The villain's way to tame the protagonist

The wolf beast retracted the angry shadow of the demon wolf behind it, slowly exhaled a breath of fiery steam, looked at Ivora again, and silently returned to Anser.

Under everyone's blank gaze, Anser said calmly: "Grand Duke Iron Blade, do you know why I asked Xitana to stop?"

"..." Raylan Ironblade, who had just mocked Xitana, now remained silent and also returned to Ivora silently.

Without needing him to answer, Anser continued, "Because I don't need a meaningless war, because I know why I am here."

"Ivora, whether you say I am pretending or just having fun, it does not affect my decision. I will not change my mind because of your madness and arrogance."

He raised his hand with four snake rings on it and said in a solemn voice:

"I swear in the name of Hydra that I will forbid any fifth-level extraordinary person to participate in this war, and I will also ban all spells of mass destruction."

During the long silence, the smile on Ivora's face slowly disappeared.

"Are you... serious?"

"What else?" Anser asked, "Do you really think I'm going to fight you here? Do you think I'm going to destroy countless families, the entire empire, and everything today?"

"I said, my thoughts have not changed since the beginning. Since they have found you to support them, and you have indeed made it difficult for me to stop this war completely, then... at least keep this war within the limits that will not overly destroy the empire and its people."

“Hehe…hahahahahaha!”

Anser's words made Ivora burst into laughter: "Anser...Anser, I thought you were just having fun, but I didn't expect you to be serious?"

She opened her arms and laughed wildly: "For everything that is so fragile to you and me? For what are our property, our belongings, our so-called...people?"

"For these things, you are willing to give up your greatest advantage, and even give up your dignity as an Old God, to give in to me and beg for my compromise?"

Her laughter was so harsh, so harsh that the extraordinary people behind her couldn't suppress their anger. How would they feel facing such a mocking Hydra?

"So what?"

Hydra just smiled, a calm, even compassionate smile.

"I sympathize with you, Ivora. You and your ancestors treat all of this as playthings because your lives as gods are worthless, and you haven't found anything valuable other than becoming stronger, but I have."

"I said I would change everything, both the empire and the lives of my people."

He said, My people.

"No matter how hysterical you are, you can't change one thing - the current empire has no emperor, no princess, and no so-called Royal Family of Feasting Flame. The one who rules it is me."

"It's the Regent, Anther Hydra."

"I promise to change everything."

Everyone looked at this "rebel" who had usurped the supreme authority of the empire and declared:

“Then everything will change.”

The empire was very large, and the boy's voice was carried far away by the cold wind.

It seemed as if in an instant, it spread to every corner of this vast territory.

Chapter 30: Playthings

Compromising and showing weakness at the negotiating table is a very stupid behavior, and every extraordinary person present is aware of this.

In fact, many of them were already prepared for Anser to fight Ivora to the end. After all, when Anser first announced this agreement, except for a very few people, no one believed that he really proposed it with the purpose of reducing the intensity of the war.

What they were thinking now was the same as what Ivora said - are you serious?

With the combined forces of Anther, not to mention being able to annihilate all the northern rebels in an instant, there will be absolutely no problem in winning as long as Anther can defeat Ivora.

Although fifth-level transcendents are prohibited from entering, his chances of winning will not be much lower, but is it necessary?

The original plan of this group of people was to push the front line directly into the northern territory, that is, almost all the fifth-level extraordinary people in the empire would directly engage in a melee in the north and control the battlefield here, which would not affect their interests in any way.

——Anyway, this place has been destroyed beyond recognition by the Iron Blade Gray Tower and the Revolutionary Army. It is not their territory. If it is destroyed, it is destroyed. If everyone dies, everyone dies. What does it matter?

It was Anser's decision that prevented them from pushing all their forces into the North. It might even extend the battle line, which would implicate more "innocents". It was impossible for His Royal Highness the Regent to not think of this. How could he still think that compromising with Ivora was the right thing to do?

Although people think so, no one dares to say these words at this time.

Anyone who dares to question the regent's determination will probably have his head twisted off by the scourge beside him who has no place to vent his anger in the next second.

Raylan Ironblade was able to take that punch easily because he is the best warrior in the empire! If a research scholar were to come, he would have considered how to put the body back to its original state without any defensive countermeasures.

Now is the time for these two rulers who should have become gods but, coincidentally, have not been able to ascend to the supreme position for various reasons to talk. This is also the time for negotiations between the two monsters who are truly leading this war, and there is no room for anyone to intervene.

