(Don't worry, I don't want to become a eunuch in the palace. I'm still a virgin.)
(Proud face.jpg)
--------
"Come out, you sneaky, rude scoundrel!"
Alice Tria brandished her lance, surveying her surroundings, her arm armor poised for action.
The protagonist of the legendary biographical manga and anime "Scarlet Alice," originally a princess, she resolutely transforms into a knight to save her world from war, wielding her ancestral gauntlet "Gaz von Belrichger" to fight against the enemy.
Yes, this is also a princess in military uniform.
"I've always been here, you just didn't notice me."
A dark humanoid figure crawled out of the ground, its face devoid of any expression.
"Who are you? State your name, you man of darkness."
"The Man of Darkness? Ah, that's a good name. Then you may call me the Man of Darkness."
The dark humanoid seemed quite pleased with the title and shamelessly accepted it.
"As for why I came here? Well, actually I'm here to find help. As for the purpose... you might not believe it, but I'm here to save the world."
"save the world?"
"Are you here to save your world too?"
"Are you also one of those who followed the princess in military uniform?"
Alice and Meteora asked questions at the same time, but the purple-haired man stopped his attempt to sneak away and silently stood behind Meteora again.
She sensed trouble brewing.
"Um, I think you seem to have misunderstood something..."
Looking at the two sides whose attitudes had completely changed from before, the dark figure touched his jet-black head and slowly said:
"When I say 'saving the world,' I mean saving this beautiful and peaceful world, not the dilapidated and hopeless world I used to live in."
Following the words of the man in darkness, the attitudes of both sides began to shift again.
Alice Tria picked up her lance again, but Meteora's face remained expressionless.
"You bastard—are you going to abandon the world you live in?! Don't you feel ashamed?!"
The noble knight princess cannot condone the words of those who embody darkness; to her, it is a betrayal.
He betrayed his homeland, his family, and the world that raised him.
But Meteora grasped the key point in his words.
A beautiful and peaceful world.
The original world was dilapidated and hopeless.
What on earth happened to make this guy, who clearly isn't a good person, say such a thing?
"Shame? Hahaha, ahhhhhh... Why would I feel ashamed of something like this?"
The dark humanoid seemed to have heard a very funny joke, and it was laughing heartily while clutching its stomach. After laughing, it even asked Alice Tria a question.
"You guy-"
"Didn't I already say that my world is beyond saving? Yes, it's beyond saving, it's completely insane. Letting it die in its madness is the best relief for it."
"This kind of thing..."
"Shut up! What do you know? What do you all know? Have you ever seen the sun rot? Have you ever felt the madness and fear of all things? Have you ever seen your friends and family corrupted into a twisted monster under the sun? Have you ever worshipped that indescribable god? War? Mere war? Ha, I've said it before, those who haven't experienced it will never know what true despair is."
The dark figure was growing impatient. A chilling yet fearful question echoed along the small riverbank, the weight of the words pressing heavily on their hearts.
Even in these few short, fragmented words, one can feel the hidden, deep despair and fear.
What kind of world could be like this...?
"That's why I say this world is so beautiful and peaceful. Anyone who tries to destroy this peace, I will kill them all without hesitation. But now, I've discovered that nauseating light."
"That light comes from the same world as me, a light powerful enough to destroy the world. If you don't believe me, go and read the book 'Redeeming the Forbidden World Under the Darkness,' the people in that church have already been corrupted."
"You're from the government, right? Take this phone. If you make a decision, let me know, I—"
The figure of darkness pulled a black phone from his stomach and tossed it to Meteora, and in the next second—
"Light!"
Accompanied by sacred sounds, the light of purification descended upon this place.
"Aaaaaah! This is—it's you bastards!!! I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll absolutely kill you!"
"I will absolutely not allow you to continue polluting this world!"
The figure in darkness, illuminated by the light, let out a shrill scream. He seemed to recognize the one who had summoned the light, and boundless killing intent and hatred emanated from him, causing nearby Mamika Kiraki to turn deathly pale.
The darkness transformed into a strange tentacle, whipping at the figure in the light with the speed of a whirlwind.
"Oh, I didn't expect to run into you bunch of deadbeats while just out shopping. Looks like I'm in luck today."
The person radiating a dazzling light spoke, his tone devoid of emotion, yet possessing a unique charm that compelled people to listen attentively to his words.
"The survivors? Ah, yes, we are indeed the survivors, but—"
Even if we all die, we'll drag you all down to hell with us!
The man of darkness let out a determined shout, and more and more dark tentacles were pulled from his body, waving continuously in the air.
"Hell? How utterly laughable! What can hell possibly do to me? In heaven, I am God. In hell, I am Satan. On earth, I am a saint!"
