"No, I object."
I immediately vetoed Miss Terra's plan.
"A moral obsession won't help you win, especially when your opponent has no morals..."
"No. My role as the Unified Will is precisely to stop the Earth Crystal from doing something like this. Didn't you say I only needed to handle the emotional side?"
Interfering with people's wills was absolutely not something a god should do.
"Only free will can give rise to emotions that serve as nourishment, right? Can the faith of puppets on strings still be called faith?"
Miss Terra still tried to persuade me.
"Ceruno, as long as we can win, these mistakes can be corrected later. Let's win first, shall we? We only need to make slight adjustments to people's thoughts—make them accept the Thought Network, make them lean more toward you..."
Was that what Miluno on the stage thought too?
I still shook my head, though I could no longer muster much conviction.
"Miss Terra, is there another option?"
I wasn't some kind of "savage god." Forcing people to become believers like this was something I simply couldn't accept...
"You're still letting your feelings rule you too much."
When I said that, Miss Terra could only rub her forehead and sigh.
"However, I do have another method. It's also a strategy that girl has used before."
"If you had a method like that, you should've said so sooner!"
"Don't get happy too soon. This method requires you to make a small sacrifice."
"Huh? What method?"
Miss Terra poked my cheek. Though this was the Consciousness Ocean, the realistic illusion still made me feel her hard nail digging into my skin.
"Use your sex appeal."
How could she say such an awful idea with such a straight face?!
