Leader?
Tang Hao was momentarily stunned by the sight of all the people kneeling before him. He instinctively waved his hand and said, "I'm a little overwhelmed by the favor. I only did a little bit of work. The position of the Alliance Master is really …"
"No need to be humble." The Snake of Ritual said, "Thy slight effort has saved countless lives, this honor is due to thee. Moreover, although thou is a god, thou is also a human. The grievances between us apostles and the Mist of Fire Warriors have been going on for thousands of years. Even if the Realm of Nothingness is established, it may not be able to completely settle the dispute between both sides in a short period of time. At this time, there is nothing more suitable than for thee to assume the position of leader. "
"Oh, so it's like that."
Tang Hao immediately understood. The Snake of Ritual had another deeper meaning in making him the new leader, and that was to express its stance.
It should be known that people like Shana who were specially raised as Mist of Fire Warriors were extremely rare. Most of the Mist of Fire Warriors only signed a contract with the Red Demon King out of hatred after their loved ones and friends were eaten by the apostles. Although the process of their crusade against the apostles was to maintain the balance of the world, their personal will was still to take revenge. A large portion of the Mist of Fire Warriors even wanted to eliminate all the apostles.
With this mindset, even if the masquerade party gave up on the modern world, whether or not the Mist of Fire Warriors would accept it was another matter.
In the original work, after the Realm of Nothingness was established, both sides indeed stopped fighting. The remaining apostles and Mist of Fire Warriors almost all entered the Realm of Nothingness, but … there was a precondition for this, and that was war.
Before the Realm of Nothingness was established, both sides had already started a cruel war. The Mist of Fire Warriors and apostles both suffered countless casualties. In the words of the Samsara Pain, it was to make the world suffer. It was precisely because too many lives were lost in that war, especially the deaths of some of the pro-war factions, that the remaining people desired peace even more, which was why they were able to reach an agreement to stop the war.
There was an old saying: how can you see the rainbow without experiencing the wind and rain?
Meanwhile, right now, the war hadn't erupted yet, all of their hatred unable to be vented. The apostles had previously eaten so many existences, harmed so many people, yet now, they stopped just like that. Would the mist of flames that harbored resentment truly be able to let this matter go?
Obviously, this wasn't very likely.
In fact, if it wasn't handled well, the war between the two sides might even affect the Boundless Realm.
Meanwhile, the Sacrificial Snake transferring the position of Alliance Master to Tang Hao was, in reality, expressing its stance towards the mist of fire. The human whose life and death were previously in the hands of the apostles was now standing above the apostles. This was a type of unilateral compromise and concession.
"But will it really work?" Tang Hao was puzzled.
Although he was a human, he was just a passerby in this world. He couldn't represent the humans in this world, so he didn't think that such a compromise would be acceptable to the fire mist.
The Snake of Ritual said, "No matter what, this is what we should do. Even if we can't understand it in a short period of time, as long as we communicate and negotiate, we will eventually find a way that satisfies both sides. I believe that there will be wise people in the upper echelons of the Fire Mist."
"Alright." Tang Hao nodded. After all, the grievances of this world didn't have much to do with him, so he didn't need to worry too much about it. As for the position of Alliance Master, after thinking about it carefully, it wasn't really that useful. After all, there was only a limit of three decorations. Even if there was an army willing to sacrifice themselves for him, he couldn't bring the entire army out.
However, maybe it would be possible in the future?
Moreover, even if it was just a decoration, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
And so, under the Snake of Ritual's suggestion, Tang Hao took over Hecate's triangular staff and became the new Alliance Master of the masquerade ball. Of course, the ceremony was just a ceremony, a symbol of status. After the ceremony ended, the triangular staff was returned to Hecate.
In short, the masquerade ball came to an end just like that. After everything was settled, the Snake of Ritual closed its eyes in satisfaction and gradually disappeared into the flames, continuing its slumber.
After that, as the Seal of Extinction was lifted, the Dawnstar Temple disappeared from the sky above Misaki City. Tang Hao and the others also returned home.
After eating books for seven days and seven nights, even with the support of the existence of hundreds of disciples of the red world, Tang Hao was almost as tired as a dog. When he got home, he was not even in the mood to look at his phone and directly fell asleep.
He slept for the whole day.
The next day, when Tang Hao opened his eyes in a daze, he heard knocking on the door and Mikoto's shouting.
"It's out! It's out! "
"What's out?" Tang Hao opened the door and saw Mikoto's face full of excitement.
Mikoto smiled and directly showed him her phone. "Look."
In an instant, Tang Hao's eyes lit up a little. He looked at it carefully and saw that it was a list of causality points, from bottom to top:
Yuji Sakai: 50
Qian Bian: 50
Hecate: 95
Snake of Ritual: 98
Shana: 100
"In the end, it's still Shana … wait, isn't this a little wrong?" Tang Hao scratched his head.
"What's wrong?" Mikoto asked.
"Have you shown it to Youzhu?"
"Yes, she said there's no problem."
"No problem … Oh, I see." Tang Hao thought about it and suddenly realized.
According to Youzhu's theory, because of their relationship, Hecate's death was avoided, so Shana's causality points couldn't exceed Hecate's. But at the same time, the Snake of Ritual's causality points exceeded Hecate's. This was obviously because Tang Hao swallowed part of his divinity, and during that time, Tang Hao swallowed not only the Snake of Ritual's divinity, but also a part of the Calamity Fire of Heaven.
They were all Red World Demon Gods, but they had the Snake of Ritual, but not the Calamity Fire of Heaven.
