Heaven's High Song Chapter 02 Tolerance
"What!"
Just when Rin realized something was wrong, everyone seemed to be locked in their seats, with their hands and feet unable to move, as if they were locked.
Bronya wanted to activate the Herrscher core in her body, but found that it didn't work at all. The Herrscher core seemed to be malfunctioning and could not respond to her call at all.
"Oh, don't be so excited. I have indeed lied to you. There is no plan for 'joint disaster relief' or anything like that. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but please don't... hold a grudge against me?"
"what you up to?"
Rin asked Angelica with an angry expression while trying to stand up.
"I won't hurt you, don't worry, I do have something to ask of you this time."
"Then let us go." Xi'er said calmly.
Angelica just said "Okay" happily, and then she snapped her fingers so that everyone could breathe smoothly.
"Holy shit, this bitch is so... so scary..." Jack was still lying on the ground in shock, recalling everything that had just happened to him.
Immediately afterwards, Angelica said the contents of the tasks that everyone who was invited to Tianming will perform this time:
"I would like to ask you all to go to the third world that was destroyed by my own hands for me, and kill the concubine in that world, Bishop Sif. She is the center point of the mutation in the entire third world."
"What?"
Everyone looked at her in confusion, including Miss Bronya, who usually had no expression.
Among them, Xing and Mo Manglai, who were also present, looked even more unbelievable. The "Lord of Tolerance" who had been praying for so long in Arc Star Church was actually the archbishop of Arc Star Church himself.
"Don't be so excited... The third world is a very unfamiliar term to you, so I will explain it to you slowly."
So, Angelica told them about the Creation Star Alliance, including the existence of several parallel worlds on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, including the fact that the plane they were in was the "Second World".
Currently, the areas where the "Ten Heavenly Saints" are active range from the first world that has been completely destroyed and is about to enter reincarnation to the tenth world.
After all, these worlds are the biggest fruits on the tree of imaginary numbers in the current cosmic network, and of course they are also the priority targets of the heavenly saints.
"Lady Angelica... No, Lord Tolerant, you personally stopped the plague and protected us, right?"
Mo Manglai's behavior became more pious at this time, and she wished she could take Angelica home and put a memorial tablet for her to worship every day.
"Well, yes, that's right. You are all my lovely believers. As your god, I should fulfill my obligation to protect you."
Angelica replied with a smile on her face.
Not long after Rin and the others experienced the final battle with Vasco da Gama, they still had not recovered. Now that another heavenly saint-level god appeared in front of them, they were not in the mood to relax at all. Although Angelica's expression
He is so kind, so harmless to humans and animals, and has no intention of harming them.
"Tolerance... Lord Herrscher, is that what I should call you, right?" Xing Ye asked her frightenedly.
Angelica said her real name "Annel", which is ancient Gamma language and means the same as "tolerance".
"From now on, you can call me whatever you want. What can you call me... uh, Lord Herrscher of Tolerance, Lord Lord Tolerance, Anel, or even 'Angelica Sweetie' or something like that?
Is this acceptable?"
"Don't bring any personal ill will in your last address to this Heavenly Sage," Rin complained angrily.
"Ah ah ah, sorry, sorry, just kidding, hee hee~"
Angelica pretended to be cute and winked her right eye, while also sticking out her tongue at Rin playfully.
Rin noticed Angelica's expression. She seemed to have been quietly staring at him. While watching, she was vaguely muttering something in her mouth.
According to Rin's subsequent recollections, it was confirmed that these words were voices such as "My dear little prince~".
After going through a psychological struggle, everyone also let down their guard against the identity of the "Herrscher of Tolerance" in front of them, and began to talk to her about the third world.
Angelica said that she originally wanted to exist as an "observer" of the third world, but one day, she made a decision that disrupted all her plans.
That is to separate her own power and create a new self to carry out observation work in the third world instead of her, so that she can go to the second world to fish and be lazy instead of working.
