[I am loyal! 】

Luojia swooped down and snatched the sword from Fugen's hand, which sent his head flying, but his body still carried out the order, snatching the sword down, and the iron sword fell to the ground.

+ I believe you are loyal! My brother! +

Luojia's roar came, his body began to twitch, and Fugen, who was knocked down by Luojia's body, turned his head in horror, and saw that behind him, the head that was thrown out was screaming silently with its mouth and eyes wide open, and fierce golden flames burned on the severed head.

[——Ah!!! 】

Fugen screamed, but the phoenix immediately got up at the same time, stumbled over, picked up Luojia's head with both hands, and the golden flame burned along Fugen's arm, without a trace of hesitation, Fugen turned around and stuck his head in front of Luojia's twitching body.

+ Thank you, my brother. +

Luojia's voice sounded again, and Fugen, who couldn't understand the original body of the Bearer, took two steps back and stumbled to the ground.

Fugen saw that the team led by Luojia was also dumbfounded by the scene that had just happened.

Luojia, who had been twitching on the ground earlier, stood up and groped her hands upwards to pull out the head that had been violently thrust by Fugan a little—so that it could be suspended again.

Then the head slowly turned back to face Fugan.

The threads that had just been stretched open by the screaming of the violent, and the threads that had tightly sewn the eyes and mouth were all back.

Fugan collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath from the horror and exertion, and he raised his hand, and the golden flames that had burned him faded again.

[This is the ...... What is it? 】

Fugan asked, the golden flames brought him pain, but he didn't reject them, he remembered Luojia's words just now, and a thought came to his mind—

+ Divine Emperor Power. +

Luojia said, he raised his hand, and his scepter returned to the original hand,

+ Now will you believe that I am faithful? +

Fugen swallowed, he looked down at Fenus's armor, and in the afterglow, there seemed to be a golden flame on his arm,

…… No...... No, if it was a vision, He would have tempted him with Phineus, not Luojia.

Not even more - such a weird Luojia!

Fenus, Horus, St. Giles...... But it won't be Luojia.

【Gentle... You...... What he wants me to do. 】

Fugen stammered, but he immediately added,

[Except for loyalty, everything I have has been taken away by Him, I am not sure that I have what you want, I am not sure that I can do what you want me to do. 】

Fugen gritted his teeth, blood oozing from his mouth,

[I...... If you can help your father...... I'd love to. 】

The filthy grey-armored giant in front of him seemed to sigh,

+ Your own existence is a kind of coordinate. +

Luojia waved the scepter, and the golden runes twisted down from the scepter, touching the ground, instantly surrounding Fugen, who twitched unnaturally, but in the end didn't say anything,

Luojia bent down and pulled Fugen up,

The original body of the Bearer turned his head, and his closed eyes looked into the void in the distance, as if to confirm something,

+You are chosen+

The tone of the golden speaker was slightly sad,

+ I'm sorry - but I think you need to know the truth, I trust your loyal brother - can you guarantee that you will live up to my trust? +

Forgense winced, his gaze hidden in his messy hair never lifted, and he finally didn't speak,

Luojia continued to talk to herself, as if Fugen acquiesced,

+ He, Slaanesh, made a deal with you,+

Luojia said with difficulty,+ because he expected a being that resembled him enough to be far enough away from the palace when Hades entered the palace of the Six Desires. +

+ You are the bait He has chosen. +

Fugen, who had been keeping his head down, trembled violently,

[He wants me to lead away...... It? 】

The floating head moved up and down comically, as if nodding,

Why did He want it to be?!!! 】

Fugen screamed, he stepped forward angrily, and pushed Luojia down with his hand, but Luojia didn't move, and then, Fugen seemed to suddenly realize something, and the phoenix cursed loudly, pacing back and forth in place like a trapped beast,

+ Because he changed his mind in the middle of the way,+

Luojia said as calmly as possible,+ He wants to sacrifice Himself completely to detonate the whole Most High Heaven. +

Is this a lie? Maybe it is, or maybe it isn't—after all, no one knows what Slaanesh himself thinks.

