Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough?

Chapter 94 The Power at the Pinnacle of the World—The Eternal Sage (Prepare for Battle!)

Rhodes didn't pay any attention to the isolated space.

After all, he understood the reason: if you really want to try to understand someone else's technique, you have to take off at least several layers of clothing.

So it's only natural that he, as a man, shouldn't be standing around watching.

Rhodes looked around, rubbing his chin as he awaited the outcome, while also pondering just how much treasure Merrick possessed.

Each white box represents a special item, and there are hundreds of them here—if I could take them all, wouldn't that be incredibly awesome?

However, at the very least, Lilith would have to be able to analyze Merrick's spell.

Rhodes exhaled softly and sat cross-legged on the spot.

He understood very well that Lilith, as one of the world's twelve most powerful beings and even a god of the "Second Order" in terms of combat strength, had conducted extensive research in these areas.

Her so-called 40% was actually almost 99% certain.

It was only to prevent even the slightest possibility of being proven wrong that I said 40%.

It's a very simple principle. To put it bluntly, if you succeed, it's because you have excellent skills and good luck.

But if you fail, you'll just be a proud but incompetent clown.

Lilith would never allow this to happen to her.

The time was quite long.

When the waiting fell on Rhodes' shoulders, he was actually a little impatient.

The method of helping Merrick repair the divine seed was not originally in his plan, so time was quite tight.

We need to get back before noon, otherwise we won't have time to take Ivina to take the final step in the afternoon.

He rested his elbows on his thighs, his face lightly against the back of his hands, his eyes calmly focused on the silkworm room.

I couldn't see through it—but I could vaguely make out two figures.

"So, anyone who once had some ability would have a title. What is your title?" Merrick asked coldly, sitting cross-legged in front of Lilith.

"My name?" Lilith paused slightly. "I can't tell you."

"What kind of shameful thing is it?"

"almost."

indeed.

If the words "Star God" were uttered, it would be a complete disaster.

After all, as long as no one really knows that the young god has fallen, then everything is just a conspiracy theory.

But as long as there is one being who knows—then everyone knows.

If the secret can be kept sealed forever, there will be absolutely no increase in danger. Therefore, Lilith is unable to reveal the fact that she is a star goddess at this moment.

"The unspoken name is nothing more than a stigma given by those bored humans. I never expected that someone as seemingly peaceful as you would be such a villain."

"He's not exactly a bad person," Lilith shook her head again. "I'm going to begin."

Lilith first put on the gold-rimmed glasses, then poured the power of the divine spring into them—

With a whoosh, the gold-rimmed glasses emitted a light luster, and at the same time, Lilith's pupils constricted, focusing all her mental energy on a single point.

At this moment, the [Luke Crystal] in Lilith's hand emitted a dazzling light, and at the same time, it continued to strengthen, gathering power—

The azure threads grew wildly like an ocean, and began to pierce Merrick's body in thousands upon thousands.

Sensing this eerie skill, Merrick's pupils constricted.

Each fine thread was precisely inserted into her veins, demonstrating an unparalleled level of skill.

"Monster level—" Merrick was rarely impressed by others' abilities, but the abilities Lilith was displaying at this moment were something she had never expected.

And it was at this very moment—

The burning sensation in the body and the cutting sensation of the nerves being severed began to grow wildly, like a severed arm being rebuilt, with an extreme level of subtlety.

In Lilith's eyes, it was thousands upon thousands of intertwined balls of fur, plunging everything into chaos.

But she also knew that these fluff balls were only connected to each other at the last node before they became tangled up like this.

In other words, as long as she can accurately find this key point, then no matter what—everything can be resolved.

Finding a needle in a haystack?

indeed so.

It's as troublesome as trying to find the last incorrect step in a calculation, but not knowing which one is the last one—

ten minutes.

twenty minutes.

One hour.

Time slipped away like sand through an hourglass, but Lilith, adrift in the vast ocean, could not find the point to cut.

If she were at her peak, she could have read everything directly, but unfortunately, her strength is far too lacking now.

But Lilith suddenly paused.

Therefore—Merrick's divine seed was the crimson, raging thread, but in that instant, she sensed something different.

That's right—

A brand new, blue node appeared before our eyes.

As soon as she touched the threads she had been analyzing, she instantly felt a completely different energy surge through her body.

At that moment, Lilith also narrowed her eyes;

It's not as simple as just connecting nodes together —

At least, Lilith realized that even if the node was removed, Merrick's power might never be able to increase again, but at least now she could recover to her peak, or rather, maintain her peak combat power for a period of time, which was no longer a problem.

That's right.

Lilith's power gathered at her fingertips, and she touched that point with all her might, finally cutting it open.

Chaka.

It was just a sound.

Everything has changed.

Boom boom boom!

It was a heartbeat as loud as thunder, instantly causing a sharp pain in Rhodes' eardrums.

At this moment, Merrick's terrifying power began to spread wildly from the cocoon like ripples!

One after another, crimson skulls, their blood-red killing intent surging forth like mountains and seas of corpses, eventually coalescing into a terrifying crimson mist—

This cloud of fog completely covered the entire pale white space;

At the same time, a roaring laugh rang out, "Hahaha—!"

"6

"Death, disaster, slaughter!"

At this moment, Merrick's body arched backward, his hands raised high, a maniacal laugh escaping his lips, his pupils turning crimson. The elf's arrogance and composure had vanished completely; in this instant—

The figure that appeared before Rhodes was none other than the so-called "Calamity Elf," the King of Slaughter, Merrick Roland.

"They all have to die!"
