The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Ji was not panicked, because he knew that based on Xitana's character, if she did not accept these words, she would have punched him long ago.

The longer she was silent, the more it showed that she was thinking seriously about everything she had experienced.

“Enlightenment… ah.”

After a long time, the girl finally spoke.

"Yes, enlightenment, it is the enlightenment that has been passed down by the pioneers and every bishop for eight hundred years—"

"It was quite shocking, but I could feel that they really meant it and they were really an amazing group of guys."

Sitana rarely, or almost never, gave so many positive comments to anyone other than Anser, but she still added a "although".

"But." She tilted her head, "Don't you think they are a little pitiful?"

Jina's respectful expression changed slightly, but before he could speak, Xitana spoke up:

"Didn't you feel anything during the last part of this memory?"

"The guilt that the pioneers felt when their students made that decision."

"You...are joking, Lord Lance."

Ji, who was so cunning that he could play both the Grand Duke of Gray Tower and Leng Zhu at the same time, had a hard time keeping his smile at this moment: "The pioneers and the first generations are all the purest idealists. They are people in the same industry. How could the pioneers feel guilty?"

"Because it went too smoothly." Xitana polished her nails lazily, "Because every student he met was an amazing genius, and they were all willing to do this, as if all the talents accumulated on that continent for thousands of years were sent to him at this moment."

Yes, the pioneers of the past would certainly wonder if they were born with such a mission. It was this mission that made him meet Zerui and these outstanding geniuses who could shine for an era. It was some kind of inevitability that made them gather here for the same purpose - that is, to change the world.

“But at that moment.”

Seemingly nonchalant, Xitana suddenly raised her eyes, and the pure murderous intent and cruelty in her dark red eyes... made Ji difficult to understand.

"At that moment he understood that there should be no inevitability in the world."

Because the pioneer once felt that his mission in life was to fulfill that long-cherished wish, but when faced with the students' extremely determined sacrifice, he suddenly realized that it seemed that no one... was born to do something.

“So when I think about this, I feel unhappy.”

It was like a whisper from the netherworld of hell echoing in the empty space. Red and black air currents entangled it and transformed into the shadow of a demon wolf, venting its master's hatred with its growl.

"Why is there such a necessity? Even if there is such a necessity... why doesn't it happen to Anser?"

Why, someone in this world must become the savior, and Ansel deserves to endure all the despair?

"Oh, by the way, it's normal that you don't understand me. After all, you don't know the truth of this world."

The wolf rubbed his neck and began to stretch his muscles: "After all, my biggest feeling is not what I just said. Do you know what it is?"

She stretched, her body transformed into a beast, and the demon wolf turned into armor that wrapped around her slender and powerful limbs.

Covered by the wolf-head helmet, she sighed in a overlapping tone, both distressed and relieved:

"There is only one Anser in this world."

Chapter 6: God, Man, Part (K)

"Are you still going to fight us, Lord Lance?"

Looking at the fully armed Xitana, Ji couldn't understand.

He couldn't understand why Xitana would make such a choice.

"Why do you have to be our enemy? We all know your kindness and integrity. You should also know that most people in this world cannot understand your persistence."

It is abnormal in itself for a supernatural being to fight for the rights of ordinary people - the iron rule that this society has built over millions of years will make almost everyone think so.

In that case, why did Xitana stand against them? Aren't they the same kind of people? Or is it that the memory of eight hundred years ago, the determination that has been passed down for eight hundred years, can't move her?

"why?"

Sitana stretched her body in a relaxed manner and tilted her head slightly: "Didn't I just tell you that? Oh... you don't understand."

The girl seemed to have realized something. Although she remained in a state of combat readiness, she did not show any strong hostility. She put one hand on her waist and said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"What I mean is, although those people are quite powerful, they are still far inferior to Anser."

No matter how great an existence is, the evaluation he gets from her is just "There is only one Anser in the world."

Oh, no, the fact that Anser can be used as a criterion for judgment is enough to prove that Hitana sincerely recognizes the awareness and beliefs of the pioneers and first bishops.

