Empire Xyrin - Chapitre 59
After I waved my hand, a shiny object suddenly appeared from that storage place. That object was only a few centimeters long and was big on one end and small on the other. It looked like a miniature war hammer and it also emanated a special aroma.
This was a very high-grade tool that I had used before when I was executing ‘Operation Creating Cute and Demure Lolita’; it was something that countless pure and innocent Lolitas grew obsessed with. This was something that had made an enormous contribution to the food industry… a lollipop!
I had no doubts as to the potency of lollipops. Recalling how even Pandora—who had been immune to all sorts of items that Lolitas used—had become obedient once I dangled a lollipop in front of her (although it was true that this little girl was already rather obedient normally as long as it didn’t concern fighting), I refused to believe that an alternate world Lolita would be able to resist this!
Although from her size and looks, this unknown lifeform could not be said to be a Lolita—as a pocket-sized lifeform, this little thing’s interests should be similar to ordinary Lolitas, droite?
Il est devenu incompatible avec ceux qui l'entouraient, it should be quite similar, droite?
The clear aroma of the lollipop had obviously captured this little thing’s attention. She steadily stopped crying as her emerald-like eyes fixed onto the strange it in my hand.
I tried my best to smile kindly as I tore the wrapper of the lollipop, and an even more powerful scent was immediately released. The little thing’s senses were very sensitive, and she twitched her nose as she then looked at me shyly.
“Petite soeur, n'ayez pas peur. Uncle will give you a lollipop… cough, Parce qu'elle avait une limite de temps. Petit bonhomme, ne pleure pas, look at Big Brother’s lollipop… cough, cough… little… forget about it. Why is it that everything I said sounded so gross…?”
I spouted nonsense as I continued to observe the forest demon’s reaction. She evidently noticed my kind intentions as she finally stopped flying backward, looking shy and afraid; she looked at me full of curiosity.
“Ceci est pour vous.” I handed her the lollipop, “It is very nice!”
The little fellow looked at me seriously as she then carefully flew over and licked the lollipop gently. Immédiatement, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.
This proved that such an ingenious creation as a lollipop was really a legend in the human race’s food culture! It had successfully won over the Xyrin Empire Commander Pan Lingling, General Pandora, and even Emperor Sandora. Maintenant, it had without question won over this mysterious lifeform from this alternate world!
This little thing was really very tiny. The small lollipop in front of her had actually become a huge object. Seeing how she was trying her best to hug the huge ball of candy, I couldn’t help but laugh and took the lollipop over. Maintenant, the little thing had already let down her guard completely as she emitted a small and unfamiliar cry as she then landed daintily on my hand, knelt down as she started to lick the candy again.
“Quel est ton nom?” I asked carefully, afraid that if I spoke loudly I might puff and blow her away.
“Ding Dang!” She raised her head and replied. Her voice was small and pleasing to the ears; it was as clear as spring water.
“Ding Dang?” I was intrigued, “It is a very interesting name. Do you live here?”
“Dans…” Elle acquiesça. “Ever since I lost contact with the Goddess, I have been living here. There are dangerous things outside, and my power alone cannot cleanse and defeat them. Ding Dang has been waiting for my powers to recover…”
“Déesse?”
I swiftly caught onto this word that Ding Dang had used. From Sandora, I knew that the legendary God Race really existed. They were powerful lifeforms created from energy and original laws; they were also the creators of many worlds. Unlike the deities in legends that were high up in the sky, these beings from the God Race were actually rather friendly. They just felt that they themselves possessed more energy and power; they were happy to interact with ordinary lifeforms that could accept them.
Before the Xyrin Empire had fallen into a deep slumber, these powerful lifeforms had even maintained close contact with the Empire and had helped the Empire complete many research projects regarding mysterious energy. D'une manière générale, Xyrin Apostles that had been strengthened by the God Race were actually man-made Gods!
