Take it away? "
Agulola's words caused everyone present to be stunned.
Including Rozen, who was startled at first, then frowned.
"Why would you think that?"
Rozen asked Agourola in confusion.
It should be noted that although the twelfth beast was in Agourola's body, it also represented her. If Rozen were to take the beast away, it would be no different from him killing Agourola with his own hands.
Therefore, Agulola's words were both surprising and puzzling to everyone.
However, it seemed like Agourola did not say something like that casually.
"My compatriots are now yours, and I'm the only one left."
Agourola spoke as if he had come to a realization.
"If you can bring back all of the fourth true ancestor's beasts, your power will definitely increase tremendously, so …"
Before Agourola could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Rozen.
"That's enough." Rozen said in an indisputable tone, "Don't mention this again in the future."
So Rozen interrupted Agourola in the most direct way possible.
"B-But …!"
Agourola wanted to say something else, but Rozen continued to stop him.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who needs to sacrifice the people around me to gain power?"
Rozen's straightforward words rendered Agourola speechless.
It was not that everyone did not understand what Agourola meant.
Indeed, if he could bring back all 12 beasts, Rozen would be able to obtain the complete power of the fourth true ancestor. They believed that it would be of great help to Rozen.
After all, it was one of the strongest beasts in the world. If he could gather all 12 beasts of such a level, it would definitely be of great significance.
Even Rozen could not summon a beast of such a level casually.
Therefore, if he could obtain such power for no reason, Rozen would certainly be willing to do so.
However, the preamble was gratuitous.
Just like what Rozen said, was he the kind of person who needed to sacrifice the people around him to gain power?
If he was that kind of person, he would have more than a hundred ways to make himself several times stronger. After all, there was a large amount of Knowledge of Magical Divinity lying dormant in his mind, and there were quite a few forbidden spells that could grant one astonishing power.
However, those forbidden techniques either required extremely cruel conditions or required a considerable sacrifice. Anyone with a bit of humanity would not want to use them.
If Rozen was the kind of person who desperately wanted to obtain power, then with this method, he would have become invincible long ago. Why would he still need to worry about the problem of how much power he had?
It was precisely because he could not do it that he did not do it.
Besides, even though he couldn't summon a beast of the Fourth True Ancestor's level easily, it didn't mean that he couldn't summon it at all.
Was the Golden Crow going to lose to the beast of the fourth True Ancestor?
Was the Jade Rabbit going to lose to the beast of the fourth True Ancestor?
Was the Big Dipper going to lose to the beast of the fourth True Ancestor?
Or were the Servant girls who were still silently protecting him in his body, as well as the many high-level Familiars in his soul, going to lose to the beast of the fourth True Ancestor?
Given that, Rozen was more or less tempted by the power of the fourth True Ancestor's beast of the fourth True Ancestor, but that was all.
"If the price of obtaining such power is your life, then I'd rather not have it. Do you understand?"
Rozen told Agulola this.
"… I know that thou art a gentle human. Otherwise, thou wouldst not have protected me until now."
Agulola seemed to have mixed feelings in his heart, but he still spoke like this.
"But when I return to my beast form, I don't disappear from the world. I merely abandoned my current physical body, and Number Twelve, which represents myself, still exists."
Agulola's meaning was very obvious. He was saying that even if Rozen took away Number Twelve's beast form, it didn't mean that she was dead.
She was both Agulola and Number Twelve's beast form. Even if Rozen took away Number Twelve's beast form, Agulola would still exist forever. She might even stay by Rozen's side forever and become one with him.
That was probably what Agulola wanted to do.
However, Agulola's words weren't enough to convince Rozen.
"If you really turn back into a beast form, you'll never be able to return to your human form, and you won't be able to continue living a normal life. You won't be able to eat ice cream, and you won't be able to go to school. Do you think that's okay?"
Rozen looked straight into Agulola's eyes and said this calmly.
"Ugh …"
Agulola flinched at once.
Seeing this, Rozen smiled and reached out to touch Agulola's head.
"Don't force yourself. You're not mature enough to give up everything." Rozen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't forget that your sisters see you as their hope. Your survival is their wish. For this reason, they, who are clearly the strongest beast form in the world, chose to submit to a mere human like me. I've accepted their loyalty, so I'll naturally protect you instead of asking for your power. Do you understand?"
"Hmm …" Agulola nodded with difficulty and said in a low voice, "Then, do you really not plan to become one with me?"
"Of course," Rozen said without hesitation, "That's not what you want, is it?"
Upon hearing that, Agulola smiled.
However, for some reason, that smile contained some sadness, complexity, and a hint of bitterness.
Then …
"I … I'm a little envious of my sisters …"
Agulola said that in the voice of a mosquito.
"Agulola?"
Rozen was instantly stunned.
Before Rozen could ask clearly, Agulola turned around, grabbed Yusha and Xia Yin's hands, and ran away as if she was escaping.
"Wait … Wait! Agulola! She hasn't taken off her apron yet! She hasn't put down her spoon either! "
"Slow … Slow down!"
Yusha and Xia Yin's exclamation rang out immediately.
"Yusha!"
Gu Cheng hurriedly chased after her. Yuma, who came over after the call, also ran with a bitter smile.
Only Rozen and Xue Cai were left at the scene.
Rozen and Xue Cai both stared at the direction where Agulola left.
"That girl …"
Rozen sighed silently.
"Senior." Xue Cai comforted Rozen and said, "Don't worry too much. Don't be fooled by how worried Agulola is. She's actually very strong sometimes."
"I know." Rozen spread his hands and said, "Perhaps I've gone too far. I've absorbed all her brethren in this world into my blood, leaving her alone in this world. I can understand why she feels complicated."
"But you didn't do that on purpose, did you?" Xue Cai said rather seriously, "The Fourth True Ancestor's beasts are all willing to follow you. It's an unparalleled feat for a human to gain the recognition of the eleven strongest beasts in the world. At the same time, it's also the children's own choice."
"I know that too." Rozen pouted, then looked at Xue Cai and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you, who views this power as something dangerous, would comfort me instead."
Hearing that, Xue Cai's expression froze, then she left angrily.
Rozen could only chuckle as he followed her.
At that moment …
"Ugh …"
Xue Cai, who was walking in front, suddenly swayed.
