Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

Elena hesitated for a moment, but considering the existence of her other self, she ultimately decided not to continue trying to persuade her.

After lunch, Elise did not stay indoors but went outside Elira's mansion. After a casual glance around, she quickly spotted Estella on a rooftop.

Since her own people were nearby, Elise didn't keep her distance like before, but instead floated over to Estella's side: "Don't you get bored looking at me like this every day?"

“No.” Estella looked at Iris beside her, at the white dress she had given her, which was like a wedding gown, pure and elegant yet with a hint of allure.

Noticing Estella's gaze, Elise smiled and twirled around in front of her: "I really like the dress you gave me."

"nice! You love it."

Estella stared blankly at the alluring Elise, her mind drifting back to the moments she shared with Elise.

Thinking of how shy Elise looked when she first appeared in front of him in her wedding dress...

She initially thought Estella was captivated by her charm, but she soon noticed tears streaming down the other woman's face, and a hint of sadness in her gaze.

Elise instinctively reached out to wipe away Estella's tears, but she quickly realized Estella's instability and withdrew her hand halfway through.

"I know I'm good-looking, but is it really necessary to be so moved that I'm crying?"

"It's just that the wind got in my eyes." Wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes, Estella asked softly, "So, what brings you here?"

"I was worried you'd be bored, so I came over to chat with you. Aren't you touched?"

"A little bit."

"Since you were moved, then perhaps we could..."

Before Elise could finish speaking, Estella interrupted her: "No, I already said that I will only tell you what you want to know if you are the only one who comes to me."

Am I not a person now?

Estella didn't speak, but silently looked at a corner not far away, where a world-destroying hero was standing quietly.

Noticing Estella's gaze, Sera raised an eyebrow. She had clearly tried to make herself invisible, but the other party still noticed her presence.

"Alright, let's talk about that later. I'm a little curious now, if someone wanted to kill me, would you kill that person?"

"meeting."

Volume 1: Chapter 644 You Should Do It This Way

"That's good. I'm just a weak woman who can't even kill a chicken. I might need you to protect me then." Elise deliberately put on a weak appearance.

Those who don't know the truth might actually think she is a weak woman.

After realizing that Estella didn't react in any particular way, Iris stopped wasting her energy on acting and instead tried to subtly extract more information from Estella.

She even temporarily abandoned her principles and tried to act cute and coquettish, but Estella remained unmoved.

Elise sighed helplessly. The other person had just cried when they saw her, so why did they seem so heartless now?

Even she couldn't quite understand what Estella was thinking.

Although she didn't get the information she wanted, Estella had already promised to help her, which was a pretty good result. As for the reason, sometimes that might not be so important.

Just as Elise was thinking about what to do next, Elena also came out of the house.

She soon spotted Iris standing on a distant rooftop, and Estella sitting next to her.

Although Estella had healed her collapsing body, she hadn't forgotten the danger Elena had shown. Elena teleported warily to Elise's side, not saying a word to disturb the two, but already prepared for battle.

"Looks like our chat will have to end here for today. I'll come find you again next time I have time." 〓＾｀∞

As Elise spoke, she took Elena's hand, and without Elena even needing to say anything, Elena teleported Elise back into the house.

Elise, who had already teleported away, did not notice the bitterness that flashed in Estella's eyes when she held Elena's hand.

As Iris left, Sera, who had been secretly observing from the corner, didn't leave. Instead, she walked directly to Estella's side: "Your reaction is quite interesting~"

The tone was familiar, but the person wasn't familiar.

Looking at the curious Sera, Estella's eyes flashed with disdain: "Stop your clumsy imitation."

"No, after all, my soul has already taken her shape, and there's nothing I can do about this change." Although she sensed the other party's killing intent, Sera remained completely unmoved. In fact, in order to better provoke the other party, she transformed herself into the appearance of Elise.

Estella's killing intent, which wasn't particularly strong initially, erupted instantly after Sera transformed into Iris.

"Do you want to die?" With this question, Estella's alchemical array instantly covered the surroundings. With just a thought, she could instantly refine everything around her.

This conflict was similar to the last one, but this time Sera did not choose to confront Estella head-on. Instead, she transformed back into her original form: "I think I've figured it out. You're a die-hard fan of Elise, the kind who can't tolerate anyone disrespecting her."

"So why don't you just give those memories back to her? You should know she hates riddles the most, right?" Sera asked curiously, even using her world-destroying power to create a chair and sit there waiting for her answer.

"I know this without you telling me, it's just not the right time yet."

"Tsk." Sera, who possessed Elise's memories, also disliked the Riddler, so after hearing the other party's answer, she couldn't help but say, "I really want to grab you and lock you in the basement, and torture you severely."

"You can come and try."

The already strained atmosphere seemed to grow even more somber at this moment.

However, the two did not make a move in the end. After staring at each other for a while, Sera said impatiently, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to waste time here with you. I'm going back."

The world-destroying power that had transformed into a chair dissipated, and Sera yawned before turning and heading straight for Elira's mansion.

Estella remained seated on the roof, quietly watching the mansion.

"That's right, that's how you should live, using everything you can, by any means necessary."

“Shirley…”

Her faint murmurs vanished completely as the breeze swept by.

……

“You should know better than I do about the danger she's in. Approaching her so unguardedly, even with Miss Sera nearby, might not be able to provide timely support.”

Back at the mansion, Elena pulled Elise aside and began to lecture her, her expression very serious.

Elise, who was being lectured, continued to look at Elena with a smile until the other's voice gradually changed from high-pitched to low and eventually disappeared.

Elena glared at Elise helplessly. Knowing that lecturing was useless, she could only lean close to Elise's ear and threaten, "If you do anything dangerous like this again, I'll spank you until your bottom is swollen."

