Restarting the myth.

Chapter 254: Self-esteem deteriorates, and it will end sooner or later
Wayne slapped his butt, waved his hand to heat the water, and dragged Senna to take a hot spring bath together.

Soaking in the hot spring is not the goal, but a means to trample on Senna's dignity. Things are different now. Xifei is not only her student, but also her master's teacher.

When facing Sphy, Senna needs to learn to respect her like her master.

By the way, study Senna's body.

Very serious scientific research.

Senna is Wayne's first follower in the strict sense, and is very different from Philomena. Wayne tries to find a balance by studying Senna's changes.

It can both allow Sphy and Veronica to maintain their human form and allow them to pass the curse easily.

Wayne searched for half an hour and looked everywhere, but the result was not very encouraging. Apart from the fact that Senna was really a great beauty, he found nothing.

Because of Wayne's reckless contamination, her changes were quite drastic, and her research value was far less than Philomena's.

But Philomena also broke this balance point, but because Wayne kept it from her, she was not aware of the drastic changes that had taken place in her.

Wayne climbed out of the water, his body melted and he got into his clothes to reshape himself, his brows furrowed. He needed a new test subject, and let him evolve as slowly as possible to find that balance point.

Wayne didn't want to do this. The ancient gods' path of evolution was just a way to fool people. He himself didn't know who he was and he had to stick to his moral bottom line. Unless it was a bad woman like Senna who asked for trouble, he would not take the initiative to capture the experimental subject.

But if we don't study it, there will be basically no solution for Xifei and Veronica. Senna is a legendary wizard, and even the goddess ignores her, so it is likely that the two of them will be in trouble too.

Wayne can't rely on the goddess, so he has to find a way himself.

"It's difficult. I can throw away my heart, but I can't throw away my conscience..."

Nonsense, you have lost your conscience long ago.

Senna climbed out of the water tremblingly. She called it shameless when she heard the words. She dared not say it out loud and could only think about it in her heart.

As expected, the two arms melted and two balls of white foam slowly crawled on the ground.

She grew two new arms and took the white foam back into her body. It was her first day as a non-human being and her heart was cold.

What's even more terrifying is that when she was beaten by Wayne just now, she not only didn't feel ashamed, but also enjoyed it. She tasted some unprecedented pleasure on the edge of depravity.

Senna cried out inwardly, her self-esteem soured, and she felt that it would be the end of her sooner or later.

"Don't be sad. Beliefs are the same everywhere. If you don't let me torment you, you will be tormented by the goddess of nature sooner or later."

At least a goddess is a woman!

"So what? Gender is so rigid, why not use your imagination?"

"..."

"Oh my god, why do you have such a rich imagination?" Wayne waved his hands repeatedly, not knowing what he saw, but he was grinning with joy.

Stop looking at it, don’t look at it anymore!
Senna staggered and knelt on the ground, filled with grief and anger. Her self-esteem was trampled on the ground and covered in mud. She wanted nothing more than death.

Wayne handed over the clothes, but Senna slapped him away. That was it, there was no hope in her life anymore.

I strongly suspect that he destroyed the world in his previous life, otherwise he wouldn't deserve this retribution.

"Senna, think about it brightly. I'm about to leave the church headquarters, and we won't see each other for several years. Thinking this way, do you have the motivation to live again?" Wayne pinched a piece of underwear with two fingers, examining it and shaking his head.

As a fashion designer, he was disdainful of Senna's poor taste.

"Those were lessons for you. Don't talk bad about Teacher Xifei in front of me. I still say the same thing. You can keep your dignity and respect, unless you don't want to."

Wayne urged Senna to put on her clothes quickly. She was an adult, but she was trying to commit suicide when she encountered a little setback. If everyone had such poor mental quality, the human race would have become extinct long ago.

Wayne gave Senna some profound lectures and gave her some chicken soup, which barely cheered her up.

The chicken soup was not very effective. Senna regained motivation because Wayne was about to leave the church headquarters and a free life beckoned her.

This is a world without Wayne!

"But you have Wayne all over you..."

"..."

puff!

Senna was shot in the chest. She took the clothes and put them on tremblingly, and soon returned to the cold and indifferent face she had when they first met.

He gave up on himself and prepared to take revenge on society.

Wayne curled his lips. This woman was indeed crazy. When she was in trouble, she had to drag others down with her. When she couldn't take revenge on Xifei, she changed her target to someone else.

Wayne didn't say anything. The constraints of her thinking made Senna daydream. She would understand this sooner or later.

"Senna, during the Saint's assessment, I came across a very interesting Hidden Mist Forest. Find a way. I want it."

"The Kirigakure Forest is the property of the church, not mine..."

"I am informing you, not discussing with you. If you have any problems, find a way to solve them yourself."

