Chapter 121 Queen: In that case, there is no need to continue playing house.
Deep in the night tide prison on the offshore platform.
"You finally decided to come back?"
The queen took a deep breath of the long pipe in her hand. The curling white mist spread from the mouth of the pipe with her breathing. In this dark room, through the reflection of the dim light, it reflected a hazy and eerie ghostly beauty.
The design style of the chairman's room is based on the Manchester City steam-style captain's room a hundred years ago. The decorations everywhere have eye-catching marine elements. There is a pair of eyes blinking on the mast placed in the weather bottle. Those are the queen's omnipresent eyes.
"Please stop making fun of me."
Faust knelt on one knee on the ground and lowered his head quickly, looking completely submissive.
"I'm just kidding. Fanlan just returned to the Senate. I think you probably haven't forgotten your mission. Have you got the Ten Commandments Token?"
The queen hooked her finger, signaling Faust to quickly hand over the token of the Ten Commandments in his hand. Faust's face turned very ugly the moment she mentioned Fanlan. The queen saw Faust's ugly face and knew that this sentence was tantamount to another threat to Faust.
But...so what?
Even though Faust is the best knife in her hand that she has used for ten years, and is more precious than the spade that can be discarded at will in the City of Ink, that is all. A tool is always a tool and cannot be pitied as a subject.
The queen firmly believes this. She doesn't care what her subordinates are thinking. These tools just need to play their best role. If they can't do that, then she will replace them.
What's more... She personally watched the four Hearts grow up. She deliberately taught them to be classic law enforcers of heroism. Naturally, she had long thought of using friends to control them. Based on her understanding of Faust, as long as Vanlan, who was mentally controlled by the Senate, was mentioned, Faust would be unable to do anything even if he had any ill intentions.
"The crystal skull and the meteorite are here."
Faust handed the two tokens of the Ten Commandments to the queen and stepped aside quietly and silently again.
The queen quietly looked at the two crystal clear tokens of the Ten Commandments. One was a small skull made of light-colored crystal, and the other was a colorful black meteorite. These two small objects, not even the size of her palms combined, contained the great power that once split the world in two.
This is the final token of the Ten Commandments.
The moment this thought came to her mind, even Queen, who was the boss of the Demon Apostles and the Chairman of the General Administration of Law Enforcers and controlled the entire urban structure of the surface world like a god, felt a sense of suffocation as if she was sinking into the deep sea.
The Ten Commandments tokens are now gathered together. She has completed the mission assigned to her by the Senate, and the ticket to becoming a god in the new world is in her hands.
The ambition and desire that swelled in her chest had never cheered so happily. She had finally become a person above all else, one of the gods of the new world that the Senate was going to create.
"...queen?"
Faust spoke tentatively, the Queen pressed her fingertips on the crystal skull, and the smile on her lips was so crazy that it was enough for him to secretly call her a lunatic.
Are the Ten Commandments tokens soaked in the blood of countless people really the treasures that the Queen and the Senate are so eager to get?
Faust did not want to answer. If it were not for Vanlan and absolute force, he would have wanted to use his own power to drag the queen into the dream of death and end this woman's sinful life directly.
Why... Why can a person, just because of a fabricated script, treat all the brilliant lives in the world as characters in a drama and tamper with and control them at will.
Manipulating the demon apostles and law enforcers to fight each other, and the leader behind the two hostile organizations is actually the same person. Faust feels that if he thinks too much about it, he will fall into madness.
The blood and tears shed by the law enforcers are merely tools for the Senate to control the surface world. Even the DM system is a tool created by them just to cover up their ugliest ultimate goal.
"Come on, Faust, come and witness this great moment with me."
The queen had an uncontrollable smile on her lips. She used her smoky soul particles to control the crystal skull and meteorite. The hem of her skirt raised up a beautiful arc, like a blooming dahlia. Just by observing with the naked eye, one could feel the terrifying beauty.
Faust said nothing. He followed the queen silently. The moment the queen turned around, the hatred in his eyes almost turned into reality.
The queen stepped lightly into the dark room where the exhibition stand of the Ten Rings tokens was stored. The dim light made the entire dark room even more mysterious. She walked to the two empty exhibition stands and sent the two Ten Rings tokens into the exhibition stands with swirling smoke.
There was a roaring singing coming from the platform. The fog was still spreading, and Faust could even faintly smell the fishy smell of sea and blood brought by the night tide on the platform.
“Hehehe~”
The moment the last two tokens of the Ten Commandments were placed on the exhibition stand, golden threads began to flow along each of the tokens. It was the script written by the Senate through the Wheel of Fortune taking effect. The queen closed her eyes and gently turned the pipe in her hand, transforming it into a slender paintbrush.
