280~ About Compensation~
"Let's take advantage of this moment and go to the very center."
Continuously recovering magic power by relying on the "singularities" that Mo had created, preparing to use this magic power to resolve any problems encountered ahead.
......
Before long, the three arrived at a position near the center, which was the original location of that villa.
"Princess, please let me go ahead and scout the way first."
During this time, she had already roughly familiarized herself with the half of dream control authority divided from the Little Princess, and could already do many things.
She could even do it better than the Little Princess.
"No, you stay behind. Fei and I will walk in front."
She had bootleg Divine Power and dream control authority, while the Empress had incomparably vast magic power. Three types of power mixed together could settle the vast majority of problems.
"Found it."
It was a corpse covered with shadow, lying on the ground without any signs of life. The shadow continuously squirmed, but had already stopped expanding outward, as if it had suffered heavy damage.
"Mo, shall we eradicate it directly?"
"Mm."
That was exactly her intention.
Freely squandering the bootleg Divine Power, mixing it with dream control authority to form a power that could erase everything.
"Farewell forever..."
The Little Princess bid farewell, then directly pressed this power onto the corpse, rubbing it repeatedly until the entire corpse completely disappeared.
Clearly, eighteen years had already passed. She had always thought she had already escaped her past. Who would have thought she was still living under its shadow?
However, this time, it was truly forever farewell.
After disposing of the corpse, the Little Princess sat on the ground thinking for a long time. But she suddenly discovered something. Opening her hand, there was a mass of shadow coiling around her hand, but it wasn't eroding her. Instead, it was very affectionate.
This was?
After falling silent for a while, she felt relieved.
This was good too.
"Mo, something's coming."
Looking up in the direction the Empress pointed, she saw tanks, armored vehicles, and ground troops, with all weapons aimed at the three of them.
Seeing this, the Empress also raised her hand and condensed a Magic Circle. As long as the other side made the first move, she would also use magic to send this troop to heaven.
"Stop!"
The Little Princess shouted at the Empress.
"That's enough! We've already resolved this thing. There's no need to take action again."
The shadow was already gone. They couldn't harm the people here anymore. She couldn't stand to watch.
"..."
After hesitating for a while, the Empress lowered her hand.
"Sorry, we have no intention of being your enemies. Could I trouble you to let us leave?"
The Little Princess inquired.
"No! We have orders from above. We must bring all three of you back!"
"Orders?"
That made sense. The three of them had caused such a huge commotion. It would be strange if they weren't brought in for questioning!
However, they probably wouldn't easily take action against them. After all, they had directly destroyed an entire city. Having this kind of ability would definitely make people afraid. And having such ability meant they didn't need to fear the other side taking action, because they wouldn't dare.
"Let's go."
The Little Princess led the two of them to walk before the army, extending both hands and allowing the other side to cuff her wrists with handcuffs.
"Fei, Xiao Xi, it's fine."
Anyway, the Empress couldn't possibly be harmed. And she possessed bootleg Divine Power and half of the dream control authority. Maid Xiao Xi was the incarnation of half the dream control authority, so she also couldn't possibly be truly harmed.
So it didn't matter. The dream's collapse had already stopped now...
......
......
"Commander, the people have been brought back."
The three were brought into a very high-level command post and placed in the same room. In front of them was a spotlight shining on them, preventing them from clearly seeing the face of the commander sitting opposite them.
"Who are you three?"
"People from another world."
The Little Princess answered without hesitation.
"People from another world?"
"That is, people from another world who smuggled into this world through some method."
"That mass of pitch-black stuff, did you bring it here?"
"...I suppose so."
That thing was the shadow from the depths of her past heart. For destroying the city to this extent, she bore a share of responsibility.
"I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience we've caused you. Regarding this aspect, we will compensate double for all losses, including but not limited to helping you rebuild a city."
"So that means the source of all this calamity was brought by you people?"
"I can't deny this... But with all due respect, this isn't entirely our responsibility. That thing being triggered also includes a share of Miss Song's responsibility."
"Miss Song?"
"Song Siya."
If it weren't for that woman continuously provoking her, this matter probably wouldn't have happened!
"That shadow was triggered by her. Before this, I had no behavior that would trigger it."
"I see..."
The commander lowered his head and pondered. He still felt that relying only on the Little Princess's one-sided story wasn't enough to understand the true picture of events.
"What about you two? Do you have anything to say?"
First was the Empress, the instigator who razed the city to the ground. And the nuclear power plant destroyed on the island nation's side was also this Empress's handiwork!
"I have nothing to say. Don't you already understand things quite clearly?"
"I?"
"Fei is the Empress of a nation. I presume you've already learned this from Officer Chen, right?"
Even thinking with her toes, she knew Chen Ze had followed them the whole way. The military side definitely had ways of knowing.
Being able to directly and accurately locate their position and dispatch troops over, this was definitely thanks to satellite imagery, right? Then knowing through satellites that Chen Ze had been together with them for quite a while wasn't strange either.
It had to be the Beidou satellites.
"..."
Leaving the interrogation room, the commander lit a cigarette and made a phone call.
He still needed to request instructions, because the losses and impact brought by this incident were truly too severe. An entire first-tier city had been razed to the ground. This kind of economic loss could be said to have directly caused extremely severe damage to the entire country, whether economically, politically, or in terms of international standing. The impact was extremely serious.
......
"Mo, when are you preparing to leave?"
"Let's wait a bit more."
Although it was a dream world where everything was false, they had caused such great destruction. She was too embarrassed to shirk responsibility.
Dream control authority should be sufficient to repair this city... right?
She didn't know either. She could only compensate as much as possible!
If this situation had occurred in her past life's reality, being executed by firing squad would be considered light! That was an entire city that was bombed! And it was a first-tier city!
"By the way, Fei, do you have any way to preserve this dream?"
The Little Princess's words took a turn, switching to the otherworldly language.
"Preserve the dream?"
"Mm, preserve this dream, or even just preserve this Xiao Xi!"
"Of course, but that will have to wait until we wake up."
As long as they woke up in reality, she still had methods. She just needed to use dream magic again to individually extract the entity of Maid Xiao Xi from the dream.
