Fallen Chronicles-Chapter 370 : Five, Not One Less

After reading the last diary, Renji completely resolved all his doubts.

The most surprising yet reasonable one was probably about Eileen.

Initially, Renji did not notice Eileen's differences. She was just a slightly stubborn and talkative scavenger.

However, as he traveled to various countries and encountered more powerful people, it would have been difficult for a scavenger girl like Eileen to accept. Yet, she showed no fear and continued to be his capable assistant, playing a crucial role in many situations.

Even his identity as the "Emperor Ashen" did not seem to oppress or make Eileen nervous. If anything, it was because Renji gave her a relatively relaxed first impression.

Later, when Nova, Zero, Suthia, the "Supreme" beings who were revered in the world five hundred years later surrounded him, the scavenger girl remained unchanged. She still called him "old timer" and later, when he became "Doctor," she remained friendly, like a best friend, with no hint of fear.

Although Renji learned from 86 that Eileen sometimes felt inferior when she was alone, she would regain her energy after sleeping. Even as she meet and contract with the most powerful beings in the world, she remained cheerful and had an incredible ability to accept things.

Renji was happy to see this and initially thought that Eileen was just a carefree and broad-minded person.

But now it seems,

'indeed, no matter how broad-minded one is, one cannot be to such an extent. No matter how strong one's acceptance ability is, the presence of 'Supreme' beings like Suthia inherently exerts tremendous pressure, which cannot simply be alleviated by a good mentality, unless…'

'Unless they were of the same level or at least close.'

In a sense, possessing both the 'Source Essence' residue and Lena's remaining soul, Eileen indeed fits the identity of a 'Scavenger'.

'This also explained why Lena seemed to have anticipated my every move'

Whether it was in the Dragon Nation or the Mechanical Alliance, Lena was not present, but the shadow of the Succubus was everywhere. This was undoubtedly Lena's meticulous strategy, but the Succubus's "eyes," Eileen, was also a significant factor.

Renji shook his head.

'When I saw how Lena spoke ill of her mother in her diary, I should have guessed it'

'Lena, you've always been by my side, haven't you??'

If playing with people's hearts is what the Succubus race is best at, then Renji admits, he has indeed been thoroughly played with.

Renji's hand clenched into a fist on the desk beside the diary.

After taking several deep breaths, Renji suppressed his emotions and calmed himself down.

'I need to be calm, especially in situation like this'

'First and foremost, there was no doubt that I must find Lena'

'Ever since I decided to enter the "second round," I had made it clear that I did not care about any strength or being an emperor. I only want to be with my five wives'

'All five of them, and not one less.'

Renji did not hesitate and walked straight out of the room. Outside, the Sin Tower was in an uproar, and even the entire Sin City was in chaos.

The reason was that various strange phenomena appeared in the sky above. Some saw dark clouds gathering, while others saw fire clouds or layers of darkness shrouding the sky. From these sky anomalies, some people saw enormous and terrifying creatures that seemed to be about to rush into their world.

Outside the room, Suthia and the others had been waiting for Renji. As the world's strongest forces, they were the first to notice the world's abnormality, and their expressions were very serious.

However, when Renji walked out, they first froze, then showed unmatched joy because...

"Lord Renji, your power..."

As a warrior, Nova could not help but speak first. She was sure that although the young man in front of her had changed in appearance from five hundred years ago and no longer wore a cloak, his power made her feel the same awe as when she faced Emperor Ashen.

Renji first nodded to everyone, then looked toward the sky, where anomalies appeared due to the invasion of the "Source."(The creature behind the scens).

With his current strength, he could easily sense the distant sky. It was then that Renji discovered a thin layer of green membrane in front of these sky anomalies, like the atmosphere, protecting their world and preventing those mythical creatures from entering.

'Could it be...'

Renji seemed to understand something, and his heart felt a little more at ease. He then waved at his three women, inviting them into the room.

At this point, there were no secrets worth hiding.

Renji frankly revealed Lena's diary, his identity, and the truth about the world to them.

He was ready to face the anger, frustration, and even the worst-case scenario, disappointment, and disgust from Suthia and the others after learning the truth.

However, in fact, Nova and Zero's reactions were quite calm.

"Lord Ashen, you only need to tell me who the enemy is, and I will help you rescue Lena," Nova said firmly.

'Yes, it seems she gave up thinking because it was too complicated'

As for Zero, her answer was simple:[Master, give the order, and we will find Lena together]

For Zero, a maid's responsibility is to accept everything from her master.

Both of them focused entirely on Lena.

As for Renji, how he was, the truth before, and the present Renji who was beside them, that should be enough, right?

Only Suthia was relatively silent, lowering her head. Indeed, among the three, the seemingly gentle and approachable nun was the one who thought the most.

'This truth must have been very heavy for her...'

"Lord Renji, we must bring Lena back, okay?"

The nun quickly raised her head, and her gaze was no longer that of a gentle holy nun, but rather had a dark feeling. Even her voice became much more powerful.

"After all..."

"Thia doesn't want Lena to win so easily, hehe... hehehe~"

Clearly, what Suthia was concerned about, what made her lower her head in silence, was not Renji's identity and background, but everything Lena had done for Renji in the memory point.

She.

She actually couldn't compare, not even close to Lena.

For a jealous person, if there was one thing in the world that they could not tolerate, it would be someone else paying more for their beloved than they did.

And what was even more intolerable was that this "someone else" was a Succubus.

"Lord Renji, according to Lena's diary description of the future, the Source should have launched an attack the moment you gained power, but now..."

Suthia, who was already in her state, was the first to notice something wrong.

Indeed.

Renji had also discovered when he looked up at the sky just now that the world seemed to be protected, and at least in the short term, these mythical creatures could not invade. Otherwise, Renji would not even have time to explain to them now, and he would have to go straight into battle.

This green screen barrier that blocked the "Source" obviously did not appear out of thin air.

In this world, the only one who could do this was probably the last one remaining among "them."

The one who joined Renji's team in the late stage of the game, even later than "Lena."

The Elven Empress, Miyuki.

Miyuki also participated in Lena's plan.

Moreover, she was a very important part of it.

No.

It should be said that Lena learned the truth of this world with Miyuki's help.

So his next direction was already very clear.

The Forest Alliance.