"This is really...disgusting." Rin said with a look of shame on his face.
"It's unimaginable." Javi on the side also added.
However, just when she was about to release one-tenth of her power, an accident happened.
Obviously still in the fourth world, the power of the "Omniscient Heavenly Saint" God King Igrai, who controls the world line of "Gamma people rule the earth", suddenly led the elite paladins of the fourth world to raid the security of the third world.
Jelika.
It seems that she also learned the news that Angelica wanted to give up part of her power. Angelica paid a heavy price and defeated Igle.
And the price is - turning the third world into a pure white hell on earth.
There are not only "angels" who have spread due to the out-of-control Honkai power, but also a group of local humans who are still surviving under the protection of the Arc Star Church in the third world.
"So, you did all this alone? Or in this way? Only one-tenth of your power was used?" Rin asked.
"Of course. After all, I am hundreds of times stronger than the Vasco da Gama you defeated before?"
Facing Rin's question, she just answered lightly, as if all this was just a common thing to her.
"Hey~ I remembered, um, this little stone, your name is Rin, right?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"Oh my! I never thought that the little prince who I think about day and night would be so cute~"
Angelica's words sent chills down Rin's back. It was obviously the first time he saw Angelica, but Angelica seemed to know something about his past. It was terrifying to think about.
Immediately afterwards, Angelica continued, she also knew that Rin had awakened the power of the Herrscher of Hope, and was observing the three people Bronya, Mei, and Alicia transformed into Herrsters, as well as the rest of the Destiny Finals.
With strong combat power, they teamed up to defeat the "Va Gama of Despair".
"This is why you came to us, right?" Bronya asked her decisively.
Angelica nodded and continued to tell the truth about why they were invited here without any hesitation:
"Because the prophecy says that you can stop the concubine's clone in the third world only if you work together, so I called them all over."
Although no one is quite sure about Angelica's true power as the "Lord of Tolerance", Rin knows that with the character of "Miss Angelica", if she is really asked, she will tell the truth.
answer.
Just like their names, each Heavenly Sage also has qualities similar to what they are called. Angelica is "tolerant", which means that she is basically not wary of anyone.
"How are we going to the third world? Speaking of which... there is no need for us to go to such a dangerous other world to help her?"
Xi'er reacted and said truthfully.
However, the moment Xi'er said these words, Angelica suddenly turned around as if she was electrocuted. She still had that smile on her face, but it just made people look a little frightened.
.
"That won't work. Children, since you are all here, please help me with this favor."
Angelica gently raised her finger, and Xi'er flew towards the sky as if she was out of control, clinging to the ceiling, unable to move at all.
"Oh, I am obviously a god who is so easy to talk to. You must know that mortals can only obey the instructions of 'gods'?"
When everyone saw Angelica attacking Xi'er, they all took out weapons to fight, but Angelica just stared at them, and they couldn't do anything.
"Then, before you agree to my request, please think carefully."
After a snap of fingers, everyone lost consciousness.
*Data traceback**Imaginary network interface failure**Restart*
"What!"
Just when Rin realized something was wrong, everyone seemed to be locked in their seats, with their hands and feet unable to move, as if they were locked.
Bronya wanted to activate the Herrscher core in her body, but found that it didn't work at all. The Herrscher core seemed to be malfunctioning and could not respond to her call at all.
"Oh, don't be so excited. I have indeed lied to you. There is no such thing as a 'joint disaster relief' plan. I'm sorry."
"what you up to?"
Rin asked Angelica with an angry expression while trying to stand up.
"I won't hurt you, don't worry, I do have something to ask of you this time."
"Then let us go." Xi'er said calmly.
Angelica just said "Okay" happily, and then she snapped her fingers so that everyone could breathe smoothly.
"Holy shit, this bitch is so... so scary..." Jack was still lying on the ground in shock, recalling everything that had just happened to him.
Just when Jack said these words, Rin suddenly realized something, and some non-existent images appeared in his mind.
