Chapter 96 The Horrifying Truth (3k)

This time, Yvesette did not start at zero frame. Instead, Lin En was well prepared and launched Liar Eater half a second in advance.

While maintaining his dull hypnotic state, Lynn looked at Yvesette, who was sitting by the window, in a very subtle way.

Then he suddenly noticed that there was a crumpled piece of letter lying quietly on the windowsill to her right.

The wax on it was printed with the emblem of a world tree, symbolizing that this was a letter from the royal family.

Could this be the reason why she has been in a low mood recently?

But there was one thing Lynn couldn't figure out.

Clearly, when they were on the street before, this woman promised to tell him the truth, but why did she hypnotize him instantly in the end?

Generally speaking, Ivester would only use this trick when she didn't want him to recall the specific details.

Lynn fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Yvesette's light voice came: "Drink the glass of wine on the table."

He subconsciously looked up and found that there was indeed half a glass of red wine on the desk on the right, reflecting a scarlet color under the moonlight.

Did he feel that he couldn't drink enough and wanted to find a drinking partner? Although he was confused, Lin En still followed her instructions honestly under the state of pretending to be hypnotized.

Soon, he drank the slightly bitter high-quality red wine.

After watching Lin En finish the whole glass of red wine, Yvesette gently withdrew her gaze.

This was a night full of weirdness.

Could it be that there was drugs in the wine, and once the drugs took effect, this woman would push him down on the spot, preparing to launch a last-ditch effort before carrying out the mission?

Lynn was lost in thought.

But after a long while, Ivester didn't speak.

The moonlight shining on her body added a touch of coolness to her temperament.

But in Lin En's opinion, Her Royal Highness the Princess at this moment had lost her usual indifference and majesty, and added a sense of tenderness or tranquility.

"Ferit is right." Finally, Ivester spoke, "To my father, to the royal family, and even to the entire empire, I am nothing more than a 'tool'."

She started without any beginning or end, without saying the cause, just letting her mood speak for itself.

Lynn was stunned.

Because the original work mainly focuses on the male protagonist and a group of female characters around him.

Therefore, in the early and middle stages, during the part of the storyline regarding the battle for the king's election, the third princess Ivester was not given much attention and was at a disadvantage most of the time.

The time when she truly grew into the ultimate villain was in the second half of the War of the Gods chapter.

The book doesn't even mention the past of the character Yvesette.

So Lin En is also feeling his way forward at the moment, and is unable to figure out many things.

Hearing Yvesette's sudden inspiration at this moment, Lin En felt extremely confused.

tool?

Although I don’t know how powerful she is now, it is definitely not lower than the sixth level.

Even though she cannot fight against the gods, in this country, apart from a few major churches, some ancient families with a long history, and a few level 0 seals, there is really no one who can restrict her.

If it weren't for the fight for the throne, even if Ivester defected, she could overthrow a regime anytime and anywhere, except for the five empires.

So, Lynn was very confused.

With such great power, why is it still used as a tool?

However, Yvesette had no idea what he was thinking at the moment.

She looked at the moon outside the window and said to herself, "As an ominous existence abandoned by the gods, I should not have been born into this world."

"Back then, there were many calls from the public to send me to the gallows, but my father still managed to save me despite the huge pressure."

"Although my childhood was full of bullying and discrimination, at least it allowed me to grow up to this day with the dignity of a princess."

"I was really grateful to him for everything he had done for me."

"There were even a few moments when I really believed that there was kindness and love in this world for no reason."

"Until... that day."

As she spoke, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of Ivester's lips, and she raised her head and drank the red wine in the glass.

Perhaps because he was a little tipsy, a few drops of wine flowed down and fell into the deep ravine on his chest.

"I vaguely remember that day was my seventh birthday." Yvesette put down her wine glass, bent her legs, and gently hugged her knees with her hands. "Except for the nuns sent by several major churches to perform routine physical examinations on me, no one attended my birthday dinner."

"At that time, I still had some childishness in me. I would get angry about such things and lose my temper over them."

"Now that I think about it, it was just to gain other people's attention."

