After hearing Jing Yuan's words, there was a slight commotion in the pioneer group. Some people were whispering at this moment, showing great interest in Jing Yuan's invitation.
But Natasha took a step forward and inserted the dark silver sword in her hand into the ground.
This is the weapon in the hands of the Catastrophe Herald, symbolizing his rank in the legion, but now it has become a sharp blade in Natasha's hand.
She stuck her sword into the ground, and green shoots continued to grow on the ground at the edge, spreading across the entire battlefield bit by bit, and quickly enveloped the mighty Cloud Cavalry Army.
But the cloud riders simply took a step back in unison, waving the cloud blades in their hands and easily cutting off the tender sprouts growing on the ground.
Jing Yuan looked at Natasha, who was obviously not very friendly, but the smile on his face did not fade. He still smiled friendly and asked:
"Is there a problem, miss? I think there is nothing difficult to understand in my words. Luo Fu is showing you goodwill, and we should have no conflicts..."
"You killed Ron, didn't you?"
It was the first time that Natasha showed such a cold expression - all the tenderness that belonged to Natasha disappeared at this moment. The expression on her face was colder than the most bone-chilling ice on Yalilo-VI. It seemed as if the scarlet flames of hell were burning in those rose-red eyes, filled with the smell of gunpowder and hatred, and her sanity completely collapsed.
"Ron?"
Jing Yuan's expression froze for a moment, and for the first time he put away that lazy friendly smile.
He looked at Natasha and asked with some doubt:
"Who is that?"
Natasha's expression became increasingly cold, the fire in her eyes burning fiercely, her rationality becoming fuel to fuel her desire for revenge, which seemed to want to devour everything.
But her voice was frighteningly calm and cold, and she explained to Jing Yuan seriously:
"Our leader, the hero who brought the dawn to this planet... the faith of the Empire, everything to me."
"You killed him, you shot him in front of all of us... This is hatred."
Natasha spoke seriously, and the pioneers in the pioneer group behind her who were whispering and very interested in Jing Yuan's invitation all lost their voices at this moment - hidden vines shot out from the ground, pierced their hearts and throats, and completely cut off their voices.
Looking at Natasha not far away, Jing Yuan's face returned to its previous lazy look, but that friendly smile could never come back.
He was silent for a moment, then asked calmly:
"...So how do you want to deal with all this?"
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth... the fight continues until death."
Natasha responded seriously, tightly grasping the long sword stuck in the ground. A faint green light flickered in her chest, and the blessing from the [Abundance] Pharmacist was burning.
"I want revenge for Ron."
Chapter 5 - Natasha's [Revenge], Game Over (k)
[After losing Ron, Natasha already had a scale in her heart to measure the cost - she pursued equal gains, equal future... and also equal sacrifice. ]
If one person adds a brick to the building of an empire, then others must also add a brick to the wall;
If someone donates a Winter City shield to the Imperial donation box, then everyone else must also donate one;
If someone sheds blood for the empire... then others must also cut their flesh and shed their blood for it. 】
【Only by advancing together in equality can we win the future. 】
[And Ron's sacrifice for the empire is infinite. ]
[“Everything in the empire is built on Ron’s sacrifice. Everyone in the empire is unconsciously tearing Ron’s flesh and blood for food, and leaning on Ron for warmth... Without Ron, there would be no empire.”]
[Over the years, she has spared no effort to spread the word about Ron's contributions throughout the empire, erected several statues for Ron, promoted Ron as the greatest hero of the entire empire, and even made him the only god of the Second Yalilo Empire.]
[Because Ron once walked into the sky with his feet on the void, and turned into a blue dragon that entwined the world above the sky, such a shocking scene can be called a miracle. Everyone's impression of Ron is constantly changing, and under Natasha's guidance, they are gradually moving towards a devout belief in the gods. ]
[If such propaganda can continue for decades, and the people who have truly seen Roon in his human state gradually forget everything that happened before, Roon's "divinity" will be firmly nailed to the history of the empire and deeply engraved in the hearts of the people.]
[Respect and faith for Ron will become the most important part of the entire empire. Everyone will become a devout believer of Ron, fanatically worshipping his achievements and deeds, and remembering his sacrifice.]
[…This is the only thing the Empire can do for Ron.]
[Even though this is almost meaningless and has no effect on Ron himself, this is also a small "reward" given by the Empire to Ron for his efforts. It is the Empire's respect for Ron, and it is a way of atonement by remembering Ron's sacrifice.]
[But the arrival of the Immortal Boat shattered all of this. ]
[They are so gentle and kind—they don’t care about your past, your nature, or the price of helping you... As long as you are willing, they will open the door to a new world for you.]
