In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Maria was awakened, then silently raised her head and looked at Frost Star beside her.

This time, it was the first time that Frost Star and Maria looked face to face.

Even though she had wandered the snowfields for many years, she couldn't help but feel scared when she saw those scarlet eyes.

But fortunately, Maria did not come to Frost Star with the intention of settling accounts. After a simple arrangement, Frost Star sat opposite Maria politely.

"To be honest, I think your ignorance sometimes makes me a little angry..."

Maria spoke, her voice calm but with a hint of rebuke.

I have already reminded these people to leave early...

Frost Star was not convinced and wanted to argue a few more words.

But after a moment, she also shut her mouth.

What could she say?

He said that he and others came back to save Maria?

This reason was acceptable before, but after witnessing Maria's terrifying power to change the surrounding environment, she couldn't say it anymore.

It was also at this time that she suddenly understood why her adoptive father, the last Wendigo on Terra, was so in awe of Maria.

Maria, who possesses this kind of power, may have reached the level of the legendary behemoth.

At least, in Frost Star's cognition, the only ones who have the power to change the surrounding environment are the inner guards who have borrowed the power of evil spirits.

And that changed environment is simply a negative area that exists solely for killing.

Maria is far more powerful than those inner guards!

Fortunately, Maria didn't go to Frost Star just to scold her, she just wanted to fulfill her promise.

As the doll brought her two cups of warm black tea, Maria gently raised her hand, slid her fingers slightly, and cut a small gap.

The pure, unrefined blood of Cain slowly dripped into the black tea in front of Frost Star.

I don’t know if it’s the effect of psychological suggestion, but Frost Star always feels that with the dripping of Maria’s blood, the black tea in front of him looks particularly bright red.

And at this moment, Maria looked at Frost Star again.

"Swear to me..."

"Ok?"

"Swear to me... to revere the Pale Blood."

Chapter 172: Like a God

"What do you mean?"

In response to Maria's words, Frost Star did not give a direct answer, but turned around in confusion.

Why did we suddenly jump to the oath-taking part?

Did she promise anything?

"literal meaning."

Maria didn't move, but just put her hands on her knees and silently stared at the girl in front of her. Her calm and elegant sitting posture was completely different from the carefree attitude of Frost Star, who grew up in the wilderness.

"Ever since you were consumed by the flames, you have been my followers... Although I don't know if this is the right way to describe it, you have indeed established a connection with me. I can feel the beating of your hearts at any time."

Maria said this, clenching her palms slightly.

Frost Star could clearly feel an itchy sensation coming from his chest.

It was like a caress that brushed across a place that had never been touched before.

My chest...itches...

This action also made Shuangxing realize his somewhat delicate situation.

She frowned and touched her chest.

After a moment, she raised her head and looked at Maria.

"what have you done?"

"……I have no idea."

How could Maria know such a thing? After all, she was just an ordinary human born into an unusual race. The authority of the gods was something she couldn't possibly comprehend with her mind until she gave up her physical body.

But for sure.

"You are now considered my servants... I don't know what consequences this will bring, but there is no doubt that you are no longer normal beings."

Maria slowly stood up and stared at the girl in front of her seriously.

"You may have many ideas, but before that, as the representative of the group, you must give me a clear answer..."

"Submit to me, or be slaughtered by me!"

Maria looked down at Frost Star, her words cold and without any mercy.

She didn't know what would happen to those affected by her power, but she didn't have the energy to observe them one by one to see if they would become thirsty for blood or if their bodies would become deformed.

So she only gave two solutions.

Either you swear an oath to her and stay in this New Yharnam forever, or... I will slaughter them all with my own hands!

She has the ability!

Such an attitude naturally aroused Frost Star's resistance.

She frowned decisively and glared at Maria in front of her.

"Are you threatening us?"

"Yes."

Maria explained her meaning frankly.

She was threatening.

And there is no room for bargaining!

Frost Star naturally couldn't be manipulated by Maria like this.

She gritted her teeth decisively and stood up.

But after noticing that she was not as tall as Maria, she subtly stood on tiptoe and stretched her ears!

"We will never accept such an option!"

"...Then I will take action against you."

Maria said, slowly clenching her fists.

A strong feeling of suffocation suddenly surged into Frost Star's body.

Her eyes widened as she realized Maria was serious.

This wasn't a threat to steer the conversation in a certain direction, but a genuine one, with Maria giving them only two choices.

Surrender or die...

"You should be thankful that I've changed a lot during this time... At least I'm not as extreme as I used to be. Otherwise, I would have appeared before you the moment you were eroded."

Maria said calmly, loosening her grip again to allow the other person to catch their breath.

The current development of events was indeed beyond her expectations...but she really had no intention of killing these people.

She planned to keep these people in this new land of Yharnam.

Anyway, this mobile platform has a large area of land that can be used... and she obviously has no plans to build anything on it, so these people can just live here peacefully.

Besides, doesn't this guy want to live in a place where he won't be discriminated against?

Yharnam is obviously a suitable place for them.

Frost Star couldn't possibly be unaware of the pros and cons of this.

But she just looked at Maria in front of her silently.

Although she really didn't want to follow Maria's ideas, but looking at the current situation...it seemed that she had no choice but to follow her wishes.

In a trance, she recalled the conversation between her and the Patriot.

At that time, the Patriot asked her what she thought of the current integration movement.

It was obvious that by that time, the Patriots had already lost faith in the Integration Movement.

But Froststar just said that she was willing to believe Tallulah...

But at that time, the patriots said nothing.

Just like all fathers in the world who are not good at expressing their emotions, so is Patriot.

He didn't know how to persuade Froststar to leave the vortex called the Reunion Movement, just like he didn't know how to save his own child...

So... you knew that I would be trapped here by her, so you handed me over to her?

Frost Star pursed her lips and looked at the quiet woman in front of her with complicated eyes.

After a long silence, she continued to speak.

She wasn't going to resist.

Facing Maria, who possessed such great power, any resistance on her part was futile.

But she still figured out what Maria wanted to do.

She needs to be responsible for her own team of snow monsters!

"What are you going to do with us if we take the oath?"

"Not really... You can still live your life according to your own habits. I won't stop you from doing anything you want, but you will never be allowed to leave Yharnam without my permission."

Maria spoke softly, her words very calmly.

"Just as you feel, the Originium in your body has been controlled, right?"

"I can clearly tell you that this is not an illusion. They are indeed controlled, but they are only controlled."

"Without further external forces, the Originium in your bodies will not disappear... but it will not deepen either."

"I think this is something that is well worth exchanging your freedom for."

Maria's voice was very soft, but to Frost Star's ears, it sounded like the ringing of a huge bell!

What is the most terrifying thing about Originium Disease?

It’s not about what will happen after the infection, nor about how pervasive it is before the infection, but the most crucial thing is that after the infection, it cannot be cured for life!

It can be said that the infected person's life has come to an end since the day he was infected by Originium!

But what is Maria saying now?

Staying here... can I suppress the worsening of Originium disease?

How can this be? !

"I don't need to prove to you how to do this, but you can use your own time to discern the truth of my words."

Maria spoke calmly, looking at the white rabbit girl in front of her with dilated pupils.

She has said everything she needed to say, including threats and inducements. What remains to be seen is Frost Star's decision.

"Now, back to the original question."

"Are you willing to swear an oath to me?"

Maria sat in a chair and spoke calmly.

Behind her, the huge white moon slowly moved behind her...

Flickering slightly...
