Afterwards, in order to escape that hellhole, she conspired with her most trusted sister, only to be betrayed and have her secrets leaked.

After being captured, Zero killed everyone in the brothel and escaped again, eventually staying with a family he knew.

Perhaps those were some of her few warm moments, but they were quickly shattered by Zero's illness and the man seeing the wanted poster about her.

Betrayal shatters all warmth and mercilessly exposes the ugliness of human nature; this applies to Zero as well.

In a desperate attempt to survive, Zero killed the man who was about to betray her, thus beginning her journey of exile and killing.

Zero's strong tendency toward self-destruction ultimately led to his capture by the guards and his death sentence.

Even so, death was not a peace. The Flower of Calamity parasitized her right eye, bringing her back to life while tormenting her with various desires.

If all the misfortunes that have befallen me are the factors that will cause me to destroy the world, then I will reject this bullshit inevitability in my own way!

So, Zero stubbornly attempted suicide time and time again, but this resulted in the birth of five Diva sisters, and the seeds of world destruction grew ever stronger.

Finally, she found a way to end her own life completely and began a campaign to hunt down her "sisters".

After successfully eliminating all the Diva, she herself was killed by a scheme orchestrated by her first sister, One.

Perhaps it was because of the end of her destiny that, after her rebirth, she completely forgot her unbearable past, which was undoubtedly a good thing for Zero.

But the person who was supposed to destroy the world ended up saving it!

A person who was never treated kindly by fate, yet used all their courage and stubbornness to draw an imperfect conclusion to their life...

At least, let me treat you gently this once, my former... savior... Zero...

Kevin's thoughts returned to his original state. He first bent down and carefully wiped away the cream residue from the corner of Ling's mouth, then smiled and asked.

"What would you like to drink? Black tea, coffee, yogurt, or perhaps the local specialty, kvass?"

One of everything!

Zero's memories of the past have long since vanished, but the intense hunger of those famine years still fills his heart.

Ah! So comfortable! No need to spend the night in the cold wind on the Siberian snowfield, no need to drink water while chewing on ice, and even the food pairings can be meticulously planned.

With this guy by her side, she didn't have to worry about anything; these three days were the most relaxing she'd ever had.

After Kevin finished tidying up everything that was in the way, he turned around and saw the aloof-looking Sister Zero on the sofa, pulling open the black ribbon at her chest and Yui slip to the floor as she stretched out her arms.

What are you doing?

The flames in the fireplace flickered violently, and Kevin felt a dry mouth; it must be from the temperature!

"Of course, we'll pay you..."

Zero approached with an air of nonchalance, her translucent skin gleaming in the reflection of the flickering flames.

The civilized era she lived in was an order modeled after Norse Mythology, where "equivalent exchange" and "the law of sacrifice" were the prevailing laws on the Midgard Continent.

Seeing Kevin instinctively step back, Zero frowned slightly.

"This is all I have, don't you like it?"

Kevin composed himself, took a deep breath, and stepped forward to embrace Zero, but made no further moves.

The commander couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness; her physical worth was all she possessed.

He is different from the person in [Quantum Sea] who can indifferently view the changes of the world and let his bloodline die.

Kevin's approach to some issues is highly emotional, which can easily influence others, and he is also easily influenced by others.

The three-minute hug left Zero somewhat confused.

At this moment, Kevin slowly released his arms, pulled over a warm blanket and wrapped it around her, smiling calmly.

"The payment has already been made, so it seems I made a good profit..."

The radiant smile before him left Zero momentarily stunned, until Kevin was about to enter the bedroom, at which point he snapped out of his daze.

Are you sure?

"If that's not enough, I'll teach you how to live in this world."

"Also, promise me you won't take your clothes off in front of others so easily; it's very impolite!"

"Besides, you're not that cheap!"

Kevin responded through gritted teeth, then slammed the bedroom door shut with great courage.

This man is really interesting...

Zero gently stroked the Abyss Flower that had sprouted from her right eye, her cherry lips curving into a smile.

P. S.: I need to eat first. There's a chapter that seems to be 2260 words long. If there are any errors or missing characters, I suggest deleting it before downloading.

Chapter 328, Section 345: Find a way to rob her! (Second Update)

As night fell, a furtive figure crept into the hall. After placing something on the table, he quietly opened the door a crack and cautiously squeezed out.

Snowflakes were falling heavily on the streets, and the weather was bitterly cold, especially when Kevin saw Zero standing on the rooftop with a playful, cat-and-mouse look in his eyes.

Inside, the lights were on, the fireplace was lit again, and a dejected Kevin was busy drying Zero's silver hair, while also teaching her how to use the dryer.

But this lazy woman, finding the task too troublesome, simply ripped off her clothes, which were soaked with snowflakes, and threw them at Kevin's head.

This... still has warmth... original flavor...

Kevin, carrying several pieces of cloth, looked dark-skinned, but after seeing the woman who had changed into her pajamas and sat on the sofa, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

Ten minutes later, the commander, having composed himself, poured each of them a glass of hot milk and prepared some refreshments, placing them on the table.

"Looks like you've rested enough? Then take me to find those 'good sisters'."

Zero took the cup, took a small sip, and smiled warmly.

Because she was hit in the face by a small nuclear bomb in the East Siberian Sea, her physical condition has not recovered to its peak, and therefore she gradually fell into a disadvantageous position in her duel with Ouma Mana.

Fortunately, the man's escape distracted the woman from fighting, and she began frantically searching every inch of the nearby land.

This time, Zero was very lucky. He just randomly found a deserted village to catch his breath and picked up this guy.

As the previous generation's Herrscher, Zero could maintain absolute self-control before the Flower of Calamity fully bloomed, and had no interest in playing any game of punishing the world or carrying out God's will.