Anser's final announcement caused Ivora to fall into a brief daze, and then he soon revealed an uncontrollable cruelty: "Your empire, your people... Anser, you really dare to say that."

"This ship heading towards the abyss needs a helmsman who can steer it towards a bright future before it crashes."

The young face of the Regent was filled with confidence that no one could question: "And that helmsman is me, and it can only be me."

Ivora, with veins popping out of her temples, took a step forward. A wave of flames that devoured everything rose up from under her feet. The tyrannical princess spoke word by word, revealing the pure hatred in her heart:

"Your self-righteous look... is disgusting! Whether it is the empire or the people living in the empire, everything, including you..."

"They are all... my things!"

This ultimate evil, cruelty and greed shocked Xin. If Anther's sin seemed to be mixed with everything and was almost equivalent to the eternal abyss on the other side of the world, then Ivora's sin was the purest, most extreme ultimate evil.

Greed born from the desire to control everything, rage caused by not allowing anything to disobey him, and other surging sin fires also burned fiercely. This is undoubtedly... a very sinful person.

Xin looked at the female demon roaring to the sky, and couldn't help but think: If the demon lady who has such sins has no assistant, then for which assistant does she exist?

Is it for...Mr. Devil?

As Xin was thinking this, he was suddenly shrouded in a dark shadow.

She subconsciously turned her head and the iron demon standing in the sky came into her eyes.

The petite woman on Anser's right had disappeared. The steel demon god, who could fight against the sixth-level gods, was already well known and feared by all the extraordinary people in the Empire. The mechanical deity slowly descended and floated behind Anser. Whether it was the ferocious and sharp iron armor, the gray halo behind it, or the pair of bright red eyes in the black particle mist, they were much stronger than the oppressive feeling brought by the flames raised by Ivora.

And Hitana on his left also revealed a ferocious smile of a predator, the red and black wolf shadows overlapped on her body like armor, making the wolf beast look like a real inhuman monster.

At the same time, there seemed to be some invisible object roaming in the shadows. Everyone present felt the cold breath that was deliberately emitted, which was almost imperceptible. As long as the negotiations collapsed, the dark blade would immediately reap lives.

"No matter how foolish you are, some of what you said is true, Ivora... Strength always determines many things."

Hydra, who was dominating these monsters, no longer had the gentleness and calmness on his face. He only had the cold indifference that a ruler should have when facing rebellion:

"Do you think it's you who decides everything, or me?"

Ivora laughed without hesitation: "Then let's give it a try!"

The momentum was once again developing towards a fight to the death between the two sides, which made the extraordinary people on both sides, whose presence was almost non-existent, tense again.

Ansher looked at her for a while, then suddenly laughed and waved gently.

The Iron Demon who was looking down at everyone turned into particles and disappeared without a trace. Xitana also dissipated the Demon Wolf Armor on her body with an indignant look. The breath of the invisible monster cruising on the ground dissipated. He took the initiative to ask Qi Shou to stop, and it seemed that he didn't want to fight with Ivora to the end.

Did Hydra...really compromise with Ivora to this extent? Was he really no match for Ivora?

Anser's action gave the many extraordinary people present some ideas, but the next second, they heard the young regent say:

"Since you want to decide the direction of this conversation in this way, then fine, I'll give you this opportunity."

The shadow of a nine-headed demon snake rose from behind Anser, and nine overlapping voices echoed across the vast wasteland:

"I will not rely on my Qi Shou, and the battle between you and me must be held in a maze that will not affect the empire."

"Even though Qi Shou itself is one of Hydra's powers, I can give you this opportunity to prevent you from getting angry."

In their eyes, Anser, who seemed to be dying, uttered even more arrogant words: "Come, try to take back everything you have from me, Ivora."

Normally speaking, with Ivora's self-esteem, she would never accept Anser's extremely arrogant provocation, and would never tolerate what Anser called "frustrated" and "charitable" behavior, but to everyone's surprise, Ivora actually... agreed!

After a brief silence, Ivora grinned grimly and said, "You will regret this, Anser."

"Then you should cherish the opportunity I give you, Ivora."

Anser tapped the ground with his cane: "Don't run away like a lost dog again."

Then, their figures disappeared from the sight of both parties at the same time.

Thus, in the howling cold wind, only the extraordinary people on both sides were left looking at each other, and the atmosphere gradually became a little weird.

