I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

This is very reasonable reasoning.

but--

If this is true, then it means that I actually lost to a cross-dressing man in terms of feminine charm.

In the light curtain, the waiter was so breathtakingly beautiful, as if she embodied all the beauty in the world.

He left Ophelia speechless and suffered a crushing defeat.

"There's also a possibility that, like Xiao Xia, Rast also has a past life from the Sixth Epoch, and his memories have been suppressed, so his past life is the main thing..."

Dean Snow Ferret blinked his eyes, made a guess, but quickly shook his head.

It subconsciously denied this guess in its heart.

The reason is simple, it's just that Dean Yin has an inexplicable intuition in his heart.

Even if Rast really had a past life and awakened the memory of his past life... but when the two consciousnesses merged, it would definitely be Rast's current will that would ultimately take the dominant position.

This judgment came from Dean Yin's sudden glimpse of Last's soul. Beneath the gray mist, it seemed as if there was something sharp hidden that could pierce through the layers of disguise at any time.

Deep in his soul, there must be something deeper, like the core of a steam engine, driving the human body that has long been worn out and dilapidated by time to continue moving forward.

This is an obsession that even hundreds of years of stagnant time cannot erase... let alone, it's just a few fragments of memories from the previous life?

Even if Rast really had a past life in the old era and unawakened memories, on the day of his awakening, they would be ruthlessly devoured by his mind, just like a black hole that extinguished all light.

"If it weren't for my previous life."

"Then this kid pretends to be a girl... he must have some special purpose."

Dean Yin's eyes were deep.

Although his ability to gather intelligence is far inferior to that of Ophelia, a mechanic, Dean Silver has had longer contact with Last than Ophelia.

In a sense, Dean Yin, who has been with Last since he came to the world, may be the person in the world who knows Last best, even better than Hiltina.

Therefore, after the shock of the first meeting wore off, Dean Yin was actually not surprised by Last's behavior.

He was a natural actor...his experience in Deep Blue Harbor had allowed him to come into contact with and imitate the appearance of too many people.

He only needs to disguise himself, change his hairstyle and clothing, and then replace his personality mask... He can transform himself into another person from the inside out, even from appearance to temperament.

"From what I know about Rust, he seems pretty normal."

"But in fact, when it comes to his bigotry, even your sister can't compare to him."

Dean Yin narrowed his eyes. "The reason he pretends to be approachable and easy to get along with is simply because he thinks this is in his best interest."

"Compared to Tina and Shia, who clearly have flaws in their personalities, Luster's personality flaws are actually even greater than theirs."

"He understands human nature and is very good at exploiting it... but that also means that in his mind, there is nothing that can constrain or limit him."

It shook its tail and locked its sight on the light curtain.

If it were any mentally normal man without any special fetishes.

When people find out that they need women's clothing, they will subconsciously feel disgusted, or feel physically uncomfortable, or feel that their self-esteem is hurt.

But it was different for Rust.

"As long as the judgment is conducive to achieving one's goals—"

"So, for Rast, the values, concepts of good and evil, morality, and laws that ordinary people see are all things that can be completely discarded."

"His soul is empty."

"All that remains is that obsession that has been twisted over time... or perhaps it could be said to be the only wish."

Listening to Dean Yin's explanation, Ophelia's eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly.

"So, is that so?"

The surging undead metal behind her gradually calmed down, and Ophelia turned her gaze back to the light curtain.

"If that's the case."

"That is to say, Luster disguised himself as a woman and sneaked into the palace with bad intentions."

There was a burning look in those wine-red eyes.

"It really is. It makes people look forward to the future development more and more."

……

Within the light curtain.

Akshia, or Queen Helen's gaze also fell on the maid.

She looked at the clay doll in her hand, then at the figure in the distance.

A hint of confusion suddenly flashed in the dark purple eyes.

It's not just because of the other person's appearance, but also because he is quite similar to the clay doll in front of him that is suddenly bound to his soul.

It’s because——

When her eyes fell on that figure.

For no reason, a sense of familiarity emerged in Helen's heart.

It was as if some subconscious force was driving her to protect the other person during this period of time.

Helen tilted her head, letting a few strands of ice-blue hair fall.

She slightly extended her white index finger and tapped lightly in the air.

The next moment, it was accompanied by an ice-blue light.

In the open space below, the figure of the maid disguised by Rast disappeared.

Then, he suddenly appeared in front of him.

……

Luster felt the world around him spinning.

A breath later, when his vision became clear again, the surrounding scenery had suddenly changed.

