Man is the original god, the lawer of reason

"...Because you were waiting for me?"

Chen Luo pondered.

"That's right. I want to see what kind of existence is the person who changed Barbatos and Morax's mind and solved the crisis of Inazuma and Sumeru."

From the first time Piero presented relevant information, she became interested.

That's why she sent [girl] Columbia, the fairy singer who accompanied her the longest and also her best friend, to Xumi to find Chenluo.

That's why she didn't agree to the cooperation request proposed by the master of the Abyss Religion in person, but put it aside for the time being.

"...In other words, if I can come up with a plan and plan that satisfy you, you will give up Zhiwinter's original plan and refuse to cooperate with the Abyssal Order. Can I understand that?"

On the other hand, if Chen Luo fails to convince the Queen of Ice here, Zhidong will cooperate with Abyss and attack Tianli together.

"You don't have the qualifications to explain to me yet."

Bronya's tone changed.

"Concepts and methods are important, but before that - you need to prove your strength first."

No matter how noble and sacred a concept without power to endorse, it is nothing but a castle in the air, and it will be broken at the touch of a touch. Bronya has already experienced it, so she understands this truth very well.

"If you can't show your strength, I won't listen to you."

"... How do you prove it, fight a game?"

It's not impossible to fight... although he doesn't really want to fight the ice queen.

"Come forward, step towards me, and prove to me... your awareness and strength."

Bronya raised her hand slightly, the power of the ice was released, and the steps between her and Chen Luo were covered with frost, and the power of extreme cold condensed on the not-so-long steps.

"If you want me to listen to your words and get assistance and help from Zhidong, then come to me and come to me."

In this palace, being close is the absolute domain of the Ice Queen, and every time one gets closer to her, the oppression of the extremely cold domain will become stronger.

The level one can reach represents Chen Luo's strength and awareness.

The person named [Kong] was almost in front of the Queen of Winter, showing his strength enough, so Bronya would choose to listen to his plan.

"……I understand."

Chen Luo nodded.

This is the test given to him by the Ice Queen, but at least it is better than direct combat.

"Ying, you are the same as Paimon, go to my theater, it's safe there."

Chen Luo turned her head and said to the traveler.

She came here to track down the whereabouts of her blood relatives, and she had already got the answer from Bronya, the Queen of Ice. The purpose of this trip was considered complete.

Therefore, there is no need for her to stay here any longer.

"But……"

Just standing here can already feel the bone-chilling cold, if you continue to move forward...

She was a little worried about Chen Luo's safety.

"I'll be fine, this Queen of Ice is more reasonable than expected."

After sending Ying away, Chen Luo turned around, faced the long frosty ladder, and started his own challenge.

The Ice Queen has lived here for an unknown number of years, and the ice elemental power and Honkai accumulated here are much more terrifying than Chen Luo imagined.

If this level of energy is used as an attack method to False Sky, I am afraid that it will not be able to directly blast a hole in the shell...

And Chen Luo is now heading towards the place with the strongest energy density, that is, the side of the Ice Queen.

Chen Luo started to take steps and walked up the steps.

With every step up, the cold ice applied to the whole body from all around becomes more and more violent. This is the ultimate power of the Herrscher of Ice, and it is also the background of the God of Ice.

Although Chen Luo couldn't ignite a flame like the Herrscher of Flame to counteract the ice, there were still many ways to fight against the cold.Soul steel, shield, Liufeng and Thunder body, many means work together to help Chen Luo continue to move towards the end of the steps.

Although the process was difficult, he still came to the end of the steps and stood in front of the queen.

However, at the top of the steps, a short distance from the Ice Queen, he stopped.

It wasn't because his strength had reached the limit, and he wouldn't show timidity in front of the Ice Queen if he simply competed for strength, but because he was keenly aware that the last short distance was different from the steps he walked before.

"...This is not pure cold."

"..."

Bronya was silent, she had indeed lied.

At the end of the steps is the limit that can be reached by pure strength.To move forward and get closer to her on the throne, what is needed is not only great strength, but also... the same will as hers.

Last time, the young master of the abyss just reached the end of the steps, and could no longer move forward.

The flame burning on his body can indeed compete with the ice, but that's all. He is not much stronger than himself as the Queen of Ice.

If it was him 500 years ago, he might be able to break through the last bit of blockade and reach the side of the ice queen, but the him 500 years later, his eyes are only burning with anger blinded by the past.

The person 500 years later has no great love in his heart, and only thinks about revenge.

...This is the reason why the Ice Queen refused to cooperate.

Her purpose is to save the world, but that one's purpose has nothing to do with the world itself, but pure revenge.

Therefore, it is impossible to really get close to her side.

The few steps closest to the Ice Queen are not the barrier formed by the ice, but the world of her mind.

If you want to enter the unreserved and frank spiritual space, you will naturally be able to integrate into the same open spiritual space.

...That would be tantamount to handing over her own life to the hands of the Ice Queen. If she did that, it would be easy for her to freeze her soul.

