Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

“When the world doesn’t allow someone who wants to live to live, that person can only drag the world down with them. You don’t think I staged every death myself, do you?” Elise was smiling, but her smile was devoid of any warmth.

"Do you know what? Even if I hide at the ends of the earth, someone will still happen to appear there, happen to discover my existence, and happen to find a reason to kill me."

Elise took a deep breath, and her initial anger quickly vanished, replaced by an elegant demeanor: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now."

As Elise finished speaking, the power of order that had enveloped the room disappeared.

Elira was quite surprised, seemingly not expecting the quiz game to end so abruptly.

"I already know your biggest secret, and I believe you don't want others to know it either, right?"

"Isn't Miss Elise's secret also in my hands?" Elaira was referring to the secret of the reborn.

Although Elise didn't care, she still followed up on Elira's words, saying, "Yes, we both have secrets in each other's hands. Don't you think this is a good start?"

"What begins?"

"The beginning of our story."

Elira instinctively wanted to avoid contact with Iris, but she quickly realized that they had already shared their deepest secrets, and it seemed that no matter how much she tried to avoid it, it was impossible to avoid it.

"And since you know that my death is the beginning of the world's demise, didn't you ever think about protecting me?"

"Of course I've thought about it, but my abilities are limited."

"If I'm not mistaken, you should gain some kind of power-up each time you're reborn, right?"

"How did you know?"

Because the protagonist chosen by the player in the game does indeed have such bonuses, each time a new game is started, some of the bonuses obtained in the previous playthrough will be received, such as talents or special abilities. Of course, you can also directly use the attributes obtained from completing the game to start the "enjoyable" mode.

Elise was just saying it casually, but it turned out to be just as she guessed. No wonder she's the protagonist.

"Would you believe me if I said I was just guessing?"

Without the constraints of the power of order, Elira clearly did not believe Iris's explanation.

Just as Elise said, she can inherit a part of her talent from the previous life with each rebirth. Now that she has been reborn hundreds of times, her talent is indeed terrifyingly strong.

"I'm so envious. If I had your abilities, I'd probably be invincible."

"It can't be that exaggerated, right?"

Elise smiled but didn't explain. She simply said, "The honesty game is over now. If Miss Elera wants to leave, I won't stop her."

"I hadn't come here before to avoid contact with you, but now... it doesn't matter anymore."

"That's perfect. Let's continue our conversation and talk about what happened after I died."

Volume 1: Chapter 264 My Little Maid is Amazing

What happened after you died?

Elira sat down in the chair. Now that the power of order was no longer binding her, and her relationship with the World Destroyer had eased due to their respective secrets, she no longer needed to be as tense as before.

"After you die, what will happen when the evil god runs rampant? Isn't it obvious? But even in such a desperate situation, there are still people who can stand up and fight against the evil god."

"At that time, I even thought that there was still hope in that world, but unfortunately, the evil god did not give those people a chance to grow at all, and crushed everything in its infancy."

“That’s not what I want to hear. What I want to know is why you looked so terrified when you saw my maid.”

Previously, Elise didn't know why, but now that she knew Elira was a reborn person, she seemed to understand. She guessed that her little maid had done something horrifying after she died.

As for the specifics, we'll have to wait and see what Elira says.

Elira recalled the adorable image of the little maid in her mind, then remembered the coldness she had shown when she was taking revenge. After a while, she continued, "Your little maid is an avenger. As long as you die, she will do whatever it takes to avenge you."

"No matter how powerful the opponent is, she can always find ways to kill the target."

"Those beings who killed me were all ridiculously strong."

"Then she would spend her whole life studying an opponent until she found a way to kill him."

At this point, she glanced at the direction of the room door and continued, "Even the one who was with you died at the hands of your maid."

"I told her not to seek revenge for me, but she wouldn't listen," Elise muttered, then a bright smile bloomed on her face. "But my little maid is really amazing~"

According to Elira, if her maid seeks revenge every time she dies, then wouldn't the maid have killed many of the main characters?

Seeing Elise's smile, Elira also twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling that the other party's reaction was somewhat abnormal.

Just as Yi Lisi was about to ask the other people, a knock suddenly sounded at the door. It was Hedy returning.

