After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

That's why she was so vicious to me when I was locked in the aquarium.

That tone of wanting to kill himself wasn't feigned; it was genuine.

I just don't know why I didn't die—actually, even if I were burned by hydrochloric acid, I wouldn't die, it would just be more painful.

……

……

(What should I do? At this moment, I guess I really have no right to say anything, right? After all, I am also...)

……

Lonnie sighed. That's just how history is. For example, when dynasties changed, surrendering early actually made it easier to reduce the amount of war on the land.

For ordinary people, they don't actually pledge allegiance to any particular regime; what matters most is that everyone's future is happy.

Lonnie thought the same way.

If Castor had acted out of selfish desires or even just to pursue power, she would not have chosen to forgive him along with Elusia.

However, Castor's goal, from beginning to end, has always been to save the world.

In fact, that guy also suffered a considerable amount of pain, and if we put aside their positions, Lonnie actually admired him quite a bit.

Because if this world is multipolar, and some people can bear the easy and pleasant bitterness of life, then others must bear the destructive power of painful tempering.

This is the fate the world has given you; you have no choice in it.

So in a way, Castor is the opposite of herself, and if Lonnie's fate were more unfortunate, she might have become like Castor.

But all these ideas...

It's all your own choice.

You have the freedom to choose, and you can't force others to be like you. In fact, Ryan... probably understands all of this too, right?

Because I understand this, I cannot give up.

because,

If even she has given up on revenge, then who in this world would choose revenge?

She probably represents the final, vengeful flames from the Flame Abyss.

Although small...

However, it will never be extinguished.

……

…………

(Hero, if you are truly prepared to transcend all boundaries, then join Jessica in killing me!)

(!)

(I will not fall, nor will I yield.)

…………

……

With just a glance, Lonnies sensed that emotion in Ryansie's eyes.

So, should I defeat her?

Should I represent the hero who saves the world to prove my will and beliefs?

We can't let Elusia do it, so...

……

Although she was still somewhat hesitant, Lonnies was already ready to set off as soon as she thought of Elusia.

However, she didn't expect...

Elusia actually rushed forward ahead of her!

The girl was so fast that no one could react in time... Ryancie wanted to defend herself, but she was stunned the moment she looked directly into Elusia's eyes.

because……

That was the real flame.

It is not a flame confined to a moment, but a raging fire that has never been extinguished and has always carried an indomitable will!

And then...

Blah blah blah!

Elusia slapped Ryansie across the face.

This door not only stunned the girls, but also Ryansie.

She stared at Elusia in disbelief, seemingly unable to comprehend why the princess of the Snow Kingdom would do such a thing—though not very lethal, it was extremely humiliating.

Seeing this, Lonnie quickly stepped forward and said:

"Elcia, um..."

"Hmph, Lonnies, don't plead for this guy. This princess is going to teach a lesson to someone who can't even recognize himself!"

"!"

"Ryansie, if you were truly after revenge, fine. I would grant your wish, defeat you myself, and then copy you into a coffin... But you're just unable to accept your own cowardice! Do you think that will stop Lornish and me from moving forward? Don't be naive!!!!"

Elusia used all her strength and spoke with a hoarse voice!

Chapter 19 War of the Gods

After Elusia finished speaking, the entire space seemed to freeze.

Everyone stared in astonishment at Elusia, while the black-haired girl stepped forward, her gaze fixed intently on Ryansie:

"Ryansie, I know you regret it. You regret leaving the capital alone and not fighting alongside your sisters who risked their lives for you!"

"!"

"But I feel the same way as you. I also felt regret in the past, and even thought that it would be better if I had died in the Snow Kingdom. That way I wouldn't have to live in self-blame for loss and helplessness, but could have rested peacefully."

"what……"

"But that's not the right path... because the moment you achieve your revenge, you won't gain any satisfaction or sense of accomplishment. Your life will become a void; you'll have nothing to protect and no future to safeguard. Then you'll realize that everything you did was in vain!"

"Princess, Your Highness..."

Ryan was completely stunned. Without realizing it, she had already knelt on the ground, her mouth open, but she had long since lost the ability to speak.

Elusia also let out a long sigh.

"Fortunately, your actions haven't led to any unforgivable consequences. You didn't kill that foolish hero, otherwise... Hmph, you killed my pet, I'd fight you to the death."

……

She was initially quite serious, but upon hearing the term "pet," Lonnie blushed and said:

"A... Elusia. Actually, Miss Ryanci didn't mean that much harm, after all, I wasn't hurt."

"Hmph, of course. What makes me even angrier is that Ryancie clearly hates the Demon Lord of Tricks so much, but she doesn't even know that she's being used by him."

"W-what...I...I was used by the Demon Lord of Tricks?"

"Of course, Sili'ai, you've been watching this side, haven't you? Stop hiding and come out now!"

……

Elusia stomped her foot angrily, and as if in response to her call, a little black-haired girl appeared.

"Haha, as expected of my familiar, Elcia, you saw through my trick. It seems that when I step down, it would be quite good to let you succeed me in this position."

"Don't give me that nonsense. I'm not one of your followers! You're the one who bewitched Ryansie and made her seek revenge against us, aren't you? And you secretly used your power to replace the hydrochloric acid Ryansie prepared with **?"

“That’s right. After all, I can’t really let the hero die, and this way you can have a more exciting time.”

……

……

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of Sili'ai, Lonnies instantly understood everything.

No wonder Su Ling, Cecilu, and the other companions were only attacked but not injured. It turns out that all of this was a prank by the Demon Lord of Tricks.

And its purpose was actually

"You...you are the Demon Lord of Tricks? You...you used me?"

Ryansie stared in astonishment, but then, as if she had remembered something, she rushed towards Sili'ai, trying to take her down with her!

but……

"Alright, alright, stop fighting! Honestly, Sili'ai, didn't you say you were going to do something good? You've made it so complicated, it doesn't seem like a good thing at all."

Just as Ryanci was about to "hit" the Demon Lord of Tricks, another little girl suddenly appeared.

She had beautiful golden hair, and although it was nighttime, the moment she appeared, the entire exhibition hall seemed to be bathed in light, instantly becoming dazzling.

Moreover, this light had no blind spots; the girls didn't even leave a shadow—the entire side hall seemed to be immersed in the embrace of the light.

And this little loli is, of course, the authentic Sun Loli Goddess Alice.

She immediately grabbed the hem of Sili's dress from the back and said to everyone:

"Yes, everyone, I'm really sorry! Because Sili said she wanted to give Ryan a chance to integrate into the group, I let her misbehave a little."

"Integrating into the group...?"

"Yes, because I know that hatred isn't so easy to erase. So it's better to vent it directly than to keep it inside... But I didn't expect that Sili Ai would go so far!"

"Hey, I don't think what I did was excessive at all!"

"Of course it's excessive. This has gone beyond the realm of jokes. Sili'ai, how do you plan to resolve this?"

"How do we end this? Ugh... Never mind, let's just leave it at that."
