Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 495 If you want it, you have to do it yourself...

"…So, you two started fighting over something? And you even tore down the ruins over there?"

Nero, wearing a gray apron and carrying a pile of tableware, looked at Li You and Dante, both of whom had bruises on their faces, with a look of uneasy expression.

"You're already so old, and you're still fighting over something like this..."

After hearing the whole story, Nero's eyes changed when he looked at them.

He couldn't help but press his forehead, "So they asked you two to follow me? I'm not your mother..."

Li You and Dante were originally just having a simple discussion. To be more precise, Li You was asking Dante for advice on how to use his power.

If nothing else, if he wanted to learn how to perfectly utilize his dragon-man transformation, it would be hard to find a better person to consult than the half-human, half-demon Dante.

At the same time, Li You is also very interested in Dante's combat power composition. After all, his skill tree is too complicated and he often doesn't know which path to take. So he also hopes to gain some experience from Dante, who is proficient in many combat styles.

In order to test out his own abilities, he even borrowed the Yama Sword from Nero again - of course he would not admit that he just wanted to play around.

Everything was ready, but a new problem arose: Dante was not a very good teacher.

The two discussed for a long time in the forest, but there was no progress on what Li You wanted to know. Instead, he changed the topic to the difference between magic power and demonic power, which was the topic that Dante himself was more interested in.

That's why the two of them ended up arguing...

By the time their teammates pulled the two men apart, they had already turned the nearby forest ruins into complete ruins.

Then they were sent to the city to find Nero.

"It's okay. After all, it's you two." Ji Liye, who was listening in, smiled and took off Nero's apron. "That's great. Nero, you've been busy for a long time. Go and take a rest. You may have something to say."

Nero still didn't quite understand: "Huh?"

But Ji Liye gave Li You a look and gently pushed Nero over: "Go."

"...Okay, now that I have some free time, I do have some questions I want to ask." Nero turned to look at the two of them, "Shall we find a place to sit down?"

……

After a while.

The small square where Li You first met Nero was destroyed by the invading demons at the very beginning because it was located on the edge of the city. This area is not of much practical significance, so it is not on the reconstruction list, and now no one is here.

So it just so happened that at this moment, at the end of the small square, Li You and the other two set up a small table and sat facing the sea.

As usual, Li You took out the endless wine jug and poured a glass for himself and Dante. Nero wanted to drink, but Li You said, "I remember you are not yet an adult, right? You can't drink."

Nero: “?”

Dante smiled and said, "Forget it, forget it. Don't worry about it. Let this kid drink. I allow it."

"Who are you? Why is it your turn to give permission?" Nero couldn't help but complain back.

Li You did not insist. After all, he certainly could not regard Nero as a minor, so he also poured him a glass.

Dante picked up the glass and shook it. "Wine, although it's not bad, but if it was an ice dessert, such as a strawberry sundae, I would actually be more satisfied."

"Put it down if you don't want to drink it! Don't shake it!" Li You glanced at him, and Dante laughed and drank the wine in the glass.

"Oh! It tastes good!"

Li You shook his head, and Nero secretly tasted it. Then his eyes lit up and he took another big bite.

"...By the way, Li You." After taking a sip of wine, Nero seemed to be much more energetic and said, "I never had the chance to ask you before, who are you? Why do you and your companions have so many strange abilities?"

"Let's get straight to the point." Li You smiled. "Indeed, I haven't explained it well before... It's actually very simple. I come from another world."

Nero's eyes widened at that moment: "Huh?"

Li You's idea was not sudden. Dante had already seen that he was not from this world. So he didn't need to hide too many things in front of Nero.

Of course, he would definitely hide the most important ones.

"The power that my companions and I possess is different from the system of this world, because we live in a different worldview. There is no such thing as the Demon World over there."

Li You took a sip of wine and briefly explained his and Yuzu's abilities: "...So it's normal for you to be surprised. Everything in this world is also new to us."

