Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

Rhodes met the Empress in her bedchamber.

The Empress sat languidly on the throne, looking down at Rhodes with an indifferent expression.

Do you remember our promise?

"Of course I remember."

Rhodes nodded calmly.

This conversation occurred almost every time he had an audience with the Queen.

In the past, he had always been in a passive position, sweating profusely under the tyranny of the empress.

This time, he will take the initiative.

Rhodes walked straight toward the Queen.

He then placed his hands on the sofa armrests and leaned down to look at the Queen.

The Queen looked surprised and was somewhat at a loss after Rhodes' actions.

"His Majesty."

Rod said unhurriedly.

"I'm here to keep my promise. Come with me out of the palace, and let's welcome the New Year together."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The queen was stunned for a moment, then became furious.

She pushed Rhodes down, straddled him, and questioned and threatened him as always.

But when she loosely clenched her fist and punched Rod's chest.

Rhodes grabbed the Queen's wrist and flipped her over, pinning her beneath him.

The empress of the empire was thus subdued by him without any warning.

The Queen completely lost her mind.

She made a symbolic struggle, but saw that Rod showed no sign of letting go.

A flush of embarrassment and annoyance immediately appeared on her face.

"What do you want to do to me?"

"I'm inviting you, Shia."

Rhodes gazed at the Queen.

To deal with the Empress, who has high attack but low defense, we should strike hard directly.

"I know you have a second personality, and I've witnessed the destruction of the world with you."

"How do you know...?"

"Come with me, let's leave this prison called the palace and go out to experience the beauty of the world."

"Did you hear that from another version of myself? You believed her lies and wanted to take her away from the dangerous palace."

The Empress had a cold smile on her lips.

"I told you, I invited you, not someone else, nor another personality of yours."

Rhodes shook his head.

He knew very well that the Queen's second personality was born out of her fear and desire to escape omniscience and omnivision.

To some extent, this precisely represents the Empress's true inner thoughts.

Fear of death, attachment to life, dependence on Rhodes, longing for the outside world...

"..."

The Queen stared intently at Rhodes.

After a long while, she slowly spoke.

"You should know that I cannot abandon imperial affairs and leave the palace with you."

"You just need to make a wish, and I'll take care of the rest."

Rod said seriously.

……

It was already the next day when I left the palace.

Rhodes finally persuaded the Queen and met her second personality, extending the same invitation.

Next, he would begin preparations to bring the Empress out of the palace.

Rod, along with Angela and Luna, went through a secret passage hidden in the study to his underground research lab.

At this moment, a circular magic circle had been engraved on the open ground of the research room.

"Wow, Professor Rhodes, you're secretly breaking the rules!"

The witch who had come to join the fun immediately recognized the magic circle in front of her.

This is a long-lost taboo in alchemy, and its records can probably only be found in the Sky City.

It is comparable to the resurrection spell that brings the dead back to life.

"Unless you tell me the secret you're hiding, Professor, I'm reporting you to the Alchemy Guild!"

"This is not human transmutation."

Rod calmly explained.

As is widely known, in the field of alchemy, humans are composed of three things: body, soul, and spirit.

Human transmutation actually refers to the creation of the three elements and their merging into a true human being.

But Rhodes only intends to forge a physical body capable of carrying a soul this time.

The spell array before him was Rhodes' second greatest achievement in the field of alchemy, after countless time loops.

"Let's begin."

The materials needed for human transmutation are ready.

Rhodes immediately activated the alchemy incantation.

In an instant, the magic array on the ground burst forth with dazzling white light.

The materials at the center of the magic circle gradually decomposed and merged, first forming a small embryo, and then rapidly growing into the outline of a human body.

At the very moment the human body took shape, another spell of the magic circle began to glow faintly.

As the faint light appeared, the created human body began to show signs of life.

Until all the light faded away.

What came into view was a beautiful woman, sleeping naked in the center of the magic circle.

Rhodes, having completed the spell, looked up at the other person.

The next second, Anjie blindfolded him.

"Teachers are not allowed to peek."

"That's right, teachers shouldn't peek at girls' naked bodies!"

"..."

When Ange let go, Luna had already wrapped the woman up tightly with a bed sheet.

Although Rhodes didn't do this with any dirty intentions, he still regretted letting Angela and Luna come and watch.

To be honest, this is my own research result, so I can't even look at it?

The key point is that the two of you have done outrageous things before, like barging into the bathroom naked.

Rhodes was speechless.

At this moment, the witch had already approached, the six-pointed star in her pupils blinking curiously.

"Professor Rhodes, that was the application of a soul technique just now, wasn't it? Your research progress is far too fast!"

"It's just transferring and attaching the soul; it's not a complete soul technique."

Just like in Rhodes' past cycles, he attached his soul to the magic mirror.

And this time it's the same principle.

It's just that the magic mirror has been replaced with a specially made physical vessel.

"The girl the professor created looks somewhat familiar..."

The witch chuckled.

Rod didn't intend to hide it.

"She is my student, Shia."

……

As a product of alchemy.

The fusion of soul and body requires a period of adjustment.

Shea didn't wake up until a week later.

Although this alchemical human body incorporates the bloodline of the Empress, making it almost a clone of the Empress.

But it was a new body after all, and at first, Shia couldn't even get out of bed.

He could only lie in bed and receive care from the maid.

After several days of effort.

She gradually gained control over her body.

From initially only being able to stretch out his fingers, he was later able to try to stand up and walk.

On Witch's Day, the day arrived.

Shea has basically adapted to her body and is able to go to the academy party with Rhodes.

After the Siren and the Pumpkin Knight, Rhodes now has another classic white-clad female ghost by his side.

"what……"

Be careful.

Although Shia is now able to walk, she still staggers a little.

Seeing this, Rhodes had no choice but to offer his arm as a support for Shia.

"Teacher, please wait a moment. I'm wearing a long fishtail dress right now, and it's not easy for me to walk."

"This pumpkin head is so big, I... I can't see the road anymore!"

Ange and Luna also came over.

"..."

If it weren't for his past memories, Rod might have actually believed their lies.

Back then, Luna sported this pumpkin head, and Rhodes chased her for eight blocks before finally stopping her on the rooftop.

Anjie clearly also has memories of time loops.

That's blatant lying.

So when the five members of the Golden Generation saw Rhodes, they were just about to go up and say hello.

They stopped abruptly and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Damn it, the professor is surrounded by female ghosts."

"The mermaid is Ange, the pumpkin head should be Luna, who's the other one?"

"I'm so envious! I also want to be surrounded by beautiful girls..."

"But the professor seems quite troubled."

"After all, the professor only has two hands, and there are three female ghosts there..."

Everyone originally wanted to wish Luna and the others a happy holiday, but then they looked at Professor Rhodes, who was caught in a chaotic scene in the distance.

In the end, I decided to leave quietly.

I won't bother them.
