The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Marina supported her face with a troubled look and smiled helplessly: "I am still the mediocre me. I am so sorry, Mr. Anser."

"Since you are willing to sacrifice everything for me, don't you think it would be an unforgivable sin to waste Qi Shou's power like this?" Anser raised his eyebrows slightly, "Or are you confident that you can find a way to slow down the erosion in these five months?"

"Do not."

The woman had a confident smile on her face, making the evil-looking black lines appear absolutely beautiful.

"I am confident that within five months, I can clear all obstacles for you, Mr. Anser, and pave your way to the highest level."

"...This is truly a much more arrogant idea than extending one's life."

"Well, it's possible..." Marina put her index finger on her chin and said thoughtfully, "It's because I believe that Mr. Anser will never abandon me."

"I obviously don't need someone like you."

The young Hydra smiled and said, "You think I won't abandon you."

The dark witch swayed to Anser, raised her left hand, and smiled sweetly: "Mr. Anser doesn't need a stupid woman like me, but he still needs the Devourer's Head, right?"

Her dark eyes seemed to say: Don’t worry about my identity, my meaning, my self, just... treat me as a pure Devourer to dominate and use.

You need someone like this, and this person can only be me.

As Anser looked into those eyes, he could feel the ether in his body surging like the sea, but his heart was calm, and he even felt a little... absurd.

He never thought that there would be a day when he would be pushed around by others.

——What choice should he make? Since that time of extreme despair, Anser no longer hesitated.

He must overcome fate, not just for himself, not just for his father and mother, not just for the happier life he expects.

But for the purest purpose, revenge!

The monster from the abyss never took the bullshit like "revenge is empty" to heart.

Why not let it go and pursue the life I desire?

But what if this revenge is exactly the part of life I desire?

You want me to choose? Why should I, why should I obey you like a lamb, why should I... make a choice!

It's always you who is at the end of the road, not me, make no mistake.

"Marina."

Anser suddenly laughed: "Do you know what someone just said I am?"

Marina tilted her head: "What?"

"He said I was a hypocritical monster and a vicious devil. I would always be a monster from the abyss and would never be a real person."

After a brief silence, Marina said softly, "There are always people who think they understand Mr. Anser. I can't comment on such ridiculous words. I just want to know whether the person who said this has paid the price."

"Yeah, there are always people who think they know me."

Ansher sighed like this, but looked at Marina with a half-smile in his eyes.

The woman responded confidently: "But I would never be so self-righteous, because——"

Her words suddenly stopped.

Because...Ansher revealed his true colors without any warning.

Hydra, who now has five living heads, stands at the top of the sky, looking down on the world, exuding endless majesty that makes people tremble.

"The disaster in the West Country during this period made me realize one thing."

The overlapping low voices actually echoed in... the sky above the entire Western Country!

"Whether it's destruction or salvation, all the disasters of the empire originate from the extraordinary and end in the extraordinary."

"So to end this chaos, we must restrain the extraordinary."

"Someone must use laws and rules to judge the extraordinary, and someone must use power and violence to restrict the extraordinary."

"Someone must be the absolute standard."

"And this person can only be me."

"Law, rules, power, violence - all of this can only be me, Anser Hydra."

At this moment when countless extraordinary people and mortals raised their heads and looked at the sky blankly, the ruler from the abyss indifferently issued his decree.

"From now on, the empire is under my control."

"Extraordinary, controlled by me."

Ansher, who made this announcement to the world, felt unprecedented joy.

He returned to his human form, looked at Marina, who was completely stunned and didn't know what to say, and said with a smile: "Did you expect me to do this?"

"you……"

Marina's lips trembled: "Why...why do you want to do this..."

"Because that's a disguise, and I don't need it now."

Hydra looked down at the ground beneath his feet and said casually, "Tolerance and kindness, order and peace, these are all disguises I made to defeat my enemies. Now, this disguise is no longer necessary."

In this plane, there is no force or power that can stop Anther, and there is no individual who can go against Anther's will. He no longer needs to pretend for self-protection or for the sake of balance. He can already rule the empire as the purest ruler!

"But that's not all your disguise. You clearly -"

You are obviously such a kind person.

Marina wanted to say this, but fell silent when she met Ansel's deep sea-blue eyes.

"Olementine is right."

"I am a hypocritical monster, I am a vicious devil."

To defeat fate, one must become such a monster and devil.

Fate made him weak because of Ming Furo and Xitana. He would no longer give everything to overcome fate, but did this mean that the desire in his heart had also weakened?

No, after realizing this, after realizing that fate was trying to use their love to capture him, the hatred and anger in Ansel's heart rose to an unprecedented peak.

"Marina, the kind-hearted me in your eyes, Xier, the kind-hearted me in Luo's eyes, is already a thing of the past."

Are people who were kind in the past necessarily kind now?

Will people who have hidden hopes and desires for a better future in their hearts necessarily be oriented towards light?

Anser was not interested in discussing the proposition of good and evil. It was too grand. After everything was settled, perhaps he would still be interested in analyzing his own psychology, but it was obviously meaningless now.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, he really just needed someone who could give him a push.

If you want to destroy, please destroy; if you want to kill, please kill; if you want to defeat fate, please defeat fate without hesitation.

