After she agreed to Reiji's deal, Reiji ruthlessly turned the entire Sendai region into yellow sand, bringing everything to a state of decay and plundering the souls of everyone in the Sendai region.
Lizzie looked timidly at the screen displaying the news. Thinking of the tens of thousands of lives that had been wiped out, the kind-hearted girl couldn't help but pray.
Liselotte was furious when she saw this side of herself. What kind of nonsense was she praying in front of her? It was utterly ridiculous.
So she grabbed Lizziet's little ear and said in a vicious tone:
"Don't pray in front of me! And absolutely do not pray for a bunch of lowly humans. Seeing you makes me want to vomit!!"
"Ouch!! That hurts!! But even if there are many bad people in this world, there must be good people too... I'm just praying for those who got caught up in it, sob sob, please stop pulling me..."
Lizzie winced in pain, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at her other, fierce-looking self. In a weak, tearful voice, she explained to herself.
The kind-hearted girl naturally knew the state of the world; there were countless bad people (child abusers), and some children had even suffered more terrible treatment than she had in the past.
Reiji had previously wiped out an entire city. Lizzette believed that even in such a large city, there must be a very few good people.
Is there anything wrong with her praying for someone who has died?
"Heh, you were the one who cursed the gods in the first place, which led to my birth. Now you're acting like this. Don't you think you're ridiculous?!"
Upon hearing this, Liselotte released Lizziet, her expression filled with obvious sarcasm and mockery, her tone extremely vicious and sarcastic as she criticized the other party's hypocritical behavior.
She had already abandoned that god whose existence was unknown, yet she was still here hypocritically praying; it was truly disgusting to watch.
Her mind, body, and even soul could not bear the thought of another version of herself praying in front of her; it was utterly disgusting.
After being tortured by the Crusaders to the point of wishing for death, she was thrown into a pile of rotting corpses. Naked and with her decaying body, she used the last of her strength to curse the gods. Finally, she was seen by the dark magician Michel, which led to the complete birth of the witch Liselotte.
"Woooo..."
Lizzie looked dejected and lost. She couldn't win against her other self, and the witch Lizzie's mockery really hurt her.
Liselotte despises everything related to God, but she is interested in Rezel's behavior as a demon despite being a Son of God.
The scene of countless souls being plundered by this golden, radiant man was especially captivating to the witch.
Although the man's radiance was dazzling and captivating, his true nature was extremely vicious.
Just like the Mephistopheles (avoiding the light of love) described in Faust's book.
Despite its allure, the evil light of love should be avoided and never be loved. Raize's ability to absorb countless souls from Sendai is precisely the embodiment of the forbidden light of love.
Despite possessing such divine power, its essence is no different from that of a demon from hell, which greatly intrigues Liselotte.
The man was currently focused on matters concerning the soul when he heard the two girls, who shared the same origin, arguing. A smile played on his handsome face as he looked at the dejected Lizzie.
"Lizzie, you really are a lot like Elsa. Is it that you were once so kind and pure, and now you're so dark...?"
Yes, Lizzie's personality is very similar to Elsa's, who is now a doctor in the port, and their fates are similar yet different.
"Humph!"
Upon hearing Lei Zhe's words, the witch gave a displeased snort, but she didn't retaliate with harsh words or venomous remarks.
"...Um, Lord Reizer, who is this Elsa you mentioned?"
Seeing Rezer looking over with a smile, Lizzie was a little intimidated because she felt she had disturbed his work, but she was very interested in Elsa, whom Rezer mentioned.
Is the person who is very similar to her someone in terms of experience or personality?
"She's from my original world, a devout little nun with a personality ninety percent similar to yours. She was born with divine power, capable of easily healing the wounds of both humans and angels, and almost became a saint in the church..."
Reiji's words completely piqued Lizzie's curiosity. Looking at Reiji, her fear gradually disappeared, and she became very curious about the girl who resembled her that Reiji was talking about.
Although Liselotte still had a sour expression, she had become somewhat interested in the girl that Reiji had mentioned, and was also extremely curious about Reiji's original world.
After all, the other party didn't hide the fact that they weren't from this world, and Liselotte was extremely interested in a world that could nurture such a powerful being.
Based on some of what Reiji said, Liselotte deduced that the other party was also from that world, which was also Earth, and that there were indeed gods in it.
"Then...that Elsa's successor..."
Unable to contain her curiosity, Lizzie asked Reiji.
"After that, her life took a rather sad turn. Because of her healing power, she accidentally discovered and healed a severely injured demon. It was discovered that her ability was even effective against demons, so she was regarded as a heretic and a witch and was exiled by the church."
"Well......"
Upon hearing the change, Lizzie's face froze with a touch of sadness. Wasn't this a slightly different yet identical version of her?
"...Tsk! Believers in God are just as annoying no matter the world!!"
The witch Liselotte's face darkened upon hearing this, clearly indicating that Elsa's story resonated with her.
She was simply saving others, yet she was treated maliciously and labeled a witch. How similar this is to her innocent past.
"So, did Elsa eventually become a witch who hates the God of Curses just like me!?"
Liselotte, looking quite displeased, continued to question Reiji, eager to see what Aisha would be like after becoming a witch.
After all, I'm miserable myself, and hearing about other people's misery can always give me some comfort.
However, it was clear that Liselotte was wrong. Reiji looked at her with a teasing expression and said:
"Elsa was banished as a witch because she was tricked by the demon she had healed. That demon was a scumbag who liked to corrupt and toy with nuns."
“Back then, that devil deliberately injured himself so she could heal him, and then ‘deliberately’ let the church discover and expel him. Without the church’s protection, he could easily take advantage of Elsa.”
