As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

It's not just that I've been alone for too long and I don't know how to communicate with others.

Or... just simply curious about the human in front of me.

Possessing the powers of both an angel and a demon, just like herself.

Once an angel, but now considered a devil.

Michael wanted to go over to explain, but the power of the devil was real in her body.

Maybe...angels and demons come from the same origin.

But no one is willing, and no one will believe her.

People are more willing to believe what they see with their own eyes, even if they know that what they see may be false.

After all, for most people, they don’t care about the truth, they only care about whether they are on the “right” side.

"Of course I am afraid, otherwise the person appearing in front of you right now would be me."

Chenxing had no intention of hiding anything, nor was there any need to hide anything.

With Michael's strength, even if he can't recognize it now due to his condition, he will be able to see through it sooner or later.

Not to mention, lying to Michael now would not do him any good.

And such a nonchalant way of stating the truth obviously stunned Michael.

Some even... don't know what to say next.

The remarks and "insults" that had been prepared long ago had "nowhere to go" because of the other party's true statement.

After thinking for a moment, Michael and Chenxing looked at each other, trying to find something in each other's eyes.

"You're planning on... using me too, right? Human?"

Michael frowned, and it seemed that he just wanted to vent the hatred and anger in his heart.

A human being, the same human being as that scumbag, the same human being as those hypocritical people in the church!

Kill him, humiliate him, and return what he has suffered a hundredfold.

All kinds of distorted thoughts continue to grow in my mind.

After being locked up in such an environment for hundreds of years, not to mention Michael, even Morning Star himself could not guarantee that he could still maintain his sanity and shock.

The fact that he hasn't gone completely crazy is a sign of strong mental abilities.

However, Michael wanted to express it this way, but found that he couldn't do it.

It's not that she doesn't want to, but...

The Morning Star in front of him was not the real person, but just an avatar created with a special power.

Even if he was killed or humiliated, what effect would it have on Chenxing himself?

But I still have to stay in this dark corner, feeling my sanity and calm being eroded bit by bit.

Step by step, I am moving towards the side that I once hated the most!

An angel who always wants to prove that he is not a devil, ends up becoming a devil. How... ironic!

"Use? I do have this plan. I want to use your power to destroy something, such as... a very important chess piece for the church, or... this Blood Moon Island that has trapped you for hundreds of years!"

Chenxing openly stated the purpose of coming here.

He wasn't worried that Michael would refuse.

You want revenge? Well, I can give you a chance.

You want freedom, I can give it to you!

But the prerequisite is that you must do something for yourself!

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and Michael knows this better than anyone.

If Chenxing chose to take care of, comfort or even persuade like Yasasi, all he would get in the end would be questioning and suspicion.

As human beings, we always feel that others are coveting something from us, which we use to show off our own strength.

Even angels and demons are no exception.

Just like Lilith when we first met.

"Is that all?"

"Of course not. If I could...I would also like to dominate you and control you!"

"Dominate, control?"

As Michael spoke, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Should we say that this is true for humans, or should we say that this is true for all species?

Greedy and extremely greedy!

"To be precise, it's not just you. Be it angels or demons, I want to firmly control all of you in my own hands. The reason is very simple. I am a king, a king who is destined to control everything!"

Morning Star smiled.

It is said that greed is the original sin of mankind, but if a person does not even have greed and desire, what is the difference between him and a walking corpse?

Because we have desires, we do things with purpose and work hard to achieve the goals we want to achieve!

Even...using every possible means!

This isn't a bad thing, failure is!

"For the sake of my country, I must conquer and control. For the sake of the people around me, I must also become stronger and take all the power I can get into my own hands."

"What does that have to do with me?"

Michael closed his eyes.

My already irritable heart became even more agitated because of Chen Xing's words...

"Of course it is related. Aren't you curious...why you are confused and why you are trapped in this place?"

Having said that, Chen Xing finally brought up the most crucial topic.

In the original plot of the game, there is indeed not much information about Michael.

But based on the clues in his hands and Melody's memory, he could actually guess Michael's situation.

Although it was just a guess, Chenxing dared to take a gamble this time.

After all, even if he loses the bet this time, it would only be the clone that would be killed or trapped, and the worst that would happen would be that the ring would no longer be usable.

Not to mention, Chenxing has an ultimate trump card in his hand that can almost control all the "natives" in this world. Why wouldn't he dare to take the gamble?

If I really guessed wrong, that trump card would be just right to use on Michael.

But what if... the bet is right?

You can get a demon from ancient times without spending any resources or paying any price.

why not?

"I'm not interested in that kind of thing!"

Michael frowned slightly, obviously feeling hurt.

But precisely because it is a painful spot, Chenxing must poke it, and the more times he pokes it, the better!

"Really? Not interested, because you still want to maintain that so-called belief, still want to ignore the 'selfishness' that comes from desire? Or... are you afraid that after facing your own desires and cravings, you will completely become..."

"SHUT UP!! HUMAN!!"

Chapter 23 Your Name (Not)

"Don't be so irritable. Even if you want me to shut up, can you do it now?"

Instead of restraining himself, Chen Xing's smile became more and more obvious.

It seemed as if it was mocking her incompetence and self-deception, and it pierced Michael's heart deeply.

Did he still want to maintain that belief? Or did he not want to look directly at the wings that had already been dyed black?

Is it really me...who is unwilling to face my own desires?

Yes!

Michael knew better than anyone that it was because of his cowardice and weakness.

Because I... am unwilling to accept that I will become a devil, or rather, I have been a devil from the beginning!

The so-called belief is false, but the desire that should be abandoned has become real.

When you taste something delicious, you want to eat more. When you are upset, your emotions will get out of control. When you meet someone you love, you will be deeply attracted to him or her.

Angels…are no different.

This was all witnessed by Michael and the man who had deceived her.

They had seen an angel who had been hiding for thousands of years because she was pregnant with a devil's child, and they didn't even know that angels and devils had long become a thing of the past.

I also saw a seemingly kind old woman who was in the midst of famine, but in the end she showed her malice towards the two "beneficiaries" who chose to give them alms.

This is true for humans, other races, angels and demons, and even for gods. In the Age of Gods, there were almost endless wars and infighting.

Those who do evil seem to do nothing wrong because they have no choice.

What's wrong with people doing good?

The reality that I saw with my own eyes was too real.

It was so real that Michael could hardly accept it.

What is even more unacceptable is that what I have been insisting on and wanting to redress is indeed wrong!

Then what are the struggles of these years?

Michael couldn't understand it, and she would never understand it, just like she couldn't understand why she had helped the other party so much, but in the end she still became the other party's "stepping stone", a "tool" in the other party's hands!

Michael was silent.

She really couldn't do it, not just make the human in front of her shut up.

I also can't shut up the truest side of my heart.

"Did you come here just to humiliate me? Human?"

After a long silence, Michael finally spoke.

This was also the most confusing question for her at the moment.

If he wants to use me, he can just do the same as everyone I have met before.

Even if it was just sweet talk, Michael wanted to believe it and hoped to believe it.

But this human didn't have that.

Is this also considered... taking advantage?

"Why am I here? I've made it very clear at the beginning, right? Miss Michael?"

"Just to be clear, does that count as exploitation?"

"You really want me to use you in a false way? Can I just treat this as your...special quirk?"

Chenxing smiled. It was the first time he heard such a statement.

Or is it that this person in front of him, who should be on par with Melody, is secretly an M?

This is really intriguing.

"At least lies will make me behave well!"

"Will the truth not work?"

Chenxing's words also changed Michael's expression.

How could she not hear what the other party meant?

"You, recognize me, right?"
