Chapter 161

As a result, the Old Heavenly Master also had to spare some attention to protect Ayao in his hands, which made the task incredibly difficult—

"Little sister!"

A frantic shout startled the Old Heavenly Master.

Subconsciously turning his head, he saw a woman with white hair and purple eyes, whose appearance was almost identical to that of Na Xi, rushing towards him in a hurry. Her speed was so fast that even the dragon tail behind her could not catch up with her.

"The ninth son of the Sui family? Who sent you here!"

The Old Heavenly Master glanced at it and spoke in a slightly urgent tone.

As she had described, this woman was named 'Nian', the ninth of the twelve fragments, and one of Xi's sisters.

The power of the year is 'form'. Heaven has a great furnace, and earth produces five metals, forging all things.

The Year Beast gained domain-like abilities after devouring a Sunset. If it were to devour a Year Beast, it would gain attack methods as well.

However, after his angry outburst, the Old Heavenly Master paused for a moment, then decisively threw the Ayao in his hand directly at Nian: "Ninth son of the Sui family! Take that little thing and get out of here! The farther the better!"

Upon seeing this, Nian immediately reached out and caught Ayao, who was flying towards her in an arc with a scream of pain.

"Little sister?! Little sister, you... um?"

Nian was initially very anxious, but when she received the Ayao, she paused, frowned, and showed a puzzled expression.

It was as if she were saying, 'Are you really my youngest sister?'

However, after seeing Ayao's bewildered "ga" sound, Nian came to his senses and immediately said, "Little sister, are you alright? Little sister, say something!"

"Gah..."

"Huh? Little sister, you can't even speak anymore? It's okay! Little sister, you wait, even if you turn into this little brat, I'll still raise you from infancy with my own hands and feet!"

"Gah???"

Nian ignored A Ayao's bewilderment, and after speaking, picked A Ayao up and ran away.

Chapter 245 Amiya's Ultimate Evolution, Demon King Rabbit Beast

"Oh, they've started fighting."

Chen Ran was naturally observing the progress of this Worldline.

Seeing that the Old Heavenly Master and the Year Beast had successfully started fighting, Chen Ran turned his head to look at Xi, which he was holding in his palm, and said:

"Speaking of Little Watermelon, when I pulled you out just now, I also discovered that although you have a physical Little Watermelon in my hands, you seem to be in a state of absolute death, Little Watermelon, within these planet models."

Xi was still sitting upright in Chen Ran's palm,

When he heard that year say, "I will raise you from infancy, raising you with my own hands and feet," his face darkened.

Hearing Chen Ran still teasing her, Xi's face darkened even more.

"So be it if I die." Xi snorted, perhaps out of spite. "I don't care much about personal life and death. If I die, the painting will still exist, and the spirit of the brush will still exist. That's enough."

"It's not that bad," Chen Ran said. "There are still quite a few ways to revive, whether it's rebuilding a body or resurrecting a dead body. At worst, I'll just raise you, Little Watermelon, all over again."

"Wait...?"

Yumoto maintained an indifferent attitude, but as she listened, she felt increasingly uneasy. "What do you mean you want to raise me again? How will you raise me? You lecherous scoundrel, you can't possibly... really want me to become Ayao, can you?"

Xi immediately became alert, as if she was truly afraid that Chen Ran would do something so absurd.

But when Xi looked over with such a wary gaze, she saw that Chen Ran had already turned his head to look behind him and said, "Speaking of which, does anyone want to go and have some fun? Show off your skills in front of others or something."

"Not interested."

A lazy voice came from behind Chen Ran.

Wishdale wasn't interested; the two Skadi were only interested in Sea Creatures; Mylnar wasn't there; and Kal'tsit was too busy.

Therefore, under such circumstances—

"Hmm... Brother, let me do it?"

Demon King Rabbit with Black Crown on its head floated over from a distance.

Although the Demon King Rabbit wasn't particularly interested in the so-called 'manifestation in front of people,' she was extremely adept at eliminating pests.

"Little Rabbit, you are?" Chen Ran laughed when he saw this. "Alright, 'giving Kal'tsit a little shock as Demon King Rabbit's is a must-have program in every Worldline."

Nian grabbed Ayao and ran wildly all the way.

However, she hadn't run far when she bumped into one of her twelve brothers and sisters.

That was her second brother, Wang.

It's hard to imagine that such a terrible chess player could have such a wide range of expressions on his face.

Wang initially greeted the visit with a tense, uneasy, and even expectant expression.

If... if Xi could really be resurrected

Does that mean that Jie... Jie can also be resurrected?

With such hope, when they arrived and were able to see with their own eyes the baby Ayao being held in Nian's arms,

His expression shifted from sunny to cloudy, becoming a jumble of incomprehension, disappointment, lamentation, and indignation.

For the time being, let's set aside whether they could even tell whether it was just an ordinary Ayao or truly their youngest sister—

This Ayao looks like he has the intelligence of a three-year-old child, with clear eyes, yet he is foolish.

It has only the form, but no substance, no memory, and even an extremely low IQ.

Can this really be considered a resurrection?

"Hey! Hey hey hey! Second brother, don't come any closer! I... I won't give it to you..."

Seeing the change in Wang's expression, Nian quickly hugged Ayao tighter, as if afraid that Wang would take her away.

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to raise it myself."

