Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough?

The moment the voice prompt finished, Rhodes' muscles bulged.

After Rhodes was promoted twice and then three times, his level increased by two-thirds of his original attributes!

This is an unimaginable number. At least, Rhodes is now virtually invincible after being promoted three times. Even those who have just reached the third promotion level may not be without the power to fight!

After all, his skills are simply too terrifying.

Skill……

Yes, skill improvement is actually the key...

He might be promoted three times in a few days, but his skill improvement is still a long way off.

Professor Merrick's mission... is a fog, the fog of Ivina.

He snapped out of his reverie and looked at the dilapidated garden, some parts of which were even ablaze, with a detached expression.

Take it slow, there will always be a chance to teach that vicious white-haired brat a lesson.

He was thinking about what to do next, but the girl in front of him was thinking about even more things.

It's about the truth.

"Rhodes." Felicity bit her lip, her amber eyes fixed on Rhodes.

And in that instant, they grabbed him and turned him around.

Rhodes blinked, and asked, puzzled:

"What's wrong? Oh, you're asking if I'm hurt? I'm not hurt, since it didn't even come close to me."

"It's not about being injured!" Felicity shook her head nimbly like a cat, her face filled with inexplicable confusion.

"How could you possibly use my [Magic Crystal]...?"

"Ah, is this it?"

Rod smiled faintly and patted Felicity on the shoulder in return:

"What's wrong? Are you bothered by it? Actually, I suddenly had a clear mind and successfully deconstructed the problem about two weeks ago, but I just didn't tell you."

"..." Felicity didn't let go, but just clenched her teeth tightly.

Impossible... Absolutely impossible!

Because the "deconstruction" of her skills was supposed to happen four months later!

When they fled the Linlank Empire and returned to the Melanie Empire, she and Rhode were at the same level, so it took them a lot of trial and error to find a way to help him become stronger.

How could she possibly forget those memories of the two of them huddled within the spell, one constantly generating, the other constantly deconstructing, exploding, and retrying?

Yes, every night, the two of them would run to the courtyard to secretly test the feasibility of this method.

It's impossible to forget, and there's absolutely no way to forget...

After all, the memory of Rhodes dragging her along to try it out while shouting, "Shh, be quiet tonight, don't let Lilith find out we're huddled together researching this, or her affection level will drop," is one of the few times they had alone together.

She was filled with hatred at the time, and was determined to make the most of her power and restore the country. Therefore, that period was truly precious...

If Rhodes had truly deconstructed the situation very early on, why would he have wasted so much time acting alongside her?

She vaguely sensed the truth, that the man she loved was using his superb acting skills to portray the man from the past.

and--

All the differences seem to be explained by that truth, don't they?

Rhodes inexplicably returned to the academy's apartment and inexplicably came to rescue Miss Ivina...

All of this proves one fact—

She bit her pink lips tightly, her amber eyes seeming ready to spill out all the stories and truths.

The emotions pent up inside her made it hard for her to control herself, but... for a moment, she was slightly distracted, and then her eyes froze.

and many more……

She realized something.

If Rhodes is truly a returning being like her, then...

Where is Lilith?

thump.

A strange, twisted force rose within her heart, and her expression began to turn strange.

Yes……

If she returned, if Rhodes returned, there's no reason why Lilith wouldn't return...

The distortion of her memories and the peeling away of contradictions made her realize the possibility of the truth, and—

They swallowed the truth, tightly.

You can't ask.

We can't ask here, nor can we reveal everything directly.

Because of Lilith, no one knows when Rhodes deconstructed her spell.

Initially, Lilith was a cold, indifferent machine who wouldn't care when these two people developed a combo skill. Moreover, this was an experiment that Rhodes deliberately conducted behind Lilith's back.

What does this mean?

This means that if Lilith is also one of the returnees, then she was unaware of the truth just now.

In other words... she could have used this opportunity to keep her great "god" in the dark, allowing him to continue acting out their "first meeting" with Rhodes, while she could have run away...

Her inner excitement, coupled with her growing understanding of the true nature of the situation, fueled her anticipation.

She looked up, and said blankly:

"Luo...you deconstructed my spell?"

"Hmm. I've mentioned it before, haven't I? Your skills are very versatile, maybe we could give it a try."

"But this is a spell...this..."

"Alright, are you afraid that you won't be able to beat me once I figure you out?" Rod gently patted her head.

"No... Rod would never hurt me. Never mind, Rod, hug me."

Just act cute.

Disgusted by that god, he also satisfied himself.

See, even God couldn't resist anymore—

Felicity chuckled inwardly; just as she had expected, she heard Lilith's voice:

"alright."

Lilith interrupted their conversation, saying somewhat uncomfortably, "Stop talking nonsense. Can't you see the problem hasn't been solved yet?"

Lilith was a little surprised that Rhodes had already deconstructed Felicity's spell so early, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

She just didn't want Felicity to put on that "naive" act and ask Rhodes for a reward. After all, even though she knew Felicity didn't mean it that way, she still felt uncomfortable.

And she's right.

The matter is indeed not over yet.

When Rhodes realized what was happening, he also looked up at the sky—

That's right.

The barrier in the sky is still there—

In other words, there is at least one more demon seed.

But at this moment, Felicity was also stunned.

After all, there was only this one demon seed in the previous life, right?

What is the remaining demon seed?
