Song of Heaven 02 Tolerance

"What!"

Just when Rin realizes that something is wrong, everyone feels like they are frozen in their seats, unable to move their hands and feet, as if they are locked.

Bronya tried to drive the Lawgiver Core in her body, but found that it didn't work at all, and the Lawgiver Core seemed to be out of order, unable to respond to her call at all.

"Oh, don't be so excited, the concubine body really deceived you, there is no plan for 'joint disaster relief' at all, sorry, sorry, please don't ...... Hold a grudge against the concubine? ”

"What do you want to do?"

Rin asked Angelica with an angry expression as she struggled to get up.

"I won't hurt you, don't worry, I do have a request for you this time."

"Then let us go." Ciel said calmly.

Angelica just said "yes" happily, and then snapped her fingers so that everyone could breathe smoothly.

"I'm grass, this is too ...... It's horrible......" Jack lay on the ground in shock, remembering what had just happened to him.

Immediately afterwards, Angelica said the content of the mission to be carried out by the people who invited the Mandate of Heaven:

"I would like to ask you to go to the Third World that I destroyed with my own hands for me, and kill the concubine in that world, that is, Bishop Sif Shif, who is the center of the abnormal changes in the entire Third World."

"What?"

Everyone looked at her with a confused expression, including Miss Bronia, who was usually expressionless.

Among them, Xing and Mo Manlei, who were also present, looked even more incredulous, the "forgiveness of the Lord" who had usually prayed in the Arc Star Church for so long was actually the Archbishop of the Arc Star Church himself.

"Don't get so excited...... The Third World is a very unfamiliar term to you, so I'll explain it to you slowly. ”

So, Angelica told them about the Star Alliance, including the existence of several parallel worlds on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, including the fact that the plane they are in is the "second world".

At present, the scope of the "Ten Heavenly Saints" is active, from the first world that has been completely destroyed and is about to enter the reincarnation to the tenth world.

After all, these worlds are the largest fruits on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers of the current Cosmic Network, and of course, they are also the priority objects of the Heavenly Saints.

"Lord Angelica...... No, forgive the Lord, it is you who have stopped the plague and protected us with your own hands, have you? ”

Mo Manlei's performance at this time became more religious, and she was eager to take Angelica home and put a tablet for her to offer every day.

"Well, yes, that's right, you are all lovely believers with concubines, as your gods, concubines should fulfill the protection obligations of concubines."

Angelica replied with a smile on her face.

And Rin and they hadn't recovered from the final battle with Dagama not long ago, and now that a Heavenly Saint-level god had appeared in front of them, they didn't feel relaxed at all. Although Angelica's expression was so kind, so harmless to humans and animals, she didn't have the idea of harming them.

"Tolerant...... Lawgiver, that's what you should call you, right? Xing also asked her in horror.

Angelica said her real name "Annell", which is an ancient Gamma word that means the same as "tolerance".

"In the future, you can call the concubine whatever you want, what is it called...... Uh, the Lawgiver of Tolerance, the Lord of Tolerance, Annell, and even 'Angelica's Britney' and the like, concubines are all acceptable? ”

"This Heavenly Sage, don't have a personal evil taste in your last name, hey." Rin complained angrily.

"Ahh

Angelica pretended to be cute and blinked her right eye, and by the way, she stuck out her tongue in Rin's mischievous manner.

Rin noticed Angelica's expression, and she seemed to be quietly staring at herself. As she watched, she was still muttering something in her mouth.

According to Rin's subsequent memories, it was confirmed that these words were voices such as "The little prince of the concubine~".

After going through some psychological struggle, everyone also let down their guard against the ontology of the "Tolerant Lawgiver" in front of them, and began to talk to her about the Third World.

Angelica said that she originally wanted to exist as an "observer" of the Third World, but one day she made a decision that disrupted her entire plan.

That is to separate her own power and create a new self to replace her in the third world to carry out observation work, so that she can go to the second world to fish and be lazy and not work.