Silence...enlightenment.

He looked at the monster in front of him who was not moved at all and didn't even seem to take the pioneers seriously. He understood why she chose to stand against the church.

"So that's how it is... Do you choose to blindly follow His Royal Highness the Regent?"

"Hmm?" Hitana's face, wrapped in the helmet, showed displeasure. "What's going on? You're the one who's upset first? How can you be so shameless?"

"Here... there is an absolutely rigorous and complete solution that has been accumulated for 800 years and is in front of you!"

Ji, who had been calm and peaceful all the time, gradually raised his voice, seeming a little out of control: "We have revealed everything to you without reservation, but you chose the unknown represented by His Royal Highness the Regent?!"

The violent shock wave that impacted the soul exploded in this space without any warning.

Hitana, who should have rushed to Ji in an instant, froze, and Ji even took half a second to realize it before he flashed away.

...Why, it's so fast!

Ji stood still and stared at the demon wolf, who was rubbing his forehead and shaking his head, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Wasn't the speed she had just achieved above the city her limit? Was she still hiding some of her strength?

【negative】

An indifferent, flat voice echoed in Ji's mind.

[Individual Beast, was at its individual limit state 17 minutes and 34 seconds ago, and achieved a slight breakthrough in the limit 2 seconds ago]

"..."

Although this has been discussed internally many times, the following question still involuntarily emerged in Ji's mind -

Xitana Lancemalos, this woman... is she really human?

"It hurts so much..." Shitana bared her teeth, "It will take a few hits before I become immune... Come to think of it, I can be immune to soul attacks."

"...Lord Lance, I offended you just now. I apologize."

Ji bowed his head deeply: "I just hope that you can make a calm and objective judgment, and not make a wrong choice because of your trust in His Royal Highness the Regent."

The demon wolf stood there for two seconds, as if seriously considering Ji's words.

"Are you mentally ill?"

——But this sentence proved that she was obviously speechless because of Ji.

"I just--"

"Why is it that I am wrong to believe Anser, and right to believe you?"

Why? What else could there be? The church's long-cherished wish, as well as the sacrifices and efforts made for this long-cherished wish, were all conveyed to Xitana without reservation, but what about Anser?

"Lord Lance, do you think that the method of His Royal Highness the Regent is feasible?"

Ji threw away his staff, saying that it didn't matter even if he was killed by Hitana. At this moment, it seemed that he was trying to maintain the belief that had been passed down for more than 800 years rather than to persuade Hitana.

"Do you think that you can use so-called laws and rules, forced constraints and control, to allow mortals to live happily in this world that is not suitable for them? I don't believe you are so naive. You have clearly already-"

hum-

An indescribable rhythm of shockwaves echoed in front of Ji. The speed of the demon wolf, which was more violent and swift than thunder and lightning, had completely exceeded Ji's perception. The good news was that she was blocked by an invisible barrier. The bad news was... even though this barrier was constantly emitting shocks that shook her soul, she showed no signs of stopping.

Even... her roar became even more violent and ferocious:

“Is this fucking over?”

Since growing up in the countryside, Hitana inevitably learned some vulgar words, but after being tamed by Ansir, she rarely said such words, which shows how bad her mood is now.

"East Port, Northland... You said I should see the oppression of mortals by the extraordinary. I saw it, and then what? Is there nothing else? Can we ignore the war that should not have been started and the deaths that could have been avoided under such an important topic?!"

[Warning, unknown factors, individual beast is gradually becoming immune to soul shock and all subsequent methods that may cause damage to the soul. I will soon adopt the third method——]

[No, Hydra must be watching, if you do this, it will be irreversible! ]

[…Observation behavior of individual Hydra observed, searching for individual Hydra’s location]

It didn't matter to Ji where Hydra was. He knew he was being watched and that man would not allow anything to get out of control.

