Chapter 19.91 Xiao An and the Cutscenes
About seven Solar Cycles’ worth of power had transformed the once rigidly fixed “Steel Jungle” into an irregular, unfixed “Desert.”
Although it wasn’t to the extent of the world burning when the faith reached its peak and ten suns appeared simultaneously, one must remember this was achieved solely through this Father’s Destiny Power.
And back when I was at my strongest, I had tens of thousands of believers… Well, there’s nothing to miss about that.
This is much easier now.
After unleashing my ultimate move, my body instantly shrank. The little dumpling in my arms seemed surprised by my transformation and asked me to change back.
You brat! This isn’t a magical girl transformation; it’s not something you can do just because you want to!
Never mind… seeing how much you expect it, I’ll change back one more time. It just so happens that now my body has grown and I have a pair of large breasts. Look.
Meanwhile, the two people I protected and who were unaffected were so astonished they couldn’t close their mouths.
“So amazing…”
Hmph, hmph~ Amazing, right~
I proudly put my hands on my hips and puffed out my chest as I said.
“This is the true ‘natural disaster.’ As long as you have enough accumulated Destiny Power, you can directly change the surrounding environment, terrain, and even climate.”
Of course, the people inside wouldn’t escape either. Without considerable strength, it would be absolutely impossible to withstand this AOE attack.
Well, even if they could withstand it, it would have cost them a lot of energy.
“I see. In the blink of an eye, more than half the city has turned into a desert… and the temperature seems to have risen significantly. Burning the sky and boiling the sea, this scene is quite surreal…”
“It’s a bit of a shame I didn’t enclose the entire city. My initial idea was to turn this whole world into a desert… Hmm, although this world is much smaller than the ‘genuine’ one, it still can’t be completely covered. It seems like only about a quarter at most?
That’s also because I only used ‘Immolation,’ not ‘Demolition.’
If the purpose was purely offense, I could have directly blasted through the entire city.
After all, it originated from the power of the sun. It should at least be comparable to mankind’s strategic weapon, the ‘nuke.’
“Alright, stop zoning out. It’s time to go scavenge for loot! Hehe~”
“Scavenge for loot?”
“Yeah, aren’t we looking for Father’s body parts? Since you said you received protection from that Head Maid, they shouldn’t have been burned away in this attack. Plus, there might be some abnormal items that survived this wave of destruction~”
When playing games, I love opening loot boxes the most!
That process, filled with the uncertainty of fishing, is truly addictive!
‘Speaking of which, there are definitely some ‘fish that got away.’ Don’t let your guard down, and be sure to finish off any stragglers while collecting items.’
“You’re already in game mode…”
Hmph~ Isn’t life just a game!
As a god, I should certainly be indulging in games!
Seeing this desert reminded me of that dream I had back then…
The original “Xiao An” wouldn’t have done such a cruel thing, would she?
Even if this world doesn’t have death in the true sense, that child wouldn’t have done it, would she?
I am always different from her…
Sometimes I wonder if it would have been better to have that pure and kind her replace me…
But Father never once said I was ‘disposable.’
Even though he is that kind of person, I am still overjoyed by how much he cherishes me.
Perhaps, this is why I’m willing to stay by his side, even willing to call him Father.
No, I’ll never call him Father! Ptooey~!
“Amaterasu-sama?”
“Hmm? Hmm, let’s go. Oh, right, no need for honorifics, and don’t call me Amaterasu-sama. I’m called ‘An Yanling’ now, and you know Father calls me ‘Xiao An,’ right? So you’re actually older than me. Just call me Xiao An.”
“Understood.”
“Brother secretly raises… Ah. So that’s why the food in the refrigerator keeps disappearing. Did you sneak it?”
“Please don’t talk as if I’m his pet! I’m his daughter, it’s only right that he raises me!”
“At this moment, you readily admit to being his daughter.”
“Well, well, don’t mind these little things~ Come on, let’s go treasure hunting! Treasure hunting!”