"That's really ...... Is. Rin said with a look of shame.

"It's unimaginable." Javi on the side also added.

However, just as she was about to release a tenth of her power, an accident happened.

Obviously still in the Fourth World, the "All-Knowing Heavenly Saint" Igley God-King who controls the world line of "Gamma People Rule the Earth" suddenly led the elite paladins of the Fourth World to raid Angelica in the Third World.

It seems that Angelica also learned that she wanted to give up some of her powers, and Angelica paid a terrible price to fight off Iglay.

And the price of this is - turning the Third World into a white hell on earth.

There, it is not only full of "angels" who have spread due to the loss of control of the power of Honkai, but also a group of local humans who are still surviving under the protection of the Arc Church in the Third World.

"So, you did it all alone? Or is it in this way? Only a tenth of the power? Rin asked.

"Of course, after all, I'm hundreds of times stronger than the Vagama you defeated before?"

She faced Rin's question and replied lightly, as if it were all a mundane thing to her.

"Eh~ The concubine body remembered, that, this little stone, you are called, Rin, right?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Oops~ I really didn't expect that the little prince who was thinking about the concubine day and night was actually so cute~"

Angelica's words made Rin's back a little cold, obviously it was the first time she saw it, Angelica seemed to know something about her past, which made people think about it carefully.

Immediately afterward, Angelica continued, knowing that Rin had awakened the power of the Lawgiver of Hope, and had observed that the three of Bronya, Mei, and Elysia had been transformed into the Lawgiver, as well as the rest of the Destiny's strongest forces, had teamed up to defeat the "Dagama of Despair".

"That's why you're looking for us, right?" Bronya asked her categorically.

Angelica nodded, and continued to tell the truth about inviting them here this time:

"Because the prophecy says that you can stop the doppelgangers of the concubines in the third world, only you can do it together, so I called them all."

Although everyone is not very clear about Angelica's true power as a "tolerant lord", Rin knows that with the character of this "Miss Angelica", if she really asks her, she will answer truthfully.

Like their names, each Celestial has a similar trait to what they call them, Angelica is "tolerant", meaning that she is basically unwary of anyone.

"How are we going to get to the Third World? Saying...... We don't need to go to such a dangerous other world to help her, do us? ”

Ciel reacted and said truthfully.

However, at the moment when Ciel said this, Angelica suddenly turned around as if she had been electrocuted, and her face was still with that smile, but it made people look a little frightened.

"That's not going to work, kids, since you're all here, do me a favor by the way."

I saw Angelica raise her finger slightly, and Xi'er's whole person flew towards the sky as if she was out of control, sticking to the ceiling, unable to move at all.

"Oh yes~ It's clear that the concubine is such a good god, you know, mortals can only follow the instructions of the 'gods'?"

When everyone saw Angelica attacking Ciel, they took out their weapons to fight them, but Angelica just stared at them, and they couldn't do anything.

"Then, before you agree to the request of the concubine, please think about it."

After a snap of their fingers, the crowd lost consciousness.

*Data Backtracking**Virtual Network Interface Failure**Restart*

"What!"

Just when Rin realizes that something is wrong, everyone feels like they are frozen in their seats, unable to move their hands and feet, as if they are locked.

Bronya tried to drive the Lawgiver Core in her body, but found that it didn't work at all, and the Lawgiver Core seemed to be out of order, unable to respond to her call at all.

"Oh, don't be so excited, the concubine body has indeed deceived you, there is no plan for 'joint disaster relief' at all, sorry, sorry."

"What do you want to do?"

Rin asked Angelica with an angry expression as she struggled to get up.

"I won't hurt you, don't worry, I do have a request for you this time."

"Then let us go." Ciel said calmly.

Angelica just said "yes" happily, and then snapped her fingers so that everyone could breathe smoothly.

"I'm grass, this is too ...... It's horrible......" Jack lay on the ground in shock, remembering what had just happened to him.