"Wow, I'm so scared." Elise said she was scared, but a hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes.

Even Elena was at a loss for words when faced with Elise's reaction.

Elise gently rubbed Elena's cheek: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. She won't lay a hand on me."

"Who can say for sure about these things? Anyway, if you want to see her again next time, you'd better bring someone with you."

"Okay, I know. Although you can be a bit long-winded when you're lecturing me, the way you care about me is really tempting."

Elena rolled her eyes, gave Elise's bottom a hard slap in annoyance, and went straight upstairs to her room. Rather than being teased by Elise here, she'd rather fight her other self in her dreams.

Back in my room, I drifted off to sleep.

Elena looked at the familiar burning church, then at her other self with lifeless eyes. During the last hunting war, she lost consciousness and couldn't see just how powerful her other self really was.

After the hunt, she tried to question the other person, but her other self was like a stone in a latrine, impossible to get any information out of her no matter how she asked.

Sensing her own gaze, Elena in the dream slowly rose and said, "Can't wait to die?"

"I was just wondering just how strong you were in your prime."

"Powerful beyond your imagination."

As Elena's voice faded in her dream, Elena instantly lost consciousness. When she regained her senses, she realized that she had just died once.

She didn't even know how she died, let alone react.

This despairing gap...

Even such a powerful version of myself couldn't protect her?

A hint of confusion flashed in Elena's eyes, but her gaze quickly hardened again. Having awakened many of her memories, she knew very well that she was already stronger than her previous self at the same point in time. If she continued, she would definitely surpass her previous self.

She will protect the other treasure that she failed to protect!

Volume 1: Chapter 645 Misguided Love

Whether it was because of Servis's reminder or not, Elise had made preparations, but several days passed and the white-haired man did not appear.

Although the white-haired man did not appear, Elise discovered the Nine-Headed Mother's favorite, who seemed to be wandering around the area intentionally or unintentionally. Her presence made Elise feel somewhat insecure.

She had considered killing him, after all, if Sera were to use her full strength now, she should be able to annihilate him completely in an instant.

However, the other party seems to have the ability to sense malice. Every time Elise has murderous intent, the other party will disappear for a period of time and then reappear.

Watching the pregnant woman shopping through the insect's perspective, Elise muttered helplessly, "Is she crazy? Why does she keep following me?"

“Who knows? I suspect it’s because you’re too charming that you attracted her.” Elira calmly took a sip of coffee.

"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering, isn't it?" Elise narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in them.

Sensing Elise's dangerous gaze, Elira twitched the corners of her mouth. She had gotten used to it now and spoke somewhat recklessly.

In addition, Elise is a particularly petty person. If I accidentally offend her this time, she will definitely try to provoke me again.

To avoid that situation, Elira decisively changed the subject: "Um, do you think the white-haired man might cooperate with the Nine-Headed Mother's followers?"

“That possibility cannot be ruled out,” Elise said thoughtfully.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I'm planning to go to the Church of Aphrodite. Does anyone want to come with me?"

Nora was about to raise her hand when she noticed that Elena had already gotten up and moved closer to Elise. She blinked. When did this woman become so proactive?

Seeing Elena approach, Elise slowly stood up and said to her, "Then I'll leave my safety in your care."

"Don't pretend you have no power to resist."

"I'm powerless to resist. If you hadn't protected me, I might have been..."

Before Elise could finish speaking, she was already being dragged out the door by Elena, who clearly didn't want to hear any more of Elise's hellish jokes.

After leaving Elira's mansion, Iris got into a carriage and headed towards the Church of Love.

During this time, she even passed by the attendants of the Nine-Headed Mother, who merely gave her a deep look but did not make a move.

Elise guessed that the other party must have sensed the danger, which was why they hadn't made a move yet.

Speaking of which, if Estella were to help me kill the Mother's Chosen One, would she agree to do me that favor?

Some time later, Elise and Elena also arrived at the Church of Love.

The place was as lively as ever, but Elise didn't care at all and led Elena directly into the Church of Love.

The moment Elena entered the Church of Love, she noticed that Elise beside her had disappeared.

However, she didn't mind, since it wasn't the first time she had accompanied Elise here.

At this point, all you need to do is find a suitable spot and wait quietly for her to appear.

On the other side, also in the Church of Aphrodite, but unlike the lively atmosphere at Elena's place, only Eloise and Iris were there.

Eloise, like a lovestruck young girl who had finally waited for her lover to return, even pounced on Elise.

However, Elise paid no attention to the enthusiastic Heloise and simply dodged away.

Eloise, having missed her target, looked at her heir with a hint of resentment, as if she were looking at a heartless woman who had seduced and abandoned her. A glint of tears even flashed in the corner of her eye.

Elise, who had already sat down, crossed her legs and looked at Eloise with indifferent eyes. At this moment, there was no trace of pleasure in her.

"Okay, okay, I won't act anymore. Stop looking at me like that." Eloise muttered as she moved closer to Elise and sat down, then asked curiously, "You must have something to ask me this time, right?"

"Yes."

"Waaaaah, I feel like I'm just a tool. You come to me when you need me, and then you abandon me here when you don't."

"Shouldn't you feel excited to be treated like this?"

“I don’t have that kind of fetish!” Eloise said, somewhat annoyed.

"That means you're not happy enough."

"I think your understanding of pleasure is too extreme."

Without continuing the pleasantries with Elise, Elise asked directly, "I came here specifically to ask if you have any connection with the Nine-Headed Mother?"

Hearing Elise's words, Eloise glanced sideways, not daring to meet Elise's eyes: "What, what relationship could I possibly have with Him? Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Elise didn't speak, she just stared straight at Eloise.

"Okay, fine, actually He does have some connection to me, but not in the way you think."