Nero was very surprised, but he looked at Dante who was calm beside him, and managed to control his expression and asked, "You are not surprised at all... You knew it a long time ago?"

Dante said casually, "Of course, I saw it the first time we met. You are still too green, kid."

"……whispering sound."

Li You did not expose Dante's pretentious behavior, but instead said: "By the way, I actually have a question to ask. If I offend you, I apologize in advance."

"——Nero, do you have any impression of your parents?"

This question made Nero silent for a long time. Dante beside him couldn't help but look at him.

"...Why are you interested in this matter?" Nero asked after a moment of silence.

"Because I am really curious about the source of your power, and I have some guesses about your background... If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to answer."

Li You could have asked Nero this question a long time ago, but for many considerations, he had delayed it until now. It just so happened that Dante was there at this time, so it was a good choice.

"No, at this point, it doesn't matter." Nero waved his hand, looking open-minded, but he still took another sip of wine before saying, "Besides, there's nothing to hide. Everyone basically knows it."

"I know nothing about my father, and as for my mother...she might be a prostitute from outside."

Li You: "?"

Dante: “???”

"what?"

Nero didn't notice that the two people's expressions were not right, and continued talking to himself.

“I was abandoned in front of an orphanage. No one knew who my parents were. Even my name came from the black cloth that wrapped me when I was abandoned. Black.

"When I was little, I couldn't accept this fact. I kept wondering why I was abandoned, but no one could tell me. As I grew up, people speculated that my mother might be a prostitute who traveled around the world.

"Because Fortuna is a very small city, the citizens almost all know each other, so when someone has a baby, no matter how hard they try to hide it from others, it is unlikely that no news will leak out. When I was picked up, there happened to be prostitutes from other places coming and going at that time...

"So this guess is not unreasonable, or it is probably the truth. But now I don't care about the identity of my parents... What's wrong with you?"

After saying this, Nero noticed that Li You and Dante looked very strange, especially Dante, who looked particularly strange. He asked as if to confirm, "Are you... sure?"

"Uh... after all, it's just the most likely guess, how can I be sure?" Nero felt puzzled. He looked at Li You again, but saw that Li You also had a puzzled look on his face, still muttering to himself: "Could it be that the woman in the CG... but it's not right either?"

"What are you talking about again?" Nero felt that the two people in front of him were particularly strange and he could not understand them at all.

Regardless of what Dante is feeling now, Li You is surprised that he clearly remembers that in the SE version of Devil May Cry IV, in the CG of Vergil's appearance, there is a female character who is attracted to him. She should be a member of the Sword Cult. For a long time, everyone generally assumed that it was Nero's mother.

But after hearing what Nero said, it doesn't seem to be the case?

"Could it be that there are some new or old settings in the book that I'm not aware of?" Li You thought.

Dante was still a little distracted, it seemed that he also felt that the information was a bit too much. Li You quickly came back to his senses and said to Nero:
"You don't care about the gossip now?"

Nero nodded: "Yeah...it's all in the past."

“When I was a kid, I would have beaten someone up if they said I was the child of a prostitute, but now I don’t care.

"Jilie, Credo, and their parents. I met them and started a new life. Although Gilie's parents passed away, Credo is still alive. They are my family.

"No matter what my body becomes, as long as Ji Liye can accept me, I will no longer be confused."

Hearing this, Li You and Dante looked at each other and reached a consensus: "In this case, I probably can tell you the news that I didn't intend to tell you now."

Nero took a sip of wine, his face full of ease: "So you two have been laying the groundwork for so long, just to prepare for this next thing? Then tell me, what is it."

Li You looked at Dante, but Dante signaled him with his eyes, asking him to speak. So Li You thought about it and said directly: "It's actually very simple. Nero, you have Spartan blood in you."

"I thought it was something else, but this...ah?" Nero was stunned. "What did you say?"

"I thought you had guessed it, but you hadn't?" Li You glanced at the dumbfounded Nero and said, "I said, you have Spartan blood in you. Yes, that legendary magic swordsman Sparta, you are his descendant."

