Absolute Choice

Chapter 436: Lucifer’s Sword



Chapter 436: Lucifer’s Sword

Shi Xiaobai, who was looking up into the sky, slowly lowered his head and cast his gaze at the blond youth as the fiery voice said ‘Absolute Choice completed’ in his mind. He had chosen the fourth choice and chosen what he had analyzed as a ‘crazy path’. Now that the choice was completed, he no longer had a chance to make another choice.

This was a path of no return he needed to continue down.

A smile suffused across Shi Xiaobai’s lips. He would not regret over a mistaken choice because the mistake was never the choice, but the person who made the choice.

Furthermore, this was the most correct fifth path that he had racked his brains for.

Shi Xiaobai said seriously, “Goal? No, This King is being serious. It comes from the heart.”

“Lies.”

The blond youth said in a deadpan manner, “You are an existence made out of nothing. You would not have any subjective feelings. Your emotions and psyche have been algorithmized. Everything about you is controlled by your parameter settings. For you to suddenly say such an irksome statement must have been due to the intentions of your creator. So, I’m not asking you, but the program that designed you. What is its goal? Why is it trying to infuriate me? Or is this just a meaningless joke?”

Shi Xiaobai was slightly taken aback. He was quite surprised at the blond youth’s false account of the true facts. From the looks of it, this creation of the assessment program which was designed to be a counterfeit of the Hero King believed that they were the virtual existences that were created.

Indeed, to something fake, reality was the thing that was truly fake.

Shi Xiaobai’s smile became more intense as he was more certain that he had made the correct choice. His eyes revealed deep feelings as he gently said, “Even an existence created by a program will generate subjectivity and become an existence that exceeds a program. Dawn Li, This King is fake, but This King is also real. That’s because although This King’s body is the amalgamation of a program, but his consciousness comes from another world—a world you are familiar with. In that world, This King has always been watching you. It’s not for ten years, but for ten lifetimes. After ten rounds of reincarnation, This King has chosen to be an astral consciousness to accompany you by your side, so as to never be away from you. It’s just that you were unable to detect This King’s gaze. To you, This King is a stranger you met for the first time, but to This King, you are his only faith for ten lifetimes. Even if This King is designated as the Infernal King in this world, and This King has a partner called the Infernal Queen from the very beginning, This King has only loved you alone from the beginning to the end. This King’s love can transcend everything, be it age, sex, or even space-time transmigration. It can even transcend reality and virtuality. Although This King is unable to resist the setting of the program and is unable to immediately end the farce marriage, This King will only call the Infernal Queen his girlfriend and not his wife, because This King’s right hand is only open to you. The deepest recesses of This King’s heart is only reserved for you. You are the only wife for This King! Dawn Li, all you need to do is take that tiny step forward. This King will give everything he has. Are you willing? Are you willing to become This King’s beloved side hoe that will be able to receive everything?”

With that said, the thirty-thousand-strong audience nearly forgot to breathe.

They could not understand what the Infernal King was saying.

What program? What another world?

They did not understand it at all, but they could feel the emotions that filled those words.

A never waning love that lasted for ten lifetimes?

To become a beloved side hoe that will be able to receive everything?

Hey, can a term like side hoe be described in such a beautiful manner?

The rookies that came from the human world could tell that Shi Xiaobai was speaking nonsense in a serious manner when they heard him say ‘This King is fake’. However, when they finished hearing what was obviously a lie, they felt moved for some reason. They even had an illusion of ‘could all of this be true’.

That was because the confession was too gentle, emotional and touching.

However, the machine-like blond youth remained unmoved. He focused his faze on Shi Xiaobai for a few seconds in a deadpan manner. He said emotionlessly, “A perfect lie. You are a very logical cheat with an extremely high emotional quotient. But you may be able to fool the thirty thousand people here, but you cannot fool me. I’m just curious of your goal for doing this. What is the goal of the program to make you do this? I’ll give you a last chance to consider it. Be honest or die immediately.”

Shi Xiaobai sighed and said, “This King knows you would not easily believe it. However, This King has evidence to prove that This King is not a program that is controlled. This King’s love is not a fake lie. This King’s eyes have always been on you.”

“Evidence?”

The blond youth’s eyes were cold as he said, “Then, I’ll give you a chance to prove yourself. If you are able to perfect this lie that is filled with holes, to the point of making me believe in it, then I will choose to believe it, even if it is a lie.”

“A lie?”

A gentle smile suffused across Shi Xiaobai’s lips as he gently said, “Dawn Li, you are not a machine. You have your emotions, but they are sealed within your ice-cold exterior. It is just something you do not want others to see, but This King knows. This King knows the feelings within your heart.”

“For example, the ideal woman in your mind wears a long dark-blue dress and silver armor. She would use a dark blue hair band to coil her blond hair up. Her bangs will split in the middle as they roll down the two sides of her white face. Her eyes will be filled with a sense of righteousness, and she would brandish her sword to kill her enemies. She will be cool, but pretty.”

“You like such a woman. Do you think that a program will know about this? Do you think anyone else other than you will know? As a fleeting and trivial consciousness, This King has always been accompanying you so This King is the existence that understands you the best.”

The blond youth’s pupils constricted slightly when he heard this. His eyes finally turned soft as he said coldly, “Although your words are filled with holes, but the woman you described does indeed perfectly match my ‘taste’. However, that is something no one should be able to know of.”

“How did you know that? Psychological imagery used in Psychology is useless against me. I have never revealed any flaws. How did the program behind you manage to do it? How did it…manage to know what’s in my heart!”

Speechless had announced every sword move he used and narrated his life experiences. Although they were the truth, that was information that many people could easily find out. It was all information recorded in the annals of history. It was not impossible for the assessment program to know of that.

But the deepest thoughts in one’s heart such as the ideal woman was something no one else could know except himself.

Therefore, the blond youth that had always been calm, could no longer maintain his absolute composure. That was because he could not figure out how Shi Xiaobai had managed to do it.

Shi Xiaobai said with a chuckle, “In this life, This King has been watching you for more than a decade. If This King doesn’t know the feelings you have sealed inside you, then what meaning does This King have to his existence? Of course, you may think that it is a lie or a deceitful trick, but Dawn, This King’s evidence is not limited to this.”

“The nonexistent sword in your hand actually exists. However, others are unable to discern its existence. If they do not know its true form, there’s no way for them to see it. It is such an existence. But This King has always been accompanying you by your side. Therefore, This King is one of the few people that can see it. This King even knows the name you chose for it. You call the sword—Lucifer’s Sword!”
