The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Xin stopped talking. She originally thought she was speaking for Ming Furo, but after hearing what Ansel said, she had a very subtle feeling again.

It was... a feeling I had never experienced before. Being with Mr. Devil, I could experience a different feeling every day.

Xin didn't say anything else and just looked at Anser's profile quietly. Compared to the redemption that he had been constantly fulfilling for the sake of duty... Xin suddenly just wanted to stay with Anser for a while longer. It had nothing to do with anything, just to stay together. This situation was good now, but...

However, in this old church, which was originally empty and now only had Anser sitting in it, there came a dangerous guy who looked like an uninvited guest.

The tattered bloodstained robe, the sunken, thin, pale face, the dark, eerie, dead eyes... No one could have imagined that such a ghostly woman was the glorious and triumphant Grand Duke just a few days ago.

Even though Ella Luo Olsen was not stunningly beautiful, she was a standard beauty. But now it seemed... she was no different from a zombie or a ghost. It would not be surprising if she died in the next second.

But within this body that seems to be dying and at the end of its rope, there is a twisted and crazy soul that is absolutely unwilling to die, and is as hot as lava.

"You're a little late, Miss Elalo. What happened?"

Anser was still looking down at the book, while Xin, who was lying beside him but did not choose to show up in front of Elalo, was looking at Elalo curiously.

Through Elalo, Xin realized that Anser's ultimate goal was to make her degenerate and become what Elalo is now... Although it was unclear what Anser was going to do, knowing Anser's purpose was a huge breakthrough worth celebrating for Xin.

Currently, she has control over two important factors that can influence Ansher. The first is the doll lady who seems to be still stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate herself. This is why she threatened Lian De and asked this woman to do things for her. The second is... herself.

If possible, even if it's a chance to degenerate himself... Xin will take advantage of it.

Well, the current Miss Elalo... can also be used.

Mr. Devil doesn't mind me watching how he treats Miss Elalo, because he probably doesn't know that I have grown to this point.

Whether it was the change in her belief in God or her understanding and cognition of the devil, what made Xin most confident was that Ansel didn't know... how much she had grown.

If you ask Xin whether he has ever considered the possibility that "Ansel already knew everything", it is not impossible. However, Xin found that thinking like this was meaningless except for adding to his troubles. If Ansel knew everything and everything that happened in the future was instructed and arranged by him, then everything would be meaningless.

Is there really anyone who, in the despair of everything being a foregone conclusion, can challenge this irreversible foregone conclusion?

This kind of thing...even Mr. Devil can't do it.

"I'm sorry... Your Highness Anser."

The pale-faced Elalo kept coughing: "The power... is still a little unstable. It's a bit difficult for a mediocre and incompetent like me to control the runaway ether."

Anser looked up at the woman who had lost everything and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What method do you use to control the ether? Is it the Triumph Family's inheritance, or is it the unique divine art of the church?"

"I only know a little bit of divine arts, mainly the techniques passed down in my family."

"But..." Anser closed the book and seemed to confirm Elalo's problem at a glance. "You have tried to add the church's skills to this technique, right? And you did it a long time ago, so much so that it became a habit."

Elalo's dull and dead eyes rolled slightly. She thought for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"That's right. After you became like this, you lost the ability to use that technique. At the same time, it was equivalent to the ether drive technique that you had been accustomed to for more than 20 years being on the verge of losing control. It was equivalent to almost forgetting how to breathe. This hidden danger was not exposed until now, and there is a certain delay..."

"Heh... a power that can no longer be used after betraying one's faith?"

Anser chuckled. "What an interesting constraint. The conditions of faith are obviously extremely idealistic, but they can restrict the entire power system within this difficult-to-define framework. It can be called... a masterpiece of genius."

"Divine magic is a power bestowed by God. It is not the work of genius, Mr. Devil." Xin reminded very kindly.

Of course, Anser would not talk to Xin now. Some of the information brought by the masterpiece in front of him...needed to be confirmed by him.

"After changing your mindset..." Anser tapped his temple, "Do you feel liberated, Miss Elalo?"

Liberation is an ambiguous word. It is hard to say whether it is an abstract concept that the elusive will is liberated, or whether the self that has been imprisoned by magic or some mysterious power is really freed...

Therefore, Elalo was naturally stunned for a moment. Unable to figure out what Anser meant by "liberation", she hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice: "I... just feel disappointed, Your Highness Anser. Although I hope to take revenge on that woman, I don't think I was bound in the past."

