Just as Chen Ran was about to say something else, he saw Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, who had already lain down, climb back up on her own. Then she gently floated off to look for her phone.
Only three hours of gaming a day? No problem. It was nighttime anyway, so she could sneak in some playtime.
But honestly—
Heart of the Corrupted Skadi could not really be considered an internet-addicted girl.
Because the ultimate goal of the Sea Creatures' Great Swarm was to go to the docks and grab some fries.
Now that Chen Ran was keeping her, with no worries about food or drink, her goal had already been completely achieved.
Under normal circumstances, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's previous state—sinking motionlessly at the bottom of the tank, depressed and unresponsive—was actually the correct one.
It had already been written very clearly in Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's module text.
After scattering all of Terra to the winds and ascending into the stars, with no goals left at all, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi chose to stop thinking. She let her consciousness dissipate and her body expand, until she transformed herself into a brand-new universe.
Now, Chen Ran's appearance had merely anchored her here.
But she still had nothing to do, so if she did not play on her phone, what else was she supposed to do?
So, as Chen Ran watched Heart of the Corrupted Skadi happily float away, then happily float back clutching her phone, sit on his shoulder, and start playing with it—
Chen Ran reached out and poked Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's little head. "Little Rabbit knew to hand all her permissions over to me in one package. What about you, Red T?"
Forget the permissions and the newborn's ID. What about the Great Silence? Hand it over already.
But upon hearing that, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi tilted her little head, then stretched out her small hand and randomly tapped at her phone screen.
Chen Ran leaned over for a glance and discovered that Heart of the Corrupted Skadi was typing "how to make spicy rabbit head" into the search bar.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ran asked. "Did Little Rabbit offend you?"
"?" Heart of the Corrupted Skadi looked utterly innocent. "Didn't Lord God say you wanted Little Rabbit, and wanted her packaged, and wanted her poured over?"
"Good grief. After all that, Red T, all you remembered was food?"
Heart of the Corrupted Skadi: Amiya, You Are Disloyal!
If Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's little gaze had not been so innocent that anyone could tell she was not lying, then who knew—
As Chen Ran thought that, he suddenly caught sight of Amiya in the corner of his eye.
Turning his head, he saw Amiya poking her little head out of the cage like a hamster, looking left and right.
Chen Ran naturally waved at Amiya. "Little Rabbit, come here."
Hearing that, Amiya obediently floated out through the window. Only after floating all the way before Chen Ran did she speak. "Um... I'm very sorry, Lord God..."
"Why are you suddenly apologizing?" Chen Ran asked curiously.
But Amiya stammered and hesitated, unable to explain herself even after a long while.
While Amiya said nothing, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, who had been sitting on Chen Ran's shoulder, raised her head to look at Amiya, then turned to look at the little castle behind her.
Heart of the Corrupted Skadi clearly remembered that the little castle belonged partly to her too.
So when she saw Amiya leave without even closing the window, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi was immediately displeased.
Thus, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi stood up from Chen Ran's shoulder, turned around, and floated over to close the little castle's window.
In the end, Chen Ran was the one who guessed what was going on. He turned back to Amiya and asked, "Is it because I gave you a bunch of crowns before? So you think the loyalty you offered me is worthless now?"
"Mm..."
Amiya nodded her little head.
"Don't worry. Even if I really were a god, the normal process should be for believers to offer sacrifices, then start asking me for supernatural power. How did it get reversed with you, Little Rabbit?"
"That's because Lord God, you've already helped me so much..."
As the embodiment of truth, goodness, and beauty, Amiya would never think that taking things was only natural. "But I..."
"No, I merely threw the mess back to Little Rabbit for you to handle yourself."
Chen Ran waved his hand. "After all, you understand the situation on your home planet better than I do. Shooting all the higher-ups dead does not mean every remaining Terran is a paragon of truth, goodness, and beauty."
"Mm..."
Amiya opened her little mouth, then closed it again.
Because she really could not refute him.
After the matter of the "Tower," what would happen next on that planet model of Terra—the Demon King Rabbit route?
First, news came from within the Tower. Bad news—no, not bad news.
Then, the remaining Terrans discovered that they had become their own masters.
Finally, the throne stood empty, but there was a sea of people wanting to climb onto it.
Even if they shot all the upper ranks of the feudal slave society dead, when the remaining Terrans rebuilt their nation, it would still be a feudal slave society.
If those Terrans were allowed to keep developing, it would ultimately be nothing more than another cycle.
Did she understand the sheer weight of spending ten thousand years running in place?
Amiya naturally understood that too, so she gently floated onto Chen Ran's shoulder, sat down, and lowered her little head. "Then... Lord God, what do you think I should do...?"
"I don't know."
Chen Ran gave an excellent answer. "If you ask me, all I can tell you is that I have a bottle of insecticide over there. One spray, and it's done—but Little Rabbit, you definitely wouldn't be willing to do that, so all I can say is that I don't know."
Amiya had originally raised her little head, but after hearing that, she lowered it again.