Nero: (=°Д°=)?

"...No, wait?" He was stunned for a moment, "Me? Sparta? How is this possible..."

"What's impossible? Your right hand, your awakened demon power, do you think it came out of thin air, or that you can possess it with a Yama Sword?" Li You said.

"Whether it's the injuries caused by the demon or the power of the Yama Blade, they are just a trigger. They just awaken the potential blood power in your body."

"I am... a descendant of Sparta?" Nero's face was full of disbelief. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Dante. "That means, this person is my..."

Dante was also stunned, and then his face changed: "Don't let your imagination run wild! I don't have a son as old as you!"

Nero: "...I was going to say brother."

Dante: “…”

"Cough." Li You coughed, "Calm down, Nero. According to the information we have, you should be the grandson of Sparta, so..."

"...So, this guy is my uncle?" Nero pointed at Dante, his expression trembling.

“——I can’t accept this!!”

……

After a while, the three of them stood together on the shore, watching the rising and falling waves.

"It's normal for you to be confused when you suddenly hear this kind of news." Li You comforted Nero, "Sort out your thoughts, don't worry."

"...No, you don't understand." Nero shook his head. "Forget about the other things. If I can find my family, I will be happy...but the only thing I can't accept is that Dante is actually my elder!"

Dante on the side glanced at him and said, "Hey, hey, I'm your uncle after all, isn't it rude of you to say that?"

"See! That's why I can't accept it!" Nero almost jumped up.

Dante smiled and said, "No matter what, you are also Dad's descendant. The same bloodline connects us together. This cannot be erased. Don't struggle."

"Do not!!"

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business." Li You stopped Dante, "Nero, you now know your origins. In fact, Credo and Jillie knew it earlier."

"Girl and Credo?" Nero looked at him. "How did they..."

"Kredo guessed it from the Pope's order, and as for Jillie, I told her." Li You answered truthfully, "It is obviously better for both of you to be open about this matter."

"...That's right, sorry to bother you." Nero nodded slightly.

"That's nothing." Li You smiled, "So what are your plans next?"

After hearing his words, Nero turned around and looked at the city behind him. Although it was devastated, it was still breathing tenaciously and bursting with vitality. He said:
“Before this incident, I really didn’t like Fortuna because the local customs here are incompatible with people like me.

"But now, I want to protect this city. Because Jillie and Credo love this city and they will devote themselves to this city, so I will also love this city and will protect this place with them.

"I won't leave here, but I won't stay in the cult anymore. I'm going to open an office here, hunt demons, and protect everyone."

At this point, he paused and said, "After all, the frequency of demons appearing in Fortuna is really high."

"Very good!" Dante clapped his hands vigorously. "Very ambitious! Well, then, I will appoint you as the manager of my firm's branch in Fortuna. From now on, you will be the person in charge of this area!"

Nero subconsciously choked back: "Who do you think you are! Why should I open your branch!"

Dante smiled and said, "Because I am your elder."

“…You bastard!”

"Oh, right." Seeing that Nero was about to lose control again, Dante changed the subject and talked about something else: "What are you going to do with the gate to the demon world?"

……

In the afternoon, Li You, Dante and Nero came to the square in front of the theater gate.

The refugees who were resting had been cleared out in advance, and now there were only three of them here, and the knights of the order had formed a circle around them, blocking the believers outside. In addition, even Credo was present in person.

The reason they came here was naturally because something special was about to happen - Dante was going to destroy the gate to the demon world left by Sparta.

Standing in the small square, Dante raised his head and looked at the huge black holy monument that reached into the sky in the distance, as if he was measuring its thickness with his naked eyes.

After a moment, he smiled, turned around and stretched out his hand to Li You: "Give me the Yama Blade."

Because Dante had borrowed Nero's Yama Blade and hadn't returned it yet, he naturally went to ask him for it, but...

"If you want it, you have to come and get it yourself." Li You responded almost instinctively, "You already know this rule."

Dante: “???”