Was the God of Divine Punishment not worthy of a name?
Obviously not, so there was only one answer: Shana's causality points also included the Calamity Fire of Heaven. They were one, so they surpassed the others and ranked first.
"By the way, why don't I see Youzhu?"
"She's in the yard."
Tang Hao turned his head and saw through the window that Youzhu was talking to their cheap sister in the yard. Youzhu was handing over something that looked like a passbook.
Mikoto was also watching, but her eyes were no longer gloomy. Instead, there was a hint of a smile and relief. She said, "According to the original plan, I opened an account in the bank and left a sum of money for Sister Meixiang. I will transfer it to her account regularly every month. As long as we don't waste too much, it will be enough for the mother and daughter to live for 20 years. By then, Xiaojing will have grown up, and with the establishment of the Realm of Nothingness, the Red World Apostles won't mess around anymore. Even if we leave, they can live in peace."
"Well, it seems that it's time for us to leave." Tang Hao nodded with a smile.
Not long after, Tang Hao and the other two left the house where they had lived for a short time. When they walked more than ten meters away, Tang Hao looked back. In the familiar small yard, the young woman was holding the four or five-year-old child and humming a song softly. The song was the Super Electromagnetic Gun song that he was very familiar with.
Before leaving, Youzhu dispelled her cognitive magic. The traces of the three of them living in that house were completely erased, but a little something was left. Whether or not the mother and daughter could remember it in the future … I hope everything is fine.
Tang Hao said to himself, then turned his head and walked forward without hesitation.
A few minutes later, Tang Hao and the other two arrived at Yuji's house, but before they could enter the door …
"Urusei Urusei Urusei!"
With a familiar curse, a figure flew out of the yard and fell in front of the three of them.
Tang Hao looked down and saw that it was Yuji Sakai, and opposite him was Shana, who was fuming with anger.
"What's going on?" Tang Hao asked curiously.
"Uh … Sensei, it's you guys …" Yuji Sakai stood up, but halfway through his sentence, Shana kicked him in the face again. "Shut up, idiot Yuji!"
Yuji Sakai hit the wall miserably, but Tang Hao didn't care. This guy wouldn't die anyway. He looked at Shana and asked, "What are you guys doing?"
"Hmph, idiot Yuji, because of Hirai …"
"Hirai?" Tang Hao was stunned. Only then did he realize that Shana was no longer wearing her school uniform, but the one she had worn when they first met. Then he remembered that Shana had watched "Shana the Burning Eye" and suddenly understood.
Also, Tang Hao could feel that Hirai was no longer with Shana.
"Nothing, I just wanted to beat him up," Shana said nonchalantly. Shana said nonchalantly, "By the way, I was just about to look for you guys. Since you guys came first, let's say goodbye here."
"Say goodbye?"
"Yes, we've decided to leave this city." Shana nodded. "The Realm of Nothingness has been created, but the conflict between the apostles and the Fire Mist hasn't been resolved, so I plan to go to the headquarters of the Fire Mist Warriors and try to convince as many people as possible to make this world truly peaceful."
Mikoto blinked her eyes. "Did you just say you guys?"
"That's right, I'm leaving with Shana." Yuji Sakai got up. "Shana told me about what happened in the Starry Palace. Although I'm not very capable, I want to do my part, and I don't want Shana to be alone."
"I see. That's not a bad idea. Do your best." Tang Hao patted his shoulder.
"Yes!" Yuji Sakai nodded.
"Then when are you guys leaving?"
"It's today. I've applied for leave from school, and I've told my mom. Of course, I'm going on a vacation, and I'll be back in a few months," Sakai Yuji said. His face was filled with both anticipation and reluctance to leave.
This world had changed a lot, and the ending had come early, but Shana and Yuji's adventure hadn't ended yet.
Tang Hao sighed and suddenly remembered something. He asked Shana, "By the way, you have a phone, right?"
"Yes, why?"
Shana bought a phone a long time ago because of Mikoto.
"Then did you receive something, like … a strange icon that suddenly appeared on your desktop?"
"Strange icon?" Shana instinctively took out her phone and looked. "No."
Tang Hao moved closer and didn't see the icon of a chatroom. This was different from before. In the past, they could directly invite people after completing a mission. Did this change too? Or did they have to wait for them to leave this world?
"Is there a problem?"
"No." Tang Hao smiled and shook his head. He suddenly had an idea and said, "We're also preparing to leave this world. But after we leave, something interesting might appear on your phone. Remember to click on it. Maybe we'll have a chance to meet again."
"What? Why are you being so mysterious … Okay, I got it."
Shana didn't think much about it and remembered it.
After saying goodbye to each other, Shana and Yuji left first. When their figures completely disappeared from the street, Tang Hao and the other two returned to Starry Palace. They said goodbye to Hecate and returned to their respective worlds.
…
Beep beep beep —
When Tang Hao and the other two left, Shana and Sakai Yuji were already on the train to another city. She was eating pineapple bread when she heard her phone beep. She immediately took it out of her pocket and looked down.
"Huh, a strange icon … A 2D chatroom?"
Shana frowned. She thought it was strange at first, but when she remembered what Tang Hao said before he left, she suddenly thought of something … Wait a minute! Could this be the secret of how Tang Hao and the others could travel to another world?
Shana couldn't help but reach out her finger and carefully tapped on it.
A few minutes later, this sentence appeared in the public channel of the chatroom.
Shana: Amethyst? Oh, I remember now. You're the useless tool that Tang Hao was talking about!