Faust's pupils shrank slightly and he clenched his fists, barely suppressing the shock and anger in his heart. The pen was exactly the same as the one in Fanlan's hand.
The queen was humming a tune with a distinct ocean flavor. This song was still from the world-famous Muse music band, but Faust felt a chill on his back for no reason.
No one who is targeted by the Queen will have a good ending. Faust lowered his eyes and began to think, when did the Muse band become related to the Queen?
Why has Queen been humming Muse's songs ever since he returned to Nighttide Prison after finishing the Ink City incident?
His confusion was soon answered.
"Is this song nice? Faust."
The queen clapped her hands and began to dance rhythmically. The fluttering black fishtail skirt looked like the tail fin of a sea elf, and the wavy black skirt reflected the blue of the waves.
Faust secretly called her a crazy woman and dared to nod.
"Do you know its name?"
The queen clapped her hands to the beat for the last time, quickly ending this impromptu dance. The elegant and mysterious woman in the black dress looked at the ten tokens of the Ten Commandments that were connected by the golden thread of fate, looked at the faint golden light emanating from them, and chuckled.
"…"Mermaid of Sky Island" is a very famous song by Muse, and one of the most popular songs of the band. It describes the story of a mermaid who lives in the deep sea and accidentally falls from the bottom of the sea into the sky for adventure. It is elegant and mysterious in style, and is indeed a rare and excellent work."
Faust pondered for a moment. The Queen's condition was too strange, so he was a little afraid to speak. He could only ponder it in his mind many times, and finally answered the Queen's question in the most official and least problematic way.
"You know a lot, but do you know who the author of this song is?"
The golden light became brighter and brighter, and the golden threads connecting the Ten Commandments became more and more obvious. The Ten Commandments in the seven display cabinets were connected together by fate. The queen raised high the pen in her hand that could copy the script of fate.
Countless golden characters spread out from her pen, forming an impossible to ignore chain of characters, rushing towards the Ten Commandments token.
Faust bowed his head and said: "I am stupid, please enlighten me, Queen."
The queen showed a smug smile like a child: "It's me, the descendant of the Demon King of the Abyss and Night Tide and humans, one of the gods who will ascend to the new world!"
Among the four demon kings, the demon kings of Tanghong and Muhuo only indulge in the madness of battle, the demon kings of Meteorite and Undead are dragged into a never-ending dreamland of slumber by death, the demon kings of Qingfeng and Fate are creations of the Wheel of Fortune and only act in accordance with the footsteps of fate, and only the demon kings of Abyss and Night Tide, although living in the deep sea, like to get along with humans the most.
Hundreds of years ago, the devil who returned to the land from the deep sea fell in love with a beautiful and kind fisher girl. In order to pursue the fisher girl, the devil's incarnation founded the predecessor of the Muse Orchestra, playing the music that the fisher girl loved every day, until after a period of time, the devil successfully pursued his beloved.
The combination of humans and demons endowed their descendants with powerful musical talents and extraordinary soul labeling abilities. The Demon King of Night Tide voluntarily transformed himself into a human, gave up all the power of the Demon King, and placed the past power of the Demon King into the deep sea. He transformed himself into an ordinary human and stayed with the fisher girl for the rest of his life.
And their descendants, humans with devilish talents, formed the Muse music group, spreading music from the depths of the ocean.
"Only a demon king-level power can awaken the connection between the Ten Commandments, fuse them together, and recreate the miracle of dividing the inner and outer worlds. Fortunately... I am one of them."
She laughed and was about to make a powerful move to completely change the fate of these dead objects that contained divine power, but she was forced to let go by a huge fireball that flew in from the door.
"Who is it...? Heart!"
The interrupted queen roared in anger, her eyes almost burning as she stared at the burning flames.
"It's not just Teacher Red Heart~"
You Yu came out from behind the righteous Hong Xin and gave Queen an annoying smile. Beside him, Shuise and Linglan were standing side by side on his left and right.
"And my companions, I was able to arrive in time this time, thanks to the information my companion Shuise sent me."
"Have you betrayed me? How dare you attack the Chairman?"
Queen reminded him arrogantly, and Red Heart shook his head: "The General Administration of Law Enforcers has a clear rule that even the chairman cannot make any move on the Ten Commandments without making it public. You have signed this rule."
Queen sneered, "So what? It's just empty words. I didn't expect that so many demon followers of Night Tide couldn't stop you. You came really fast. It seems that the abilities of those stinky fish are really poor. They are indeed the waste of the old world that should have been swept into the garbage dump long ago."
