Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

This time, the other Elena didn't use riddles or hide anything. She simply looked at herself and said calmly, "The future Eternal City will become like that."

"Is it because of the Eternal God?"

Just a couple of days ago, she overheard Elise talking about the problem with the Eternal God and learned that there were serious issues with the current faith in Him.

In her dream, Elena nodded gently: "That Eternal City left a very deep impression on me, which caused some confusion in my memories."

"What left a deep impression?" Elena asked curiously.

"She died there."

A simple sentence silenced Elena. If she had known this would be the answer, she wouldn't have been curious.

But since she had already asked, she continued, "May I ask how she died?"

“Those whom He killed are before me.”

Upon hearing her other self's words, Elena couldn't help but recall that distant memory—the memory she awakened when she first met Elise.

She remembered that in her dream she knelt helplessly on the ground, and at the moment she was about to be blasted to death, Elise used all her strength to resist the monster's attack, giving herself a chance to escape.

She remembered that Elise had unleashed a sky full of shadows at that time, which eventually dissipated under the holy light, even she...

"I told you before, being too curious isn't a good thing."

"That's true, but some things are inevitable sooner or later," Elena sighed.

"Do you still want to go back and relive that memory?"

"want."

Now that she knew about the dangers of the Eternal City, she needed to learn more about that place beforehand.

Seeing her own serious expression, Elena in her dream smiled, a rare occurrence: "Then let's continue."

Before she could answer, she simply waved her hand casually, and Elena felt a sense of weightlessness, instantly returning to the bustling streets of the Eternal City.

Iris, in her memory, didn't notice anything amiss and continued to introduce the place to Elena.

Seeing how familiar Elise was with the Eternal City, Elena felt a pang of sympathy. She wondered how many times Elise had been reborn to be so familiar with this foreign land.

Having been reborn so many times, could she still not change her fate of dying?

Furthermore, why would a mercenary like myself and a noble lady like Elise have any connection with the God of Eternity? Couldn't they have avoided contact with Him?

Noticing Elena's silence, Elise stopped explaining and looked at her with a curious gaze: "Why did you suddenly stop talking?"

"I'm listening to you."

"When did you become so polite?"

"Tsk, I've always been very polite!"

Volume 1: Chapter 362 No one can remain uninvolved

1 "Hmm?"

Elise noticed that Elena seemed preoccupied after waking up, and after eating something lightly, she fell asleep again.

Although she felt something was strange, based on her observation, Elena awakened her memories by sleeping. She guessed that Elena must have awakened some memories while sleeping, and they were not good ones.

What specific memories did the child awaken?

Was the tumor a reminder of how he bravely shielded her from the attack of the Thorn Beast? Or was it a memory of how he shared his life with her when she was critically injured and on the verge of death? Or was it a direct recollection of his own death and resurrection as the World-Destroying Witch, forcing him to kill him?

Countless memories flashed through Elise's mind, and no matter what Elena recalled, Elise felt inexplicably excited.

While Elise was lost in thought, Elena returned to the burning church.

She silently dodged the attack from her other self, and while retaliating, she asked, "I really want to know, why did Elise, or I, clash with the Eternal God?"

Logically speaking, given Elise's cautious and fearful nature, it's unlikely she would provoke the Eternal God.

Lu thought and thought but she really couldn't understand why Elise would die at the hands of the Eternal God.

As if she had anticipated Elena's question, Elena in the dream remained calm, and her attacks continued without pause, even becoming more ferocious.

"Some things, even if you don't want to get involved, you will be dragged into them unintentionally."

"When the Holy Kingdom undergoes an anomaly, it signifies the countdown to the end of the world has begun, and no one can remain unaffected."

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing her other self's explanation, Elena instantly realized that the world-ending crisis was caused by the Eternal God. Under such circumstances, even if Elise didn't want to provoke it, she had no choice but to take the initiative.

