Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

"So, why did Lilith suddenly disappear?"

"So that's what you wanted to know."

Felicity understood.

An extreme coldness was revealed in her amber eyes, and the corners of her lips were slightly upturned.

From her innocent and adorable appearance to her cold and indifferent demeanor, and then to this dark and ruthless state, it didn't take her very long.

She finally understood.

Rhode didn't believe Lilith's words, and his desire to have her confirm the facts was to find out what Lilith did after she disappeared.

Although she can be a bit slow at times, she's also very perceptive in these areas.

If she guessed correctly, it must be that Lilith said something about how she made great efforts to revive Rhodes in her previous life, even giving up everything for Rhodes, right?

That's why Rhode brought Lilith along so that she could expose Lilith's lies.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

The morning sunlight was blocked by the drifting clouds, and the light in the corridor was gradually fading away.

Rhodes' eyes held a complex expression as he awaited Felicity's next words, while Lilith pursed her lips, also anticipating the revelation of the truth.

Can--

Felicity simply touched her earlobe slightly with her hand, then smiled sweetly:

"Perhaps it was because they realized that the empire became uncontrollable without you, so they tried to become stronger and then disappeared."

click-

Like a shattered mirror, the whole world seemed so peaceful after those words were spoken.

However, Anning only noticed that Lilith's expression shifted from expectation to confusion, and then, after confirming what she had heard, it froze.

And finally, there was the gasping disbelief—

She strode in front of Felicity, grabbed Felicity's collar tightly with her hand, and then cried out in a trembling voice:

"Felicity...! What are you saying?"

“What are you saying? Isn’t it the truth?” Felicity laughed.

"Are you kidding me? I disappeared from everyone's sight to revive Rhodes! I told you that, I said it...!"

“Is that so?” Felicity ignored Lilith’s threat and just smiled. “But no one believes you, Lady Lilith.”

With a sudden turn, Felicity shook off Lilith's grasp, and her eyes turned icy cold.

Felicity stretched out her arms and stepped half a step to the side, shielding Rhodes like a mother protecting her child:

"I won't let you hurt Rhodes again. You only left because you realized that after killing Rhodes, you couldn't properly be a god of the empire without him, right?"

"They're just afraid your reputation has plummeted to its lowest point, and they want to use all this to cover up the truth—"

Snapped--!

Before she could finish speaking, Felicity was slapped across the face.

A burning sensation appeared on her right cheek, leaving Felicity frozen in place.

Yes.

Even though Lilith had controlled her strength well, and even though she had slapped him elegantly, the fact remains that she had slapped him.

Lilith had never looked so anxious.

After all, she had hardly ever been wronged in her life, and when the real injustice finally fell on her... everything seemed so foolish.

She lacked the shrewishness and ruthlessness of a shrew, displaying only the desperation and grievance of a young girl wrongly accused. With a hint of tears in her eyes, she roared:

"You think I killed Rhodes? I had no motive whatsoever, you know that perfectly well!"

"Don't you know if it's fake or not?!" Felicity, already at her breaking point from the stinging pain, gritted her teeth and retaliated with her outstretched hand—

Unfortunately, as a being who has been promoted four times, it is impossible for Lilith to easily deliver that slap.

Therefore, the arm was swung out, but it undoubtedly missed.

Even so, Felicity showed no sign of stopping, nor did she have any reason to suffer in silence. She reached directly for Lilith's hair and grabbed her blue strands tightly.

"Damn it!" Felicity's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Even though she knew she couldn't beat Lilith, she still wanted to vent her resentment.

It wasn't resentment over being slapped, but resentment over Rod's death.

"Let me go!" Lilith felt the stinging pain of her hair being pulled, which made her even more upset.

In almost two short seconds, the two were about to throw punches at each other, but in that instant—

"Stop it, all of you!"

Rod reached out and pulled Felicity into his arms from behind, then turned around to separate the two of them.

