I'll kill you after I finish this game!

If that's the case, I hope that only I will be hurt, because I am the only one who is guilty and weak.

Skadi and Fujii shouldn't have gotten hurt.

Fujii Ren must be fighting right now, and he knows exactly who his opponent is.

It must be Lisa, I'm sure it's her.

Now both of them... Lisa and Ren Fujii are injured, bleeding and crying.

Then, one of them will die.

This kind of thing.......

"please..."

Thinking this, Ling'ai sadly closed her eyes again, her hands still clasped tightly in a prayerful gesture.

Although she knew it was impossible, the girl couldn't help but pray.

No matter which one it is, please don't get hurt...

However, this wish cannot be expressed in words.

BOOM! ...

Suddenly, an explosive wave of energy between multiple souls swept over Lingai's body.

Intense labor pains and thoughts of death once again ravaged her body.

"Well---!"

With a soft cry of pain, Ling'ai, who had been praying, suddenly clutched her lower abdomen and curled up.

"This is......"

The same painful feeling as before, the excruciating pain of death and suffering piercing through the stigmata, and the imagery of death.

"...The Altar of Sacrifice...has opened..."

This time, the imagery of death is more intense and expansive; compared to the previous pain, this time there is also a heartache stemming from blood ties.

Her eyes widened involuntarily, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Just like that, I understood and comprehended everything.

Reia Himuro was convinced that it was Lisa's life that had been opened by the altar of life.

Ah, how could this be... So, that means...

"...PaterNosterquiincaelisessanctificeturnomentuum (Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name)"

“Requiemaeternamdonaeis, Domineetluxperpetualuceateis (May the Lord grant them eternal rest, and let His unending light shine upon His people)”

The overwhelming longing made Ling'ai feel nauseous, so the young girl couldn't help but utter a sacred phrase.

However, the loathing she felt for herself made it impossible for her to act as a go-between for those words.

Lisa Brenner is dead, which means that Ren Fujii is still alive.

How sinful it is that feeling of security that surges up involuntarily in that instant.

The girl felt that her sighs smelled terrible.

In his own mind... did Fujii Ren's life outweigh Lisa's death?

If her heart stopped beating because of self-loathing, Reia would rather continue like this forever.

but---

"It looks like it's open."

Suddenly, a mocking and intriguingly enchanting voice rang out behind Himuro Reia.

Hearing a second voice in the empty church, where no one else was present, Himuro Reia unconsciously stood up.

Rusalka suddenly appeared in the church, turned his head and looked in one direction with interest, and laughed, "Is that... the hospital?"

"..."

Ling Ai silently pursed her pale lips as she looked at the other person, her eyes showing neither rejection nor welcome.

But Rusalka walked up to Rei, who was dressed in clerical robes, with a grin, and said:

"You're not usually so helpful, are you? You didn't even notice me come in?"

"you......"

The red-haired girl was right in front of her, smiling at her, but Lingai felt as if she were facing a sticky, man-eating swamp, which made her very uncomfortable.

Rusalka Schweiglin, it was almost the first time the other person had spoken, but Ling Ai was very familiar with her.

The saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" is perfect for describing someone.

"Okay, don't mind my presence, just keep doing it."

Seeing Himuro Reia remain silent, Rusalka chuckled, gesturing for her to continue praying like a priest. But seeing no movement, he tilted his head and asked, "Or is it already over?"

In stark contrast to her friendly, smiling demeanor, the surrounding candles blurred the shadow of the red-clad girl in front of Rei's eyes.

Like a living organism, like internal organs, it stretches and contractes restlessly.

"Hey, what were you praying for just now? Or were you regretting it? Your friend's life is more important than your grandmother's life, and you're acting like a bad kid?" Rusalka said with a smile, making Ling'ai's eyes widen involuntarily.

"..."

Is it that my thoughts have been read, or is the other person reading my mind?

Himuro Rei tried her best to think of nothing and empty her mind.

"Huh? Do you think I know nothing, Theresa Himmler?"

Looking at Ling'ai's stiff, doll-like expression, Rusalka's face broke into a wicked smile, a smile of lewdness and greed, the smile of an insectivorous plant.

"What...you didn't know that before?"