In his flash memory, he saw Xier being thrown to the ceiling by Angelica, and saying something like, "If you don't help me, just keep thinking about it."
"Wait, Angelica...I promise...no..."
When Angelica discovered that there was something wrong with Lin's consciousness, she walked up to him softly, squatted down, and looked at him carefully.
"Oh my, the '854th time' is really interesting... finally someone has some reaction."
"Before this, you have rejected me 854 times. Are my requests so unpopular? My dear, lovely and small children of mankind?"
Seeing Angelica's abnormal behavior, everyone instantly felt a splitting headache. In their minds, the image of Angelica asking them to go to the Third World and then being rejected repeatedly appeared in their minds.
Among them, Bronya had the most violent reaction. She had repeatedly retrieved the memory of Xi'er being hit against the ceiling hundreds of times.
She quickly resisted the feeling of spitting out and covered her mouth.
"Well, I'm going to get your answers now."
Everyone had no choice but to give up under Angelica's strange and terrifying power, and expressed their willingness to help Angelica.
"That's great! In order to celebrate the alliance between me and you, I will prepare a rich 'human lunch' for cute 'little pebbles' like you?"
Angelica clapped her hands happily, and then released the mental power exerted on everyone, allowing them to regain their ability to move.
Bronya really wanted to resist this Herrscher of Tolerance. Although she knew that every Heavenly Saint-level Herrscher had power and strength that far exceeded that of the Fourteenth Herrscher of the Creation Star, she was not willing to become An.
Jelica's chess pieces are at the mercy of others.
"It's useless to resist me. This Miss Herrscher of Reason...not just you, but even 'Jin Yan' among the fourteen Herrschers of Creation Star. I can make her with just a move of my finger."
Turn into powder?"
When she reacted, she was already helping Angelica in the kitchen. There were various ingredients in front of her, and she even held a kitchen knife in her right hand.
She had no memory of picking up a kitchen knife, and she was already in the kitchen when she was thinking about how to resist Angelica.
So, where did the memory of me coming to Angelica's house with everyone... go?
"Look carefully, Miss Herrscher's dazed expression is really cute~ The little one is so cute."
"Let me help you with the ingredients, Miss Angelica."
Bronya endured Angelica's teasing words while cutting various ingredients in the kitchen according to Angelica's instructions.
When she noticed, there was a plant on the table that looked like grass or onions, with a little blue color at the bottom of the roots.
"This is called 'blue onion', which is an ingredient that the Gamma people used to make seasonings. Today you are really lucky. You can eat the dish that I often like to cook ~ cute 'little stone'?
"
Bronya was not in any mood to listen to Angelica. If she had known that Angelica was such a terrible saint, she should have been on guard earlier. Otherwise, how could she have taken such a big risk to save Angelica?
How about handling some ingredients that you have never seen before?
When the dishes were brought out from the kitchen, although the dishes she cooked were fragrant, no one was in the mood to eat.
Among them, Abigail Williams, the youngest Valkyrie in Xier's unit, the B-level Valkyrie, sat blankly in front of the table, as if she wanted to cry.
"Don't be afraid, Abi. If you are afraid, just hold me tight." Xier whispered to her.
In order to reassure the captain, Abigail wiped her tears and pretended to be strong and said that she was not afraid.
"Oh, I won't hurt you, cute little stone, don't worry, by the way... you are so cute~"
Angelica tried to touch Abigail's cheek with her hand, but Abigail just instinctively shrank back, leaving Angelica at a loss.
"Okay, I admit that I was a little rude to you all before, and I consider this meal as compensation for you... Please enjoy it, and please don't leave any leftovers, otherwise I will have a headache?"
Seeing that no one dared to use chopsticks first, Angelica was the first to pick up the bowl and chopsticks in front of her, picked up a piece of beef stew in a demonstrative manner, and put it into her mouth.
"Hmm~ It's delicious. Everyone, would you like to have a meal?"
