The villain's way to tame the protagonist

He didn't say anything, so Ming Fuluo could only remain silent, while replaying the conversation she had with Xin not long ago in her mind.

There is no doubt that she did get what she wanted, and also blew away the Saint Lady's little tricks without leaving anything behind, but on the other hand, she destroyed Anser's plan.

Thinking back on her own thoughts, Ming Furo really couldn't feel that she was driven by fate in any way, and a strong sense of powerlessness surged in her heart.

"Anser..."

The silence lasted for a long time, and Ming Fuluo, unwilling to accept it, asked: "Originally, how did you plan to use that topic?"

Even though she felt powerless, she didn't want to waste her time feeling sorry for herself. Instead of regretting, she should think about how to avoid making the same mistake next time.

Ming Fuluo understood Ansher, but the devil's viciousness, which was unfathomable to anyone and forged in the battle against fate, could not be replicated by just understanding.

However, with her abilities, if she could grasp Anser's general idea, there might not be too much difference.

Anser could of course see what the strong-willed Ming Fuluo was thinking, but he did not try to calm her down. Instead, he responded to her question:

"A Luo, how do you think I will treat our Saint Lady?"

"Destroy faith and regain new life... a new life given by you."

Ming Fuluo put a heavy weight on Anser's head: "I am very familiar with it."

"You do have a say in this matter, A-Luo—don't bite me."

Anser, whose ear was bitten by Ming Fuluo, couldn't help laughing and said, "I have apologized several times, and in so many different ways."

Miss Scholar didn't respond to the dirty talk and directly changed the subject: "So I think your fundamental purpose, Anser, is to destroy Xin's faith in God in various ways...or, to replace the position of that illusory God in her heart."

"Hmm...it fits my idea very well. If the information was sufficient, Luo, you wouldn't have used that topic."

Anser stroked Ming Fuluo's palm: "So this is obviously not your problem, right?"

"…These are two different things. It's not like I have to get things done only if you tell me."

Ming Fuluo tightened her grip on the fishing rod. "If I can't do anything without Anser, then what's my meaning to you? A mechanical summoner?"

Compared to Shitana, who regards power as everything, Ming Furo has never positioned herself as a person who provides power to Ansor, but the greatest contribution she can make to Ansor is just to provide power. The more she recognizes the reality, the more difficult it is for Ming Furo to accept it.

If it were the old Anser, he would have comforted Ming Fuluo long ago. No matter what, he would first think about making Ming Fuluo feel better. But the current Hydra never did that. He looked out at the endless ocean and said softly, "Then let me talk about why the topic of faith and God can be used in a more appropriate place."

"A Luo, do you think that Xin is beyond redemption? As a fanatic, her will cannot be changed at all?"

Ming Fuluo thought about Xin's incredible logic that ignored reality and was self-consistent, and nodded gently: "Yes, so although I know that Anser will eventually destroy her will, I still can't think of...what you have to do to make such a person give up the faith that is equivalent to life."

"Don't you already know?" Anser said slowly, "Whether she believes in the gods or pursues the 'Assistant', this is the key to everything."

"My duty to protect the world..."

Ming Fuluo was stunned for a moment, then said in disbelief: "But isn't that her original path to becoming a hero?"

Ansel paused for a moment as he stroked the back of Ming Furo's hand. Although he was a little surprised, he was immediately relieved.

After all, she is A-Luo, so it is not impossible to deduce Xin's path to becoming a hero from this clue...

Anser had no specific memory of how Xin changed from a fanatic to a hero, but his inference was the same as Ming Fuluo's - the religious saint gave up her worship of God and placed her beliefs on a more grand level, thus becoming a saint for the world... It was probably such a transformation process.

Ming Furo was surprised that Anser wanted to replicate Xin's process of becoming a hero, because according to her understanding of Anser, now was not the time to be soft-hearted.

Normally, it should be [must destroy the other person and make him/her own] → [feel that the other person has more meaningful value] → [empathy arises for various reasons] → [her idea is actually not bad] → [doesn't mind a little more trouble] → [soft-hearted? What soft-hearted? ]

How come Xin fast-forwarded to the penultimate part, with only the final moment of stubbornness left?

Ming Fuluo knew very well that Anser would never like a woman like Xin, so she was even more curious: "Are you planning to make some changes in this process?"