"So when the nuns were examining my body, I suddenly felt that the emotions and strength in my body were somewhat out of control. I angrily grabbed the seal they were using, wanting them to stop this behavior that was like measuring goods."

"That is a Level 4 Sealed Artifact. It should have been indestructible to a certain extent."

“But when I came to my senses, I found that the seal had turned into powder and was slowly dissipating in my hand.”

"This action shocked everyone present. Later that night, all the churches in the imperial capital were in uproar because of it."

"But as the instigator of this incident, I got a fever." Yvesette paused for a moment and tucked her hair behind her ears. "The high fever lasted for a whole week, and my consciousness seemed to be submerged in an endless ocean, suffering from the pain of drowning all the time."

"Fortunately, in the end, I made it through."

"The first thing I saw when I woke up was my father, Saint Laurent VI."

"I thought he was worried about my safety, so he stayed by my bed day and night, but I never thought..."

"I never expected that the moment he saw me, a hint of disgust appeared in his eyes, and his voice revealed an unprecedented alienation and stiffness."

"He said to me."

"Yvestre Roland Alexini, the Empire has tolerated your survival in this world for seven full years, so from today on, it is time for you to repay the Empire and fulfill your obligations as a 'tool'."

Having said that, Yvesette suddenly smiled.

"Are you curious about what the so-called 'tool' is? And where does my power come from?"

Of course I'm curious.

At this moment, Lynn's mood was completely immersed in her narration.

"I don't know either." Yvesette murmured, "I only know that since the day I was born, every night when I dream, I dream of a white-haired woman who looks very similar to me."

"Every time we met, the white-haired woman would say something, but it was impossible to hear clearly."

"It's just that when the dream is about to fade away, it will give me some tiny things."

“These things are the source of my strength.”

“So even if there is no faith in this world that can accept me, I can still increase my strength endlessly.”

A hint of red light suddenly appeared on Yviste's fair palm, and then she gently squeezed it away.

White-haired woman?

Hearing her words, Lynn was stunned.

Could it be that the Witch of the End in the future is trying to form some kind of time loop?

But isn't this right?

If we could really allow her in the future to endlessly help the past improve its strength, wouldn't history be easily changed?

Why would he increase the plot deviation? Moreover, Lin En vaguely remembered that the real source of Ivester's power seemed to be related to an ancient existence in the Chaos Era.

So, that white-haired woman is probably not the Witch of the End.

However, Ivester did not stop because of his thoughts, and continued to speak: "As my strength increases, I also gradually begin to master some powerful abilities."

"I named two of these abilities [Devouring] and [Annihilation]."

“And this was the beginning of me becoming a ‘tool’.”

"As you can imagine, the incident on my seventh birthday was actually a demonstration of these two abilities."

"Since each sealed object has different characteristics and laws, when containing them, we often need to take into account various negative effects and formulate different countermeasures."

"Low-level sealed objects have relatively simple containment methods."

"But as the sequence increases, the containment conditions of some Level 2, Level 1, and even the legendary Level 0 Sealed Objects can even be described as harsh."

"If there is any mistake, it will cause an extremely terrible chain reaction and lead to an unstoppable disaster."

"For those uncontrollable sealed objects that do more harm than good, the first principle of not only the Saint Laurent Empire but all countries is to destroy them."

"But the higher the sequence of the seal, the stronger its indestructibility and laws. It is definitely not something that can be shaken by human power."

"So, I, who possess the power of [devour] and [annihilation], am the best practitioner of this principle."

Yvesette was clearly smiling, but the words that came out of her mouth made people feel cold.

Could it be that... An extremely depressing guess came to my mind.

The next second, the words from Iviste's mouth confirmed his guess.

"Use the ability of Devour to kill the consciousness of the Sealed Object, integrate its characteristics and laws into the body, and then use the power of Annihilation to decompose it bit by bit." Iviste said calmly, "This is my duty as a 'tool'."

?! Instantly, a creepy feeling spread throughout my body.

Lynn's spirit was shaky and he could break out of the Liar Eater state at any time, as if he had suffered an unprecedented shock.

Is this really the case? He stared at Yvesette by the window, feeling mixed emotions.

Crucial plot, please read it instead of keeping the book!!!
