Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!

Chapter 375: Chapter 230 Sorry Tiya, I lied to you again
 

Hero?

When Xiya realized the significance of this matter, he stood frozen in place, unable to move.

This has been a sacred proverb in the Saint Laurent Empire since ancient times, and also a revelation passed down from many years ago.

One day, when the prolonged war between humans and demons reaches its climax, a man chosen by the Holy Tree will shoulder the glory and weight of human civilization, using overwhelming military power to break the darkness and completely end this war that has lasted for tens of thousands of years.

The prophecy is vividly described, awakening the blood in the heart of every young man within the Saint Laurent Empire.

Even Xiya, who came from the frontier, believed in it wholeheartedly.

Although he had always exhibited abilities beyond ordinary people since childhood, and rapidly climbed the ranks after entering the Military Department, even so, he had never imagined that one day he would become the existence foretold in the sacred proverb.

Gazing at the towering Golden Holy Tree, feeling the surrounding sacred aura, Xiya’s heartbeat quickened.

At this moment, he paid no attention to where the bone-chilling cold he had felt earlier had come from, and even momentarily put aside the hatred between him and Lynn.

No man doesn’t fantasize about being crowned in front of the entire country’s nobles and citizens, receiving endless praise.

Especially now that such an honor had unprecedentedly fallen upon him.

Xiya took a deep breath and slowly approached beneath the branches of the Holy Spirit Tree.

Ordinarily, this area would be accessible only to members of the Royal Family who possessed the Holy Roland Blood.

Yet now, having received recognition from the Holy Spirit Tree, he had unprecedentedly broken this restriction and appeared here, avoiding everyone’s notice.

At the same time, the grand yet distant voice from the depths of his heart, as if sensing Xiya’s hesitation, urged him again.

“Place your palm on the trunk… feel the pulse of the Holy Spirit Power… with this… communicate with the Golden Holy Tree… activate… the credential of the ‘Savior Brave’…”

That voice was incredibly cold, yet carried a tone eerily familiar to him.

As if… the speaker was someone he once knew.

And not just anyone, but someone extremely familiar.

Additionally, the voice seemed somewhat intermittent, as if facing some strong obstruction while transmitting to his mind.

Where was this voice coming from?

Over the past many days, this voice had guided him, allowing him to avoid various dangers and seemingly hopeless situations repeatedly.

For this, he was filled with gratitude.

Yet at this very moment, a ridiculous sense of his destiny being manipulated faintly surfaced in his mind.

Thinking about it, whenever he was about to make major decisions that could affect his whole life, this voice would emerge.

Xiya couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

“Who… are you?”

Though he had questioned his own heart countless times in the past, he never received an answer from the voice.

However, with the situation having progressed this far, he didn’t want to just mindlessly activate the Golden Vision of the Holy Spirit Tree but decided to clear up everything.

For this reason, Xiya unprecedentedly decided to defy the guidance of the deep voice in his heart.

He clenched his teeth, suppressing the desire in his heart to become the Hero, clenched his fists tightly, and took two steps back to demonstrate his stance and determination.

Little did he know that these two steps back would completely change the course of the destined future.

The next second, the cold voice that should have repeated its guidance like countless times before suddenly stopped.

With this pause, Xiya distinctly sensed an emotion called “hesitation.”

As if the owner of the voice was engaged in a fierce inner struggle.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Just when Xiya, who had been waiting for a long time, thought that the other party would no longer respond to him, that voice spoke again.

This time, the voice, originally cold and distant, took on a more humanized tone.

Simultaneously, after hearing the content of the utterance, Xiya’s pupils trembled slightly, and he stood rooted to the spot as if struck by lightning.

For the voice said,

“I am you, ten thousand years from now.”

…

“Your Highness, aren’t you going to take shelter?”

Next to Hillena, the voice of anxious noblewomen sounded,

At this moment, the entire Moonlight Ceremony Hall was in chaos, terrified by the strong impact and shaking that seemed to come from the deepest part of the ground, and with the escort of attendants and guards, they quickly left the place.

Lady Belmont, who had been sitting next to the Great Imperial Princess, also stood up with a pale face, holding her daughter, and sincerely but anxiously suggested to her.

Hearing this, Hillena’s slightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, but she did not heed the advice and simply shook her head gently.

“You go take shelter first, I’ll follow shortly.”

As a High Rank Transcendent, and also possessing an extremely powerful Class 0 Sealed Object, how could such a being be injured in an earthquake?

What she cared more about now was the ominous omen on the surface of the moon, and this strong impact of unknown origin.

Looking at the faraway empty seats, Hillena then realized, her youngest sister Ivyst had suddenly disappeared somewhere.