Forced by Xin to infringe upon the majesty of God, and then betrayed completely, it stands to reason that Ellalo's faith should have completely collapsed when his dignity and self were trampled upon. However, he simply harbored hatred towards Xin and did not deny his previous faith... This was surprising.

"So, even after being treated like this, you still have some respect for the Holy Alliance Church?"

Anser asked with interest.

"I don't know... maybe I just don't want to deny who I used to be."

Elalo smiled self-deprecatingly: "My beliefs and dignity have now been denied by God's spokesperson. The only one who can prove their value is me."

"What strong personal emotions and subjective thoughts... I can tell you a good news, Miss Elalo, your belief is real."

Anser nodded slightly: "Your thoughts have not changed because of the gains and losses of the church's power. In other words, you did not develop faith because of the power bestowed by the church. At least in this regard, the Church of the Holy Alliance does look like a legitimate church, not some inferior brainwashing cult."

It took Elalo a few seconds to respond: "So... that's why you asked me if I felt relieved?"

"Of course, if you don't feel free, doesn't that mean you are not bound?"

Anser nodded, looking at Elalo with increasing interest.

"Interesting... Miss Saint's redemption clearly changed your mind in a direct sense, but after losing it all, you didn't feel any distortion of your consciousness. It's worthy of being the power from God."

So Mr. Devil wanted to study me, so openly?

"Besides, the church's magic itself seems to be more interesting than this... What a pity, it would be better if Luo was here."

Anser sighed with some regret: "If it is her, maybe she can analyze the characteristics of the divine magic system."

"That's impossible." Xin retorted directly, "Mr. Devil, didn't I tell you that magic is the power given to us by God? Although the form of many spells is created by others, the essence is never created by anyone."

This statement, of course, is still a disguise made by Xin to maintain the image of a fanatic, but it is more or less Xin's innermost thoughts.

This was not a rebuttal out of fear of God, but for Xin, this was the common sense that built her understanding of the world.

Analyzing the power God has given us...even Mr. Devil can't do it.

Miss Doll, isn't that even more impossible?

Chapter 6: A Good Match (K)

Even if she was saved by Anther, Elalo had no qualifications or dignity to stay in Triumph Port City. This church was her temporary shelter. It was ironic... With her faith shattered, she still had to rely on the identity of a believer as a cover to survive under Anther's protection.

"You didn't doubt it at the time, Miss Elalo."

Anser held his chin up and looked at the person in front of him who had nothing: "I was shocked by your reaction, and then I realized that there was something wrong with that Saint Lady."

Mr. Devil doesn't seem to bat an eyelid when he lies... Oh, if Mr. Devil didn't make me say that on purpose, then it wouldn't be considered a lie.

Xin stared at Anser's profile and could only see deep regret on his face. While he was confused, he couldn't help but admire Anser more and more.

No matter what, I can't be 100% sure of Mr. Devil's true thoughts. If I could be like Mr. Devil, could I easily save everyone without relying on God's power?

If you want someone to shine, he will definitely have a brilliant opportunity; if you want someone to become depraved and crazy, he will definitely fall into the abyss irreversibly.

Controlling people’s thoughts, no…it’s the future, it’s the entire life.

If I could be like Mr. Devil, it would be easy to lead them to the right path even without relying on the power bestowed by the gods.

However, God's power is more convenient. Mr. Devil's approach is not suitable for me. Well...it is better to say that this is the value for which Mr. Devil should be redeemed.

If the sins carried by this abyss monster were cleared... with his ability and talent, he would surely be able to lead this world towards a truly bright and great future.

It is the future that God expects and promises.

…the future that God expects.

Xin actually feels strange sometimes.

Logically speaking, since she had given up her blind pursuit of God, she should no longer be like before, taking God's will and majesty as her benchmark for everything.

But the fact is, no matter what happens, she will ultimately attribute everything to God. Even if she is not considering it out of protecting God, she still thinks so instinctively.

While Xin was lost in thought, Elalo gave his answer after a brief silence:

"Because... I have no reason not to believe it."

The delicate body that looked extremely haggard began to tremble continuously. The shattering of faith was no less than death for the believers, and it was probably a fatal pain that could never be healed in a lifetime.

"When the Saint asked me to destroy the church... I didn't know what to do."

Elalo said hoarsely and weakly: "What I can't accept is not this matter itself. It's just that destroying the church is actually the same as what she said... If this is God's will, I should certainly implement it."

"What I can't accept is her attitude."

The woman's voice became uncontrollably distorted due to the erosion after falling into the abyss. She raised her head, her turbid dark eyes filled with hatred and madness.

"I cannot accept that... as God's agent, the manifestation of God's will in the world, she uses such an arrogant attitude... to trample on my faith and denounce it as insignificant!"

