I really only stop

Time stop!

Turned on Time Stop without hesitation, at this time Lu Xi no longer had the desire to chat.

Unlike lying, Miss Heyera's tone was so gentle even when she was telling such a terrifying content - but it was even more frightening.

The elves have undergone such a drastic change, Yuxia is more reassuring, but seeing so many elves dying under the plague, how frightened will Nana and Celica be?

Before, I was still wondering why Heyera dragged me here specially. Unexpectedly, it was a mysterious test on the surface, but in fact she was trying to hold me back and prevent me from participating in what happened outside ?

One way is all right, after thinking about this problem, Lu Xi finally slowly understood what Haiyera said before.

According to Heyera's own statement, the purpose of this first-generation saint from the very beginning was to "let a deadly plague break out in the holy land of elves".

However, Her Majesty Lacey Levy also specifically introduced before that the holy land of the elves is always guarded by a huge seal and the World Tree itself. Without the recognition of the elves and a series of complicated procedures, outsiders will not be able to sneak into the holy land of the elves anyway. Come.

——So, she relied on us, to be more precise, [my] help.

After the fall of Themis, only she and I knew that Hyera was in my belly.Because of the skillful hiding technique, even His Majesty, who is as sensitive to the holy light as the Pope, couldn't see the slightest flaw.

Relying on Miss Heyera's help, I have mastered the [Natural Saint]-level Holy Light Affinity that is not inferior to Yuxia.Not only did she help a lot in the final battle with Mr. Musta, but I also enjoyed my communication with her in daily life.

With the thought of "I already have the pendant of the system on my body, it doesn't matter if I add another first-generation saint", gradually, I accepted the existence of this first-generation lady.

I thought life would continue as usual, but who would have thought——

"—Miss Heyera, you have been hiding your true purpose."

Relying on the huge advantage of stopping to think, Lu Xi used a comprehensive review of the matter to force himself to calm down:

"The method she used was [plague], and the puppet who may control the plague undoubtedly refers to Mr. Musta. In order to prevent the latter from affecting her plan, Miss Heyera should have made some Prepare--"

【Come on, let me show you a hand. 】

The uppercut that decided the outcome in the final decisive battle with Musta reappeared in his mind, and Lu Xi, who felt more and more swollen in the brain, reached out and rubbed his temples.

Yes, it must be this time.Apart from this blow, there was no interaction between Miss Heyera and Mr. Musta.

Some kind of trigger [seal] means——in the best case, that's what Miss Heyera mixed into that punch.

As the [primary clergyman] in the world, Miss Heyera, who has a high control over the Holy Light, will naturally not worry that the plague she detonated will be expelled by Yuxia, who is also a saint.After solving Mr. Musta who may increase the variables, the only person she needs to worry about is——

"【I.】"

Under her witness, countless miracles have been created, and she seems to be omnipotent.

Looking around at the pitch-black space inside his body, Lu Xi finally understood everything.

Relying on the previous backhand to solve the old man Musta, and then pull me who knows nothing about magic and holy arts into the spiritual space.After doing all this, Miss Heyera's main body broke free from my body, and then detonated a deadly plague in the outside world—and judging from her attitude just now, this purpose has been [[-]% 】It is confirmed that it has been realized.

What a perfect and clear course of action.As the planner and executor of the plan, every move of Heyera is directed towards her ultimate goal - [destroy the elves with the plague, and spread pain and death on the isolated holy land of elves].

No emotion was mixed, no extra action was taken.In this way, Miss Heyera moved forward step by step and unwaveringly, and sounded the bell of the end for the elves.

Things have come to this point, what she has done has surpassed the scope of evil deeds, and the back view alone is enough to make people feel awe-inspiring.

However, even if she has figured out everything she has done, there is still the last and most critical question that she has not figured out——

He suddenly raised his head to look at the first-generation saint who was silent on the spot. Even though he was in a time-stop state, a complex light still flashed in Lu Xi's eyes:

"Miss Heyera, why on earth did you do such a thing?"

------------

"Already tried it?"

