Chaos Princess / Artificial Lifeform
Perhaps it's a lack of self-confidence?
And indeed, things turned out exactly as he had guessed.
After all, if there really was a way to break her curse, Nangong Nayue would naturally have no reason to refuse.
However, she cannot fully trust Ren at the moment.
If we deceive ourselves, wouldn't that lead to disaster?
It's possible that not only will he die, but the criminals within the Prison Barrier will also riot.
Time -Itogami Island was the first to be hit.
With those guys' power, it won't be long before they destroy this island.
Snort.
Nangong Anyue made a soft sound from her nose.
Then, just like usual, she gave a slightly arrogant smile and spoke in a haughty tone.
"We'll talk about this later. Let's go. Because of your unauthorized actions, I have another guest at home."
Chapter 276 The Chaos Bride
"Wow, there's a Saintess! Did Brother Ren go to a comic convention? He went to such a fun place without taking us with him!"
After returning to Nangong Nayue's house, Nagisa Akatsuki looked at the silver-haired girl cowering behind Ren with astonishment.
Beneath the blue and white uniform was a high-necked, long-sleeved undershirt, easily reminiscent of a nun in Church.
Coupled with her translucent silver hair and the gentle aura she exuded, Nagisa Akatsuki misunderstood the other person upon first seeing her.
Aurora also stared curiously at Yase Kanon.
"Alright, kids, there's been a slight change in her family situation, so from now on she'll be living here just like you."
Nangong Nayue said calmly.
Although it felt a little awkward to be called a brat by a short, straight-haired girl, the authoritative aura emanating from her made people subconsciously believe her.
Then, Nangong Nayue offered a brief explanation, which immediately evoked great sympathy from Nagisa Akatsuki.
"Natsune-chan! Welcome, welcome! From now on, please treat this place as your own home!"
"Since it's our first time staying here, we have to celebrate properly! How about we all have a big meal together? Natsuki-chan, is the kitchen over there available? I'm planning to cook some dishes myself, but I probably can't cook too much by myself, so could you please order the rest for me? I don't know the address here yet."
In fact, Nagisa Akatsuki is also very beautiful, but compared with girls of the same age, she gives people a more childlike impression.
If I had to point out a downside, it would be that he talks too much.
Although he's a bit long-winded, he hasn't received any negative feedback so far.
"Aurora, you should help welcome Natsume-chan too!"
"Welcome to the House of Tragedy!"
This little girl was clearly still reeling from the vampire-themed cafe she'd been in during the day.
"That... that one."
Faced with enthusiastic peers, Xia Yin looked around with a timid expression.
"Thank you, thank you."
"What are you saying? Actually, Xia Yin-chan is the main character just like us today. Come on, sit down. Would you like some water or a drink? What would you like to eat tonight? I'm really good at making red chili beans with noodles with soybean paste. Can Xia Yin-chan handle spicy food?"
Nagisa Akatsuki, in a very familiar manner, grabbed Yase Kanon's wrist.
Xia Yin, who was being pulled by her, showed a restrained smile.
"Yes, you can, but only a tiny bit."
"Okay, I got it. I'll get busy now. While I'm waiting, you can play video games with Aurora. It's okay if you don't know how, we're beginners too. Come on, come on..."
Ren watched this scene unfold.
With Nagisa Akatsuki, a social butterfly, around, there's no need to worry about the girl not fitting in into the new environment.
The world exists in two opposing directions.
While Ren was enjoying himself on Itogami Island, another side of the world was beginning to stir.
In the previous world, many of the things Ren did would spread in a very short time.
Although only a few people know his true nature, the impact of his actions remains.
Moreover, unless it was a force with cooperative ties to Ren deliberately concealing some important information, some news would only spread faster.
Just like now.
As one of the few Demon Sanctuary in the world.
The events unfolding on the Gozo Island, geographically located in Europe, have also captured the attention of many.
After all, the ruins where Aurora slept were only five kilometers away from the nearest town as the crow flies.
The Number Twelve familiar summoned by the Fourth Progenitor after his awakening almost completely froze the ruins.
The intense cold even affected the temperature environment of nearby towns.
Even ordinary people know that something big has happened there, and the same is true for those forces that control the world's most advanced intelligence organizations.
The Third Night Empire: The Chaos Zone of the Empire.
This is the Vampire Empire established by the Third Progenitor Chaos Bride.
It has a vast territory in both North and South America, bordering the Confederate States of America and the North American Union.
Both countries are highly hostile to the demon race, so border clashes frequently occur.
Even so, the Chaos Zone, under the rule of the Chaos Bride, still fared smoothly in the face of two nations with powerful armies.
Strength is the most important thing.
The Chaos Bride's Capital Palace.
A young woman who looked to be around twenty years old, with long green hair that radiated a jewel-like glow, was leisurely reclining on a down chair.
