MTLNOVEL Chapter 17: Obey or Die
However, going against someone's will isn't much different from killing them. Compared to wandering alone, Nomi hoped more that it would be herself, who saved and resurrected her, to end her immortality.
Is it the advantage of age?
The noisy little ghost from before is now stronger and more mature than he imagined, having completely seen through life and death.
[So, don't meet again after saying goodbye this time.]
The red-haired girl said:
"Who knows how long I'll have to wait next time I hear it."
She clasped her hands, trying her best to make a pleading gesture:
"Call again, will you? It'll be a long time till we meet again!"
Nomi looked at her and said:
"We'll definitely meet again, right?"
"Mm!" The red-haired girl said, "I promise you, we will meet among the stars in the future, I guarantee it."
[Performing lie detection...]
Just like always, [Charm] will deceive the other, letting Nomi believe this lie, then continuously chase the pathway, and live well.
[Perpetual Love Hunting activated—]
[Got stolen by the power of [Raiding]!]
[Your Luck Value was temporarily stolen!]
The cold wind ruffled Nomi's short hair, revealing a weary smile.
[Lie detection failed]
"...Then I'm at ease now."
Nomi released the red-haired girl's hand and laughed heartily:
"We will definitely meet again, you beautiful little lady—then you must take my life!"
With that, she picked up a wrench from the ground and turned away without looking back.
The red-haired girl watched the departing figure, the tenderness and mercy in her eyes completely faded, leaving only regret.
"You've always had such bad luck, yet your luck happened to be good now, Nomi."
Wondering whether it was good or bad to have the lie seen through, she could no longer articulate.
The only certainty is that Nomi is no longer the crying, tantrum-throwing little ghost but a mature and reliable old lady.
No matter what decision she makes, it's the decision of Nomi Anderson Guesette.
"Looks like I can't interfere with others' lives all the time later on."
She lightly tossed her crimson long hair, and her whole body immediately transformed into flames, consciousness burst out swiftly, returning to the sky above.
Passing through layers of atmosphere, right above Azure Star's orbit, a crimson firestorm continued to spread, constantly opposing the red-black Ersha Cloud.
Scorching Hellfire Break continued outputting, Li Aozi never left his combat post either.
As an Iota (9) powerful figure, abandoning his work for a reminiscing chat was impossible. Azure Star couldn't bear his Strength either.
Under Iota (9)'s conditions, it's like forcefully jamming a TV tower into a phone charging port, let alone whether it would fall in love with itself, it is large enough to blow up Azure Star.
Of course, reality won't be an explosion at most; it would directly bounce him out.
Only by completely eliminating Ersha and forcing Lord Entropy awake can the next step be taken.
Thus, he split off a plasma mass and descended onto Azure Star, allowing observation of Ersha Cloud's elimination.
[Just relying on my Strength is still too slow, Ersha's area is too large if controlling Strength can't instantly destroy the planet yet needs to eliminate Ersha—alone I can't do it.]
But Li Aozi has never battled alone.
It should be known, the Main Attribute of [Sovereign] Pathway is [Charm].
His consciousness returned to the body, the 20-kilometer-high Solar Star Spirit immediately raised the palmed Gravitational Scepter aiming at Azure Star.
Siphoning energy from the stars, the Scepter immediately broadcasted clearly and steadily:
"Greetings, people of Azure Star, I'm Li Aozi. The madman who blew himself into space using a hydrogen bomb."
"Now, I've returned, bringing the power to battle against Lord Entropy and the endless Undead Legion."
"I won't say any nonsense, listen well, everyone, I mean all of you."
"I'm an Iota strong figure, if we can have a fair combat, then I'll solve Lord Entropy. If you don't believe me, then look—your troublesome eternal night is being obliterated by my unleashed anger, but it's not enough, far from enough, to drive out the sleeping Lord Entropy, everyone must mobilize!"
"Whether it be earthly existence, the people of Azure Star, regardless of your position, Four Nations or Outer World, immediately put down all your contradictions to collectively confront Lord Entropy."
"No other reason—we can win, we can end this long night, everyone will head for the cosmic frontier, the glory of human civilization will forever shine in Starry Abyss, you, me, all Sons of Man, act at once, as long as we together eliminate Ersha, we'll defeat Lord Entropy."
Li Aozi said:
"That's it."
No sooner had he spoken, than dark blue flashes of Aurora suddenly appeared before Li Aozi.
〖Ignorant knowledge cannot unite people, foolish preaching no one will believe.〗
The blended voices of numerous men, women, and children began coldly:
〖I've been observing them since the day these civilizations were born.〗
It was Lord Entropy; Lord Entropy proactively started communication with Li Aozi:
〖Humans are both dumb and stupid, only believing in what they see themselves, no matter what technology they invent, they will only lead to self-destruction.〗
For a moment, his statements made Li Aozi's heart rise with a sense of agreement, and instantly, Li Aozi's message record directly exploded.