Like a divine incarnation, the figure uttered words that could be described as arrogant and absurd, yet they made one feel that what he said was true.
The man of darkness ignored him; after all, the people in that church were all madmen and psychopaths, so it wasn't surprising that they would say anything.
"Alright, let me see your true colors. Which bishop are you?"
"You want to know who I am? Are you sure?"
Despite the emotionless words, Meteora and the others detected a hint of something—
Pleasurable?

Novel Author: A Cat Before an Insect
Synopsis: Chang Yan died, and Chang Yan time-traveled.
As the saying goes, it has turned into a banana tree.
Chang Yan turned into a tree demon.
As the saying goes, it has taken on a physical form.
As the saying goes, one desires immortality, so he searched for all the martial arts techniques in the world.
People often talk about living forever. But looking back, I feel very lonely.
Chang Yan found Gensokyo and decided to become a lazy bum.
(One to two updates per day, never abandoning the project)
That's right, the protagonist of this novel is also named Chang Yan, what a coincidence!
Chapter 187 Holy Cross
"What's there to be uncertain about? They're all old rivals."
"An old rival? Very well, then celebrate, mortal, for you will worship—"
“The face of God (me)”.
The light faded, revealing the figures within.
His exquisitely handsome features seemed otherworldly, and the cross in his eyes represented absolute holiness.
Wow, buddy, you're really handsome!
After taking a look, Shimotsuki no Tsukijoin Shinkan couldn't help but exclaim, after all, it was the first time he had ever seen someone with such exquisite features.
Chikujoin Makan is the perpetrator who massacred all the students of Kouro no Mine Academy in the fifth volume of the light novel series "Yoroku: Oni-roku" (The Record of the Night Window Demon), a fictional work in the original work. He is capricious and gloating, and his motto is "Laugh and Enjoy." He takes a cheerful attitude towards the misfortunes and disasters happening around him, using them as his source of entertainment.
But sometimes, in order to make things more interesting, he will choose to help others. His actions are driven by random motives, without a clear direction or purpose. He is purely and extremely interested in pursuing a kind of twisted pleasure, making him a complete "outlier".
Her abilities are quite abnormal.
That's really perverted.
Words of Deception: An Infinite Deception
It is a kind of magic that uses deception and lies as a medium. The practitioner asks questions to others (lies), and once the person being questioned denies the question (questions the other party's lie), the lie becomes reality. It is a kind of magic that can distort reality and falsehood, reverse cause and effect, and make lies come true.
It's an extremely powerful ability; if you don't know the specifics of this Word of Power, you can easily be tricked and killed.
To give an example from the original work—
Tsukiyomi Shinkan: Perhaps your gun pierced you instead of me?
Alice Tria: Are you planning to die by spouting nonsense? (Raises her lance and thrusts it forward)
Tsukiyomi Shinkan: A lie of lies, which can instantly reverse right and wrong.
If the spear had not been blocked by Serega Eupteria at that moment, and instead Alice's lance had pierced directly into Chikujoin Makan's body, then reality and cause and effect would have been distorted, creating the "fact" that Alice was pierced by her own lance.
However, once you know her specific abilities, dealing with her is very simple.
Either stay silent, or just keep saying "Yes, yes, you're right."
"No, it's impossible... Why, why you... How could you have been brought into this world? This is impossible! Impossible!"
Upon seeing Chang Yan's true face again, the expression on the man of darkness gradually changed from one of provocation and fighting spirit to disbelief, and then to—
despair.
"Why did you, the Holy Son, come here! Why did you, the monster, come here! How could that old bastard allow you to come here! No, no! I will not allow any of this! I will kill you! Even if it costs me my worthless life, I will kill you!"
"God, devour my body!"
Its face gradually became ferocious and hideous. The dark humanoid roared and charged towards Chang Yan, bringing with it endless darkness.
"Nothing can stop me. And you, you are merely courting death—"
"Holy Cross Sanctions".
The dark humanoid, carrying endless darkness, crashed into the cross that represented holy judgment.
The endless tentacles whipped at the light, yet it continuously melted away before the Holy Cross, while the figure of the dark being became fragmented.
"As expected, in front of you monster, I am nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
As he watched his body gradually disappear, the man of darkness calmed down and gave a bitter smile.
The difference is too great; no wonder he's called the saint of that church...
At least the message has been sent out...
It shouldn't matter if I die in this world...
This part of hell probably hasn't been eaten yet...
Ah, this must be eternal sleep...
The darkness vanished, leaving only the sacred light.
A light that is both sacred and eerie.
"A futile struggle..."
After leaving behind a single sentence, Chang Yan's figure vanished in the light, leaving only a sliver of afterglow.