Just as Jack said this, Rin suddenly realized something, and some non-existent images appeared in his mind.

In his flickering memory, he saw Ciel being thrown to the ceiling by Angelica, saying things like, "If you don't help me, keep thinking about it."

"Wait, Angelica...... I promise...... Not ......"

When Angelica noticed that there was something wrong with Rin's consciousness, she walked up to him softly, squatted down, and looked at him with her face in front of him.

"Oh, the '854th', that's interesting...... Finally someone reacted. ”

"Before that, you rejected me 854 times, and the request for a concubine was so unpopular? Dear, lovely and small sons of men? ”

Seeing Angelica's unusual behavior, everyone instantly felt a headache, and in their minds, the image of Angelica asking them to go to the third world and then being rejected repeatedly surfaced.

Among them, Bronya's reaction was the most violent, and she had gone through hundreds of times just by repeatedly recalling the memory of Ciel being knocked to the ceiling.

She hurriedly resisted the feeling that she was about to vomit and covered her mouth.

"So, the concubine is going to get your answer now."

Everyone had no choice, and under Angelica's such weird and terrifying power, everyone had no choice but to give up, and they all said that they wanted to help Angelica.

"That's great! In order to celebrate the alliance between the concubine and you, the concubine will prepare a rich 'human luncheon' for everyone such cute 'pebbles'? ”

Angelica clapped her hands happily, and then lifted the mental power exerted on everyone, allowing them to regain their mobility.

Bronya wanted to rebel against this tolerant lawgiver, although she knew that every Heavenly Saint-level lawgiver had powers and powers far beyond the fourteen lawgivers of the Genesis Star, but she didn't want to just become Angelica's pawn and be at the mercy of others.

"It's useless to resist me, Miss Lawyer...... It's not just you, it's even the 'end' of the Fourteen Laws of Creation, I can turn her into powder with just one finger? ”

By the time she reacted, she was already helping Angelica in the kitchen, with various ingredients in front of her, and even a kitchen knife in her right hand.

She had no memory of picking up a kitchen knife, and she was already in the kitchen from the time she was thinking about how to resist Angelica.

So, the memories of coming to Angelica's house with everyone...... Where did it go?

"Take a closer look, Miss Li's expression in a daze is really cute~ The little one is really cute."

"I'll help you with the ingredients, Miss Angelica."

Bronya endured Angelica's banter as she cut various ingredients in the kitchen according to Angelica's instructions.

When she noticed that there was a plant on the table that looked like grass, and it looked like an onion, and the base of the root was tinged with a little blue.

"This is called 'shallot', which is an ingredient that the gamma people used to use to make seasonings, and today you are really lucky, you can eat the dishes I used to like to make~ Cute 'little stone'?"

Bronya was not in the mood to listen to Angelica, she knew that Angelica was such a terrible saint, she should have been on guard early, otherwise how could she take such a big risk and deal with some ingredients for Angelica that she had never seen?

When the dishes in the kitchen were served, although the dishes she had made were full of aroma, everyone was in no mood to eat.

The youngest Valkyrie in Xi'er's troops, B-class Valkyrie Abigail Williams, sat at the table in a daze, as if she wanted to cry.

"Don't be afraid, Abi, hold me tight if you're afraid." Ciel whispered to her.

And Abigail, in order to reassure the captain, wiped his tears and pretended to be strong and said that he was not afraid.

"Oops~ The concubine won't hurt you, cute little stone, don't worry, ...... You're so cute~"

Angelica tried to touch Abigail's cheek with her hand, but Abigail just instinctively shrank back, leaving Angelica at a loss.

"Okay, I admit that I was a little rude to you before, and this meal should be compensated by the concubine for you...... Please enjoy it, please don't leave it behind, otherwise the concubine will feel a headache? ”

Seeing that everyone didn't dare to take the lead in moving the chopsticks, Angelica was the first to pick up the chopsticks in front of her, demonstratively picked up a piece of stewed beef, and sent it to her mouth.

