The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Cecilia developed her own emotions; she began to understand anger and started thinking about how to fight back and eliminate that hateful existence.

Destroy that damned demon!

This belief persisted for centuries, keeping her fighting spirit as high as the blazing sun.

However, their strengths were roughly equal, and in each battle, their strength always increased in tandem, ultimately resulting in a draw.

If that hadn't happened, Cecilia might never have changed.

But after Cecilia witnessed everything that happened that day, things changed.

Her beliefs crumbled.

The ideals that had supported her for thousands of years collapsed.

The things that are said to be the most durable in the world are surprisingly fragile the moment they break.

Cecilia did not fall, because she was a purer being.

It was precisely because of this purity that Cecilia didn't even have the chance to fall into depravity.

Because she couldn't understand it.

I have absolutely no idea what happened.

why?

Why is all this happening?

Only doubts filled her mind, preventing her from making a decision.

In the end, Cecilia chose to leave.

She wanted to stay away from all the strife, away from everything that made her angry and in pain.

Only during the time she fell into a deep sleep did she silently ponder and search for an answer for herself.

Therefore, Cecilia chose to atone for her sins.

Use pain, use the wounds that tear at the soul, to stay awake, to alleviate the indelible anger and sorrow.

But even in the most desperate situations, she never felt fear, as if such emotions did not exist in her heart.

Cecilia thought she would never have a chance to understand, but now she realizes she was wrong.

Trembling.

Feeling the cold and terrifying pressure surrounding her that seemed to engulf her body, Cecilia began to tremble.

An uncontrollable tremor in the body.

She didn't understand, but she couldn't react in any other way.

Even if you know in your heart that this is just an illusion, and the other person is not the real Ariana, it's not a big deal.

But Cecilia still couldn't control the changes in her body.

"This is... the body of a mortal?"

Then, a host of unfamiliar physiological reactions occurred: my palms began to sweat, my breathing became rapid, and my hands initially felt dry...

Dongdong!

My heart started racing without me even realizing it, pounding like a drum.

why is that?

Feeling lost and confused, Cecilia wandered around, experiencing this unfamiliar sensation.

Eventually, she figured out what this feeling was.

At this moment, in this dream world where illusion and reality intertwine.

The former leader of the angels has now experienced what it means to be a angel.

【fear】

Before her lay endless darkness, a perspective Cecilia had never seen before.

The darkness that was once easily dispelled by the light emanating from her now seemed like a giant beast staring intently at her.

Watched by the darkness, she wanted to hide but had nowhere to go, and wanted to fight back but had no power.

This is the fear that comes from weakness.

And in this endless, deep darkness, a pair of scarlet eyes seemed to light up.

He was looking at her with a mocking gaze, enjoying her miserable appearance.

Then, Ning Feng's smiling voice rang out, his words carrying a hint of playfulness and emotion.

"Now, can you feel it?"

He slowly emerged from the darkness, stepping on the flowing darkness as he approached step by step.

Seemingly genuinely curious about her feelings, Ning Feng asked earnestly:

"How does it feel to feel powerless, to feel so helpless and want to cry for help?"

As Cecilia felt increasingly angry at being played, she recalled the times she had been tormented by that woman.

"anger?"

Have you ever experienced this kind of anger, born from helplessness and despair, of being controlled by others?

Ning Feng was standing just a meter away from Cecilia. If she broke free of her restraints, she could easily take his life.

But Ning Feng was not afraid of this at all and continued to add:

"Furthermore, I know that you can forcibly break through the blockade if you want to."

The accumulating, expanding power paused, and Cecilia heard it, and even the fear in her heart momentarily froze.

"This is the limit. I really can't stop you any further."

"So now... are you so angry you want to flip the table and just ignore everything?"

With a nonchalant smile, Ning Feng continued to provoke Cecilia.

"It's okay, it's fine."

"If you're willing to so weakly taste this humiliation, then so be it."

It wasn't even a particularly clever scheme; Ning Feng was directly provoking the angel.

“If I do that, I will look down on you.”

"Back then, in my eyes you were just a coward who would arbitrarily inflict his arrogance on others, and then angrily run away when he was the one being harmed."

His eyes were icy cold. Ning Feng neither stepped forward nor backed away, but stood within her reach.

"Either you break free and kill me."

"Either you experience the pain I've gone through, or you can truly understand it."

"Now, Miss Angel, make your choice."

Choose.

Make your choice.

At this point, it's no longer gambling.

Ning Feng's goal of setting a trap to lure Cecilia into has been achieved.

Now, what he's waiting for is her attitude.

Listen to their words, but observe their actions even more.

Ning Feng was very curious about what kind of person she was.

"........."

choose?

How to choose...?

Cecilia's trembling arm struggled to rise, then slowly fell back down.

She made her own choice.

The choice is to continue enduring this nightmare that would break any mortal.

After Cecilia made her choice, Ning Feng remained silent.

He watched silently as the angel's body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes flickering slightly.

After a moment of silence, he neither released the restraints nor intensified them further; he stood there with his hands behind his back.

After a long silence, Ning Feng slowly spoke:

"Do you know what? After I found out that you were the mastermind, I've been thinking about how to give you the greatest possible revenge."

Their relationship is unclear at the moment, but it is certainly more than just that of strangers.

Ning Feng remembered Cecilia's name in that pure white dream, and she seemed to understand Ning Feng's special qualities...

Furthermore, after reviewing the situation, Ning Feng discovered that Cecilia's actions were not malicious towards him; she was just a bit rough and didn't care about his feelings.

It was a bit excessive, but you can't say she's a bad person.

The current situation is somewhat awkward. The two sides are not adversaries, so Ning Feng cannot justify taking revenge at all costs.

But you made him lift it high, and then gently put it down?

Sorry, he can't do that.

Being vengeful is not something you can just talk about.

He still wanted revenge, but now he sought revenge on equal terms.

"The gap in strength between us is insurmountable, and I know that better than anyone else."

"So, I have to look for other methods."

Walking up to Cecilia, he sensed the fear gripping her and slowly exhaled.

"Perhaps because you've dealt with similar situations before, you seem quite familiar with how to respond to verbal attacks, and you don't react at all."