Nian hugged Ayao and took a few steps back. Seeing that Wang didn't chase after them, Nian said, "I'll keep telling it 'Oh, I love Nian-jiejie the most' every day. -- Oh right, what should I feed this little thing? Milk powder? But I don't have any... Will it drink chili powder mixed with water?"

"If the millet hears you, it might hit you, okay?"

The space around her solidified, and a woman with blue hair and blue eyes appeared beside her. "Is this Little Mo Tou? Let me see."

"No way! Even if it's you, sister, I won't give it to you!"

It seemed that Nian had already made up her mind that she would take care of Ayao, and she wouldn't give it to anyone else, not even their eldest sister's order.

Ling was helpless upon hearing this, but he didn't press the matter, since Wang Ke was watching from the side.

Just as he turned his head, about to say hello, he heard another 'click-clack' sound coming from the sky.

Everyone instinctively looked up and saw the enormous hand belonging to the gods once again reaching out from the sky.

At that moment, the expression on Wang's face changed again.

Because that giant hand grabbed Xi last time it fell, so what about this time? Will it grab Jie this time?

But no.

The enormous hand reached out towards Rhodes Island, located on the border between Higashi and Ursus.

Initially, when the people of Terra heard that the Year Beast had resurrected and was wreaking havoc on the Higashi, almost all the countries treated the matter with a spectator's mentality.

But when the gods appeared in the world, the mentality of these countries immediately changed—

At the very least, they wanted to see what was going on with that Ayao.

However, among them, there are naturally those who don't care at all about Ayao, licking, or gnawing.

Kal'tsit in this Worldline is one of them.

Kal'tsit's reaction to the so-called 'divine intervention' is exactly the same in almost every Worldline, which is really nothing new.

So, Chen Ran gave her a job.

The sky shattered once more, and the enormous hand descended again, this time heading straight for Rhodes Island.

Before Kal'tsit in this Worldline could even react, the enormous hand precisely grabbed Amiya from this Worldline and carried her away from the surface.

"Huh...?! Wait, wait a minute! Why are you grabbing me?"

Amiya in this Worldline had absolutely no idea why that giant hand was grabbing her.

But she only had time to say those words before the giant hand grabbed her and took her away.

Amiya!

Kal'tsit from this Worldline immediately gave chase from Rhodes Island, but to no avail.

She could only watch helplessly as Amiya was taken away, and then the enormous hand reached down, opened its palm, and gently placed something on the ground.

Because of the previous incident where it was captured but was returned as an Ayao,

Kal'tsit was even mentally prepared for Amiya to be captured, only to be returned with a plush Little Rabbit.

But when that giant hand opened, what appeared before everyone's eyes was still Amiya.

But Amiya's face showed no trace of childlike tenderness; instead, her expression was cold and her eyes indifferent. The Black Crown on her head further deterred others from making any rash moves.

"... Amiya?"

This magical girl, who usually talks about friendship and bonds, is defeated and captured, but when they meet again, she has been brainwashed and transformed into a newly promoted villainous executive.

Even Kal'tsit from this Worldline couldn't help but ask with a tone of probing and doubt.

Chapter 246 Demon King Rabbit: Anyway, let's pack this Year Beast up as takeout and send it to my brother.

If it had been Precise or Theresia who had called out to her, the Demon King Rabbit's gaze would surely have softened a bit.

After all, in her own History-Building Worldline, one person gifted her the Black Crown, and another granted her authority.

It can be said that these two people gave her a second life, which allowed her to meet her current 'brother' Chen Ran.

But Kal'tsit? Sorry, who are you? We don't know each other at all.

In the History-Building Worldline where the Demon King Rabbit is located, she truly never met Kal'tsit.

After all, Kazdel was already gone by then, and Kal'tsit was probably busy with her revival match.

Therefore, when Kal'tsit called out in this Worldline, the Demon King Rabbit merely glanced at her with an indifferent look.

At most, she might wonder how many Kai cats she's encountered now, following normal cats, Savior Cat, and Lost Cat.

Does her 'brother' really not a cat collector?

But it's clear that in this Worldline, Kal'tsit was deeply hurt by the Demon King Rabbit's gaze.

Kal'tsit is not cold-blooded or heartless; she possesses rich emotions just like a normal person. It's just that she has lived a long time and learned to restrain herself and become numb.

The last time Kal'tsit showed such a clear change in expression was when she witnessed Yu's 'resurrection' and 'rebirth'.

Like her second brother Wang, she was also hoping that Theresia could be resurrected in the same way.

But when her familiar Little Rabbit Amiya, her sister, the pet she'd raised for so long, looked at her with the eyes of a stranger—

Kal'tsit couldn't help but widen her eyes, revealing an expression of disbelief and unwillingness to believe.

But the Demon King Rabbit didn't care about any of that; she was just there to work. Her brother had even prepared her favorite little cakes for her to eat when she got back after she finished her work.

So the Demon King Rabbit didn't care about Kal'tsit's reaction at all. She simply tiptoed and lifted herself off the ground, floating into the air.

Then they found the direction of Higashi and flew directly there.

Although it seemed like a cry of "Amiya —!!!" came from behind...

But who cares?

Although geographically, the Higashi and Ursus are neighboring countries, their actual territories are extremely far apart.

Fortunately, the Demon King Rabbit was quite fast, and it didn't keep the Higashi army in a difficult position for long before it flew straight over.

"They're here! The reinforcements are here!"

"Is she the second person, after Ji Xi, to be captured and then released by that 'god'?"

"Wait... why can she fly?"
