Chapter 150 - 120: Kill It, Save It (Part 2)

The brilliant light converged on the stage, and beautiful petals descended from the sky, swirling around the high platform like a dance.

"Molly, those petals give me such a terrible, terrible feeling..."

In Molly’s arms, Daisy’s body trembled increasingly, as if the light-clad stage were a gaping, monstrous maw.

"Why hesitate and not move forward?"

Looking at the girl below the stage, the Hero seemed somewhat puzzled.

He spread his arms, his words seemingly imbued with a captivating power: "Just sing out loud, and the audience will cheer for you; just celebrate beauty, and Justice will gaze upon you!"

"Have you heard of Lady Nightingale? Justice never fails those who possess courage."

The Hero stepped off the stage, smiling as he slowly approached the two girls: "Offer everything... your voice, your dancing, your soul, and your dreams... and you will receive Justice’s recognition, gaining unprecedented power like Nightingale!"

Lady Nightingale?

Molly’s mind buzzed, and she suddenly recalled the dusty, trampled proof of departure, the brown-haired girl gritting her teeth unconsciously.

Even far from White Oak Main Island, why can’t I escape your shadow...

"Molly!" At this moment, Daisy in her arms suddenly looked up.

Despite her teary face, she made a decision at odds with her appearance: "There are too many of them. I’ll try to perform on stage first, while you take the chance to slip away!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Molly instinctively tightened her hold on her good friend.

"Listen, I have a nest of younger siblings at home; for my parents, I’m just a burden."

Daisy forcefully broke free from her friend’s embrace, her eyes red, and she interrupted softly: "If you really can escape, write to tell my parents that little Daisy has chosen to venture out to sea..."

"Ah, what a beautiful performance indeed."

The Hero’s footsteps grew closer, and he clapped his hands, interrupting Molly and Daisy’s whispers: "But I must remind you, young ladies—"

That handsome face had transformed into chaotic lines: "I can hear your whispers, you know~"

The faces of the two Fes girls instantly turned pale.

In the next moment, a furious roar erupted from behind the giant door!

"I (birds and flowers sing) your (flowery language)!! You mock Justice, you scoundrel! Get the hell away!!!"

A tooth-aching sharp sound burst forth, as a massive black claw tore the luxurious door apart!

Amidst the two Fes girls’ cries of surprise, a gigantic tail reached in, coiling around them and whisking them outside.

The audience panicked and fled, dropping their wine glasses as their figures dissipated like bubbles, while the Hero’s face darkened. He drew the Holy Sword, adorned with flourishing flowers, and slashed fiercely at the claw!

Clang!!

Sparks flew from the clash of sword and claw, with blood splattering.

The deep black claw was severed at the joint by Justice’s sharp blade, and a displeased grunt sounded from beyond the door. The claw vanished from the Hero’s sight, leaving behind a shattered door.

·

The massive tail tossed the two girls to the ground, and they nimbly straightened up.

Molly and Daisy quickly looked up, and in the next moment, they both instinctively arched their backs, emitting a threatening sound: "Awoo-hah—"

The pitch-black beast, as large as a mountain, paid no heed to the two naive Cat Girls.

He licked his furry, injured paw, then bent down, his huge feline head moving close to sniff at the startled Daisy.

"Thank you for saving us..."

Molly bristled, gritting her teeth and mustering the courage: "Why do you have the ears and tail of the Fes people?"

"Hmph! Such impudence, you little imps! Show some respect!"

A cold male voice echoed next to them, as the giant black cat raised his head to rebuke: "I might just be your ancestor!"

"An... Ancestor!" Daisy was taken aback again.

The ultimate predator stepped forward, encircling the two girls with elegant strides.

"Skin and bones, cowardly as mice, and without decent claws..."

His words were blunt: "As the revered Beastman Race, how have you fallen to such a pitiful state?"

Beastman Race?

"I’m very sorry; I still don’t quite understand what you’re saying..."

Molly cautiously observed the giant beast’s sleek black fur: "Could you please tell me where we are? What just happened?"

"Tsk, you don’t even know the basics. How did you end up here? This is the realm of Justice!"

The black cat stared intently at the two Fes girls who had been blasted into fluff balls, its tone becoming impatient: "What else happened? The concept of Justice is being polluted by Ouroboros, can’t you see that?!"

Molly and Daisy exchanged a glance, their expressions bewildered.

Seeing this, the black cat squinted its eyes, its expression growing increasingly anxious.

It continued to lick its front paws, as various beautiful flowers slowly and maliciously emerged from its wounds every moment.

"Forget it, just tell me directly."

It asked coldly, "Which God is sheltering you now?"

Molly and Daisy’s gaze remained blank.

"You’ve forgotten Them?"

The black cat suddenly froze, its steps finally becoming chaotic, its fur puffed up in a large circle, and its tail began to swish back and forth.

This time, it exploded with fur.

"Damn it... damn it! You were once the eyes of Justice, His ears, the scales in His hand, and the sharp blade!"

"Whether shadow assassin or arbiter, only you can find Him, only you can hear His true wishes, still don’t understand?"

The pitch-black head suddenly drooped down.

It glared angrily at the two Fes people, its pure golden vertical pupils turning into a dangerous line: "Tell me! What exactly are you proficient at now?"

"Does singing count, Ancestor?"

Daisy uneasily flicked her tricolored tail: "Actually, Molly and I have always wanted to become big stars like Lady Nightingale..."

"Justice never needed any damn performances!!"

The giant beast roared instantly: "Those are all Beauty God’s tricks! You should offer swords to Him! Then kill Him! Save Him! Both Giants and the sun can give their all for civilization! So many years have passed... what exactly are we Beastman Race doing?!"

"I told you! We don’t understand what you’re talking about!"

At this moment, Molly clenched her teeth, standing in front of her partner, loudly interrupting the big cat’s words: "And Daisy and I are Fes people, not any Beastman Race!"

Silence descended.

The pair of fierce and crazed vertical pupils gradually turned bewildered.

It looked dazedly at the ears and tails of the two girls, as if looking at extremely unfamiliar monsters.

"Fes... Fes..."

Under the tense gaze of Molly and Daisy, the giant beast muttered incredulously.

"So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is... Haha... Hahahahaha!!"

A hoarse and manic laugh erupted from its throat: "Failed, failed, failed, failed! So everyone failed!!"

"But They also succeeded, also succeeded..."

The big cat’s voice gradually lowered: "You are just remnants, because They can only reshape remnants, this is all They have left..."

"I’m sorry, I wrongly accused you."

It actually lowered its head, despondently apologizing sincerely to the two girls: "Newborn children can’t bear such heavy responsibilities."

Molly caught the confusion and sadness in the giant beast’s eyes.

"You just saved me and Daisy’s lives, I shouldn’t have lashed out at you."

She stepped forward slightly, gently smoothing the fur on the black cat’s forehead: "Can I help you?"

"Stay and talk with me, help me smooth my fur... never mind! I’ll soon shoo you away!"

The black cat curled up its body, slowly closed its eyes: "Go, and don’t come back, you just need to live safely, living one more second is earning one more second..."

"What is your name, Ancestor?"

Daisy timidly asked.

"It doesn’t matter anymore, none of it matters anymore, anyway, the hope of the old era has completely vanished."

The giant beast muttered bewilderedly.

"I am the last gravekeeper of Justice, but rest assured,"

The voice of the Angel lowered, as if comforting Molly and Daisy, or perhaps comforting itself: "Even if Justice is not a God, Beauty God cannot swallow Him..."

The tail swept across.

Before the path collapsed and consciousness floated, Molly heard that sigh once again.

"From now on, who can protect you..."