Wayne said angrily, "You are a church leader who has no moral integrity. You must have set fire to warehouses many times. Why don't you just do it again? Do you still need me to teach you this?"

"No, it's not. The Hidden Mist Forest cannot burn."

Senna gritted her teeth and said, "The Mist Forest is a solidified life force field, formed by the life of a legendary wizard. It's only one step away from the Philosopher's Stone..."

"Wait a minute, I don't understand the details of this part. First, what is the Philosopher's Stone?"

In Wayne's cognition, the Philosopher's Stone is the highest masterpiece of alchemy, also known as the fifth element and the miracle stone. In Senna's explanation, the Philosopher's Stone is indeed related to alchemy, and the refining materials are precious legendary wizards.

To be more precise, the success rate for a legendary wizard to meet the minimum requirements for refining the Philosopher's Stone is very low, and it is almost impossible to succeed.

In order to obtain the Philosopher's Stone, the refining material must be a demigod.

The life domain of a demigod can influence others, grant knowledge and power, and create his own followers.

The holder of the Philosopher's Stone will gain the ability of a demigod, expand his domain and create followers. Because of the enhancement of alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone has a wider range of applications and its influence is far greater than that of a demigod.

To give a simple example, Senna is a believer in nature. If you give her a philosopher's stone, she can create minions of death and darkness through her thoughts and fantasies.

This stone not only grants the user the realm of life, but also allows the user to fully utilize their talents and project fantasy into reality.

The most terrifying thing is that the Philosopher's Stone has no requirements for its user. Even an ordinary person who has never learned magic can exert the power of a demigod without any scruples.

For these reasons, the Philosopher's Stone is more precious than a demigod.

"What's the price?"

Wayne interrupted: "Everything in the world has a price. What is the price of using the Philosopher's Stone?"

“I don’t know. I have never seen the real Philosopher’s Stone, and there are no demigods on the Chosen Continent. If I have to talk about the price, it is only the life of a demigod.” Senna shook her head, her words full of desire for a demigod.

As she spoke, Senna's expression changed.

She has achieved a higher level of evolution, and demigod is no longer an unattainable fantasy. If she becomes demigod one day in the future, can she expel Wayne's thoughts from her body?

"Give it a try, it should be possible. Work hard, I'm confident in you," Wayne encouraged.

Senna's face turned pale. Fearing that she would be dragged into the water and humiliated by Wayne, she hurriedly explained: "I have no intention of betraying you. I just... I just haven't adapted to it yet. Give me some time. I won't have any more illusions in the future."

"No, I appreciate your fantasy. Seriously, you can think about it. I approve of this ambition."

Wayne patted Senna on the shoulder and changed the subject: "But don't do childish betrayal. For example, if it weren't for arrogance, you wouldn't be controlled by me this time."

Senna looked at Wayne cautiously, her eyes questioning whether it was true or not. If Wayne allowed betrayal, she would have the motivation to live.

"Sure, I like people who are ambitious."

Wayne nodded: "Go on, what's going on in the Hidden Mist Forest?"

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Senna held on to hope and refused to let go, and replied: "The Hidden Mist Forest was originally a legendary wizard of the Church of Death. After the church captured him, they used alchemy to forge the Philosopher's Stone..."

The Hidden Mist Forest is the result of failed alchemy. At its core is a half-finished Philosopher's Stone, which is of great significance and extremely precious.

Senna has no power to give the stone to Wayne, and neither does the Pope, unless the goddess asks.

"Nature Knights are not allowed, either?"

"Well, of course the Nature Knight can, but..."

Senna swallowed and said, "Can you really become the chosen knight?"

Before, Senna was full of confidence in Wayne. He had excellent magical talent and could communicate with nature through casual practice. She couldn't find a potential stock better than Wayne.

Now...

What the hell is this!
pat!

Senna dropped one of her arms to the ground and smiled awkwardly: "I still need to get used to it."

Wayne rolled her eyes. If it wasn't for the teacher's consideration, she would have turned such a traitor into a puff in the pool.

"Senna, for the sake of our friendship, I will reveal another secret to you."

Wayne grabbed Senna by the collar and whispered in her ear: "My native bloodline imitates the ancient gods. My strength is not only in my body, but also in my infinite possibilities. Are you curious about why I can become an elf?"

Senna paused when she heard the words, her breathing slightly quickened, it was too close, her body and mind expressed their desire to Faith.

Wayne was stunned for a moment and pushed Senna away: "Respect yourself, I'm still a child."

Who do you think made me like this?
Senna was furious, but she was gentle and easy-going at heart. She cursed at Faith and her body disintegrated into foam, taking a long time to reassemble into human form.

She cursed the Pope, the Great Prophet, and other high-ranking officials of the church, then angrily picked up her clothes and put them on.

