The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Marina lowered her eyes slightly, her very creepy dark pupils were full of pity and tenderness.

"His past life made it impossible for him to love someone wholeheartedly. In addition to love, he also had many burdens in his heart that he could not unload. So in the same way... he did not accept and did not believe that someone would love him wholeheartedly."

"And this is exactly what got Mr. Anser into trouble."

She looked at Hitana, who felt at a loss as to what to do at that moment. Marina seemed to be questioning something, or making some kind of announcement or judgment silently.

"Mr. Anser clearly had a burden that he could not unload, but he allowed the person he loved to not love him wholeheartedly and to the utmost, and allowed the person he loved to pursue other things. However, the things that the person he loved pursued would cause him pain and suffering, but because of that principle, he did not blame the person he loved, but silently gave them support and help, and thus fell deeper and deeper into trouble."

"So I understand, Mr. Anser... He lacks someone who can love him wholeheartedly. He needs someone like this to help him. He needs someone who can love others regardless of everything and walk with him."

"As for this awakening..." Marina smiled at Xitana, "It was in the Castle of Strife, after you, Miss Xitana, asked me those fierce questions. It was you at that time that made me understand... that you would influence Mr. Anser's choice because of your own thoughts, and both you and Mr. Anser took it for granted, a matter of course that was destined to cause Mr. Anser torment."

At that moment, Marina not only realized the importance of strength from Sitana's words, but also realized that Sitana's "willfulness" and Anther's "indulgence" would doom Anther to a difficult predicament.

So Marina joined Shadow Marsh, the organization that was supposed to give everything for Anser, but Marina found that she had made the wrong choice.

Even Shadow Marsh was fundamentally moving forward for the path in his heart, which made her understand even more... Not only his lover, but there was no one around Anser who was willing to devote everything to him without reservation. It was not that there could not be such a person, but that Anser did not want such a person to exist.

"Ms. Sitana, I love reading."

Suddenly, Marina started a topic that had nothing to do with the present. Her gaze passed over Sitana's shoulder, as if it fell on the entrance to the core of the sacrifice, or as if she was looking at the long road she had walked.

"Reading is my only chance to change myself. Knowledge is the food that Mr. Anser gave me for free to transform me... I have no talent or endowment, so I can only study desperately and read as much as I can to make my originally gray life meaningful and full of brilliance."

"But I found that even reading and studying as an ordinary person like me is difficult to be comprehensive... Mr. Anser's collection of books is too many, and in his vast ocean of knowledge, I am just a lost jellyfish, drifting with the flow."

Her voice was very soft, and even though that hoarse voice could never be restored, to Shitana now, it sounded no different from her sister's voice in the past, so soft and warm.

"From that time on, I understood that I, an ordinary person, must make choices and must make...trade-offs."

In this gentle voice, she spoke words that shook Xitana's heart.

"Because I am just an ordinary person, I am just a mortal, Xier. I have no talent. If I want to gain something, I am destined to give up something."

"You think... I am abandoning myself, I am abandoning my own existence, and I am destined to be a waste abandoned by Mr. Anser, right?"

Not just Sitana, but everyone who has seen Marina and knows what state she is in, all think that this is destined to be Marina's end - a person who does not cherish herself, who pursues love as humbly as dust, is ultimately destined to be treated like dust, a consumable.

But Marina...never saw herself that way.

"I told you, I am... the only one."

The woman slowly smiled, but that madness at this moment did not make her look crazy at all. Instead, it was so spirited and so... beautiful!

"I am the only woman around Mr. Anser who truly loves him with all my heart."

"I will never be a defective product, because no one in this world has the courage like me, and no one has the awareness like me, even if I will be ruthlessly abandoned, I will still bet everything to love Mr. Anser."

Yes, when everyone knows that Ansel hates and will not accept someone who gives up everything to love him, who would be willing to love him at all costs?

And if I don't have this awareness, how can I become the only one by Ansel's side, supporting him wholeheartedly?

