The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

Yes, no matter how powerful she is, she can't protect everyone.

"..."

Looking at the rumbling black fog, Perlis felt something in her heart burning with difficulty.

At this moment, she felt her wrist being held, and when she looked down, she found it was Su Yao.

"Put me down," Su Yao murmured softly, "I'm too... too small..."

There were sparkling tears in the girl's eyes, but the expression on her face was firm and calm.

She had been ready to die.

"..."

Perlis did not answer, but raised her head and faced the black fog that covered the sky.

Then, she held Su Yao's hand tightly:

"No, you are irreplaceable."

Perlis made her choice.

She faced the black fog, protecting Su Yao, with pure white fireworks swirling around her.

Then, the black mist swallowed up the bodies of the two girls.

9) Small and Ordinary (Part 7)

[Admere Sky Eye] - Aston Plains

In the study, Laplace put down an ancient book and looked out the window.

He liked the feeling of looking down on the world, a habit he had maintained since the first time he saw Admir until now.

He likes to blur all features on the ground, making everything into tiny dots, like chess pieces on a chessboard.

Manipulating those things gave him an intense sense of satisfaction.

"..."

After arriving at Aston Plains, the mothership "Admir Sky Eye" has been cruising at the border of I-Tran-Gleu-Yad-Dila, allowing everyone on the ground to have a clear view of the blue factor energy flames under the giant ship.

As a result, there were many public opinions about the Federation, some expressing fear, some panic, and some even worshipping it.

Those are small and ordinary existences.

Human beings have always needed great men to lead the way forward. Laplace believed that only great men like him could truly lead mankind out of the abyss.

He wanted to reach higher—to the stars.

Laplace had recently been dreaming about that chaotic era. At the end of the collapse of the Great Union, he had seen the earth cracking while on the spaceship carrying the fire.

Before that, he also believed that humans were the masters of the earth, but when the earth came alive, he realized that humans had always been just vassals of the earth.

This was something he couldn't tolerate.

Human beings should control their own destiny, and those who cannot control their own destiny should leave it to him to control.

Academi Federation, the wisdom of mankind.

"......"

As he was thinking, a dark shadow appeared from the corner of Laplace's study. When the shadow appeared, the monitor in the corner of the room lit up red, but then quickly dimmed.

The person who came was [Black Cape] Mercury. He had a blank expression on his face and a token hung on his chest, which was flashing a faint blue light.

This is an identification token, the key to enter the area that Laplace is familiar with. Without the token, even creatures that board the ship through the [Netherworld] will be immediately detected and then attacked by the room's security system.

Laplace had not originally activated this facility, but his premonition told him that he would have to use it next.

Obviously, the relationship brought by Mercury is related to this premonition——

"[Black Angel] Suleiman Agust has completely absorbed 4/7 of [Engraved Ink], and he has regained his ability to move."

"As expected," Laplace murmured, "Then, strengthen the defense measures of the entire ship."

"clear."

Mercury nodded, then sank into the darkness and disappeared.

That’s right, the protective measures Laplace activated were to protect against the [Black Angel].

As Suleiman's power grew, there was no guarantee what he would do.

That guy, I'm afraid, can destroy the entire "Eye of the Sky" by himself.

"Herames, does this count as the fulfillment of your wish?"

Laplace turned his head and looked at a bottle on the bookshelf - inside was a heart that once belonged to Hermes von Valantia.

His silver eyes flickered slightly when he saw the heart, but quickly returned to calm.

“The great and the small, let history bear witness.”

......

"Boom!"

A thunderous sound awakened Perlis, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself in endless darkness.

Su Yao fainted in her arms, and the two of them just stood in the void, with nothing around them.

There is no doubt that this is the [Netherworld].

Sure enough, after being swallowed by the black fog, the entire valley will become a passage to the underworld, which can explain why the [Black Khan] appeared in the heart of Qilang.

In the [Netherworld], if there is no light to anchor your position, you will continue to drift randomly in the dark space and eventually get lost.

It was not difficult for Perlis to escape from here. As long as she tore open the rift, she would be able to return to the surface world no matter what.

However, it was still impossible for her to take Su Yao away, as she could not pass through the rift.

"..."

What should I do...

Perlis looked at Su Yao who was seriously injured in her arms. She didn't want to abandon this girl who had gone through so much hardship no matter what.

