Chapter 31 The Plan to Deal with the Black God
"But is it really okay for you to tell me this?"
"This must be the most important secret in your heart."
Linghua's expression turned serious again. She was somewhat touched by Lan Su's trust in her, which allowed him to tell her such an important secret.
Without hesitation, Lan Su blurted out, "I believe you!"
Linghua felt uneasy, worried that she would betray Lan Su's trust, and kept doubting herself, "You trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I'll tell my brother? What if I..."
Lan Su countered, "Aren't you afraid that the memories I'm transmitting to you are all fabricated?"
"I believe you!" Just like Lan Su's answer, Linghua gave her answer without any hesitation.
"Whether it was when we faced the God of Water, or when we faced Lan Yu in the Book of Destruction, you risked your life to stand by my side."
"In my heart, you are the most important person, and that will never change!"
Lan Su's words struck Linghua's most tender spot as she gazed at his earnest and handsome face.
His face was filled with emotion, and his body subconsciously leaned forward towards Lan Su.
"And what about me, Lord Lansu? Isn't Az the most important person to you?!"
Just as the atmosphere between the two was becoming increasingly ambiguous, Azuna's aggrieved and dissatisfied voice broke the ambiguity between them, and the two subconsciously separated.
The two then noticed that there was another person named Yaz in the room. Linghua awkwardly combed her long hair at her temples, and blushed slightly.
"Ahem, Azu is definitely one of the most important people to me too!"
Lan Su coughed awkwardly, composed himself, and smiled at Yaz.
A sly glint flashed in Yaz's eyes as he stepped forward and grabbed Lan Su's arm. "Hehe! I knew Lord Lan Su wouldn't forget me!"
…………
In the afternoon, the two sat in the living room after finishing lunch.
Linghua's expression turned serious. "Since the Holy Master is truly a traitor within the organization, what should we do next? And my brother, he won't believe us unless we produce concrete evidence."
Ryoga Kamishiro has shouldered the heavy responsibility of his family since childhood, and he values the family's honor and mission very much.
If he knew that the Holy Lord of Truth whom he was loyal to was actually a traitor, he would inevitably be devastated and heartbroken. However, Lan Su believed that Ryoga Kamishiro would definitely stand on the right side!
"Don't worry, I've already considered that."
Lan Su was about to explain his plan to Linghua, but he stopped himself at the last second.
He brought Linghua Yaz into the Narak space. Although he could sense others spying on him, there might be other spying methods that he could not detect.
"Is this your dimensional space where you can store things? Wasn't it inaccessible before?"
Linghua knew that Lansu possessed a spatial ability, but she had not previously had the ability to enter it.
Lan Su nodded. "Yes, it evolved after defeating the God of Water."
"Is this the fantasy book that the Demon King gave you?"
When Linghua saw the Omaguchi Descent Record floating in the space, she was curious and wanted to touch it, but she was shaken away by the energy emitted by the Omaguchi Descent Record.
"Linghua!" Lan Su stepped forward to check on Linghua's condition. He hadn't had this reaction when he first came across the book.
"I'm fine."
Linghua shook her head slightly, looking at the Tale of the Descent of the Demon in astonishment.
Seeing that Linghua was alright, Lan Su reached out and picked up the Record of the Descent of the Demon, and the previous situation did not occur.
"When I was a child, I heard from my elders that some books have their own consciousness, and people who do not approve of them cannot use or even touch them."
Linghua guessed that this book was probably of the same type.
"Let's get back to what we were talking about. What are your plans? And is there anything I can do to help you?"
Linghua didn't care about the little incident just now; she was only happy that Lan Su possessed such great power.
"it is good."
Lan Su nodded and slowly explained his previous plan.
"Do you remember the passage we went through yesterday?"
Linghua asked, somewhat puzzled, "I remember, what's wrong?"
Lan Su: "Lan Yu and I arrived at the location where the catalog was stored and retrieved it, but we still put it back where it was."
Linghua: "Why is that?"
Lan Su: "That was originally the table of contents of the Book of Creation. If Lan Yu and I take it, we will also be assimilated into the story of this world, and then we will become even more passive."
"Is this world destined for destruction...?"
Linghua saw the world's ultimate destruction through Lan Su's memories. Although she was eventually saved by Touma, the world was destroyed.
"Every story has an end, and the world was destroyed because the story of the Book of Creation had been turned to its last page."
"And Touma is the one chosen to continue the story."
"I once thought about uniting all forces to defeat Megiddo and the Lord of Truth, but that wouldn't change the fate of the world, and would only make the future more uncontrollable."
"Therefore, Feiyu is truly essential, otherwise this world will disappear. I may be able to protect you alone from disappearing, but I cannot protect everyone in the world."
Although Lan Su is not a saint, he wants to do what he can within his power.
