Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1299 - 137: Fulfillment of All Wishes (Part 2)_3

"There’s no need to view things so pessimistically. There’s still an optimistic interpretation: death frees the dead souls from reality, allowing them to let go of past grievances. I prefer this idea—positive, hopeful."

A kindly, gentle male voice sounded. The old leader Macrow was leisurely walking over, curiously observing everything around him. Gongsun Ce greeted him happily and ran to his side: "Are you okay?"

"Quite alright, Knight Alandia did some emergency treatment for me." The old man said with a smiling face, "Which interpretation do you believe more, Knight Gongsun?"

Gongsun Ce adjusted his glasses: "Rationally, I believe the first one, emotionally, I lean towards the second."

"Naturally, we cannot comprehend the mechanics of the Kong Hua Realm; mortals never touch the Domain of Kings. But we should still keep a piece of optimism in our hearts; if we imagine everything in the worst possible way, how bad would this world become?" The old leader patted his arm.

Gongsun Ce couldn’t help but joke, "That doesn’t sound like a Silent Phase Mage."

Macrow glanced at Kerky intentionally or unintentionally, winking: "The more a Silent Phase Mage, the more optimistic and upbeat one should be, otherwise how do you move forward?"

Gongsun Ce vaguely felt there was more to these words, but Macrow soon changed the topic, talking leisurely: "By the way, I just met with Her Majesty the Queen, things are quite lively over there."

"Ah..." Gongsun Ce recalled the affairs of the capital, feeling a bit worried, "Did you see... Yuliy and Sara?"

Macrow’s expression was exceptionally joyful, wrinkles on his face smiling widely.

"No, child, I didn’t see them in the Kong Hua Realm." Macrow laughed heartily, "For the Country, this news couldn’t be better!"

Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment, then understood and laughed heartily with the old man, high-fiving. Kerky showed no reaction upon hearing this, Jane Della was secretly probing Qiluo for something. He ignored the little moves of the dead souls, eagerly heading towards the Colored Glaze Mountain.

The further to the town’s edge, the sparser the population became. Near the exit, Gongsun Ce saw a peculiar sight: Jane Grey Morton hiding in a corner, watching familiar faces in the distance. She was in that gorgeous royal outfit, with a somewhat forlorn look on her face.

Kerky made a silent gesture, floating like a wisp of smoke to Grey’s back, suddenly leaning on her shoulder. She softly said before Grey could scream, "Hey, little Queen, why acting like a solitary bird?"

"Hyde?!" Grey looked shocked, "You... you’re here too..."

"The old troupe members are all here. Unexpectedly, in a mere four years, most of us are dead!" Kerky said gleefully, "By the way, I heard you mentioned getting into bed with me in front of many people? You’ve become quite open compared to before~"

"How could I... Gongsun Ce!!"

Grey, enraged, looked very much like another Jane. Gongsun Ce replied with a disdainful cold smile. He mimicked the other’s tone: "Kerky? She’s my spy. A little concern, verbal affection, a few times in bed, and you get such practical——"

"Shut up!!"

The furious Grey was restrained by her spy. Kerky controlled the former Queen with one hand, her other hand skillfully roaming over her: "That ’practical’ evaluation sounds good, glad you still remember me~"

Gongsun Ce, like a drunkard, whistled and clapped, making Jane Grey grit her teeth. He left the corner, heading towards the plaza Grey was gazing at, where several prominent figures were conversing. The old Queen held the arm of a handsome middle-aged man, behind her, Prince Charlie’s face was changing. Opposite them stood the expressionless Gaius Otimis.

"...So that’s what happened back then?" Queen Annie shook her head continuously, "The Otimis family’s internal feud? You planned to do such a big thing but kept it from me?"

The handsome middle-aged man beside her was a typical Otimis, with a handsome face and a head of brown hair. He showed a guilty expression: "Dear, I didn’t want you to know I initially harbored ulterior motives..."

