I let the genie out of the bottle

In the days following his battle with Athena, he devoted himself to deciphering the rules within the divine power he had absorbed.

Although progress has been slow, it has still yielded some results.

Once he has made some progress on his own in terms of the rules, with that as a foundation, he can absorb the knowledge that comes from Mozlis.

Of course, the proportion of the rules obtained from the little devil in the total number of rules that Lu Ye has mastered cannot be too high.

This was something that Mozlis brought up herself.

She raised her hand to smooth her silver hair, her feet slightly floating in the air as she moved a little closer to Lu Ye.

Then, she closed her eyes slightly and pressed her forehead against Lu Ye's.

Her small horns did not hinder their movements.

"You'll only realize that rules are everything when you reach a certain level."

As she shared her knowledge, she smiled gently and spoke softly.

"In comparison, energy is just a minor detail. One day you will find that taking the energy in your body from one to infinity is just a matter of turning your hand over."

“However, I seem to be quite far from that level, don’t I?” Lu Ye said. “For me right now, improving my strength through ‘energy’ is far faster than improving it through ‘rules’.”

"That's true," the loli demon replied noncommittally.

Come to think of it, there aren't many opportunities to face this loli demon directly like this.

Although it's supposed to be my own mental world, I don't seem to enter here willingly each time.

Thinking about it this way, although it is my own mental world, it is really hard to say whose territory it is.

Although one can usually see the phantom of the little devil, one can never actually touch it.

This time, upon entering the spiritual world, both of them were in a spiritual state, which allowed them to make contact.

The direct contact between their spirits gave Lu Ye a faint illusion of "becoming one," as if the two had already connected.

The knowledge the little devil possessed was directly transmitted into his consciousness, filling him with secret joy.

At the same time, the fusion of spirits is like being wrapped in something soft and fragrant, which makes people feel somewhat intoxicated.

Since arriving in this world, my tense mind has involuntarily relaxed.

"That's enough."

The gentle voice pulled Lu Ye back from his dazed state.

The strange state between the two, or rather, the connection of their consciousness, was unilaterally severed by the little devil.

Mozlis's eyes were inexplicably watery.

The hearts of the people intertwined, and even their souls seemed to be intertwined.

In that instant, Lu Ye inexplicably thought of two words from a web novel he had once read.

Spiritual communication.

"If this continues—"

Her slightly parted, cherry-pink lips seemed to have a slightly crystalline sheen.

Even Lu Ye, who always believed in "caution" and "cowardice," couldn't help but feel a subtle impulse and subconsciously wanted to lower his head and taste it.

Then, she said.

"If you continue to indulge in this, your consciousness might dissipate."

Oh hoo.

Lu Ye's somewhat hazy consciousness instantly returned to normal.

I can't afford to offend them, so I'm taking my leave.

Even though it was just a wisp of consciousness, its level far surpassed that of Lu Ye, the so-called "Demon King of the Earth" in this world.

Thinking about it this way, it's like the so-called saint, who can crush the heavens with a single hair.

The gap is really too big.

The feeling of souls meeting is intoxicating, but if the price is "consciousness will dissolve," then forget it.

However, such opportunities for the two sides to come into contact with each other are not many for Lu Ye.

Although neither of them are physical entities, Lu Ye sees them as almost identical.

Perfect timing! I can't miss this opportunity to do what I couldn't do last time.

So, almost subconsciously, Lu Ye grasped one of Mozlis's small horns with one hand and gently stroked it.

"I don't quite understand why you pay so much attention to your physique."

As she said this, she didn't seem to care much about physical interaction.

At this moment, the little devil's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression looked somewhat... docile.

"It's probably because I'm a member of the 'looks-matter' club."

Lu Ye said casually.

He once analyzed his own thoughts, wondering where his possessiveness towards the little devil came from.

Because at that time, it was the only thing that could truly belong to me.

But the initial emotion was simply that his appearance appealed to her.

"Come, let me see—"

As Lu Ye spoke, his free hand quickly moved downwards.

Chapter Eighty-Five: Let Me See!

"Come, let me see—"

As Lu Ye spoke, his free hand quickly moved downwards and reached directly into the tattered black robe of the loli demon.

Then, his hand moved quickly upwards, rapidly reaching the desired position, and he gently grasped it.

"Let me see if your tail is developing normally."

As Lu Ye spoke, he grabbed the little demon's tail.

I can't believe it actually exists! That's amazing!

Lu Ye touched the tail in his hand, feeling the texture of the tiny scales on it, and his eyes lit up slightly.

