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

Rhodes gazed at the magic mirror before him.

Over the long cycle of time, his alchemy reached almost the highest level in human history.

Human transmutation was his second major achievement in the field of alchemy.

As for the first major achievement, it is the magic mirror right in front of us.

The magic mirror is just an ordinary mirror.

It was through countless cycles of Rhodes's application of soul-forging techniques that it became the Soul Mirror.

The Empress's soul was split because she accidentally triggered the soul spell left by Rhodes.

This can be considered an accident.

But it was precisely this unexpected event that enabled Rhodes to fulfill the Queen's inner desire.

Of course, Rhodes was here for another reason.

He reached out and touched the magic mirror, activating the soul spell.

Followed by.

The smooth mirror surface suddenly rippled.

Rhodes' consciousness instantly passed through the mirror and entered another dimension.

……

This is the interior of Requiem.

Countless cyclical worlds are created from the déjà vu left by the souls of the world.

The nameless fog repeatedly engulfs the world.

It rolled back again and again.

He is forever imprisoned in this vicious cycle.

Another agent is trapped in endless collapse, never to be reborn.

Besides them, there is actually another person trapped in this world that can never reach the real world.

She sat alone on a bench under the tree.

Gazing at the vast expanse of white snow, I silently endured the bitterness and loneliness in my heart.

"I'm all alone now..."

She reached out and caught the snowflakes falling from the sky.

This is the retribution she deserves, the price she has to pay for the sins she committed.

That being said...

This feeling of loneliness and helplessness was truly agonizing for her.

They can't even die if they want to; they must live in this prison for eternity.

"Someone... can save me..."

She murmured to herself.

Suddenly.

A strange noise came from nearby.

She turned her head and saw a figure sitting in the seat next to her.

The girl stared at him blankly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"teacher……"

"It must be very painful to bear it all alone in silence."

Rhodes said to the girl.

Why did you come here?

Anjie's voice choked with emotion, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She had already resigned herself to her tragic fate in despair.

I never expected to see my teacher again.

Like a candlelight, it illuminated her dark and desolate heart.

"I've said it before, you are my disciple. When a disciple causes trouble, you should share the responsibility with her."

"But this is just a memory left over from the past; I have already stepped into the future..."

"I will not abandon my disciples, not even you from the past."

Rod interrupted Ange abruptly.

He knew, of course, that the world inside Requiem was a dead loop lingering in the past.

Because Ange's world regression is the same source of omniscience and omnivision.

Therefore, she was also imprisoned here by the Requiem in the past.

The timeline has already extended forward into the future.

Rod came here specifically because he realized this.

How could he bear to let his disciple fall into eternal loneliness?

"I'm here to fulfill my initial and final promise."

Rod took Ange's cold hand in his own.

A gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"I will stay with you forever, at the ends of this world."

"teacher……"

Feeling the warmth of the teacher's palm, tears welled up in my eyes and kept sliding down my cheeks.

Ange could no longer control her emotions and threw herself into Rod's arms.

He burst into tears.

"Teacher...Teacher...Waaah...I really miss you so much..."

"Don't cry, we have a long time ahead of us."

Rod hugged Ange and gently stroked the girl's hair.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

to the end.

He was still imprisoned by Anjie.

Until forever.

[Goal achieved!]

You've come to the ends of the earth, to stay with Ange forever.

[The perception of taking responsibility for one's past actions has significantly improved.]

The rating for surviving has significantly improved.

……

Rhodes withdrew his hand from the magic mirror.

In this way, all the goals will be achieved, and Anjie will no longer be lonely.

Thinking of this, a relieved smile appeared on Rod's lips.

Finally, remove the Soul Orb.

Completely sever the possibility of omniscience and omnivision returning.

Back on the terrace.

Rhodes then noticed that the group seemed to be arguing about something.

Ange was the first to spot Luo De, and a sickly blush immediately appeared on her face.

