Chapter 473: Chapter 473: The King’s Power is Not Eternal_1

"...I run a small-scale business,"

Delta felt that the person in front of her was a bit odd, but given the various rumors she had heard in "prison," she truthfully answered Song Lan’s question.

Song Lan had sensed the commotion at the school hospital and followed it here; the person in the shadows before him was one of the prisoners who had escaped from the black Pyramid. After a brief encounter with the individual in the hospital, he finally confirmed that those shadows were not eagerly dashing toward freedom, but had been scared off by him.

Delta was the same.

She ran as fast as a rabbit, without a physical body she wasn’t hindered by any obstacles, and in the blink of an eye, she had escaped more than half a block.

Song Lan was starting to regret not bringing his beloved MK-II to the Seventh District.

He had observed from the shadows the encounter between Delta and Jasmine. Even though Jasmine was constrained for fear of the hospital being destroyed by the aftermath of their Spiritual Energy clash, her companion, another Six Stars rescuer who preferred to remain unseen, also provided support. Delta appeared to handle herself with ease against two Six Stars rescuers at the same time.

The intensity of the Spiritual Energy she displayed was far stronger than Jasmine’s and was the strongest of anyone Song Lan had encountered thus far.

He vaguely remembered the starscape at the apex of the Pyramid, where there were many existences similar to Delta.

He couldn’t help but voice a question he’d had for a long time, "Why do you run as soon as you see me?"

Song Lan considered himself quite good at handling workplace relationships, and his colleagues all thought of him as an amicable person.

"This..."

Delta hesitated, eyeing Song Lan cautiously.

His behavior was not only peculiar but also severely mismatched with the rumors.

"What is it?"

"You have to promise not to get angry with what I’m about to say first,"

"I’m very patient; go ahead."

Lies!

Delta saw right through Song Lan; if he was truly patient, there wouldn’t be so many terrifying legends about him. But now, the situation was like having a knife held to her throat. If she defied him, he could become, as the rumors suggested...

At that thought, Delta said, "Because once someone upsets you, you swallow them alive!"

The literal meaning of being swallowed alive was exactly what she meant.

In the "prison," there were many tales of Song Lan consuming other Consciousness Entities into his stomach. Whenever other Consciousness Entities spoke of Song Lan, the atmosphere of the conversation would turn oppressive and somber. Thus, although they all hoped for Song Lan to release them, they were fundamentally fearful of his existence.

Theoretically, after becoming a Consciousness Entity, they were no longer subject to the limits of life and death. But Song Lan held many methods to torture and kill other Consciousness Entities.

"Who’s been saying all this?"

Song Lan simply couldn’t believe his ears; these little rats were disregarding all morals, even fabricating facts to smear him!

Not to mention that these shadows appeared to have thinking consciousness, just from their appearance alone they seemed inedible—swallowing these ink-like entities, wouldn’t one fear getting acute gastroenteritis?

"I don’t know; that’s just what everyone says."

In fact, Delta had never seen Song Lan during her living years, so everything she knew about Song Lan was based on various street rumors. All Consciousness Entities had come to a consensus: the further you run from Song Lan, the better.

"Then why did you stay in the Seventh District?"

"I’ve heard that the most dangerous place is often the safest."

δ would later regret her decision deeply, as she had arrogantly assumed that after the "prison" was destroyed, Song Lan would definitely follow the main force. She never expected him to stay behind, nor to arrest her on the spot. "Let me off this time, and I’ll leave right away."

Song Lan didn’t seem angry, and she felt there might still be a chance to save herself.

"No rush, why did the United Government imprison you in that black Pyramid?"

Finding someone who might know about his past was not an opportunity he was willing to let slip away easily.

However, his question only added to δ’s confusion.

She didn’t answer but stared at Song Lan for a long while.

There was a moment when she even doubted whether the man before her was the same terrorizing Tyrant spoken of in rumors, but she quickly dismissed the thought.

Compared to appearances that could easily be altered, Spiritual Geniuses, projections of consciousness and spirit, were the best way to distinguish identity.

Back in the "prison," Song Lan had already used his Spiritual Energy to reveal his identity.

If Song Lan wasn’t feigning ignorance, then it meant that some changes must have taken place within him during the years they were imprisoned.

That was why the Song Lan before her seemed so strange now.

δ cleared her throat, and her tone of speech became much more serious, "No civilization lasts forever; when it begins to decay and gives rise to evil, the world will foster a power to rebel against it ... natural disasters, invasions of foreign enemies, or a force from humanity itself—our power exists to break them."

Song Lan was slightly taken aback; he remembered Lu Xiang’s analysis of δ’s abilities.

She believed it was more like a power given to the weak as a weapon, and if one wished to wield this weapon, they had to be prepared to pay with their lives.

"They can’t eliminate our existence at its roots, so they can only imprison us and study us, longing for the secrets of this power to serve them."

Their research indeed made groundbreaking advancements.

They set up colossal statues in the "prison" that were manipulated by Consciousness Entities, constantly twisting their minds with psychological suggestions, turning them into the Prison Wardens.

They also searched for people with similar characteristics all over the world, gathering them up before they could realize the meaning of their own existence.

That was exactly what she had gone through.

From the moment she had memories, she was kept in a research facility as a test subject, her body toyed with by researchers like they would with Little Mice, until her abilities took shape.

The researchers became frightened of her newly-formed abilities, calling them evil powers that should never exist in the world, sending in swarms of rescuers to round them up and striving to kill the "evil" in the cradle.

Such topics inevitably reminded δ of her own unpleasant past.

But it was the approach of death that made her understand the meaning of her existence.

"To put it in the United Government’s words, we are ’Sinners’ who should not exist; so as a ’Sinner,’ we naturally should strive to destroy everything they have."

δ’s voice returned to its usual tone, and she said to Song Lan in a slightly playful manner, "All of this, isn’t it the theory you once proposed?"