From the original city-state scenery, it turned into a silent and empty palace shrouded in the dusk light.

In the center of the palace stood a throne that seemed to be covered in eternal frost.

And on the throne, a girl with long ice-blue hair was looking down at him condescendingly.

Axia?

Because the queen of the underworld has lived in the palace for a long time and almost never goes out, and the level of technology in this era has stagnated due to the catastrophe, the technology trees of the photo crystal and camera have never been pointed out.

Even the intelligence network organized by the Shore Guards across the continent knew nothing about the queen's specific appearance, and not even a portrait of her remained.

And at this moment, when he saw the girl sitting on the ice-blue throne before him...

Last almost thought that it was the student union president of Star University who came to him.

what happened?

Was it Axia who followed him into the Echo of the Era of the Last Night World?

But putting aside the fact that he did not enter with her, and according to Professor Barbarossa's introduction, it was clear that the Echoes of the Era could not be formed into a team.

and……

Rast raised his head slightly and met the gaze of the girl with ice-blue hair on the throne.

In those dark purple eyes that were identical to Axia's, there was now a flicker of curiosity and doubt.

Although their appearance and temperament are quite similar, this is definitely not how Akshia should behave after meeting him.

"Your Majesty Helen?"

The woman's voice broke the stagnant atmosphere of the two people staring at each other.

She was the head maid of this palace. The entire process of selecting palace maids was handled by her.

Previously, it was this head maid who led her into the palace.

As if she had noticed something unusual happening to Her Majesty the Queen, whom she served, she came to the throne and asked with some confusion.

Her Majesty Helen.

Helen.

Such a title also made Last's surprise lessen a little.

This is the name mentioned in the intelligence provided by the Shore Watchers.

The mistress of the underworld, the queen of the underworld.

He was also born with the relic of the god of death... the origin of all the disasters in "Paradise".

There are many possibilities for the similarities between Helen's face and Axia's.

Perhaps it was due to some special connection between them being members of the Death Order, or perhaps it was a simple coincidence, or perhaps it was due to some past life connection...

Or perhaps, the Queen Helen before her was Akxia's great-great-great-grandmother from the Sixth Epoch, and the similarity in appearance came from blood inheritance.

But, no matter what—

Even if the real Akshia stood in front of him, what he was going to do would not change in the slightest.

As Rust thought about it, he noticed out of the corner of his eye.

Beside the throne, in front of the head maid, a line of ice-blue text suddenly appeared in the air.

"The others... we'll talk about it later."

"Leave me alone with Him."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

The head maid responded respectfully.

She glanced at Luster and said, "It seems Her Majesty the Queen is as optimistic about you as I am."

"However, this is only natural... After all, whether it's your appearance, talent, or how you deal with people, you're impeccable."

"Originally, I thought that with your talents, being a maid was a bit of an understatement... But since His Majesty likes you so much, you should serve as His Majesty's personal attendant."

"Remember, as His Majesty's attendant, you must be prepared to sacrifice your life for His Majesty."

"If it weren't for Your Majesty, our peaceful and happy life in paradise would no longer exist."

The head maid whispered a few instructions before quietly leaving.

Soon, in the open space in the distance, the newly selected maids were led away.

In the empty throne room—

Only Helen and Luster were left.

……

"What's going on? Xiao Xia's memory was clearly suppressed, so why did she still fall in love with that guy at first sight?"

Dean Yin flicked his tail in confusion.

Even with the aesthetic taste of a ferret, Dean Yin had to admit that once Last got serious, he had a charm that was worthy of his status as the top gigolo in Deep Blue Port.

However, he is now wearing women's clothing after all.

Moreover, according to Dean Yin's understanding, Akshia's personality is not the kind of person who would be tempted by beauty.

Even though they have different life experiences, since they are the same soul, the origin of their hearts will not change, whether it is Queen Helen or Akshia.

"It's because of what you told her before entering the Night World, Little Snow Ferret... You asked her to protect Rust as best as possible during the Echoes of the Epoch."

Ophelia narrowed her beautiful wine-red eyes.

"According to my intelligence, she is someone who places great importance on commitment. As long as her soul remains intact, this nature will remain."

"Even in the night world, Axia's memories are only temporarily blocked, not disappeared. They still have a subconscious impact."

"For example, even though she doesn't remember anything about the real world or the night world right now... she still subconsciously wants to protect and help Luster."

Ophelia picked up the glass and looked at the scene in the light screen with interest.

The hero and heroine finally met, and she was very curious about the next direction of the story.
