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

Michael glanced at the Morning Star.

If the other person doesn't know you well enough and doesn't know most of your past, it is absolutely impossible for him to say such words.

Because he was certain that he would choose to be used "willingly" no matter what.

Even if you say this bluntly.

This also shows that Morningstar is confident that it has its own demands in hand.

An opportunity to choose...

The opportunity to take a completely different path.

"But you don't know me, isn't that enough?"

Morning Star took a step forward, almost completely close to the body that was trapped by chains and even had its palms nailed to the cross by wooden spikes.

With an almost frivolous tone and action, he gently lifted the long hair that covered half of his face.

Michael could also sense that this was a deliberate disguise that could be seen through at a glance.

To be precise, he was deliberately showing this side of himself in response to the question he had just asked.

Maybe... this is called teasing?

"Even if you really want to experience the 'pleasure' of being used by others, then just pretend you know nothing and let me use you quietly, or..."

As Chenxing spoke, he silently took off a ring from his hand and calmly put it on the middle finger of Michael's left hand.

"Try living a different life for once? Even if the result is the same, can't you just...put the blame on me? As for the guilt, don't worry. I have plenty of charges against me, and I don't mind adding a few more!"

Listening to Morning Star's words, Michael kept staring at the strange, even peculiar man in front of him.

A human who lets someone else, an angel, actively accept the power of the devil.

If it were in the past, Michael would just think the other person was crazy.

but now......

The crazy one should be me.

If I am not crazy, why am I out of tune with other angels and become the outlier who questions faith in his heart?

That’s right, the crazy person has always been myself.

Desire, doubt, and... even though it was only a hundred years of loneliness and confusion, it had already driven her completely crazy.

Otherwise, why would the more I looked at the human being in front of me, the more it seemed like I was looking at a real devil, a devil standing at the top and most conspicuous and unknown among all living beings!

Michael turned his head and looked at the ring on his finger that was carved with a lifelike eye.

That is a power that only appeared in the Age of Gods.

It is also a story of exploitation and being exploited, betrayal and being betrayed.

But this time, Michael was a little different.

Morning Star is not a so-called tyrant, and Michael will not become another one.

"Can I know...your name?"

Michaela withdrew her gaze. She could also feel that the power of the "Morning Star" in front of her was weakening little by little, and even her body was beginning to become unstable.

After all, the time is almost up.

Michael didn't have much time to think, but she didn't have to continue thinking about anything.

Is it to move towards the possible light, or to be "corrupted" in the dark corners.

Anyone, any race can make the choice at the first opportunity.

"Didn't I say that?"

"I mean, your real name!"

"Morning Star, just Morning Star, or... In the world where I used to live, there is also a legend about angels and demons. In that story, the word Morning Star has another name... Lucifer! I think this name... is quite suitable for you, don't you think? Miss Michael?"

Chapter 24 Fatalism

"Your Highness, are we just going to stay here... and do nothing?"

In the room on Blood Moon Island, Xila looked at Chenxing who was sitting in front of the window, looking at something, and asked curiously.

Since His Highness came here to cooperate with the Second Prince of the Holy Kingdom, there is no reason to let the Scarlet Prince carry out his own plan.

As for the eldest prince of the Holy Empire, Your Highness seems not even willing to take a look at him.

"Do? What? Is there anything we must do?"

Chenxing touched a ring on his hand, and the originally dim ring suddenly regained its brightness.

Looking at Chenxing who was smiling at this moment, Melody also felt a little strange.

There seemed to be... a familiar "smell" on the other person's body.

And the source of that "smell" was naturally the ring.

Melody also knew something about the magic item in Morningstar's hand.

Last time in the Forest of Elves, the other party seemed to have summoned a special clone with the help of that ring.

It's obviously supposed to be a clone, but the magic power it possesses is almost exactly the same as the original!

The most terrifying thing is that this is just the tip of the Morning Star iceberg.

No one knows what kind of "trump cards" the other party has in his hand.

It seems that there is really no way to fight against such a Morning Star.

Not to mention that it is already difficult for him to escape from Morning Star's control.

But at least...

