Chapter 1120: Things I want to do

Franca had been carefully avoiding mentioning certain words, but since Lu Mian had already said it himself, there was no need to care too much.

She whispered in a self-deprecating tone:

"Can you really no longer be arranged?"

After being pulled into the protected area and learning from Anthony and Ludwig what had happened at that time, she felt that she also had "post-traumatic stress disorder from being arranged." Every time she heard similar words, her heart would inevitably ache, and her emotions would follow and sink.

Such symptoms had not shown signs of improvement over time.

Lu Mian was silent for two seconds, raised his right hand, and flicked the strange dark-gold mask in the middle of the head on his left shoulder.

Amidst the clanging sound, the faces of Cheek and Tudor both instinctively frowned.

After nearly a year of adaptation and control, when Lu Mian was in a conscious state, he could substantially influence these two faces and initially control them.

Of course, some details were still impossible.

After flicking the forehead of the dark-gold mask, Lu Mian said in a low voice:

"After fusing with Him, unless the one worshipped by the 'Aurora Order' wins completely, or loses completely, and the true 'God' is born, no one can arrange me again."

"Look, we arrived in the ruin world, made such a big scene, and stayed for such a long time. Relying only on the cover of the 'Fog of War,' can we hide it from the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' and keep Her from casting Her gaze?"

"Is She equivalent to a small version of the 'Original Creator' or the 'original God' who hasn't truly awakened yet, bringing a very high status?" Franca nodded with some realization.

"Many things I want to do later, as long as I am not directly gazed upon, will have very high secrecy." Lu Mian confirmed Franca's guess, sat beside her, and looked at the Trier ruins outside the "Fog of War" from the top of the collapsed clock tower.

Franca was silent for a few seconds and turned her head:

"What exactly do you want to do next?"

The next second, she saw Lu Mian reveal a smile.

That smile was high-spirited, carrying a hint of teasing, an expression Franca had never seen on Lu Mian's face:

"I want to save this world."

In a daze, Franca felt like she was listening to a guy who was used to playing pranks bragging on the spot.

She didn't question it, just asked:

"Is there any hope of success?"

Lu Mian looked at the boundless ruins in front and smiled:

"If I don't do it, and wait until the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' completely crushes the will of Her half-body and completes the fusion, and wait until the barrier in the high sky can no longer be maintained, there will be no hope of success at all. If I do it, at least the hope won't be equal to zero; it will be a little bit more."

"Moreover, saving the world is not just something I am prepared to do; many others are also trying."

Speaking of this, Lu Mian turned to look at Franca, his tone becoming a bit ethereal, as if he had fallen into some memory:

"When I was crazy, no longer having reason and wisdom, and acting purely on divine instinct, this instinct actually allowed me to glimpse certain essences, or rather, roots."

"Everything in this world comes from that original Creator. Various living beings are, Beyonder characteristics are, and the laws of operation of things and the magical development of destiny are."

"What does this mean? It means that if there is separation, there will be aggregation. If a thing has a good side, there will be a bad side, and vice versa."

"This is the origin of the world, the most basic symbol followed by all things. Even a being at the level of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' cannot completely avoid it, and can only reduce the corresponding influence as much as possible."

Franca felt a bit confused:

"I understand dialectics, but what does saying this have to do with what you want to do?"

Lu Mian cast his gaze toward the ruins again:

"The arrangements of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' before did indeed show the power and wonder of their level, achieving multiple goals at once, making our resistance almost a joke. But if there is good, there must be bad. Her arrangements also left behind some things that we can use. This, later, might play a quite important role."

"What things?" Franca understood what Lu Mian wanted to express.

Lu Mian shook his head:

"Some things you can't know yet. You are not an angel yet."

He paused and added:

"Simply put, in order for Omebella to truly be born, the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' made many arrangements. Some came in handy, some encountered failure in the past, and some purely existed as backup plans. Their common point is that they all left behind certain traces, or even matter."

"For example, the bird egg in the depths of the Netherworld, for example, Lugano."

"Lugano?" Franca was surprised first, then relieved, "So you think he still has use?"

Lu Mian smiled:

"I finally understand now that he was attracted by the Gidas soul fragments in my body. It was precisely because of his existence that I was deeply involved in the matter of Father Monserrat and obtained the umbilical cord remains of Omebella."

"After this matter, he actually has no use for the 'Fallen Mother Goddess,' just because of the pollution of the characteristics, making him have certain specialness in his dreams."

