"Your...subordinate?"

Xiaojie's eyes cleared up bit by bit. He looked at him and clenched his fists as if awakened. "You said, Peter is your subordinate? So then,"

There were still tears on his face that he would not be able to wipe away in the future, and the man said word by word, "You, yes, ant, ant, king."

Meruam didn't answer, he silently looked at the protagonist of the Hunter World in front of him, a teenage child, and it was this child who killed Peter.He turned his gaze and landed on the puppet that had been pieced together. He lost Catwoman's control, and now he was nothing more than a pile of rotten flesh.Just for something like this...

Sensing his gaze, Xiaojie's slightly turned body froze suddenly.Kate quietly fell to the ground, even that false breath of life disappeared.Everything in front of him was telling him in a straightforward way that Kate really lost her life for him.His face turned pale, and his pure black pupils dilated slightly, but he couldn't look away mechanically.Various wounds criss-crossed Kate's face, her eyeballs protruded, she was pale and humiliated, and the person who caused all this was right in front of her eyes.

"why……"

Meluem raised her head, and looked indifferently at the man who seemed to be holding back something.Do you want to point fingers, or vent your anger on him?

"why!"

Xiaojie stared closely into his cold black eyes, "Why didn't you stop it? Why did you connive at your subordinates doing such a thing? Why...don't even care about her death?"

At this point, do you still care about the enemy's situation? Obviously, you don't have this position at all... Slightly raising one eyebrow, the young man replied coldly, "Peter didn't obey my order, even if he died, it would be completely wrong." reap the consequences. As for blocking, "

He raised the corners of his lips, showing a cruel arc, "Why should I stop my subordinates from having a little fun for a human being?"

Although Kate died before he was born, even if he lived, he would never bother about a human being.Ants and humans are always two parties that cannot coexist, and he has long since abandoned that stupid kindness.He stood there with a sneering smile, but there was endless coldness emanating from him.

Xiaojie moved his lips, but he couldn't move under the huge and terrifying thought pressure, and couldn't speak.However, he raised his head stubbornly, and looked directly into his eyes with difficulty, there was sadness, remorse and anger in them, but no fear alone.

This child is not afraid of anyone, even if he is facing the strongest person in the world, he is born to stand at the top of the food chain.It is not good or evil that can affect him, but his own heart.Peter died at the hands of such a person.

Meruam took steps, walking towards the imprisoned person step by step.The strange thing is that the tyranny that has been surging since reincarnation seems to calm down suddenly, and now he is calmer than ever before.The heart is beating steadily, and the blood is flowing quietly—this appearance is like becoming one with the real ant king, so the tyranny and cruelty have easily merged into his blood, not disappearing, not Buried, but very naturally integrated into one.As if he was born this way, he was naturally cruel and despised all life in this world. ——including the man in front of him.

After abandoning all his tenderness, was it the human heart that was abandoned next?Meluem's footsteps stopped, and she suddenly bent down and let out a deep laugh.Although I don't know what that god thinks, the development of things is indeed getting more and more interesting.As if he was cultivating the next identical individual, step by step, he inevitably embarked on those pre-determined paths.Have you been toyed with?No, this is also his wish.If only becoming a god can get rid of this fate that he hates, then he is willing and can give his all for it.The darkness and resentment constantly surging in his heart roared, he will become a god, and he will be the only supreme god in this world!

"Haha...hahaha..."

With his icy laughter, something went away, and something new came to life, the power circulating in his body suddenly stopped, and then frantically moved in one direction.That is a circle, a circle that goes on and on and on and on.What had been in his body since the world of Fullmetal Alchemist finally revealed its true face at this time.

"The so-called... gift of truth?"

Meruam closed his eyes slightly, and felt that the chaotic forces that he had been suppressing all along began to flow in one direction and joined together. Although they still failed to merge together, his power was finally freed from hidden dangers. out.

That's right, that's the truth.It was not the rewriting of the rules, but the taming and utilization of power. Feeling the innate ease and smoothness in his heart, Meluem smiled mockingly.The abilities that Ed has acquired are just the tip of the iceberg, and the real truth is much more than that.If power is a chess piece, then "truth" is the pair of hands that place every bit of power in an appropriate position, arrange, tame, and then exert the greatest power, and what it follows are the rules.rule?He faintly felt something, but felt that he was just standing on the edge of that door, and he couldn't touch any more.

Well, it's not good to be too greedy.Opening his eyes, Meluem looked at his palm with a brand new vision. It was fair and powerful, but it was not a human body.But the disgust that has been lingering in his heart has disappeared... Maybe he will still be affected by different bodies in the future, but it is no longer possible to replace him.And as a price, what he paid was the heart of a human being.Truth is above all things, so he can only stand outside the endless prosperity, and he is silent if he cuts into the sky.Therefore, there has never been a day when he understood the loneliness of the ant king as deeply as today.He is a unique creature in this world, unlike any man, without companions or even resemblances.He came into this world alone, with no past and no future, but he couldn't tolerate his own weakness.Now, even if he returns to that initial time, he will not have half a sense of belonging, he can only look up, and then blank into an empty image in the dream intertwined with memories.

