Chapter 134 Natalie, I want to be with you.
While Natalie was collecting her reward in the twilight—
Cecilia happened to push open the door of the college cafeteria and come out.
For the people of the Linlank Empire, eating doesn't have much of an effect, but they still maintain this habit.
This is a custom of the Linlank Empire, because the [Star God's] pleasure attribute taught believers some basic habits, such as eating, which can make people happy.
Therefore, even ascendants who do not need to eat these ordinary foods retain this habit.
The fountain in the square was spraying water, and the lush green vegetation had not turned yellow or withered due to winter.
This is how the eastern part of the Linlank Empire is—warm all year round, and at least the cold winter doesn't change the landscape much.
But the capital city is different. The capital city is probably covered in snow now, with snow piled up on the trees and you could sink 30 or 40 centimeters into the snow with every step, Cecilia thought peacefully.
but-
Her body felt disoriented for a moment, and she began to feel dizzy.
Feeling the call, she quickly walked to the chair under the fountain, sat down, hugged the hot meal to her chest, and closed her eyes.
[Thump.]
As if a clock had turned, the pointer in her mind shifted from the twelve o'clock position to eleven o'clock.
Nothing had changed for her; it was just that some force had brought her back to life.
When she opened her eyes, the world before her was no longer the scene of the academy, but a dark and gloomy space.
Although it was dark, the room was still clean and warm. However, being on the first floor, the piles of snow were almost touching the windowsill.
Cecilia understood perfectly well that this was her room, or rather, her room in the capital city, the room of her "body".
The formidable talent of the [Twelve Bells] is precisely manifested in this aspect.
Regardless of distance or soul state, they can switch quickly.
However—
"What's wrong, Night Owl Witch?" Cecilia looked up at the witch standing in front of her and asked softly.
"Cecilia, would you like me to erase this contract for you? I can even do it remotely to free your body." The Night Owl Witch casually tugged at her witch hood.
Night Owl's figure appeared much fuller, at least more mature than Cecilia's, and his smile was quite kind at the moment.
"No—just a little fun. So, business?"
Night Owl blinked his dark eyes slightly: "Tell me about the progress so you can get ready to come back sooner and stop playing around."
"Now, things have taken a new turn."
As you said, the space where the demon god fragments are sealed is located in the Advanced Imperial Academy, and we have almost completely infiltrated it this past week.
And most importantly, the holding of the [divine sacrifice] was decided through pressure from spies and some outsiders.
The Linlank Empire is doomed.
The date was set for fourteen days later. On that day, the [Divine Sacrifice] would reveal the truth that the god was dead, plunging all the people of the Linlank Empire into panic.
In this way, our plan will proceed smoothly, and Phillips's failure will be insignificant.
, divine sacrifice.
This is the ultimate means by which a divine kingdom seeks divine favor.
The highest form of reverence for the divine was organized and executed by royalty and the pope; the process of this ceremony was a grand celebration.
The people enjoy the festival in peace and happiness, and the gods will bestow blessings on the day of the sacrifice, nourishing all the people in the center of the ceremony.
In other words, this sacrifice is not to seek the protection of the gods, but to confirm the truth that the gods are still alive.
That's right. If Lilith fails to bestow blessings during the divine sacrifice, it absolutely means that something is wrong with her.
Once this truth is confirmed, even before the energy reserved by the gods disappears in two months, the collapse of Linlank will occur rapidly, and the demonization of its people will drive them mad.
Traditionally, religious ceremonies are held once every three years, or only when there are major national events.
In the first playthrough, the divine sacrifice was not successfully held ahead of schedule. After all, with the interplay and probing of forces, two months passed quickly.
But this time it's different.
Too many people want the empire to collapse prematurely—witches and spies from the Dragon God Empire alike have already reacted in a second cycle through the resurrected [Divine Legacy].
Therefore, with the encouragement of all parties, this dangerous sacrificial ceremony was officially confirmed.
In other words, just as Rhodes had predicted, the impending crisis had indeed arrived ahead of schedule—
"Is that so?" Cecilia's lips curled slightly. "Lilith's empire is doomed."
Upon hearing this comprehensive information about the preparations, Cecilia's previous frustration and dissatisfaction vanished.
After all, as long as she can absorb this portion of the panicked [resentment] in the capital and fuse with one of the fragments of the Demon God's position, she has a real chance to become a preliminary [false god].
What's wrong with letting Lilith be happy for a few more days?
She deserves to die sooner or later.
The despicable god has corrupted the love that belongs to me; I will never let her go.
Cecilia has always been quite eccentric, at least emotionally, as evidenced by the fact that she was even willing to harm her Primarch Ivina in order to get revenge.
No pollution allowed, no contamination allowed —
Natalie's old friends were one thing, but those who appeared later were all outcasts, and the worst of these outcasts was Lilith.
"That's why I told you to come back early to prepare to fuse that divine fragment. There's no time to keep playing around."
The Night Owl Witch gazed at Cecilia and slowly spoke, adding, "After all, only you are qualified to fuse with the fragments of the Demon God. Don't let our plans be ruined."
"You are our future god, the future pinnacle of the world, and you must always remember that."
"So even if Chiven Lance is the reason you became a demon seed, you still need to restrain yourself."
"I know." Cecilia's heterochromatic eyes gleamed. "About three days. My birthday is coming up soon. After my birthday, I'll go on a date and then I'll be back."
"Yes, that would be best."
Cecilia closed her eyes.
In her mind, the clock ticked from eleven to twelve again.
Stasen Holy Academy—
With Natalie pinning him down, Rhodes' breathing became increasingly cautious.
After all, putting everything else aside, Natalie is now pinning him down and asking for a reward; it can't be a simple matter, can it?