“Oh! Treasure hunting!”
See, the little dumpling is excited too!
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go treasure hunting!
I activated my divine scope to search for treasures buried in the desert, but I could only feel the general direction, unable to pinpoint the exact coordinates.
If the Yata no Kagami were still here, I could perform a targeted search. It wouldn’t be this troublesome.
It’s such a pity that it was smashed just like that…
But this way, it feels more like treasure hunting, well~
Along the way, Yuhui Bai collected the souls of the lesser enemies using a soul-capturing bottle. I didn’t see anyone who needed replenishment… It seems the ones who managed to escape still had the energy to flee.
However, there were a few things that weren’t moving, and those were the treasures we were looking for!
We arrived at the location of the first bright spot. My younger sister used a tornado to blow away the surrounding sand, revealing the original form of something buried within.
It was the shape of a foot… Oh!
We hit the jackpot!
“Oh! We got it! We’re so lucky! The first one is a body part!”
I picked up the foot with the little dumpling, brushed off the sand, and shouted.
“Juncheng’s left foot acquired…”
However, before I could finish announcing the acquisition of this important item, I was interrupted by both of them.
“No.” x2
What’s wrong?
Is my line incorrect?
“This isn’t Brother’s foot.”
“That’s right. Lord Juncheng’s doesn’t look like this.”
“Huh?”
It’s not?
But it looks… about the same size, similarly slender, and no grey toenails…
How can you tell it’s not?
My younger sister took the foot from my hand and said to me.
“Indeed, after confirming the feel, I’m even more certain. This isn’t Brother’s.”
“It’s indeed very similar, but there are subtle differences in the overall shape.”
“Exactly, this should be a woman’s leg.”
Is this a fake to lure us in?!
Fakes have already appeared in such a short time!
This is terrifying!
By the way…
“Why can you guys tell? It’s too strange…”
These two are too strange.
Normally, one wouldn’t be able to tell, right?
“Hmm? This is very normal.”
“Yes, it’s very normal. You should be able to tell too, Xiao An.”
“No, no, no, I really can’t tell. I don’t love that guy…”
“What?!” x2
The two women said with disbelief, “When he was in his most desperate situation, he summoned you.”
I mean, why such a surprised reaction?
“How could that be?! You’re Brother’s daughter, yet you don’t love Brother!”
“If you don’t love Lord Juncheng, why do you live with him? Moreover, Lord Juncheng cares for you…”
“No, I never loved him. I just felt it was nice to be with him. Hmm, it’s more like familial affection.
Although I don’t mind physical contact with him, nor do I mind having a physical relationship.
After all, that kind of thing seems very comfortable. I should definitely try it later, otherwise, wouldn’t my long life be in vain?
Ah, in that case, I shouldn’t be considered family, right?
No, this younger sister is involved with Father. How should this be calculated?
Family doesn’t seem to be a concept established solely by blood relations, does it?
I don’t understand…
“In short, I hope to stay by his side forever, but I don’t think it’s the pathological and fanatical love you guys have!”
Unexpectedly, upon hearing my statement, the two of them calmly patted their chests and let out a sigh of relief.
“Phew, just as I thought. I knew Xiao An, you couldn’t not love Brother.”
“Yes, after all, Xiao An was the first one to find Lord Juncheng.”
Hmm?
There’s something wrong here.
“I say, wasn’t I the first one to find him? Why has the origin shifted to me?”
“But, I remember that everything that happened was because the Yata no Kagami found Juncheng…”
That’s right, but I wasn’t the one controlling the Yata no Kagami.
“Father, have you been passing on wrong information to them again? At that time, I was ‘sealed’ inside the Yata no Kagami and had no ability to control its movement. In other words, any external commotion was irrelevant to me.”
…What?
Yuhui Bai frowned and asked.
“Then why did the Yata no Kagami find Lord Juncheng?”
“God knows.”
In any case, it definitely wasn’t me.
