Chapter 206

But it made Nahida feel as if she were in the dead of winter.

A bone-chilling cold.

If it were from the beginning, when it came to Buer, she could have confidently declared that she was indeed her!

But now, she can't bring herself to say it.

She knew.

This "Buer" is not referring to himself.

If it's not myself, then who is it?

Who am I...?

Similarly.

Kiana was too lazy to bully Furina.

He also said that to her.

"Fontaine's sins, the destruction of the Water God's throne, including the Hydro Dragon King's affairs..."

"Let Focalors pay for it himself."

"..."

Furina hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

Although I'm happy that Focalors can be resurrected, I can't help but worry about the fact that Focalors is already dead and will be dragged out for trial.

Although she was terrified, she did consider speaking up herself; perhaps then Focalors wouldn't be punished.

But she discovered that she couldn't speak at all.

Kiana directly deprived her of the right to bargain.

Then.

He looked at Marivik.

"Yes, Marivik, you are the only ruler I am happy with."

"Not a demon god, yet willingly leaving behind family and friends, entering a deep slumber, and reviving five hundred years later. All this was to fight against the abyss and save Nata."

"I... am very pleased."

"..."

The other ruling parties, while aware that Nata was in a rather dire situation, only now learned the specifics of what Fire God had done.

It's astonishing that a human being possesses such courage.

This is truly rare!

In contrast, some demons and gods have made a complete mess of things.

Isn't this a kind of irony?

"Lord Tenri, this is what I should do." Marivik said humbly, without taking credit for it.

Kiana shook her head slightly and spoke to herself.

"As a reward, I bestow upon you the Primal Fragment. From this day forward, you are the Demon God, with the divine name Phoenix."

PS1: Third update delivered. More tomorrow, keep it up!

201. Marivik: I'm so happy, everyone!

"Lord Tenri..." Marivik seemed to want to politely decline.

But without further ado, Kiana's tone became stern.

"I'm giving an announcement, not discussing it, understand?"

"What's yours is yours, and what's not yours, you can't take it even if you try."

"..."

"I admire you, so from now on, you are the true Ruler of Pyro your Nata. Don't let me down."

Don't be fooled by Kiana's seemingly calm demeanor.

The more she acted this way, the less the Seven Gods dared to offend her.

The previous Constraint Domain was deterrence.

After a big stick.

Even sweet dates make you shiver.

Barbatos and Morax felt they hadn't seen justice in a long time, and now justice was more powerful, more humane, and also more difficult to please.

One moment they were joking, the next they were radiating pressure.

Marivik nearly fainted.

In the end, nothing more was said.

But.

Kiana's thoughts were quite simple.

Rewards and punishments are clearly defined.

If someone like Marivik isn't rewarded handsomely, then what kind of leader is she?

Even though she oppressed the Seven Gods like a slave owner, the Seven Gods dared not complain.

But justice is justice, and she is herself.

If she likes it this way, then so be it.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Marivik.

"In addition."

Marivik's heart jumped into her throat.

"Your parents, your sister, I will also be resurrected. Just balance work and life."

"Yes! Lord Tenri!" Marivik was delighted.

She doesn't care whether she becomes a true god or not.

But she definitely cares about her relatives from 500 years ago.

Their support has made her who she is today, and she always feels guilty towards them.

"As for you... Barnabas."

At last.

Finally, it's time for the Winter Empress's turn.

Her heart was completely unmoved, and she let Kiana decide her fate.

In fact!

No matter how you look at it, the Winter Empress has the biggest problem.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were utterly wicked.

But!

Looking at the Winter Empress's face, which looked like a Big Duck Duck.

She softened again.

No matter how soft-hearted she was, she couldn't get Furina, Nahida, or the people from Raiden Ei crew to make changes on their own.

Without a sufficient reason, it simply doesn't make sense.

"I will disband the Fatui." Barnabas did not make things difficult for Kiana.

She knew that Kiana only felt a tiny bit of pity, and if she didn't seize the opportunity to make Kiana the final judge, no one knew what would happen.

She wanted to make one last attempt.

"Not enough." Kiana's heart only softened for a moment.

She shook her head slightly.

"I will personally judge each Fatui," Barnabas continued.

"That's not enough either," Kiana shook her head.

Everything Zhi Dong did deserves her serious attention.

While other countries serve small side dishes, this is the real main course.

She will not give in because of momentary feelings.

Because she knew that she was just Takeover someone else, and not the real Phanes.

He turned back and went back on his own, Phanes recovered.

If his judgment is not severe enough, even if she doesn't change anything too much out of consideration for him, she will definitely not let them off the hook.

So!

Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine.

Making the original ruling party apologize is merely giving them a chance.

If they harbor wishful thinking and are not ruthless enough.

Kiana will help them be ruthless.

Otherwise, they would be facing Phanes. Miss Tenri wouldn't show any mercy.

"After you return, disband the group until winter, and then issue a decree of self-reproach to the entire continent."

Kiana gazed at Barnabas.

"Afterwards, the hearts of the gods of each country will be returned."

"Then, take your divine heart and confine yourself to Celestia."

"..."

"Since you're restless in power, you should stay on Celestia and work on the Ley Line."

"With Asmodeus."

"..."

Barnabas hesitated for a moment, then kowtowed several times heavily.

"Barnabas, as you command."

It was merciful enough to simply disband the organization until winter, rather than to throw a nail down.

Even when he committed a serious mistake, he was not killed outright.

This is truly incredible.

But regardless, they survived.

In fact, this punishment caused Barnabas even more pain.

The pain was so intense that I could hardly breathe.

It's like killing someone by destroying their spirit.

Their rule undoubtedly stemmed from their love for their people.

What was the purpose of the Winter Empress's schemes that lasted for hundreds of years?

Isn't it all for the sake of his own people?

Now, it's easy to imagine.

What will happen to Zhidong after it disbands?

Barnabas, who has issued a decree of self-reproach and is under house arrest on Celestia... what will happen next?

Even though the rest of the ruling party had no other ideas.
