Tian Tong Mu had never considered this, or rather, in her opinion, the Tian Tong family was powerful and had a stable position, so there would be no accidents.
If she had been more open-minded, she wouldn't need revenge.
Tendo Kikunosuke is already very old. When he dies of old age, other members of the Tendo family will most likely die in political struggles.
Tendo Kisaragi's father reported the Tendo family, and in order to maintain their own status, the members of the Tendo family eventually killed Tendo Kisaragi's father.
Looking at these people who killed their relatives and friends in order to maintain their status and eventually died in political struggles, in the eyes of some heartless people, this can be considered revenge.
Either you take it easy, or you throw yourself into revenge with all your might and get it with your own hands.
But Tiantong Mugen has none of those.
——After all, it was her first time wanting revenge, so it was normal that she was not mentally prepared.
So much so that now, her heart is full of confusion.
revenge?
All the enemies are dead.
Is she contented?
Of course not.
Then let her hate Su Qing who killed all her enemies?
She couldn't do it, not only with force, but also because she wasn't yet so extreme as to say, "Whoever kills my enemy is my enemy, and I have to take revenge on my own."
Tian Tong Mu took a deeper breath, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out two words after a long while: "...Thank you."
Su Qing shook his head and laughed, "I can't tell that this is an attitude of gratitude."
"——Thank you for helping me get revenge."
As Tendou Kimura spoke, she felt sad... This was obviously the truth, but she felt inexplicably unhappy.
Su Qing asked, "Are you feeling sad?"
Tendou Kisara: “…”
Can you please stop poking me where it hurts?
Su Qing shrugged and said, "Change your thinking... If I take a fancy to you and help you kill everyone in the Tiantong family, will you accept it?"
Tendou Kisara's eyes moved slightly, and he sighed, "Is that so?"
"No." Su Qing spread his hands.
Su Qing shrugged: "Just think of it as me wanting Rentaro Satomi dead because I like you, and that's why I killed all the people in the Tendo family. This way, you will feel more or less involved."
The corner of Tendo Kimura's mouth twitched slightly.
Su Qing continued, "Or, to put it another way, just think of it as you knew of my existence, and after going through so much hardship, you finally met me, and after your desperate pleading, I helped you get revenge... Wouldn't that make you feel better?"
Tendouki was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "It seems to be true."
If there is such an opportunity for revenge, she is certainly willing to pay everything for it.
By then, knowing that all her enemies are dead, she should feel only satisfaction.
Now she didn't pay any price and all her enemies were dead. This was a good thing no matter how you looked at it...but why couldn't she accept it in her heart?
Su Qing shrugged, the little girl was just too pretentious.
"Nothing in the world is as perfect as one would like. Maybe everything has gone your way. If you can't figure it out, go back to Tokyo and figure it out."
Su Qing tapped Tendo Mugen's forehead.
"Yes."
Not caring about the upcoming attack on Tokyo in Phase Five, Tendo Mu answered reflexively, covering his red forehead.
She followed Su Qing until they reached the coverage area of the giant stone tablet and separated. Tiantong Mugen was a little confused.
Su Qing looked at Tendou Mugen and frowned slightly.
...really no reaction at all?
He was still waiting for Tendo Kimura to mention Rentaro Satomi. Not long ago, when faced with the choice between revenge and Rentaro Satomi's life, she chose Rentaro Satomi.
But halfway through the conversation, Tendou Kimura began to doubt his life after hearing what Kikunosuke revealed, and he drew his knife and slashed at his grandfather.
Now that her enemies were dead, shouldn't she ask whether her choice not long ago was effective? Can Rentaro survive?
The death of Rentaro Satomi does not necessarily mean that the world's favor does not exist. It may also be that the power of favor is limited and his strength exceeds the standard of this world.
Even though Tendou Bokugen's mind is a little confused now, why not at least ask?
She herself might not have thought of it, and it was normal for her to forget that part because the blow was too great for a moment, but if there was an external force that wanted Rentaro Satomi to survive, such as the world's favor, Tendo Kimura would definitely have thought of this by now.
Su Qing nodded slightly. Maybe world consciousness really didn’t exist. The characters in the original novel were just ordinary people, without the halo of the protagonist.
Although he felt from the beginning that such a thing did not exist in reality, it was a good thing to be able to verify this guess.
Su Qing shook his head slightly and looked towards Stage Five not far away.
Next, he just had to wait for the Holy Emperor to give him a signal.
Chapter 41 Prayer
"Everyone in Tokyo."
"I am here."