"Actually, it's not just these things. When I'm with Elise, all sorts of unexpected things always happen. It's as if she's being maliciously targeted by this world."

"So hurry up and become stronger, strong enough to kill Him, otherwise you'll just repeat my mistakes." At this point, Elena in the dream paused for a moment, then added, "Perhaps, there's no chance to repeat my mistakes anymore."

"What do you mean?"

Elena was somewhat stunned, pondering the meaning of her other self's words. She didn't even notice the sneak attack and was directly pierced through her defenses. The flying sword made her mind go blank, and she died on the spot.

Elena, who had been resurrected, rubbed her forehead, wanting to complain about her other self for not showing any mercy after all this time. However, considering that even if she spoke up, the other wouldn't react in any particular way, Elena gave up struggling and began to fight her other self seriously.

Fran, the ice dragon, lay in the corner, staring intently at the two who were fighting. As for Elena in the dream, it didn't know how strong the other was. It could easily crush it with one hand.

The other Elena, although seemingly weak, is progressing at an extremely rapid pace. It would take an average dragon magician a long time to master the power of dragon crystals, let alone dragon language magic.

The opponent, on the other hand, mastered the abilities of the Dragon Mage in a very short time and was even able to use them flexibly in battle.

Even among the human geniuses she had ever met, few could compare to her.

……

When Elena woke up again, the carriage was already parked in front of an inn.

It was already dark by then. Elena stretched lazily. The battle in her dream had taken a toll on her mental energy, so even though she had slept all day, she still felt sleep-deprived.

Looking at Elena, who had already woken up, Iris couldn't help but say softly, "Why does it feel like you didn't sleep at all?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. It's probably because of someone," Elena said with a yawn. As for the "someone" she was referring to, it was pretty self-evident.

A dangerous smile crept onto Elise's lips. This Elena had become so bold after waking up. She was even thinking about whether she should teach her a lesson that night.

However, even if Elise has made up her mind, she won't reveal it now. She'll definitely wait until tonight and surprise Elena in her room to make things more exciting.

They are currently in a small city where there are few outsiders, so there are no hotels, only small inns like this.

However, Elise wasn't that picky; as long as she had a place to stay for the night, that was fine.

Just as Elise and the others were about to enter the hotel, a commotion suddenly broke out not far away.

A figure in black robes brushed past Elise and her companions at incredible speed. Shortly after the figure left, a squad of Templar Knights caught up with them, while in the sky, winged priests continuously surveyed the guards' situation.

The Templar Knight squad ignored Elise and the others, and went straight after the black-robed man in the direction he had left.

Looking in the direction the Templar Knights squad had gone, Elena asked curiously, "Who were they chasing?"

“A cultist,” Elise said calmly.

Are there still cultists in the Holy Kingdom?

"Of course, where there is light, there is shadow. Even in a place like the Holy Kingdom, there are cultists. However, the cultists here are not as rampant as in the Empire."

As Rumia spoke, she glanced silently at Iris, noticing that the latter was looking in the direction the Templars had left, seemingly deep in thought.

"Master, is there a problem?" Cang

"Never mind, it's nothing." Ling

When that cultist fled from her, Elise sensed a destructive aura emanating from him; if she wasn't mistaken, he was a follower of the God of Destruction.

In the Holy Kingdom, there is only one follower of the God of Destruction, and that sole follower is one of the main characters in the game.

Elise never expected to run into him here again.

Based on normal development, the opponent should currently have around level five to six strength, but there's no need to make contact with them at the moment.

After all, Elise had no grudge against him; they kept to themselves. Moreover, this was the Holy Kingdom, and even Elise couldn't rashly attack, lest she attract His attention and he himself might perish here.

Volume 1: Chapter 363 Only She's Always Been Good to Me 9

Late at night, in Elena's room. 7

At this moment, Elena was engaged in a fierce battle with another version of herself in the burning church. Just as their fight reached its climax, Elena suddenly noticed her other self's aura surge dramatically, and then she kicked Elena away. 4

Before Elena could even react, she found herself awake. 5

When she woke up, she found Iris, dressed in a thin nightgown, sitting quietly by her bedside, watching her with a faint smile on her face.

