"Then I'll look forward to your performance. It's okay if you fail."
Her tone was relaxed, just like a real mother telling her child to be careful when going out.
The somewhat lazy voice faded from my mind, just as it had never sought my opinion when it arrived.
"…………"
Card, card, card...
In the dimly lit room, a pendulum clock decorated with pale demon skeletons swung back and forth.
Rising from the enormous bed, Karan looked coldly at herself in the full-length mirror.
"Weak".
Unlike usual, a faint fear still lingered in her eyes.
Because of the fear and confusion of witnessing some ancient being, the other party holds the power to decide one's life and death.
I can't tell a lie.
Everything about me has been seen through; my words have been anticipated the moment they left my lips, or even before.
No, the other party generously allowed him to speak.
But the other party wasn't so merciful, issuing a warning in lighthearted terms.
I allow you to have rebellious thoughts, but when you act on them, you must also be prepared for the consequences.
"She... seems to be somewhat different from those gods?"
Compared to the descriptions in classical texts, this sage seems more unrestrained, displaying both divinity and humanity.
Although he had just woken up, he was very calm.
Karan knew where this composure came from...
powerful.
For someone like that, there seems to be nothing in this world that could threaten her.
The Holy Word's Secret Place is the common territory of the saints, and it is inspected periodically to prevent human infiltration.
And yet, despite such frequent testing, it wasn't discovered by any saint. What does that mean?
This means... at least until other gods are resurrected, she will not be threatened.
Faced with the mysterious being that had revived, Karan deeply understood how weak he was, unable even to resist.
In reality, her mother's power and cruelty also make her feel powerless, and she still cannot resist them.
He spoke casually, as if he had just assigned himself a task, and it didn't seem like it would matter if he didn't complete it.
But the truth is incredibly cruel.
Any poor child who believed the Flame Demon Queen's disguise received the punishment of naivety.
Torn apart, burned, crushed...
Although their methods differed, they ultimately faced the same outcome.
die.
Was that just a casual request?
No, that was a death sentence.
And every time there is such a mission, his brothers and sisters are always the most excited.
No matter what underhanded or dirty tricks they resort to at this time, the Flame Demon Queen will not care.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that she never restricted the infighting among her "offspring," and even enjoyed it immensely.
She only cares about the results. No matter how much she had pampered a child before, if the child failed, she would definitely take matters into her own hands.
There was never the slightest hesitation.
Karan didn't want to face that kind of ending, so she wouldn't believe those "sweet" words.
"I don't want to die yet."
After putting away the token that allowed him to enter the sacred space, Kalan stood in front of the mirror, staring intently at it.
"This is just too pitiful."
He took one last deep look at his woman's reflection in the mirror, and the figure in the mirror began to change, becoming taller and stronger.
Even though it was just a disguise, she still felt at ease after seeing this appearance.
Having composed himself, Karan concealed the emotions in his eyes and turned to walk away.
As she passed the weapons rack, she didn't hesitate to take out the most suitable weapon.
The decapitation sword!
...
...
"You all say..."
Reclining in the chair in a posture similar to Ge You's slouch, Ning Feng no longer exuded an air of profound mystery; he looked more like a miserable young man worn down by life and work.
Ning Feng looked up at the dome of the sanctuary, which might one day be adorned with murals, and said as if to himself:
When will the gods finally revive?
"We can't just keep waiting, can we?"
When is the most agonizing time?
It's when you're waiting for the second shoe to drop.
Well, it's not that we intentionally didn't tell you this~
A voice carrying a faint laugh approached. The black cat leaped off the back of the chair, glanced triumphantly at the angel who had stopped in front of the seat, and then curled up into a ball on Ning Feng's stomach.
Their condition is hard to explain... Simply put, they need a trigger.
Its tail drooped idly onto Ning Feng's lower abdomen, while it kept smiling and provocatively teasing the angel, explaining:
[It could be tomorrow, it could be next month, or it could even be the next instant; the moment that opportunity arrives, they will instantly awaken from their current state.]
And now... oh!
The spoiled black cat was suspended by its belly by invisible chains, its limbs flailing limply in the air.
Let me go!
I'm not actually a cat!
The angel glanced coldly at the demon who persisted in acting cute even in this situation, and then continued speaking:
"And one thing is certain: they are indeed in the process of awakening..."
Lowering her eyes, she met Ning Feng's gaze and said softly:
"At that time, it was really close."
"Don't let your guard down."
Her expression was somewhat serious, but Ning Feng smiled and responded easily:
"Okay, I understand."
"Anyway, you'll always be by my side, and you'll tell me when the time comes, right?"
As Cecilia looked at his untroubled smile, the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up slightly...
"Um."
winter.
Before that faint smile could expand, Ning Feng's vision was enveloped by soft darkness.
!
!
It's time for you to go!
Before Ning Feng could have a chance to think about what was blocking his eyes and robbing him of his light, his consciousness was expelled from the sanctuary.
"…………"
The smile that was about to appear froze on her lips, and the angel's eyes sharpened as she looked...
Watching the demon remain seated, bound hand and foot by chains, hanging from the spot where Ning Feng had just disappeared.
【I'm just concerned about him!】
With a smug grin on her face, the bound demon girl swung around nonchalantly.
Splash...
【real! 】
The angel was speechless, only…
Clang!
【Oh dear, why are you drawing your sword?】
Wait! Don't get really angry!
Seeing the increasingly dazzling lightsaber in the angel's hand, the demon blinked and coughed:
[Cough cough...]
[Next time! I won't cause trouble next time, okay?]
real!
I promise!
I guarantee Ning Feng's character~