Because of Mozlis's black robe, Lu Ye wasn't actually sure if she had a tail.

Only by touching it with my own hands could I confirm that there was indeed a tail hidden in her black robe.

Since it has a pair of cute little horns, a corresponding tail is naturally indispensable.

If not, then even Lu Ye would feel a slight disappointment.

Subconsciously, Lu Ye gently squeezed the tail in his hand, then lifted the somewhat cumbersome black robe and took the tail out.

Its tail is the same black color as its small horns, covered with fine scales that reflect a cold, eerie light in the sunlight, like a deadly dagger coated with poison.

However, it is precisely this thrilling combination of danger and sophistication that is most likely to ignite the deepest desires within people.

"Do you like it?" Mozlis tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and gave a kind smile.

“I really like it.” Lu Ye replied, focusing one hand on stroking the fine scales on the tail.

Incidentally, he gently bit each of her two small horns on her forehead.

Wow, it feels like a complete and blissful life.

"Hehehe~" The loli demon laughed cutely and said in a sweet voice, "Since you like it, then feel it properly from the deepest part of your body."

The voice just fell.

Her tail slipped out of Lu Ye's hand.

The fine, layered scales, as they glide across the skin, send a slight shiver down one's spine.

Then, the tail that had slipped from Lu Ye's hand slowly circled around Lu Ye's back, and then the tip of the tail emerged from his chest.

Then, she lowered her head slightly, and the horn on her forehead pierced directly through Lu Ye's neck.

Ouch... But I'll get through it.

Lu Ye, who was sitting at the table, slowly opened his eyes.

"Ouch! That hurt so much!"

Lu Ye reached out and touched the bottle in his arms, and immediately realized something was wrong.

Although it's a mental state, and the physical injury isn't directly reflected in the body, the pain when you're pierced is real.

"I'm sorry," Mozlis said, her head bowed and her eyes brimming with tears. "Or should I drag you in again so you can punch me and vent your anger?"

Lu Ye was silent for a moment.

If I go in again, the outcome will probably be the same as this time.

I'm scared.

I still need to be subservient to Mozlis.

But it's okay.

Lu Ye picked up a pot of black tea from the table and poured himself a cup.

Before I entered the spiritual world, the cup of tea was still scalding hot.

But by then, the tea had gone completely cold.

Moreover, judging from the sky, it was already past noon and approaching dusk.

The time I spent immersed in my spiritual world, or rather, merging with the consciousness of the little devil, felt short, but was actually quite long.

He held the Book of Enoch in one hand and softly recited incantations.

Then, a crack several meters long appeared in the room.

The Place of Repentance is the place God uses to imprison sinners.

At this moment, this ability is imprisoning a "sinner".

The crack, which could extend for tens or even hundreds of meters, was carefully controlled by Lu Ye throughout the room.

At the very bottom of the crack, the sound of chains rattling could be heard.

Then, under Lu Ye's control, a petite, pitiful figure, bound by several chains, was brought up.

Athena did not obey.

Due to the loss of her internal magical power, although she had long since regained her triune form, she had also regressed to her childlike state.

Several chains were used to bind her limbs, neck, and waist, and the magical power within her body was kept within a certain limit, which essentially eliminated any possibility of her escape.

Sensing the change in its position, the sleeping silver-haired goddess reluctantly moved its eyelids.

Then, he opened his pair of black eyes, as black as the night sky, and glared angrily at Lu Ye.

"You hateful compatriots, this is your victory!" The goddess, now a prisoner, gritted her teeth. "But as long as you do not send me back to mythology, one day I will break free from this cage and wash away this shame."

"Ah, so I'm not going to give you a chance to escape."

Lu Ye nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, the goddess was speechless.

Then, Lu Ye reached out and placed his hand on Athena's shoulder, absorbing the little bit of magical power she had managed to recover amidst her furious glare.

She initially wanted to resist, but the thought that resistance would result in her being knocked unconscious by a punch led her to silently give up.

"Are you truly one of my kind?" Feeling her painstakingly restored magical power once again being harvested by others, the goddess's face darkened, and she asked in a lifeless voice.

"No." Lu Ye answered calmly. At this moment, there was only Athena in front of him who had completely lost the ability to resist, so he naturally had no more concerns.

“I am not a god who does not obey, nor am I one of your fellow citizens.”

"I am human, just an ordinary human being."

Although he bullied Athena, harmed the honest angel Metatron, and manipulated Christianity, he was still just an ordinary human being.