Purity tinged with temptation. 2

Upon seeing Elise, Elena's eyes flashed with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. She whispered, "How did you end up here?"

"Of course, it's because someone said they didn't sleep well because of someone else this evening. I thought to myself, I didn't sit down at all, and it's really unfair of you to say that to me. I can't stand it, so I decided to do what you suggested," Elise said logically.

Elena gave a slight smile, then pulled Elise into her arms and whispered, "Was there anything special about that cultist from last night?"

"You did it on purpose, right?"

Just as they were about to do *that* kind of thing, Elena unexpectedly changed the subject again, and Elise bit Elena's shoulder in annoyance.

Elise's biting didn't cause Elena much pain; in fact, it made the atmosphere in the room much more ambiguous.

Elena wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Elise pulled her into a world of pleasure.

After a while, the candlelight in the room was turned on again.

Elise lay comfortably on the bed, having just absorbed a significant amount of Elena's essence through her succubus transformation, which further enhanced her attributes.

Compared to the energetic Elise, Elena looked like she hadn't slept for three days and three nights, lying on the bed and not wanting to move at all.

She was the one who took the initiative, so why was it always me who was exhausted after it was over?

At times like this, she felt a strong urge to find an ancient relic that could transform into a succubus and teach Elise, that wicked woman, a lesson.

"Now we can continue with our previous topic."

"What topic?" Elena asked, still half asleep.

"That cult member."

Hearing what Elise said, Elena also remembered, and asked with some curiosity, "Is there something wrong with that cultist?"

"There are some problems, I suppose. If we encounter him in the future, we can try to help him out. Once he develops, he can play a role in the changes in the Holy Kingdom."

As the protagonist of the Holy Kingdom, that cultist will eventually have to face the changes in the Holy Kingdom. If we can establish a friendly relationship with him in advance, it will be of great help when the time comes.

If he doesn't appreciate it, Elise wouldn't mind replacing the soul of one of the main characters with her own Book of Souls.

The Goddess of Destruction is in fairly good condition. Even with the mark of greed, she doesn't dare to steal the other party's authority. However, the power of destruction is indeed simple and crude to use, making it an extremely useful ability.

"Alright, I've satisfied your curiosity and my desires. Now I have to go back, otherwise Xiaomi Xia will be angry again when she wakes up tomorrow and finds I'm not here."

"You're so kind to the little maid."

"After all, she's the only one who's always been good to me," Elise murmured to herself in a voice only she could hear.

"What did you say?"

"I mean, are you jealous?" Elise turned her head, revealing a pleasant smile.

"you think too much."

Although that's what she said, it's impossible for Elena to say she had no feelings at all. However, she had spent a long time by Elise's side and could clearly feel that Elise treated the little maid differently than she treated others.

In many ways, he could be considered to spoil his little maid.

……

The next morning, when Elise woke up, the little maid had just returned to her room.

While helping her mistress change her clothes, she told Elise about the information she had just heard in the neighborhood.

She noticed her young mistress's interest in that cult member yesterday, so she went to inquire about it this morning.

I heard that the Templar Knights squad failed to capture the cultist, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. The Eternal Church will offer a very generous reward if the cultist is captured.

Unfortunately, those rewards held no appeal for Elise at the moment.

After changing her clothes, Elise mentally assessed the day's itinerary and then said to the maid, "Let's hurry today. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to reach the Eternal City before dark."

"Okay, miss."

In order to speed things up, after leaving the city for a while, Elise and the others went directly to a nearby monster habitat and charmed two unicorns to pull the cart back.

Unicorns are somewhat similar to unicorns, but their horns are shorter and thicker, and they don't have the same sacred feel as unicorns.