"Xin will eventually understand that God is just a meaningless false symbol, but rules and order are real things that can change the world, so her process of becoming a hero is the process of abandoning the false and moving towards the real."

"In this process... Xin's understanding of the assistant should also change. After all, according to the original doctrine of the Church of the Holy Spirit, the assistant, um... even if Xin chooses this kind of thing, is not suitable to be a hero."

Ming Fuluo subconsciously asked: "So this 'assistant manager', what exactly is it?"

"balance."

"……what?"

"Balance." Anser smiled, "A fictitious balance."

At this point, Anser's tone actually became somewhat emotional. He did not ridicule the concept compiled by the Church of the Holy Spirit, but instead expressed a kind of appreciation from the bottom of his heart, or even... admiration?

*

It was not until nearly twenty minutes after Ming Fuluo left that Xin realized - hadn't he asked anything?

He clearly wanted to use Elalo to find out the source of Ming Furo's arrogance, but he was confused by her counter-question. Not only did he not ask what he wanted to ask, but it also messed up his own thoughts.

"It's weird..."

The Saint Lady looked at the silent Elalo and asked in great confusion: "Why would Miss Doll be so hostile to you?"

Elalo could only smile bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know either, Your Excellency the Saint."

"Is it because of your greed, Miss Chameleon?" Xin stared at Elalo, "Because your kindness comes from your greed, so she thinks you are not kind?"

Looking at Elalo, whose face turned slightly pale, Xin was extremely puzzled and said, "She doesn't seem like such a harsh person."

"… Your Excellency the Saint, I—"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Xin blinked her eyes. The brightness in her holy blue eyes was an intoxicating radiance, but also a cold light that made people repent.

Ella Luo wanted to say that Xin might have misunderstood something, but she knew that any of her words would be pale in front of this saint.

She had been a believer for eight years and was naturally aware of the power of a saint whose status in the church was equal to that of a bishop, or even slightly higher at times. The saint in front of her was undoubtedly the strongest saint of all time, and for her, there was no need for any excuses.

"It's nothing... Maybe I'm just too greedy." Elalo smiled reluctantly.

Kindness based on greed... This sentence exposed Ellalo's disguise and true nature. She felt fear and a kind of powerless resentment at the same time.

Resentment towards that extremely arrogant woman.

With the support of Hydra, she became the leader of the clan and possessed the most outstanding sorcerer talent in hundreds of years. Of course, there was nothing that she could not solve, but what about others besides her?

Didn't I do this with the purpose of changing the status quo? Is this method... necessarily despicable?

[You obviously have no ability to change anything! ]

Xin felt Elalo's anger and heard her inner voice.

ability……

She looked thoughtfully at Elalo, who was trying hard to hide the hatred in his heart, and suddenly thought of something.

Miss Wolf's anger comes from her desire for power. She feels that she is not strong enough and cannot do everything she wants, so she feels angry.

So...what about Miss Doll?

Is her arrogance also due to her ability?

Miss Wolf always feels that she is not strong enough, but Miss Puppet feels that she can do anything?

That's why she is so arrogant... Only someone who thinks they can do anything would be so arrogant!

Xin's eyes brightened instantly: "So that's how it is, so this is the source of Miss Doll's arrogance!"

"Ms. Chameleon, Miss Puppet probably doesn't hate you."

Xin realized this and immediately figured it out: "She is actually a good person, she just simply looks down on you."

"..."

The corners of Elalo's mouth twitched. What other answer could she make?

Look down on... Yes, of course she looked down on him. Mingfuluo Zeger had the ability and capital to make everything run as she wanted. If she couldn't do it, she would go to Anser. What else in this world could she not get? She did have the qualifications to look down on herself and anyone else.

Bone-gnawing jealousy, boiling rage, depressing laziness...dark emotions surged in Ellaro's heart, but she couldn't stop it, nor did she want to stop it.

If I were the one who had this ability, if I were the one favored by His Royal Highness the Regent...whatever she can do, I can do too!

Greed is the original sin that humans can never overcome.

What is original sin? In the education that Xin received since childhood, original sin is one of the most important parts of the co-education.

It is not because the glory of virtue shines because of original sin, but because original sin itself can never be eliminated.