[They are willing to let everyone in the empire board the fairy boat [Luofu] and live a wonderful life in the fairyland that was once unimaginable even in fantasy...]
[…But how can these people deserve to live like this? ]
[Isn't it the fault of these fools that Ron embarked on the road of no return to the icy sea of stars? ]
[Although those infected had already paid the price of their lives, this completely disappointed Ron, and he doubted that the citizens of the Empire had never paid any price.]
[Ron sacrificed so much for this planet and tried his best to create such an environment, but now the empire is asking them to abandon this planet, abandon all of Ron's efforts, board the fairy ship that killed Ron, and beg for mercy from the enemy who killed the hero...]
[Perhaps boarding the Immortal Boat will really allow everyone to live a better life. ]
【But they don’t deserve it.】
They will have to atone for this.
The text on the light screen faded, and a dark note appeared on it:
[Disaster event: "The Elegy of the Redeemer" has been triggered. 】
[Rage overwhelmed Natasha's mind, but she did not completely lose her mind.]
【She made the choice she hoped for at the deepest level of her rationality. 】
[She wanted revenge, revenge on the immortal boat that killed Roan... and revenge on the empire that forced Roan to transform into a blue dragon and watch alone in the universe.]
[As the empress of the empire, she immediately killed all the pioneers who wavered at the first temptation, and spoke harshly to the general of the fairy boat, saying that the hatred would not end until death, and would be repaid with blood. ]
[A funny war, like children charging at adults, took place on Yalilo-VI.]
[As the right-hand man of the Empress of the Empire, you who have been following her recently were forced to join this forcibly launched war——]
[You look around and find that many people have more or less confusion on their faces.]
【This is a war that should not have happened. 】
[But under Natasha's deliberate actions, everyone was forced into this sudden war. ]
[They were swept up, just like before...]
Looking at the words on the light screen, Bronya couldn't help but sigh.
“These people have always been like this…”
If there is one thing that Bronya has learned most clearly in these simulations, it is to open her eyes to the people.
These people, whom she has always cared about and whom she hoped would be happy in the future and survive the crisis of world destruction, are actually the most stupid but also the most shrewd force in the entire Yalilo-VI.
They are stupid but unaware of it. Every choice they make is a sophisticated self-interested choice, but it can easily lead people to make calculations and choices that they shouldn't make...
And when more people do this, the remaining people will be swept up by the trend and forced to make choices that they might not have made otherwise.
Just like now - Natasha in the simulation simply shut up the part of her that would immediately speak out against it, and everything that followed was as smooth as a hot knife cutting through butter.
She swung the first knife at Xianzhou, and because no one objected to Natasha's choice, the remaining pioneers subconsciously did not think about it and were swept up by the general trend. They made the same choice as Natasha and became enemies with Xianzhou...
After seeing the events of this simulation so clearly and calmly for the first time, Bronya couldn't help but feel a little sad.
This sadness was not directed at these ignorant people, but only at herself - at the people's rebellion caused by the wrong means in her previous simulation. If she now fully understood the nature of these people, perhaps she could do better...
Looking at the words on the light screen, Bronya lightly clicked on the light screen to let the simulation continue.
Although making the entire Yalilo Second Empire atone for Ron's death and engage in a bloody battle with Xianzhou was not the outcome Bronya most hoped for, she had no intention of stopping Natasha.
...Because she also felt that the Empire in this simulation should atone to Ron.
It's just that Natasha's choice was radical and efficient...she wouldn't make that choice, that's all.
The words on the screen faded, and the frame of the screen became like an old-fashioned projector, playing film with a jam. New images were like black and white silhouettes of ink paintings, playing one after another on it.
Natasha held the long sword upside down and rushed towards the Fairy Boat Cloud Riders not far away. Behind her was a large group of pioneers, but most of them had confused expressions on their faces. Only a few veterans who had joined the pioneers before Ron left had eyes full of fearlessness.
The Cloud Cavalry, which covered the earth like a cloud, did not act rashly in the face of the massive attack by the pioneering group. They simply raised the cloud blades in their hands and moved in unison.
General Jing Yuan of the immortal ship [Luofu] sighed helplessly and was about to say something, but was cut off by Natasha who rushed over regardless of life and death. Surrounded by endless trees, Natasha was like a queen in the forest, swinging sword after sword in the green trees with the power of [Abundance];
Jing Yuan's expression became colder and colder after seeing the "rich" blessing of [Abundance]. After dodging Natasha's sword swings several times, he warned her and raised the Guandao in his hand for the first time. Lightning flashed on it, as if a world-destroying lightning was brewing...