Everyone present did not dare to be the first to eat the food cooked by Angelica. After a few minutes, with an uneasy mood, Rin decided to be the first to test the poison.
Captain, if I am poisoned to death, please help me build a better monument. This is what he thought at this time.
The result was unexpected. This big pot dish called "Snow Garden Stew" was unexpectedly delicious.
"Eh? This tastes great. The stew is fragrant and fresh, and it also has a special floral smell... It's amazing."
After tasting the snow garden stew, Rin couldn't help but admire it.
Seeing that everyone saw nothing happened after Rin finished eating, everyone started to pick up the bowls and chopsticks in front of them and scrambled to pick up the dishes on the table.
Half an hour later, when the meal was finished, everyone was amazed at Angelica's craftsmanship and couldn't help but admire her.
"It's so good that it suits everyone's taste. Although the reception was a bit poor, everyone should be full~ If it's not enough, can I make more?"
"I'm so sorry, Miss Angelica, we also suspected that you had poisoned the food."
Xier apologized to Angelica for everyone's rude behavior just now.
"I won't do such a thing. After all, if I want to kill you, I have at least a thousand ways to kill you. Using this method to kill people is not my favorite style, right?"
Although what Angelica said was a bit scary to think about, everyone was sure that Angelica was not their enemy, temporarily.
"Then, how about I take you all around Nanyang City? What do you think?"
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
So, under the leadership of Angelica, everyone came to the most prosperous commercial street in Nanyang City protected by Arc Star Church and started shopping before accepting Angelica's commission.
.
During this time, Angelica introduced a lot of things about Nanyang City. It can be seen from her expression that she really likes the humans in Nanyang City. Every time she speaks to them, Angelica
They all show kind smiles.
Xier was the first to talk to Angelica:
"I remember that the contents of the "Ten Heavenly Saints" are all about the trials given to humans by the Heavenly Saints... We have passed Vasco da Gama's 'Trial of Despair', so where are you?"
"Woohoo~ That's a lie. Which gentleman did the book Xiao Shizi mentioned be written by? If there is a chance, I would like to have a good argument with the original author of this book?"
"It seems that not all heavenly saints are evil, are you right, Bronya?"
When Xier was chatting with Angelica about "The Ten Days" written by Walter Young, she did not forget to ask her sister Bronya for some opinions.
Bronya didn't answer Xi'er, she just glanced at her and continued to choose local clothes in the store to take back. She meant "it's best not to let your guard down too much", but Xi'er didn't understand very well.
What Bronya meant was to continue to select clothes in the store under the leadership of Angelica.
"Oh, you actually think that this kind of practice is 'evil', haha~ I'm sorry, I don't agree with you, lovely little stone~ If you think these 'trials' are evil, then this kind of behavior
I can only say that it is evil to you humans. Is this the correct statement?"
"Everyone's position is different. For us heavenly saints who have experienced tens of millions of reincarnations... this kind of behavior is just. After all, our duty is to eliminate the evil that threatens the tree of imaginary numbers.
Stable factors and timely pruning of branches are what we should do."
After Angelica finished speaking her understanding, everyone became more and more aware of Angelica's views. However, the Tolerant Heavenly Saint described in Walter Young's "Ten Heavenly Saints"
, is a very paranoid, cruel and ruthless existence.
"So, Lord Tolerance, can you help Mo Manglai pass the examination as a formal nun?"
As soon as Mo Manglai said these words, everyone present seemed to be silenced as a group, and they didn't know where to start complaining about her.
"By the way, how many times has Sister Mo Manglai failed the exam?" Xing glanced at her and asked.
She immediately replied: "The third time."
Angelica didn't speak, she just looked at the cute little nun with a subtle expression of an aunt's smile. No matter how Mo Manglai asked Angelica to bless herself, Angelica just looked at her with a smile, maybe
I don't know how to answer.
