The time has come to one day before the "Seven-Day Agreement".
[Queen of No-Man’s Land]
Sits in front of the dressing table, having the court ice sculptor between the kingdoms carve her exquisite features.
Currently, she has gained full support from the Penny family and will jointly head to Sharnoth... After all, the leader of the Penny family has a certain grudge with Grey, and not only did the other party block the gun muzzle with fingers, but also issued an invitation face to face,
According to the family’s style of doing things, they will certainly not be absent.
Not to mention, there is also another equally powerful queen acting together.
At that time, the leader "Gunner - Tom Penny", the third "Matchstick Man - John Penny" will bring the entire family along.
The queen also reported this situation to the President,
If it were before, the President might have rejected such a large-scale [Regional War] targeting Upper Rank Demons... But currently, with Miss Leng seriously wounded returning, and Shui’s life or death uncertain, the plan to lift the cube’s restrictions has failed utterly, leaving them with no retreat.
It’s just right to have a highest-level regional war,
To test what strength the upper-ranked demon, known as [End Master] in S-01, can reach. The rıghtful source is novelFirｅ.net
Also, to verify if the demon will keep their promise, ensuring the fairness of the game in the highest-level war.
Once this regional war achieves a result above a draw,
King-Level existences of the committee will fully initiate invasion on S-01, launching targeted attacks on the realms of each End Master.
For this, the President even personally wrote a letter:
’Queen, I leave this matter to you! As long as you are in charge, Tom won’t be clouded by anger and will surely provide the most formidable firepower attack.
Hope you all could return with an ice coffin sealing an upper-ranked demon or bring back their heads.’
The queen has another extremely important matter yet to be settled,
Which is the transaction reached with Han Dong, inviting Mr. Teacher into the ranks.
Yet, she has not sought out Mr. Teacher, and only one day remains... She delayed it because this matter in her eyes is the hardest to settle,
There is only one chance,
The queen is quite clear,
Mr. Teacher is an ’insidious one’ who is extremely cautious, always putting his own interest and safety issues first.
If the first invitation fails, it will be impossible to get another chance thereafter, it could even elicit suspicion from the teacher, privately passing conjectures to the President, potentially leading to the queen being seen as a ’traitor’.
Though the queen is not afraid of the teacher,
She is somewhat apprehensive of the President.
When the ice sculptor finishes the work at hand, the queen rises... Following the grey mark left on her hand, she heads alone to Sharnoth, to gather some evidence that could convince Mr. Teacher.
Upon reaching the star region where Sharnoth’s realm entrance is located, she immediately receives regional information.
[Grey Realm - Sharnoth]
"Restriction": ①.Individuals need to clearly find the realm’s entrance or have an invitation from Grey.
②.A maximum of three [King Level], no more than fourteen Pseudo-King and above existences entering this area.
The queen is a bit surprised by such a limit, "In terms of fairness, it implies that the Grey Realm also houses three Upper Ranks, right? Are they three different stance Upper Rank Demons,
Or Mr. Gray and his subordinates, or an incarnation?
Since this is his unique realm, the latter possibility is greater... Owning such military power alone, he is indeed fearsome~ truly a man I’ve set my sights on.
Must obtain some substantial memory evidence, otherwise Mr. Teacher will not take the bait."
Just as the queen is taking on the risk of potentially being surrounded and eliminated, preparing to enter the Grey Realm alone,
A familiar aura suddenly appears,
The iconic Vortex of Origin emerges behind her.
As Han Dong steps out a foot, a voice follows:
"Your Majesty! Why did you come early... wasn’t it supposed to be a day later?"
"Deceiving an insidious one like Mr. Teacher isn’t a matter of a few words,
I plan to go to the Grey Realm first, to craft fake evidence that can’t be determined as true or false... It’s only been a few days, why do you seem a bit different from last time.
You seem to have a lot of Mr. Gray’s scent mixed on you?"
As soon as she finishes speaking,
The queen’s cold palm already lands on Han Dong’s head, gently stroking it.
Han Dong is internally startled, but the Faceless expression shows no change.
"It might be related to my recent preparations.
My head is a replica of Grey’s, maybe it’s because I just got out of the warm-up state."
The queen too doesn’t suspect, and nods,
"Indeed~ After all, you will be facing Mr. Teacher as a ’Pseudo-King’, though his power isn’t ranked at the forefront among us, handling him is still quite troublesome.
Even if I want to kill him, it would require preparation over some time and certain advantageous conditions.
Since you’re here, lead me to the Grey Realm, will you?"
Han Dong displays a pondering expression for the queen, speaking thoughtfully:
"Actually, I’m not quite sure about the game rules, once you as an [Uncontrolled One] enter the combat zone, it could very likely be counted as the beginning of the invasion... fear some price might have to be paid to exit.
How about this, I have a better plan.
Let’s stage a perfect pursuit drama.
The script roughly goes :
The connection between you and Skull Girl can hardly be completely severed, and it happens I have imprisoned one of your [lieutenants] within my body.
While you roam S-01, you suddenly sense the breath of the lieutenant and immediately embark on a chase against me.
I rely on my familiarity with S-01, enduring painstaking effort, even scrapping part of my body, fleeing to this star region, forced to hide in Sharnoth.
As long as the performance is convincing enough, Mr. Teacher won’t possibly refuse, not to mention I also suffer from your absolute freezing, barely able to struggle under severe injuries."
"Acting? Mr. Teacher is quite a clever, despicable fellow, can he really be deceived?"
Faced with the queen’s doubts,
Han Dong slightly lifts the corners of his mouth, blood marks seeping around his lips, retorting: "Why not? Didn’t I completely fool him once during my tour at B.B.C.? Moreover, there’s your assistance this time.
Come, let’s begin the drama~
Queen, you must not hold back, you must have the mindset to kill me, to complete this act."
[Dark Side of the Moon]
A wave of cold air sweeps through, accompanied by the queen’s figure falling within the shadows.
Out of the shadows, Mr. Teacher’s first incarnation steps forward.
"Your Majesty, I heard you will cooperate with the Penny family, jointly launching an invasion on the upper-rank demon’s territory... what’s the matter with you coming to me? Could it be you want me to join?
Although I’d love to help, I’m more concerned about the situation on the human side, these natives are quite interesting."
The queen, towering over Mr. Teacher by a whole head, looks down at him, her speech bringing an intense chill that even covers the moon.
"Teacher... if you’re unwilling, I will pass the opportunity to Mr. Goodman,
He is quite willing to join me and the Penny family, heading to the [Grey Realm] together, to execute a certain one called Nicholas, or also known as Han Dong.
If not for our previous cooperation in the human city, I wouldn’t have come to you at all.
Though Mr. Goodman is hard to control, his special traits and briefcase greatly improve our chances at taking down an upper rank."
"What, how could that brat be there? How did you know?"
A wave of cold air from the queen’s mouth directly seeps into the teacher’s brain.
"I’ll give you three seconds, I don’t wish to waste time~ Mr. Teacher."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this opportunity..."