Anyway, Chen Ran's attitude was clear. He would not interfere. If he was made to interfere, then there would only be killing.
"I understand." Amiya seemed to have made some kind of decision as she raised her little head again. "Thank you for your magnanimity, Lord God."
"Don't thank me."
Chen Ran rubbed Amiya's little head with his fingertips and said:
"Though in games and novels, a character has to grow in order for it to count as a well-told story."
"Little Rabbit, don't really make one huge leap from truth, goodness, and beauty to a personality of, 'What should I do? There's only killing!'"
"One internet-addicted girl, Skadi, is already enough of a headache. If I get another Great Extinction Rabbit, that'll be way too entertaining."
After all, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi had set such a shining example, so who knew what kind of determination Amiya had made with that resolute expression?
And just as Amiya froze for a moment, then scratched her cheek with both embarrassment and awkwardness—
Tap, tap.
The sound of someone swiping a phone screen suddenly came from behind them, making Chen Ran and Amiya both instinctively turn around.
They saw that after Heart of the Corrupted Skadi had finished closing the little castle's window and was returning the way she came—
She discovered that her exclusive throne, Lord God's shoulder, had actually been occupied by a little rabbit!
How could Heart of the Corrupted Skadi possibly stand for that?
And based on the order in which Heart of the Corrupted Skadi was tapping the screen, Chen Ran roughly guessed that she was still typing "how to make spicy rabbit head."
But with that force behind her taps...
If last time Heart of the Corrupted Skadi had been innocent and pure—
Then this time, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi had very obviously mixed in a little personal grudge.
... ... ...
... ...
"Something feels strange."
Late at night.
As usual, Chen Ran lay on the sofa scrolling through his phone.
But he muttered to himself:
"How long has it been?"
"The day before yesterday, I caught Red T."
"Yesterday, I used a bug exploit to turn myself into Homelander."
"Today, I can directly create things out of thin air."
"It's only been three days in total?"
Was it really first day, protect our Earth; second day, protect my Earth; third day, I don't eat beef anymore?
Yet Chen Ran was still curled up on this sofa, playing low-dimensional games with Heart of the Corrupted Skadi and Amiya.
Chen Ran felt that his mentality was actually pretty good.
Though more likely, it was because he was socially lazy by nature, and his life was actually going quite well.
If this were put on some office worker capable of raising ten Evil Sword Immortals...
Forget it.
Chen Ran put down his phone, turned his head, and looked at the hamster cage on the desk... no, the little castle.
"What are Red T and Little Rabbit doing?"
"Little Rabbit might be asleep, but Red T is definitely still staying up."
"But Red T didn't come over today to stuff her feet into my mouth, and she didn't come over to sneakily play on my phone either. What is Red T doing?"
The answer was that Heart of the Corrupted Skadi was holding Amiya's phone and scrolling away right in front of Amiya.
"Mm..." Amiya looked troubled. "If even the Black Crown is just roadside trash to Lord God... then what should I offer to thank Lord God for everything He has done for me?"
Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, who had been scrolling through her phone, raised her little head upon hearing that. She held up the phone in her hand and pointed at the screen.
"Huh? Miss Red Skadi, what are you trying to show me?"
Amiya looked confused and instinctively read the words on the screen. "Mm... Take off the black stockings on your legs and give these freshly removed, original black stockings as a gift, that is the best—eh, eh, eh?! W-wait! Miss Skadi, what are you making me look at?!"
Hearing that, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi tilted her head, seemingly unable to understand why Amiya was reacting so strongly.
But when she lowered her head and looked at Amiya's legs, discovering that this Demon King Rabbit was bare-legged and not wearing black stockings at all, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi finally understood.
So Heart of the Corrupted Skadi swiped her phone again and showed Amiya the screen.
"The best Christmas gift... is for a girlfriend to use a red ribbon to package herself up as a present and give herself to—Th-this won't work either!"
Amiya still knew shame.
But Heart of the Corrupted Skadi blinked.
Giving black stockings would not work because Amiya was not wearing any. That reason was acceptable.
Giving herself would not work? Then she was unwilling.
"You are disloyal." Heart of the Corrupted Skadi delivered her verdict.
Amiya: "?"
PS1: What? Why did someone add a yuri tag to this book? Delete it.
Little Rabbit, Why Are You Wearing Red T's Clothes?
"N-no, no, no..."
Amiya shook her little head and floated backward.
"Um... I think whether I wear black stockings or not, and whether I... offer myself up... shouldn't rise to the level of whether I'm loyal or not... right?"
Unless her Lord God was actually a god who controlled lewdness.
And nun uniforms were real black stockings or something...
At that thought, Amiya could not help curling her toes. Unfortunately, she was floating, so she could not dig out a three-bedroom apartment with them.
Fortunately, the black veil over her face not only added a hazy, mysterious charm, but also happened to cover the embarrassment on her face.
But Heart of the Corrupted Skadi did not care about any of that.
