Never Fought a Battle This Well-Funded.jpg

Su sat in the specially designed observation device of the Second Divine Key Thousand Worlds, and unusually opened his eyes, staring at the complex buttons in front of him, lost in thought.

He plans to observe the Quantum Sea once again. Research on the Quantum Sea is essential, as humanity's understanding of imaginary numbers is not yet fully clear, while the Quantum Sea possesses the power to counteract the power of imaginary numbers...

"Feng also gave us a general direction for research... Our world is ultimately based on imaginary numbers. Over-reliance on the power of the quantum sea could plunge the world into destruction, or even render it uninhabitable," Su pondered. "However... not only other imaginary worlds, but also some situations within the quantum sea's World Bubble, as a projection of the Intrinsic World onto the quantum sea, might be more suitable for the environment we are currently facing."

However, the danger of submerging one's consciousness in the quantum sea is self-evident. The woman named "Vita" herself may very well be waiting inside, waiting for her to fall into the trap she has woven once again.

If Vita were to take over her body, what would she do after arriving in the Intrinsic World? According to Feng, Vita is a Venusian from the Intrinsic World. Hundreds of millions of years have passed since the destruction of Vita's civilization. Hundreds of millions of years is enough to drive a person completely insane if there is no way to periodically erase their memories.

This is why Su was initially surprised by what Zhu Yufeng said, but then came to understand Vita. Perhaps it was normal a few hundred million years ago, but if someone has been immersed in the Quantum Sea for hundreds of millions of years, even the most normal person would become abnormal.

This is probably why the Vita I encountered was quite different from the being Feng described.

So, what exactly does Vita want to do by seizing her own consciousness and returning to the Intrinsic World?

Su thought about this for a long time but couldn't figure it out. However, one thing was certain: in the Quantum Sea, Vita's power was probably no less than that of Herrscher, and even... although she hadn't reached the concept of the Finality, her power far exceeded that of a normal Herrscher. Su, who could crush the Herrscher of Consciousness in the world of consciousness, had no chance of winning against Vita and could only choose to retreat. If she made a slight mistake, her consciousness would probably be replaced by Vita.

That experience left a deep shadow in Su's heart, and afterwards he went to Zhu Yufeng and used the Black Abyss White Flower to carve the mark of annihilation on his hand. In this way, even if he could not defeat Vita, he could still try to prevent Vita from having the opportunity to interfere with the Intrinsic World.

In this life, Su found Zhu Yufeng early on and had him engrave the annihilation mark on his hand. However, he hesitated about observing the quantum sea. So he asked Vill-V to add something to the specially made observation device, just in case.

Based on the available information, and considering Feng's description of the destruction of Venus, Su can conclude that Vita was a rather arrogant person, and that the destruction of Venus was largely related to her final desperate gamble. Su has never changed her opinion that Vita harbors great evil.

Because Vita truly harbored a deep malice, he sensed something was wrong the moment he saw her and immediately fled, no matter how friendly Vita appeared at the time... This could be considered an instinctive reaction, and Lilith was probably the only one who felt something similar to Vita.

Compared to Vita, Lilith's malice seems too weak. It only manifests as a strong sense of incongruity in Su's daily life. But... perhaps this is because Feng is by Lilith's side that Lilith has to conceal her true nature. When it comes to inherent evil, it is probably difficult to say who is more evil between Vita and Lilith.

After all, Vita had been wreaking havoc in the Quantum Sea for hundreds of millions of years, and her malice had been fully unleashed. Therefore, no matter how well she performed, Su would notice her immediately.

Lilith is different. Maple appeared by Lilith's side a long time ago, existing as Lilith's shackles. Therefore, although Lilith harbors great evil in her heart, she has not released it much.

Although the probability of encountering Vita during this renewed observation of the quantum sea is not high, it still exists, so we must be fully prepared before conducting the observation.

And now, everything is finally ready.

Su closed his eyes and began to activate the Thousand Worlds to observe the quantum sea.

