An Enemy That Must Be Defeated

As a result, Fang Li and Alisa did not speak to each other again on the rest of the journey.

Alisa seemed to have completely lost her pride in front of Fang Li, keeping her head down and not saying a word the whole time, making the atmosphere between the two extremely oppressive.

Fang Li didn't try to change the atmosphere; he let Alisa follow him as they continued walking.

Along the way, Fang Li and Alisa encountered several more waves of Aragami.

However, these Aragami were either solitary or, even when they came in groups, were only small; large Aragami like Vajra never appeared again.

Therefore, Alisa still didn't find an opportunity to make a move. By the time she realized what was happening, Fang Li had already rushed forward with his dagger, killing all the Aragami one by one.

Of course, they still killed off the Aragami one by one by directly destroying their cores.

Therefore, Fang Li's Main Mission One is progressing steadily, but the Main Mission Two has made absolutely no progress. Not to mention the extra rewards, even the most basic completion cooldown has not been achieved.

However, at this moment, Fang Li was no longer in a hurry.

Because Fang Li had already figured out a way to complete the Main Mission Two.

However, that would require Alisa's help.

However, given the current atmosphere between the two, Fang Li thought it would be better to leave things as they were for now and deal with the rest later.

Under these circumstances, it didn't take long before it got dark.

In the end, although Fang Li and Alisa kept traveling and at a considerable speed, they still couldn't catch up with Aphrodite, and they didn't even leave the wilderness area, so they had no choice but to stop.

After all, a forced march at night is quite dangerous.

Moreover, putting Alisa aside, Fang Li was still somewhat injured, and after a day of traveling, it would be best for him to stop and rest.

Fortunately, not long after dark, Fang Li and Alisa discovered a ruin in the wilderness.

So the two went into the ruins and began to rest.

"Smack..."

That's the sound of tree branches burning.

In the dim ruins, a campfire was being lit, its light illuminating the surroundings and dispelling the chill in the air.

Fang Li and Alisa sat facing each other, but their eyes did not meet.

It wasn't until a while later that Fang Li took out a packet of cookies from the Black Ring.

Those were the Energy Compression Biscuit that Fang Li exchanged when he first Main God Space.

In the previous Instance World, Fang Li only used it once, and then had no chance to use it again.

In the Main God Space, in the personal residence renovation plan that Fang Li chose, the refrigerator in the mansion can automatically generate the types of food to a certain extent.

Therefore, Fang Li kept these cookies until now, and they have finally come in handy.

After taking one out, Fang Li tossed the cookie to Alisa and said, "Eat one. One cookie will keep you from eating for a whole day, so don't eat too many."

After saying that, Fang Li started munching on a biscuit by himself.

As for Alisa, after subconsciously taking the cookie, she fell silent once again.

A single cookie can provide for a day's needs?

I've never even heard of such a thing.

In this era of rampant devastation, land was occupied, livestock were preyed upon, and people could only survive on various grains. The food problem was a persistent issue in every place.

If this kind of food, which can solve a day's meals in one piece, were made public, one can imagine the sensation it would cause in the world.

However, the man in front of him took the item out without any apparent concern.

Therefore, it's easy to imagine the complex emotions in Alisa's heart.

Looking at the biscuits in her hand, Alisa remained silent for a long time before finally taking one out and slowly munching on it.

Fang Li glanced at Alisa, who was munching on a cookie, and smiled subtly. Then, as if looking at her casually, he asked, "Speaking of which, you still haven't told me why you came along."

Alisa stopped moving immediately.

"There must be a reason, right?" Fang Li held his head, leaned against the wall, but his gaze was fixed on the ceiling. He said to Alisa, "Otherwise, I don't believe you would want to approach a monster like Aphrodite for no reason."

Alisa didn't answer immediately. Instead, she lowered her head, looking at the cookie in her hand, lost in thought.

Fang Li wasn't in a hurry. He sat there quietly, waiting for Alisa's reply.

This wait lasted for a full ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, Alisa spoke softly, saying this.

"I have an enemy that I must defeat."

These words made Fang Li raise his eyes and look at Alisa.

Fang Li was naturally aware of this matter.

The enemy that Alisa spoke of that had to be defeated was actually an Aragami.

However, that was no ordinary Aragami.

"He is the enemy who killed my parents." Alisa's hand holding the biscuit tightened little by little, and her tone became somewhat frightening.

"And it happened right in front of me."

In other words, Alisa watched helplessly as her parents were killed, and there was nothing she could do to stop it.

You can't save others, and you can't save yourself.

Alisa loathed her own weakness, which is why she chose to become God Eater and take up the divine machine that could slay the Aragami.

"Didn't you say before that my reaction to Vajra was too strong?" Alisa turned her gaze to Fang Li and said, "That was only natural, because the murderer of my parents was a Mutated Vajra."

As mentioned before, even among the same type of Aragami, their power can vary drastically.

The so-called mutant species are those that, through constant predation, absorb the characteristics of various prey into their own bodies, thus creating an unknown, mutated form of Aragami.

These wild gods are generally much more powerful than their original forms before mutation.

For example, if Mutated Vajra truly existed, it would certainly be far more powerful than Vajra, which is a large Aragami.

"I joined the Russian Branch in order to defeat it."

Alisa slowly crushed the cookie in her hand, her eyes filled with endless obsession and hatred.

"After learning that this war was caused by Aphrodite's hormones, I decided that I must find Aphrodite, and that way I would definitely be able to find her too."

After all, Aphrodite possessed hormones that attracted any aravana.

The Vajra mutant that killed Alisa's parents would surely be attracted as well.

Therefore, Alisa's purpose in following along was quite simple.

"I want revenge."