Since she can’t curse her faith, she vents her anger on others. She knows how to transfer emotions.

Wayne felt particularly comfortable listening to this. He liked Senna's unruly look. It was so pleasing to see her resisting and accepting training at the same time.

After a while, Senna straightened her clothes, tidied up her messy blonde hair around her ears, and waited with a cold face for Faith to continue speaking.

"I am a free wizard, and I have many beliefs, including the three goddesses of the Life Alliance and the two goddesses of darkness and death. They are all my teachers, and I have shown them a certain degree of respect."

Wayne was playing the flute when he saw Senna's cold face and looked particularly arrogant. He grabbed her collar and pulled her in front of him. What are you so arrogant about?
Senna's breathing accelerated uncontrollably, sweat began to form on the tip of her nose, and she bit her lips in shame and anger.

That's pretty much it!
Wayne let it go with satisfaction, waved his hand into the void, and pulled out a knight's sword.

"Gudu!"

Senna swallowed and subconsciously took two steps back: "The Death Knight's Shadow Nightmare... How did this artifact end up in your hands?"

Senna strongly suspected that the Shadow Nightmare was fake, but the tranquil aura of death stung her skin like ice, and it was undoubtedly the real thing.

Moreover, this is her dark realm, her territory. Her mind did not sense any spatial fluctuations, which indirectly proved that the shadow nightmare was not hidden in Wayne's personal space.

"Jiejiejiejie————"

Wayne transformed into a Death Knight, with white light flickering from his skull head. His tattered death cloak turned into gray tentacles, wrapping around Senna's arms and corroding them into ashes.

Senna's broken arm recovered and she wanted to resist, but she couldn't do anything about her beliefs.

She couldn't even touch her own beliefs unless Wayne allowed her to.

"This is the possibility of the original bloodline. The goddesses are indifferent to ordinary people like you, but it's different with me. They really favor me."

Wayne said as he exited the Death Knight state, and the next second, he pulled out the Twilight Despair and transformed into the Dark Knight.

After two consecutive switches, two God-chosen knights descended in succession, leaving Senna stunned. Her mind went blank and she gave up thinking.

The God-chosen Knight is unique, and this is a truth that everyone agrees on, including the Knight himself.

The education Senna received since childhood did not allow her to believe the facts in front of her. Her worldview was reshaped, and she stood there in a daze for a long time before she came to her senses.

At this moment, the look in her eyes when she looked at Wayne had changed. She didn't know where to start with a thousand words, and murmured, "Xi Fei...she treated me like this?"

Yes, it was true that they had not been in contact for twenty years, and she did treat Xifei as a tool, but she did not retaliate. They just kept each other company and treated each other as strangers.

On the contrary, it was Xifei who ate her food and took her things, and after she finished her studies, she left with a sentence "I don't want to serve you anymore" and went home to marry a strange man, making all her investment of more than ten years go to waste.

The more Senna thought about it, the angrier she got. She didn't retaliate, but Sphynx refused to give in and threw the Death + Dark Knight combination at her.

Can she handle two knights this big?
Bah, the ungrateful bastard clearly wants to kill his master!

Two minutes later, Senna regained her human form and angrily picked up her clothes and put them on.

"Why don't you wear it now, so you don't have to wear it again later."

Wayne was so happy that he kept complaining, and took the initiative to explain: "Don't get me wrong, the teacher doesn't know the truth about me. She didn't mean to plot against you. It was you who made yourself like this, so you can't blame others."

"But she didn't say your blood is more noble than dragon blood!" Senna disagreed, as she was the only one hurt.

"How can you tell outsiders such a secret?"

"..."

"Not anymore in the future. Remember to be polite when we meet next time and call me teacher together."

"..."

Senna suffered a double blow and wanted to die.

"Forget it, let's call each other by our own names. I promised to give you some respect."

Wayne pointed at the two swords in front of him and said, "This is the source of my confidence. The goddesses of darkness and death are like this, and the goddess of nature is definitely no exception. I will be chosen by God, and the Knight of Nature will always be qualified to obtain the Hidden Mist Forest, right?"

"Qualified, even if only as an heir."

Senna was exhausted, and thought of something. She frowned and said, "You are in a very dangerous situation now, goddess... I don't think the goddess is willing to share her knights. You will definitely be exposed."

For her own sake, she learned to think for Wayne.

"So at first I didn't want to become a Knight of Nature. If you hadn't threatened me with the Dragon Blood Curse, I wouldn't have agreed." Wayne glared at Senna.

Senna said decisively: "It's not too late now. Mr. Mura has not arrived at the church headquarters yet. I asked Gavin to contact him. He always has a reason to refuse."

"No, I want the Hidden Mist Forest."

"Why, that forest means nothing to you." Senna advised Wayne to calm down. Two lives for one corpse is no joke.