On the other side.

Zhu Yufeng stared silently at Mostima. He couldn't believe that Mostima had regained her memories. It was absurd. Even Admil could only barely extract some key information about his previous life by searching his dreams, while Mostima remembered everything after just one surgery.

No, could it be that... it was actually because Mostima was truly on the verge of death at that moment that she remembered it?

But no matter what...

"Should I say, 'Welcome, Mostima'?" Zhu Yufeng said with a smile.

"Of course, but, Boss Yu Feng, I should have said that before you did," Mostima added with a smile. "Fallen Angel Mostima requests to rejoin the team!"

Sitting next to Zhu Yufeng, Elysia silently took a sip of her milk tea, then glanced at Lilith. Seeing that the other woman's expression didn't change and seemed indifferent to this matter, she looked away. Indeed, Lilith would be indifferent to this kind of thing. As for herself... well, she was used to it. Besides, even before Mostima regained her memories, she had already developed feelings for Feng.

She was also puzzled as to how Mostima had managed to recall her memories of her previous life. Lilith was easier to explain; it was because Lilith's consciousness was bound to Feng's, so she actually perished and died with Feng, and naturally, she would have memories as well.

Mostima, however, sacrificed herself in the Tragedy of Binding long ago, and according to her own account, her memories only went up to the Tragedy of Binding. If Mostima regained her memories, is it possible that other Fallen Angel could also regain their memories?

However... if we really have to say it, it's more abnormal for the Flame-Chasers to have memories. The Fallen Angel were at least absorbed by Feng and became one with him, so it's understandable that they have memories. On the contrary, the Flame-Chasers, especially the Flame-Chasers who were the first to sacrifice themselves, are indeed very strange, putting aside their identity Origin...

In the end, the only explanation is that everyone is a "character" in the story that Feng knows, so Feng unconsciously took care of them when he unconsciously created the world.

"But now that I've regained my memories, there's something strange." Mostima turned her gaze to Elysia. "Although you, Boss Yu Feng, did clearly say you liked Elysia in your past life, in my memory, Elysia and Yu Feng seemed to have a relationship that was more like that of strangers."

Elysia: "..."

Suddenly the milk tea in my hand doesn't smell so good anymore... How did this affect her? Shouldn't Lilith be your enemy?

"A lot of things have indeed happened..." Zhu Yufeng almost couldn't hold back when he heard Mostima's assessment. "Regarding this matter, Elysia and I both have our own faults. After the Tragedy of Binding, we stopped communicating and seeing each other. It was only this incident that gave us a new conversation and a new opportunity to understand each other... That's about it... But... indeed, I should apologize to you."

Only at this moment would a strong sense of guilt well up inside him. To Mostima and the others, Elysia could almost be considered the mastermind behind the annihilation of the Fallen Angel, and he was the Present maintaining a relationship with Elysia that was almost like that of lovers...

I feel ashamed.

He always harbored a deep sense of regret towards the Fallen Angel, often wondering what would have happened without him? Would things have been better or worse? Lilith did say that if he hadn't been there, she would have died before the Seventh Law, because she was already weary of the world, and the others would have had their own destinies.

According to Aponia, their fates should have ended long before the Tragedy of Binding.

Even so, Zhu Yufeng did not believe that he had brought anything to the Fallen Angel.

Lilith glanced at Zhu Yufeng and Elysia's expressions, took a sip of her milk tea, and then, in her mind, ranked Mostima higher based on her success in winning over Zhu Yufeng. She moved Pardo was originally ranked third, and everyone else down one place, while Mostima was moved directly to the third position.

Perhaps Mostima entered the race a little late in her life, but compared to others, Mostima has a very strong buff this time. As the only Fallen Angel member besides herself who has regained her memories, she was scheming and plotting in the Tragedy of Binding, while Mostima chose to die purely on her own initiative.

This alone is enough to make Mostima, even though he started late, almost at the finish line...