Slaanesh himself is not clear.

+ For His pleasure...... He threw part of his authority into the River Styx, relinquishing that authority. +

Luojia's sewn eyes made his face look extraordinarily calm and kind,

+ But authority in this regard has not disappeared. +

Forgan looked up sharply,

[It-]

Fugen was dumbfounded for a moment, but then said menacingly, [According to my inference, there is no possibility of any subspace existence in that black mass!] 】

Luojia raised her hand and made a religious gesture in front of her,

+ Praise the Emperor of God,+

The Golden Speaker said, + The closest power to Hades is the Emperor of God, and our Father .......+

+ He sent down His power and took advantage of the weakness of Slaanesh to take some of Slaanesh's authority over the River Styx. +

Fugen looked at Luojia in horror,

[He wants...... He ......]

+ The authority of the Emperor is in conflict with that of Slaanesh - He cannot use them,+

Luojia said that he pointed the head of his scepter to the ground, and around Fugen, those golden runes began to emit a little purple light,

Tears slowly flowed from Luojia's eyes, and in front of him, Fugen, who fell to the ground again because of extreme horror,

+ But you can, my brother. +

Fugen clutched his head and pulled his hair nervously, trying to pull back some of his sanity with pain, is this an illusion?

[No...... I am loyal. 】

Fugen muttered to himself in a low voice, he had lost all his ...... In the end, all he could keep was his loyalty.

Luojia was silent, his shadow shrouded the phoenix who was talking to himself in a mad manner, and the golden tears he shed glistened brightly, as the golden speaker of almsgiving, Luojia wanted to comfort the phoenix.

But there was no time left.

He could feel the impatience of the gods.

Luojia lowered her scepter again, and golden flames burst into flames on the runes, enveloping Fugen.

The black line on Luojia's mouth loosened, and the original body opened its mouth, and with a dumb voice, followed the god on the throne, word by word, obediently reciting the prophecy,

【Fugen,】

Luojia said, "If you really want to prove that you are loyal and pure, then give your last self. 】

[Even if you don't have any value now,]

[But a piece of bait doesn't need much value.] 】

Fugen raised his head sharply, staring at the expressionless Luojia, as if he had been completely shattered,

[And after that,]

The Emperor said,

Find Machado, and I will give you the sleep you want. 】

Phoenix's eyes overflowed with tears, and he opened his mouth tremblingly, penetrating Luojia's body, as if he saw the emperor behind him,

[Really, Father? 】

The other side replied to him only with loneliness.

Fogen gasped as he slumped into a cage surrounded by layers of golden flames, picking up Fenus's torn armor on the ground.

He lowered his head, hid his face again under the messy hair, and his pale, shriveled mouth moved,

Thank you for your kindness, Father. 】

[I'm ready.] 】

He clenched his teeth, blood oozing from his mouth, and he guarded what little loyalty he had left, proudly, stubbornly, and with a demonic look.

Did he do the right thing, Fenus?

Did Fogen wonder, or was he just unwilling to be proven wrong about his own previous choices?

Is your loyalty valuable to Him?

But in the end, Fugen was also stubborn, and finally did not bow his head.

Maybe he just didn't want to bow his head.

Buried in this shell, Slaanesh's legacy pact didn't take effect in the end—the contract that immediately allowed the original body to gain a large amount of Slaanesh's power.

In the hands of Slaanesh, there is already a blessed root to shake his loyalty and explode the evil psionic power, so as to reinduce the plan of the Immortal King.

The eyes of the Emperor of the God of the Throne are full of complexity,

Eventually, Fogen was also reluctant to surrender his allegiance to Lustrin...... The Emperor thought,

But this also means that the emperor will devote more of his own power to make up for the lack of Slaanesh's power.

Right now......

The emperor looked at the figure who was kneeling on the ground in embarrassment, holding the armor of Fernus.

…… Fogen ...... O Fugen......

The emperor thought, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth,

…… No way...... Such a pure and faithful soul...... It's better to stay.

…… It is...... It's hard to hurt the old horse.

The golden flames burned silently.

No, yes!