After listening to the information she had gathered from her subordinates, the Chaos Bride gently put down her wine cup and let out a light, melodious laugh.
The remnants of the Black Death Emperor Faction, the death of the Death Emperor's younger brother Hazarov, the successor of the Caruana family in the War King Territory, the Fourth True Ancestor, the Witch of the Gap, the Returnee of the Netherworld, and... that man who had never appeared in the intelligence reports before.
"After all this time, the world is finally going to become interesting again."
The green-haired girl chuckled softly, two canine teeth peeking out from the corners of her mouth.
"Now that Number Twelve has broken out of his coffin, it proves that the Feast of the Crimson is not far away. After a thousand years, the Fourth True Ancestor has finally reappeared in the world. We can't afford not to go and see that old friend."
"Make preparations. Get the bodies of those individuals placed in our country ready. I will personally make a trip to Itogami Island."
The Chaos Bride revealed a powerful smile, as strong as a tiger or leopard. Her deep, emerald-green eyes, like a vast lake, gazed at the boundless sky through the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows.
Similar things also happened in the realm of the Second True Ancestor's Eye of Extinction.
The "Extinction Dynasty," which practices a feudal system, allows pure-blooded vampires with direct blood ties to the Eye of Extinction to rule different territories.
The territory ruled by Iblisveil, the ninth prince of the Extinction Dynasty, was the Gozas Region, bordering the War King Territory, making it an extremely important strategic stronghold.
Therefore, the royal city where he resided was equipped with a powerful and experienced army.
However, the army that was capable of overthrowing a small country is now littered with corpses.
Iblisveil himself was currently confronting the attackers in the castle.
"Zaharias, you dare to come before me with your filthy Beastmen! Do you yearn for hell so much?!"
Behind him was a golden jackal companion holding a scepter.
Its imposing and tall stature inspires awe.
"Even if you say so, I cannot answer, Your Highness. Please allow me to get straight to the point: I want the seventh and Number Twelve sealed here."
The man known as Zaharias was a human with a long mustache, and he was accompanied by fully armed Beastmen bodyguards.
Originally an arms dealer, he sold many weapons to the Beastmen army at a very low price in order to make a deal with Beastmen.
Chapter 277 Artificial Life Forms
"You nouveau riche, how did you manage to investigate this matter? But desires unbecoming of your status will only lead to your own destruction! Arms dealer, get out of my territory immediately, or are you planning to forcibly seize those dolls?"
Iblisveil said with a sneer.
"If this is Your Highness's wish, then we shall respectfully comply."
Zaharias's lips curled up slightly.
"What a despicable man! Smash him to pieces!"
"Iblisveil said menacingly, enraged by the arrogant attitude."
The beasts behind him transformed into flashes of light and charged towards the weapons merchant and the Beastmen.
However, a semi-transparent barrier, like a gem crystal, blocked the attacks of the familiars.
A girl with fiery golden hair and flaming eyes emerged from behind Zaharias.
The number "nine" was written in Rome script on the chest of the person wearing a pure white protective suit.
"Businessmen aren't arrogant; after all, business opportunities are constantly changing."
Zaharias looked calm.
Then two more girls with the same face as Number Nine emerged from behind him.
The labels on their protective suits were number two and number eight, respectively.
"There are three?!"
Iblisveil's expression twisted in shock.
He could handle a single familiar controlled by a puppet, but facing three at once, his fate was probably sealed.
Before he could find the answer, terrifying magic destroyed the three-headed familiar he had summoned, and the raging torrent of magic engulfed his small body, even half of the castle vanished without a trace.
The melting stone walls emitted a strong odor, and the aftershocks of the magic created a heat storm.
Zaharias looked disappointed.
He could sense that Iblisveil was not dead.
I'm sure I'll face fierce retaliation after I leave.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
After taking away the two host bodies sealed beneath the castle, he now had six host bodies at his disposal.
Six familiars of the True Ancestor level.
Unless the three True Ancestors intervene, he will undoubtedly remain invincible at the Feast of the Crimson.
Standing atop the half-damaged city wall, gazing into the distance, Zaharias muttered to himself, "The ceremony of the Feast of the Crimson is about to begin. The Number Twelve awakening is on Itogami Island...?"
On that day when undercurrents were swirling, Itogami Island remained calm and peaceful.
Waking up, Ren instinctively went to the floor next to him, but found nothing. After groping around for a while, he still couldn't find what he wanted.
He then realized that he was no longer in Kuoh Town.
Lavinia, who often raided his bed at night, was no longer there to fill the emptiness in his heart.
Lavinia, Akeno Himejima, Katerea, Shuri Himejima are gone on the first day. I miss them!
With no pretty girl by his bedside, Ren lost the desire to stay in bed.
