This seemingly annoying behavior, yet not actually annoying, how should I put it...

I hope it's not what I'm thinking, but could it be that the Second Sun appeared before, just like its brother?

Is it possible that I was unaware of it?

Just then, the office phone rang, but this did not affect the Second Sun's tapping on the Sun model at all, and Tlaloc answered the phone quite consciously. After all, although she had retired, she was still the one handling things.

"Hmm? Edison? You're not... Oh, you mean you encountered someone from Chaldea? Then what are you waiting for? Just bring him in to see me... You need to make an Od communication with me first, okay?"

After a few seconds of silence, the air distorted, and a blue spatial dialog box appeared in front of Tlaloc.

The first people to appear before Tlaloc were Edison, who wore a fawning smile, and Pirogov.

"Hey you Lion brat, get out of my way! Where are the Chaldea people?"

"Over here, over here, these two are Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash from Chaldea."

Edison extended his hand, and the dialog box then pointed at the two girls, who introduced themselves.

Tlaloc crossed his arms, sized up the two men, and nodded, adopting the air of a superior.

Immediately afterwards, the dialogue box changed again, Edison carefully introduced Rama and Vritra, who had followed him.

"These two are Rama, the Holy King of India, and Purna, the King of Asuras. They have abandoned darkness and come to us..."

"Bullshit! When did I say that? Be careful, or I'll tear you apart with my bare hands, Lion!"

Hearing Edison say this, coupled with the red-haired man forcing a smile in the chat box and the nonchalant tone of the Blonde Girl, Tlaloc couldn't help but narrow his eyes even further.

What, does India think the same way I do, and also want to carry out a decapitation strike? Too bad, apart from Krishna, there aren't many in India who can defeat me.

And because there was Second Sun inside the house, Tlaloc directly questioned:

"Edison, have you been brainwashed? How dare you bring India to see me? You've got some nerve!"

"No, no, no, no, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

Edison stroked the Lion's head. "There's also someone from Chaldea. You'll understand when you meet him, sir."

"Oh? Really? Let me see."

The Black-Haired Girl's lips curled up slightly, and her tone became incredibly gentle.

In truth, Tlaloc felt he didn't need to ask anymore. At this moment, weren't the people who followed Chaldea the Dharma—?

So when the blond man, dressed in a familiar primitive style and wearing Jaguar Man Mask, appeared in the chat box, Tlaloc's eyes widened as if he had been unexpectedly attacked, and he was speechless for a moment.

Because her expression was really funny, Novia continued:

"It's me, and you're not satisfied?"

"... How could it be my elder brother?!"

After regaining her senses from her stunned state, Tlaloc hurriedly informed Edison that she could enter. Having lost all communication, Tlaloc sat in the presidential room, pondering why the person who had arrived was the First Sun, Tezcatlipoca, her older brother, and not the Fifth Sun, Favia, her lover.

This is really strange. I can't understand it. Although it's not impossible for my brother to come, it just seems odd no matter how you look at it. Isn't Favia supposed to be in Chaldea? Shouldn't he come in this situation?

Wait a minute—

Tlaloc narrowed his eyes, gazing meaningfully at the table.

"This Tezcatlipoca, this elder brother, could he be Favia in disguise, trying to deceive me?"

After all, Tlaloc had indeed been fooled by Novia in this way before, so it was normal for her to have such a suspicion. However, she was not sure whether it was a real Tezcatlipoca or a disguised Favia, because no one but the person in question could be sure unless they voluntarily removed the mask.

Although he couldn't be sure which one it was, at this moment, Tlaloc couldn't help but look towards where the 'Second Sun' was, who had returned to her usual calm demeanor as she stroked the Sun model.

If they are older brothers, then the two will definitely start fighting as soon as they meet.

If it were Favia, given the Second Sun's personality, she would definitely have gone to him... Let's assume that for now, after all, this might be a facet of Quetzalcoatl, but in essence, she should still be the Sun who wants to abolish Sacrifice.

But if that's really the case, what's the point of pretending? Is he just trying to hear me call him "brother"? If he said so, I could call him "brother" too, so where's the need for it? That's strange...

In short, Tlaloc felt it was neither logical nor appropriate for the two to meet immediately, and suggested he test the waters first.

Therefore, Tlaloc walked out of the Presidential Suite and slowly came to the Great Gate to wait for everyone to arrive.

Before long, Novia arrived in front of Tlaloc.

At that moment, the Black-Haired Girl, her hands clasped tightly behind her back, smiled slightly and called out enthusiastically:

"The great Tezcatlipoca, though a figure with many faces since the age of mythology, whose true purpose is unknown, has surprised me greatly with his appearance now. Heh, what do you think..."

Tlaloc paused, then removed his sunglasses, his dark eyes staring sharply at him.

Did I remember to observe carefully this time?

"... Oh? Is that so?"