"Mmmm~ It's delicious, everyone, please eat?"

Everyone present was afraid to be the first to eat Angelica's food, and a few minutes later, with trepidation, Rin decided to be the first to test the poison.

Captain, if I'm poisoned, please help me ergo a better monument. That's what he thought at this point.

Unexpectedly, this cauldron dish called "Snow Garden Stew" was unexpectedly delicious.

"Huh? The smell is fantastic, the stew is fragrant and fresh, and there is a special floral smell...... It's amazing. ”

Rin who tasted the snow garden stew couldn't help but admire.

Seeing that nothing happened to Rin after eating the food, everyone began to pick up the dishes and chopsticks in front of them and scrambled to pick up the dishes on the table.

Half an hour later, when the meal was finished, everyone marveled at Angelica's craftsmanship and couldn't stop admiring it.

"It's really good to suit everyone's taste, although some of the hospitality is not good, but everyone should be full~ If it's not enough, the concubine can do more?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Angelica, but we suspect you have poisoned the food."

Ciel apologized to Angelica for her rude gesture.

"The concubine body will not do such a thing, after all, if you want to kill you, the concubine body has at least a thousand methods, and using this method to kill people is not the style that the concubine likes?"

Although Angelica's words are a bit scary, everyone is sure that Angelica is not their enemy, temporarily.

"So, the concubine will take you around Nanyang City, right? How? ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

So, under the leadership of Angelica, before accepting Angelica's commission, everyone came to the most prosperous commercial street in Nanyang City, which was sheltered by the Arcstar Church, and began to go shopping.

During this time, Angelica introduced a lot of things about Nanyang City, and it can be seen from her expression that she really likes the humans of Nanyang City, and every time she says a word to them, Angelica will show a kind smile.

Ciel was the first to talk to Angelica:

"I remember that the content in the "Ten Heavenly Saints" is all about the trials given by the Heavenly Saints to human beings...... We have passed the 'Trial of Despair' of Vagama, so here are you? ”

"Woo ~ deceitful, may I ask which gentleman is the author of the work that Xiao Shizi said? If I have the chance, I want to reason with the original author of this book? ”

"It seems that not all Celestial Saints are evil, right, Bronya?"

When Ciel was chatting with Angelica about Walter Young's The Ten Heavenly Sayings, she didn't forget to ask her sister Bronya for some opinions.

Bronya didn't answer Ciel, just glanced at her and continued to shop for local clothes to take home. She means, "It's better not to let your guard down too much", but Ciel doesn't quite understand what Bronya means, and continues to pick out the clothes in the store under Angelica's leadership.

"Oh, you actually think that this practice is 'evil', hehe~ I'm sorry, the concubine doesn't agree with your statement, cute little pebble~ If you think these 'trials' are evil, then this kind of behavior can only be said to be evil to you humans, is this right?"

"Everyone's position is different, for those of us who have gone through tens of millions of reincarnations without knowing it...... This kind of behavior is just, after all, our duty is to eliminate the unstable factors on the tree that threatens imaginary numbers, and it is our job to prune the branches in time. ”

After Angelica finished her understanding, everyone became more and more aware of Angelica's opinion, but Walter Young's "Ten Heavenly Saints" describes the tolerant Heavenly Sage, who is a very paranoid and cruel and ruthless being.

"So, be forgiving Lord Lord, can you bless Mo Manlei to pass the examination for a full nun?"

As soon as Mo Manlei's words were spoken, everyone present was as if they had imposed a group silence, and they didn't know where to start complaining about her.

"By the way, Sister Mo Manlei has failed several times?" Xing asked her with a glance.

She immediately replied, "The third time." ”

Angelica didn't speak, just looked at the lovely little nun with a subtle expression of her aunt's smile, no matter how Mo Manlei asked Angelica to bless herself, Angelica just looked at her with a smile, probably not knowing how to answer.