But seeing Himuro Rei's still doll-like expression, Rusalka's face showed a contradictory expression of disappointment and mischievous smile. Looking into her eyes, he smiled and said:

"Lisa is your great-grandmother~~~~"

"..."

Rusalka twirled her red hair with her fingers, mocking her. Himuro Reia remained silent, simply averting her gaze as if to avoid the issue, lowering her head and concealing her expression with her snow-silver bangs.

"What? Didn't you blatantly hate me? Oh well."

Rusalka was somewhat disappointed not to see any panic or shock on Himuro Reia's face, but he quickly rallied and looked at Reia curiously, asking:

"Hey, Theresa-chan, didn't you say you didn't feel that kind of anxiety? I can't comment on other people's affairs, but your great-grandmother was quite a bad woman, you know."

Reia Himuro knew this; Lisa Brenner was a member of the historical life agency.

During the World Wars, her mission was to artificially create innate, or naturally born, superhuman beings.

“Eugenics… to put it simply, is the purification of the human race, the mating of certain individuals to produce better children.” Rusalka looked Himuro Reia up and down, smiling as he said, “Under what conditions, and what kind of stimulation, can a natural genius be formed?”

Eugenics is a science that uses the principles of genetics to ensure that offspring have the ability to survive normally. It originated in the Ying Kingdom and means "healthy inheritance".

The main research focuses on how to effectively reduce the incidence of birth defects.

Positive eugenics aims to promote the birth of individuals who are physically and intellectually superior. It involves using molecular biology and cell molecular science to modify and transform genetic material, control individual development, and make offspring more perfect, thereby truly achieving the goal of manipulating and transforming human beings themselves.

However, German eugenics is slightly different; its purpose is to artificially create technology that allows people to be born geniuses or superhumans.

Eugenics is not actually a strange idea; at least during the World Wars, the whole world was in a frenzy over it.

Reia Himuro, who stood before Rusalka, was the so-called ultimate Aryan bloodline.

The sons of the sun, the sons of the president, the sons of the head of state, and the sons of Nazis are the offspring of children created by German eugenics techniques.

"The number of children Lisa killed, and the number of times she had sex with men and women without any love, both exceeded a thousand."

Rusalka gently toyed with her hair, chuckling as she told a nasty, corny joke:

"Theresia, back then, her independent research facility under that lord was like a decadent city in the Bible."

Just like Lisa's demonic name, Great Slut, Babylon.

The reason why ancient Babylon was called the "city of sin" was partly due to the Babylonians' religious beliefs. They had a fanatical worship of fertility, so their actions not only offended the gods but also made them extremely cruel and inhumane to women.

In ancient Babylon, women were required to go to the temple to act as sacred prostitutes, to have intercourse with strange men on behalf of the god—a truly taboo matter.

Moreover, in everyday life, women were required to have sexual relations with guests because these were considered gifts.

However, women at the time could not resist, so ancient Babylon was later called the city of sin, a decadent city and a sinful city as described in the Bible.

The scenario that Lisa Brenner studied under the Fountain of Life was quite similar to this City of Sin.

Back then, with the terrifying technology brought by Gray, Lisa, as his subordinate, was also very fascinated, especially by the technology related to genetics.

Grey initially claimed he wouldn't conduct experiments on children; the superheroes he created were generally teenagers and adults.

The reason given to the head of state at the time was that "once an irreparable mistake is made, the very foundation of the nation will suffer irreparable damage."

Children are the future of the nation, a fact known to the German leadership, who understood and acknowledged Gray's reasoning.

After all, the other party has already achieved substantial experimental results.

But understanding is one thing, and acknowledgment is another; human greed always leads to wanting more after obtaining something.

No one would ever complain about being better, more outstanding, more talented, or more powerful!

They envisioned a future of national victory and even wanted to make their entire nation special.

If research on innate geniuses and superhumans is successful, it could also allow an entire nation to stand at the top of the world.

Despite this temptation, some people still take action.

Lisa is the practitioner of this task and research project.

At the time, her experiments produced far too many byproducts.

Children whose skulls are deformed due to their brains being too large.

Three arms and four legs are not uncommon examples.

However, it also yielded results, with children exhibiting clairvoyance, telekinesis, and even precognitive and mind-reading abilities.

This achievement excited the top leadership at the time, who were eager to raise the flag. They considered any failures, byproducts, or sacrifices necessary.