Hearing Tlaloc say this, Novia couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. After all, he had said the same thing to her before. But now that she was the First Sun, she should at least do what was appropriate for her position.

"When you offer advice to God, be prepared to give your life."

Novia raised his Pistol and fired a few shots at Tlaloc, seemingly casually, but all of them missed.

The precision was deliberately adjusted, but it seems that this led to a misunderstanding by Tlaloc.

"... Understood."

Tlaloc was somewhat dejected. In her opinion, the person in front of her had such terrible shooting skills; he hadn't even hit her at such close range. It seemed most likely he really was her brother. Sigh, really...

However, regardless of the circumstances, the addition of the Tezcatlipoca significantly enhanced its power. Therefore, after coughing twice and putting on his sunglasses, Tlaloc prepared to explain to the 'First Sun':

"I should mention first that the person currently in the Presidential Suite is—"

Tlaloc suddenly stopped, because the figure that appeared behind Novia in an instant caused the girl's pupils to shrink instantly.

They've already come out, behind him?

No, when exactly...?

In fact, at that moment, Novia had already turned around and saw the green-haired girl standing quietly behind her.

The girl raised her hand with lightning speed and pushed it toward Novia in front of her.

So the man, whom even Vritra couldn't push over with all his might, suddenly collapsed to the ground. At the same time, she straddled him, looking down at Novia, and poked Novia's heart with her finger.

The touch was not like the temperature of Humanoid creature, but rather a combination of a furry and a cold, mechanical feel.

Such behavior, such actions, and an expressionless face and eyes.

Novia had already understood the true nature of the Humanoid girl before her.

ORT the Star Eater ORT

Chapter 427 Garbled Code? Actually, It's Affection Points!

This situation is far too ambiguous.

In particular, the girl riding on Novia even poked her bare chest, her heart area, with her finger, as if she were flirting.

It also gives people the feeling that 'two people who are so close that they would entrust their lives to each other have finally reunited after many years'.

Tlaloc pressed his fist to his forehead. "Why don't you get up first and then we'll talk?"

She had just confirmed that the First Sun was indeed Tezcatlipoca herself, but how come the Second Sun's behavior was beyond her expectations? Gone was her usual indifference; she was now being so proactive... and it wasn't just a fight.

Well, the performance of the 'Second Sun' was actually within Tlaloc's expectations, but that was for Favia, not his own brother Tezcatlipoca. After all, the two are mortal enemies in mythology, so it's impossible for him to act like that. It would only be like that for 'Quetzalcoatl, the Messenger of Favia'.

But this is clearly my own brother, that's for sure. He's the only one with such 'excellent' marksmanship who also uses a gun. Could it be that everyone, including myself, has misunderstood our past relationship?

It can't be that my brother was actually...

Tlaloc began to ponder.

Tezcatlipoca once transformed into Spider and descended from the sky with a rope made of Spider, banishing Quetzalcoatl.

While playing ball with Quetzal, he transformed into the Americas, scaring away the onlookers. The crowd, blinded by fear, fell into the valley and drowned.

Quetzal was pursued from town to town, until he reached a city that worshipped the feathered Feathered Serpent as its chief god, forcing Quetzal to take refuge there for several years.

Previously, Tlaloc had thought these events were proof of discord between the two, but given the current reality of the conflict, she couldn't help but wonder if Tezcatlipoca simply wanted to tease Quetzalcoatl. As for the deeper reason, could it be...?

A subtle look of surprise and amusement flickered in the Black-Haired Girl's eyes.

"Could it be that these two are actually in a love-hate relationship?!"

At the same moment, far away in Washington, the Americas., Tezcatlipoca beneath the White House silently watched the Factory from within its assembly Factory.

As the mechanical creations flowed along the assembly line, faint shadows swept across the blond man's face.

Then he suddenly sneezed.

"... Strange? Could someone be secretly cricketing at me from behind? Could it be my lovely little sister? Or a brilliant junior? Or perhaps that incredibly stupid Bird Lord?"

As he muttered to himself, Tezcatlipoca picked up a Sniper Rifle and gently stroked it in his hand.

"While getting involved might be a waste of resources, it's still perfectly acceptable to enjoy it as a fun toy. The long spear shaft is also quite good, the power has been increased, and the improved accuracy is also commendable."

At the feet of the Tezcatlipoca lay a pile of used and discarded Pistol, while the target not far away was perfectly intact, as if it were brand new.

"This is great. Now, I'm certain I can hit the target, that's for sure."

Since deciding to trade with the India Faction, Tezcatlipoca was delighted to see one of the firearms produced from the assembly line captured on the battlefield. He resolved to no longer fight with barbaric hand axes, leopard claws, and supernatural weapons, but with more fun toys. Even his terrible skills couldn't stop his Desire to use them.