After a long time, she slowly spoke: "Hehe~ If that's the case, Sister Mo Manlei, you may have to make up for it." ”

I saw her walk up to Mo Manlei and lift Mo Manlei off the ground like a chicken, letting her dance her little feet in the air, but Angelica didn't mean to let go at all.

"I'm sorry, everyone, today's escort concubine can't be accompanied in person~ Please let the concubine go back to accompany the little nun for some tutoring."

After that, in the bewildered expressions of everyone, Angelica walked out of the clothing store with Mo Manlei in her hand.

"Anyway...... In terms of paranoia, Miss Tolerance is very much in line with the description in the book. ”

"I agree."

Jack and Javi, who were watching from the sidelines, sighed at the archbishop of the Arc Star Church.

She was a "kind eccentric", and everyone's first impression was that way.

Third World - White World - Land of Tranquility - A small village in the unknown

"Have the sisters been here today? I'm so hungry. ”

"It's okay, brother will help you go outside and find something to eat."

In a small, dilapidated house in a small village covered in white flocculent snowflakes, a young girl is begging her brother for some food.

Heavy snow had been falling in the village for a whole week, and after the nuns of the local Arcstar Church had instructed the residents not to go out, some residents were still starving to death in their homes due to lack of food. The food supply that the Arc Star Church can give is very small, which is also what the nuns get by distributing the rest of the rations to the villagers under the premise of putting up with nothing to eat.

When the young man walks out of the room, he puts on heavy snow boots, which are said to protect his knees from getting his body covered with snow and thus contracting the disease of collapse and crystallization.

Before the nuns came here to clear the snow, he saw that as soon as the snow stopped, he walked on the thick snow with great difficulty.

This snow is all done by Angelica, who caused a cataclysm in this world that almost destroyed the entire ecological environment, and reduced the population living on the earth in the third world to about 10% of the original amount.

"My sister hasn't eaten for a whole day, and after I gave her my own bread, there was no food left at home."

Walking through the snowy streets, the person he finds is the current nun of the Third World Arc Church, Sister Fucaroran Arokayi.

This Sister Fukaroran is one of the twenty long-term nuns of the Arc Star Church, and she is in charge of some of the power of the Lord's tolerance in the Arc Star Church, and the power she holds is called "Temperance", and the form and content of the power are unknown.

"Xiu, how is Alena? I'll think of something, now that it's snowing so much, please don't go out casually, if the 'Angel of Punishment' appears......"

Before Sister Flocaroran could finish speaking, a terrible scream came from the sky, like the cries of birds and antelopes, which lifted their spirits involuntarily.

"You go quickly, Xiu, I'll deal with those monsters."

"Hmm."

The deformed monsters, known as the "Angels of Punishment", are a type of Honkai Aberration, transformed from humans infected by Angelica.

What appeared in front of Sister Fucaroran was the lowest of them, an elder's angel-like shining wings, but her body resembled that of a gargoyle, which was relatively easy to deal with.

With a wave of her right hand, a flickering whip blade was summoned into her hand. As she saw the gargoyles fall from the sky towards her, baring their claws and lunging at her, she simply swung her weapon and the heads of the two gargoyles fell to the snow, and their corpses turned into starlight and disappeared into the snow.

"Are you alright? Repair. Sister Flocaroran hurriedly stepped forward to check on Xiu's condition.

At this time, Xiu had already fallen into the snow, and the parts of his body that touched the snowflakes had already shown signs of being eroded by the Honkai, and those skin parts began to show an abnormal blue color, which was gradually eroding his body.

People living in the Third World are in a very miserable situation, and if they do not have the adaptability of Honkai, then they will not be able to contact the "snowflakes" that can be seen everywhere on this land, and they need to be protected by these "nuns" who have Honkai adaptation.

Sister Fucarus is the same age as Xiu, and she is also Xiu's childhood sweetheart, and after Fucarus was chosen to become a nun, she still cares about Xiu like a relative.

"I'm sorry, Flocaroran...... I'm so useless, if I can walk in the snow like you......"