Marina can indeed sacrifice everything for Ansher, but in her eyes, her importance is second only to Ansher, because she is the only one, the one who will never appear again in this world, who has the awareness and courage to give up everything, the love that has never been infected by the devil, and finally the love that recognizes Ansher's predicament. She has three kinds of love... the absolute only one!

“So, Mr. Anser’s sermon had an impact on me, but it also had no real impact.”

How can I do everything for Anser? That is to do everything to the best of my ability. But how can I do the best for Anser? Of course, only I, the only one who can truly do everything to realize Mr. Anser's vision, can help Mr. Anser the most!

Because the fact is, Anther really needs someone who can support him unreservedly, trust him, not care about his own demands and visions, and do everything for Anther, to push this young man who is already in torment and dilemma to continue on the path he insists on - if evil needs to be done, then do it without hesitation, if destruction is to be done, then destruction should be brought down without mercy. If Anther can't do all these, then this person who can give everything for Anther will do it... and practice all of this!

This firm belief, made the influence of the sermon "addiction to Ansher" even stronger for Marina's faith, because she firmly believed in her own uniqueness and specialness, and the facts also proved her uniqueness and specialness, so only when no other existence can help Ansher, Marina will choose to sacrifice herself without hesitation, and under any circumstances... she will never abandon herself and regard herself as something that can be discarded.

Because I am the only one, I can help Anser to the greatest extent; because I want to help Anser to the greatest extent, I must firmly believe that I am absolutely the only one.

This repetitive determination even conquered the Devourer King - Marina only placed herself below Anser. Apart from Anser, in her heart, even the Devourer King could never play a greater role than her.

"Mr. Anser doesn't love me now, but so what?"

"Can I win Mr. Anser's love just by following him around and writing materials and submitting reports?"

——Having no ideals, no beliefs, and giving up the self... This is what those high-ranking bigwigs despise, what those idealists pursuing morality disdain, and what the brilliant heroes try to save.

"That's why." She walked up to Sitana and announced excitedly, "I want to use my own strength to make Mr. Anser fall in love with me... No, I want to take away all of Mr. Anser's love!"

But the best weapon is Marina Lancemalos, a mortal!

"It's just that you don't love me now, it doesn't matter, I don't want to become a burden to Mr. Anser at this time."

"But... after everything is over, after Mr. Anser's enemies are annihilated, and after everything goes as Mr. Anser wishes..."

The black lines on Marina's face no longer looked ferocious or enchanting at this moment, but instead held an indescribable wonderful charm.

Finally, a sly and sweet smile appeared on her face:

"Do you think I will do everything in obscurity? No, I will let him see my dedication, my sacrifice, my determination, and I will also let him see the victory I bring him!"

Even the words "You don't love me" were the truth that Marina said to help Ansel, and they were also part of the plan - Marina saw with her own eyes how shaken Ansel was after hearing these words.

"When everything is settled, I will personally take away all of Mr. Anser's love!"

Miss Hero, all the glory goes to you.

And Mr. Anser... please let me, a stupid, despicable, unscrupulous woman who only knows how to fall in love, accept it.

Marina Lancemalos, she has never let go of the burning love in her heart, nor has she let go of the greed and ambition recognized by Ansel.

She just recognized the only way to win Ansel's love, and embarked on her journey without hesitation.

This is not the end of the road for a woman who has given up everything.

Rather, it is the starting point of a madman who dreams of defeating heroes and calls himself a mortal.

Xitana stared at Marina for a long time. After a long period of contemplation, she said seriously:

"So, Marina, you have done all these things, but they were never influenced by Anser. They were always...completely out of your own heart, right?"

"Yes."

The witch said frankly: "This time I'm not acting, but really. I am such a narrow-minded and despicable person, with short-sightedness. I can do anything when I see the man I love. I am an idiot woman who is despised by everyone and cannot please anyone."

"I see..." Sitana lowered her head slightly, "In other words..."

boom--!

