Yes, this was the excuse Lin En had come up with. He still intended to force her hand and keep her under his thumb.
First, explaining everything would be a pain. More importantly, he absolutely could not undermine his image as an Outer God. Although he really had done nothing heinous, wouldn't it be embarrassing if she learned that he hadn't committed any atrocities after going down there? After all, he, Lin En, was an utterly evil, twisted Outer God.
Divine Chosen Saya stared fixedly at him.
"You want to use my people against the Lord of Crimson?!"
"Exactly."
Lin En said slowly:
"Two tigers cannot share one mountain. At least for now, my interests align with your Church's. If she becomes an Outer God, neither of us will have an easy time, so I don't want her to die either. Of course, the most important reason is that she really trusts me now. How could I let her die before I've squeezed every last drop of value out of her?"
One of Lin En's tentacles slid across her cheek, leaving a faint wet streak. His voice dripped with depravity.
"More importantly, she's a very pretty girl, too. How could I let her die so easily before she's even grovelled at my feet?"
Hahahahaha!
[Ding! Shinsen Saya's hatred toward you +100!]
Shhk-
Shhk-
"Bastard! You bastard!!"
At that moment, Shinsen Saya could no longer hold back. The sword in her hand stabbed through his body again and again, as though she wanted to cut him to pieces.
But Lin En only grew more gleeful.
ヽ(￣▽￣)ﾉ
Go on, stab me. Stab me.
He, Lin En, was exactly the sort of person who loved to toy with her. Although he had no intention of doing anything like that to Ophiel,
