Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Wuzhan Away at the Beginning Chapter 132

「Seeing Xing, a Mara-Struck soldier stood in front of Dan Shu: “Leader, please step back, I’ll handle this guy.”」

「…Leader? Xing was a little surprised. She thought Dan Shu was a member of the Alchemy Commission, but she didn’t expect her to be the boss.」

「“It’s alright, she’s my friend.” Dan Shu ordered the Mara-Struck soldier beside her to step down, she turned to Xing’s direction, and sighed: “I didn’t expect you to come looking for me.”」

「“You lied to me.” Xing stared at her coldly.」

「“I’m sorry… I lied to you about many things, but I only apologize for deceiving you into taking that medicine. As for the other lies, it was just to communicate with you on an equal footing.” Dan Shu asked calmly, “Did you take the 【Cloud-grazing Dew Pill】 I gave you?”」

「Xing didn’t want to hide it: “I took it.”」

「“Did you experience the transformation?” Dan Shu’s tone seemed to become faintly excited, she raised her head, and looked towards the sky with those turbid, colorless eyes: “How many medicine seekers have arrived at the Xianzhou, eager to seek the elixir of immortality, but returned empty-handed.”」

「“But they guessed right, the Xianzhou does retain the secret of transforming into a long-life species. I admire you, and I want to leave this opportunity to you.”」

「“Take the 【Cloud-grazing Dew Pill】, and you will be able to personally experience the infinite freedom that Yaoshi the Benevolent brings to the flesh.”」

「But Dan Shu suddenly seemed to notice something, and frowned slightly: “Wait… you don’t seem to have any abnormalities? Your breathing hasn’t become longer, and your aura doesn’t seem to have undergone any changes?”」

Naples, Italy.

“Hahahaha, I guess Dan Shu never expected Xing’s physique to be different from ordinary people, right? With the Stellar Nucleus inside, Xing’s body is fully loaded.” Even outside the villa, the organization’s bodyguards could hear Guido Mista’s hearty laughter.

“However, failing to achieve immortality due to physical reasons can’t be considered a great gain.”

Trish pursed her lips. The thought of girls like Fu Xuan and Qingque on the Xianzhou still maintaining their youthful beauty after hundreds of years was hard not to envy. Especially for a celebrity like her, a Cloud-grazing Dew Pill was more effective than all skin care products combined.

Moreover, although Xing’s behavior was a bit unconventional, her appearance was impeccable, a definite beauty. If one day she watched her own face age, even she would be sad, right?

“Regardless of whether this pill is good or bad, we need to be more cautious.” Fugo put down the teaspoon in his hand and slowly said:

“If an ordinary outsider takes the pill, they will most likely turn into a Mara-Struck. In the eyes of the Alchemy Commission, the Mara-Struck are the most complete form that the Physician bestows upon them.”

“Dan Shu regards Xing as a friend—this feeling exists, but not much. Maybe she wants to pull Xing into this pirate ship through the transformation of immortality? The Alchemy Commission has been hiding on the Xianzhou for thousands of years, and the current chaotic situation on the Xianzhou is the most suitable time for them to take action. As long as they take care of Xing, they might be able to divide the strength of the Xianzhou Stratagems Commission.”

Fugo’s calm voice made Mista narrow his eyes slightly.

“You’re quite the talker… Fugo.”

“Isn’t that the reason you asked me to come?”

“Hehe, yeah.” Giorno smiled slightly. It was indeed an important reason, but not the only one.

Fugo’s ability was too dangerous—any creature infected by the 【Killer Virus】 sprayed by “Purple Haze” would gradually rot, dissolve, and eventually die. The key was that this virus was indefensible, and there were no means to control the infection.

As the boss of the organization, Giorno couldn’t let such a dangerous Stand get out of his sight, so he tried to get Fugo back by his side.

“Before the light screen disappears, Fugo, you will ‘temporarily’ advise us.”

——

「“Why? Is your physique different from ordinary people?” Dan Shu asked in surprise.」

「“I have a Stellar Nucleus residing within me.”」

「“A Stellar Nucleus? That’s impossible.” Dan Shu frowned, but she quickly calmed down and shook her head: “Even if that’s true, it’s probably ominous to have a Stellar Nucleus residing in a short-lived body. It seems you are destined to have no connection with immortality.”」

「“Xing, I implore you to leave the Luofu… leave this conflict. Things are not as you see them.”」

「“How did the Stratagems Commission’s hounds describe this civil war to you? The Divine Bow Ebon Decree, representing the righteous gods, hunts the evil god of pestilence Yaoshi in the universe, and the Alchemy Commission are the evil god’s claws?”」

「“Is that really the case? You don’t understand Yaoshi the Benevolent, you don’t understand the evil bow of pestilence, but you understand me. In your eyes, am I such a person?”」

「“I don’t ask you to take sides… I just hope you can stay away from the Luofu, away from all of this. All of this has nothing to do with you, and I don’t want to be your enemy.”」

Emiya Residence—

“Saber, I also feel that this Miss Dan Shu has some unspeakable secrets…” Watching Dan Shu’s sincere expression, Shirou Emiya suddenly felt that the fried shrimp in his bowl was not fragrant anymore.

Looking at the situation, a battle between Xing and Dan Shu was inevitable.

“Emiya, don’t be fooled by this woman’s sweet talk.”

Cú Chulainn, who was savoring delicious grilled fish and beer, squeezed out a rare trace of seriousness from his enjoying face: “Have you forgotten? Every pill of the Alchemy Commission contains the marrow of Vidyadhara people. Everyone can talk about great principles, but the fact of trampling on the lives of other races cannot be covered up by sweet talk.”

“Moreover, when this woman spoke, she mentioned that Xing didn’t understand the Aeon of Abundance, and wanted to use this to shut her up. But the problem is… have the Alchemy Commission themselves understood the Aeon of Abundance?”

Saber also cast a questioning look at Cú Chulainn: “Lancer, what do you mean by that?”

Cú Chulainn smiled slightly, put down the chopsticks in his hand: “Understanding the 【true Aeon】 and understanding the 【Aeon in their imagination】 are completely different concepts. In the end, Yaoshi has never responded positively to the Alchemy Commission. The pitiful believers have always believed in the Aeon in their fantasies. Kindness, goodness… these are all annotations added by humans.”

“They call Yaoshi the 【Benevolent Physician】, as if the god possesses infinitely noble virtues. But if the gods are really as benevolent as they say, why have they turned a blind eye to the suffering of the Xianzhou people for thousands of years?”

“On the other hand, the Aeon of The Hunt, at least, is a god who can respond to believers and is willing to share power with the humans who follow Him—based on this alone, it is unknown how much stronger He is than the Physician of Abundance.”

Saber nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

“Indeed, although Yaoshi bestowed immortality upon the Xianzhou, there are not many records about His true self… instead, His followers are all satisfying their own selfish desires in the name of the gods.”