“God doesn’t care…”

Under the madness and anger, there are scars that cannot be healed no matter how painful it is, and there is bitterness that can only be swallowed no matter how unwilling you are.

Elalo hung his head and murmured sadly, "But I care."

The belief that he placed his hope in God and was happy that he finally had the ability to change the current situation in Donggang, even at the cost of being a martyr... was cruelly torn to pieces.

Ellalo Olsen chose the path of faith when her life was hopeless, but the absurd thing was that at the most hopeful moment in her life, the existence she believed in betrayed her.

"So, you were already on the verge of having your faith shattered at that time... Did you no longer trust the Saint?"

Mr. Devil's tone was very curious, as if he was just a bystander and not involved at all.

"...Yes, when I heard what His Highness Anser said, I thought... 'If it was that guy, he would definitely do something like this'."

When talking about Xin, Elalo's emotions become extremely unstable. If he is not properly guided and controlled, it will not be long before he will follow the fate of all the extraordinary people on the abyss side - his soul will be completely eroded and disintegrated, ushering in an irreversible end.

Unstable air currents surrounded Elalo, and his creepy low howls echoed in the church.

"That kind of contempt, that kind of arrogance...I will never forget it until I die."

"I will never accept that such a person is God's agent. I will never accept... God who actively chose such a person!"

……arrogant?

Xin didn't take Elalo's disrespect to God too seriously. What bothered and puzzled her more was the "arrogance" that Elalo mentioned.

Arrogant...are you talking about me?

The Saint Lady tilted her head and stared at the gloomy Elalo. She could certainly see that this martyr who lost everything due to betrayal was serious, which made her even more puzzled.

Arrogance. As a saint, how could she commit such a dangerous sin?

Just as Elalo said, as the spokesperson of God and the manifestation of God's will in the world, the Saint must be perfect. She takes on countless sins in order to complete the balance of the assistant, but she will never be contaminated by sin. It is such a powerful, outstanding talent and holiness that makes the Saint a Saint and qualified to represent God.

Trampling on faith...trampling on Miss Ellalo's dignity?

Is this arrogance?

Xin didn't understand why she was called arrogant. In her opinion, she just said some things that were supposed to be said, and Elalo went crazy and lost control because of this... Shouldn't that be the other party's problem?

His faith is not strong enough and he cares too much about himself. If his faith is pure enough, he will follow God's will unwaveringly and whitewash his identity by destroying the church. If he is strong enough, Ansel's instigation with his own words will not work.

What does this have to do with me?

"That's it..."

Anser nodded slightly, then raised the hand with the Ouroboros bracelet and chuckled, "Did you hear everything, A'Luo?"

"!"

Xin suddenly turned her head to look at Anser's wrist, where Ming Furo's true body was. She was shocked to realize that Anser was actually with Ming Furo at all times, and the information between them was almost shared synchronously, unless Anser deliberately didn't say it.

Logically speaking, Xin should be able to sense the secret communication between Anser and Ming Furo, but the problem is that Ming Furo, who is an extremely special soul carrier and can be said to be the only creature in this world... is not something she can observe at all.

In other words, Ming Fuluo's skills in manipulating ether were beyond Xin's imagination.

What I just said to Mr. Devil...

When Xin Wei felt nervous, Ming Furo's figure quickly gathered beside Anser and sat directly next to Anser.

"I heard... If this is the case, then your change is understandable."

The scholar lady who suddenly appeared looked at the more humble Elalo and said calmly: "She is indeed that kind of person. I have seen it a long time ago."

"He treated everyone with that scrutinizing gaze, even Anser."

Ming Fuluo naturally held Anser's hand and whispered expressionlessly: "It's disgusting to think that you can easily judge the souls and fates of others from a high position."

"..."

Xin was still lying beside Ansel, with only her devil Mr. between her and Ming Furo.

Miss Saint felt that Miss Puppet might be taking revenge on her for what she had just said.

But since she appeared, she didn't notice him here, as if she didn't even notice his existence. It seemed that Ansher started communicating with Ming Furo only after Ella Luo explained the reason for the collapse of faith.

But regardless, she was a little unhappy.

Miss Doll...does she think I'm arrogant too? She has no right to say that to me.

You who even dare to invade the realm of God, and whose sin of arrogance is perhaps no less than that of Mr. Devil, how can you have the right to say that I am arrogant?

The woman stared at the hands of Ming Furo and Ansher holding together. Although she made an unconvinced rebuttal in her heart, she did not secretly nag in Ansher's ear. She just watched quietly.
