Chapter 171 The Dowry for Marrying Tifa

Most of the day later.

The second floor, a dilapidated balcony.

Sephiroth lit a cigarette and blew a smoke ring.

Behind him, Tifa was fast asleep.

Perhaps she was exhausted both physically and mentally from this ordeal, so she fell asleep.

"The energy on this planet is truly amazing."

Ever since he devoured Genova, he had a vague feeling that there was a parasitic virus-infected thought entity in the core of the planet.

That was Genova's collective consciousness.

It parasitizes the core of a planet, and the entire planet will be hollowed out by the parasite.

The Mako energy here will become food for the Genoa. Eventually, the Genoa will reproduce, drain the energy from this planet, and then continue to wander the universe.

Until it encounters the next planet with the magical energy that attracts it.

Right now, his consciousness is locked in a fierce battle with the Genova consciousness within the planet's core.

One part of its consciousness was engaged in a fierce battle with Genova's thought entity, while another part was plundering the planet's magical energy.

How could we miss out on such a massive amount of energy?

However, during the battle between the two sides, there was another faint consciousness present.

"Is it an ancient species, or the will of a planet?"

Sephiroth thought for a moment and then ignored him.

He is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Genova's main thought entity.

Genova truly lives up to its reputation as an alien parasite that has taken over the core of the planet; it's incredibly troublesome, killing one batch only to have another spring up.

He's tired of killing people.

"What bad luck!"

After killing another batch of Genova consciousnesses, Sephiroth turned around and picked up Tifa in displeasure.

"Lord Sephiroth, I... I'm so tired—"

"Tomorrow, is tomorrow okay?"

Tifa was startled awake and turned pale with fright.

Upon hearing this, Sephiroth paused, patted her hair, and stopped bullying her.

It wasn't out of kindness, but because the old man downstairs woke up.

"You should take a rest first."

After saying that, he draped Tifa's clothes over her shoulders.

Then he turned around and went downstairs.

Watching his departing figure, Tifa's eyes revealed a complex emotion.

"Lord Sephiroth is so kind."

Tifa muttered to herself and drifted off to sleep again.

Gentle?

Sephiroth, who was going downstairs, smiled inexplicably. Yes, he was indeed very gentle.

I am a gentle and understanding person.

"you're awake?"

Downstairs, Tifa's father woke up looking bewildered.

A layer of dust covered his face.

"Cough-cough-"

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey~~"

The old man dusted himself off and asked blankly, "Wasn't I dead? What happened?"

Sephiroth exhaled a smoke ring and said, "You did die, but Tifa begged me to save you, so congratulations, you're alive again."

"..."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What happened to Tifa?"

"She was too tired and fell asleep."

Sephiroth replied casually.

The old man's expression froze. How could he not know this, having been through it all?

He stared intently at Sephiroth for a long time before letting out a bitter sigh.

"Lord Sephiroth, please be nicer to Tifa from now on, I'm begging you."

The old man said with a pleading expression.

Sephiroth glanced at him in surprise and laughed, "Old man, what you said makes me a little embarrassed."

"Here, this is for you, your betrothal gift—"

Sephiroth bequeathed a portion of his possessions to the old man.

This is the wealth he has accumulated over the years.

As Shinra's number one warrior, his salary is more than he can ever spend.

This would be perfect as a betrothal gift.

"Bride...betrothal gifts?"

The old man looked completely bewildered, having no idea what the betrothal gifts meant.

In this world, there is no such thing as a betrothal gift.

"It's the gift I gave to Tifa when I married her."

Sephiroth offered a casual explanation.

"Oh~~" The old man suddenly realized, then smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Sephiroth, you don't need this much. I could never spend all of this in my lifetime."

"Spend as much as you can if you can't spend it all."

Sephiroth waved his hand and then instructed, "Take the money and when Tifa wakes up, take her to buy a house and live a good life."

"I'll come back to see Tifa in a while."

After saying that, he went upstairs.

Dress Tifa properly, and look at Tifa who is still talking in her sleep.

He smiled and flew off the dilapidated balcony.

On the first floor, the old man watched him leave, looking at the betrothal gifts in his hand with a complicated expression.

"So, my daughter is dating Sephiroth, the first warrior of Shinra?"

The old man still looked completely bewildered.

It feels like this is a fantasy after I die, and it's not real at all.

... ...

After leaving, Sephiroth went directly to the Shinra Mansion.

He's going to get rid of Bao Tiao; keeping that guy around to cause trouble and annoy people every day is just annoying.

Upon arriving at the Shinra Mansion, one sees Shinra soldiers guarding the outside.

"Lord Sephiroth, you cannot go in."

They were stopped as soon as they arrived.

Sephiroth stared at the two Shinra soldiers. How dare they stop him?

"Who gave you the courage to stop me?"

Sephiroth glanced at the two soldiers expressionlessly.

He walked straight through the middle.

“Sa—”

The two soldiers tried to stop them, but a flash of light from a blade sent their heads rolling off.

Two small fry dared to stop him?

They've got some nerve.

Upon entering the mansion, Sephiroth followed his senses to find the entrance to the underground laboratory.

Open the door and enter the underground laboratory.

Upon entering, you'll see rows of petri dishes.

One of them was soaking Zack, and the other one was Cloud.

"Sephiroth?"

How did you get in here?

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Hojo stepped forward somewhat annoyed, ready to give them a scolding.

But Sephiroth didn't want to listen to his nonsense.

Clang~!

With a single slash, Hojo's body froze, blood spurting from his neck, before he tumbled to the ground.

Sephiroth stomped on his head and crushed it.

"Dr. Hojo has been murdered."

The Shinra soldiers around them were terrified.

Some tried to escape, but were easily killed by Sephiroth with a single sword strike.

One by one, the others drew their swords and charged forward.

Their fate was obvious; as Sephiroth made his move, one by one, these people were beheaded.

After killing everyone in the lab, Sephiroth scanned all the experimental data and records, then looked at the two people in the petri dish.

"Tsk, what a pity."

Sephiroth shook his head, deciding not to kill Zack and Cloud.

The two of them were perfect scapegoats for him.

"Zack, you'd better run away safely. I'll take care of Alice for you."

After reading it, he turned and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Shortly after he left, Zack's eyelids twitched in the petri dish, and he quickly woke up.

Zack was shocked to find himself immersed in Mako energy when he woke up.

Bang!

He smashed the petri dish with one blow and jumped out.

As it turned out, they found the ground littered with corpses, and Hojo's head had been crushed.

"what happened?"

Zack's mind was exploding, and he groaned in pain.

Upon seeing Cloud submerged inside, they immediately smashed the petri dish and rescued him.

Zack helped the unconscious Cloud, and the two quickly escaped the laboratory.

This escape, in effect, confirmed the two men's guilt of defection.

Shinra immediately issued a major warrant for his arrest and dispatched Shinra's special forces unit, the Tarks, to hunt him down.

Meanwhile, Sephiroth was walking on the streets of Midgard.

This steel city is the main city controlled by Shinra.

Destroy Shinra? Instead of just saying you want to destroy it, why not just take control of it and change its name?

"Flowers for sale! Flowers for sale!"

"Big brother, would you like to buy flowers?"

Just then, a clear sound came from ahead.

Sephiroth looked closely and saw a girl in a pink dress standing in front of him, holding a flower basket, looking at him with a charming gaze.

With her light brown long hair, delicate features, and an ethereal aura, she naturally exudes a captivating charm.

Like a flower fairy, she is pleasing to the eye.

A girl selling flowers.

Sephiroth's mind raced, and he suddenly remembered who she was.