But the fact that it cannot be eliminated does not mean that people will be entangled in original sin forever. Anyone who lives in this world that is cared for by God and maintained in balance through coordination has the possibility of having their sins eliminated.

Judgment, or... redemption.

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Chameleon."

Xin said softly, slowly placing his hand on top of Elalo's head.

The next moment, the eyes of the Grand Duke's daughter seemed to be covered with a veil, becoming dim and dark.

"It seems that this is the purpose of your sinful existence...reveal to me the source of Miss Doll's arrogance."

"Your sins have been paid for, and your greed will finally be put on the right path."

Elalo could see nothing. All she could see was a moon wrapped in thorns.

In her confused and hazy consciousness, she seemed to see... a small, almost unnoticeable thorn growing on the thorns that were entangled with the bright moon.

This thorn seems so insignificant among the dense and seemingly endless thorns.

Assistant is balance.

The existence of original sin is meaningful and will not change because of its evil nature. Even if a person is destined to be entangled in original sin, under the influence of the co-sponsor, it means that he has virtues or talents that are equal to this sin.

By analogy, a greater degree of cooperation means greater evil and sin, but also greater, correspondingly, beauty and hope.

And if these evils are to be presented in a harmonious and balanced state under the influence of the Assistant, then the sins must be eliminated - but the problem is that if the sins are eliminated, the same evils will still breed under the influence of the Assistant.

Therefore, this redemption is not a real cleansing, but rather... a transfer and a burden.

The evil still exists, but it is no longer possessed by the original person. He will be sublimated and transformed, and under the influence of the assistant, he will show the beauty that is opposite to the evil he once had.

Xin looked at Elaluo's gradually clear eyes and asked softly, "How do you feel, Miss Elaluo?"

"I……"

With a thud, Ellalo Osen fell to his knees.

She covered her face with trembling hands, tears streaming down her face.

"What on earth am I thinking, what on earth am I..."

Xin didn't say anything else. After all, she had seen this scene countless times.

Some people suddenly realize their mistakes on the spot, while others change quietly after a long time without realizing it. Every sinner who is redeemed and every sin that is judged represents a new life.

And this is her duty, the duty of the Holy Virgin of the Holy Church.

Accepting God's will, becoming a cog in the operation, bearing all the evil, and achieving all the good in the world... It is so great, so glorious that Xin is willing to offer everything he has to carry out his duty to the end.

*

"To be precise, it is part of the responsibility."

Ansher's casual words left Ming Fuluo in a long state of shock.

"Redemption of sinners is actually a small matter for our Saint. You have to know that in her worldview, assistance is a chain of events. Redemption of sinners is just a means. The ultimate goal is still what you said... maintaining the world."

"Does this kind of balance... really exist?" Ming Fuluo even doubted herself a little, because it did sound a bit like that, "and can her power really work?"

"I've already said it, this is a fictitious balance."

The devil, who understood the nature of the church, smiled and said, "It's just a rhetoric to let the saint fulfill her duties and allow the church to be established. In essence, it's no different from the God they speak of, isn't it?"

But at this point, Anser's expression became more serious and even solemn: "But even if it is fictional, the person who conceived this concept is an amazing genius, an amazing... lunatic."

Ming Furo had never heard Ansel give such high praise to others. Apart from his parents, probably only a few girls could be recognized by him in this way.

Therefore, she was particularly puzzled: "This... theory of the balance between good and evil. Is it worthy of your praise, Anser?"

"So that's why you and I are so similar."

Anser smiled and kissed Ming Fuluo's snow-white and slender neck: "Aluo, you made the same mistake as me. I thought so at first, but I soon realized that the balance created by the assistants of the Church of the Holy Spirit was not a scale with good and evil placed on both ends."

"It is a machine made up of countless different parts that form a perfect spherical shape."

"…Robosphere?"

This time, Anser did not respond to Ming Fuluo's question. He smiled and pinched the back of the scholar's hand: "What I told you before can be found in the scriptures of the Church of the Holy Spirit. With your talent, you can understand it yourself. But from now on, it is my personal understanding - Luo, do you really want to listen?"

Ming Fuluo shook her head almost subconsciously: "Then I won't listen, I..."

Under Anser's palm, she clenched the fishing rod tightly in her hand.