Hattie, who had been given permission to enter the room, blinked as she looked at the two people sitting there in a harmonious atmosphere. She had accidentally lost track of the long-eared beast when she went to chase it, and then was delayed by various things.

This made her realize that something seemed wrong, so she quickly broke free from the entanglement and rushed back.

However, the situation here seems to be a little different from what she imagined.

Looking at the bewildered Hattie, Elira said irritably, "So you finally decided to come back to me."

"Hehe." Hattie scratched her head a little embarrassedly, then walked over to Elira and whispered, "You know, I can't control myself when I see some rare magical beasts."

Seeing that Hattie had returned, Elise didn't ask her any further questions. She simply smiled and said to Hattie, "Didn't you catch up with my little white rabbit?"

"No, your Little White's speed is nothing like that of a long-eared beast," Hattie muttered.

As a summoner, she was very familiar with information about various magical beasts. Even if the long-eared beast was a mutated creature, it was at most a third-tier beast. However, the speed that the long-eared beast displayed was something that even she, a fifth-tier summoner, could not catch up with.

Elise didn't explain, but just smiled and said, "Next time I'll let you study Little White properly, but not in the dissection kind, okay?"

Now that Hattie is back, it seems that the questions Iris wanted to ask Elira will have to wait until next time.

If she could, Elise would love to keep Elira around for a long talk all night, but judging from how sweaty Elira looked, she probably didn't really want to be with this madwoman.

It's a bit of a pity, but after this, Elira won't be able to escape either.

While talking to Hattie, Elera suddenly felt a chill. She glanced at Iris instinctively and found the world-destroying witch staring at her with burning eyes.

It's like they're about to eat themselves.

The "eating" here refers to the physical act of biting or chewing with the mouth.

My relationship with her had clearly improved, so why is it still like this?

As expected, the world-destroying witch is extremely dangerous, and she doesn't know if confronting her this time is a good thing.

Once your secrets are revealed to the enemy, even if you were reborn, they would probably find them very quickly, right?

Thinking of this, Elira sighed with a touch of melancholy, then slowly stood up and said, "Well, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do this afternoon, so I might have to take Hattie back first. I'll come and find Miss Iris again next time I have time, and we can have a good chat about some interesting things from ancient times."

"I see." Iris's face showed undisguised disappointment, an expression that even Elira couldn't help but want to stay.

They're both women, so why is Elise so outstanding?

After silently complaining to herself, Elira forced herself to calm down and left the manor with Iris by her side.

After walking some distance from the manor, Elira finally relaxed a little. It was at this moment that Hattie, who was standing next to her, asked, "While I was away, did something happen between you and Miss Elise?"

"No, no." Elira squinted her eyes. Although her acting was a bit clumsy in front of Iris, it was still enough to fool Hattie.

"Really not? But when I got back to the room, you seemed really nervous." Hattie seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement as she looked at Elira. "I've heard that the atmosphere here in the Empire is very open, and even girls can openly express their affection for each other. Could it be that while I wasn't here, Miss Iris..."

Although Hattie didn't continue speaking, Elaela could tell what she was thinking from her expression. She reached out and ruffled Hattie's hair in an annoyed tone: "What are you thinking? I was just talking to Miss Elise about ancient stories and I overheard some secret rumors."

"Is that all?" Hattie lost interest the moment she heard about ancient things. She was still thinking about the long-eared beast from the Elise family. After losing track of the long-eared beast, a thought suddenly popped into her head: could that long-eared beast be the shapeshifter she saw in the monster shop before?

That shapeshifter wasn't actually a shapeshifter; it was a shapeshifter that a Devourer had created after absorbing the shapeshifter and acquiring its abilities.

If that's the case, then wouldn't I have missed out on a Devourer Cub?

Thinking about this, Hattie suddenly felt a deep, piercing pain in her heart.

Volume 1: Chapter 265 The Method of Using the Bestowal Ritual

"What were you talking about inside just now? I had a feeling that Miss Elira was trying to run away?"

After Elira and Hattie left, Nora also moved closer to Elise, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"It's nothing, we just chatted about some ancient legends."

Even if Nora was naive, she couldn't possibly believe what Elise said. She pursed her lips, knowing that since Elise didn't want to talk about it, she probably wouldn't get any answers no matter how she asked.