Unsurprisingly, looking at Lu Xi [Carton]'s figure for a moment, Hiyera just smiled calmly:

"My guess is not wrong. You are completely ignorant of holy arts and magic, and you don't even know the most basic way to return from the spiritual body to the body. In my spare time, I often wonder why there is you in the world Such a person who [has no common sense]? To use an extreme example, you are like a monster who has traveled from a different world without extraordinary abilities."

It seems that returning the spiritual body to the body should be a very simple matter, but because of the difference in common sense, I never realized it.That's why I was so easily trapped in the world made up of my own heart.

but……

Already not knowing what attitude to use to face Heyera who has done these things, Lu Xi said in a deep voice:

"First, I accurately stated my mental state, and now I discovered my lack of common sense. I have to say that Miss Hiyera's understanding of me has really reached an amazing level."

"After all, I've been hiding in your stomach."

Smiling noncommittally, Hiyera blinked at Lu Xi:

"Seeing what you see, thinking about what you might be thinking, witnessing the choices you make... I've been with you day and night for so long, maybe I'm the one who understands you best in this world~"

"Then please answer me, Miss Hyera."

No longer able to guess the slightest thought of Haiyera from her innocent smile, Lu Xi asked word by word:

"Going through all this, and even dedicating all of yourself-what is the purpose of doing these things?"

"Would it do you any good to destroy the elves?"

"..."

As if being poked into the depths of her heart, Hiyera put away the smile that was always on her lips, and lowered her head slightly.

After a long time, she said softly and in a low voice:

"...just for a [promise] made a hundred years ago."

Chapter 683 Comprehensive Review

"Agreement?"

Unable to understand the content of Heyera's words more and more, Lu Xi tried to get more information:

"Who is it with? What is the specific content?"

"..."

Without making any further responses, Hiyera just stared at Lu Xi's figure steadfastly, and a gleam in her eyes flashed incomprehensible to ordinary people.

After a long time, she sighed softly:

"You should know."

I should know?

Compared to Hiyera when she expressed her thoughts with a [~] voice, Lu Xi found it more difficult for her to speak clearly at this time.

It is obvious that every word can be easily understood, but the deep meaning hidden behind the sentence has to be thought for a long time before it can be fully understood.

Fortunately, for those with the ability to stop time, the most indispensable thing is [time].

Time paused.

Considering Miss Heyera's attitude, she should have come to discuss business with me after she had achieved all of her goals.If not, she should continue to chat casually with me as before until the outside plan is fully realized.

The problem now is that I don't know how to get out of this [mental space].Even if he shoots Miss Heyera here, it is unknown what the consequences will be.

Since Miss Heyera still doesn't have the idea of ​​letting me go, let's just follow her wishes and sort out the matter in an all-round way.

------------

Different from the previous time, after the second time in a row, Lu Xi, who had returned to his calm mood, did not immediately think about the question [he should understand]. Instead, he approached the first-generation saint in front of him, wanting to Get some information from the opponent's current posture.

Different from the image of victims who are always bound and entangled with black iron thorns in the impression, Haiyera at this time is as light and beautiful as a bird breaking free from a cage.The statue of the first saint who embraced the world in front of the Sanctuary Cathedral seemed to reappear in front of Lu Xi at this moment.Seriously speaking, the temperament and beauty of Hiyera himself is far better than the statue reproduced by the sculptor with technology.

However, it is such an existence that is admired by all the clergy, but it has just committed the evil deed of destroying the entire race.

Shaking his head to dispel the confusion and doubts in his heart, Lu Xi focused more on Haiyera's lower abdomen.

...It's strange, it was obviously bulging before, why is it back to a flat state now?

Clearly thinking of something, Lu Xi's pupils shrank in shock.

Plague, yes!It's the plague!

When we met for the first time, although Hiyera was bound by thorns everywhere, she had nothing on her body except a simple dress. In this way, where did she conjure up the […] Plague?

There is only one possibility——

"Miss Heyera, did you actually stuff that kind of thing into your stomach?"

I thought I was used to the painful and distorted image of the "victim" of this first-generation saint, but when this conclusion was naturally deduced by myself, Lu Xi still couldn't help but gasped.

