Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

"So, that's all you wanted to say...?"

Intelligent and rational dialogue is never about spewing vulgarities, but rather about speaking in a cold and suffocating manner.

With just one sentence, Lilith was almost killed on the final chopping block.

Lilith understood this very well.

If she doesn't say anything now, and Natalie's situation is ruined, then she will have absolutely no chance of joining the team.

In that instant, a rare ripple appeared in Lilith's azure eyes.

Unable to integrate into the team?

When she heard those words, for some reason, her heart felt like it was being squeezed.

The scene of everyone sitting together, surrounding Rod, and then arguing idly...

She used to hate this noisy scene so much.

But now, she doesn't want to lose any of it, not even a little bit... Why is that?

Why?

She doesn't understand.

She didn't understand that she had become like an ordinary person from the very beginning, nor did she understand that she had long been accustomed to being with everyone.

But the pride in her heart, the pride that belonged to the gods, still held her back, making her stiff like a puppet.

Her foolish arrogance crushed the very image she longed for, without her realizing that this was exactly what she wanted.

Therefore, when the story truly came to an end, and she was freed from the pain of Rhodes' death, she genuinely felt this twisted emotion.

"I……"

Lilith's mind was in complete chaos.

If it were the old her, she probably would have fainted at this moment.

But she was different after all...

She has grown a lot and has learned to experience many things.

Therefore, even though the words were stuck in my throat and my mind went blank,

But at this moment, without realizing it, while her pupils were glazed over, her lips murmured softly:

"I think."

"What are you thinking about?" Natalie's voice came softly, neither fast nor slow.

"..." Lilith lowered her face, avoiding everyone's gaze, like a child who had made a mistake.

"You're not saying anything again. Are you ashamed? Embarrassed? Or still arrogant? If this is all you're capable of..."

Natalie's words hadn't finished.

At that moment, Lilith's final words clearly echoed through the crowd—

"Everyone, I hope you can be happy."

This is very much in line with Lilith's personality; after all, her words are always so brief and powerless.

But it doesn't fit her usual style at all.

Yes.

At that moment, everyone froze in their seats, their pupils slightly contracting.

Lilith, what did you just say...?

Disbelief, doubt, and sneer... all erupted in an instant.

Cecilia rested her chin on her hand, a mocking smile spreading across her face, making her appear deranged.

"Lilith, what's the point of saying this now that things have come to this?"

Trying to gain sympathy this way, hoping to move Natalie with these words? Don't be ridiculous!

Cecilia stood up instantly, laughing even more wildly.

Or rather... it was a laugh tinged with anger.

Perhaps, as the villain, she indeed has no right to stand up and blame Lilith at this moment.

Perhaps she wasn't part of the "everyone" that Lilith was referring to.

But she insisted on getting up, or rather, she had to stand up angrily.

Because she could assure him of one fact: if Lilith hadn't been there, Rhodes' final choice would never have been to kill her.

At least Rhodes would use a sealing method to suppress her, instead of piercing her heart with a cold sword!

Lilith knew this better than anyone else, because it was an order she gave after the final battle.

Kill her.

Those four cold words echoed so clearly in her mind, and now she's saying she wants everyone to be happy?

"Don't fucking joke with me...!"

Cecilia swore, which was unusual for her.

At this moment, her aura suddenly condensed to its highest level, and endless hatred arose in her heart, her resentment twisted to the extreme.

The distortion was so intense that even Ivina, standing nearby, felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Cecilia's voice was almost a shout:

"Lilith, I should have killed you! I really should have torn this body apart with all my might and blown you up a few days ago!"

The chaos in the scene escalated dramatically at this moment.

A terrifying shockwave spread out, unleashing the pressure of a fifth-level ascension.

But at this moment, Natalie, unusually, also shouted out loud, and her eyes swept over Cecilia:

"Cecilia, sit down!"

"You want me to sit down? Natalie, are you out of your mind or what? Don't you understand what kind of person she is?"

Such words would be touching coming from anyone else, but when she said them, they sounded disgusting and jarring!

"That's enough." Natalie's voice grew weaker and weaker, losing all its strength. "After all, don't you understand how many wrong things you've done?"

When Cecilia saw Natalie's exhausted state, her anger subsided without her realizing it.

“Natalie, you…”

Natalie was her old enemy.

Of course, strictly speaking, it was only after they went their separate ways that they became enemies with a complex mix of gratitude and resentment.

Those of them who were the first to stay together naturally understood what the other was thinking and what they were suffering from.

Therefore, upon seeing this scene, she naturally became speechless.

Or rather... she wasn't even qualified to speak in the first place...

They caused trouble and did things that bothered them...

Cecilia gradually weakened and stopped breathing.

But she didn't sit down. Instead, she clenched her fists, turned, and walked towards the door, leaving behind a single sentence:

"It's getting late, I'll go out and buy dinner for you guys, you guys chat... Turns out, I just came back to check on you."

She looked extremely tired, but she used this seemingly legitimate reason to escape from here.

Because she knew she couldn't stay there any longer.

Otherwise... if she can't control her emotions, how can she play a villain...?

The girl's figure grew smaller and smaller, gradually disappearing from Rhodes's sight until she vanished at the doorway.

Rhodes didn't stop Cecilia because he knew this girl wasn't someone to be trifled with.

Or rather, among this group of people, isn't Cecilia the one who still has problems?

He simply tapped the table slightly with his finger, drawing everyone's attention back to him—

"Yes, Lilith, everyone should have heard what you said."

"So, Natalie, what exactly do you want to say?"

After focusing his attention, Rod returned the conversation to the girls.

That's how it is... He knew he absolutely couldn't make a move right now.

After all, favoritism is the biggest accelerator of death.

but.

With Cecilia gone, attention returned to a particular moment in the meeting.

The other girls present were still in a daze, still reeling from Lilith's earlier words, "I want everyone to be happy."

Among them, the one who was constantly in a daze was none other than Felicity, who should have erupted like Cecilia.

Surprisingly, she wasn't angry, nor did she feel any jarring disgust; instead, a hint of confusion flickered in her eyes.

Because she understands very well.

Lilith... has changed.

Chapter 132 Lilith, I Like You

It's different from when I exposed her ugliness back then.

Lilith has become weak, or rather... too mild.

She didn't say things like "I don't care about your feelings at all," but rather said something full of emotion: "I want you to be happy."

but……

Even if things change, so what?