I will stand by your side, always.

Marina didn't even know the existence of destiny, but she would definitely support Ansel and support him in moving forward.

Therefore, Anser only realized an obvious thing under Marina's promotion-

He had clearly committed countless sins that could not be washed away in order to defeat fate, but now he had to bow to fate for the sake of these sins themselves?

Why, was the past six years of Ansir Hydra's life a ridiculous joke?

It has nothing to do with good or evil, or right or wrong. This is just the simplest and most primitive logic.

——Do you want to deny your past self? Do you want to deny the blood debt and despair that you should pay?

If you don't deny it, if you don't want to deny it, then why should you feel guilty about your so-called sins?

Even if there is, it shouldn’t be now. Even if there is, it should be... when destiny is broken!

Yes, this is just a kind of suspension, just a kind of ignoring that is no different from what he did before. He still has not faced the contradiction between good and evil, merit and sin.

But so what?

Can't you even get rid of this contradictory entanglement with the awareness of defeating fate? Do you have to be stupid and weak, self-pitying, and self-entangled to the point of being unable to make a decision? Do you have to look back and forth, hesitant to the point of needing a woman who loves you deeply and can completely understand what you are thinking, and wait for her like a baby to help you make a decision, before you are willing to move forward?

Don't be so ugly, Anser.

Hydra withdrew his gaze from the earth and looked at Marina, at this woman who was so stupid that he didn't know what to say.

Has she really never considered the possibility that he really doesn't love her at all?

But...it doesn't matter.

"In this matter, needing a push to move forward is already weak enough."

"I am not so incompetent that I have to let others bear my sins."

The good and evil of the past will eventually be judged, but this is not something Ansel should consider now.

"I'm not interested in becoming the sun right now. Will you be disappointed, Marina?"

His revenge has not yet ended, so how can he talk about the beginning of change? Anser himself did not know how far into the future the bright light in Marina's eyes would be.

"How could I be... disappointed."

Marina said softly: "No matter who you become, you are the most amazing Mr. Anser in my eyes."

"Really? That's good." Anser laughed heartily, "I feel relieved now."

"……rest assured?"

"Yeah, because you're going to go with me, right?"

Looking at the hand reaching out to her, Marina was stunned.

"Evil deeds, sins, these are insignificant before I complete my revenge. Even when facing the abyss, I will still move forward."

Anser looked directly into the pair of gradually trembling dark eyes and said frankly:

"It's just that I really can't bear to let Xi'er and A'Luo accompany me on this journey, so..."

He paused slightly, then raised his eyebrows in amusement:

"So, I need a self-destructive, but obedient and useful stupid woman to accompany me on this journey. Do you want to come?"

Marina stretched out her trembling slender fingers and gently touched Ansel's fingertips.

"Let me make this clear first." The devil reminded, "The end of this journey may not be my end, but it may be your end."

"Even so, will you accompany me to the end, Marina?"

In an instant, the woman held the hand tightly and never wanted to let go.

"Yes, Mr. Anser."

The dark witch was in tears, but she murmured happily:

"Please let me accompany you until the end of everything."

The sun told her, I do not need your firewood, it would be such a waste if you burn yourself to ashes. Although you are stupid, you are still useful, you can have other uses...you might as well just be my shadow.

Marina Lancemalos had never been content to be just a shadow, but this invitation alone made her feel that everything was worth it.

I will never burn myself out easily. I will always be your shadow until your vision is realized, Mr. Anser.

The sun rises and sets, until the end.

After two months, this much-criticized volume is finally finished.

I'd like to apologize to everyone first. This volume is indeed the worst so far. It's bloated, dragged out, pretentious, awkward, boring... Your criticisms are correct. After writing each volume, I will look back from the perspective of a reader and feel that this is indeed the case.

The original idea of ​​this volume is actually very simple. Marina carries Ansel's expectations. She first becomes obsessed with Ansel and then awakens and develops her own ideals and pursuits. That's all.

But when I was writing the early and middle parts, I suddenly thought of something. That is, if Ansel was surrounded by girls like this, how would he make a choice?

This brings us to the most important point: I never thought of whitewashing Ansel, as he will practice his evil from beginning to end in this book.

Therefore, if Anser is surrounded by girls who have their own ideals and pursuits, then Anser is bound to be influenced by them; if he is not influenced, then their personalities will be flawed and collapse. So Anser needs someone who can support him unconditionally and allow him to continue to be determined to fight against fate as a villain. This is also the reason why I started to develop the plot in another direction from the middle.

Only in hindsight did I realize that I had fallen into a very fatal problem - that was writing what I thought was right.

Although writing is a very subjective thing, online novels are ultimately commodities. They are for readers, not for myself. Many authors go crazy because they think what they write is correct.

People come to see Ansel dominate everything, tame the protagonist, and defeat fate, not to see him struggling with love and ego like an adolescent boy.

Although he is indeed a teenager, and although he will indeed struggle with love and ego in this situation, the writing will be terrible, and it will feel like a weird romance novel, or maybe I don’t have the ability to write this in a way that makes it less awkward.

So instead of worrying about the rationality of "I think it should be like this", it is better to downplay the matter honestly, or write it more clearly in another way.