Shuise was so angry that he wanted to rush forward immediately. However, after so many major events, he was not completely unimproved. He took a deep breath and retorted: "Traitors like you are the ones who should be swept into the garbage dump. You turned your own people into mindless demon followers, but you became the chairman of the queen who lived a miserable life. You are really excellent!"
Shuise gritted his teeth. He had been walking on the earth following the teacher of the Muse Music Band since he was born, but he never imagined that there was such a terrible past hidden behind the music band he was in.
The music band that originally lived by the sea was betrayed by a senior member. Most of the members were unstable to begin with, and their genes between demons and humans shifted. They were all instantly transformed into demon followers.
Only a few remaining people left their homes, traveled the world with music, and organized the current Muse Music Band. This happened some time after Shuise was born, but this did not prevent Shuise from deducing in Mozhicheng based on the information provided by Faust and others that the culprit who caused the music group to be reduced to just a few people was the Queen herself.
The moment he realized the truth, rage had already burned through his soul and would not stop until he died.
"What a useless anger! It seems that Wonder's notice was just a show. I wanted to gloss over the situation, but now it seems that there is no need. Faust, give me the pen."
The queen, however, didn't take the people in front of her seriously at all. She stretched out her hand, confident that Faust would put the pen he had just caught in her hand. After all, Faust didn't dare not do so.
But Faust just winked at her and gave her a sly smile.
He turned around and threw the pen towards Youyu.
"Youyu! Catch it! Catch your destiny! This pen——"
"You are so bold..." Queen's anger could no longer be stopped. She snorted coldly, "Can you take the pen of destiny away from me just because of such a little trick?"
Countless arms made of smoke instantly appeared behind her and chased after the pen floating in the air. Those arms were faster than You Yu. As they were about to fall into the range of the smoke, the pen of destiny that attracted the attention of countless people suddenly disappeared.
A floating playing card swayed to the ground.
"What's going on?"
The queen narrowed her eyes. She was almost driven crazy by the feeling that her great undertaking was about to be completed but someone else was interfering.
"Since it is your destiny, take it well."
The thief chuckled out of nowhere, and the playing cards flashed in the air. The next second, You Yu saw that he had tightly grasped the pen of destiny that was almost snatched back by the queen just now.
It was a very ordinary, thin wooden pencil, but it was this pencil on which were tightly wound countless golden threads of the power of destiny. The weight transferred from simply holding on was enough to almost crush You Yu.
Is this... the pen King uses to write scripts?
"You are... Wonder?"
The queen's gnashing teeth sounded again, and she glared fiercely at the young man who suddenly appeared beside Youyu. The hooded cloak and mask on the other party were too obvious, allowing her to determine his true identity in an instant.
"...I haven't come to you to settle accounts with you about Night's Heart. I thought you were just a reputation seeker and would calm down after the warning from the Law Enforcement Bureau. I didn't expect you to be such a greedy person..."
The mist behind the queen gathered more and more, and her eyes under the wide-brimmed hat had already taken on a strange luster.
Beautiful light blue scales grew at the corners of her eyes. The ocean breeze blew from all directions. Shui Se became even more painful when she heard the screaming songs of her relatives who had turned into demons coming from the platform.
"What on earth are you going to do?!"
Shuise shouted sternly.
Queen sneered: "Of course... let you witness the power of the Ten Rings together."
She raised her hands high, and the Ten Rings tokens in the display case behind her had been integrated into one through the connected golden threads. Countless golden lights flashed, and Wonder heard a sharp scream from the T173 player in her mind.
[Hurry and bring those Ten Commandments tokens over!] That's all mine! That's all ours! 】
[These powers, as long as we get these powers, we can do everything! To reach a state of true omnipotence! It can be completed——】
Wonder tried hard to block out the screams of the t173 player. He finally regained consciousness, but saw that the power and body of the Ten Commandments had been pulled by the golden threads and transformed into a small two-color holy grail of dark blue and blood red.
The terrifying pressure erupted in an instant, and the golden threads on Youyu's fingertips were pulled uncontrollably towards the direction of the holy grail - that thing was greedily absorbing all the energy around it!
"Not good! If this continues, everyone in this sea area will--"
Red Heart was horrified, but before she could react, she was interrupted by the crazy Queen.
"Witness it now, watch it now. This is the real, supreme and great Holy Grail, the source of the power of the Ten Commandments. It only takes a little bit of power..."
She reached out and grabbed a ray of red and blue intertwined brilliant energy, her dim eyes almost glowing.
"It will open the path to the heavens."
