Melusine's strange sexual preferences almost made Percival release the Holy Lance. You couldn't blame him; no one could accept their dearest elder sister becoming someone else's mistress.
After Jiang You's strenuous explanations, he finally managed to avoid an unnecessary conflict. However, it was impossible for Percival, who regarded Melusine as his mother, to have no objections to him. It seemed that getting along with this younger brother-in-law in the future would not be very smooth, but they wouldn't meet often, so it wasn't a major issue.
"Back to the main topic, we came here to find you." Jiang You looked at the youth who appeared to have been an adult for a long time, his hair streaked with white. He was not the Child of Prophecy in the truest sense, but there was no significant difference. In the end, after facing the Calamity-transformed Melusine, he also paid with his life to save the world; otherwise, the pressure on Chaldea would have been too great, and they might have even failed. "You want to fight for the rights humans deserve, but I want to say it's no longer necessary."
"Are you here to be a persuader?" Percival glanced at Melusine. As his sister, Melusine's relationship indeed played a major role, but he had already made up his mind to resist Morgan's tyranny. "Then please leave. For Melusine's sake, I won't make things difficult for you..."
"What I mean is, from now on, Fairies no longer need humans to sustain their existence." Jiang You pointed in the direction of the World Tree. "The World Tree will replace humans as the Fairies' sustenance. Morgan has already agreed to let me take all of you away. From now on, Britain will be a kingdom belonging only to Fairies."
"Are you serious?" If it were only Jiang You's word, Percival naturally wouldn't believe it. But his sister, who was standing beside him, kept nodding in agreement, which made him believe it a little. He knew Melusine's personality; she wasn't someone who liked to lie. "But if Fairies could break away from humans, there would have been no need to go to such great lengths to establish the system here over a thousand years. If the World Tree could really work, Morgan definitely wouldn't have just planted it now. I trust Melusine, but I don't trust Morgan."
Jiang You understood Percival's meaning; he was worried this was a trap set for the Resistance. They simply didn't understand what concept Morgan truly represented to this Lostbelt. Before Chaldea appeared, if Morgan really wanted to get rid of them, they would never have been able to survive until now. "Don't worry, because I am the one who provided the World Tree. I can guarantee its authenticity."
Judging by Percival and Gareth's expressions, Jiang You knew they didn't believe him at all. It made sense; he had no reputation in this Lostbelt, and it was difficult to make an organization that lived by the sword trust him on the spot. "How about this, let's change the way we negotiate. How about using force?"
He would simply use absolute strength to show them he had no need to lie.
"How about I do it?" Melusine volunteered and stepped forward. She was confident that even the entire Round Table Army combined would be no match for her.
"You are underestimating your younger brother too much. If he really intends to fight desperately, you might lose, you know?" Even if Melusine had likely held back then, Percival would have had no chance of winning without the necessary strength. "Besides, if you win, they still won't be convinced, because... the gap isn't big enough! It hasn't reached the point where they lack the ability to resist at all!"
Jiang You instantly released his aura, something he had simulated from Goetia. As a complete Beast, his presence gave off a feeling of being invincible. Jiang You amplified this effect, making Percival and Gareth feel a heaviness in their chests, making even breathing difficult.
"What are you waiting for? Let's begin." Jiang You yielded the initiative, no longer caring who his opponent was. As for a duel, he had lost interest in it. The cards in his hand were no different from simply crushing an ordinary enemy.
Percival tried to reach for the Holy Lance beside him, but every step felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds. Even moving was extremely difficult, let alone fighting. He never expected the man beside his sister to be so terrifying; even his sister couldn't achieve such a level. Then again, given his sister's personality, anyone weaker than her, except for the Clan Leader of the Wind Clan, wouldn't even be able to enter her line of sight.
The thought flashed by in an instant. Just as Percival was about to seize his weapon, Jiang You had already grasped the Holy Lance in his hand.
Then, Percival watched in horror as the Holy Lance, which was nearly indestructible, was snapped into two pieces in Jiang You's hand like a piece of crisp ice candy. The sound was even quite sharp.
"...!"
"...???"
"So, do you still want to fight?" Jiang You was quite satisfied with this effect, similar to "Dragon's Majesty." The numerical values he could currently control had no rivals on this planet. However, if a real fight were to break out, the lack of relevant combat experience would make it quite unappealing to watch, even a bit cheap. After all, without a conceptual framework, his imagination was limited, so Jiang You would only display his power without actually taking action.
Before Percival, who had lost his weapon, could even respond, Gareth charged at Jiang You with his lance. No, rather than charging, it was more like slowly inching forward, moving at an infuriatingly slow pace.
Jiang You smiled and pressed the two of them back into their seats. "If I had any hostile intent, you wouldn't have had a chance to resist at all."
Melusine seemed to notice her younger brother's disappointment. He had sacrificed a lot to draw the Holy Lance, both his normal body and his health. Melusine stepped forward and patted his head, "Don't be sad. Even I am no match for him."
Percival felt a little better. Since his sister, the acknowledged strongest Dragon Fairy, said so, he had no objections. If only she hadn't added that last sentence.
"Whether in battle or in bed, I'm no match for him."
"Are you trying to start a fight between me and him?" Jiang You tapped the tactless Melusine hard, forcing her to shut up. She really didn't understand human values at all.
"So, you actually have no choice in the matter. But rest assured, if I had any ill intentions, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths." This excuse was indeed useful, and it was also the truth.
"But where do you plan to take us?" Percival watched blankly as Jiang You stuck the Holy Lance back together. Was repairing this thing really so simple? "If we can't overthrow Morgan, there is no safe place for us humans."
"True, after all, you were born here. It's normal for you not to know." This Singularity was only about the size of Great Britain, but for Percival and most of the Fairies, this was the entire world. "Of course, I'm taking you to a place where humans live. I'll take you there in a moment. Also... is your manager here? He is the key."