Then comes the story of how Elsa, by chance, met him, heard her faith, and extended a helping hand.
Looking back on Elsa's experience, if Diodora had actually succeeded, Elsa's fate wouldn't have been much better than Liselotte's.
"Ugh! Demons are so annoying, they're so wicked!"
Hearing this, Lizzie's cheeks puffed up in anger. As she listened to Rezer's story, she felt sadness and anger, but also relief and envy for Aisha's good outcome.
Why should I be the target of malice when I did nothing wrong? I saved that devil, yet he harbored ill intentions.
Moreover, she deliberately plotted against Elsa, and Lizzie was speaking out for the other party in the face of injustice.
Upon hearing this, Liselotte's expression became unusually calm. Although she was initially a little angry, she was relieved.
Over the next century, she witnessed the ugliness of human nature. No matter how kind you are, some unscrupulous people will always laugh and trample on you, and plunder everything you have.
She was like this before, and Elsa, as described by Rezhe, was the same; it all stemmed from her own powerlessness.
What Rezhe said wasn't wrong either. What she truly hated was the version of herself that was powerless to face malice, which is why she hated seeing Lizzie, the kind version of herself she once was.
"Lord Reiji, you said your world has many gods, so does Aisha worship any gods...?"
Suddenly, Lizzie, who had just heard this, asked Reiji hesitantly.
Liselotte, on the other side, knew exactly what she wanted to ask. Although she remained silent on the surface, she was equally interested.
Will a high and mighty deity truly extend a helping hand to its suffering believers?
Rezé knew exactly what Lizzie was thinking. With his ability to read minds and sense emotions, he could also feel the rich inner turmoil of Lizzie.
"No..."
Upon hearing Reiji's answer, Lizzet's face showed disappointment, while Lizzet's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm.
She thought to herself, how could a god so high and mighty extend a helping hand to lowly humans? But what Reiji said next caused the witch's heart to tremble violently.
"Because the God of my original world had been dead for a long time at that time, how could he have heard Aisha's prayers?"
"Huh!? Even gods can die!?"
Upon hearing this, Lizzie's eyes widened immediately, and she repeated incredulously.
She and Liselotte originally thought that the gods did not respond to their followers because of arrogance or inaction, but they did not expect that the god in Reiji's world had already died.
Liselotte was also shocked by Reiji's words. That was God! He must have had considerable power in that world of men. Could such a god really die?
"Who dares to say they are immortal...?"
Rezhe shrugged helplessly, then continued to explain to Lizzie and Lizzielot the general situation of the Little Saint as he knew it.
He didn't know what the gods of other worlds were like.
However, his little saint is undoubtedly a god who is dedicated to the stability of the world and has a great fondness for mankind.
Lei Zhe also told the two women why the God of his world had died, and also let them know about the actions of the God of his world.
Liselotte was deeply moved after hearing this. The god that Rezer mentioned was undoubtedly a benevolent deity to humankind.
In order to give humanity a voice in a world where gods and demons intertwine, all sorts of powerful and threatening wonders were created and spread among humankind.
Because he forcibly sealed away the 666 Calamity Beasts that threatened the world, his strength was greatly reduced and he became weak. That's why he died in the war between gods and demons, perishing together with them.
The other party protected and helped humanity during their lifetime, and after their death, they gave humanity divine artifacts that brought them endless benefits. Lizzet felt that this was how God's love for humanity should be.
Moreover, even Reiji, who was standing in front of her, had received some help from him. However, because of this, Lizzet felt reluctant about what Reiji was going to do to the world.
"Lord Reiji, do you really want to destroy this world?"
Thinking of the cursed children in her memories, and the vast remaining population of the world, the kind-hearted Lizzie couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
She knew she had been mistreated and twisted, and her twisted self (Lizelot) had done countless heinous things.
Therefore, despite her split personality, Lizzie still believes she is guilty and wants to atone for it.
It was precisely this kind of thinking that disgusted the twisted, vengeful witch Liselotte to the extreme. She believed that being powerful was right and had no regrets about everything she had done.
If Liselotte hadn't entered the cycle of reincarnation, and things had progressed normally, she would definitely have eventually developed the idea of destroying the world.
The witch was only interested in Razer's methods of destroying the world, interested in what purpose this man was in destroying the world, and had no sympathy for the people destroyed by Razer.
"Lizzie, do you sympathize with them? Or do you believe there's still hope for them? That such extreme methods as destruction are unnecessary?"
Rezhe looked at the innocent girl with a playful expression. He didn't dislike Lizzie's personality, after all, it was similar to Elsa's.
"..."
Lizzie looked at Reiji, opened her mouth, hesitated for a long time, then glanced at the sneering Lizzielot, and finally said, "I don't know... Although the people of this world have indeed done many evil things, and caused many unbearable tragedies to befall a group of innocent children, I should hate them... But when I think about how many, many people will die in the future, I can't help it..."
"..."
Reiji didn't speak, but his impression of Lizzet had improved considerably. A helpless smile appeared on his face, not mocking Lizzet's sentimentality, nor her hypocrisy, but rather...
"If there were people like you, Lizzie, in this world who could understand and treat others kindly, this world wouldn't have become such a rotten place."
Yes, I don't expect the world to be full of people like Lizzie, but I just want there to be a little more people like Lizzie, enough to give him a reason to save the world.
If this world could be like Demon Slayer, with many figures like the Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku or Tanjiro, whom Reize admires and respects, he wouldn't have resorted to such extreme measures.
"...You flatter me."
