The Herrscher of the Void's eyes were sorrowful and hazy, as if shimmering with unshed tears.
She clenched her jaw, her fair, delicate face flushed red.
In the frigid air, comparable to a Siberian winter, her delicate body burned hot, feeling sore and weak. Rivulets of sweat ran down her thighs, pooling on the floor beneath her.
The Herrscher of the Void's hands gripped the hemp rope for dear life. The other end was tied to the sphere of light.
If that sphere were to fall, the person she held dear would never be revived.
Because of this, she didn't dare to move an inch, able only to silently endure the merciless thrusts from behind.
The Herrscher of the Void stared forlornly at Cecilia in front of her. Sweat dripped down, landing near Cecilia's leg…
"? Well, you two are playing quite the kinky game."
An ill-timed voice suddenly cut in.
Mobius, who had appeared at the doorway at some unknown point, was watching the scene inside with her vertical snake pupils, a look of great interest on her otherwise indifferent face.
Her tender pink tongue licked her cherry lips as she curled them into a cruel smile.
"Father dear~, what exactly are you doing?"
Ye Feng supported the Herrscher of the Void by her fair, slender waist, feeling something tighten around him, as if it were being vacuum-sealed, a tightness that sucked all the air out.
He turned his head and smiled. "Just as you see, Snakey."
In truth, it wasn't a complete accident that the Herrscher of the Void had killed Cecilia. Ye Feng had used his "clockwork trick" on her, slightly turning up her anger value.
Otherwise, if he had just waited, there was no telling how long it would take for an "accident" to occur.
Mobius walked over.
Her snake eyes glanced at the Herrscher of the Void's hands, clenched tightly around the rope, and then at Ye Feng.
"I truly never expected a Herrscher could be bullied like this. How interesting. As I thought, as long as you live long enough, you can see anything. But, are you not going to explain?"
Ye Feng said, "I was just worried the Herrscher of the Void wouldn't be able to distinguish between 'simulation' and 'reality' and would subconsciously assume that 'destroyed things will be restored.' So, I'm giving her a memorable experience."
The two began to converse right there, next to the Herrscher of the Void.
They made no attempt to be discreet.
"Oh? You'd be so kind?"
"Of course. Don't judge a book by its cover. In my own way, I'm also fighting for a beautiful world."
"A beautiful world, is it… Hehe, and what does your 'beautiful world' entail?"
"Naturally, a world where all the beautiful girls can be happy."
Smack!
Mobius slapped the Herrscher of the Void's rear end hard.
"Did you hear that? Father dear is doing all of this for your own good. You should be grateful."
The Herrscher of the Void felt an immense sense of humiliation, anger, helplessness, and a tiny bit of… pleasure.
That last part couldn't be helped. When it came to physical matters, even the Herrscher of the Void could not defy her instincts.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so thoroughly defeated by Ye Feng in their first contest, routed and utterly overwhelmed.
"You two—"
"What's with that look? You dare to glare at me? In the old days, a Herrscher with humanity like you would have been laid out on my operating table long ago. But now~~~"
Mobius's hand snaked up the Herrscher of the Void's arm, slithering towards the hand gripping the rope.
"Be careful now, don't let me eat you~~"
Bzz!
Mobius's fingertip "bit" the back of the Herrscher of the Void's hand like a viper's fang.
A numbing sensation shot through the Herrscher of the Void's hand, and she lost her grip. The sphere of light plummeted downwards with a clatter.
"—————!!!!"
The Herrscher of the Void's pupils contracted to their absolute limit.
Her entire body tensed violently, and even her breathing stopped.
"Ngh~"
At this moment, even the battle-hardened Old Ye couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
A vise?
The word "vise" was a pathetic understatement.
The Herrscher of the Void struggled frantically, lunging forward. Her arm was numb, so she used her mouth to bite.
Her pearly white teeth clamped down hard on the rope. The falling sphere of light stopped less than a meter above Cecilia's head.
"You're trying so hard, little Herrscher."
Mobius's fair, slender hand lovingly stroked the Herrscher of the Void's cheek.
She then turned to Ye Feng and smiled. "How was that? Did it feel good?"
Ye Feng was currently savoring the sensation and didn't want to speak.
All he could say was: his efforts to pamper Snakey had not been in vain.
Mobius's slender waist swayed, full of charm. She gave a bewitching smile. "Little Kong~ is that what they call you?"
"!!"
The Herrscher of the Void, still biting the rope, shot a sideways glance, her golden pupils blazing with fury.
"Listen to me now. Based on my Little White Mouse's twisted tastes, I think that even if the sphere falls, it won't necessarily destroy the village. So, Little Kong, you don't actually have to try so hard, you know."
"?"
Just then, Ye Feng, while tying the Herrscher of the Void's hair into twin-tails, chimed in with a smile, "Want to make a bet? Let's see if Snakey's guess is right, or if I'll break my habit of always keeping my word."
"…"
The Herrscher of the Void bit down on the rope, desperately trying to turn her head, but she still couldn't see Ye Feng's face.
At this moment, she truly felt that the two people before her were the real demons.
They toyed with people's hearts so cruelly.
The Herrscher of the Void could only stare forward in humiliation.
Cecilia, gentle Cecilia, was lying right there.
The Herrscher of the Void had inherited Sirin's memories. Just like Kiana, she was an extension of Sirin.
Therefore, she—
Had suffered pain,
Had been lost in confusion,
Had lost her freedom,
And finally, regained it.
There had been so, so much ugliness.
But what accompanied her now was this small happiness.
Even if it was just a month in a simulated life, those memories were genuine.
So, let it all, in the end, turn into a smile for this world and for the people she loved!
There was no right or wrong.
Some people deserved to die and go to hell.
But some lives deserved a beautiful ending—
The Herrscher of the Void closed her eyes and clenched her teeth, saying nothing.
Mobius came around to her front again. As if playing with a doll, she lovingly cupped the Herrscher of the Void's face, holding her chin with both hands and leaning in slowly until their noses almost touched.
"It seems you trust my Little White Mouse more than me. How disappointing. He treats you like this, yet you still choose to believe him? Why is that?"
"…"
"Ahahaha, interesting, truly interesting. A Herrscher, giving her all to save a human. I really want to record this scene. Yes, I must record it. Such a precious sight."
Mobius giggled and let go of the Herrscher of the Void.
The Herrscher of the Void held her head high, sweat tracing paths down her fair skin. All sorts of complex emotions flashed through her pupils, but her teeth remained clamped tightly on the rope, preventing the sphere of light from falling.
Mobius took out a camera.
Though there were many ways to record something, she deliberately chose a camera.
Because it was the most primitive method of filming, one that everyone could understand.
She began filming, frame by frame, recording from every angle…
