Chapter 257
“Sorry, even if God Lin Que says so, this question is hard for me to answer.”
Ryuu shook her head: “The gap in power is simply too great; perhaps the limit of my imagination is merely the tip of the iceberg of a god.”
“Not a bad answer.”
Lin Que didn’t care about this and even expressed approval.
“In fact, your judgment is correct.”
“Just like now, if I said I could make Juras appear before you again, would you believe it?”
“How is that possible.”
Ryuu frowned slightly, her peripheral vision sweeping toward the corpse on the North North North Side.
“Juras’s head was blown up by me, it’s impossible... eh?”
Before she could finish her sentence, Ryuu suddenly discovered that Juras’s corpse had already recovered completely at some point.
Not only did his head grow back, but even the wounds on his body were all restored.
Perhaps noticing Ryuu’s gaze, Juras suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
“Strange, what’s going on?”
Seeming as if even he hadn’t reacted, Juras looked at Ryuu’s face full of doubt.
“Didn’t I die? Why can I still see...”
Bang~!
Before he could finish speaking, Ryuu’s wooden sword fell first, blowing up Juras’s head again.
After doing this, she stood on the spot and remained silent for several seconds before turning her head to look at Lin Que on the North North North Side.
“...Did you do this?”
“Yes.”
Lin Que admitted it directly: “I did it.”
“Why would you do such a thing!”
Thinking that the dead enemy had suddenly come back to life, such a thing appearing before her, even Ryuu couldn’t help but be a little excited.
“Could it be that you did this just to make me rekindle my anger!”
“Or are you preparing to use the resurrection of Juras as a threat to make me join your Familia!”
“Calm down, although your proposal sounds interesting, I have no interest in resurrecting a man multiple times.”
Lin Que patted Ryuu on the shoulder and replied with a smile: “The reason I did this was just to let you see my power.”
“Reversing life and death, snatching people who should have died back from the realm of death, and making them revive.”
“Ryuu, guess how much of my power I used to do this.”
Ryuu temporarily suppressed the excitement in her heart and guessed a number in cooperation with Lin Que’s question: “Fifty percent?”
“Too high.”
Lin Que shook his head: “I just simply blocked his soul and stuffed it back into his already healed body.”
“For me, such a simple operation doesn’t even use half a percent of my power.”
“Not even half a percent?”
Ryuu’s body paused, and she realized Lin Que’s terror again.
“I already understand that your power is very strong.”
“So what does you going to the extent of resurrecting Juras just to make me understand this have to do with the new deal?”
“You really are slow, Ryuu.”
Lin Que let out a chuckle: “After seeing me easily resurrect Juras, didn’t you think of borrowing my power to do some things?”
“For example... resurrecting your friends.”
Ryuu: “!!!”
Resurrecting friends?
Hearing Lin Que’s words, even Ryuu, who had prepared herself mentally in advance, received a huge shock at this moment.
Standing blankly on the spot with a blank mind, she looked at Lin Que in disbelief, and it took a long time before she opened her mouth to make a sound of expectation.
“Is it really possible to do it?”
Ryuu asked: “Unlike Juras, the corpses of Alise and the others were destroyed five years ago.”
“After so much time, let alone corpses, even their souls have probably reached the Heavenly Realm.”
“Even so, can resurrection still be completed?”
“You’ve already said it’s so serious, so ordinary resurrection methods naturally can’t be used.”
Seeing Ryuu take the bait instantly, the corners of Lin Que’s mouth rose slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
“However... although ordinary resurrection methods can’t be used, unconventional ones can.”
“How to do it!”
“Don’t be in a hurry, Ryuu.”
Lin Que replied with a smile: “After hearing this, I think you should understand what the content of the second deal I mentioned before is, right?”
Ryuu’s body paused: “Resurrecting Alise and the others?”
“That’s right, the content of our second deal is to resurrect all the members of the Astraea Familia who were wiped out five years ago.”
“But unfortunately, this time I won’t make concessions to you, letting you have other choices.”
Lin Que held up two fingers and gestured to Ryuu: “Accept my deal, join my Familia, and I will help you resurrect them.”
“Or refuse my deal and continue to be a shop assistant in that tavern, living in a daze.”
“I will give you one minute to think, if you still haven’t after one minute...”
“I accept this deal!”
Ryuu interrupted Lin Que’s speech directly.
Staring closely at Lin Que, Ryuu, who had been constantly refusing since they met, did not shirk this time.
“As long as you can resurrect Alise and the others! I can accept any price!”
“Even if it means violating the justice you have always insisted on, and personally destroying the order of Orario?”
“...It doesn’t matter!”
Ryuu gritted her teeth, her eyes not wavering in the slightest: “If I really did such a thing, I would personally repent to Goddess Astraea afterward!”
Violating the justice in her heart and destroying the order she had always guarded would inevitably make Ryuu’s heart suffer.
There is no need to question this, because Ryuu had personally experienced it five years ago.
Being burned by the flames of vengeance, personally destroying the order she guarded, just to kill everyone who might be related to the Evilus.
In that revenge where there was no right or wrong, even Ryuu knew that she had inevitably involved innocent people.
Thinking of this matter to this day, Ryuu still has regrets and suffers in her heart.
But... as soon as she thought of herself witnessing her companions die without doing anything, and even personally sending her best friend on her way, this regret would quietly dissipate.
No matter how many times she did it over, Ryuu would raise the weapon in her hand and make the same choice, just like now.
“I’m counting on you! Lin Que!”
“Please help me... resurrect Alise and the others!”
“Ma ma~ since you’ve said so, I naturally won’t let you down.”
Lin Que patted Ryuu’s head with a smile: “To be honest, your answer makes me very satisfied.”
“For your perfect answer, I decided to give you an extra reward.”
“Ryuu, do you want revenge? An opportunity to personally solve the culprit who truly killed the Astraea Familia.”
“The true culprit...”
Ryuu seemed to think of something, and her face became somewhat gloomy.
“Are you talking about... Juggernaut?”
“That’s right.”
Lin Que replied: “The cleaner born only when a certain area of the Dungeon is excessively destroyed, Juggernaut.”
“Do you want to personally kill that Juggernaut from back then and take revenge?”
“Juggernaut is already dead.”