Even after truly hearing that her world was merely a creation of a book, Linghua still found it hard to accept. "Then what do we do next?"
"From now on, we just need to guide the story toward the best possible ending."
"Don't overthink it. Someone once said, as long as people remember Kamen Rider, as long as people need Kamen Rider, then Kamen Rider will never disappear!"
"This same statement applies to our world!"
Seeing Linghua looking somewhat lost, Lan Su offered words of comfort.
Linghua rallied her spirits. "Yes! Let's work together to keep this world going!"
"The Lord of Truth intends to combine the power of eleven holy swords, plus the power of nineteen special fantasy books, to restore the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence and recreate a world filled with war."
"Do you remember Sophia, whom you captured? I left a recording device on her. Whenever the Holy Lord talks to her, it will be recorded."
"Furthermore, if Sophia doesn't gather any evidence, I will rescue her and allow her to return to consolidate the power of the Northern District swordsmen to fight against the Holy Lord."
"The Four Sages are probably already dead by the Holy Lord. Once the swordsmen of the North District confirm this, they will naturally follow Sophia's orders."
Lan Su informed Linghua of some of his upcoming plans, emphasizing guidance rather than direct intervention.
He also understood what Decade had told him before: recklessly interfering with the world's original trajectory involves too many uncontrollable factors.
Without the support of powerful figures like Oma Zi-O, good intentions could easily backfire.
"And as for Brother Lingya, if Sophia hasn't found any evidence, you can also go and investigate the situation of the Four Sages. At least that should keep Brother Lingya calm for the time being."
I probably won't have much time to do this anymore; a really tricky guy is coming, and I have to be fully prepared!
"A troublesome guy!? Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Linghua's heart tightened. If Lan Su was considered troublesome, given his current strength, then he was no ordinary enemy.
Lan Su felt a warmth in his heart and coughed lightly, "Ahem, there is indeed a favor I need Linghua's help with."
"Go ahead," Linghua agreed decisively without the slightest hesitation.
"I see. I need to forge a holy sword recently, but I'm a little short of 'a hundred million' in materials..."
"That's not a problem. There are many mineral materials left by our ancestors in the family. I'll take you to get them later."
Seeing that Lan Su only needed these things, he agreed without saying a word.
Kamishiro Lingya: "..."
"Are you forging this holy sword to deal with that troublesome fellow?"
"Yes and no, it's mainly for the purpose of making a deal with Lan Yu."
"trade?"
"Um."
Lan Su nodded and slowly recounted the deal with Lan Yu.
"..."
"So, Lan Yu is currently under the control of that Black God, which is why she attacked you."
After hearing about Lan Su and Lan Yu's deal, Linghua quickly understood.
"right.
Firstly, no matter what, he was born because of me, and he's done some terrible things. He wants freedom, so I'm willing to help him.
Secondly, it can temporarily eliminate the Black God's surveillance and also retrieve that portion of the dark power.
"Then be careful!"
Linghua was still a little worried, after all, she had a hard time dealing with the Water Goddess last time.
"No problem!"
Lan Su smiled, still with that cheerful and optimistic demeanor.
…………
Sword of Truth, Southern Base.
Sofia is bound in a pitch-black room.
The room was surrounded by a barrier, and her hands and feet were bound by ropes, preventing Sophia from escaping.
"Tap tap tap".
The sound of footsteps gradually approached, and the Holy Lord of Truth, dressed in magnificent robes, appeared before Sophia.
Upon seeing that the visitor was the Holy Lord, Sophia looked utterly bewildered. "Holy Lord, why have you locked me up?!"
"Hehehe...Sophia, have you forgotten? You were created by me."
"What does His Majesty wish to do? Why not simply issue an order instead of going through this process?"
"No, no, no, Sophia, you're my backup key for the next plan, how can I let you run off again?"
The Holy Lord reached out and lifted Sophia's chin, examining her as if she were a piece of merchandise.
"What do you mean by this, Your Majesty?"
"Hehehe, now that the key has its own ideas, we can't let it run around on the streets outside."
Where is the human-creating secretary I entrusted to you? Hand it over!
Instead of answering Sophia's question, the Lord asked her for the forbidden book of the Creation Secretary.
"I won't hand it over to you until you clearly state your purpose."
Sophia remained defiant, showing no agreement whatsoever to the command of the Holy Lord of Truth.
"Fine, I might as well tell you. I'm planning to gather eleven holy swords and nineteen special fantasy books to reassemble the Book of Creation!"
Seeing Sophia's determination, the Holy Lord revealed some information to her.
"However, our ancestors separated the Book of Creation because they feared that someone else might covet its power!"
"Could it be... that fifteen years ago, Hayato Tominomiya did those things because of your orders?!"
Sophia was furious, clearly enraged by the Lord's idea.