The old queen chided him without mercy: "Olerian, you’re nothing but a complete fool, you and I are so far apart in age, I knew from the start your intentions were not that pure! Look at you all those years ago, two powerful men had countless ways to resolve this dispute but chose to duel. Even Charlie managed to handle it more cleverly than you!"

Olerian meekly accepted his lover’s rebuke, and the elderly lady sighed heavily, looking at Gaius opposite: "And you, you were right. I won’t trust you, you are still an enemy to the Country... but you avenged Olerian... Alas! Things didn’t have to come to this, they didn’t have to."

"I don’t care what you think." Gaius said dryly, "I did what I had to do, now my task is finished."

He intended to leave immediately as he spoke. Olerian called him from behind, his face laden with guilt. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"In this matter, Gaius, my father and I have wronged you." Olerian said, "I know I lack the right, but I still want to say you did very well... You’ve worked hard these past fifteen years, I’m proud of you."

Gaius paused, said nothing, and just left. The old queen watched him go afar, turning her gaze to the corner where Grey was hiding, her voice cold.

"Now, Jane Grey Morton, how long do you intend to stand there? You have the courage to betray your country for glory, but none to face your parents and siblings?"

Grey emerged from the corner, glaring fiercely at her mother like a wolf about to go mad. The atmosphere on site had reached the extreme tension, at this moment, the troubled Prince Charlie stepped out, approaching his sister step by step.

"Alright, Grey." Charlie sighed, "Mom will sentence you to the death prison, give you a public trial nationwide, parade you for redemption, and then decapitate you on the guillotine, if everyone were alive, she would surely do so. But what does it matter now? We’re all dead, can’t touch a woman’s face or smell the flowers of the capital. The dead can’t do anything anymore... Can’t do anything at all!"

Grey slowly walked to her mother’s front alone. The old queen gave her a loud slap, then turned to Gongsun Ce, her expression softening.

"Go quickly, my child, the Dawn Knight awaits you at the foot of the mountain." Queen Annie said gently, "There’s no way to express my gratitude to you, to the living. I can only say thank you."

"It’s nothing." Gongsun Ce blinked. He left the square, walked out of the town’s limits, and saw a mountain path leading into the Crystal Mountain Range. The Dawn Knight stood at the entrance of the mountain path, still clad in sacred armor, using starlight to reinforce the Array surrounding the peaks.

"I have extended the Holy Grail Ceremony using the Kong Hua Realm’s power." She explained first, "The phenomenon of resurrecting dead souls appearing globally will cause extremely bad turmoil, preventing the spread of the Kong Hua Realm is the top priority."

Gongsun Ce glanced back: "Thanks for the explanation, Knight lady, there’s someone else waiting for you here. She’s been quietly following me, unable to bring herself to ask about your situation."

Jane Della had been following him from a distance. The former attendant looked at the knight she served, her once jealousy-filled green eyes full of guilt and tears. When she spoke, she stuttered like a country girl meeting her idol for the first time: "I’m sorry, Knight Alandia. I, I don’t expect your forgiveness, I just... I..."

Alandia smiled slightly, her tone gentle.

"Thank you for your concern, Jane. I’m living happily now."

She was always so omniscient. She knew the dead souls stayed in the state before dying, knew what thoughts might be in Jane’s small head. She followed Gongsun Ce all the way here not for any great deed, but because she was deeply tormented by guilt and remorse, wanting to know if the knight she once betrayed was doing well.

Jane Della knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. The Dawn Knight helped her up, patting the former attendant’s shoulder as usual. Jane awkwardly wiped her tears, speaking with a sob: "Knight Alandia, I appreciate you... I must remind you of one thing, you must pay attention!"

Alandia was somewhat surprised, Jane dried her tears, glaring fiercely at Gongsun Ce: "That man already has a lover, he flirts and entangles indiscriminately with several ladies, even his friends disdain his behavior. You mustn’t be deceived by his feelings!"
