The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Xin suddenly realized that he had never considered the causal relationship between redemption and coordination, because that was unnecessary. Those who were redeemed would definitely go to good, so what they did in the end would definitely be good, and would definitely achieve coordination.

Xin's thoughts suddenly stopped, and facing the silent Polynya, Marina continued to ask mercilessly:

"Let's get back to the original question... You think the order of this territory and the comfort of the refugees are because you have erased the extraordinary and stripped away all power and violence, right?"

"How should I put it, Professor Polynya?" Marina shook her head. "This sounds... like a superfluous excuse, a false and grand... pretext."

"It's as if by making this excuse grand enough, we can conceal its true nature."

The witch gracefully stepped on the crows and climbed into the air, looking down at the pale Polynya from above. Her bright pink lips trembled slightly as she uttered cold and indifferent words:

"——That is, to make the rules."

"It's not you who made this city more orderly by erasing the ether, Professor Polynya. It's the rules you set that left them no choice. It's not that everything will get better naturally after you set the rules, but because they are under the rules... they are afraid of you who control the rules."

"It's like being afraid of the emperor who seems to control everything, or..."

The woman who had the rhythm of the whole scene firmly in her hands tilted her head slightly and glanced at Hercules who was on high alert. She did not say "or" or anything, but just moved her lips slightly, which was enough to let the saint behind Hercules understand what she meant.

That is of course... God.

"You advised Xitana not to use the extraordinary and not to bring violence caused by power. You hoped that she would be bound by the rules you set and act according to your ideas... But the irony is that you said that you would also be subject to the same constraints, but you set such rules with your unrestrained power."

"Professor, professor...don't you know?"

The witch, surrounded by a flock of crows, came in front of Polynia. She leaned forward slightly in mid-air, and her black hair fell down like a waterfall, swallowing up all the light in front of Polynia's eyes, as if the abyss had descended here.

“Rules made by people are destined to be unable to constrain everyone, because the person who makes the rules himself is destined to be unable to be constrained, whether he wants to or not.”

The witch, who shared the same mind and thoughts as the devil, made such ridicule and judgment on his behalf:

"If there is a rule that overrides everyone and everyone must follow it, then what is the difference between the person who made this rule... and the person who overrides everyone?"

And Hitana's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"So you who keep saying that we can't let the extraordinary influence mortals as they please..."

Marina's voice was like a knife, chopping at Polynya's weak will as a scholar:

"In essence, isn't it no different from Sitana who tried to use violence to make all disobedient people submit?"

She chuckled, "Not even different from the emperor."

"No... No! It's not like that! This is sophistry! I... I have never had such an idea!"

boom! boom! boom!

Polynya staggered back, driving the unstable ether in all directions without any plan, as if she did not dare to attack Marina directly. Sitana, who was standing by, looked at her teacher who had lost control of herself with a dazed and complicated expression.

Marina smiled and walked forward step by step. The crows surrounding her seemed to bring disaster and despair to Polynia.

"But your reaction doesn't seem like you really think I'm making excuses. Instead, it seems like you're running away and collapsing after I revealed the truth, Ms. Polynya."

"It's not like that... It's not like that."

"What Sitana did is no different from the emperor!" She said what she was interrupted by Hercules and couldn't say just now.

"It's not wrong to punish the wicked... but you can never do it just because 'I want to do it'. Xitana's anger... the killing and punishment brought by Xitana out of anger are, in essence, just because 'I want to'."

Polynya has been studying this path for decades. She successfully survived the collapse of the revolutionary army and survived again. Her persistence and belief cannot be shaken so easily.

Even though Marina's sense of oppression was almost suffocating, she still resolutely expressed her position in an almost suicidal way, while shouting in a hoarse voice:

"To maintain order... one must proceed from a purely axiom perspective and not be swayed by personal will. I know this is almost impossible, but I can do it... to limit the role of personal will to a minimum."

"Without extraordinary powers and extraordinary people, no one can do whatever they want and shake the order according to their own ideas. The stability of this world will no longer rely solely on the kindness and correctness of the strong... Just like the emperor, so many emperors have created miraculous feats, but in the end? In the end... didn't they still burn everything with their own hands, just because they could do it at will!"

