Chapter 835 - 24: Forever Night_2
It was clear that the Dragon God had lost face at the moment.
The barrage was still flying wildly around, and the firepower intertwined with abilities and energy was reaching a white-hot phase.
Even he had to be cautious, not because he feared accidental injury. Given his current state, even though he hadn’t yet successfully replicated Chaos’s defensive technique of a "chaotic" shell, it was really hard for ordinary power to harm him.
The natural body, as a biological entity, was perfect, displaying absolute effectiveness akin to a sturdy armor, with super strong defense and damage reduction rates, all piled upon basic attributes through various skills and authority, reaching an incredibly amazing level.
The health bar was so thick it exceeded the screen...
Moreover, equipped with ultra-high defense and ultra-high damage reduction rates, as well as possessing fast healing and blood-sucking endurance, he served quite well as a BOSS...
Yet, he wasn’t worried about getting hurt; instead, he was concerned about being caught by an infuriated Zi, whose mental state had become strangely deranged, with her rationality snapped. In such hysterical circumstances, Gu Mo no longer doubted Zi’s initial claims.
What to do...
Gu Mo looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, with a long sigh. He gently sidestepped to dodge several gaps trying to engulf him, raised his hand, and shattered the gaps, all while preparing to make up his mind to forcibly suppress the situation...
However, the next moment, a slender white hand lightly grasped him.
"Huh?"
He was slightly taken aback and turned his gaze, meeting a pair of rose-red eyes.
In the next instant—
A sense of extraordinary feeling spread across him, enveloping Gu Mo, as if time and history were forgotten. He could feel the world slipping away, and the surrounding environment suddenly became quiet, with the forest sinking into silence.
"..."
"..."
The chaotic scene disappeared without warning, leaving no noise or commotion, everything came to an abrupt halt. The sudden silence even made the ears slightly sting.
Gu Mo had a realization in his heart; he knew this was Princess Kaguya’s ability at work.
Having borrowed this ability from the princess many times, mainly for research acceleration, he had troubled her many times... so he was naturally not unfamiliar with this state, feeling like coming home.
Forever is a world without history, where the future will never come. Even if there were activities in this world, they would be just like stopped time.
And Gu Mo’s Single Appearance trait ensured his presence in this world, so when the princess activated her ability in the eternal world, she easily found him and, as usual, included him in this world.
Thus—
Easily bypassing all others.
"Uhm... Thank you, Princess."
Gu Mo sighed and expressed gratitude, while glancing around. In this eternal world, everything was so quiet, the environment entirely the same, with nothing else existing. In this silent night, only he and the black-haired girl were present.
"Huh, your gratitude seems quite reluctant, doesn’t it? Just now you could completely not cooperate with me, if you hadn’t wanted to, I couldn’t have forcibly brought you over... And didn’t you just plan to leave with Shirotsubaki? Isn’t it the same with me helping you?"
The black-haired girl huffed in displeasure.
This isn’t the same...
Shirotsubaki taking him away was understood as an All-Purpose Puppet, they wouldn’t overthink it. But the princess taking him away changed the nature of the situation...
Gu Mo held his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. However, as the princess said, choosing to enter this world for refuge left little to say.
"You can leave if you want, whatever you choose, I don’t mind..." The black-haired girl said nonchalantly, turning around and walking away from the forest.
"Uhm... Better not..." With a long sigh, Gu Mo waved his hand.
"But escaping isn’t a solution..."
The black-haired girl glanced back, narrowing her eyes expressionlessly, adding psychological pressure to this troublesome guy.
"At least it’s quite effective, isn’t it..."
The white-clad black-haired youth replied absent-mindedly. He was troubled too, with no clear thoughts, feeling his thinking was unusually muddled and chaotic.
"It’s actually a wise choice. Honestly, if you didn’t leave, they would keep disputing endlessly. Even if Zi calms down, she’d be in a difficult position. Leaving to give them a chance to calm down might be better..."
The black-haired girl nodded thoughtfully, then looked at him with curiosity and amusement—
"Speaking of which, how does it feel to suddenly have a daughter?"
"..."
"..."
"Uh, sorry, but I really can’t say..." Gu Mo rubbed his temples, exhausted, walking in the silent night. If not for the enormous shock from Alice, throwing his mind into chaos, he wouldn’t be so clueless about what to do.
It’s really too shocking a fact!
Completely unprepared!
"Indeed, suddenly finding yourself with a daughter..." The princess nodded, with no dissatisfaction, understanding his current feelings. Finding it hard to express was normal, showing he didn’t know how to describe it, his mind was cluttered, and it showed he still had emotion and humanity.
"Uhm..."
The white-clad black-haired youth hesitated, instinctively looking at the black-haired girl.
Assaulted by strange information repeatedly, he couldn’t help but become suspicious. The princess seemed interested in the daughter issue, could it be that she too had...
"Did your brain break? How could that be possible..."
The black-haired girl stopped expressionlessly, looking at him coldly as if she knew his doubts, decisively ridiculing him.
Gu Mo breathed a sigh of relief at the mockery, feeling something was off in his mind, having such ridiculous thoughts. Indeed, the princess was so calm, she didn’t seem like she’d do something strange.
As he prepared to apologize, he saw the girl turn around.
She lightly flicked her long black hair and continued calmly, "Just thinking about it, the potion to let Penglai people have children wouldn’t be so quick to develop..."
"...!!"
