Chapter 2244: Chapter 2239: The Crucified Human King (29)

The momentum of attack and defense has changed.

Ariel, even if your heart is as steadfast as steel and you bravely sacrifice for your faith, what will you do if I directly expel you from the order?

At that moment, Fu Qian seemed to hear such lines being played.

Frankly speaking, it truly was a brilliant move.

Under successive slaughters, it remains undying, always serving as an "anchor," guiding the continuous accumulation of calamity.

Even His Majesty the Lonely King, preparing to be born, was deterred, not daring to break the waters.

And every minute and second at this moment was forcibly fought for under the Night Watchman’s nose with great effort; stalemate was absolutely intolerable.

Since repeated attempts failed to crush it into powder, then simply don’t crush it, not wasting even a second more on trying, just remove it out of sight.

Ever since coming to this Hall of Fate, while still persisting in playing the current role, Fu Qian had empathy for similar feelings.

And in the end, it proved that there indeed was such a character, harboring such a mindset.

It even appeared not so unexpected that this character’s identity turned out to be—Rom?

...

Indeed, Fu Qian surely knew that the one exiling him was precisely the one in the belly of the Lonely King.

But as everyone knows, even as an Emperor, it’s hard to say if the child in one’s belly is truly one’s own.

Don’t forget, based on earlier inferences, the child in the Lonely King’s belly holds another identity, which is the object that the Native Council is desperately striving to secure.

It is also the core target of his mission this time.

So why does the Native Council spare no expense?

Knowing that the Night Watchman is present, even when splashed with filth, they refuse to give up, putting all efforts to finish things.

Even someone as top-tier as Ariel vaguely seems to be used as a consumable.

It was earlier inferred that the Native Council has certain ambitions on this journey, and given so much sunk cost, the only explanation is that the ambition is significant—so how big is significant?

Although they’re others’ projects, as a competitor, Fu Qian still has some concept of the current core issues of the Native Council.

If he remembered correctly, he had experienced this unfaltering spirit once in Dunis—

Rejecting all futures that were not successful, suspected to be from the ancient superior Rom, swearing to attach his name to the poor Hamadus.

Though ultimately, in the face of the impregnable Sweet Dream Cage, this determination was forced to capitulate, swallowing failure in humiliation.

Yet, even as a victor, Fu Qian very much appreciated this spirit.

In short, although he had never seen the true form, the mysterious Lord Rom was clearly a core of the Native Council’s high-level actions for many days.

As a result, when the other party showed the posture of sparing no expense to achieve something on this journey, Fu Qian’s first thought was of that person.

As for why they could run directly into someone’s belly?

Also unsurprising, don’t forget, related to Lord Rom, in another task involving the Reminiscence Record, the final summary clearly mentioned that Rom had control over a certain "Order of Blood."

And the core of such authority is related to reproduction, aiming to iterate into a brand-new, more advanced self.

Not to mention that the first thing that Rom did upon debut was seizing a body, suggesting something went seriously wrong with His own and He was actively seeking a solution.

In such a situation, the love crystal between the Lonely King and the Goddess was undoubtedly a well-qualified target, quite fitting with Rom’s authority.

As for how to complete this process?

Fu Qian surely didn’t know the specific operational details, but he could conjure a critical juncture—the Lonely King’s arrival upon Ariel, then the latter turning into the medium.

Don’t assume things without evidence; Ya Yu might have jumped out, but how do you know there aren’t other things still hidden on that poor predecessor?

...

If that were truly the case, then it made all the more sense for the seamlessness in the confrontation of auras.

And sure enough, the Native Council’s understanding of this place was profound indeed.

Exploiting the characteristics of this place, exchanging Ariel’s sacrifice for the Lonely King’s descent.

And the concealed Rom had a chance to make contact, silently seizing the Lonely King’s offspring.

If not disrupted by him, it was hard to imagine what tragic ordeal would befall this couple wed through pregnancy.

Truly worthy of being an ancient superior, Lord Rom’s level of patience was also considerably evident.

Even facing his disruptive self, Rom endured, doing nothing to avoid any extra trouble.

Though the recognition of his enmity was acknowledged, this time Lord Rom’s patience broke.

At the final critical moment, he eventually took action to banish him, the disruptive element, ensuring the grand scheme could proceed.

Even the means were refreshingly novel.

This "outside the discourse" technique was indeed witnessed for the first time, leaving no doubt that it was a special defense prepared by Lord Rom.

The exaggerated nature of it, used on someone like him, felt somewhat wasteful.

At least in Fu Qian’s view, even if His Majesty the Lonely King had been hit with this move, barring exerting every effort to maintain self until time runs out, there was almost no room for struggle.

More severe was that, from this perspective, the Goddess of Sin and His Majesty the Lonely King were indeed somewhat dull at the moment, facing the apparent paternity test, yet showing no reaction.

As the belly was being torn, crazily deformed, His Majesty the Lonely King’s pain even led Him to hold the Goddess of Sin tighter, moaning in a sound that seemed to blend pain with pleasure...

A person with perseverance will not be let down by heaven; the Native Council’s plan to retrieve chestnuts from the fire seemed about to successfully come to fruition—though the Abandonment King might not be the same as the Lonely King.

Could the latter not break through, have you asked the Mechanical Tyrant?

Do you understand that surrogacy is illegal?

Fu Qian took a deep breath.

...

Lord Rom’s subsequent moves were indeed exquisite, but he miscalculated one thing.

Even though it was a slaughterhouse using a cattle knife for a Second Phase.

But could it be possible that the target of this expulsion, even a cattle knife, was still not enough?

The disinclination for true form arrival earlier considered the stability of the Lonely King’s Palace.

And in the face of such a situation, theoretically, was isolating oneself from the court?

Then this seat need not be polite.

The cost expended was nothing more than the collapse of the meticulously managed persona all along, the battle of true and false Yavier coming fully to an end—Fu Qian exhaled that breath.

Indeed, he did not transform into the Abandonment King to tear the heavens, as the guest’s laughter at that moment had successfully resonated with an old acquaintance—Patch?

With an overcast face, sparse hair, sheer malevolent aura emanating from the features... an image imprinted itself into Fu Qian’s mind.

Truly a mark of the Lonely King, this joyful banquet involved the invitation of three Superior Beings to witness?

Contributing again to the swell of who would be the oriole behind at this time.