Ji could have easily escaped, but he didn't. Instead, he watched the invisible barrier being torn apart bit by bit by Shitana, and listened to her increasingly furious words.

"Now, knowing that you have no way to escape, you come to tell me that you don't want to be an enemy of me and Anser, that you are doing great things and want to get my recognition and my support..."

"Hey, old bastard."

Endless wolves rushed out from behind her. Amid the overwhelming wave of killing intent and destruction, Ji heard Xitana's cold whisper:

"Do I look like a hungry wild dog?"

"Even a dog wouldn't betray its master, so why do you think a woman would betray a man who is willing to risk everything for her just because of a few words from a sick bastard?"

That invisible special barrier... is shattering!

[Warning, individual Ji, please take immediate measures to escape, the current time is not the expected time of death for individual Ji]

"Why should I trust Anser? I also want to ask, why do you think I will believe you, idiot!"

"You have never truly believed in Anser, believed in his vision and ability, believed in his kindness and gentleness. That's why you act like rats in a hole, only believing that you are right... Even so, when being torn apart by you rats, Anser's first thought is still how to solve the problem."

"Why, you are the only ones allowed to believe in yourselves, but I am not allowed to... believe in Anser!"

In the red and black torrent that looked like blood mist, a beast claw that broke through the boundaries stretched out and tightly grasped Ji's throat.

Ji saw the dark red eyes flashing in the endless murderous aura, and finally understood where they were wrong.

They did not misjudge Xitana's integrity and kindness; nor did they misjudge Xitana's feelings for Anser.

But... they underestimated Xitana's experience, Xitana's... experience.

Hercules...

Hercules has replaced too many things that should have been done by Xitana Lancemalos, preventing her from more deeply understanding the root of the contradictions in this world. He has been seizing, seizing Xitana's "role" as the protagonist of this war, and taking away the growth brought by these roles.

And from Athena's perspective, her Anther is innocent, because no one knows how much Anther knows, and Anther can have ten thousand reasons to explain his "inaction" - the character of Hercules makes up for his inaction to a large extent.

At the same time, for Hitana, who has an extremely simple concept of good and evil, even if the church has ten thousand reasons, it cannot atone for their sins. They have brought...war and death.

So that's how it is. I was right. Everyone and everything that happened here was still just... your test of Qishou.

Just like what happened in Donggang, you are still...sharpening your sword!

Lord Lance... please tell me, how can I trust such a monster favored by the abyss, such a madman... who is more terrifying than the emperor?

Ji was not afraid, he just felt a little sad.

He knew that it was impossible for him to convince Shitana. Although he had a final trump card, it was obviously meaningless to Shitana who was already extremely angry. She would not listen to anything he said.

[Warning, the current time is not the estimated time of death of individual Ji, please take measures to delay it]

[I know, I'll just have to put it off a little longer...]

[Warning, Individual Hydra has——]

"Because people cannot understand each other, Xier."

That calm and gentle voice froze the two people present.

"There is no right or wrong in this world, only positions... But you don't need to worry about these things, I will take care of it, let go of our Bishop Ji."

The wolves that were about to tear Ji into pieces suddenly disappeared without a trace, and Ji was thrown to the ground with a thud. However, Miss Wolf, who had been violent, fierce, tough and cool just now, now screamed in bewilderment.

"An'an'an'an'ser! You, you, you...why are you here? No, how long have you been here!?"

The considerate and gentle Master Anser replied with a smile: "I have heard everything."

Shitana screamed uncontrollably, ran behind Ansher and kept hitting his back.

Ansher turned around and rubbed her head, his voice so happy and satisfied.

"I knew you were the best, Xi'er."

The fist that had been hanging weakly against Anser's chest suddenly became completely limp. The girl lowered her head and pressed her burning cheek against Anser's neck, as if she was crying or mumbling like a spoiled child: "Even so, even so, you can't secretly laugh at me!"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault."

After coaxing Xi Xiaogou into a state of confusion in a few moves, Anser looked at Ji who had stood up from the ground and greeted him with a smile:
