I already said this is not a life simulator!

"plum?"

Kevin felt a slight wetness on his collar.

"That's good. Just leave it like this for now...that's good."

Mei said sullenly, refusing to look up.

She still remembered that she could hug her lover like this because of him, because of Xi Wang.

…………

"Dad...it's already...finished inside."

Grayshut gently pulled at the torn edge of her clothes and spoke softly.

"Oh? You've finished it so quickly? You must have worked so hard, my little Grayshu~"

Hen hid his sadness and sorrow, then hugged Grayshu in his arms, forced a smile, and said.

"Well, Brother Xiwang helped... There's already a lot of space inside, and everyone can live in it."

Gray Xiu nodded pretentiously.

"Is that so... So that's how it is... His [song] is about this... No, this should be a byproduct. He should be trying to solve the problem of rain."

He nodded as if he understood, then frowned and fell into confusion.

"But...if his [Song] was to stop the rain, the [Herrscher] is dead, and control of the [Fourth God Key] has returned, then..."

Looking up at the sky, Hen slowly expressed his doubts.

"Why is the rain...still falling?"

tick-

It is the sound of rain falling.

…………

"【Blood relative】...don't...please...【Blood relative】..."

In the sea, Skadi tried to touch the [Song] flowing in the sky, and tried to save her [blood relatives].

But... she couldn't do it. At this moment, she couldn't do anything.

She could only watch the "Song" that flowed across the sky take shape, and watch the fleeting light bloom and then dim.

After that, the song of [Blood Relatives]... could no longer be heard.

Her [blood relatives]…left her.

She clearly wanted to protect him, clearly wanted to prevent him from being [attacked], but in the end...what did she protect?

wow-

The waves surged and the sea water gradually became violent.

The most beloved child disappeared and was [conquered], which made [Ocean] unable to bear his anger.

And at this time Skadi...didn't try to stop it, nor did she want to stop it, and even wanted to...join in.

She likes bipeds very much, yes, but blood relationship is more important.

And now, her [blood relatives]... were hurt, [conquered], and killed!

She... couldn't accept it.

wow-

The surging waves brought a strange sword to her side... with her own breath remaining on it.

Skadi knew about this sword.

But at this moment, she picked it up without hesitation.

tick-

The rain falls quietly.

The sea water spreads silently.

The waves surged, and the revenge of the Ocean began.

--------

"Quick! Quick! Hurry up! The sea water is flooding over! There's a lot of space inside, don't worry!"

"Watch out for the crowds! You know what! Watch out for the crowds! Don't step on each other!"

The soldiers of "Fire Moth" anxiously commanded everyone, urging the surviving people to enter the "Utopia"... Thanks to Grayshu who completed the expansion of the internal space of the "Utopia", otherwise they would not know what to do.

I heard that it was all thanks to Xiwang that it was completed so instantly... Alas.

Thinking of this, the soldier quickly stopped thinking, sighed helplessly, suppressed all these thoughts, and concentrated on arranging the "evacuation" of the people.

wow-

It was the sound of sea water flooding in.

"Mei! Go!"

"Kevin, Alicia..."

"No matter what, let's get to a safe place first!"

chap——

However, before they could make any move, a white water blade like a wave passed by at a high speed and almost cut off Mei's arm.

pat-

It is the sound of stepping on the water.

Looking back, you can see that the blue sea is coming along with a white-haired, red-eyed girl holding a sword. The girl is wearing a familiar [Hunter's Suit].

Of course, what attracted more attention was the hat on her head.

Alicia and the others remembered that Xi Wang treasured that hat very much. He said that he had a "friend" who liked it very much, so he wanted to keep it forever... In the end, he even changed the name of "friend" to "blood relative".

So... the girl in front of me... is Skadi? That killer whale Honkai beast?

"I remember you..."

Skadi looked at the few people with her indifferent scarlet eyes, then raised her sword and pointed it at Alicia.

"especially you."

Then he pointed at Kevin.

"And you."

"One was the guy that [Blood Relative] once admired the most, but in the end, he betrayed him..."

"He said he was my ally, but he didn't help me at all..."

"........."

Alicia pursed her lips and didn't reply.

"One is a guy who has targeted [blood relatives] several times, launched [punitive actions] several times, and hurt him several times."

"........."

Kevin was silent.

"at last……"

Skadi pointed the tip of her sword at Mei, who was protected behind her by two men.

"He's the guy who broke his promise to his blood relatives several times!"

wow-

The sea water surged and spread, and almost in an instant it covered everyone's feet.

"You... deserve to be killed!"

“Should be… [hunted]!”

He raised the sword, and the sea water also rose up, as if it was going to form a wave and drown the few people.

Anyone could feel Skadi's hostility, the extremely clear murderous intent and hostility, and the extremely obvious resentment.

Kevin and Alicia both took precautions, but... they did not attack first.

Their goal is to delay time and prevent the sea water from reaching the people... There are still people who have not entered the "Utopia" for refuge, so they cannot fight too fiercely.

???~

However, at this moment, a faint melody quietly echoed.

That was left on Alicia's crystal flower hair accessory. It was Xiwang's power and Xiwang's melody.

Bo~

A small, bright red fish jumped out from the azure water, swam happily in the air twice, and then landed between Skadi and the others.

It gently touched the tip of Skadi's sword, then swam along the sword, came to Skadi's side, and swam around her happily a few times.

"... [Blood relative], do you like [humans] so much?"

Skadi's face showed a conflicted and reluctant expression.

The bright red [fish] jumped happily twice, then flapped its tail fin twice, and swam around Skadi twice.

"……I see."

Skadi slowly lowered her sword.

"【Blood relations】... are important."

Skadi looked at the few people again, then turned back and prepared to leave.

"and many more."

Mei suddenly called her and said a string of coordinates, causing Skadi to look at her sideways.

"Go ahead, the person you are looking for is there."

Mei said expressionlessly.

"They are in the [painting] of the safe house. If you have contact with him... and Xiwang, you should be able to get in."

"........."

Skadi withdrew her gaze, then waved her hand, and several figures were quickly "spitted out" by the blue sea.

They were Qianjie, Kosmo and others who had fought with Skadi before.

"Don't let them cause trouble, if you don't want to trouble the [Blood Relatives] anymore."

Skadi left an indifferent sentence, and then quickly left along with the blue sea.

"... Mei, the place you mentioned... seems to be the location of the newcomers, right?"

"........."

“…Is it really okay to do this?”

"Of course."

Mei's voice was calm and indifferent.

"For the sake of humanity, any sacrifice is acceptable and any price is payable... I believe they can also realize this."

"........."

"...Take Qianjie and the others with you. The sea is spreading too fast...Our last piece of land is about to disappear."

Mei's voice sounded a little tired...After Xiwang disappeared, their enemy seemed to have become the entire planet.

The sea flooded, the winds howled, the rain never stopped, and the climate of the entire planet became extremely bad in a short period of time, heading towards the direction of "uninhabitable for humans".

Even the [Fourth God's Key] cannot change this weather in a short period of time, and cannot correct this climate. It can only be repaired slowly over time.

But... fortunately, the two coordinated plans of "Utopia" and "Hibernation" allow them to have enough time to wait for the world to recover.
