Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 200 - 169 Damn Text: The fish is hooked, Aina: This is the taste of brother~(4k)_1
This is the interior of the Winter Divine Tree.
The extremely cold Yuan Su transformed into floating ice crystals, densely packed, filling almost every corner. The Book of Snowice drifted in the center of the ice crystals, as if breathing, flickering with a faint light.
Apart from the Winter Testament, that is, the Book of Snowice, there was also a small space constructed out of countless runes just below it.
There was no sign of life here.
The Rune Space, created by the strength of the Winter Divine Tree, was not repelled by the power of the Divine Tree itself, which was why Liya and the others could survive here for a long time.
Suddenly, parts of the fine ice crystals began to converge, forming a humanoid figure.
Then, on top of the ice crystals, different colors appeared, like a plaster model being painted, red, flesh color, black, white... Pure ice flowers blossomed on the body of the humanoid figure.
In a flash, a man in his thirties, almost completely naked, materialized around the ice crystals, with ice flowers wrapped around his chest and lower body, concealing the important parts.
Anyone who had seen him would recognize that he was the former City Owner, Hiss.
Hiss looked disdainfully at his current appearance and flicked an ice flower on his chest.
If he went out like this and was seen by acquaintances, he’d probably be laughed out of town.
Fortunately, he didn’t need any acquaintances anymore; he no longer required any.
He looked at the Rune Space shrouded by countless ice crystals ahead, whose barrier was gradually weakening, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
A complex and exotic triple ring pattern inscribed with snow-white runes appeared before his eyes.
The pattern was missing one tenth from the lower right corner.
Soon, it was finally about to be complete.
The Omen was about to be fully restored.
The corners of Hiss’s mouth turned up in a smile filled with the joy of impending success.
But the smile soon disappeared.
What did he have to be proud of?
A task that should have been accomplished three years ago had been unnecessarily drawn out by Liya alone.
Liya’s reaction speed was indeed too quick.
She managed to make a snap decision in just a few seconds after obtaining the True Canon, leading a group of people into the interior of the Divine Tree, and she also possessed the mysterious skill of transforming the Divine Tree’s power into runes to construct a space.
Indeed, she was the woman he had once set his sights on.
Thinking back to their first encounter, Hiss felt a tinge of emotion even now.
Hiss was initially attracted by Liya’s Tier Four strength, her masterful use of Rune Skills, and her concept for ’Rune Armor,’ which led him to provide her with the best environment to support her research.
However, besides handing over a batch of Tier Four Skill scrolls every month as a resource exchange, Liya’s progress on the Rune Armor research had been extremely slow.
Eventually, Hiss no longer held any expectations for the so-called Rune Armor.
After all, it seemed ridiculous to think of creating highly durable power armor, which was portable too, using only runes and some basic armor construction materials without needing numerous armor components.
Does such a thing even exist in this world?
And after the death of his wife, Hiss realized that apart from her Rune Skill techniques, Liya had another excellent quality. When she first came to Winter City, she was around twenty, and over the years, while her appearance had not changed, her temperament had become increasingly mature, like a juicy peach exuding nectar, attracting the gaze of men everywhere.
Despite being a mother, her graceful figure and beautiful face did not reveal any signs of childbirth.
He realized he had fallen in love with Liya.
Yet Liya rejected his advances, citing her child as the reason.
Hiss didn’t mind, even though he knew the child was a Variant. He asked Liya to bring her daughters into the Mansion of the City Lord for him to raise, but she refused him again, arguing that her daughter would not like the discriminating atmosphere of the city.
So, Hiss began to desperately seek out renowned painters to create portraits of Liya, hoping to move her.
However, all he received in return were Liya’s cold refusals, time and time again.
Hiss had to admit that by the end, his psyche had become somewhat unhealthy, even entertaining the idea of using the Divine Tree Power to force himself on her.
But one night, a mysterious figure approached him and from that night onwards, he had a new goal.
The path to Tier Five!
As the Lord of Snowstorm, the City Owner of Winter City, the journey of Winter had reached its end for him; the possibility of ascending to Tier Five was essentially cut off, although he was the true Tier Five as long as he was in Winter City.
But what was the use of that?
The power bestowed by the Divine Tree was ultimately external, an illusion.
Only when all strength converges within oneself, is true power attained.
Even if that path leads to disaster.
—Snowice Disaster.
That was the omen bestowed upon him by the mysterious person, the path to Tier Five.
Snow Disaster Mioslite, an Origin Disaster that signifies ’walking disasters,’ ’messenger of Origin Disaster.’
Due to perfect compatibility, Hiss found that switching from the ’path of Winter’ to this Tier Five Origin Disaster path was effortless.
The price to pay was the entire Winter City and the title of the Divine Tree’s guardian, becoming the messenger of Origin Disaster from now on, wandering the great path, bringing endless disaster to the world.