At most, she would kill all those "cute" "girlfriends" one by one, then continue to live a carefree life for a few more years until the Flower of Calamity was about to fully bloom, at which point she would commit suicide.

"You mean the YoRHa Unit? The robots who kidnapped the other five Diva? I don't know them..."

Kevin's eyes darted around, and he changed the subject.

But when the cold Tactical Sword touched his Adam's apple, the commander obediently shut his mouth.

With a casual wave of her hand, Ling flung the door open, letting in howling wind and snow. Her almost transparent pajamas fluttered, creating a hazy, ethereal beauty.

"Could I use the restroom before we leave?"

"You've used excuses like 'I'm worried about the wind during the flight,' 'I need to change clothes on the way,' and 'I need to rest in the city' at least 20 times..."

"Those girls in the jars, if they wake up, they might eat people..."

"If you continue to condone and protect them, all you'll see in the end are corpses everywhere..."

"Their existence only corrupts this world, and so do I, so don't try to be close to them or try to keep them here..."

Seeing that his servant was not behaving properly, Zero, who rarely had any free time, spoke up to explain.

Traveling through the snowy night, huh? Serves you right for being so reckless!

Kevin recalled the Honkai Beast of Honkai Beasts outside and felt a headache coming on. He had tried to run there seven or eight times, but had failed each time.

As they drew ever closer to the legendary B-17 military fortress that sheltered refugees, the commander grew increasingly anxious.

"Hey, what did you leave for me? What's this?"

Ling's gaze fell upon the metal box, about half the size of an eight-chapter, on the table, and she asked curiously.

"My Nano Tactical Wristwatch —how to use it is all written on paper. It also contains some songs I've downloaded or am currently making. It's a good pastime if you're alone..."

Kevin responded irritably, then slipped the watch onto Zero's slender arm and began to show her how to use it.

When he held Zero's fingertips and pressed play, a gentle, flowing sound filled the warm room.

The night rippled on the water

The tranquil silence is heartbreaking.

The riverbank shaded by green trees

A magnificent dawn

Just wait patiently

With a pure heart

The opposite shore under a gloomy sea and sky

There is a fertile land where there is no strife...

As the song ended, Kevin smacked his lips with lingering enjoyment. "Miku could probably imitate 70-80% of 'Proof of Water,' but that girl was too lively; it felt like it lacked soul..."

"Hmph! A lie embellished, a boring fantasy!"

Zero scoffed at this, but his reaction was quite professional; he roughly snatched Kevin's watch with his right hand and started playing with it himself.

"Actually, I think you Diva could learn more about the music of this era; don't waste such beautiful voices..."

"Furthermore, the composer and lyricist are right in front of you, isn't that surprising?"

Kevin's expression softened somewhat as he continued to instill the idea that "this is a good civilization" into her mind, while shamelessly boasting about it.

Zero rolled her eyes in disbelief, but the collection of songs on the watch did indeed pique her interest.

This young girl, who once struggled against fate and had almost no entertainment, leaned against the sofa, put on her headphones, and listened to different styles of music.

After Schubert's "Lullaby" was played several times, the gentle and soothing music lulled Ling, whose nerves were on edge, into a dream.

In her sleep, the girl, who lacked a sense of security, curled up into a ball, sucking her thumb like a baby. Her aloof face, hidden by her hair, revealed a hint of cuteness and innocence.

As Zero's left hand clasped haphazardly, it gripped Kevin's outstretched fingers tightly and pressed them against her chest, causing the slight unease between the girl's brows to gradually dissipate.

After glancing towards the door several times, Kevin finally pulled over a stool, sat down in front of the sofa, and gently covered Zero with a blanket.

Sure enough, she still couldn't let it go. She rarely got a good night's sleep, so she decided to give in and not make a fuss.

The lights went out, the fire crackled softly, and the Honkai Beast outside the city fled far away because of the terrifying aura emanating from Zero.

Bored out of his mind, Kevin stared blankly at the Flower of Calamity in the girl's pupils.

Out of curiosity, he reached out his right hand and gently touched the flower's stamen, causing Ling to twist her body and shrink closer to that warm embrace once again.

The commander, gazing at Zero clinging to him like a koala, simply leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to daydream.

The Flower of Calamity, huh? It should be something like Herrscher Core. The blood of the Saintess of the Sanyate family, doesn't it have the effect of erasing Honkai energy? Maybe we could borrow some and try.

Furthermore, research on Anti-Entropy -Honkai inhibitors has made general progress. Should I try and take advantage of my future father-in-law?

In short, these singers who can maintain their self-awareness for a long time without collapsing are a powerful resource. If we can find a way to solve the problem of the Flower of Calamity, we should recruit them.

Even if they were to declare war on that "god" on the moon, they might not be able to put up a fight.

But how should he tell Siegfried's wife Cecilia?

Donate 200cc of blood to earn the achievement: "Ancestor's" Favorability +50?

Or are you saying that once I've built up my alt account, I'll take care of both that daughter-ruining Siegfried and that future-growing-as-a-single-celled Paramecium, Kiana?

Kevin's mind wandered, his eyelids grew heavy, and a strange smile unconsciously appeared on his lips before he fell asleep.

Judging by the time, the Snow Wolf Squad should be arriving soon. Perhaps we should think of a way to pull off a heist...

Scamming people, that's something I'm good at...

Chapter 329 (Section 346) - The Refugee Nun and the Illegitimate Child (Third Update)

In the early hours of the morning, a loud rumbling sound came from afar, and wave after wave of tremors shook the family inside the house. Kevin was awakened from his sleep and instinctively tried to pull Zero out of the house.