No one should be able to control the world as they please, this is Polynya's core point of view.

She wanted to cut off the ether, not for the sake of good or evil, strong or weak, but just to make sure that there were no more people in this world who could do whatever they wanted, and to let the world return to an ordinary world where even if it was still full of contradictions and problems, they could be solved within society instead of being manipulated and dominated by the extraordinary.

"Shitana, Shitana Lancemalos, I'm asking you!"

The shaky Polynya shouted desperately to Sitana, her sorrowful and painful voice seemed to break into pieces:

"Can you guarantee that you will maintain the same justice as now in ten, twenty, thirty years... a hundred years? Can you guarantee that your arbitrariness will not make you the next -"

Polynya didn't have time to utter her last words before a flock of crows swallowed her up.

"Teacher Nia!"

Xitana screamed and looked at Marina in panic: "Lina, she--"

A flock of crows flew past and disappeared into the shadows, and Polynia, who was passed by, fell unconscious to the ground.

"You are obviously a fifth-level transcendent, but you have never put any effort into fighting?"

Marina muttered to herself thoughtfully, then looked at the worried Sitana and chuckled, "Don't worry, she just fainted."

The wolf's complicated expression made her tilt her head slightly: "Why. Do you still care about what she said?"

The witch curved her eyebrows, covered her mouth and chuckled:

"Do you really think that you are essentially no different from the emperor?"

"How can it be!"

Xitana immediately screamed, "How can I be the same as that bastard! We are completely different!"

"Then why are you looking at Professor Polynya like that?"

“…After all, he is my teacher. He has helped me and our family so much.”

Xitana looked away and muttered, "Wouldn't it be a bad idea to do this?"

"Xitana, do you think... anyone is qualified to say such things to you and me, to speculate on Mr. Anser's thoughts, or even to speak nonsense?"

The witch gently stroked the crow on her shoulder and said casually:

"It is because Professor Polynya has done us a great favor, otherwise she would have died long ago."

Hitana didn't know what to say, but she couldn't help but look at the unconscious Polynya. The pale face of her former mentor always made her uncontrollably moved.

Even though Marina had crushed Polynia in all aspects, she couldn't help but feel a wave of emotions in her heart - just like the thoughts that the Grand Duke of Grey Tower had when he left.

Is what Teacher Nia said really completely wrong?

Hitana subconsciously looked at Hercules, who could not intervene in this struggle, hoping to get an answer from him.

But Mr. Hero seemed to be talking to Miss Saint and didn't look at her... Instead, he looked at Marina inconspicuously and thought she didn't see it!

Ah, I'm so angry! Never mind! Anyway, I'll just beat up those two dukes first!

"What a pitiful defeat... Why do you think Lady Polynya lost so miserably, Miss Xin."

The devil and the witch's eyes met for a moment, and he didn't realize that a smile had risen on his face: "Is it because she is not firm enough, or... is her belief really untenable?"

Xin couldn't give Anser an answer, because to her, Anser's question was asking himself -

How do you feel now, Miss Saint? Have you ever had even the slightest doubt about God or the Associate?

If so, it's because you're not firm enough...

Or is it because they have been nothingness without foundation from the very beginning?

Xin did not respond and was inexplicably sulking. Anyway, Ansel was very satisfied that Sitana did not seem to think about what Polynia said anymore.

Compared with Donggang, Anser actually did not have any elaborate layout in the North. In this game of chess, his fight with fate was nothing more than countering each move.

Fate was correcting his disturbances, and he was also correcting the changes that fate was trying to bring, slowly eroding Xin's remaining self and beliefs.

You don't have much time left, fate.

But... I have given you chances, time and time again, but have you made good use of her?

Have you made good use of that woman who exists only for me?

Ansher met the witch's eyes again, and through the deep darkness, he saw such a vivid and playful smile, as well as the undisguised confidence and love.

Chapter 5: Future Heroes and Today's Villains (K)

"Are you leaving, Miss Sitana?"

"What else? Should I continue to stay in this world that is no longer fun for me?"

The tall woman in a cloak stood on the edge of the platform above the sea of ​​clouds, looking boredly at the world that was becoming increasingly smaller to her.

