Starting with the defeated female knight

"do not know."

Because I truly love you all.

His body froze, even his feet stopped moving.

As expected, the tentacles gently lifted from her arms, slowly wrapped around her body, and whispered in her ear.

Unrestrained desires are a terrible thing.

While fleeting pleasure may bring happiness, emptiness will inevitably follow.

The constant pursuit of pleasure, the constant sinking into depravity and loss, the constant seeking of thrills—the ultimate consequences may be even more terrifying than death.

I know you might not even mind this kind of thing.

But I mind.

I don't want to drag you all into the abyss just because I'm pursuing my own happiness.

And that's not just a bad thing for you, it's a terrible thing for me too.

If I were to truly drag you all down into the abyss, then in a sense, it would also be a sign of my own self-collapse.

At that time, not only you, but I too will likely fall into the abyss.

What you've done is truly important, my Eve.

It not only makes me feel comfortable, but in a sense, it can even be considered my mental anchor.

I didn't tell you these things before because I thought it was too early.

But you've grown so fast, even the course itself has developed far beyond my expectations.

Although it does sound terrible, this is a really heavy burden, and I was considering whether or not to put it on your shoulders.

But now...

A tentacle gently brushed across her face.

I think you understand my decision now.

silence.

The sudden remark left Eve completely stunned, her mind a jumbled mess.

"Well, in that case, Miss Edith might..."

She's the worst one.

[You expect some weakling who's easily swayed... oh, and seems to be unconscious by now, to handle this kind of thing?]

I know you've always lacked confidence, but believe me, you're terrible at this...

I mean, in your area of ​​expertise, you are indeed the most authoritative figure within the cathedral.

The tentacle touched her head.

I believe in you.

silence.

After a long while, a muffled sound rang out.

"So, what do you need me to do? If not, you can cancel my course too..."

The tentacle didn't answer; it just watched her silently.

for a long time.

"I see."

Although she was still a little nervous and confused, she raised her head and looked at the tentacles in front of her.

I will continue my courses.

"At the same time, we will also try to study and guide everyone on how to serve you more correctly."

"I will never betray your trust."

a long time.

The tentacle nodded slightly.

Good child

Eve breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, the soft ground that had been stable suddenly burst open, lifting her and her chair into the air.

"......grown ups?"

Tonight is a rare time to relax.

The tentacles slowly wrapped around the little bride's body, patted her head, and revealed a gentle smile.

[And you've been so well-behaved and good, it's hard not to want to reward you.]

Eve blinked, and after realizing something, a rare blush appeared on her face.

"You mean..."

Okay, continue your lesson.

As for the remaining extra...

The tentacle blinked.

Consider this a reward for being a good child.

"Oh, my lord..."

Then, once again, Yves became the bride she had longed for.

The pure white wedding dress trailed all the way to the ground, giving it an eerie, holy, and beautiful feel.

As for the bride herself, she looked completely satisfied and happy, and her gaze towards the touch became increasingly affectionate.

And at the same time, different but similar situations occurred one after another in various parts of the sacred church.

They might offer praise, comfort, or heart-to-heart talks.

It's not just about physical comfort; more importantly, it's about soothing and comforting their souls.

【I love you all】

So please.

Please take good care of yourself, okay?

"......Um."

The ceremony begins.

Frequency tuning complete.

The field of pleasure begins to resonate.

Not only tentacles, but also a large amount of cognitive dew condensation and trembling.

Then, at the moment everything erupted.

An outpouring of emotion.

Cognitive convergence.

Bring everything together in one place.

Finally, after everything calmed down.

After dragging the well-behaved children back to their room and soothing them to sleep,

The tentacles shifted their attention, casting their gaze towards a certain spot in the center of the church.

There, a tentacle that looked no different from the others, except that its skin was slightly purplish-red, lay quietly.

After focusing its attention, it slowly stood up.

Then, it emitted a terrifying yet peaceful fluctuation of power.

The tentacle-wielding maniac is complete.

And tonight, the cathedral, and indeed the entire city of Dawn.

You can finally have a good dream.

P.S.: I'll throw in 7000 to test the waters first, then go grab a bite to eat. I'll have more later.

Volume 1: Chapter 119: He is coming back

The tentacle-induced madness machine is complete.

The results were just as expected.

When in a field of pleasurable cognition, one can absorb pleasurable emotions, convert them into energy, store them, and activate them when needed.

Moreover, due to Green's subsequent research and guidance, although the discovery process was bizarre, it was still bizarre in essence.

Fortunately, through Green's efforts and restraint, this thing did not ultimately head in an irreversible direction.

Instead, after appropriate constraints and cognitive reversals, it not only retains the original ability to absorb pleasurable cognition, but also improves the efficiency of absorbing and utilizing various positive emotions.

Furthermore, compared to the initial version, there has been a significant improvement, several times or even dozens of times, in terms of conversion efficiency and speed, energy storage capacity, and other aspects.

Moreover, it's not just used as a generator.

In fact, based on the way it stores and releases energy, this thing is more like a defensive tower in some games than a generator.

After all, it can absorb and release energy. When it absorbs, it goes without saying that when it releases, it concentrates the energy, which is equivalent to radiation.

But neither generators nor defensive towers are actually the main function of this thing.

Because it's difficult to mass-produce, unless the cathedral completely lets loose and uses the nuns as expendable resources, the production of one per month will be about the maximum.

This output naturally cannot keep up with the needs of industrialization.

As for energy levels...

To be honest, this thing has a fairly high energy level, but its efficiency in converting it into physical energy is not high.

For example, when used as a defensive tower, even if it puts in its best effort and charges up for a long time, it can only penetrate a small layer of steel plate.

It sounds powerful enough, but in a world where extraordinary athletes are everywhere, whether it can break through the defenses of those high-ranking nobles is another matter entirely.

The problem is that, as a product entirely based on cognitive cohesion, this thing wasn't originally designed to deal physical damage.

Instead, it can directly cause cognitive damage.

Take, for example, the Pleasure Ray I just mentioned, although its physical damage is pitifully low.

But let alone hitting a person directly, even after that ray hits the steel plate.

A wave of jubilation immediately swept through the surrounding area.

Anyone who enters that range will inexplicably experience a sense of joy and pleasure, even if they try hard to recall sad things.

And this is just a little dust left after the shooting.

If this thing hits a being with cognitive abilities head-on, then...

Even just thinking about that possible scenario made Green feel a bit of a stretch.

But this is still not the biggest function of this thing.

Although the turret skill is already quite abstract and powerful, it seems insignificant compared to its other function, the abstract ray attack.

Or to put it more directly.

Cognitive field stabilizer.

It does not concentrate its power, but rather radiates it outwards slowly, indiscriminately, and steadily.