No matter how you think about it, this is a very risky thing, so that one stopped here.

So, sure enough...

Sure enough, he still took a step forward and continued to move forward.

The spiritual spaces are integrated into each other, even with the power of the law of consciousness, it is difficult to resist the bone-piercing ice gushing from the depths of the soul.

Little by little, as if... no, it is true that even the soul will be frozen.

The ice climbed onto the body, paralyzing the soul, making it extremely difficult to even take a step.

In the end, it seems that even time and space have been frozen.

Slowly propping a hand that was already shaped like an ice sculpture on the queen's throne, Chen Luo reluctantly lowered his head at a slower speed, looking down at the Zhidong empress who was sitting upright below.

In this way, it is probably a success.

He originally wanted to open his lips to declare his victory... But no matter whether it was physical or spiritual, he could no longer continue to speak.

Both soul and body have reached freezing point, and he is losing control over this body.

It's hard to maintain even a handsome posture, he was about to fall.

However, before he completely lost consciousness, he seemed to vaguely hear the Ice Queen in front of him speaking in a gentle tone——

"...Please, come into my arms."

........................

Just as the most dangerous place is the safest place, the coldest place may be the warmest place.

To melt the bitter cold accumulated on the short few steps, the only way to resolve it is to rely on the personal contact of the Ice Queen.

"He does resemble her."

Columbia leaned on the side of the throne, talking softly.

"Don't you think so, Bronya?"

"……Um."

Bronya looked down at the man nestled in her arms, raised her head slightly, closed her eyes, and seemed to have made a certain decision.

As long as she is fighting for this world, her plan can indeed be changed, and the power of fools can indeed be used by others, but there is a premise.

Unless, that person can endure the grief of the whole world with her.

Unless, that person has a burning desire in his heart to accept her endless bitter cold.

"Columbia."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Let Piero... expel the apostles of the Abyss Cult."

"Yes, Your Majesty... Then, what about him?"

The ice that freezes the soul is not so easy to thaw. It will take some time for Chen Luo, who has been frozen into an ice sculpture, to recover from the ice.

"I haven't returned to the surface for a long time... I will take him back to my bedroom until he wakes up."

Chapter 12 Inter-Chapter·Domination Theater

In a domination theater.

"Huh... just put these devices in this position, Prometheus?"

The white-haired girl held a huge device that was completely disproportionate to her size, and placed it in a corner of the dominant theater.

"Well, it's there, just put it away, thank you, Teresa."

The projection of the silver-haired girl appeared beside Teresa. After confirming the installation location of the device, Teresa put the device down.

Although she could have directly projected the device here, in order to do something for Teresa who was angry and ran in, she chose to ask her to help carry it here.

"Speaking of which, what are these devices used for? I see that you have been in charge of constructing these strange devices in the theater for a while..."

"Well...the scientific name of these devices is quantum stability devices, which can stabilize the characteristics of the space. The specific principle is..."

During this period of time, she has been busy installing this steady-state device at various space nodes that dominate the theater, and the knowledge of how to construct this device naturally comes from the library of the Void Man Zang.

"Stop, stop, stop, I don't understand the principles you're talking about, just tell me what the function of this device is."

Teresa covered her ears, not listening, and the monk chanted scriptures, but she couldn't understand it anyway.

"To put it simply...it is a device that can keep the Dominion Theater in a stable state for a certain period of time after falling into the quantum sea."

Prometheus pondered for a while, then changed into words that Teresa could understand.

"Falling into the sea of ​​quantum? But shouldn't that happen here?"

Teresa asked strangely.

The Domination Theater floats in the upper space of Tivat with the help of the core of the Domination Herrscher, unless violent space fluctuations cause its space to collapse and fall into the sea, or...

"...Just like the special erosion virus before, this is also one of the plans, I hope I won't use it."

The silver-haired girl couldn't help but smile when she said this.

"Ah, ah, you still mentioned that virus! Chen Luo must have done it on purpose, why must that virus have to be made into my appearance!"

Thinking of the "Deli silly virus", Delisa stomped her feet angrily.

"I think it's quite cute... Ah, Xier and Zhen are back."

In the induction of Prometheus, Lei Dianzhen and the two Xi'er who ran out to Zhidong with Chen Luo before came back.

"Why did you come back?"

Near the body of the silver-haired girl, the three just landed.

"Hmph, that guy drove us back, I'm afraid he wants to go in and be alone with those women."

As soon as Hei Xier stood firm, she took the lead in attacking and began to vomit bitterness.

"Ahaha... Xi'er, don't say that. After all, it's really cold in there. If Brother Chen Luo wants to take care of a few of us, it will be more difficult..."

Bai Xi'er tried to explain to Chen Luo.

"Hey, Xi'er, you still protect him after he's like this!"

Hei Xier interrupted Bai Xier's words in dissatisfaction, causing her to stand still in fright, and then the pretty faces on both sides were held by Hei Xier, and they changed into various shapes at will.

"Woo, pinch... woo woo..."