Shitana crossed her arms, squinted her eyes at the coalition of the two archdukes and the revolutionary army, and suddenly said without concealing her voice:

"A Luo, let's kill all these scum and garbage."

Ming Fuluo took off her glasses, wiped them gently, and said calmly: "Now?"

"What else?" Xitana asked, "Wait until these beasts start a war before dealing with them?"

The scholar thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "That makes sense, but you can't kill them all now."

"Why don't you just come with me?"

This sentence made the atmosphere between the two sides drop to freezing point. Everyone knew the cruelty of natural disasters and the horror of mechanical deification, but they were not clear about the details. Anther could control the mechanical deification...what if Athena could too?

On the day of the catastrophe, the blade that split the sky fire brought by Efesandre and the earth together had long been deeply engraved in the souls of the extraordinary people. The irresistible emperor was defeated head-on, and the monster that defeated her naturally became the great terror that they were unwilling to face in the depths of their souls.

For fifth-order transcendents, the mere appearance of the deus ex machina is enough to make them want to retreat or even run away.

Fortunately, Ming Fuluo shook her head gently: "Anser is fighting with Ivora, I can't waste his ether."

"...Tsk." Xitana clicked her tongue unhappily, then turned to look at the extraordinary people behind her and gave orders directly, "Hey, haven't you ever thought that it would be easier to deal with these guys here? No matter how you look at it, we have more people. If you are afraid, I will be the first to kill them, how about it?"

Who among the extraordinary people dared to stand up and express their opinions? If they disagreed, Xitana would bear a grudge against them. If they agreed, it would be equivalent to disobeying Anser's decision. What's more... the battle between Anser and Ivora was the core of solving everything.

The fight between them, in the final analysis, was just a redistribution of interests under the overall situation. And the overall situation was only in the hands of those two people.

"Ms. Lance."

At this moment, a woman wearing a hazy light purple veil walked out from the ranks of the revolutionary army.

She stood at the front of the team, her mature voice steady and firm: "Are you sure you want to go to war with us now? Do you want to go against the decision of Lord Hydra?"

Hearing this, Xitana, who had always been shaken by Anser, showed an even more unhappy look on her face. She took a step forward and released her killing intent without reservation:

"It's none of your business! As long as I can kill all of you, Anser will have nothing to say!"

"Have you considered the consequences of doing this?"

The woman asked calmly, "Have you ever thought that if you fail to kill all the fifth-order extraordinary people on our side instantly, any one of us may launch a revenge-style... massacre of the city when there is absolutely no chance of winning?"

Sitana was stunned.

And Xin also saw at this moment that the raging, never-extinguished flame of anger on Miss Wolf's body dimmed for the first time.

Protecting civilians can calm Xitana down, and Xin already knew this when he was in the imperial capital.

But this time, the extinguishing of the burning rage in Hitana's heart seemed to be more than just out of protection for civilians.

Miss Wolf...felt that she was wrong.

Mistake... Miss Wolf's anger stems from... her mistake?

It doesn’t seem to be the case, but it always feels close.

Need more...information.

Not all matters need to be deduced according to strict logic, just do what you are good at - this is what Ansel taught her.

For Xin, the method of obtaining information is simple enough and there is no need to go around in circles.

To make Miss Wolf fall into an even more extreme rage...but is this the right thing to do?

Xin didn't know that when she was thinking about whether something was right, it meant that she already had the idea of ​​doing it.

——To atone for sin with sin, to punish evil with evil, this is definitely not what a saint like her should think.

*

"You really acted like yourself. No... you weren't acting at all. You just spoke out your true feelings."

In the maze where no one can interfere, the two monsters who were acting crazily finally met each other honestly.

Strictly speaking, it was only Anser who acted. After all, Ivora was not acting at all. As Anser said, she was just speaking her mind.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Ivora, who was no longer as crazy as before, looked impatient and asked, "Where's the promised reward?"

Ansel didn't say anything, but just looked at her with a smile.

Ivora's entry into the North was an extremely important part of his strategy.

Due to the lack of information, the training of Xin can no longer be as perfect as that of Xitana and Ming Furo. All of Anser's plans after taking Ivora from the mysterious force are no longer the perfect layout that can see through the future as before.

But this did not prevent Ansor from taking everything under his control. Even though he did not have the possibility of foreseeing the future, he was already more powerful than the former Hydra.