She stretched out her hand and clasped her five fingers together, and the sea of ​​clouds thousands of miles away began to surge. The pure and ultimate power changed the appearance of the world according to the will of this overlord.

"I have done what I should do. Next, I should pursue my own desires... Why, I can't do that?"

The white-haired woman turned around and slightly raised her sharp and slender eyebrows like a sword: "If you can find a qualified opponent, I don't mind staying a little longer."

"She's just too embarrassed to say a proper goodbye, Xin."

A woman in a white coat leaned against the entrance of the platform, her hands in her coat pockets, and curled her lips with a little disdain:

"You have moments like this too, Sitana."

"It's more likely that Isa, who is more familiar than a dog, would say such things."

Reaching the pinnacle with his power, the Wolf Emperor, who reigned supreme over the world, sneered back: "How dare you, a stubborn freak, laugh at me? I am only speaking the truth."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was somewhat tense, the saint lady in pure white robe was caught in the middle, feeling torn.

What should we do? Miss Isa said that when Miss Sitana and Miss Ming Furo quarrel, they are actually enhancing their relationship. But now, they shouldn't quarrel.

Fortunately, the two women looked at each other coldly for a while, and then suddenly laughed together.

"You really haven't changed at all." Ming Fuluo sighed softly, "You are exactly the same as when we first met. You still don't look at people straight in the eye, you are still so fierce that you seem like you will bite me at the next second, and you are still impossible to like."

Xitana was slightly dissatisfied: "Hey, how can you give someone away like this? And I have changed a lot, okay."

"Becoming more violent?"

"It has become greater! You, an old woman of steel, are you really qualified to criticize me for not being able to speak?"

Although she said this, Shitana was laughing out loud. The wind from the sky made her white hair flutter freely, and together with her happy and hearty laughter, she seemed so free and unrestrained, doing whatever she wanted.

Even when leaving, she seemed so light-hearted and free and easy.

But Ming Fuluo's eyes became serious: "Since you think you are great, why do you want to leave here?"

Xitana was stunned for a moment, then tilted her head and asked, "Is there any connection between the two?"

"...Do you really think that I, Xin, and Isa would believe that you are planning to leave this world because you have nothing to do?"

The mechanical god who changed the world and created miracles was now like an ordinary woman who didn't know how to respond to her friend's clumsy lies, and she lowered her head and rubbed her brows.

"There should be a limit to how much you can underestimate others, Lord Wolf Emperor."

"Uh……"

Sitana somewhat awkwardly shifted her gaze to Xin who was standing beside her, and the latter also lowered his head unnaturally.

After a few seconds of silence, the Wolf Emperor's deep sigh echoed in the howling wind.

"What the hell... I thought you all thought so. Is it that obvious?"

She turned her head and continued to look at the infinitely distant scenery in front of her, but this time she was not looking at the clear blue sky, but at the rolling mountains.

"But in this case...it saves us the trouble."

The corners of Hitana's mouth slightly raised, and she turned back to look at her comrade-in-arms who had entrusted her life to her, her companion who had shared her long-cherished wish, and smiled lightly:

"Compared to that lame excuse, this truth should make you support me more."

"The truth? Do you really think we're afraid that you'll kick Isa out and take over the world?"

Ming Fuluo asked back as if she was so angry that she laughed: "Do you think too highly of yourself, Xi——"

"Aren't you afraid?"

Xitana simply turned Ming Fuluo's words into a question again, silencing the scholars who spoke with reason and facts.

She opened her arms, closed her eyes, and embraced the world before her. Then, the space in front of her, perhaps tens of thousands of meters or hundreds of thousands of meters away... began to rotate with a roar, and an ether vortex that tore everything apart!

This is clearly a powerful vortex that can only be produced by the high-speed flow of ether. The reason why it appeared out of thin air now is entirely because the Sky Wolf Emperor Xitana Lancemalos drained all the ether within millions of square kilometers in a single breath!

However, when the huge vortex that seemed to tear the sky apart just took shape, Hitana opened her eyes, raised her hand, and slashed down casually.

Then, everything returned to silence, with only the hurricane and rapids stretching out for hundreds of thousands of meters, telling of the great power that transcends all things.

Xitana did not look back. Even though the wind was howling, her faint voice still reached their ears:

"You guys, aren't you afraid?"