Luna saw Rod and immediately rushed over.

She stopped abruptly in front of Rod, then fidgeted with her fingers shyly, her gaze shifting uncertainly.

After a long internal struggle, Luna finally blushed and mustered the courage to call out.

"Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa! Me! Me! Let's do it too!"

"???"

Rod looked completely bewildered.

What are you doing?

Looking at Luna again, she had already closed her eyes and pouted.

"...Don't be silly."

Rod tapped Luna on the head.

"what……"

Luna cried out in pain, rubbing her head with a pained expression.

Rod walked past Luna toward the others, and Ange quickly stepped forward and hugged Rod tightly.

"Teacher...teacher..."

She tilted her head back, a sweet smile on her face, her voice filled with a deep and intense longing.

"Teacher, thank you for always being by my side... I think I can never live without you..."

"..."

Is this influenced by past memories?

Rhodes seemed to be deep in thought.

But soon, he lost interest in thinking about such things.

The Empress was staring at him with an unfriendly expression, while the witch looked on with amusement.

Seeing this, Rod quickly pulled Ange away.

Then he got straight to the point and asked.

"What were you doing here just now?"

"No, we were just discussing who the professor likes more and who he's closest to."

The witch explained with a grin.

After hearing the witch's story, Rhodes couldn't hold back any longer.

Is this a continuation of the battle for the position of the main wife?

Rod sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

Fortunately, most of the women were just joking and didn't take it too seriously, giving Rhodes a five-choice, potentially disastrous question.

Or.

They had spent some time together and had already reached a certain consensus.

Especially with the departure of the omniscient and omniscient, and influenced by Rhodes, the memories in the time loop are gradually reviving.

They already knew that Rhodes was a man of action and would never abandon anyone.

And they all accepted this fact.

After the fireworks display ended, everyone discussed what to do next.

"With the Winter Snow Festival over, the teacher is exhausted, both physically and mentally. It's time for her to return to the manor to rest."

According to Ange, Rhodes was already exhausted from saving the world.

Naturally, everyone went back to their own homes and their own mothers.

Luna and the witch had no objections.

To be fair, apart from the Empress, everyone else is now living in Rhodes' house, which is equivalent to leaving the Empress alone in the palace.

The Queen, however, wanted Rhodes to stay in the palace.

Everyone else, get out.

"I have something to discuss with Professor Rhodes that will last all night. Everyone else, except for the other me, may leave."

"You should know perfectly well how much hardship your teacher has endured for this New Year, yet you still want to force them to stay overnight?"

"It's ridiculous. If the professor wanted to rest, he could have just slept here and been spared from your disturbance."

"Wow, Her Majesty the Queen is so domineering, even now she's still thinking about monopolizing the professor."

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're an empress. If you want to have my teacher all to yourself, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

"All I need is to stay by the professor's side..."

The women argued for a long time before Rod finally spoke up, ending the argument.

"Then let's stay overnight at the palace together."

As Rhodes spoke, he looked at the Empress.

When the Queen met Rhodes' gaze, she reluctantly agreed.

And so the matter was settled amicably.

……

the next day.

Rhodes slowly opened his eyes.

The scene before him felt both familiar and strange.

It felt very familiar.

Ok.

What comes into view is the dome of the Empress's bedroom.

Rod secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it wasn't in the basement.

If time looped again, he would really explode on the spot.

Rod shook his hangover head and was about to get up when he realized he was being crushed by a heavy object.

Look down.

The Empress was fast asleep, nestled against his chest.

Look at both sides again.

Ange and Luna sat on either side of him, resting their heads on his arms, breathing softly.

Keep reading.

The witch and Shia were fast asleep, nestled close to Rhodes' waist.

Everyone was wearing thin nightgowns, which could not conceal their alluring figures.

Looking at this scene that sparks the imagination.

Rhodes looked completely bewildered.

Holy crap.

What's going on?
