Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Back off?

What on earth are you doing?

Have you walked on the right path?

Is your choice really the right one?

All the doubts almost made her breathless.

"Give up..."

A voice suddenly appeared in her mind.

At the same time her spirit seemed to calm down.

"There's no need to work so hard."

'Just like before...'

"Give up..."

"Instead of persisting on the wrong path, it is better to give up everything peacefully... and enjoy everything..."

"Compared to my previous life...is this choice really worth it?"

'Or, is it really necessary to do this?'

Persistence does not necessarily lead to success, but giving up will definitely feel comfortable.

For some reason, this thought popped up in Theresa's mind.

Slowly, she couldn't help laughing.

"What a tempting voice..."

"It's just that I, Theresa, just like to say no to self-righteous people!"

At this point, Theresa couldn't help laughing.

It was Charles who "taught" her this sentence.

Charles used this excuse to severely bully her and Peroz a few days ago.

She had clearly rejected him seriously and told him that she and Peroz would never accompany him like before, and then Charles said those words with confidence, and faced the challenge amid their punches and kicks, and finally he succeeded.

With such memories in mind, Theresa felt that the emptiness around her didn't seem so scary anymore.

Even the depressed mood began to relax.

When a person's heart is filled with sunshine, darkness is not so scary.

Along the way, Theresa was thinking about how to take revenge on Charles for his "bullying" of her when she returned, and she thought of many ways to do it.

Unconsciously, the empty feeling disappeared and the light shone on her again.

Perhaps because she hadn't been exposed to light for too long, Theresa couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hands.

"I've never felt the light was so dazzling before..." While muttering to herself, Theresa slowly opened her eyes and looked around greedily.

Although it was dazzling, to Theresa, who had not been exposed to light for a long time, such a dazzling light was also extremely beautiful.

Then she turned her gaze forward.

First there was pain, then there was loneliness and emptiness.

What kind of test will come next?

Theresa pondered as she walked forward.

According to the plot of the story, will there be countless treasures? Or the throne? Or power or something else?

But nothing that Theresa had in mind appeared.

The road seems to have come to an end.

The strange landscape formed by countless cubes seemed to disappear, or slowly returned to its previous appearance.

Looking at the square of stone piles in front of her, and the altar-like building visible in the middle of the stone pile, Theresa hesitated for a moment and then followed her heart and walked over.

"So beautiful..." Looking at the colorful crystal necklace floating in the middle of the altar, Theresa felt her heart turn pink and couldn't help but reach out to grab it.

However, the moment she grabbed the necklace, Theresa felt something wrong.

After all...she is a lady who grew up in an aristocratic family.

Although the crystal necklace in front of me is beautiful, it is not enough to make me lose my mind and reach out to take it without considering any consequences.

Looking at the beautiful necklace in her hand, Theresa recalled how she had just felt.

It seems to be a feeling close to instinct, or one's body, heart, soul and everything have an urge to possess it and become one with it.

"What the hell are you?"

"A test? Or a reward?"

Theresa blinked her eyes and thought carefully.

Psychologically, she felt the test might be greater.

After all, generally speaking, shouldn't tests consist of three levels?

I've only been through two levels, and now this seems to be attributed to the level?

For example, the test of making choices?

But from her instinct and physical feeling, Theresa felt that this was a reward. After all, no one stipulated that the test must have three levels.

And Teresa was reluctant to let it go because of her body's desire for it.

Theresa was a little confused.

"It would be great if Rocks and Perozzi were here. They would definitely be able to give some good suggestions."

After all, one of them is powerful and the other has a family background in learning.

and many more...

If so, they don't seem to be able to offer any effective suggestions.

Because Rocks is so powerful, he will definitely touch her head and say: Since you like it, take it. No matter what kind of test or curse it is, I will help you solve it.

If it were Peroz: This kind of thing looks suspicious at first glance, and for an explorer, the gain is not important, what is important is the experience along the way. These things should be left to later generations.

While thinking this, Theresa smiled and hung the crystal necklace around her neck.

Then there was a flash of light, and her figure appeared in front of Charles and Peroz.

-

Chapter 318 Chapter 198 Teresa is miserable~

Guessed it right...

There was a hint of a smile on Theresa's face.

After all, this is a ceremony arranged by Lady Doom, Ciel's former lover.

With her presence, the final test or choice can be considered a free point question to some extent.

While thinking this, Theresa strode towards where Peroz was and hugged her tightly.

