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

"Gu..."

A low roaring sound came from the darkness, and what Maria saw was a scene that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

The terrifying three-headed hound lay calmly on the ground, with emerald green plants spreading around it. Its body seemed slightly younger than Maria remembered, but still very limited.

"I've seen you in the future..."

Maria whispered, her tone calm.

But in front of him, the hound opened his eyes in confusion.

At this moment, it still has the strength to speak.

"Who are you?"

"You are not... my kind..."

Perhaps because it had never spoken before, the three-headed dog's speech was a little awkward, but this did not prevent it from being certain that Maria in front of it was not of the same kind as itself.

She is a human...

"It does not matter."

Maria shook her head and looked around again.

Just like in the future, at this moment, the three-headed hound has already begun to infuse this land with its life.

Judging from its posture, it has been here for a long, long time.

It was so long that its body even merged with the land and could no longer be separated.

"You'll die if you keep going like this."

Maria said casually, spitting out the other party's future ending.

But the three hounds didn't care.

It just shook its tail reluctantly and looked at the figure in front of it.

"What is death?"

"..."

Maria obviously knew the result. This time, the purpose of her communication with the other party was not so much because Maria simply wanted to see the hound.

After all, in the future, when he first faced Godan, he also helped...

"How long do you think you can wait here?"

Maria asked again, but the hound seemed listless.

"I'll keep waiting..."

"..."

"This is the boss's home... When he comes back and sees me, he'll be very happy..."

The hound murmured, dropping his head down in front of his legs, his skull pressed to the ground.

His eyebrows were raised and his eyes were looking at the sky.

It felt that it had changed a lot, and the surrounding environment had also changed a lot.

It's not very smart and can't think of much.

But it knows that this is its boss's territory, and sooner or later it will return here.

Then we can all play together again...

I want to roll on the grass...

I want to eat bones and meat...

I want...

My thoughts are getting more and more, but the emotions blocking my chest are becoming more and more vague.

It felt as if there was something extra in its head, but when it tried to bite it, the memory quickly ran away.

Helplessly, it turned its head and looked at Maria in front of it.

"Do you know something?"

"I feel like I'm forgetting something."

"..."

Maria didn't say anything. She just walked forward and gently touched the big dog-brain's forehead.

In a trance, the hound found that his mind seemed to be much clearer.

but……

Maria withdrew her hand.

Under the hound's puzzled gaze, Maria let out a breath softly.

"You don't want to know that outcome."

"You talk so strangely..."

The hound shook its head helplessly, but it couldn't find anyone to help... In all these years, Maria was the first person who approached it without being afraid. When it couldn't find anyone else, it could only wag its tail.

"Help me... please?"

"Something is stuck in my chest. I'm so sad..."

The hound shook its head. Although its size and breath were terrifying, its thinking was no different from that of a dog.

The round, dark eyes looked at Maria with some anticipation.

The hound knows no exchange.

It's just pure faith, faith that everything will be alright...

There are no bad people in this world!

"..."

Maria was silent for a few moments, but then she chuckled a few times.

She silently stretched out her hand, slowly pulled out a section of umbilical cord from the void, and silently placed it beside it.

Maria whispered under the hound's puzzled gaze.

"Using this, you should be able to solve the problem you had when you were born. Perhaps then you will be able to understand the memory trapped in your mind."

"Woo~"

There was a hint of excitement on the hound's face, and it even wanted to nudge Maria with joy.

But unfortunately, because it had been lying on the ground for too long, it couldn't even move at this time.

Seeing Maria turn around and choose to leave, it flapped its wings anxiously.

"Wait a minute!"

it said.

When Maria turned around, it tried to move, causing the small flower next to it to fall and be handed to Maria.

"For you...thank you!"

The big dog was very happy.

"May I help you?"

The big dog is not a bad dog. It knows that after others give it something, it should give something back to them.

only……

But Maria just looked at the fallen flower and picked it up.

"You'll be able to help me later."

After saying that, she turned around and slowly left...

……

After leaving the forest, Maria continued to move eastward.

She has no destination, she just goes wherever she wants.

From Bolivar, to Colombia, to Victoria, to Kjerag, Letania.

Maria waited for the opportunity to return to Agor while looking at the entire Terra world.

Watching the refugees flee, watching disasters happen, watching tragedy after tragedy occur, and...

Look at herself, at the scene when she destroyed the coalition forces in Kazdel.

"At that time, a lot of things did happen..."

Maria whispered, looking at the city she had burned, feeling a little curious.

As the person involved, Maria has never actually realized how horrific her actions are.

But this journey does not last forever.

After a while, Maria finally arrived at a place she had heard about but never seen since arriving in Terra...

Its name is...

Lateran...

408

Chapter 408: Priest and Papal Knight.

Lateran was a religious state...

This was something Maria knew before coming here.

But Maria was not very clear about the specific description of Lateran.

When Maria actually came here, she was indeed stunned by the architectural style here.

The buildings that can be seen everywhere are pure white... Even if not, the Laterans are accustomed to using a white-gray color close to white as the main body of the building.

Magnificent Roman columns are placed in an orderly manner on the ground, and beautiful statues and murals can be seen everywhere along the streets.

The entire Lateran Kingdom is like a huge church!

In addition to the unique architecture here, the local customs also made Maria feel a little surprised.

The children you see everywhere are not playing activities like kicking a ball, they like to compete in shooting skills.

The air was filled with a sweet smell that was enough to suffocate even those who didn't like sweets.

The sugar has seeped into the air!

Maria was walking when she suddenly stopped.

In front of her, a man dressed as a guard stood silently in front of Maria and spoke with a serious face.

"Please stop, ma'am."

It was a woman's voice... She stretched out her hand to stop Maria from moving forward.

As Maria tilted her head in confusion, the other party continued to speak.

"An experiment is underway ahead... Under the witness of the notary office, we should eliminate all possible accidents..."

"test?"

Maria showed some doubts, but the other party nodded seriously.

She turned sideways so that Maria could see that right on the side of the road, several children who were obviously overly energetic were trying to fill some instruments with some substance. Next to them, various packaged desserts were placed in an orderly manner, ready to meet their next fate.

There was another person wearing thick protective clothing, like a snowman, standing next to the explosion.

It seems like he's preparing to be bombed?!

"We are currently investigating whether regular desserts are still edible under close-range, high-pressure conditions. Furthermore, we are investigating whether citizens can gain temporary strength from desserts in the event of severe injuries..."

The woman dressed as a guard spoke in a calm and objective tone, words that Maria could not understand.
