Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

After returning to the church.

Rhodes didn't go to chat with the girls directly, but went back to his room alone first.

Some things really can only be discussed when all of them are together.

There is another more crucial thing,

That means he must hurry into the divine realm and release the Dragon God.

He stayed in his room, holding his breath and sensing the energy fluctuations within his body.

[Divinity].

Once he attained godhood, he was no longer a believer in other gods, but a separate, independent god.

Although it is not entirely divine, it is still a god.

Interestingly, after his seven breakthroughs and ascensions, he naturally gained an opportunity to fuse with a new divine seed, but he clearly wasn't in a hurry to do so on the altar just now.

The reason is simply that he couldn't guarantee what would happen if he fused with a divine seed after just fusing with a divine position.

The same applies now... Rather than rushing to fuse with the new divine seed, he still needs to try to rescue the Dragon God first.

"Let's give it a try. For now, I've at least obtained the access card."

Rhodes reached out, as if grasping at empty space—

Instantly, a distorted energy wave emanated from it.

When all his attribute skills are activated, Rhodes can guarantee that even with the so-called "forbidden" skill that has been upgraded eight times, he will not be inferior in the slightest.

He is now only one step away from his peak strength in his previous life.

Tear, crush, stir.

At the same time, countless strands of jet-black silk burst forth from the [Thorn Crown], wrapping around Rhodes' body and pulling him into the Heretical Dimension, instantly vanishing from the spot—

Unlike his previous visits to the Fallen Demon God Realm, this time he came voluntarily and actively controlled his own existence.

The world opened its doors to him.

The world spun around him, and the colors around him instantly turned to an extreme, deathly white again. Vague, ethereal gray particles began to fall against his body and swirl around it.

Before long, that fragmented panorama of time and space reappeared before his eyes—

The slides seemed to show what existed in all directions in front of them, and in the very center of them—was her.

【Dragon God】, Sylvia.

The girl's aura was no weaker than when Rhodes left; on the contrary, it seemed frozen at the moment Rhodes departed, still facing life and death, but filled with unwavering will.

The handcuffs were still scabbed over and stuck to the wounds on her skin, and the marks on her neck looked like they had been cut open, but her snow-white, silver dragon eyes and her sharp little white dragon horns were still powerful.

The moment she saw Rhodes appear, she flicked her enormous tail, and a hint of emotion flashed in her cold eyes.

It's like... a puppy or kitten seeing its owner come home.

Rod breathed a sigh of relief.

still alive.

It's good that you're still alive.

At least it's much better than him coming in and finding her already dead.

Rhodes reached out and instantly tapped the slideshow screen—

Just like last time, the rift between the slides and reality collapsed in an instant, and countless fragments flew out as Rhodes moved forward;

As Rod took a step, the world completely merged and became one.

At this moment, the two of them looked at each other again.

"As agreed, I have arrived."

"Hmm..." Sylvia's expression didn't show much happiness, and even her response was just a soft sound.

However, despite her expression, her thick tail had already begun to sway gently from side to side, its tip twitching—revealing her true inner emotions without reservation.

coming.

Although she had believed Rod's promise last time, the fear in her heart could not be quelled.

Every hour, every second, she kept closing and opening her eyes, just so that if Rhodes appeared, she could see him first and end her fear.

She was so scared... Even though she didn't want to say it out loud, the fear in her heart was definitely causing her to sink deeper and deeper.

After all, entrusting one's life to someone else and believing that they will come to save her someday is an incredibly agonizing thing.

She and Rhodes were not close, and Rhodes did have a way to kill her directly. From any perspective, she could not be sure that he would appear.

However, Rhodes has now actually arrived.

So, the panic in my heart really did disappear.

Even if Rhodes really couldn't save her, at least... he kept his promise and said he would come back. That was enough.

“A day early,” Sylvia said in a clear yet slightly hoarse voice.

"No, it's past midnight now, so it's the third day, that's right."

Sylvia nodded slightly, pursed her lips, and gazed at Rhodes with her silver eyes:

"Have you found a solution?"

"More or less." Rhodes looked at the little dragon girl, took a few steps closer, and moved a little closer to her.

"This is……"

Sylvia's pupils contracted in an instant. At that moment, she could clearly feel the resentment within her being drawn away and disappearing from Rhodes' body.

Moreover, and most importantly, Rhodes' aura is wrong.

It is not a human being, but a god.

"You... you've been deified? There are only so many divine positions in total, and you... this is..."

Sylvia didn't ask any further questions. She wasn't stupid; she could guess on her fingers what divine position Rhodes had fused with.

But when she figured it out, she found it even more unbelievable.

Even if she forcibly devoured one-twelfth of the Demon God's position, she would still end up like this. How could Rhode possibly be unharmed?

Do not……

There's no need to figure it out.

The person standing in front of her was not an enemy, but someone who had come to save her.

Therefore, there is no need to be suspicious, or rather, even if there is suspicion, we should wait until we get out of here alive before making any decisions.

"Just as you thought, I got the key this time, so I should be able to do it."

"Of course, if that's not enough, then I'll have to go find other gods to borrow a few more fragments before I can save you."

After saying this, Rod raised his arm;

The redemption operation has officially begun.

Chapter 196 I survived... (5.5k)

Under Rhode's control, the entire corrupted demon realm began to tremble slightly.

The deathly white sky tilted down at this moment, while the resentment on the ground stirred wildly and surged towards the sky.

In an instant, pitch black and stark white collided, and Sylvia's cross simultaneously emitted a booming sound, beginning to shake as if the earth were trembling.

"what……"

She now appears to be torn apart by five horses; the cross behind her is not flying into the sky, but rather splitting in five directions.

Sylvia had to frown, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her cheeks and forehead.

But even with such pain, she had to endure it.

What Rhodes is doing now is essentially mobilizing all the energy of the Fallen Demon God's domain to dismantle the [Twelve Demon God Fragments] within her body, so this pain is something she has to endure.

"Well……!"

However, even knowing this, she still couldn't help but let out muffled cries of pain when she was in excruciating pain.

If any villains heard Sylvia's muffled groans, they would probably be tempted—the sound was just too much like the innocent, childlike voice of a cute little girl being bullied.

However, Rhodes didn't have the leisure to care about that.

He's like someone trying to pick a lock with a key, but the key is only one-twelfth the length.

It was extremely difficult.

Every bit of power must be precisely controlled, otherwise the fragments of the demon god inside Sylvia's body will not be expelled, but will burst her body and fly out.

Countless threads of resentment were drawn from every pore of Sylvia's body; this was the most dangerous moment.

If Rhodes fails, then everything will be for naught.

He will have to face the riotous demon god who will awaken in two months, and he will also have to leave the Linlank Empire without a god for a period of time—at least, only he, the false god, can do it.

This is tricky; even Rhodes hadn't expected it to be this tricky.

I thought it was just a matter of missing a key, but even with the key, things turned out to be incredibly difficult.

One minute.

five minutes.

...

...

Time continued to pass, and Sylvia was already on the verge of collapse. Her body was completely numbed by the pain, and her consciousness was in a state of chaos.

She didn't know if she had opened her eyes or not. Perhaps what she saw of Rhodes now was just a fleeting image of him when she closed her eyes a second ago.

Overlapping, blurred vision, and a burning sensation all over the body.

Will she survive?