A deafening roar echoed in the space. The wolf, with his fists clenched, slowly raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "I can do it without showing mercy, right!"

Although she said this, the tip of her nose was red, her eyes were still watery from the tears she hadn't had time to wipe away, and even her tone sounded forcedly fierce.

"I will never...suck...I will never hand Anser over to a bad woman like you!"

The stubborn Miss Wolf pinched her nose hard, trying to hold back her tears, and shouted angrily.

"So in the end..."

Marina, who was sent flying dozens of meters away by a punch, sighed and dispersed the shadow that enveloped her: "After all, we are on different paths and are bound to have differences, Xitana."

"I will be strong enough to help Anser solve all problems without you having to resort to any crooked means... You can only dream of taking away all of Anser's love!"

Xitana clenched her fists and widened her red eyes: "I won't leave you anything... I can only leave you a little at most!"

"I'm so sorry, if I had the upper hand..."

Marina narrowed her eyes slightly and raised her index finger. The shadow instantly turned into a sharp blade and directly cut a bloody gash on Shitana's shoulder.

Facing her sister's incredulous gaze, she chuckled and licked her fingertips.

"I won't leave any for you, Sitana."

"You...are you serious?!"

"You don't seem to be here for fun."

"Marina!!!"

"Hehe... Don't lose too badly, Sitana."

boom--!

Above the sky, there were more than ten kinds of destructive elements entwined, and a giant sword as big as a mountain cut through the sky, slashing down at the monster transformed from Ivora!

"An…ser!"

The mad monster kept screaming Anther's name. Before the giant sword extended from the mechanical deity's arm blade could be cut down, the burning light on the blade had already melted the snow like a hot iron, dissolving and annihilating the swollen and deformed flesh and blood.

Amidst the shrill howls, the deformed ball of flesh was cut into two pieces by the ex machina's sword, but the strange thing was that even though it had been cut in half alive, the two pieces of flesh were still "stuck" together, slowly squirming and merging into one again.

"Did you see that, A Luo?"

Ansher narrowed his eyes slightly, and the Iron Demon's pupils, which were flickering with black light, also stared at the part of the deformed monster that was sticking out from the crack, staring at the golden chains that locked it tightly and could not be freed.

"I saw it." Ming Fuluo responded calmly, "The entire deformed part has been pierced by those chains... Are the chains giving it power?"

She did not ask Anser where the ether came from at this time. Although she already had some guesses in her mind, now was not the time to talk about it.

Since one problem has been solved, if Anser wants to win now, she will let Anser win.

"It's something connected by chains."

Anser, who was driving the mechanical deity, relied on the extended perception provided by Ming Furo to explore the deeper part of the rift. He found that there was no more Feasting Flame in the rift, only the golden skeleton was still floating silently in the void.

Ming Fuluo naturally discovered this unknown object. Sitting in Anser's arms, her expression changed slightly: "Is this what you said... the Skeleton Throne?"

The deformed tumor howled and spewed out a ball of red-black molten magma, which was instantly destroyed by the snake-mouthed cannon on the chest of the ex machina. The black light, which was very similar to the black sun that Anser had summoned before, directly annihilated two-thirds of the tumor. At this time, Ivora, who was embedded in the front part of the tumor and sleeping, suddenly twitched his face, and the flame of feasting ignited without warning, almost instantly healing the wound caused by Anser.

Anser calmly felt the endless supply of ether. At this rate and quantity... he no longer had to worry about the battle in the next fifteen minutes, so he did not rush to continue swinging the giant sword in his hand. Instead, he asked Ming Fuluo, "Can you analyze what it is?"

"Already here, wait..."

An enormous light screen unfolded in front of Ansher in the cab. The data system was running at full speed, rapidly listing extremely complex data in terms that only Ansher and Ming Furo could understand.

But after just a few seconds, a solemn look appeared on Ming Fuluo's face. A huge stream of data was still flashing on the light screen, but no useful answers were obtained.

