Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 251 Doubts

Icarus was preparing food in the kitchen, while Nymph and Astraea knelt properly in front of Jingchen and Zhishu, looking just like two children who had done something wrong and were about to receive a lesson.

"You guys are really something!" Tomoki's angry voice echoed throughout the house, and even Icarus in the kitchen could hear it clearly.

Nymph arrogantly added, "I did nothing wrong; it was all δ's fault in the end."

Astraea retorted, "Nymph-senpai, you've gone too far! You devil, you devil!"

"Didn't you steal it first?"

"Aren't you the same?"

The living room was filled with the sounds of Nymph and Astraea arguing. Icarus, who was frying schnitzel in the kitchen, turned around and saw a piece of paper on the table covered in writing in various colored pens. Upon closer inspection, it was a recipe!

That's right, this recipe was written by Tomoki. Since they were going to be staying at Tomoki's house, some chores were inevitable, but Jingchen was happy to take it easy and left the cooking to Icarus.

"In the end, it all comes down to hunger, doesn't it?" Tomoki interrupted their argument, succinctly summarizing the situation.

As soon as he finished speaking, Icarus opened the door with the food. The five of them sat at the table, and looking at the sumptuous meal in front of them, Jing Chen nodded approvingly at Icarus.

"Didn't I tell you you could come anytime? Eat well, you idiot," Tomoki said to Astraea, sitting opposite her.

After saying that, Tomoki put his hands together and said, "I'm starting."

Nymph, also somewhat bewildered, said, "I'm starting."

"I'm starting to eat," Jing Chen said, beginning to enjoy the delicious meal.

Astraea stared blankly at Tomoki, lost in thought. "I'm starting... it's ready."

Everyone stopped and stared silently at Astraea. To be honest, Jing Chen really liked Astraea. If you ignored her fighting abilities, Astraea was a total naive and innocent girl. She would occasionally bicker with Tomoki, but that was what made Jing Chen's life less boring.

Seeing Tomoki looking at her with a loving fatherly expression, Astraea blushed and softly said, "Idiot." Then, with lightning speed, she snatched a piece of fried pork cutlet from Tomoki's plate before he could even react, and Astraea had already eaten it.

Tomoki was startled, noticing a fried pork cutlet was missing from his plate. He exclaimed in surprise, "Stop, you idiot!"

Astraea swallowed the fried pork chop, smiled happily, and said, "Idiot, idiot!"

Tomoki, on the other hand, chose to fight fire with fire and also snatched a piece of Astraea's fried pork cutlet.

And so, whenever Astraea snatched food from Tomoki, Tomoki would snatch it back. Nymph, standing nearby, sighed helplessly, "Here we go again."

Jing Chen just smiled and ate his own food.

After dinner, it was already dusk. Jing Chen went out for a walk, and Astraea and Nymph also went out for a walk. Jing Chen walked to the nearby amusement park, sat on the swing, held onto the chain with one hand, and watched the sunset slowly descend on the horizon.

"Is there a world without any conflict...?" Jing Chen muttered to himself.

Having only experienced the Douluo Continent, Jing Chen had already developed a loathing for killing and conflict. But he was powerless to change it. Even though he had reached the very top, his strength was at its peak, he was still powerless to change anything. Let's leave aside fantasy worlds and just consider the modern era.

The modern world appears peaceful, but what kind of bloodshed and turmoil lies hidden beneath this surface? If it were the Jing Chen of the past, he might not have known.

Previously, Jing Chen hadn't experienced much hardship and had no understanding of the true nature of the world. But now, he had at least experienced a world like Douluo Continent, a place of constant conflict. Even a raw stone will develop sharp edges under intense polishing, let alone someone as easily influenced as Jing Chen.

Suddenly, Jing Chen felt his clothes being tugged. He turned around and saw a little girl in a nun's habit. The little girl looked at Jing Chen and smiled—a smile that Jing Chen couldn't describe. Was it sinister? How could a little girl who looked only seven or eight years old have such an expression? Was it innocent and naive? It felt somewhat against his conscience.

However, Jing Chen still smiled, patted the little girl's head, and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Do you want me to take you there?" the little girl's sweet voice rang out.

"Huh?" Jing Chen was taken aback.

"Would you like me to take you to a world without any conflict?" the little girl said.

Jing Chen smiled. "Thank you for your concern, but I think that although there are conflicts in this world, it's still a pretty good place."

Jing Chen stood up and said, "It's getting late, you should go home soon."

After saying that, Jing Chen prepared to go back to Zhi Shu's house. Suddenly, the little girl behind him smiled, "You got praised. How about we play a puppet game?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks. He recognized the words very well. That's right, it was the second-generation angel robot, Chaos, that Jing Chen had seen in his dream!

Jing Chen quickly turned around, but the little girl was no longer behind him.

……

Nymph and Astraea walked on the bridge. Nymph asked, "δ, what are you planning to do from now on?"

"Huh?" Astraea was taken aback.

Nymph asked, "Do you still want to get rid of Jing Chen?"

"What should I do?" Astraea asked.

"How would I know?"

"I can't go back to Synapse, and my master hasn't said anything. I really envy my predecessors; they were so happy," Astraea said.

"Speaking of which, Nymph-senpai, you're too cunning. In the end, all of today's events are pinned on me," Astraea said.

"I already said I'm sorry," Nymph said helplessly.

"Even though Nymph-senpai is so petite, she still ate so much watermelon," Astraea said.

Nymph stood there, looking at Astraea and asking, "Small? Who are you calling small?" It was easy to tell from Nymph's words that she was very angry.

Astraea turned around and saw Nymph about to get angry. "Oh no." She spread her wings and flew straight into the sky.

Looking back, Astraea saw Nymph standing still, motionless. Seeing Nymph looking up at her, Astraea suddenly remembered that Nymph's wings were damaged, and said gleefully, "By the way, Nymph-senpai, without wings, you can't catch me, can you?"

Hearing Astraea's joyful shouts, Nymph didn't say a word, turned around and left. Anyone with eyes could see that Astraea had touched a nerve with Nymph. Without wings, in a way, Nymph was now useless.

The crimson sunset accentuated Nymph's lonely figure. Traces of her torn wings were still visible on her back. Although Nymph's wings were transparent, the broken wings looked rather mocking against the backdrop of the sunset.

"Huh?" Astraea was stunned. Nymph's sudden reaction made her realize that she had said the wrong thing.

Watching Nymph's departing figure, Astraea muttered, "What the hell? It's all Nymph's fault. Besides, Icarus and Nymph were too willful; they both betrayed Synapse."

At this point, Astraea suddenly became confused. Why did they all betray Synapse?