After all, Feng basically doesn't care about anyone other than Flame-Chasers, but he really cares about the Fallen Angel. The Present, what kind of experience is it for Feng to have a Fallen Angel other than himself regain his memories?

Even though she had already told him that without him, her fate and that of the other Fallen Angel would have ended much earlier, and that she had deliberately used the Tragedy of Binding to achieve her own goal, and moreover, that she had already said when she was about to "die" in her previous life that the Fallen Angel had all accepted Admil's proposal and voluntarily used their own lives to pave the way for his ascension to God.

Will Ke Feng really accept this so easily?

In Feng's eyes, even though he changed everyone's original fate, the Tragedy of Binding the Tragedy of Binding — the Fallen Angel who could have lived but died because of him—is an obstacle he can never the Present.

The same the Present to Elysia. Elysia has suffered so many setbacks at her hands, and the Tragedy of Binding played a significant role in that. She has always felt guilty towards herself, even though she already knows that she used the Tragedy of Binding ulterior motives. But Mostima is different.

From Elysia's perspective, Mostima is a completely innocent victim, so if Mostima insists on playing, Elysia might suffer a setback... or even have to back down.

In conclusion, even though Mostima is new to the track, her skill level here is enough to easily surpass Pardofelis, who was originally ranked third, and she might even gain an advantage over Elysia occasionally.

If I had this hand, I could make the most of it. This would be a huge advantage over my starting hand in my previous life. I would have so many more cards to play.

I've never fought such a well-funded battle before.

Unfortunately... Mostima, as a poker player, is clearly not skilled enough.

Mostima is not a human, but as a bad person, Mostima is clearly not bad enough. Zhu Yufeng treats the other Fallen Angel as family, and isn't Mostima the same? Just how important is Zhu Yufeng in Mostima's eyes?

It can only be said that Mostima would never use Zhu Yufeng's guilt as a card in her hand, even though it would be extremely advantageous for her.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. It wasn't just Mostima; the other Fallen Angel were the same. None of them would blame Zhu Yufeng for this, because in everyone's eyes, it was their own choice. Whether it was following Zhu Yufeng in his resolute fight against the Law of Restraint, or obeying Admil's arrangements and sacrificing their own lives to build a ladder for Zhu Yufeng to ascend to godhood, it was entirely a choice made by each person out of their own will.

"Because we are all lonely monsters rejected by the world, huddling together for warmth," Lilith thought to herself.

However, even if Mostima doesn't know how to use or doesn't want to use this card, it doesn't represent Zhu Yufeng's thoughts. So, this is basically a super strong buff that Mostima the Present with, one that no one else has.

What do you mean by winning at the starting line?

"Huh?" Mostima was taken aback. "Apologize? Why? Boss Yu Feng, I'm so grateful to you, why are you apologizing to me?"

Zhu Yufeng remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Because you... could have lived."

Mostima was silent for a while before giving a helpless smile and saying, "Could I have... lived? Yu Feng, do you know? What I'm thinking about isn't just my past life, but also the love from the life before that. You want to know, what would we have been like if we hadn't met you? I don't know about the others, but I can say that I know that Beifengge would have been executed as a traitor, Astaroth would have been burned to death by Kevin's Heavenfire, and I... would have been used as cannon fodder, stuffed into the Divine Blessing Barrier to buy time for others."

In a past life?

Zhu Yufeng, Elysia, and Lilith all looked at Mostima. The extent to which this memory was recalled... was truly unique.

"So what is there to apologize for? In my past life, I at least died as Heroes, though I don't really care. What I do care about is that I died for the people I was willing to die for." Mostima smiled and said, "Boss Yu Feng, if this matter has caused you trouble, then I should be the one apologizing, shouldn't I?"

Well, Mostima played a pretty good hand, even though it seemed more like a random play, but it was clearly effective against Maple.

Lilith took another sip of milk tea.

I've been following in Elysia's footsteps lately and have been eating a lot of sweets, but I'm not one to gain weight easily, so it doesn't matter if I eat more.