Although she was just an ordinary soldier, the surging black tide could swallow her up in an instant.

From a rational point of view, Su Yao's life or death means nothing to Perlis. She has no use in the first place, and if she dies she is just a replaceable part. This is her duty.

But Perlis just couldn't let go.

Yes, the [Black Angel] saw through her.

"..."

How can we anchor and detach from the ocean in the [Netherworld]...and do it in a way that does not hurt Su Yao?

In the small town of Ankamouth, the way to leave the netherworld is to find the dark spring and then leave from there.

However, that spring is not everywhere...

Just when Perlis felt she was at the end of her rope, a transcendent and melodious melody floated in from afar.

That melody sounded very familiar to Perlis; she had heard it before.

Yes...! It was the melody played by the priest in the netherworld church in the town of Ankamouth.

"..."

Perlis followed the direction of the melody, and soon, a long stone road appeared out of thin air in the void of the underworld, leading to an indescribable distance.

As she walked along the stone road, Perlis noticed shadowy buildings gradually appearing around her. Those buildings were pure black and seemed to have no substance. If she looked closely, their outlines even looked like they were burning.

The low shadows from the windows of those buildings sounded eerie and creepy. Perlis felt that countless eyes were staring at her, so she could only be vigilant and move forward slowly with Su Yao.

Soon, Perlis arrived at the end of the town. Looking around, countless windmills were slowly spinning in the windless darkness, making strange roaring sounds.

Between the windmills, Perlis saw a dark lake. The surface of the lake almost merged with the darkness, reflecting no light at all, absorbing everything.

In front of the Black Lake, Perlis saw a figure in a black robe. She immediately recognized that it was the priest she had seen in the church in the town of Ankamouth.

The priest was holding a book in his hand. A melodious melody floated out from the flying pages, winding in the air to form a road of music.

Even from a long distance, Perlis saw the priest's clear light green eyes. Her heart suddenly accelerated, as if some long-lost memories were gradually reviving.

She knew that she knew this priest.

She had already doubted it in the Sea Mist Island Church, and now she wanted to unveil him!

Perlis slowly walked up to the priest, staring at him with her blood-red eyes, staring at the two green lights in the shadow.

Before she opened her mouth, the priest said:

"Your eyes are becoming more and more like your mother's."

Perlis's eyes froze, and then, in front of her, the priest took off his hood——

——Ivar Sekpas’s face, half consumed by darkness, appeared before Perlis’ eyes.

......

9) Small and Ordinary (Part 8) -4k chapter-

Ivar Sekopas.

Over the years, Perlis had had many different perceptions of this man.

At first, he was her adoptive father, the man who pulled her out of the icy rain.

Later, he was the murderer of her father and the one who killed Edward from behind.

Now, he appeared before her again, his face half destroyed and dressed in a black robe.

When she looked into those light green eyes again, Perlis didn't even know what attitude to use to face him.

After a brief silence, she just spoke softly:

"Why are you here..."

"I am a mark," Ivar said quietly, "a sinner, a guide."

Mark...Hearing this word, Perlis thought back to the children who were trapped in that classroom forever.

They are also marks, the history recorded in the netherworld.

"In Sea Mist Island, it was also you..."

"It was I, too," Ivar said quietly, "I gave myself to the stars."

"Since when?"

"From the very beginning."

Ivar said, slowly closing the book in his hand, without a trace of light in his light green eyes.

"From the moment I overheard Hallilali's wish, we were destined to meet here."

There was a trace of fatigue in his eyes, and Perlis recalled the Ivar she saw in the gap of history, the timid and lonely boy.

"But you helped Laplace... and did so many bad things..." Perlis lowered her head.

She didn't know what emotion she should use to face her adoptive father. In fact, after ending Ivar's life with her own hands, she had thought a lot about it.

It was a fact that Ivar killed Edward, which was enough to make Perlis hate him to the core. But even so, she would never forget the man who used to pick her up from school on time every day.

Ivar had also clumsily done many things that were not in keeping with his status, and Perlis saw it all.

But hatred is hatred, and no sin can be washed away by a few simple good deeds.

The underworld remembers everything.

Looking at Perlis's dejected face, Ivar's eyes flashed with a gleam, but he still spoke calmly:

"I am a sinner. No one has the right to forgive me, including you."

He raised the book in his hand and handed it to Perlis with a firm look:

"Take it, not for me, but for Harilali Hafurgard."