After a long time, she slowly said: "Haha~ If this is the case, Sister Mo Manglai, you may need to repair it."
I saw her walking up to Momanglai, lifting Momanglai off the ground like a chicken, letting her dance with her little feet in the air, but Angelica had no intention of letting go.
.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I can't accompany you in person today~ Please allow me to go back and tutor the little nun."
After that, with everyone's confused expressions, Angelica walked out of the clothing store carrying Mo Manglai.
"Speaking of which... in terms of her paranoid personality, Miss Tolerance fits the description in the book very well."
"I agree."
Jack and Javi, who were watching from the sidelines, both sighed at the archbishop of the Arc Star Church.
She is a "genial weirdo", which is what everyone thinks at first impression.
The third world - the white world - the peaceful place - an unknown small village
"Have the nuns come here today? I'm so hungry."
"It's okay, my brother will help you find something to eat outside."
In a small village covered with white fluffy snowflakes, in a dilapidated little house, a young girl was asking her brother for some food.
Heavy snow has fallen in the village for a whole week. After the nuns of the local Arc Star Church told residents not to go out, some residents still starved to death at home due to lack of food. The food supplies that the Arc Star Church could provide were very small.
It was also the income earned by the nuns who distributed the remaining rations to the villagers while enduring that they had nothing to eat.
When the young man walked out of the house, he put on heavy snow boots. It is said that these boots that protect his knees can prevent his body from being contaminated by snow, which may cause the disease to collapse and crystallize.
Before the nuns came here to clear the snow, he saw that it was very difficult to walk on the thick snow as soon as the snow stopped.
These snow accumulations were all caused by Angelica. She caused a catastrophe in this world that nearly destroyed the entire ecological environment, causing the living population in the third world to plummet to one percent of its original size.
Around ten.
"Fukalolan, my sister has not eaten for a whole day. After I gave her my own bread, there is no food in the house."
Walking through the snowy streets, the person he found was the current nun of the Arc Star Church in the Third World, Sister Fukalolan Arokayi.
This Sister Fukalolan is one of the twenty lineal nuns of the Arc Star Church. She is in charge of some of the powers of the Tolerant Lord in the Arc Star Church. The power she holds is called "Temperance".
The form and content of power are unclear.
"Xiu, how is Alena? I will think of some solutions. There is so much snow now. Please don't go out casually. If the 'Angel of Punishment' appears..."
Before Sister Fukalolan could finish her words, a terrifying scream suddenly came from the sky. The cry was like that of birds and antelopes, which made both of them involuntarily cheer up.
"Go quickly, Xiu, I'll deal with those monsters."
"Um."
Those deformed monsters called "Angels of Punishment" are a type of Honkai aberrations and were transformed from humans infected by Angelica.
What appeared in front of Sister Fukalolan was the lowest form among them. The elder had angelic shining wings, but his body looked like a gargoyle, which was relatively easy to deal with.
Fukalolan waved her right hand, and a bright whip blade was summoned into her hand. When she saw the gargoyles falling from the sky toward her, showing their claws and rushing towards her, she just flicked the weapon in her hand.
With a wave, the heads of the two gargoyles fell to the snow, and their bodies turned into dots of starlight and disappeared on the snow.
"Are you okay? Xiu." Sister Fukalolan quickly stepped forward to check on Xiu.
At this time, Xiu had fallen completely into the snow. The parts of his body that were in contact with the snowflakes were already showing signs of being eroded by collapse. Those skin parts began to show an abnormal blue color, which was gradually eroding his body.
.
The situation of people living in the third world is very miserable. If they don't have Honkai adaptability, then they can't come into contact with the "snowflakes" that can be seen everywhere on this land. They need to be protected by these "nuns" who have Honkai adaptability.
stand up.
Sister Fukalos was the same age as Xiu, and she was also Xiu's childhood sweetheart. After Fukalos was selected to become a nun, she still cared about Xiu like a family member.
