Did Kiana loot the Minghuo Workshop...?
Shaking his head, Dan Heng dismissed this absurd idea.
Kiana is a General of the Alliance from another world, after all; she wouldn't do something like that.
This should have been created by Kiana's own power... right?
This ability to create physical objects left Dan Heng somewhat speechless. Damn, could this get any more ridiculous?
Normally, things created by creation-type abilities are energy constructs that possess the functions of the original object.
But creating complete physical entities out of thin air... that's already a type of power that belongs to the category of modifying rules.
Just how overpowered is the Xianzhou Alliance next door? An existence like this is actually only a General and not a Marshal?
No, even Marshal is too low. Why not have the Reignbow Arbiter step aside and let her take the seat instead?
The more Dan Heng thought about it, the more feasible it seemed... "These supplies weren't produced in the Upper District. How on earth did your companions get so many things...?"
Bronya was shocked by the pile of supplies before her. As the Commander of the Silvermane Guards, she knew the current state of the Upper District's industries.
This isn't a product of Belobog at all. Could it have been brought here through some mysterious means by the outsiders?
Clang—
"Seriously, I've never seen so many things in my life."
The scythe in Seele's hand fell. She looked dazed, her tone very flat, as if she had been so shocked she lost the ability to manage her emotions.
This poker-faced man's companions are way too generous. Do they have some ulterior motive?
She didn't believe anyone could be so kindhearted. Of course, if it really was just out of goodwill to help the Lower District, then she would apologize.
"They should be nearby. I'll go find them."
Dan Heng scanned the surroundings, trying to find his companions, but after looking around, he found nothing.
No... he saw a strange figure... who seemed to have half their body leaned into a trash can, busy with something or other.
"I'll be right back..."
After saying that, Dan Heng walked toward the busy figure rummaging through the trash can with a face full of black lines.
Sensing someone behind her, Stelle's rummaging paused, and she straightened up to look back.
"Dan Heng? You..."
"The Trailblaze spirit doesn't need to be applied here..."
Dan Heng's eye twitched slightly. This new companion's Trailblaze will was a bit too much. Did she really enjoy the thrill of exploring the unknown in trash cans that much?
Dan Heng looked Stelle up and down. After finding that she didn't smell bad, he breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Why did Kiana and March let Stelle out alone... He shook his head helplessly in his heart and then asked Stelle:
"Where are the two of them?"
"Them? They're in the Clinic over there."
Dan Heng looked in the direction Stelle pointed, nodded, and then turned to glance at her.
"You..."
Dan Heng hesitated, then gently shook his head and spoke slowly:
"Just do what you like..."
"I feel like there's nothing good in the trash cans here. I'll go with you."
Stelle sighed with a hint of disappointment.
She always felt like there was something important inside those tin cans, but after all that rummaging, she hadn't found anything.
Was it really just a delusion? She felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
Dan Heng nodded slightly and then turned back to return to Bronya.
Upon returning, he saw that several more people had joined Bronya and Seele.
Oleg was looking at Bronya with a complicated expression, then at Seele, never imagining the two of them would end up together.
"Boss, with these supplies, everyone can hold out for a long time again."
"Yeah, it's all thanks to that mysterious visitor."
Oleg nodded at the words, but he had a premonition that the true dawn would soon come to the underworld.
This premonition came from that mysterious white-haired girl.
"Tsk, the more I think about it, the more unbearable it is. An outsider is more generous than those guys up there."
Hearing Oleg's words, Seele's gaze suddenly turned somber. She turned her head away and clicked her tongue.
A powerful outsider who came for the first time lent a helping hand to the impoverished Lower District without any ulterior motives or demands.
Yet the Upper and Lower Districts of Belobog, which were supposed to share a common destiny, were now in a relationship of oppressors and the oppressed.
Although all of this was caused by the Supreme Guardian's orders, the behavior of the people in the Upper District still made her feel immensely disgusted.
"Sigh..."
Oleg sighed.
If he hadn't taken the girl to the Upper District back then, she might not have been so hostile toward the people above.
The ruler's orders and the concealment of the truth actually had nothing to do with most ordinary people in the Upper District.
"..."
Bronya pursed her lips. She couldn't refute Seele's words, as she had seen it all with her own eyes.
Seele noticed Bronya's dejection, then frowned slightly and looked at her with crossed arms.
"I'm talking about those high-and-mighty guys, not an innocent Demoiselle like you. What are you so sad about?"
"No, I believe I bear some responsibility."
Bronya looked up, looking Seele straight in the eye without avoidance, and reflected:
"This is my responsibility as the Commander of the Silvermane Guards. If I had discovered the situation in the Lower District sooner, none of this would have happened."
"And then what? You're just a Commander, a good little daughter, not the Supreme Guardian. How can you guarantee these things wouldn't happen?"
Seele thought Bronya was still too naive. Although her attitude toward her had improved significantly, seeing the other girl wanting to do something while knowing nothing made her feel frustrated.
Dan Heng and Stelle, who had arrived, glanced at each other, seemingly unsure of what to do.
Originally, Dan Heng wanted to just come over and say hello before looking for Kiana and March 7th.
But looking at the situation now, if no one intervened, it seemed these two would be arguing for a while.
And here it goes again... "I will persuade Mother..."
"Here we go again. You think you can persuade her with just your words?"
Indeed, she couldn't be persuaded. At that time, Cocolia was in league with the Stellaron and had been completely brainwashed by it. How could she listen to Bronya?
Stelle thought silently to herself.
She could see that Seele was a realist while Bronya was an idealist. No wonder Seele found Bronya annoying.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll... I'll force Mother to abdicate!"
"Are you kidding me...?"
"No, I'm serious!"
"..."
Fine, Seele admitted she lost.
When Bronya actually goes to reason with Cocolia, she'll find out whether it's possible to persuade her.
At that moment, Stelle suddenly spoke up:
"I think you really could make Cocolia abdicate. Why don't you put on a show of a 'North Gate Showdown' in Belobog, Bronya?"
???
"North Gate Showdown...? What does that mean?"
After thinking carefully to no avail, Bronya looked at Stelle with a serious expression and asked.
If this method was feasible, then she would stage a scene of 'filial piety' and have her mother, who had made many wrong decisions, step down.
"A North Gate Showdown. Whoever wins becomes the Supreme Guardian. It's that simple."
"Don't listen to her, she's talking nonsense."
Dan Heng felt that if he didn't speak up, this naive and sweet Bronya would really be tricked into launching a coup.
Even a 'Showdown' was brought up. Could Stelle be any more unreliable?
The problem of the Stellaron hadn't even been solved yet, and she was already thinking about inciting the crown princess to rebel against the emperor.
Stelle is truly something else.
