CHAPTER 136 - GET OUT OF THE BATTLEFIELD IMMEDIATELY [BONUS CHAPTER 1/5]

"That's it?" Ren was speechless.

He saw the Black Serpent's death line in Talulah's head. He had wanted to study the gods of the Terra Continent.

Whether the so-called immortality of gods would touch upon laws or something.

But he didn't expect that with just one strike, after the death line was cut, the immortal Black Serpent, or rather Kashchey, was killed from the very foundation of this world.

Damn it. This guy was neither a god nor some will of Ursus. He was just a person, an immortal, an immortal with special Originium Arts.

Disappointment. Utter disappointment.

He boasted himself as the will of Ursus, but in reality, he was just an Ursus Duke, a loyal dog of Ursus.

"Sigh." He pulled out the dagger in exasperation and handed it to ACE.

There was no blood on the dagger, nor were there any wounds on Talulah's head.

"I... Where am I..."

As the dagger was removed, Talulah's vacant eyes regained their luster. Her mouth could move and speak.

At least she was truly fine.

Seeing that Talulah was fine, the King Killer stopped struggling. She also realized that struggling was meaningless.

Just now, after a flurry of punches and kicks, Ren had no reaction at all.

*****

"Ah ah ah!"

The briefly confused Talulah suddenly clutched her head and knelt on the ground, wailing in pain.

She frantically pounded her head with her hands. Fragments of memory all surged into her brain at once, piecing together complete recollections.

She saw everything that happened after Alina died.

Her heart twitched. Her eyes trembled. Her whole body shivered.

What... what had she done!

She had fallen into Kashchey's trap in her insane obsession. She had become a chess piece for him to carry out his evil schemes.

I... betrayed Alina. I... betrayed the Infected. I... betrayed the Reunion Movement.

I... personally pushed the Infected into another abyss.

Talulah covered her face with her hands, trying to escape. With hands stained with blood... I should die here.

Die in this city of sin created by my own hands. She had fallen into a cycle of sin and death.

Ren didn't really want to bother with her. His mission was complete.

Unfortunately, there was no Doom Companion, so there was no reward for dealing with a natural disaster.

*****

"I am Patriot. She is the leader of the Reunion Movement."

Patriot and FrostNova walked over. Without the Shield Guards and Yeti Squad following them, they must have come with sincerity.

Although the Rhodes Island personnel were vigilant, they did not stop them.

"I killed the Black Serpent Kashchey in her head. Now she should have regained her sanity and is afraid to face what she has done."

"You mean Talulah was controlled by someone else?" FrostNova initially found it hard to believe.

But upon careful consideration of Talulah's changes... compared to before, the current Talulah was like two different people. This was indeed baffling.

"The immortal Black Serpent, Kashchey, the evil god of Ursus, I know." Patriot glanced at Talulah.

"It was that Black Serpent. Now he is dead, and Talulah has recovered."

Ren spread his hands, "Your grievances with Rhodes Island have nothing to do with me. I'm only responsible for ensuring the safety of Exusiai and her friend. If you want to fight, you can continue."

"No, the Black Serpent's conspiracy, we cannot comply with it."

Patriot looked at Amiya: "Rhodes Island's leader, what do you think should be done?"

Amiya lowered her eyes, compassion and questioning arising from her heart: "I believe peace cannot be achieved solely through riots. I want to know if the Reunion Movement will stop persecuting Chernobog."

*****

FrostNova looked directly at Amiya: "We did not persecute Chernobog. We just want to fight for the rights of the Infected."

"Unforgivable!" A battle-axe swung towards FrostNova's head. It was Sonia's battle-axe. She roared in anger.

Completely enraged by FrostNova's words just now.

Crack! Crack!! Ice blocked the trajectory of the battle-axe.

FrostNova frowned tightly: "What do you want to express?"

Sonia's knuckles, gripping the axe handle, creaked, and her eyes widened in fury: "Are you trying to deny the persecution of Chernobog with just one sentence? Do you know how many people you killed?!"

FrostNova tried to explain, "We didn't..."

"No." Patriot interrupted FrostNova's explanation.

"Old stubborn?" FrostNova looked up in confusion. A red light flashed in Patriot's eyes. He had seen through everything: "It was Mephisto, and Faust."

The coldness faded, and FrostNova froze: "They..."

Sonia pulled out her battle-axe and roared, unable to bear it any longer, "Damn Reunion Movement, locking all the students in the school."

"Because of food, the students fought and snatched. You set fire to the granary. Do you know how we survived?!"

How could they so lightly deny the crimes committed in Chernobog? By what right!

So the violent Sonia acted, even if it meant being killed by the Reunion Movement.

"..." The Yeti Squad didn't do it, the Shield Guards didn't do it.

It was Mephisto and Faust... FrostNova had figured it out. If it was the insane Mephisto, he would do that.

"Those two evil brats you mentioned have already been killed by me," Ren reminded them.

"Mmm mmm mmm!" The King Killer's eyes widened, and she flailed again.

"..." FrostNova was silent. The insane Mephisto and Faust, who indulged him, were dead.

Perhaps this was what they deserved, and the best possible outcome.

"I'm very sorry, but I can only ask the Yeti Squad to cease their occupation of Chernobog."

Patriot: "Shield Guards, will obey, orders."

Nearl frowned: "What about the other Reunion Movement members?"

Ren: "They are already dead too."

"Huh?" Everyone turned their gaze to Ren.

"When I took care of those two brats, I conveniently judged them; the guilty die, the innocent live, no need to thank me."