The home is no longer his.Because he himself had already stepped forward and stepped out.Smiling silently, Meruam didn't know what kind of expression he was showing, but saw Xiaojie staring at him blankly, and then took a step back uncontrollably.

"What's wrong? Are you... so afraid of me?"

The familiar blood-colored flames surged to the fingertips, but there was no reluctance or pain in the slightest. They danced smoothly, dyeing the surroundings with a thin layer of warm light, as if they had been reborn.The young man looked at the dancing flames, and for the first time, there was a little warmth in his eyes.However, this gentleness is like a flash in the pan, and it disappears in an instant.Looking almost mockingly at the man's power gained from overdrawing his potential, Meluem's eyes were cold, "Are you ready to pay for the crime of killing my subordinates?"

"What... what?"

"Stupid, get out of here!"

The sudden shouting and the "cracking" sound of the flames were mixed together, and the silver-haired boy rushed over and pulled away the dazed Xiaojie.And the bloody flames quickly devoured the place where he originally stood, and burned happily.

"...Qi?"

"Ah, it's me,"

The boy looked at him angrily, "Speaking of which, why did you become like this?"

"Kiya... Kate is dead."

The man turned around, looked into his eyes and said word by word, "He died to save me."

"Varied……"

Chi Ya was startled, and his eyes fell on the broken puppet, and then on the dead Peter.Suddenly thought of something, his face turned pale, the young man firmly grabbed his friend's arm, "Xiaojie, you... did you use..."

One can imagine the price to be paid for being so abnormally strong. "Idiot! Idiot! Fool!"

The boy cursed angrily, "You actually did this kind of thing without authorization, are you dying!"

There was a slight tremor in his voice, but he saw transparent tears pouring out of Xiaojie's black pupils again, "Qi Ya, Kate, he is really dead."

For the first time, the young man showed his sadness and despair completely in front of his friends, no need for extra words, Qi Ya suddenly fell silent.He wanted to say that I was also the one who ran away, so we must bear this kind of thing together, why do we have to do this kind of thing alone!But he didn't say anything in the end.Things like life can never be apportioned and redeemed.Neither Kate's meaning to Xiaojie nor the sadness at this moment is something he can intervene in.All he could do was to clenched his fists and stand in front of Xiaojie.

"Step aside."

Glancing at him, Meluem said indifferently, and the ice-cold psychic pressure instantly radiated.

"This time...it's really not good."

Half kneeling on the ground, Qi Ya showed a wry smile, "Hey, Xiaojie, this guy must be the Ant King."

Cold sweat slid down his cheeks, but the boy didn't show any intention of retreating.

"kindness,"

Xiaojie nodded, "Qi Ya, I'm sorry..."

"What are you kidding..."

With difficulty pulling out a smile, Qi Ya said, "How could I leave you alone."

"Tsk, the relationship is really good."

Meruam lowered her head, looked at Kyuubi who jumped into her arms, "Why are you here?"

"Well, I just feel that your mood is a little bit wrong,"

Nine Tails shook its tail, "Fire Lotus is ready to use?"

The reason why it uses such an obvious question to prevaricate is because it doesn't know what reason to use to cover up its momentary worry.Such... Boundless despair and loneliness... What happened to this guy?

"...It's just a necessary price."

The boy lowered his eyes, put away the flame in his hand and stroked its fur soothingly, "Don't worry."

"Tch, what a dishonest guy."

Kyuubi glanced at the boy's calmer face, and suddenly turned his head awkwardly, "Anyway... don't forget, the person who signed the contract with me is you, so...so..."

You are not alone.It is not such a sad existence that is always independent of this world.

"Ah! Why did my uncle say these things!"

Jumping to the ground irritably, Kyuubi showed his paws, "Just kill these two brats, right! I haven't eaten for a long time!"

It took a step forward, exuding an aura no weaker than that of the king, "Sa, which one is better to eat first?"

"Snapped!"

Meluem's figure moved slightly, but Nine-Tails raised its head unhappily. It stretched out its claws, revealing a long nail it was pinching, "What is this?"

"It's really troublesome..."

The silver-haired boy suddenly raised his head, "This voice is..."

"Qi Ya,"

The black-haired young man showed his figure, his long soft hair hung down behind him, and there was no expression on his handsome face.But he slightly elongated his tone, "Although grandpa said that you have grown up, you will still cause trouble in the same way. Have you forgotten what brother said?"

A flash of fear suddenly flashed in his eyes, and Qi Ya couldn't help covering his forehead, "...what?"

"Never, never rebel against the strong."

He said this, but his eyes fell on Xiaojie, "Sure enough, this little devil has too much influence on you, so you should kill him. But first..."

He turned his gaze to the boy and the fox at the side, and tightened the pin in his hand.
