god of tomorrow

After careful consideration, the differences are quite significant.

They're a couple, and they went to each other's hospitality on their own initiative—it's so sweet! She just gave it all away; she's a complete clown. She's not even as good as the silly couple!

The thought of it makes me feel so ashamed that I wish I could move out of Qianshanbao right now and find a corner where no one knows me to live out my life alone.

Don't be angry!

The past is the past, the present is the present. We've found the right way to do things, and from now on, the roles of offense and defense have changed.

Lily silently warned herself that the sunk costs were so high that she couldn't act impulsively. Anyway, Gawain didn't know that she knew Gawain didn't know that she was sober. By taking advantage of the information gap, she could make Gawain vomit up everything he had swallowed.

Not counting the past, this time the real advantage is on my side, it's really secure!

"The ram's head scepter was indeed a forgery by my father..."

Lily spoke slowly, maintaining her composure and gradually getting used to the role she was playing, proactively sharing a wealth of information.

Firstly, in Hervy's words, Gawain would find out sooner or later, so there was no point in hiding it;

Secondly, it lowers Gao Wen's guard, and when he thinks he has everything under control, it will be her turn to make her move.

Of course, we can't say everything.

"But whether the genuine article is in my father's possession... I'm not sure... it might just be one of his collectibles..."

"Is your father-in-law really that unconventional?"

"Probably..."

"What a pity, all the collectibles were sacrificed to Chaos, and I, the son-in-law who came to live with us, didn't get a single one." Gao Wen sighed.

Although the mechanism of Chaos Sacrifice appears to be entirely random, and the strength of the obtained Chaos Magic is not absolutely equivalent to the value of the sacrifice, Gawain's own experience—exchanging a fragment of the Underworld for a 'God of Wishes' capable of distorting reality—perfectly illustrates the principle of high investment, high return, making it hard for him not to believe.

Looking at Hervy's time magic and Lily's space magic, both are chaotic magics with extremely powerful potential and effects. Getting two SSRs from a single blind box is clearly not something that can be explained by simple luck.

Only an astonishingly high level of investment can unlock high returns; chaos can be devoured.

This shows just how extravagant the unreliable father-in-law must be; most of his collections, if picked out randomly, would be priceless treasures.

Unfortunately, it's all gone, not even the castle foundation remains.

"..."

Lily didn't deny that Gawain was a live-in son-in-law, but could she please stop touching her sister-in-law's butt while saying that? Anyone who didn't know better would think she was the one who was looking for a son-in-law.

Gao Wen sighed for a long time, then said, "Did my unreliable father-in-law tell you how to seal or destroy the ram's head scepter?"

"Unreliable? That's a line my sister and I used to say!"

You act like you're so reliable!

Lily mentally scoffed, narrowing her eyes slightly as an idea formed in her mind: "There should be... but each of the twelve ram-headed scepters is different... I need to see which scepter it is before I can analyze the specific situation..."

"It's so complicated."

Without much thought, Gao Wen forcefully pried open the little black witch in his arms. Naturally, she resisted, and it took him a lot of effort to finally lay her down on his lap against her will.

Gao Wen: I'm exhausted. This woman is really strong.

Lily: I'm so wronged, this is so hard.

After laying Lily down, Gawain took out the ram's head scepter from his system inventory: "I found this trophy near the capital. The owner's name is Connor, the Dark Church's Agent Number Six. I obtained a lot of information about the Dark Church from him..."

Since Lily was in a daze at the moment, there was no point in saying anything more. Gawain glossed over the matter and asked her to take a look at how to seal the ram's head scepter.

As usual, before Lily does anything, she's rewarded with high-end imported goods.

Tsk tsk tsk —

Just as Gawain had predicted, Lily, energized by the reward, weakly raised her hand, grasped the handle of the ram's head scepter, and with a gentle twist, drew out half of a rapier.

The sword light reflected in Lily's eyes, revealing a hidden joy, while her face maintained a dreamy, languid, and alluring expression.

"How about it? Can it be sealed?"

"I...I can't think of anything right now...my head is spinning. I'll be able to think of something when I'm more alert," Lily murmured.

There were things Lily didn't say, such as the true purpose of the twelve ram's head scepters.

Opening the Hell Dimension is just a side effect. Once all twelve scepters are gathered, real-time coordinates can be sent to the Hell Dimension, and the old father can return directly to the Universal Continent the moment he senses the coordinates.

To put it simply, the twelve scepters are a contingency plan left by the master. If the servant Richiod encounters a powerful enemy he cannot defeat, he can send the coordinates to summon the master.

Richiod has raised the flag in rebellion; only a madman would do such a thing. Therefore, he sent out the twelve scepters, either bestowing them upon the bloodline of the elders as a symbol of their status, or sending them out of the Kingdom of Vis, waiting for the right moment to open the gates of hell.

In short, the twelve scepters must never be together!

"If you ask when you're sober, wouldn't that be tantamount to handing the scepter to you willingly?"

Gawain pursed his lips: "It's not that it's impossible. Herwi said that we are family and that I should be closer to you so as not to make our relationship too strained. It's you who has been giving me the cold shoulder. Even though you were the one who launched the night raid and failed, you were still angry and targeted me in various ways, which strained our relationship."

