"Reject? You want to reject me?"
Esdeath's delicate face turned cold for a moment, but then she smiled again.
"That's right. I'm impatient. After all, it's only the second time we've met. I don't even know your name. But it doesn't matter. I'll make you fall in love with me."
The corners of Shen Fu's eyes twitched, and he finally understood what it meant to change his face faster than turning the page in a book. However, Esdeath probably couldn't say that she liked him. She probably just met his requirements for choosing a mate, plus this woman's desire for control. , so it is relatively straightforward to express.
He glanced at Beatrice. If this girl had reminded him last time, this situation would not have happened. In this case...
"No, the reason I refused is because I am already married and this is my daughter."
He bent down slightly, picked up the confused Beatrice, and made her face Esdeath.
"Daughter? Do you already have a daughter? Yes, I saw you taking this little girl with you last time."
Esdeath seemed to have noticed Beatrice only now. Shen Fu had taken her with him even in the battle last time, and judging from her aura, she was very strong at such a young age and had the potential to become a strong person.
"Even so, it doesn't matter. I will treat her as my own daughter."
Showing a gentle smile, he reached out and touched the top of Beatrice's head. Her whole body exuded the glory of motherhood. Shen Fu was startled. He seemed to have seen her look like this in animations. She was comforting her lost comrades. When Seleu, yes, Esdeath had always been very generous to his living subordinates, but he didn't have the slightest pity for his dead subordinates.
"I, I, I refuse!"
Beatrice's cheeks were red and her words were incoherent. She glared fiercely at Shen Fu who was snickering, and a magical halo lit up her hand. Esdeath jumped back slightly as if she was alert, and a small space appeared. The breaking slash hit her original position, cutting the giant ice ball into two halves.
"Hahaha, as you can see, my daughter doesn't like you."
Shen Fu laughed heartily and stretched out his hand to lift his huge new magic rifle in his hand. He was not the protagonist Tazmi in the animation. No one could restrain him. So, what would happen to this Iceberg Queen? Do it.
"You have good strength, and you are able to give birth to such an excellent daughter. I am becoming more and more fond of you."
Esdeath slowly pulled out her long sword, her face as cold as ice, and she obviously thought of Shen Fu's teleportation ability. If she wanted to leave, there was no way she could keep him.
However, his subordinates did not seem to have this ability. With a wave of the long sword, countless huge ice cones emerged with azure light. The sharp points were not Shen Fu, but the magic soldiers behind him.
"Do you know what you're doing?"
Shen Fu suppressed the smile on his face. Although he didn't know why Esdeath appeared here alone, it was obvious that even if the rest of the magic soldiers were allowed to disperse and escape, Tazmi's village would be easily discovered. , if she persists in this way, Yang Zhijun's line will not be able to complete its mission.
His eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Esdeath with a hint of murderous intent. If she insisted on standing opposite him, even if it was a pity, she would never be soft!
"It's so interesting. Do you have the intention to kill me for the sake of your weak subordinates? But it's a pity that although I can't do anything to you, you can't stop me either."
Even in the face of Shen Fu's murderous intent, Esdeath's hand holding the sword did not hesitate at all. There was a chilling atmosphere in the air. She wanted to make the other party realize the cruelty of this world. There was no point in protecting the weak. If you are not strong enough, you will die.
"Esdeath, do you really think you are invincible?"
Shen Fu clenched the handle of the gun in his hand. When he had just obtained the super-civilized time and space transfer device, he also imagined a day when he would be invincible, but in the end he chose another path. If he walked alone, he would be filled with too much energy. There are too many crises and uncertainties.
"No, I never thought so."
Unexpectedly, Esdeath shook her head.
"When I was still very weak, too many people or dangerous species could easily kill me, so in order to survive, I could only continue to become stronger and crush the strong under my feet until I became Be the strongest! Or die because you are weak."
When he talked about his own death, Esdeath's delicate face showed no expression at all, as if he was one of those weak civilians.
"...I see, do you even view your own life in this way?"
Shen Fu understood that Esdeath's philosophy was actually very simple. To put it simply, it was the weak and the strong, and the only reason for death was because of his own weakness. There was no other reason for this, so even if Rhine Bringing Harut here and defeating her will be of no use. Instead, it will strengthen her mistaken belief that she lost only because she was not strong enough.
"But! Esdeath, I have seen a lot of strong people, including people who are far stronger than you and almost invincible. From them, I understand one thing better. The only ones who are truly powerful are countless people who you think are weak. A nation, or civilization, formed by joining together!”
Strictly speaking, Esdeath's philosophy is not wrong, but she ignores the power of the collective and only thinks about the problem from an individual's perspective. Indeed, in an infinite world, individual strength may be able to defeat the collective, but that is just It is possible, but it is not a reason to ignore the importance of overall civilization.
"Oh? Are you saying this to me as a general? But it's a pity that even the army is still not worth mentioning in front of me."
Esdeath showed a disdainful smile. Although she was a general, she rarely commanded the army in combat. In her eyes, the role of the army was to clean the battlefield and clear out the remaining troops. She preferred to fight alone. This was This can also be seen during the final battle in the anime.
However, this is what Shen Fu was waiting for!
"In that case, let's make a bet!"
Putting the magic rifle on his shoulder, a smile appeared on his lips, his robes fluttered in the wind, and Shen Fu's voice sounded in the space.
"Let's have a duel! A duel between you and the one you think is weak! You win, and I will let you do whatever you want! But before that, you are not allowed to interfere with my subordinates anymore!"
I hope you can survive the bombardment by then, Esdeath.
"So, do you plan to use the army to deal with me? You have to know that I just cleared an army not long ago... However, I accepted this bet!"
Esdeath retracted her sword, spread her delicate hands and clenched her fists. In her opinion, Shen Fu was already in her pocket.