In western the Americas, outside the Presidential Suite, although Tlaloc's mind was racing, only a dozen seconds had actually passed since Novia, who had transformed into Humanoid girl and was mistaken for the Second Sun, was tackled by ORT. Novia was actually disguised as the First Sun, the Fifth Sun.

Like Tlaloc, Novia was also thinking about it.

Because he had completely shattered ORT, turning his body into countless fragments and destroying all the major systems within his body.

But this was indeed ORT, as could be seen from his seemingly expressionless face and demeanor, which were full of the air of a 'superior'. It was as if he wanted to cut open his own chest, tear his internal organs to pieces, rip off his skin and Flesh, and even rip out his heart, just like he had done before, now that he was certain of his own death...

However, Novia could also sense that ORT was not at 100% strength, but rather only one-tenth of his former self. Perhaps he was still in the process of self-repair. In any case, he was no longer the opponent that Novia had to go to great lengths to defeat as in the past.

So, in order to better communicate with ORT, who dared to face himself, Novia quickly got up.

"Give me some time; I need to speak with this Second Sun alone."

After saying that, he pulled ORT into the Presidential Suite, leaving the crowd outside looking at each other, unsure of what to say.

Ritsuka thought he was probably Novia 'Consultant old flame from the First Sun. How to put it? She had come to terms with it over the past few months, since there was nothing she could do about it, though it was tough on the Consultant himself.

Upon entering, ORT first handed the model of the Sun on the table to Novia, staring intently at him.

Novia stared at that expressionless face for a moment, then quickly sighed and started a conversation.

"Long time no see? No need for introductions, is there?"

Just as Novia was saying this, a voice came from somewhere around the girl.

"I am Feathered Serpent Quetzalcoatl, or the Wind God Kukulkan."

"For the glory of the Americas god."

Novia could tell that it was definitely a recording. The reason for this was probably that the Star Eater's language system had not been repaired yet. However, it seemed that ORT, who was originally in Spider form, had never spoken to him before, only shouting.

"I can fix this feature of yours."

Before Novia could finish speaking, ORT's eyes, which were adorned with intertwined green and gold hair, turned a ghostly green and resembled Spider eyes.

At the same time, she lay down on the ground in front of him, and the clothing that was used to cover her was also rapidly dissipating. In an instant, her chest shrank inward, and many filamentous rays of light embraced a core that emitted a blue glow, which was revealed to Novia.

Without hesitation, Novyer reached out and touched the exposed core, closed his eyes, and began the physical examination of the resurrected ORT.

Language communication function completely damaged; energy circulation system, 20%; motor output system, 9.5%; immune system, 3.2%; predation simulation system, unable to recognize; remnants of Universe rays, recognition failed; lost Supernova, self-awareness of 'the Sun'.

She also understood why ORT hadn't been destroyed: fragments of her Flesh had remained on the Sun, and Favia, who was the Sun UO at the time, had also come to an end. However, the Sun didn't do much for her; on the contrary, it provided her with some energy to repair herself until now.

Until recently, Human Order Incineration occurred, the Sun sent the unconscious ORT was still in the process of repair, to the Sea Planet Earth. The Planet itself did not express anything, and ORT accidentally bumped into something and happened to fall into the Fifth Singularity. Even more coincidentally, he encountered the Second Sun Quetzal, who had been summoned.

"ORT--! Although I'm a little bothered by this, ORT is ORT! Maybe we should have the India and us team up to deal with you first... Can't you speak properly? Really? Great, I'm so happy! It seems Little Fa really succeeded! As expected of the messenger and Sun I recognized! Speaking of which, although you have accumulated more years of experience, it seems this isn't the time to talk about that! Now that I have a cute little sister, I'm super happy!"

And so, Quetzal naturally accepted ORT, who had taken Humanoid, as his younger sister.

Afterwards, for reasons unknown, Quetzal had ORT analyze his own appearance as Servant. As a result, ORT's system naturally collected and incorporated all the information of the Throne of Heroes of Heroes. At the same time, based on the past of Gaia, its foundation, it constructed a virtual Future: "In the beginning, it was actually himself who won the Sun, but he continued to slumber afterward." Then, instinctively, it summoned himself, who was identified as a virtual Heroic Spirit, into this body.

Simply put, it was a purely Violence act of carving out a spot on the Throne of Heroes, but the Throne of Heroes has neither the means nor the means to retaliate against it.

The Second Sun may have simply thought that since she had recognized him as her sister, she should treat him well. However, the massive data stream caused her Spirit Core to shatter because it couldn't handle it. So, before disappearing, she hurriedly recorded two audio messages for ORT.

Quetzal's approach wasn't entirely ineffective; after all, ORT did go to Washington to rescue Tlaloc, who was defeated by Krishna, although he then stayed there and didn't go anywhere else, spending his days fiddling with the model of the Sun in his hands.