Countless silhouettes flashed by one after another, and finally, they were frozen on one picture -
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, and the shadow of the God standing majestically on the horizon revealed its majesty under Jing Yuan's command. Almost the entire planet turned into a sea of lightning in an instant, and all evil creatures were instantly turned into charcoal in this sea of lightning, and then disappeared into ashes...
The Tree of Life, which had been planted by Natasha and whose roots penetrated deep into the earth's core and supported the dramatic changes in the ecology of the entire planet, was also broken by this ray of lightning and was completely submerged in the thunder, turning into a pitch-black silence.
Only a dark silver sword remained, inserted diagonally in front of the battlefield, becoming the only symbol on the battlefield that remained intact.
The image on the light screen faded.
[You followed Natasha's footsteps and joined the war of revenge against Xianzhou. ]
[But the Xianzhou's sharp edge cannot be questioned. The leader you are facing is General Shen Ce Jing Yuan. [Patrol] Lan once generously gave him a real blessing... Under the attention of the Star God, Jing Yuan's power is unimaginable and can easily destroy the galaxy. ]
[Originally, he didn't want to do anything about the empire's rudeness and usurpation, because the indigenous civilization didn't know what the Xianzhou was doing, and vigilance and hostility were commonplace. As a recognized good guy in Xianzhou [Luofu], Jing Yuan had dealt with such things countless times...]
[But while he was dodging Natasha's attack, he saw clearly what kind of strength Natasha was using to fight.]
[This level of [abundance] has exceeded the limit of the immortal boat's rescue and has reached the level of evil creatures - he felt regretful about the choice he had just made, and was ready to use the quickest way to repair the mistake he had just made.]
[He brought down divine punishment on the entire Yalilo-VI. The mighty divine thunder bombarded the entire Yalilo-VI. Everything related to the evil creatures of abundance was turned into scorched earth under the divine thunder. As a result, the entire planet became silent.]
[Standing on the scorched earth Yalilo-VI, Jing Yuan watched all this in silence, and only led his troops back to the ship after a long time. ]
[The Grand Assassin worked overnight to write an article in the "Record of the Emperor's Bow's Traces", recording the [Hunting] Light Arrow from outer space, interpreting the Heavenly Punishment Edict... and adding a few words at the end:]
[“The inhabitants of this planet are infected by the Longevity Plague, and the planet itself is also affected by the Longevity Plague, almost activating.”]
[“General Jing Yuan of the Divine Strategy had repeatedly advised against it, but he refused and was helplessly struck by lightning. The sea of lightning swept across Yalilo-VI, and all the evil creatures were reduced to scorched earth.”]
[The star has now been destroyed, with no remnants left. It has been classified as a "dead world" and deleted from the star map route.]
The text on the light screen faded, and a new note popped out:
[The Empire has made unimaginable efforts to revive this planet, and the blood and sweat it has shed to make it return to its lush green state is incalculable.]
[But just one hunting trip by the Immortal Boat turned the entire planet into scorched earth, and everything returned to silence.]
[You failed to protect your homeland...Only absolute power can guarantee your safety in this sea of stars.]
[The might of [Hunting] has descended upon this dead world that has been reduced to scorched earth.]
【game over. 】
Looking at the words on the light screen, Bronya couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The simulation ended, but Bronya had no gaming experience at all—because she knew nothing!
Although she suspected that Ron was a player who could do all the unimaginable things in this simulation, this could not be used as an explanation for all the problems...
For example, Bronya believed that Ron must have a way to transform into the blue dragon that encircled the entire planet, but she had no idea how Ron did it.
So now, although she knew that everything that happened in this simulation was a wrong choice that she could not choose, Bronya had no idea which choices led to all this in detail.
Why did this "immortal boat" come from afar, and why did the Shen Ce general "Jing Yuan" appear? He could summon divine thunder with just a wave of his sword and easily destroy the entire planet?
She knew nothing... The enemies in every previous simulation were at least recorded in the records of the city builders, but this time the immortal boat was something that was rarely recorded in the city builders' lists...
Bronya rubbed her frowning brows helplessly. The words on the light screen in front of her faded, and a new note appeared on it:
[The score of this life simulation is: 60 points]
【You gained 600 world experience points. 】
[Your world level has been upgraded to LV.15]
[As the deputy emperor of the Yalilo Second Empire, you and Cocolia Rand have become the most reliable right-hand men of the emperor. ]
[No one can deny your achievements. You have completed most of the clerical work of the empire and devoted a lot of energy to the complicated government affairs of the empire. Without you, it is hard to imagine how many troubles the empire would have encountered... But your achievements are limited to this.]
[As the emperor's deputy, you were unable to pull the emperor back on track when his choices were extreme - this is true for Ron and Natasha. You only fulfilled your duties, but failed to do better.]
