Survival: King Picking Game

"With great power comes great responsibility."

The blond woman replied with a serious tone.

"Although I only heard of this sentence after I became a gamer, I think it is the best answer."

……real or fake.

Li Pingan looked at the other party suspiciously.

Even though it was the first normal contact with each other, since he had recognized the woman's identity, he had heard about her personality...

No matter how you think about it, an existence like this who has lived for an unknown number of years and has the name of a "sage" doesn't seem to be someone who would resonate with that unrealistic view of heroes in American comics.

...However, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter whether it is true or not, and the other party is not the kind of woman who will casually reveal her purpose.

"Well, specifically, what do you plan to do?"

Li Pingan couldn't help becoming interested—although he was originally full of "sexual interest" in beautiful women with mature and heterogeneous charms, but this time he was curious and looking forward to her own thoughts.

"In the endless universe, there are naturally an almost endless number of monsters... However, this race has its own unique properties, which can connect them."

With her finger on the table, she drew a circle, as if to say "this symbolizes the universe".

...Indeed, no one knows what the "world" looks like as a whole, perhaps there is no such concept at all, but relatively speaking, the "circle" is the closest.

"Although there are different types of monsters in the overlapping planes, only 'opposite to humans and rely on human thoughts to survive'... this is fixed."

The ancient ancestors were afraid of the irresistible natural disasters and the phenomenon that could not explain their birth-there is the real birth source of the "monster" group.

"In the past, I have traveled to many places, and I have seen many wonderful and incredible scenes. The gods who were shackled by human beings with myths returned to the world of the earth; it is very similar to the place where I used to live. It is also a monster from human beings. The world that draws fear from the body; and the world where human beings use worship, symbols and rituals to inspire power... These three places impress me the most."

"And then, and from then on—"

In the eyes of the blond woman, there was something shining "something".

"Detached from the place where I have been living, I have not found a goal for the time being, and I have 'dreams' and 'ambitions' again."

"There is nothing better than this for youkai who are narrow-minded and prone to stagnation."

The youkai sage who once led the establishment of "Gensokyo" single-handedly showed an even greater ambition at this moment, and a courage to match it.

"I seem to understand the thoughts of Lord Sage..."

Li Pingan showed a thoughtful expression.

"That... If I remember correctly, no one has tried anything like this in the past, right?"

For example, it's like no one is trying to unify all aliens...

"It's indeed the first time. But, it's worth trying that way, isn't it?"

After the other party confessed his plan, he seemed to have exposed his true nature, with a lazy look, propped his chin with his hands, and replied with a smile.

"Ah, that's why it's the 'Demon Paradise'...?"

He clapped his hands and said suddenly.

"Your Excellency is very perceptive—I want to say that, but I don't know what other people think."

The monster sage avoided Li Pingan's temptation calmly.

"Speaking of which, that... how did the sage know about me?"

...It seems that the interior of <Yokai Paradise> is not monolithic, and maybe not everyone supports Zi Yakumo's idea.While thinking, he changed the subject.

"A rather respectable human being."

When mentioning this person, Yakumo Zi's attitude obviously corrected.

"Over the long years, I have dealt with countless human beings, including powerful monks, onmyojis, witches, and exorcists... However, if you talk about the spiritual aptitude of a human being, and the personality Gao Jie, there are very few people who can compare with her."

When he said that, the image of the elegant and noble "Holy Witch" had already appeared in Li Ping'an's mind.

"...Miss Kikyo..."

He was a little surprised.

Because I have been in contact all the time, but Kikyo has never heard of Gensokyo or Yokai Sage.

Just like Meteora who was introduced by his apprentice, Yakumo Zi is also in the same situation.

"Oh, I really want to ask her to come over, so that I can replace that lazy guy who doesn't want to make progress in our family."

The monster sage stared at him maliciously.

"It's a pity that Her Majesty the Holy Witch seems to have her own heart. I was curious about the character of the man she fell in love with... I didn't expect him to be a frivolous man who would behave rudely to a woman he met for the first time. Really. It's disappointing."

"It's not like that."

He replied solemnly.

"It's just because I can't restrain the love in my heart... I would propose to a woman I met for the first time, because your temperament and appearance deeply moved me..."

That's right, even I have only proposed to a dozen women!

"Although it's a bit nasty... But I still accept this praise, and I am very grateful."

Yakumo Zi let out a soft laugh under the folding fan.
