Chapter 149

Seele: "Yes, I'm sorry, my other self, I didn't mean to fall asleep!"

How embarrassing!

Even if Seele was naive, she knew that falling asleep during that crucial time was a very shameful thing.

Just as Veliona said, she was like an idiot!

Veliona: "Huh? What are you worried about? You don't actually think I need your comfort, do you?"

Seele: "No, isn't that right?"

Seele blinked her innocent-looking big eyes. "If you don't care, why are you so angry?"

Veliona: "Of course not. You did something that upset me, and an apology is the punishment you must receive. Whether I forgive you or not depends on my mood."

Veliona: "So, I'm not Watson, but because you didn't finish what you were supposed to do!"

Seele: "Oh... yes, I'm sorry!"

Although she didn't know the exact difference, Seele instinctively started apologizing.

As long as she apologizes, no matter the reason, her other self will forgive her.

In the scene, Veliona lies by the bed, gritting her teeth and looking at the sleeping Seele with a displeased expression, yet she is completely helpless to do anything about it.

"Huh? You just fell asleep like that? Hey, who gave you permission to sleep? You still have something to say to me, don't you?"

"Say a little more! Say you need me, say you treat me as an equal, say I'm very important to you!"

"Although I don't care about any of this, I've only been listening reluctantly because you said it!"

But this idiot actually fell asleep.

Judging from her even breathing, she must still be sleeping soundly, leaving Veliona with only a look of displeasure.

"Idiot! Idiot! Idiot Seele!"

"..."

The only response to the noise was the sound of breathing in a deep sleep, each breath mirroring the fluctuating emotions of Veliona.

"Actually, you really don't need me anymore. You're growing up day by day, becoming more mature and independent, and one day you'll be able to master all the power of this body."

"I was created to protect you, but you... no longer need my protection."

Seele is growing up day by day, making new friends and entering a new environment.

Veliona also understood that once Seele fully mastered her body and the power of the Stigmata, she might no longer be needed.

"You are strong enough. So many people like you, and you can handle everything on your own."

"I knew this day would come. I knew I was destined to disappear."

"His unreasonable outbursts of temper with you are just a way to mask his inner anxiety, disappointment, and loneliness."

"In the end, you're the one apologizing and comforting me. You're such an idiot, an overly gentle idiot."

"I don't believe those broken dolls. I understand your feelings. After all, we're the same person; we're both Seele."

Veliona sat on the edge of the bed, quietly expressing her feelings.

Seele was still fast asleep, her tired eyes tightly closed, telling the story of a long day.

"When that day comes, I will stay by your side and protect you from anyone. Then, when the day comes when you truly transform from your cocoon into a butterfly..."

"..."

Veliona stared intently at Seele's sleeping face, then reached out and pulled the blanket up over her shoulder.

Halfway through the action, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

What on earth did I say?!

Veliona stared intently at Seele's face to make sure she was asleep; otherwise, she would have wanted to crawl into a hole and bury herself in it.

"What's wrong with me? Did I eat something bad? But I wasn't the one who ate it, so it's still this idiot's fault!"

"Hey! How can you sleep so soundly? Are you laughing at me? This is infuriating!"

Enraged, Veliona seized control of Seele's body while she was asleep and sat down in front of the dressing table.

"Why should I worry about that idiot Seele for so long? I'll write 'Seele is an idiot' all over your face, so everyone will laugh at you tomorrow."

After drawing and writing on her face, Veliona looked at her reflection in the mirror and became unhappy again.

"Forget it... it's still my body, it's not worth it."

"You idiot Seele!"

After muttering something to herself, Veliona went back to bed to sleep.

After a lot of busywork done in a muddle, the only one who suffered was the picture of Seele in front of the dressing table, which ended up with a pig's head drawn on it.

The video ends here.

Elysia: "Pfft~"

Bronya: "Veliona, is there anything else you want to say?"

Just now, Veliona looked exactly like a little girl who had been neglected and was starting to get upset and throw a tantrum.

She was completely different from her usual imposing self.

Now that there's both witness testimony and physical evidence, she's practically screaming "I like Seele" and "I want Seele to coax me" on her face.

Let's see how Veliona tries to argue now.

Veliona: "Shut up!"

Seele: "My other self, I never expected you to see me this way. You're usually so fierce, I thought you didn't like me. That's why I ignored your feelings. I promise I won't do that again!"

Veliona: "Huh? Did you really think I was angry because of you?"

Elysia: "Isn't that right?"

Veliona: "Of course not, I just wanted to draw a pig's head on her face, but I was afraid of smudging my own."

Absolutely not, Veliona resolutely refused to admit that she would be jealous of that coward.

It's like she's the one who needs to be taken care of!

Elysia: "Ahem, actually I bought a little speaker from Pardo. It has a sweet voice, clear sound quality, and even a recording function."

Veliona: "?!!"

Elysia: "Play~, actually you don't need me anymore... You overly gentle idiot... I will always protect you... Seele, you idiot Seele! Why should I have to worry about idiot Seele for so long?!"