It's still afternoon, and the soundproofing in the college dorms is terrible. You'd better behave yourself, Natalie.
However, Rhodes wasn't really surprised—after all, that's just Natalie's personality.
"What reward do you want?"
It was unusual for Rod to be pinned down by a girl, but he asked calmly.
Giving a cute child a little reward is not a problem in itself.
"Kiss, hehe." Natalie teasingly rubbed her face against Rhodes' nose.
"Hmm? This—"
To be honest, in the first playthrough, Natalie had already kissed him in various ways, so this level of reward requirement wasn't considered bad in Rhodes' eyes.
Or rather—there's no one these days who hasn't kissed someone, right?
"Just kidding, how could I be so shallow? Wouldn't I be stupid to waste my time on this kind of request when I can do something anytime I want?"
"6
Rod's eye twitched slightly.
He knew it.
"So, what do you really want?"
"Hmm—I want to sleep with you tonight."
"what?"
"What, it's not allowed?"
Rod thought for a moment and said, "Of course, but I'm still thinking about where we'll sleep tonight. We can't have a bunch of people sleeping in the living room."
"Isn't that simple? Let Cecilia and Lilith move to another building, and then Hiti can sleep with Ivina."
Two guilty fellows deserve a severe punishment.
"That's true."
"Alright, that's settled then."
After Natalie finished speaking, she completely lost her strength and collapsed into Rhodes's arms.
The sudden increase in the girl's weight did not overwhelm Rhodes, after all, having been promoted four times, he would not be injured by such a degree.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that Natalie's body is incredibly soft, as soft as a little white steamed bun. When she curls up and hugs him, she looks even more like a cat.
After all, cats are liquid, and apart from being a bit warmer, they're practically boneless.
Well, the key point is still the feeling of not having bones, right?
Unlike Ivina, Natalie was exceptionally generous.
Natalie reached out and pulled the blanket next to her over, tucking them both into the blankets.
Suddenly, the entire space became pitch black.
The perception of sight was no longer effective, but the stuffy heat of breathing seemed even more pronounced.
"Chirp chirp."
Natalie suddenly leaned close to Rhodes' ear and gently bit his ear, while her thigh softly rubbed against him.
餵？
Rod felt his ears getting wet and immediately said, "Wait, you're not being honest."
"It's still afternoon," Rod thought for a moment, then quickly added.
"So what?"
"?"
Very good, Natalie, you're the first person to say that to me.
However, I don't have the desire to attack right now, so I'll let you go for the time being.
"Rhodes".
Suddenly, Natalie's voice became much weaker, and she pressed her face directly against his chest, listening to his heartbeat;
Hearing Natalie's tone, Rodben's aroused emotions quickly subsided, and he reached out to hug her.
"I am here."
"I like you."
"That's not how it works. You should gradually increase your affection for Muli, and then tell her you like me when you're at the peak of your affection."
"Huh? What do you mean by 'corner'? But I think I understand what you mean—it's because I've told you 'I like you' so many times, but you never seem to care."
The words fell.
This sentence is as sharp as a knife.
Rhodes' eyes trembled slightly.
I'm sorry, Natalie.
Honestly, no one who plays games would think about so many things. When he played the game, he only thought about quickly completing one main storyline and then switching to another.
But when the profound love appeared before his eyes, Rhodes' heart was indeed heavy.
That's why he tried to make Lilith more sensible so that everyone could have a good ending.
After all, in the first playthrough, his actions as a "player" were indeed quite wrong—at the very least, he couldn't be so foolish as to shift all the blame onto Lilith.
He knew very well that although the girls hated Lilith, they also hated him for not being able to fulfill their love.
Natalie is alright, but Felicity has become half-darkened.
So he didn't really dare to imagine what other people's situations were like—he could only turn his attention to the present and try his best to do the things in front of him well.
"So, what do you want?"
"In this life, you hate Lilith's hypocrisy, so—could you look at me a little more, choose me a little more?"
I don't mean to possess you, I just mean that at least two out of seven days a week, I can sleep next to you.
I want to feel your warmth, and I want to stay with you forever.
I know many people need you, but I just can't control myself. I'm sorry.
That's so similar to what Felicity said.
But that's to be expected, given how good their relationship is.
Thinking about this, Rhodes felt a little irritated.
After all, Natalie is still unaware of Felicity's situation—and it's unknown how she will feel once she finds out.
It's a good thing that my dull, blockhead friend has finally come to her senses, but the person she's fallen for is someone she likes—that's just too bad for her.
Rhodes remained silent in thought, while Natalie's grip tightened.
Natalie, however, is not like Felicity in this respect.
During the time Rhodes was silent, she was neither anxious nor did she think that Rhodes was unwilling to respond to her feelings.
Because she was already used to Rhodes's avoidance, for her, simply holding him secretly while he was silent was enough.
Even if it's just a little bit of money, it's still something.
but.
Is it really possible that's all there is to it?
Human greed can never be hidden.
Even if you're thinking to yourself, "A third prize would be great," when you enter the lottery, who doesn't also dream of winning the grand prize?
Natalie is the same way.
Cowardly, cautious, and greedily fantasizing.
Even when she's greedily enjoying the present, she's still thinking about having a bigger future, isn't that how it is?
Her eyes secretly glanced upwards, even when pressed against Rod's chest, her eyes practically bulged out.
but-
Rhodes simply replied softly, "I will not make promises I cannot keep."
'
As she finished speaking, a disappointed smile appeared on Natalie's face, but she didn't say anything.
Right.
The girl's disappointment was undeniable; at least, her labored breathing made it clearly visible to Rhodes.
But at that moment, Rhodes simply pinched Natalie's waist lightly and then smiled faintly, "However, although I may not be very capable, I can promise you a happy future."
Rhodes' words fell again.