So Nora made a decisive decision and went back to continue training.

After all, tomorrow marks the start of the academy competition. Although it's called an exchange meeting, it's ultimately a grand event where each academy showcases its strengths.

Then there will be even less time for training, so she must make the most of her time now and continue practicing.

Seeing Nora's enthusiasm, Iris nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the maid and said, "Misha~"

Upon hearing her mistress call her name, the young maid immediately approached Iris and respectfully asked, "Miss, may I ask if you have...?"

Before the maid could finish speaking, she noticed her mistress placing her hand on her head and gently stroking it—something her mistress only did when she was in a good mood.

Although the little maid didn't know what was happening, she knew that it felt good when her mistress touched her head, so she took the initiative to rub against her.

Looking at the happy little maid, Elise thought for a moment, but decided not to reason with her. She knew the little maid's personality very well. Even if she promised to give up revenge after her death, the little maid would probably still do what Elira said and use any means necessary to avenge her, once she was really dead.

The maid noticed that her mistress looked at her with a mixture of pity and relief. She blinked, completely unaware of what had happened.

But before the maid could speak, Iris's voice rang out first: "Misha, I want to take a bath. Help me prepare."

"Oh."

After receiving the instructions, the maid immediately went to prepare, while Elise went to Wendy's room.

Upon seeing Wendy reading a book, Elise knew that the other woman had projected her consciousness into this clone.

"Why has your consciousness been transferred here? Why aren't you looking for me anymore?"

“Because you just seemed to have something very important to do, and you even used the power of order.” Wendy said, directly controlling the modified room.

On the floor, several insect eggs wriggled and emerged. After appearing, these eggs began to expand rapidly and eventually transformed into several fifth-order flesh worms.

This is the name Wendy gave to this insect, because it possesses the power of a fifth-tier being but has no combat ability whatsoever. It was created for Elise to devour.

"How did you know I was injured? Never mind, you don't need to tell me. I know you must have smelled the blood."

"Ah."

Elise showed no mercy, her invisible maw instantly devouring all the flesh worms. Subsequently, the injuries Elise sustained from the backlash of the power of order were rapidly healing.

After feeling her physical condition improve, Elise casually sat down in a chair and asked Wendy, "How's the research on the God's Corpse Parts going?"

"It's already gradually being eroded, but because of the divine skin, the progress isn't very fast."

"You'd better be careful, or the filth might revive inside your body."

"Don't worry, He can't do that in his current state."

Wendy was confident, after all, her body was a mixture of the flesh and blood of the Insect Queen and the Earth Goddess.

"That's good. Also, you need to keep a close eye on Shenpi's condition, and make sure you don't get hurt."

"Ah."

Wendy then told Elise about the situation in the Principality of Claire. After the body parts of the god were moved, the contamination was gradually being cleared, and the situation in the principality would definitely get better and better.

However, Wendy was somewhat worried that the situation of the Earth Goddess Church would no longer be able to be concealed, and the Eternal Church might take some action after learning about the development of the Goddess Church.

After listening to Wendy's concerns, Elise smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. The Eternal Church will have a long time to deal with our affairs. By the time they have time to spare, it will be too late."

Although Wendy didn't know why Elise was so confident, she had always trusted Elise, so she had no doubts at all and simply nodded: "Then I'll continue developing it."

"Yes, please let me know if you have any questions."

"I have a question now."

"what?"

"I want something that smells like you," Wendy said directly, her eyes clear, as if she were talking about something very important.

Even Elise was momentarily speechless upon hearing this. She glanced at him sideways and said, "I can't give it to you right now."

“I can now perform the bestowal ritual. You should now be able to use the authority of the Earth Goddess to give me something through the bestowal ritual.”

"You went to great lengths to initiate the bestowal ceremony just to obtain me..."

"Yes, is there a problem? That's one of the ways I maintain my humanity."

Wendy even went so far as to say something about maintaining humanity, leaving Elise with no way to refuse. She could only sigh helplessly and say, "Alright, I'll grant you the past once you get back!"

After saying that, Elise got up and left, afraid that if she stayed any longer, Wendy would make even more outrageous requests.