"Because you guys are not human, many candidates for the Saint are buried in the Mist Forest. They are too resentful, and I want to take them out." Wayne's face was calm.

The twelve spirits of vengeance are not important, he can sign or not. The key is that these unlucky guys make him subconsciously think of Veronica.

As a fellow candidate, seeing these vengeful spirits is like seeing Veronica.

Since you have the ability, lend a hand.

"Just because of those undead?"

Senna couldn't believe it. She didn't believe Wayne was so kind. Faintly, she sensed that Wayne's attitude was gradually becoming cold, so she hurriedly explained: "I didn't do anything to the saint candidates. Xifei was the first saint I supported, and Veronica was the second. Believe me, those undead have nothing to do with me."

"Then you're not a good person either!"

"..."

Senna lowered her head and clenched her fists, feeling extremely angry. Wayne's attitude towards her and Sphy was so different, the difference was so big that one was praised to the sky while the other was trampled underfoot. She felt extremely jealous and couldn't help wanting to replace her.

"Why, you still want to be a mother?"

"..."

Senna shook her head repeatedly. From her resolute attitude, it was clear that the mother she was thinking of and Wayne were not the same person.

"You can handle the investigation as you wish and get more benefits. It might be a good thing if you really have a chance to become the Pope..." Wayne's eyes lit up and he had a bold dream. With his thinking as a constraint, the church might undergo earth-shaking changes.

Senna's eyes lit up, but then she became disinterested. It was just a puppet, what was there to look forward to?

"If you want power, you have to pay an equal price. Doesn't it make you feel better if you think this way?"

Wayne mocked her and then made a promise: "When I become the natural chosen one, I will support you in seizing power. Perform well and don't let me down."

Senna nodded calmly, praying that the proto-bloodline could pass the goddess' test.

Both the goddesses of death and darkness recognized Wayne's evolution path as an ancient god. Whatever they had, the goddess of nature must also get.

Senna made excuses for herself and comforted herself that it was not a big problem.

Facing a life-and-death crisis, she couldn't consider the Pope or anything like that for the time being.

"If there's nothing wrong, take me out of here."

Wayne pointed to the outside world and said, "Teacher Senna, please be normal in front of Veronica. I allow you to offend to a certain extent."

Wow!

Senna's thoughts were too intense and she collapsed into a ball.

Wayne's face was full of black lines: "This level is not acceptable, it exceeds the standard."

"I have another question." Senna put on her clothes expressionlessly, admitting that Wayne was right and it would have been better if she hadn't worn them just now.

"Go ahead."

"Are Virgil and Circe dead?"

“I would call it blending into nature.”

"..."

No, as expected!
Senna patted her chest. She was just one step away from getting dressed again.

"Teacher Senna, if you don't know how to grasp the standards, just face your own heart. You know what I mean to you. I used to be the goddess of nature, and I will be you in the future." Wayne said clearly.

"I will adapt..."

Senna nodded lightly, took Wayne out of the dark realm and returned to the villa garden.

Veronica lowered her head to read a book. When she saw the two people appear, she closed the book, respectfully called "Teacher Senna", and then gave Wayne a wink.

Veronica: How's the situation? Have you tricked this old witch?
Wayne: You know me, I'm very good at deceiving women and fooled her.

Senna: (_)
Wayne deliberately disgusted Senna so that she would know how she was viewed by the younger generation. He pulled her into the chat room, muted her microphone but allowed her to hear the conversation.

Old witch!
Good, good, good, they are worthy of being Xifei’s offspring, each one is more filial than the other.

"Veronica, I will come here often in the future. You have great talent, and I plan to teach you some dragon language magic. Please remember it well and give it to Xifei when you return." Senna said with the airs of an elder.

Veronica was stunned for a moment, nodded in thanks, and gave Wayne a puzzled look.

Veronica: What's going on? Did you give the old witch some love potion? Why is she so good?

Wayne: About the same. I’ve been told that I’m very good at deceiving women.

Veronica: Hey, you didn't show her the diary, did you?
Wayne: Not really, you are the only one who can read the diary.

Veronica: That's more like it.

Senna's face was covered with dog food, it was so sweet that she almost choked to death. She despised Wayne for pretending to be pure and mocked Veronica for being a copy of Sphynx, who was destined to be deceived by bad men all her life.

Just as the thought came to his mind, he realized that he had not turned into mud. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his look gradually became strange.

"Veronica, Wayne's body hasn't recovered yet. I will take care of him for some time in the future. You just need to study hard." Senna patted Wayne's shoulder, her eyes filled with syrup, so sweet that they were about to be pulled.

"what?!"

Veronica shuddered, looked at the social scum viciously, and was so angry that she wanted to hit him.

Asshole, is this how you lied to her?
Also, it’s only been a short time, how come you are so good at lying to women!
