"Ah? Did my father ever fight against them?" Yi curiously asked, "He never ntioned it."
Zero said, "That year, after Ren Xiaosu beca a God, he crossed the strait on a small boat. He challenged Genji, and even Genji’s Hyakki Night Trip couldn’t stop him. All the Shikigami turned into streams of light and returned to Genji’s Divine Destiny Bridge, trembling and too afraid to fight."
Zero continued, "That year, Ren Xiaosu freeloaded in Genji’s mansion, commanding all the Shikigami to serve him. He used Fire Fox to dry his feet after washing, made Red Leaf Hunter perform splits, had Hundred-Eyed Demon jump rope, let Great Tengu use its wings to fan him cool, used Soldier Departnt’s halberd as skewers for BBQ, and had Mirage Tower use illusions as a screen to play movies... He only left after he was full, leaving Genji half dead with anger. But this doesn’t an Genji was weak. On the contrary, being soone Ren Xiaosu personally chose to confront shows their significance."
Qing Chen suddenly realized that when Zero talked about Ren Xiaosu, her attitude noticeably changed, even her speech had a warmth to it.
But this God Ren Xiaosu seed sowhat unorthodox.
"But they were still dood by the Jindai family."
"I once saw Genji and watched through a satellite the battle where Genji was ambushed and killed. The most fatal reason was the sudden betrayal of Yamata no Orochi. Genji had to spare a hand to suppress it again to prevent calamity on earth; otherwise, the Jindai couldn’t have killed them," Zero laughed and said, "Genji was indeed formidable, so much so that even the Roosevelt Royalty would send 12 Drama Masters when they saw the God’s perspective involving her. I guess they would use their treasured taboo."
"What taboo?" Qing Chen frowned.
"A taboo that requires sacrificing one each year to satisfy the containnt condition. Back then, they asked the four Dukes to offer taboos annually because of this," Zero said, "The Eastern Continent Federation’s taboos are scattered, and even half are missing among civilians, but the West Continent is different. Their taboos are almost entirely in the hands of the Roosevelt Royalty. Don’t underestimate the power of taboos; they represent the world’s will, they’re nearly absolute rules."
"Why nearly?" Qing Chen asked.
"Because now, there’s soone not affected by the world’s will," Zero smiled and said, "If you can recover your mory, then everything is negotiable, but if not, then many people will die in vain."

...
The Qing Shan Ship was already in a wrecked state; 80% of the Aerial Fortress’s protective armor was damaged, and only 13 rounds of the 72 Main Firepower Gun were still sliding in the track, constantly aiming at the distant airship.
Fortunately, the West Continent Aerial Fortress’s long-distance thod of penetrating the Qing Shan Ship couldn’t be frequently used; otherwise, it would cause the reactor to overheat.
Otherwise, even with Heaven Ship’s support, it wouldn’t help.
Li Changqing said inside the airship, "We can’t hold out much longer. Once they accumulate energy for the second shot to pierce the Heaven Ship, this battle will be untenable."
The reason Li Changqing and the others could hang on was rely that Qing Shan Ship and Heaven Ship could provide cover for their airships.
Once Qing Shan Ship and Heaven Ship were completely destroyed, their airships, without the protection of the Aerial Fortress, would eventually be annihilated.
At this mont, Li Changqing seriously looked at the Holographic Sand Table, Lao Wan said, "Boss, now that Heaven Ship has opened a gap to the south, you should leave."
"No," Li Changqing calmly judged and said, "If we are bait, we must fulfill the duties of being bait. Xiao Tongyun was right; if Zero’s backup is ant to appear on this battlefield, then the best thing we can do is to drag everyone into the Drama Master’s God’s perspective, and hold them until the God’s perspective ends. 20 minutes is the purpose for which we exist, to help Zero drag for those 20 minutes."
Lao Wan said, "Qing Shan Ship and Heaven Ship have released hundreds of airships; having you or not isn’t crucial."
Li Changqing ignored him and said to herself, "We can’t give the opposing Aerial Fortress more ti to gather energy. Even if it’s sacrificing pawns to protect the king, the sacrifice should be us, preserving the intact Heaven Ship rather than sacrificing Heaven Ship to preserve us."
Saying that, she opened the full communication channel, "Li’s airship, I’m requesting you to focus all your efforts on destroying the opposing Aerial Fortress’s Main Firepower Gun. Stop engaging with their airships; focus your attack on the Aerial Fortress!"
In the next second, Li’s airships simultaneously turned around, relentlessly charging towards Phoenix, heedless of the obstructions above the sky.
At this mont, the interior of the Qing Shan Ship wasn’t empty. Zero’s holographic projection stood in the command room, watching the vast fleet launch a charge with great interest.
She certainly knew what Li Changqing wanted to do and praised in the empty, damaged command room, "Why do selfish humans always manifest strength in the most desperate tis?"
During the chanical crisis, she once used nanorobots to control hundreds of thousands of people, reading human thoughts.
Therefore, she knew how selfish, suspicious, and cowardly humans were.
The reason Zero was created was because her ’father’ Wang Shengzhi hoped to use artificial intelligence to replace human judicial processes, achieving absolute justice.