After Ding Dang licked the lollipop another time, elle répondit, “Il est devenu incompatible avec ceux qui l'entouraient, Ding Dang is the Goddess of Life’s apostle!”
In the next ten minutes, I more or less understood the background of this little thing named Ding Dang.
She was actually part of the God Race!
The one and only God Race.
Bien sûr, I found out from Ding Dang that not all from the God Race were pocket-sized like her.
Ding Dang was a member of a group within the God Race that wielded life energy while the Goddess she served was the highest source of all life energy, the Goddess of life. Ding Dang had come to this world precisely to deal with the Abyss’ énergie!
Although how the Abyss’ energy came about was still inexplicable, it was evident of the danger this energy could bring. Chaque moment, it was corroding and destroying countless worlds. This not only posed an imminent danger to ordinary worlds; it also was a huge threat to the God Race. En tant que tel, The Abyss’ energy was one of the main targets of the God Race.
Every thousand years, the God Race would send a huge amount of expeditionary forces to all places and worlds to exterminate the wandering Abyss energy. These forces patrolled every world and destroyed every entrance to the Abyss they could locate until the next wave of troops came to take their place.
Ding Dang was a member of one such expedition force.
In a particularly intense battle, the division that Ding Dang had been in had been dragged into one of the Abyss’ entrances by chaotic spatial energy. Although at the last minute, a few powerful God Race generals had used Pseudo-World Switchover to destroy that entrance, the final explosion had caused Ding Dang to be separated from the others, and she had ended up here.
Just when she was preparing to ask for help from the God Realm, she had realized that this world was also being corroded by The Abyss. Although the situation wasn’t that bad here while the indigenous lifeforms on this world were resisting The Abyss’ energy’s influence, Ding Dang’s request for aid had been blocked by the interference from Abyss energy.
En tant que tel, Ding Dang could only remain in this world for the moment and try to regain her strength so that she could leave as soon as possible to report the disastrous state of affairs here to the Goddess.
“It has been many years!” Ding Dang licked the lollipop aggressively once more. “Ding Dang had already lived here for many years! Malheureusement, in order to regain enough power to break through The Abyss’ blockade, I have to remain here for even longer. I am actually not a fighter of the God Race. pourtant, maintenant, I have lost my home…”
As Ding Dang spoke, she once again grew sad; the sweet aroma emanating from the lollipop no longer could captivate her attention.
Bien, alors. I have been defeated. I have been defeated by a palm-sized little beauty that had brought me a pang of guilt.
“Que diriez-vous, vous venez avec moi?” I tested the waters and asked. Although The Abyss energy was very powerful—as the Xyrin Corps’ battle prowess was not in question while Sandora also had a wealth of experience dealing with The Abyss, it shouldn’t be that hard breaking through The Abyss’ ingérence. Perhaps this little goddess was more powerful than us; toutefois, the combined might of so many Xyrin Apostles should be stronger than her, droite?
I just wasn’t sure if this little being would trust a stranger who had just destroyed her home.
De manière inattendue, she looked at me in a daze for a moment and immediately agreed readily. “Bien, Ding Dang will go with you!”
She had been extremely straightforward about it.
Could it be that the so-called god-beings were all innocent and pure lifeforms without brains?
Bien sûr, ne pas. Ding Dang immediately helped me to answer my own thoughts. “Ding Dang can feel any lifeform’s internal feelings. You are a good person and seem to have a way to leave this place. je te crois!”
Hélas, as a member of the God Race, Ding Dang indeed had some envious abilities. While we left the forest, Ding Dang sat on my head and asked curiously, “Ah juin, Où allons-nous?”
“Let’s go and find a few of my friends. They have the power to fight The Abyss. Avec leur aide, it would not be a problem leaving this world. Avant ça, we still have to go and receive two girls; these two do not have any powers at self-preservation.”
At this same time—at the entrance of some nameless gorge nearby, Qianqian and Chen Qing had gotten into some trouble.
