Chapter 1134 154: Clumsy
The only task that survived the calamity was that of the Valenkov Autonomy—
No.
...............
If it was a massacre, it was too efficient; billions of people screamed in agony simultaneously, echoing throughout the cosmos, truly horrifying. But if it was a natural disaster, the signals of those thousands, well-organized armies within the gravitational waves, clearly indicated it was a man-made catastrophe.
A planet has fallen.
Not in the usual sense of falling, but in Li Aozi's perception, the planet was engulfed, digested, and fused with something.
This method was all too familiar; Li Aozi immediately recognized the identity of the perpetrator.
"... [Society]."
Li Aozi said gravely:
"A planet-level civilization has been devoured by [Society]."
...............
[We did not encounter [Society] beforehand, but right before we arrived at the Valenkov Autonomy, [Society] had already hunted nearby.]
Leoz suddenly recalled.
If you really count it, then on this journey, no matter what task he undertook, he would inevitably deal with [Society].
—This proportion is ridiculously high, it's fundamentally abnormal.
As he recalled his journey, Leoz suddenly discovered how [Society] had consistently haunted every major incident within Layer Abyss.
Layer Abyss is infiltrated highly by [Society].
Not only this, but wherever he went on this journey, he would run into [Society]; even without meeting a Senator Citizen, he would use the Institution.
This is too coincidental.
When Leoz shared his findings with Rednaya, she didn't question but pondered for a while.
"Are you suggesting that Lievice has colluded with [Society]?"
Rednaya thought for a moment and frowned:
"But, that would be highly unusual."
"That's ludicrous; Lievice, at her worst, is still the Evil God of Starry Abyss Side. Those rebel Evil Gods under your command were ruthless in killing our Secret Citizens; this principled matter, Lievice should not have forgotten."
"I don't mean that, at least not so straightforwardly."
Leoz speculated:
"Could it be something about me attracts [Society]?"
"It's definitely not you attracting [Society]; I also possess some power to traverse time and space. I'm quite certain; you're very clean, absolutely lacking factors that attract [Society]."
Rednaya shook her head:
"However, if someone is modifying probabilities to force you into contact with [Society]... that's quite possible."
"—Lord Entropy?" Leoz thought of it first: "But it has already erased the good ending for me; why continue to entangle me?"
"It doesn't have to be that entity."
Rednaya crossed her legs, thoughtfully:
"There's no such ability on the Secret Side; the closest power to modify fate is from [Writer] and me, the [Collector]. Not to mention [Writer] can only rewrite the 'main character' fate as with short efficacy. All the [Writer] you came into contact with has been killed, and I—I only return to the past—and besides, my current Jade Dragon strength is very weak; just dragging myself into a dream is exhausting."
"Are you hurt so badly?" Leoz was surprised: "Has Anpolo's power affected your reforging?"
Rednaya glanced at Leoz, her mouth slightly upturned:
"Should I understand this as you caring about me?"
"Of course I care about you. If anything goes wrong with you, I wouldn't know what to do facing Gaia and countless Earthlings. Without you, the Earth traitor, it would be inconvenient; no matter what, you have to be alright."
Leoz spoke casually.
[At least until I use you up and discard you, don't let anything happen.]
"Mm-hmm, not a bad answer, I'll generously give you seven out of ten."
Rednaya's gaze was rather ambiguous; she tapped the table lightly, stating:
"Currently, I have no combat strength; you'll need to protect me well."
"No problem. I'll do my best." Leoz said readily.
"Like you protected Morphederia?"
"No, Morphederia was bitten to death. Gaia ripped through history and spacetime right before me, bit its neck, and with a slight exertion, easily killed it as if chewing mutton fat."
Leoz seriously stared at Rednaya, with steadfast eyes:
"I won't let you die before me."
[Before the last Earthling dies, you can't die.]
"Hmm... nine points. I like this statement, especially when you say such words—it makes my heart beat fast."
Rednaya propped her chin, squinting her eyes, lazily said:
"However, if it's truly as you say, we might have to give up on Lievice. If we clash with [Society] at this stage, then the entire [Society] side will know I, the hidden Speaker, am the same as Starry Abyss's Chief God."
"They actually don't know?" Leoz was surprised.
"Secrets don't want domestic scandals broadcast — coupled with the traits of secrecy, over time, no one remembers we came."
Rednaya meticulously pondered, her voice melodious and gentle, like raindrops softly falling on the lake surface:
"Your special constitution... It's likely someone deliberately controlling you to counter [Society]. If you think it through, meeting me might even be part of their plan, intending for you to kill me too."
