Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ciel realized that the wine he had just drunk had changed, and at the same time, everything about Reiner's Dream City suddenly became familiar to him.

Slowly, in his senses, it seemed as if the entire dream city had become one with him.

"What are you doing?" Charles was a little confused.

In his mind, Reiner has always been an honest and useful tool, so he felt a little surprised that he suddenly did this to himself.

At the same time, he was even more puzzled. If Reiner was targeting him, he shouldn't have taken action at this time.

After all, I am just a clone, there is no reason for me to attack him!

"The harder I try, the more I realize that simply relying on the City of Dreams or myself alone is not enough to change the world."

"The ritual has already begun. I might be able to defeat two or three demigods, and with you there, I might be able to win against three or five more as well."

"But what about larger quantities?"

"Perhaps under their pursuit and blockade, not only me, but also the ceremony will be affected."

"So...I'll leave everything up to you."

Reiner's figure began to become illusory, and the sound of steam whistles resounded in this world.

At the same time, outside the City of Dreams, countless steam began to emerge in the sky. These steams kept rolling and changing, and at the same time merged with the exhaust gas discharged by the factory.

These gases and steam merged into one and slowly transformed into magical energy.

"Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean? I'm just a clone, I'm only here to help in the fight!"

"Why do you sound like you're making arrangements for your funeral?"

Charles was anxious.

As an avatar, although he has a different personality from Ciel, his essence is the same.

Therefore, like the original body, he hopes that Reiner's dream city and his experiments will be successful.

At the same time, because Reiner is an honest man and a useful tool, Ciel also hopes that he can survive and work hard to become a better tool.

Now, why did his words suddenly make Charles feel so wrong?

"You once said that facing the cold reality, perhaps only passion can awaken the fire in some people's hearts."

"I'm not a good leader, and you've also told me that softness is not the way to achieve change."

“But some things just can’t be done.”

"So, I thought maybe at this time, at this juncture, after fighting hard and using all my strength to cultivate the only fruit of my life, I could still do something else."

“I will use the rest of my life to leave some seeds, just like my teacher did.”

"Rocks, can you help me take care of these seeds?" Reiner's figure became more and more illusory, and at the same time, the connection between Charles' clone and the City of Dreams became closer.

Ciel tried to struggle free and find Reiner outside to beat him up, but failed.

"I have no interest in being a babysitter!" Charles exclaimed.

"This is my lifelong request." Reiner lowered his head and slowly bent down, as if he wanted to kneel down.

"Stop! I promise you!" Charles quickly stopped him.

A smile appeared on Reiner's face, and then he said, "If possible... I hope that no matter what happens here next, you will show mercy."

"Don't push yourself too far."

"You are the only person I can trust." Reiner said somewhat emotionally.

Charles was silent for a long time, and finally nodded with a sad expression.

"Come back alive, you owe me a drink."

Reiner looked at Ciel with a smile, then completely disappeared in front of him.

After he disappeared, Charles, who had been holding a stern face, suddenly gave up struggling.

"I hope you won't be beaten to death by the main body later..."

Then he felt himself merging more and more thoroughly with the City of Dreams, and the corners of Charles' mouth twitched.

"I used to scheme against others, but this time I was schemed against by others."

If it were someone else it would be fine.

But Reiner plotted against me...

This is too embarrassing!

Charles's face turned a little unhappy when he thought about how he had carelessly drunk his wine.

The revolving lantern is over.

Looking at Reiner with his eyes closed, Ciel didn't show any mercy and swung the stick in his hand and hit him hard in the face.

After hitting him more than ten times in a row, and making sure that even Reiner's master would not recognize him, Charles put down the stick in his hand with satisfaction.

At the same time, several demigods who were beating Reiner were about to say something, but suddenly found that their bodies were melting.

At the same time, let alone speaking, they couldn't even move at this moment.

Strictly speaking, their deaths were somewhat unjust.

Although most of them are not good people.

However, according to the standards that Charles had set in the church before, there were still one or two of them who were on the verge of being killed or not.

But who made them want to kill Reiner this time?

You have to know that in this world, apart from Mernadé and the others, Reiner's position in Ciel's heart is extremely important.

This importance is not only due to the friendship between the two people caused by his kindness, but also because he created the Dream City from scratch and created such an unprecedented ceremony.

If he could live longer, with his abilities, he might create more things like the Dream City that can change the world.

For better or for worse.

But no matter from which perspective, Reiner, this useful tool, is a treasure of the world in Ciel's heart.