Wearing a white dress that looked like a wedding gown, the Holy Emperor spoke calmly.
At this moment, the face of the Holy Emperor instantly filled the entire Tokyo.
This scene was played on the big screen, all TV channels, web page pop-ups, and almost all electronic devices under the power of the authorities.
The Holy Emperor was in the center, clenching his fingers tightly, trying his best to maintain superficial calm.
"There is news that a stage five gastrula named Scorpio is moving towards the Tokyo area. I am here to clarify..."
At this moment, almost all Tokyo residents were concerned and stopped their looting and shopping. The news of Phase Five spread throughout Tokyo in no time, but what if it was just a rumor?
"…That's not a rumor. Scorpio is expected to arrive in Tokyo in ten minutes."
The Holy Emperor waved his hand, and the image of Scorpio appeared on the screen behind him. A military helicopter was flying over Scorpio, observing its whereabouts and sending back signals.
Tokyo people: “…”
You just clarified the loneliness.
But some smart Tokyo residents quietly relaxed a little.
Judging from the scenery around the live broadcast, His Majesty the Holy Emperor is in Tokyo, in Saint Curie.
If there is no means to deal with Phase Five, even if the Holy Emperor wants to stay and live and die with Tokyo, the 'loyal' ministers will force her to board the plane.
Going to Kyushu, or to the other four regions on the island...this is nothing new.
Over the past thousand years, the island nation's royal family has been bullied by the shogunate for much longer than they have held real power. However, as shogunates disappeared one after another, the royal family remained.
Going to the other four regions as a mascot was not something that the royal family could not accept. At least before the island country was truly unified, the card of the Holy Emperor was extremely precious in the eyes of other forces.
That is the 'orthodoxy' of the island nation that has lasted for more than a thousand years.
Before the unification of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei would not have attacked Emperor Xian of Han, right?
If it was just the Saint Emperor's live broadcast, it would be hard to judge. The Saint Emperor might have recorded the video and ran away, but with Scorpio on the same screen, it couldn't be a lie.
The Holy Emperor didn't run away, which means Tokyo must have a countermeasure to deal with Scorpio.
The Holy Emperor continued.
"Ten years ago, the protostomes appeared and forced everyone into a desperate situation. I'm sure you all suffered from the protostomes, and had your relatives, friends, and loved ones taken away by them."
“We are the same.”
"I also had relatives taken away by gastrula, so I can understand your feelings."
The Holy Emperor felt a little guilty, and she could understand his loneliness.
The island nation's royal family was indeed in a state of decline, but that was during the Guernala War, when she was only six years old.
When she was a little older, two generations of Holy Emperors died before her, one of whom was her mother, but she was assassinated. The leader of the Tokyo District did not die from a gastrula.
"The protogastrics are the sin and test of mankind, and are the divine punishment given to mankind by the world."
The enterovirus developed by humans spread into nature, and too many animals were transformed into enteroviruses. The Holy Emperor felt that the people who decided to release the enterovirus might not have thought of this.
After mixing the genes of multiple organisms, the protostomes not only did not suffer genetic collapse, but instead relied on their tenacious self-healing ability to transform into countless stage fours.
According to the data from the laboratory confiscated in Tokyo, because there is not so much base number, after evolving to a certain level, the protogastric animals will directly undergo genetic collapse. The ones that do not collapse are only exceptions - such as the twelve stage fives.
But when the virus was released into the atmosphere, a large number of stage fours appeared among the countless biological bases.
Each stage four creature has fused countless gene fragments, and there is no sign of a completed biological state in its body. It is not biologically valid at all, and it is only holding on by relying on its extreme recovery ability.
Stage five all comes from the laboratory, and control is impossible, but the laboratory can actually barely limit it, similar to the legacy of the seven stars to Scorpio.
In stage three and below, the army can resolve the situation with one round of artillery fire.
Those who plan to release the enterovirus are not crazy. They want to benefit and make money for the whole world. They are not crazy enough to destroy the human world.
But the emergence of stage four has magnified the disaster of the protostomes countless times - just like the Black Organization to aptx4869, when the organization used drug A as poison, they did not expect that this thing could also make people rejuvenate and become children.
The Holy Emperor said: "But the children are innocent."
The Tokyo people were stunned.
I know you've been fighting for the rights of the Cursed Child, but what's this time of year, and you're still talking about this?
Isn’t it a little... not so appropriate?
The Holy Emperor said loudly.
"Protocolates are the sin and test of mankind, but children are gifts from God to mankind and are the new saviors of the world."