She had originally thought that Charles would be jealous, but Theresa only saw a teasing look from him.

"You guy, don't think that just because you hug me now, I won't be angry about what happened before!" Peroz hugged Teresa excitedly for a while, then pushed her away and looked angry.

"What happened before? Do you mean when I kicked you off?"

"You can't blame me for this. After all, isn't it a bit too much to show your affection in front of me at that time?" Although it has been a long time - at least it has been a long time for Theresa.

But when she saw Charles and Peroz, those memories quickly came flooding back.

"I don't care about that kind of thing!"

"I'm talking about what you were thinking when you faced the test before!"

Theresa was stunned at first, and then she had a bad feeling in her heart.

Seeing her like this, Ciel smiled teasingly, "During the test, we can all intuitively feel the words you received and the thoughts that came into your mind~"

"She might have wanted to make our relationship more harmonious~ But she probably didn't expect that the person who accompanied you here was not only me but also Peroz~"

The smile on Ciel's face was filled with joy. Compared to the trials Theresa had gone through, Ciel and the others had only witnessed what she had gone through.

Before the ordeal was over, they worried about Theresa, but when it was over, the worry turned into teasing.

"I guess when she established this ritual, she wanted us to experience the same test in different places. However, because she didn't want me to suffer pain, she ultimately chose to make the test a single event."

Theresa's mouth twitched slightly.

If possible, she wanted to punch Ms. Doom hard.

After all, the tests didn't matter. To bear the power, one had to have a certain level of awareness and willpower. Compared to the power she could inherit, the tests she endured were too insignificant.

But...it's embarrassing enough to be seen by others during the assessment, especially by your good friends and lover.

Her feelings when facing the pain and torture were fine before, but when she saw the test of emptiness and loneliness later, Teresa's performance was enough to make her feel ashamed.

"Ahem, ahem, what I, Theresa, love most is to say no to those self-righteous people!" Peroz imitated her and said loudly.

Theresa's face turned red.

"Hmm... I thought you'd have something more amusing to tease her about."

"For example, the way she secretly planned to take revenge on me~"

"I have to say some of these methods are quite imaginative. I think with a little bit of modification they can be quite impressive."

Theresa felt her body temperature rising, and she had the urge to faint right now.

"Tied me up and stripped me naked, then made Peroz dance...in front of me?"

"I think it would be even more uncomfortable for me if you danced with Peroz~"

Peroz, who originally felt a little sorry for Theresa, thought of some ridiculous things Theresa had thought of before and stood on Charles' side again.

"It was you, the bastard, who wanted to take revenge on him, so why was I the one who used similar methods?"

Theresa came up with many "genius" ideas, such as tying up Charles and making Peroz dance, but the protagonist was mostly Peroz - it was embarrassing to think about such things, and as the protagonist who fantasized about these things, Theresa would definitely not put herself in the role.

"I...I wanted you to feel a sense of involvement."

"After all, you were also angry about what Rocks did before, right?"

Theresa forced herself to explain.

In fact...that kind of thing really makes them angry.

As nobles, although they had heard of similar things before, they were still embarrassed and annoyed when it actually happened to them, especially when the people around them were their good friends.

But the anger didn't last long. After all, there was a little romance between the couple and Charles kept saying nice things to beg for mercy.

No matter how strong the anger is, it will dissipate quickly.

The reason why he kept thinking about this matter during the assessment was that Ciel always promised himself that he would never make the same mistake again after the fact - but his promise never worked.

Therefore, it is normal for Theresa to have some resentment.

What's more, it would be more interesting to think about such things. In an empty place, those fun things would keep her going longer.

But back to reality, those past interests make her feel socially dead...

"I didn't expect that what happened before would make you so angry~"

"So I'm willing to bear the punishment." Ciel said with a heavy face, but this heavy face didn't last long before he said with joy, "I think a few of these methods are good. We can try them tonight... or now."

"Of course, to prevent Peroz from feeling abandoned, we can add hers."

Rocket Headbutt!

Without any hesitation, Theresa, who was already on the verge of fainting from the pressure from the two men, gritted her teeth and rushed towards Charles.

Peroz, who was standing by, not only did not stop them, but watched the fight between the two with interest.

"Don't just hit me, Peroz also laughed at you just now~" Charles teased while dodging.

"She was just teasing me, and you wanted to bully me after teasing me!" Teresa said angrily.