"I won't arrange for him to do anything. As long as he is still alive and still submits to me, he can play the role I want in some key link in the future."

Franca didn't ask further, because she was not an angel yet.

She looked blankly at the head in the middle of Lu Mian and smiled bitterly:

"But you, a double Sequence 1 King of Angels, what can you do in the current situation?"

Lu Mian turned his head, looked at Franca's lake-blue eyes, and said with a smile:

"You know what my past was like, and you know very well what things I have experienced. I am a loser. Even if I once stood in the center of the stage and received applause, that was because there were strings manipulating behind me. Don't comfort me; I haven't given up on myself."

"I learned a sentence in the dream city: even a stupid person, after thinking a thousand times and ten thousand times, will get one correct answer. Now, I, who have failed many times, am going to challenge the future again. Perhaps this time I will succeed?"

Speaking of this, Lu Mian's smile became very bright, without hiding his longing and expectation at all.

He then self-deprecatingly added:

"Anyway, for me, no matter what, it won't be worse than the current situation."

Franca looked at the smile on his face and didn't speak for a long time.

"I also want to see what the final resurrection of Aurora and Jenna will look like, and what kind of distortion it will have." Lu Mian's gaze became gloomy again, reflecting the ruins covered with green plants outside the "Fog of War," "At that time, there will inevitably be a disaster sweeping the entire world. For the followers and believers of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess,' this is indeed a disaster."

"You participate in the initial stage, use this to complete the ritual, take the potion, and become a 'Witch of Disaster.' Then, Lady 'Magician' will help you transfer to the edge of the universe or some unnoticed galaxy, where an environment suitable for human survival can be transformed."

Franca was silent for two seconds and said:

"Okay."

"I thought you would refuse." Lu Mian looked at Franca.

Franca looked forward, her eyes crystal clear and her gaze deep:

"I originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that even if I become a Sequence 2 Witch, it seems I won't be of any use."

When the red moon descended, the Witch Sect did not get enough "protection" and lost two "Witches of Disaster"—the "Witch of Blue" and the "Witch of Purple." Among them, the Beyonder characteristics and body materials of the "Witch of Purple" were obtained by the "Angel of Fate" Ouroboros, and after two transactions, they reached Lu Mian, who gave them to Franca. Now they are just waiting for the opportunity to hold the ritual.

Franca paused and revealed a self-mocking smile:

"However, my answer just now was indeed to brush you off, so that you wouldn't continue to persuade me, or let you have worries in your heart, affecting your performance. In short, whether to go or not, we will see the specific situation and the development of things at that time."

Lu Mian nodded the head in the middle and smiled:

"If you really can't go, or don't want to go, then everyone will be together forever, live together, or die together."

"That's a good thing." Franca responded half-emotionally and half-teasingly.

Lu Mian didn't speak again, looking at the ruins, his thoughts drifting to who knows where.

After a while, Franca, who was also staring forward, moved her eyes slightly and glanced at him with her peripheral vision:

"What are you thinking about?"

Lu Mian's head in the middle raised slightly, looking through the "Fog of War" at the crimson moonlight and dim stars in the high sky:

"I was thinking, in a world where Cordu Village didn't encounter that disaster, and all the arrangements, pain, and torture never happened, if there was a good teacher willing to guide me, and guide me together with Aurora, telling me the principles of life and the criteria for being a person, then facing today's situation, facing the crisis involving all mankind, I should, I should also be willing to stand out without any self-destructive tendency, and would also choose to be a true guardian..."

Without waiting for Franca to respond, he laughed to himself:

"Unfortunately, there is no 'if'."

He then stood up, patted the dust off his body, and smiled at Franca who followed him up:

"Let's go back, we have to start the first step of the plan."

Trier, inside that luxury villa.

Just as Lu Mian and Franca entered the living room, they saw Lady "Justice" sitting on a single sofa chatting with Anthony, and Ms. Susie, full of golden fur and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, crouching beside the sofa, with a ladylike posture and a gentle temperament.

Lady "Justice" cast her gaze toward Lu Mian:

"You summoned my messenger and asked me to come over. Is there anything?"

After obtaining the Beyonder characteristics and body materials of Edfana, Lady "Justice," who had long digested the "Dreamwalker" potion, completed the ritual a few months ago and became a Sequence 2 "Insightor," currently a true angel.

Lu Mian's head in the middle revealed a smile and said sincerely:

"My lady, there is something I need your help with."