Totally unimaginable.What kind of [promise] can make people endure such great pain and do everything they can to make it come true.

From the very beginning, I noticed that there were a few holy flames burning sporadically on Miss Heyera's body.It is not as hot and bright as usual, on the contrary, it is as fragile as a candle that is constantly swinging in a stormy night.

If the prediction is not bad, when these holy flames are completely extinguished, Miss Heyera in front of her will come to an end completely.

Sighing complicatedly, Lu Xi stared at the smiling saint in front of him.

Although the impression I gave when I first met was really scary, but in the later getting along, I gradually discovered that the heart of the legendary first-generation saint is more lively than ordinary people imagined.

It didn't matter if she was manipulating the Holy Light Giant at that time, or sneaking out to feed me from time to time, when she communicated with me briefly, the joy and anger she showed were not fake.If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have confessed to her that I was an officer of the Demon King's Army.

In addition, when I talked about "Weakness" just now, the sadness and pity that came out of Ms. Heyera's eyes were not mixed with a trace of acting skills.She was genuinely grieving for me after discovering the nightmare I had been having.This sadness is so empathetic, as if it happened to her.

Such a holy, kind, and simple saint from the outside to the inside, but what he did was beyond everyone's expectations.

【I should have known】——What exactly does this mean?Was there a clue I was missing when I didn't notice?

Think about it!In the place where I met Hyera, in the lost city called [Themis]—

【——! 】

A flash of light flashed through his head like an electric shock, Lu Xi subconsciously looked down at his palm.

【Pure Demonic Nature·Pleasure】.

The next moment, three heavy weights appeared out of thin air and landed lightly on his palm.

----------

That's it.

Staring solemnly at the weight in his hand, Lu Xi nodded.

In [No. [-] Sky City Themis], not only the huge mystery of ten thousand years ago is hidden, but also traces of my former cadre, the joy of taking office [Oedipus] were found.

When I fell into the trap of the so-called "perfect society" described by Themis and couldn't find a breakthrough to break through her logic wall, it was the pleasant creation left by Oedipus that gave me a hint and let me discover Hidden Miss Hiera.

Thinking about it now, there is a problem that I temporarily ignored at that time.

As a member of the Demon King's Army, how did Oedipus enter the Holy See's "Trial of Holy Light" at that time, and how did he escape from Themis' "Complete Blockade"? of?

Even Themis said there was no record, how did he see the huge secret hidden behind Sky City?

【Did Miss Heyera make some sort of deal with Oedipus? 】

An extremely absurd idea popped out of Lu Xi's mind suddenly, and after that, it never lingered.

One is the first clergyman ten thousand years ago, a natural saint who was worshiped by the Holy See; There is absolutely no resemblance to Oedipus.But strangely, Lu Xi thought this was the truth of the matter.

Looking back now, there are still several [unnatural things] that can prove this inference.

According to the history of this world, the order of a series of major events ten thousand years ago is that the disaster suddenly came——Miss Hayera used the holy light to lead the intellectual race to rebel——Miss Hiyela disappeared, the savior came, defeated and sealed Calamity - the savior brings the now popular [Adventurer Power System].

However, when they met for the first time, Miss Heyera asked directly:

"[Outsider, who are you? An adventurer who came here to explore?]"

...how did she know the term?

“[There is a strange feeling on your body, what are you carrying?]”

...Does this refer to the magic imprint·pleasure?

"If we destroy Themis, will you and the researchers be affected?"

"【Will not.】"

...However, after the complete destruction of the protective wall, Themis immediately activated the self-destruct procedure.Except for this first-generation saint who got into my stomach and escaped, the rest of the researchers who turned into holy light energy bodies were all wiped out in the vortex of Themis.

The more I think about it, the more frantically the incongruities in my memory surge up.

Is the truth in Themis really what Cocoa and I deduced?Did everything we encountered really happen by chance?

There are more and more noises and questions in my mind.In the end, these noises turned into a familiar sentence, which coincided with the question just heard in Lu Xi's mind:

"You should have known."

as well as--