"Sorry, Fukalolan... I'm so useless. If I could walk in the snow like you..."
"What are you talking about? Who do you think I am doing this for...forget it, I'll take you to get a vaccine, otherwise you will quickly become a monster."
Xiu's body couldn't move, so Fukalolan could only carry Xiu on her back, and led him to push aside the snow bit by bit and walk towards the Arc Star Church.
The main church of the Arc Star Church in the third world stands on the towering mountain peaks, in the sacred area known as the "Place of Tolerance", where it is surrounded by snow clouds all year round. If there is no collapse,
Ordinary people with bad adaptability have no way to go there.
A branch of the Arc Star Church is at the bottom of the mountain. In order to provide timely help to the residents affected by the disaster, they set up a temporary rescue station here to help these humans who do not have the adaptability to collapse.
"Ah, Sister Fukalolan, may the Lord of Mercy protect you."
The person who came to receive them was a bespectacled nun named Lydy Puonysus, who held the power of "the female pope".
Sister Lu Di, who is usually responsible for medical care, is a very serious person. Although she is also an expert in treating snowflake infections, her main job is usually to be responsible for intelligence management and control of disaster-stricken areas.
"Sister Lu Di, Xiu accidentally touched the alien white phosphorus, please take care of it for him."
However, Sister Lu Di just looked at Fukalolan in front of her with a very serious expression. She was the older one among the nuns, and she was also a very dignified nun.
"Who allowed him to go out at will? Sister Fukarolan, was it you?"
"No...he just ran out randomly, please..."
"Hmph, if everyone in the village runs around like him, what do you want me to do? Just dealing with the residents who are susceptible to infection every day is already very tiring, and I am also responsible for the research and development of the vaccine for 'Xenogeneic White Phosphorus'
...If this happens again next time, just throw him into the wild."
The "alien white phosphorus" they call is the official name of these snowflakes. After the "Trial of Tolerance", these extremely low-temperature, snowflake-like collapsing pollutants filled the entire earth and filled the oceans of the entire third world earth.
, the entire earth was frozen.
Sister Lu Di, who was treating Xiu's wounds, kept talking about Fukalolan from time to time, saying that although Fukalolan had grown up with Xiu, Xiu didn't have any Honkai adaptability, which led him to want to do it.
Everything is restricted.
In today's third world, most men who do not have Honkai adaptability are discriminated against so severely that most of the staff in the Arc Star Church are nuns with relatively strong Honkai adaptability.
Except for the childhood sweetheart Fu Kaloran, no one looked down on poor Xiu, because Xiu lost all his family members in this disaster, and it is very likely that he would die silently after a heavy snow.
After treating Xiu's injuries, Sister Lu Di specially pulled Fukalolan aside and advised her to just focus on her own affairs. A waste like Xiu will die who knows how soon. She can only care about her children's personal affairs anymore.
You will suffer a loss.
"He is not a waste! Sister Lu Di, I advise you to pay attention to your words and deeds!"
Fuka Luolan was angry. For her, Xiu was not only the person she cherished the most, but also her only support in the third world.
"Oh? Sister Fukarolan wants some penance, right? What I said is all for your own good, Sister Fukarolan. Besides... against me who holds a high position of power, don't you think?
Is it an unwise choice?”
"Please stop saying Xiu is a waste!"
"So what if you tell me? Sister Fukalolan, you are still young, and surviving by chance in this world is the first priority, isn't it?"
Although Fuka Luolan knew that what Sister Lu Di said was true, she still couldn't worry about her childhood sweetheart. After Sister Lu Di left, she looked after the unconscious Xiu very worriedly.
After initially confirming Xiu's condition, she discovered that he was not only unconscious due to infection by the alien white phosphorus, but also hunger and fatigue, which seemed to have been tormenting him for a long time during this period.
She closed her eyes, clasped her hands on her chest, and prayed for Xiu.
"Lord of Mercy, please have great mercy and free us from this miserable world."
