Chapter 102

[Someone who sees right through you from head to toe makes you feel completely exposed, like you're wearing nothing at all, with nothing to hide...]

How would you feel?

[...]

Miss Yuzu said seriously.

I don't think I'll necessarily hate her, but I'll stay away from her.

Many people in reality nodded in agreement.

I thought of that.

I couldn't help but click my tongue slightly.

In fact, your desire to stay away from her already indicates that you are afraid of her.

[...]

The chibi version of Kiana speaks slowly and gently, as if telling a story in a leisurely manner.

Humans have an instinctive fear of the unknown, and also an instinctive fear of existences they cannot understand.

Even if you don't know the truth about Aponia, just by looking into her eyes, you'll feel a deep-seated fear, a warning from within.

[...]

Miss Yuzu nodded.

Then, something came to mind.

She continued playing the information on the screen; this time, it was a video.

The outdated format and resolution resulted in some distortion.

Those who had seen Aponia said that her eyes were more terrifying than anything else; simply looking into her eyes was enough to make one lose courage.

[...]

In Aponia's place, Elysia suddenly moved closer, standing opposite her and staring at her intently.

Elysia stood on tiptoe, opened her big eyes, and carefully looked into Aponia's eyes.

Aponia looked at her calmly, seemingly understanding something, yet also seemingly indifferent.

"What? Such beautiful eyes, how could they be scary?"

Elysia mumbled something, like a little girl complaining.

Hearing her say that, Eden, Kevin, and their friends all laughed.

And in the video footage.

The little figure of Kiana gave an explanation.

Actually, Aponia is indeed very gentle in normal times, and her eyes are indeed very kind.

[Mainly, when she meets someone, her first instinct is often to consider their future prospects.]

This is like an occupational hazard of fortune tellers.

[...]

[In that state.]

[It seems to be a higher dimension.]

[Like a cold, cruel creator looking down upon the toys he arbitrarily sculpted.]

[...]

I instinctively sensed a difference in our levels.

That's one of the main reasons why people feel that way.

[...]

She paused suddenly, then smiled.

As for the other reason, it's naturally due to the spread of misinformation.

[...]

Moreover, after she became a star goddess, whether it was those who came to worship her or those who merely glanced at her portrait...

Everyone felt that this star goddess was cold and terrifying. They spoke of strict discipline, perhaps she was like a saintly figure overlooking all living beings, judging everything, like the Sword of Damocles hanging overhead.

[It's natural that it can be somewhat frightening.]

[...]

It is said that there are gods watching from above.

If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear.

Although precepts are not something like judgment, precepts do not preclude one from doing things related to judgment.

This was revealed when the two were talking on screen.

The followers of the Star God, especially the factions, each have their own characteristics. And to some extent, they are all related to the fate of the Star God.

The destiny of the Star Gods represents the will of the Star Gods.

Although girls like Aponia and Mobius became Star Gods entirely because of Kiana's influence.

However, the conditions for becoming a Star God will indeed not be so demanding in the future, and there will be no predecessors to hinder it.

As long as one's will can be steadfastly carried out.

Actually, they are all good.

So.

The factions in Aponia are mostly composed of ascetic-like figures.

Even though they each have their own purposes, they cultivate their character and restrain themselves.

They will not give up.

"I see..."

There were think tanks, or members of the encyclopedia's editorial team, quietly highlighting the key points. Next to Aponia, there really was a sign that read 'Bodhisattva'.

Even though they truly didn't understand what each star god was pursuing.

But at least, based on a simple profile, we can draw an analogy and have a visual reference, which is still acceptable.

For example, the Kosma is based on the image of a cold, hard scientist.

Eden, on the other hand, is a wealthy woman.

Sakura is a samurai.

Ling, on the other hand, is a girl who loves to dream.

"It suddenly occurred to me that Aponia, with her great figure and beauty, who looked like a typical married woman, was not defiled in a place like Twilight Street, and even seemed to keep it a secret."

"So it's because of this ability after all?"

In the real world.

Some members of the public have become aware of this problem.

Immediately, this drew the attention of others, who looked at him with obvious understanding and agreement.

Then, some people even felt a little regretful.

"If I had known there was such a beautiful woman on Twilight Street, I would have gone to see her."

"..."

"Get him out!"

"How dare you covet the Young Lady's wife? You've got a death wish, haven't you?!"

PS1: First update delivered, two more to come, keep it up!

104. Miss Yuzu: Sister, sister, look at me OvO

At this time.

Miss UP's voice once again resonated throughout the world.

This surprised many people.

[Speaking of which, I remember it being recorded in official history.]

[It seems that Lady Aponia truly stepped onto the historical stage during the Eighth Great Honkai, right?]

"The Eighth Great Honkai?"

"Quick, take notes!"

"..."

Etc...

The fourth attempt hasn't even started yet.

The eighth time... Is it useful to write this down?

By then it'll be completely warped, won't it?!

Some people have raised questions.

Then, someone slapped him on the head.

"Are you stupid! Who cares if it's useful or not, just write it down, what's wrong with that?!"

"Oh..."

[Yes.]

As you can see.

The chibi version of Kiana nodded and said with a serious expression.

[Because the Eighth Herrscher at that time was the Herrscher of Knowledge, simply put, the Herrscher of Spirit and Consciousness.]

[...]

She can easily invade the human mind, creating dreams and illusions.

At the time, she set certain words as triggers, creating a meme-like crisis that plunged tens of millions of people into an eternal dream.

Although we eventually saved many lives, quite a few others ended up in a vegetative state.

The spirit has perished; it can never return.

[...]

Many people shuddered after just a moment's thought about it.

Isn't this just psychological attack?!

Good heavens... there are actually things like this?

Imagine that your body is still alive, but your spirit has completely disappeared.

What's this?

Are they really living dead?!

Nobody wants this.

More importantly, this explanation sounds like someone suddenly falls into a dream, making it impossible to guard against.

Wow!

At the time, as the only two Herrscher -level mental Fusion Warrior, the task of fighting against the Herrscher of Knowledge naturally fell to them.

[Besides Aponia, the other one, as you know, is Su.]

[...]

"Hmm..."

This is an open-air gathering.
