Once this creature regains its limbs, the container will no longer be able to imprison her.

After all, he could break the container from the inside, and the physical strength of the Dead Apostle Ancestor was not to be underestimated.

That's why Aozaki Touko stayed here all this time to conduct research and kept a close eye on her.

If any unexpected event were to occur, Lev would immediately summon Rovey and, without hesitation, use the complete, mysterious underground spell to suppress this terrifying individual once again, and propose handing him over to the church for handling.

"How are you? Are you settling in well here, Miss Lita?"

Looking at Lita was still completely unable to move due to her restricted power and unrecovered body, and could only glare at him with her eyes, Rovey greeted him once again.

"Have you missed me after a few days?"

"Heh, say whatever you want. The victor is king, and the loser is villain. You are the winner now. No matter what I say, it will only make me look worse."

"However... don't think that one defeat will make me give in. I admit, Crowley, you're stronger now! Even if I go out and fight you again, I'll still be the one who loses. But even so, I won't obediently let you control me and willingly become your collection."

With her newly grown throat, Lita regained her voice and spoke a cold tone to Rovey. Although her voice was still weak, her attitude was resolute, and the will within it was unwavering.

This was her last shred of dignity. Leaving aside the fact that she, as the Dead Apostle Ancestor, had lost to humans, being killed or dismembered could at least be excused by the excuse of inferior skill. But becoming a prisoner was the most humiliating thing that had ever happened to her.

Her current experience of being submerged in the container reminded her of the Mystic Eyes that were soaked in jars.

Now, in order to preserve her last shred of self-respect, Lita can only express her determination to fight to the end in this way.

"Um... didn't you start it yourself? Why are you acting like the victim?"

Hearing her words, Rovey felt as if he were the villain. He turned to Aozaki Touko beside him and asked, "Has this girl's brain been soaked in Holy Water?"

"Hmm... maybe. He's been yelling ever since his throat started to recover. I'm so tired of hearing it."

Aozaki Touko waved her hand helplessly.

Lita: "..."

"Alright, alright, since that's the case, then let's say you have the will to fight to the end."

Rovey stroked his chin, then gave her a meaningful smile before continuing, "But do you think I'll have the patience to play along with you forever? A defeated opponent who was captured on his own train, where does he get the confidence to think he can escape from my territory?"

"You, who have lived for so many years, are still inferior to me in terms of magical cultivation, and I am far from reaching the true peak. I will become even stronger, and when you emerge, you will be met with an even more utter defeat. Let me tell you, the Four Archangels reside beneath this workshop. Do you think you can escape?"

"So what? I should just give up and resign myself to being your plaything?"

Lita said with a resentful expression.

"Well, if you cooperate, it's not certain that I'll turn it into a formal dress... We can talk about it."

"You bastard... you actually had such a plan..."

Lita Roggean gritted her teeth, her words revealing the hatred she had been holding back.

Especially her attitude when hearing Rovey's evaluation of her, just like how she treated the collected Mystic Eyes, was completely like that of someone who viewed things as possessions.

"Isn't that obvious? After all, as one of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, you are one of the few best test subjects in the world."

"After I've finished researching the secrets hidden within you, I'll probably try to erase all your memories and instill in you a sense of loyalty to me, just like you did to those androids on the train in the past."

Rovey stroked his chin, pondering as he continued, "To have a Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors as your heirloom, just thinking about it is a luxury... It's much more prestigious than things like the Phantasmal Species."

"Do you really think you can do it?"

Lita remained defiant, refusing to believe that mere brainwashing Magecraft could cause any irreversible damage to her body.

"Of course, if that's not possible, there are other ways, such as: making hundreds of millions of copies of the videotape that insults you to the extreme, and then distributing them to all the families in the mystical world for the world to enjoy. I remember you're quite concerned about your own honor, aren't you? As for what constitutes the ultimate insult..."

Rovey continued to approach, and then whispered in Lita's ear.

Lita's eyes widened suddenly at that moment, because the description was so terrifying that she forgot to speak.

So what do you think?

Rovey still had a smile on his face.

When it comes to dealing with a tough nut like Lita, Rovey actually has a way.

And it's definitely more cruel than killing her.

Don't be fooled by this guy's tough attitude; he's all talk and no action. He always keeps the initiative in his own hands, and he has plenty of ways to make this guy completely submit.

Aren't you immortal? If you can withstand physical damage, what about mental damage?

"I think Miss Lita Roggean, you wouldn't want the whole world to see you like that, would you?"

"And who knows if the other members of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors will kick you out to preserve the dignity of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors after seeing you like that? Oh dear, it's really hard to guess."

"You, you bastard..."

At this moment, Lita Rojaan's expression finally changed.

She was not afraid of death, because even if she died, she had a way to be resurrected. Even if she couldn't be resurrected in the end, it would just be an eternal slumber.

However, what Rovey mentioned was something she absolutely could not accept, because it was a thousand times more terrifying to her than death.

Throughout her life, she maintained her honor and dignity as a noblewoman.

Even if she was humiliated by the White Wing Lord and despised by Eltnum, she could grit her teeth and continue to be strong. However, she absolutely could not accept being seen by the whole world and being insulted by humans.

In that case, not only myself, but everything the entire family owns would become the biggest joke.

If forced to choose between dignity and life, Lita would choose the former without hesitation.

She would rather die, or even be sealed away by the church forever.

"Oh, so you're finally behaving yourself now?"

