on her face.

But there were still small sobs, echoing one after another, and were suppressed by the thunder in the sky.

……

……

Ursus.

At the Castle of St. Stein, Tallulah walked outside the palace.

The natural disaster was raging, and this scene reminded her of the Chernobyl disaster.

The Originium turned into a huge sea of ​​fire, falling towards the city, raising dust that submerged the buildings.

In the dust, clusters of Originium crystals bloomed like flowers, disintegrating buildings one after another.

Compared with the natural disaster that directly killed millions of people, this disaster was more sudden but much more peaceful.

But Originium still emerged in the streets, becoming more and more intense, causing countless people to scream!

"How do you feel...?"

"Captain."

Tallulah raised her head and looked at the man in front of her.

Bodracasti, the shield of the infected, the backbone of the integration movement

He is also the one who monitors Tallulah after she returns to normal. If Tallulah does evil again, he will kill her personally.

"This was done by... that person..."

"Yeah... I didn't expect it would be such a big natural disaster." Tallulah smiled.

"Many people died..."

"I know." Tallulah's eyes became deep. "Captain, I have been struggling with this. Although we have made solemn promises, the infected and normal people cannot coexist peacefully after all."

"Yes."

Another huge crystal fell from the sky and hit the street.

The howling wind blew up Tallulah's bangs, and the cuff tied around her right arm fluttered in the strong wind.

At this moment, the burning wind blew on her face, and Tallulah's eyes were filled with extreme fire: "He gave the answer."

"As long as everyone on this land becomes infected, naturally no one can use this as an excuse, right?"

Bozhukas was speechless.

After a long silence, he was suddenly stunned and felt incredible.

His throat had long been contaminated by Originium, and he was only able to survive because of the Wendigo's powerful body.

But at this moment, the Originium of the diseased organ changed its nature, becoming docile and no longer an obstacle to his survival.

Tallulah also noticed this anomaly and stroked the small Originium crystal on her arm with a dazed smile on her face: "He is just that kind of person."

……

……

Leitania, Trillintelme.

Twin Towers, inside the palace.

Under the dignified gazes of the crowd, Viviana looked at the electors with a little trepidation.

The emperor was finally elected today.

Since no one wanted to have direct contact with the Doctor, the person who was finally pushed to the top was her, the illegitimate daughter of a noble Elector.

She doesn't mind or care about these considerations.

She just felt uneasy in her heart, so her brows furrowed even deeper.

Inside the hall, those distinguished electors were still discussing the distribution of their interests.

Viviana noticed, however, that the light flickered for a moment, and then the air grew colder.

It seemed like there was a sneer coming from somewhere.

Amid the mocking voices, Viviana heard a murmur: "It seems that they have chosen you to be the emperor."

"Then celebrate..." the voice whispered, as if with malice, "with their blood."

Viviana pushed the door open in panic and walked in, only to see that all the electors had expressions of extreme horror on their faces, and were swallowed by the Originium in fear.

She walked over and touched it lightly with her fingertips.

The Originium disintegrated, shattered into dust all over the ground, and dispersed with the wind.

Are they...dead?

Viviana's heart trembled and she felt fear.

The voice then burst out again: "No need, you are the new emperor."

"From this day forward, there will be no more electors."

……

……

inflammation.

In the desolate courtyard, a man stood in the raging storm with a low sigh.

"Is this your former enemy?"

"Shuo." The man looked back, "I did have some misunderstandings with the doctor, but they were just misunderstandings."

His elder brother came over and patted his shoulder: "Second brother, do you understand? This is not something you and I should get involved in."

"I know."

The man clenched his fists, but couldn't suppress his excitement, "I just think it's great."

"Perhaps, this is what it means to use the common people as chess pieces. Compared to this, I am still far behind."

The two had more to say, but another figure appeared and naturally interrupted their communication.

"Your Majesty." Shuo... Zhongyue called out somewhat reluctantly.

Woman - years old, but had never heard of it, just in a trance she gently touched the storm with her fingertips.

"You finally took this step, Doctor."

She suddenly burst into tears, perhaps because she already had a contract with Zhuang Ning, so she naturally felt the surging emotions.

……

……

Originium...is an extension of my will.

Zhuang Ning moved his lips slightly and uttered these words naturally.

At that moment, thousands of thoughts poured into his brain through the Golden Rule. As the Originium raged to every corner of Terra, he touched everyone's body.

Their bodies, spirits, consciousness... everything was controlled by Zhuang Ning.

Anyone who resists will have their body assimilated by Originium.