"No matter what, I still hope you can think about it carefully. Since you can peek into my memory, you should have seen what kind of existence Michael is!"

Before she knew it, Melody even started using honorifics.

It was not just because she was praying to the Morning Star, but also because of a change in mentality.

Since you are powerless to resist, why not try...to make the other party change little by little from the inside.

Although she had not spent that much time with Morning Star, Melody also tried to have some simple exchanges with the people around him.

She also noticed that Chenxing's mentality had actually changed little by little to its current state.

Since things will change, maybe there is still a chance for everything.

At least the other party is not a very evil person, he just... used the wrong method.

What's more, isn't it my job as a "guide" to lead the adventers onto the right path?

But in order to achieve this, you must truly understand and be familiar with the other person.

This is also the only thing that gives Melody a headache.

She really...can't see through the other person at all.

But the other party can see through me completely.

How can we achieve this under the premise of such innate inequality?

Will it be the case that in the end...I have changed because of that person?

Although she was a little hesitant, Melody made a decision quickly.

After all, she had no other choice!

"Indeed, I saw it, but I think... your good sister is actually quite cute!"

Chenxing supported his face with one hand, and the smile on his face reminded Melody that this cuteness was not just about appearance.

This is naturally the situation that Melody least wants to see.

If Chenxing really just fell in love with the body, she could have stopped it by some means that might even involve sacrificing herself.

But if you think about it carefully, since Chenxing has come this far, how could he be the kind of person who only has those things in his head?

"If Your Highness wants to borrow her power, I...I can also help you complete your plan!"

Melody bit her lip.

Even if doing so might cause you to cross your past bottom line.

But this is better than Michael really reappearing in the world with disaster.

The disaster called hatred.

"You are too judgmental, Melody! Since you are her good sister, why don't you try to get to know her better?"

Morningstar shook his head.

Melody has always been like this.

This was true for the racial war that had taken place, and it was also true for the Adventers, even when it came to herself, and even when it came to her own sister.

In her eyes, there was a being who was defined as a demon just like her. He had been sealed for a hundred years because of repeated frauds. This demon should be thinking about revenge and hating the world.

Just like Melodie felt like she was going to destroy the world!

Thousands of years of experience have indeed given her vision and judgment that others do not possess.

But it also made her a little... trust this experience too much.

If this were a normal situation, if nothing unexpected happened, everything would be exactly as Melody had judged.

But the question is, can what is happening now be considered normal? Accidents... really never happen?

If that were the case, Morning Star would have accomplished its goal long ago.

How could they "dig deep" to uncover such a conspiracy that has been hidden behind everything?

But Melody doesn't think so.

Just like a "stubborn" person, will he "turn over a new leaf" just because of other people's persuasion?

"I'm her biological sister! I've been through this with her too!!"

"So...you chose to abandon her and took a path that was the opposite of hers!"

"I have no choice. Demons and angels are destined to disappear from this world, but humans are different from other races. They still have a chance, and still have... hope to survive!"

Melody lowered her head.

She knew that she had made the wrong choice, but even if she could do it again a thousand times, she would still choose to help humans fight against dragons.

All this happened because she opened the door to the starry sky. She must repay some debts.

"It's destined...Melody, oh Melody, if everything is destined, then what are you now?"

Morningstar shook his head.

He hated such talk.

Attribute all efforts and calculations to... fate, and attribute all reasons for failure to bad luck.

Luck is indeed a part of success, but it is also based on the premise that one has sufficient strength.

Just like Chenxing himself, as a special time traveler, he does have abilities that other time travelers do not possess.

But if any choice is made wrong along the way, what will be the result?

In other words, if Melody had noticed Isolde's strangeness, how could she have ended up becoming a "tool"?

"us......"

Morning Star sat up straight and looked directly at Melody in front of him.

"How about we...make a bet?"

"bet?"

"Since you firmly believe that demons and angels can no longer exist in this world because of fate, what if... they reappear?"

The corners of Chenxing's mouth rose slightly, which made Melody feel a little uneasy.

"Don't be so nervous. You have nothing to lose anyway. If they do reappear, I hope you can...think carefully about what I have said along the way!"
