Chapter 201: Destined Tragedy
As Miss Witch's cold words slowly fell, Lin En stood there in a daze.
Dead?
He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the quiet girl in the cocoon of light.
Until now, there was still a gentle smile on her face, as if she was in a beautiful dream from which she would never wake up.
An extremely unreal feeling suddenly came over me.
It was clear that a few minutes ago, the girl woke up from the same bed as him and was talking to him from a distance.
And logically speaking, this cocoon of light should not appear in the Pantheon.
The only explanation is that his recent series of actions that disrupted Tia's fate have led to drastic changes in the future.
But as the heroine of the original novel, with the protection of the world's will, is it really that easy for her to die? Lin En expressed doubts.
So he took a deep breath, suppressed the emotion that was vaguely emerging in his heart and said, "Can you tell me how she died?"
Miss Witch looked at him calmly: "Are you curious about her?"
A fatal question.
Tia is a woman, and a very beautiful one.
No matter what, Miss Witch and Ivester are still the same person after all, and have not changed much in essence.
If we ignore the strong possessiveness in her bones, which is the same as Yvesette's, because of her cold and noble appearance, then Chunchun is courting death.
Once she said "yes", she was afraid that Tia's body would be crushed to ashes.
In fact, for Lin En, this issue should not be a problem that he hesitated about at all.
After all, the relationship between him and Tia was that of exploiter and exploited from the beginning to the end.
However, at this moment, the inexplicable feeling of depression in my heart is not false.
Perhaps, when he thought he had used the other party's guilt to achieve his goal, he was also unknowingly affected by similar emotions.
After all, if it weren't for his existence, Tia should have followed the trajectory of the original world line, become a couple with Xia, and live a carefree life - provided that she could regard the second-generation Bright Moon Goddess as the same person as her.
But now, not only is her future self imprisoned in the Pantheon, she is also dying quietly for unknown reasons.
This is definitely not the ending a heroine deserves.
Lin En shook his head. "'Curious' is not the right word. I'm just a little confused as to why the future Bright Moon Goddess died so casually. Is there a trick?"
He is lying.
As a woman, her sixth sense allowed her to tell at a glance that what Lin En said at the moment was not true.
However, the witch lady just looked at him deeply, and finally chose not to expose him: "The term "future Bright Moon Goddess" is not rigorous."
"She, Tia Euhstie, is strictly speaking just a part of the Moon Goddess."
“A mistake that was born in the container and should not have existed.”
Lynn nodded.
Although it was described very clearly in the original book, in his opinion, the so-called fusion was more like devouring and occupying.
After the Moonlight Codex, the original Tia disappeared forever, and was replaced by an impostor named Beatrice.
However, due to her noble goddess character and the fact that Tia's body has not changed, this minor mental flaw has been ignored by readers.
Seeing that Lin En understood what she meant, the witch lady continued softly, "According to the original trajectory of events, Tia's spirit was too weak at that time, so she was annihilated by Beatrice without any resistance and assimilated into her part."
"But because of the things you did in the past that disrupted her destiny, her future has also changed."
"What changes?"
Lynn asked subconsciously.
The witch lady said calmly: "For unknown reasons, Tia Euhesti was not assimilated and swallowed by the Bright Moon Goddess during the Moonlight Sacred Ceremony."
"She seemed to have awakened a strong sense of resistance. Even Beatrice was helpless against her. As a result, she played a role similar to the second personality for many years to come, which had a great impact on the goddess."
"The most notable point is that she, who was supposed to be the hero Xia's partner, did not build a close relationship with him as planned in the original world line."
How is that possible?
If the world is a book, then every character in the book has his or her inevitable fate.
Then Tia's destiny is to become a member of the harem of the hero Xia.
This is her greatest value and reason for existence as a female character in the book.
Therefore, even though Lin En has been trying to change the trajectory of her destiny during this period, he could sense from the beginning to the end that the invisible hand of the world's will was constantly correcting the impact he caused.
Even if it cannot be eliminated now, there will always be a chance to do it in the next 100,000 years.
After all, Lynn does not exist in the future, only in the present.
But Ketia rejected all of this.
She gave up her duty as the heroine, which was tantamount to going against the will of the world.
But from ancient times to the present, no one who goes against the will of this world has ever had a good ending.
No wonder the world's will no longer favors her.
Noticing Lin En's silence, the witch continued to speak in a cruel voice: "Because Beatrice and she have been in the same container for too long, the two consciousnesses have actually begun to merge, which has caused Beatrice to feel unprecedented panic."
"Eventually, she asks future Thea for help to rip herself out of this body."
"Perhaps out of venting her anger, Beatrice did not let her off easily, but tortured her for tens of thousands of years herself, until Tia Euhesti's consciousness completely dissipated, and then she was sealed in the Pantheon."

This is the saddest portrayal of Tia's long yet short life.
From the beginning to the end, she seemed unable to escape the fate of being a "mistake", being played around by Beatrice, and finally ending up in tragedy.
But is all this really a tragedy for her? Looking at the smile on the girl's lips in the light cocoon, Lin En suddenly became a little skeptical.
Perhaps given her personality, she never truly hated anyone until the very end.
"Let's not talk about these irrelevant things." The witch lady waved her hand gently and put away the light cocoon. "You seem to have maxed out the second-order limit of divine factors. I will help you strengthen them while I am here."
"Also, quickly complete the last step of the advancement trial. After you reach the third level, I will grant you a new ability to make up for your weakness in combat."
As she spoke, a strong red light suddenly burst out from her body.
Lin En seemed a little stunned: "The last step?"
Hearing this, a trace of coldness flashed across Miss Witch's eyes, and she stopped what she was doing with a bad look on her face: "You didn't forget the task I assigned to you at the beginning, did you?"
".I haven't forgotten."
Lynn came back to his senses and shook his head.
The original mission was to make Tia open her heart to him in the shortest possible time, and then use the Moment of Fall to transform her into a puppet.
At that time, Beatrice, who descended into this container, would also be affected by the filthy curse and become a slave who obeyed his orders.
Such a huge plot deviation is enough to break the chains of order in Miss Witch's hands.
The most important point is that this behavior satisfied her desire for revenge against Xia and others.
This was something that was planned from the beginning.
The only thing he couldn't refuse was Miss Witch's order.
As if she noticed that the believer was feeling a little depressed at the moment, unexpectedly, the witch lady did not reveal Iviste's unreasonable side.
Although she was a little angry in her heart, she looked very calm: "In fact, whether you do it or not, the outcome will not change."
"Because... this is a tragedy that is destined to happen."
A tragedy destined by fate? If you think about it carefully, it seems to be true.
If he did nothing after returning to reality, it would lead to the first bad ending, which is the tragedy of having Beatrice strip away his consciousness and tortured him for tens of thousands of years.
Once the Moment of Fall is used, in the second bad ending, Tia will become a walking corpse, or even just a pitiful victim in the battle between the two goddesses, and no one will care.
Perhaps her fate was destined from the moment they met.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be entirely correct.
Let's take a step back.
Even if they had no contact with each other from the beginning, according to the original plot, Tia would still have her consciousness annihilated by Beatrice in the Moonlight Book.
In other words, there is no option that can allow her to reach a perfect ending.
Lynn took a deep breath and subconsciously clenched his fists.
"I see."