After saying that, he fed her another sip of sports drink.

Tsk tsk tsk —

One is stiff, the other is hard; together they form stiffness.

Lily hummed softly. She was wrong to be angry at Night Raid, but that was in the past. Now that she was sure Gawain was awake, her anger turned into righteous indignation.

Now we can't ignore the facts anymore; Gao Wen should take full responsibility.

"It's safer with me. Tomorrow you can find an opportunity... and say you found it on the street..."

"It's possible, but if I say that, you'll definitely come again tomorrow night. You little glutton, you can always find an excuse."

Gao Wen grumbled angrily. He knew that drunk people were prone to making fools of themselves and being unreliable in all sorts of ways, but he had never seen anyone like Lily who schemed against him while drunk and gave him advice.

"I'm not...greedy..."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Gao Wenzheng nodded, but suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Tonight, Lily spoke haltingly, but her logic was exceptionally clear. And although he was clearly in control of the situation, it turned out that Lily was about to acquire the scepter.

Something's not right, there's a problem!

Gao Wen's pupils contracted sharply. Was it possible that Lily had a drink tonight and stopped in time, instead of getting completely drunk?

Probably not!

The Little Black Witch is a person who cares about her reputation, and she especially likes to put on airs. Putting aside when she's confused, when she's clear-headed, she would never take imported medicine again and again.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

In this situation, being conscious is equivalent to a man stealing his sister.

Gawain believed he knew Lily well; she wouldn't do something so shameless. If he crossed her line even slightly, she would be so ashamed and angry that she would carry the train station to a foreign country overnight.

But if you're willing to give up and don't want to be a free kill in the early game, you might pretend to be drunk to pull off a desperate last stand...

Gao Wen thought of last night; Lily was awake for a minute, then her memory went blank.

Was it really a blackout?

My god, this woman is too ruthless!

Gao Wen was horrified as he thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more sense it made. Then he realized that Lily didn't know that he knew Lily didn't know that he knew Lily was conscious. The initiative was still in his hands. The one who should be panicking was Lily.

That being said, we shouldn't scare ourselves. We'll have to test whether Lily is truly drunk or not.

"We'll talk about tomorrow's problems tomorrow. As for whether you're a little glutton, we need to have a serious talk about it." Gao Wen put away the ram's head scepter, looking like he had been wronged by his boss earlier.

"No...it's not."

Before Gawain could even exert his strength, Lily took the initiative to throw herself at him, clinging to him like an octopus.

"Tell me, what scenes did you see when you read the memories in my blood?" Gawain whispered in Lily's ear, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and lifted Lily up a little.

The effect was mediocre. Lily neither shuddered nor received any large breasts. She was panting heavily, much like someone who had drunk too much.

That's normal. Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Gawain was skeptical, while Lily pondered for a long time before tentatively recounting what she had seen.

It was a metal cabin. Gao Wen walked out of it from a first-person perspective, his sleeves adorned with the same sun symbol as Gao De.

No wonder you insisted on bringing Gaode Maps along and even forced it on me; it turns out you already knew.

Before Gawain could speak, Lily said haltingly, "How strange... What family do you come from... Is Gawain a member of your clan? Did she come to see you... to deliver a message from her family?"

You've been talking too much!

With such clear logic, and knowing how to gather intelligence, you must be fully sane!

If you can tolerate this much, then I'll play along.

"I don't want to mention the family behind this. We're family, and I don't want to hide anything. You can 'see' it, right? You can come and see for yourself another day." Gao Wen added to himself, "Remember to share after you've seen it."

As he spoke, he lay back and laid out a two-dimensional diagram on the bed, saying helplessly, "Every time it gets to this time, it's your turn to improvise. I know you can't stand it anymore. I'll pretend to be asleep from now on, and you can do whatever you want!"

He twisted his neck to the right, closed his eyes, and fell fast asleep.

"..."

Lily was completely numb, and just when she was about to get her hands on some important information, it suddenly became her time to do whatever she wanted...

I have no clue what to do and don't know how to proceed.

During the first few night raids, especially the first three times she stayed overnight, Lily would wake up each time astonished by how badly she behaved when drunk, giving Gawain quite a hard time. But back then, her mind was blank, and she had no idea what she had done. Now, if she were asked to perform from scratch, where should she begin? Should she start by taking off her clothes?

"Hurry up, you're too quiet tonight, it's not like you at all."

Gawain opened his eyes in confusion and kindly reminded him, "Generally speaking, you'll strip me of my clothes despite my resistance, then your own clothes, and then..."

boom!

Lily couldn't hear what came next. As soon as Gao Wen opened his mouth, a thunderous sound exploded in her mind. She was so ashamed and indignant that she just wanted to ask one question: how do I get to the nearest train station?

She was hesitant and not at all decisive; she was indeed clear-headed.

If you can't keep up the act, then stop. Given how close we are, if we keep acting, one of us will eventually give in first.

Gawain opened his mouth, about to say something, when he saw Lily lean down and forcefully cover his mouth, escalating to physical contact.

Ali, are you serious?!

In a daze, Gao Wen was confused, unable to tell whether Lily was drunk or sober.