Anyone who wants to destroy this treasure is simply hindering the future of this world!

Charles casually collected the extraordinary characteristics of several people and prepared to use them as materials for the next ritual to make his own omniscient heart.

Reiner was a little confused.

After all, when that stick came down just now, he felt that he was doomed.

Even the revolving lantern appeared at that time.

but...

After being hit in the face a dozen times and feeling the pain for a while, it seemed that nothing was being done to him anymore.

He hesitated for a moment, then silently activated his armor, and the injuries on his face quickly healed.

Facing Reiner like this, Ciel silently turned around and raised the stick in his hand again.

Only this time Reiner opened his eyes.

Seeing Ciel with a dark face picking up a stick and hitting him in the face, Reiner quickly raised his hands to block it.

"Rocks, what are you doing!" he shouted in horror, and at the same time he found that his resistance was completely useless. Charles' stick went straight through his arm and hit him in the face.

hiss....

Before he discovered that the "enemy" was Ciel, Reiner, who was convinced that he would die, did not feel how painful those dozens of hits were.

There is even a feeling of exhilaration and heroism.

But after seeing that the person who attacked him was Ciel, Reiner felt a burning pain on his face.

Not just physically, but psychologically as well.

"Help you irrigate hope with blood." Charles gave a sinister smile.

"Um..." Reiner opened his mouth to explain something.

But Charles didn't give him the chance and started knocking on the door again.

"Ceremony! I still have to preside over the ceremony!" Reiner said, trying to save himself.

"Haha... Don't worry, I'll only hit your face and it won't affect your hosting of the ceremony."

In fact, it is very difficult even for Ciel to stop it now.

When the ceremony began, the area covered by the ceremony was no longer limited to the area near the Truth Association, but the entire planet.

In Reiner's own setting, let alone being beaten, even the magic energy and some other energies generated by both sides in the battle will be converted into the energy required for the ritual.

Therefore, his ceremony does not need to be presided over by him, and he does not even need to be alive.

"Yes! One of the steps in my ritual is to transform the magic energy in the astral plane."

"It is rumored that there are many mysterious beings in the star realm who don't like ugly people. If I scare them, it will affect the success rate of the ceremony!" Reiner, with a bruised face, said seriously.

"Do you think your superficial knowledge of the astral realm can deceive me?"

Ciel put away his stick and then took out a mace.

Looking at the terrified Reiner, he gave a gentle smile.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt. I'll let you go once I'm done with my anger."

The screams rang out rhythmically.

-

Chapter 265 Chapter 145 Success!

At this moment, Reiner had an urge to carve the word "miserable" on his chest and arms.

Facing Charles' mace, he activated the Armor of Life to instantly recover from his injuries.

But once his injury recovers, Charles will play even harder.

If you don't restore...

Not only was he covered in blood, but Charles also struck a rhythm.

He was even humming some little tunes.

This double torture, both physically and psychologically, made Reiner, who originally thought he could hold on for a while, beg for mercy soon.

"I was wrong." He said loudly.

"You're right! What's wrong with you?!" Charles shouted happily while waving the mace in his hand.

Um...

When he first beat Reiner, he did harbor some resentment.

But after beating him for so long, the resentment had long since disappeared.

The reason why he didn't stop was because Ciel found that... beating people up was quite fun.

Especially when paired with Reiner's expression of wanting to scream but gritting his teeth as if not, and the occasional shame he reveals for some psychological reasons...

It made Charles unable to stop.

If there were other people around who saw the two of them at this moment, they would probably think they were seeing a pervert.

"I was wrong for treating your clone like that, wrong for not trusting you, and wrong for making the decision alone..." Reiner said with his head lowered.

You must admit defeat when it is time to do so, especially when you are not in the right.

This was a truth he learned when he was young. Relying on this unique skill, he avoided many beatings from his teacher.

However, thinking about his past performance, his teacher might feel a little regretful about this matter.

"Hmph! I'm glad you know it." Looking at Reiner who looked pitiful and showed that he knew he was wrong, Ciel snorted coldly and then put away the mace.

"Um...what's going on in the Dream City?" During the battle, the enemies' words could not shake his mind.

But after the battle, thinking about what the enemies had said before, Reiner became a little worried about his companions in the Dream City.

"You are really tolerant enough." Charles couldn't help but sneer again.

It would be fine if he was soft-hearted, but he was such a pushover that sometimes Charles really didn't want to say anything more to him.