"What stupid things are you talking about? Who do you think I'm for...... Forget it, I'll take you to get a shot, or you'll be a monster in no time. ”

Xiu's body couldn't move, and Fucaroran could only carry Xiu on her back, take him to remove the snow little by little, and walk in the direction of the Arcstar Church.

The archchurch of the Arc Church in the Third World stands on a towering mountain, in the sanctuary known as the "Place of Tolerance", where it is surrounded by snowy clouds all year round, and there is no way for ordinary people who do not have the ability to adapt to Honkai to get there.

A branch of the Arc Star Church is at the bottom of the mountain, and in order to be able to help the affected residents in time, they have set up a temporary aid station here to help these humans who have not adapted to collapse.

"Oh, Sister Flocaroran, may the Lord of forgiveness bless you."

They were received by a bespectacled nun named Lydi Puenisus, who held a power called "Pope".

Sister Ludi, who is usually in charge of medical care, is a very serious person, although she is also a good hand at treating snowflake infections, but she is usually more responsible for intelligence management and control of the affected areas.

"Sister Sister Lu Di, Xiu accidentally touched the xenomorph white phosphorus, please deal with it for him."

However, Sister Rudy just looked at Fucaroran in front of her, showing a very serious expression, she was the older of the nuns, and she was also a very dignified nun.

"Who let him go out at will? Sister Flocaroran, isn't that you? ”

"No...... He came out randomly, please......"

"Hmph, if everyone in the village is running around like him, then what will you let me do? It's tiring enough to deal with the daily susceptibility of residents, and I'm also in charge of developing a vaccine for 'xenophosphor'...... Next time, if you do it again, throw him out into the wilderness. ”

The "xenomorphic white phosphorus" in their mouths is the official name of these snowflakes, and after the "trial of tolerance", these extremely low temperatures, snowflake-like collapse pollutants fill the entire earth, fill the entire third world earth's oceans, and freeze the entire earth.

Sister Ludi, who was treating Xiu's wounds, also muttered about Fucaroran from time to time, saying that although Fucaroran had grown up with Xiu since she was a child, Xiu did not have any adaptability, which caused him to be restricted everywhere he wanted to do anything.

In today's Third World, most of the men who do not have Honkai adaptability are discriminated against very severely, so much so that most of the staff in the Arcstar Church are nuns with strong Honkai adaptability.

Except for her childhood sweetheart, Fu Carolan, no one can afford to look down on poor Xiu, because of this disaster, he lost all his family's Xiu, and it is very likely that he will die silently after a heavy snowfall.

After taking care of Xiu's injuries, Sister Ludi specially pulled Fucaroran aside and persuaded her to only care about her own affairs, because a waste like Xiu would die one day, and she would suffer if she only cared about her children's personal affairs.

"It's not a waste to fix him! Sister Ludy, I advise you to be mindful of your words and actions! ”

Fcaroran was furious, for her, Xiu was not only the person she cherished the most, but also her only reliance in the Third World.

"Oh? Sister Flocaroran wants some penance, doesn't she? I'm saying it for your own good, Sister Flocaroran, and besides...... Don't you think it's an unwise choice to go against me, who holds a high position of power? ”

"Please stop repairing and being a waste!"

"What about speaking out? Sister Flocaroran, you're still young, and surviving in this world is the number one priority, isn't it? ”

Although Fucaroran knew that Sister Ludi was telling the truth, she still couldn't rest assured that her childhood sweetheart, and after Sister Ludi left, she was very worried about taking care of the unconscious Xiu.

After preliminarily confirming Xiu's condition, she found that he had not only passed out from a coma due to the infection of xenomorphic white phosphorus, but also hunger and fatigue, which seemed to have tormented him for a long time during this time.

She closed her eyes, clasped her hands on her chest, and prayed for Xiu.

"Be merciful, O Lord, and set us free from this wretched world."

"This cruel world...... I don't want to stay for a second......"