Seeing Lita's expression change, and tears that seemed to be a completely different color from the Holy Water appearing in the corners of her eyes, a smile appeared on Rovey's face.

"Are you willing to have a proper talk with me now?"

He remained unmoved by the fear and resentment on Lita's stunningly beautiful face.

"You damned devil, no, the great demon! You are more evil than any evil god! Your twisted sense of humor even surpasses that detestable Eltnum... Tell me, what do you want?!"

At this moment, Lita's expression was filled with grievance and fear, so much so that it looked like she was about to cry at any moment, which amazed Aozaki Touko.

To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen this Dead Apostle so vulnerable after all the verbal sparring she had done with him.

Although she also felt that the ultimate insult that Rovey mentioned was extremely immoral, Aozaki Touko would not be so compassionate towards someone who wanted to kill her; in fact, she wished she could intensify the attack.

However, she also knew that given Rovey's personality and style, he would at most scare this Dead Apostle, and wouldn't do anything so perverse.

Although Aozaki Touko knew the final outcome, Lita dared not gamble at this moment...

As for the ultimate insult from humanity, it's better to just kill her.

If this gets out, I and my family will definitely be expelled.

After all, to the top three of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, she was just a little girl relying on her father's protection. Although she was unwilling to admit it and always wanted to do something great to prove herself, she could never change this outcome.

Even if those three knew what was going on with her, they wouldn't come to her rescue; they would probably just laugh at her mercilessly.

Therefore, she absolutely cannot let everything be ruined by her own hands.

"First, hand over the techniques for removing and transplanting the Mystic Eyes."

Seeing that this guy was finally scared, Rovey didn't hold back and made his demands to her.

He was fairly satisfied with Lita's performance at this moment, since she didn't put up a stubborn resistance, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"I can give you the transplantation technique, but I can't remove it,"

Lita hurriedly explained, "That's a special ability I was born with; I can't transfer it."

"Oh, in that case, hand over the transplantation technology first. There's no need to rush the extraction technology, since the train on your vehicle has already extracted all of it for me."

"..."

Lita fell silent.

The so-called "Mystic Eyes transplant" is certainly not like the Sharingan next door, which can be removed and used directly without any rejection reaction.

Both harvesting and transplanting are complex subjects.

Removing the Mystic Eyes without damaging it is extremely difficult, while transplanting it requires maximizing the compatibility of the recipient with the Mystic Eyes and minimizing rejection.

Even after so much research, the Clock Tower has not been able to achieve 100% success in these two steps, and stability issues are prone to occur, with potential side effects.

The only person in the entire mystical world who has the ability to say 100% certainty is Lita Rogean, the owner of the Rail Zeppelin.

Moreover, she can maintain 100% stability and has no side effects.

These two techniques alone are more valuable than many Mystic Eyes combined.

Although Rovey doesn't really need the Mystic Eyes, the kids at home do.

Since the Clock Tower's level is problematic and cannot be 100% accurate, he definitely needs to have a more professional person do it.

"I can give you everything, but you have to let me out and promise not to do those disgusting things to me..."

"Then how can you guarantee you won't do anything to hurt others? You're quite a threat to the people around me." Before Lita could finish speaking, Rovey shut her up with a counter-question.

"I can sign up for Magic Contract! Just let me out, and I promise I won't hurt anyone!!"

This time, Lita was very straightforward and didn't forget to fight for some of her own interests.

At this moment, she had completely given in, and had only one thought in her mind: she didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place for another second.

The most urgent task is to escape. The pressure this guy exerts on her is terrifying, and every brief encounter makes her tremble with fear.

"Well, we'll see how you do."

Rovey answered calmly, then reinforced the container with several layers of his own Magecraft seals before waving at Aozaki Touko without turning his head.

"Senior Aoko, I'll leave the data recording to you. I have other things to do, so see you later."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Aozaki Touko's eyes lit up.

She knew, of course, that Rovey was sharing with her important technology regarding the transplantation of the Mystic Eyes.

However, Lita looked anxious at this moment.

"Hey, let me out of this broken pot first! Didn't you hear my conditions?"

"Shut your mouth, you idiot. You're not in a position to negotiate with me right now. If you don't want the video of your ultimate humiliation to circulate throughout the world, then hand over what I want obediently. When the time is right, I'll let you out."

Rovey's tone was extremely calm.

Of course, this threat was made without any verbal agreement.

Although Lita was angry, the moment she heard the words "ultimate insult," she lost all courage to resist.

Even if she knew she was suffering a loss for nothing, it would still be the same.

She can only gamble that Rovey needs her ability to extract resources, not whether Rovey will actually keep his word.

As a result, she no longer dares to make harsh remarks to Rovey as she did before.

"Oh, by the way, Lita Rogan, I actually prefer your original, unruly self. If possible, it would be nice if you could even revert to that slightly."

Before leaving, Rovey turned around and reminded her.

"..."

"Pfft."

Upon hearing this, Aozaki Touko, who was holding the notepad, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lita continued her angry rant after Rovey's figure had completely disappeared.

"You damned bastard! I swear! One day I will kill you with the cruelest methods! I'll make you taste the humiliation I suffered today!!"

"Oh, and I promise you too, if you dare to say anything bad about me again, I'll let you experience the ultimate humiliation right now."

"??"

Upon hearing this, Lita's expression suddenly froze. She saw that Rovey, who had already left, suddenly turned back and stood at the door, speaking to her.

"..."

The next moment, Lita turned her head away in protest, but dared not say anything more.