*****

With that, Ren grabbed the King Killer and walked over to Exusiai.

He currently didn't want to deal with the conflict between the Infected and non-Infected.

The conflicts on this land were not as simple as just the Infected versus non-Infected. It was just that the conflict was more obviously reflected in the Infected.

There were countless schemers on this land. A twisted land bred twisted fruits.

Facing a seven-star level Doom, Ren didn't act rashly.

Mainly, he still didn't know what form a seven-star Doom would take. Plus, without a Doom Companion, it would be a thankless effort.

He was too lazy to bother.

Amiya and the others debated with FrostNova and Sonia about matters related to Chernobog.

During this time, Sonia's think tank, Anna and Natalia, also came over. They clearly knew Sonia wasn't good with words and came to help.

This was not just an ordinary debate. It was also a clash of ideologies.

Ren and Penguin Logistics remained outsiders.

He dragged Talulah by the back of her collar over to Penguin Logistics. After he let go, the Dragon Girl sat on the ground listlessly.

"Why are you still holding a... Lupo?" Exusiai tugged on the King Killer's tail.

"Mmm mmm!" Ren directly lifted off her hat: "Look at these ears, she should be a Wolper."

"Fox girl?" A voice interjected; it was the hooded Doctor.

The Doctor pulled on her tail thoughtfully: "She also looks a bit like a wolf."

The three of them, to the King Killer's mortified embarrassment, proceeded to determine her race. The method they used was simply touching, rubbing, and kneading.

Under Ren's control, she was completely unable to resist.

"Texas, don't you think Exu and that Ren have a very good relationship?" Croissant poked Texas from the side, asking quietly.

Confirming there was no longer any danger, Texas put away her lightsword and took out a Pocky.

"Mm." She just glanced and hummed softly.

"Eh? Aren't you afraid Exu will be tricked?"

Texas said coolly: "Croissant, you'd be tricked, but Exu wouldn't be."

"I think you're underestimating me, Texas." Croissant clenched her fist, flexing her muscles.

"..." Texas thought to herself: This bread person is hopeless.

*****

After a while, Amiya and the others finally finished their debate.

On Ren's side, the two girls and one boy had also played with the King Killer until she was dazed, collapsing beside Talulah.

Although Ren was over here, he heard the debate on Amiya's side clearly.

Rhodes Island and the Reunion Movement were a clash of survival philosophies for the Infected.

The Reunion Movement and the Ursus Student Self-Governing Group were a dialogue between perpetrators and victims, although the true perpetrators had already died in Ren's judgment.

But FrostNova still felt pain over the Reunion Movement's actions.

Ultimately, the three parties reached a conclusion after everything was laid bare.

The Ursus Student Self-Governing Group was willing to forgive the remaining Reunion Movement members.

And after understanding Rhodes Island's philosophy, the Ursus Student Self-Governing Group prepared to join Rhodes Island.

FrostNova and the Yeti Squad also decided to join Rhodes Island.

Patriot and the Shield Guards were preparing to make their choice based on Talulah's situation.

Patriot had experienced too much and was unwilling to betray again. Talulah was still his leader.

Everyone then came before Ren.

"...Esteemed sir, thank you for everything you have done for Chernobog." This was a polite and sincere thank you from Sonia.

Ren blinked, staring at Sonia, and instinctively blurted out: "You're not General Winter!"

Shouldn't General Winter scold with disdain, "Disgraceful, get off the battlefield immediately!"?

Did such a polite General Winter truly exist?

However, Ren's single sentence immediately brought the polite Sonia back to her true nature.

Her tone instantly rose: "Hah? You sound like you know me very well?"

Ren nodded: "Mm, it fits."

"Pfft!" Natalia, Anna, Gummy, and others beside Sonia burst out laughing.

The thank you line just now was taught to her by Anna.

"Tsk." Sonia looked away, but deep down, she was curious about this man who had saved Chernobog.

He seems very familiar with me?

"Ren-san, on behalf of the current Reunion Movement, I thank you." FrostNova bowed deeply: "If not for you, we would have pushed the Infected into an even deeper abyss."

"Mm, it was just a casual act."

As they talked, Amiya's gaze caught the Doctor hiding on the ground, poking the King Killer's tail.

Her ears twitched, and a dark, devil-like whisper came from her small mouth: "Doctor, now is not the time to play!"

"Eek!" The Doctor shivered, immediately stood up, came to attention, and marched to Amiya's side.

Seeing the Doctor return, Amiya immediately put on a smiling face again: "Ren-san, we at Rhodes Island are also very grateful for your help."

"I'm sorry, Rhodes Island has nothing to give you in return, only our friendship."

"Mm, that's good." Ren said casually; he didn't expect Rhodes to give him anything.

"Since you've all settled things, I should head back. Someone is waiting for me at home."

The three gluttons at home haven't been fed yet.

"Wait, sir, leader, Talulah, she..." Patriot's voice asked haltingly.

Ren almost forgot there was still someone on the ground.

He first looked at Amiya and the others: "How do you plan to deal with her?"

Amiya, FrostNova, and the others exchanged glances. To be honest, they didn't know how to deal with the current Talulah.

Even though she was controlled by the Black Serpent, all the atrocities were created by her hand.

Who should be judged...?

Ren looked at Talulah in her Lolita dress. She had horns on her head. She had a strong tail behind her. Definitely a little Dragonian.

He was idle now and somewhat interested again.

He pinched his chin and speculated: "If she were to be dealt with, she probably wouldn't be able to gain freedom in the future, right?"

Amiya and the others were silent; Talulah would most likely be imprisoned.