The Chat Group suddenly fell silent.

Everyone is waiting to see what Veliona will do next: be angry, embarrassed, or just deny it all with her usual tsundere attitude?

Bronya was a little upset about Elysia teasing Seele, but she said she could accept it if she could see Veliona's amusing reactions.

[Veliona uses Concept Card, Without a Trace.]

[From the highest heavens to the deepest hells, for the next twelve hours, Veliona will be completely isolated from the world.]

Bronya: "They actually escaped?"

Theresa: "After all, it's a public execution, Elysia, you've gone too far!"

The dean stood up righteously and spoke out in defense of the lovely students, denouncing the unscrupulous and evil forces.

Elysia: "So?"

Theresa: "Are those little trumpets still available? I want one too."

Pardofelis: "There's only one here, but if you want it, Pardo's Shop has other interesting items, like this tape recorder!"

[Chat Group expanded, congratulations to Apponia for joining Death Space.]

Pardofelis: "Sister Nia?"

Raiden Mei: "Apponia?!"

The sudden addition of new Chat Group members is nothing new, but this time, everyone could feel a burning, enthusiastic atmosphere.

Chakravartin: "Hahahaha, very good, very good! Apponia, your sins, your filthy flesh, I will burn you to ashes!!!"

Pardofelis: "Ah!!! It's on fire, it's on fire! Sister Elysia, help me, help me!!!"

Chapter 246 The Fight Begins, The Fight Begins

Flames, boiling, high temperature—the moment Apponia entered the Death Space, the raging fury of Chakravartin had already taken over the entire sky of that space.

In an instant, Death Space descended into chaos.

Elysia sat watching the play, Eden drank in Elysia's room, Vill-V remained indifferent in the workshop, and Pardofelis ran around searching for a savior.

Cosmo stared at the two without saying a word. Su Mo opened her eyes, and Sakura placed her hand on her weapon...

As for the others outside the Death Space, they were simply there to watch the show and enjoy the chaos.

The most intense battles are between Flame-Chasers, especially those between the top 3, Chakravartin and Apponia!

Kiana: "Let's fight! Let's fight! Chakravartin, Senju!"

Theresa: "As soon as we enter the Death Space, Chakravartin will fight her to the death. Apponia is the first one to do so."

In the past, whenever a new person joined the Chat Group, they were always given a warm welcome, almost to the point of setting off firecrackers in celebration.

Even the Gray Serpent of the World Serpent accepted his entry into the Chat Group with a rational attitude and did not harbor much malice towards him.

Apponia's treatment can only be described as unprecedented and likely to remain so.

Elysia: "After all, Apponia did a lot of good deeds that backfired, and Chakravartin is also quite pitiful."

Raiden Mei: "Aren't you worried about Elysia? Aren't you the one responsible for maintaining friendly relations between the Flame-Chasers?"

Elysia: "Oh... it's okay, there won't be a fight."

Pardofelis: "Sister Elysia, are you really okay? I won't get killed by the aftershocks, will I?"

Elysia: "It's okay, don't worry."

With a wave of her hand, Elysia sat down in the chair, while Pardofelis huddled underneath like a pitiful stray cat, her fluffy tail and body trembling.

Chakravartin: "Apponia, pay for your sins! Die!!!"

The scorching flames melted and vaporized the surrounding buildings. He was not facing Raiden Mei; Chakravartin entered battle mode as soon as he entered the arena.

Meanwhile, Apponia, high above, saw Elysia and the others below and gradually came to understand the current situation.

She lowered her head and silently glanced at the person below who wanted to kill her.

Apponia: "Chakravartin."

Chakravartin: "..."

The raging flames began to subside, as if following an inviolable law of nature.

Chakravartin: "There will never be a next time."

Kiana: "Wait, that's it? That's it? What happened to the Flame-Chasers, world-destroying battle between heroes?"

Raiden Mei: "This scene reminds me of when Apponia came to the rescue; Chakravartin was also extinguished in an instant like this."

Elysia: "The power of the Precepts is heavy and complex; it is the bondage that binds Apponia and the Shackles that Apponia imposes on others."

Elysia: "But since we've been apart for so long, let's not say anything unpleasant. Apponia, if you were in my shoes, you should understand the situation, right?"

Elysia pointed to the Flame-Chasers around her.

Sakura, Pardo, Cosmo... Chakravartin, and almost all the Flame-Chasers of Apponia, both close and hostile, are in this space.

The two missing are Griseo and Mobius.

The Ark Project has lost contact, and the Infinity Serpents have disappeared without a trace. Their whereabouts and status are the most mysterious and unknown to anyone.

Apponia: "You jest. Since that day, I have been unable to glimpse the traces of fate, so how could I know of any trajectory beyond the unusual? There is no place for fate here."

In the Death Space, a place beyond the reach of the rules of fate, Apponia was cleaved in two.

Elysia: "It's a good thing not to see fate, isn't it? Haven't you already learned that from it?"

Apponia: "That's right. To know one's fate yet be unable to change it is the pain God has given me, the punishment for peeking into destiny."