His eyes revealed an extreme calm, and he continued speaking:

"Both of you are wrong, so stop fighting."

Chapter 85: The Choice Regarding Lilith

“Felicity, my death has nothing to do with Lilith. I gave up on it myself.” Rhodes’ eyes darkened. “I’m sorry.”

"You two have both been misled by this mess."

"Therefore, there is no need to fight, and you should absolutely not fight in front of me. That was our agreement before."

Felicity was taken aback at first, but then she resumed her fighting stance.

"Luo!" Felicity cried out anxiously, grabbing at the hand that was trying to break free from Luo's control to continue fighting. "Are you really going to believe all the lies Lilith told?! In the end, even if you chose to die, it was because of her!"

"She's the one who makes you unhappy, the one who makes you feel all of this..."

Rod immediately covered Felicity's mouth and shouted:

"Stop. Right now, I only trust half of everyone."

He raised his eyes to look at Lilith, who was emotionally distraught, his feelings a complex mix.

This is the case.

Felicity's words were completely consumed by hatred, so they had become incapable of proving the truth, and were even just nonsense.

“Hiti, what you said is wrong. If Lilith really wanted to become stronger in order to consolidate her power, she would never have given up giving birth to new gods, much less giving up bestowing blessings upon her believers.”

Because this would completely reverse her original purpose.

Therefore, her disappearance couldn't have been for that reason; you're wrong.

Felicity's eyes flashed with panic as she realized that there was clearly a problem with her words, but even if she wanted to add something to persuade Rhodes, it would be useless.

After all, Rod covered her mouth tightly, preventing her from speaking any further.

“Yes, Rhodes, I didn’t lie to you, I…” Lilith’s face lit up with joy, but before she could be happy for even half a second, Rhodes abruptly interrupted her—

"Shut up too." His eyes were extremely calm, and this time his shout was even louder. "Both of you, quiet down and let me explain."

thump.

These words were like a powerful dose of medicine injected into the minds of Felicity and Lilith.

In just half a second, their chaotic emotions were instantly suppressed, and they stopped moving with dejected expressions.

At this moment, Felicity, who had been struggling, finally stopped.

"..." Rhodes released Felicity and looked at Lilith. "But no matter what, it seems that Felicity has no way of proving that your purpose in giving up your godhood was to resurrect me."

“Huh…?” Lilith was stunned.

"Because even if you weren't doing this to consolidate your power, you might have disappeared suddenly for something else, not for me, right?"

Rhodes spoke calmly, but directly stated the truth.

indeed so.

Is Felicity's statement false, but Lilith's statement true?

Obviously not.

Felicity's words were originally meant to prove Lilith was right, but in the end, Felicity's words were all false, so how could they possibly prove that Lilith was right?

Lilith understood the situation, her face froze, and her breathing became erratic. "How could I possibly have anything else to give besides you..."

"Who knows? Lady Lilith, who won't even say 'I love you'." Felicity interrupted Lilith again at this moment, sneering sarcastically.

"you--!"

"Stop." Rhodes stretched out his hand again. "I haven't finished speaking, so shut up."

Rhodes took a deep breath, overwhelmed with mixed emotions:

"But clearly, Felicity's words at least prove that half of what you said is true."

At least, you really did give up your divine position and empire, that's a fact.

Therefore, your words cannot be proven false at this moment.

Lilith was stunned at that moment.

What does "Rhodes" mean? Why bring this up again...?

"Rhodes, I don't quite understand..."

"What I mean is, I don't want to eliminate the possibility that you might actually be repenting for your past."

Rod took a small half-step back and leaned against the edge of the window.

At that moment, the wind gently caressed his face.

Although the sky was still covered by clouds, everything was so calm and peaceful at this moment.

He also understood that it would be better to let Lilith leave directly and deny the possibility.

But... when he thought of Lilith, who had broken down and cried last night, new distracting thoughts arose in his mind.

The reason he now dislikes Lilith is actually because he hates her [falseness].