"The elements it holds are unknown, the characteristics of its existence are unknown... All of this cannot be analyzed. How is this possible!"

She did not rely on her own strength, but in the state of being one with Anser, she used the power of the Head of the Abyss to manipulate the elements controlled by Anser! No matter how mysterious this skeleton is, it should not be possible to see the depth of it.

...It is indeed fate's trump card, and Anser must get the information about it no matter what.

In this case, she should try her best to analyze the details of this skeleton. If that is not enough...

Since it absorbs everything in existence, if we use Nidhogg to absorb it, and attack it from the inside before it is completely devoured...

Ming Fuluo took a deep breath and turned to look at Ansel, but before she could speak, Ansel gently placed his hand on her head.

"go a head."

Anser's voice was soft and gentle, while Hydra's voice was majestic and solemn.

He knew what Ming Fuluo was planning to do, and this time, he was not just responding as Anser.

At this moment, Ming Furo felt the power of the bond connected to her soul surging excitedly, a resonance that was completely different from the intimacy between her and Anser on a daily basis.

Ming Furo knew that something must have happened to make Ansher change his mind, but now was not the time to talk about it. She gently held one of Ansher's hands, closed her eyes, and slowly spread Nidhogg, which carried her own fragmented soul, to her spine, which was like a chain.

"Anser!!!"

While Ming Furo was trying to further analyze the skeleton, the deformed monster was still madly attacking the ex machina. Its body had crawled out a little bit, still a piece of twisted and deformed flesh and blood, with various limbs scattered all over its body, huge dragon claws, twisted arms... Now it seemed that this monster itself was a huge "flesh worm".

At the front end of the flesh worm, Ivora, who was embedded in the flesh with only his face exposed, was still missing.

"Noisy."

Ansor frowned slightly, and the dark steel demon indifferently raised his left arm wrapped around the snake head and blasted it into pieces with a single shot. Just like before, it also relied on the burning flame of feasting to quickly recover its swollen and deformed body.

Ming Furo analyzed the golden skeleton, and Ansher naturally focused his attention on the monster that was deformed from Ivora's body.

Using the fire of Feasting Flame to heal wounds is the basic method of the Feasting Flame royal family. In other words, this twisted flesh worm now has the abilities of the Feasting Flame clan?

Even if this mass of flesh and blood grew out of Ivora's body, it looked like another species no matter how you looked at it. It was not Ivora at all. How could it possess the power of the Flame-Feasting descendants?

What kind of monster did that golden skeleton transform Ivora into?

The halo that unfolded behind him emitted endless grey particles that floated into the sky, and then transformed into tens of millions of light beams like a thunderstorm, bombarding the fleshworm that was crawling out of the cracks bit by bit. The further it crawled out, the more obvious the golden chains that were entangled and embedded in its body became... However, although that thing was called a chain, it was actually just the spine of the golden skeleton.

“■■■——!”

This insane and twisted monster seemed to be roaring at the same time because of the face embedded in its flesh and blood, making its roar completely meaningless, but the strong hatred directed at Anser was absolutely consistent and distinct. The souls of all the top extraordinary people killed by him seemed to be entangled in Ivora's deformed flesh and blood, and at this moment they roared at this despicable and vicious conspirator, eager to cleanse the irreconcilable blood feud and resentment.

The next second, its flesh and blood suddenly burst, and an equally deformed monster flew out from the bloody crack.

It was a dragon with its skeleton and flesh turned inside out, and two tumors on its neck that looked like heads.

This dragon was only three or four meters long, which was considered a young dragon even among the sub-dragon species. It was as small as a reptile in front of the mechanical deity. Any beam of light from the sky could shatter it, but Ansher did not do so. Instead, he watched it stagger and crash into the iron-glowing shell.

When the flesh and blood of this deformed dragon exploded and splashed on the armor of the ex machina, it instantly began to spread and multiply wildly, trying to devour Anther's most trusted demon god, but this was of course in vain.
