Chapter 1113: Chapter 166: The Light That is Still Being Passed On

"...Huh?"

Husky expressed his confusion when he was called.

The moment Euphemia Melvin addressed him, he sensed a subtle tremble inside his heart—it felt like pressing one end of a ruler on a table’s edge and flicking the other end.

Although Husky had little experience in this area...

He instantly realized that this person was just like him.

Both were silver-tier Idol Wizards!

And they must belong to the same subdivision... Thus, they resonated upon "contact".

Resonance synchronized their state, mood, and influence to a certain extent. If their levels differed, the higher-tier individual would unconditionally affect the lower-tier one, while the lower-tier could not impact the higher-tier regardless.

—This is how the Idol School of Wizards operates.

Different from other schools.

Due to the "Law of Similarity" and "Law of Contamination", those most affected are the Idol Wizards themselves—they’ve accessed the same knowledge and mastered similar spells, creating the Law of Similarity; their similar approach to this knowledge forms a medium that enables "contamination".

This makes all Idol Wizards seem like they’re part of an internal network... much like some sort of animal group communicating through pheromones.

Whether interacting, opposing, or assisting, any form of connection between them leads to this resonance once they are close.

A higher-tier Idol Wizard has the control over a lower-tier one within the same faction, akin to a deity over its followers. He can easily alter the other’s thinking, make them trust someone or suddenly rage, or gradually make them resemble himself, thereby infiltrating—or rather, corrupting—their mind.

"...You’re an Idol Wizard under the Law of Similarity too, right?"

Feeling a mix of surprise and enthusiasm, Husky extended his hand: "Greetings senior! My name is Husky... I’m a new ’Creator’!"

—The genuine fervor and purity in the heart of the silver-haired girl instantly touched Euphemia Melvin.

Had it been anyone else, she would have suspected ill intentions.

But as the "resonance" between them remained unbroken, Euphemia Melvin effortlessly felt his sincerity and joy.

It wasn’t about seeking any benefits... nor about deceiving her, or pretension out of fear. It was a genuine happiness that stemmed from meeting "someone similar to oneself".

Euphemia Melvin had never seen someone so innocent. So pure it almost seemed ascetic.

She could even sense a vague divinity in Husky...

Because of the resonance between Idol Wizards, Euphemia Melvin’s heart too was moved. She had to confront Husky’s earnestness, she had to respond—

"...I am Euphemia."

She hesitated but still revealed her surname: "Euphemia Melvin... I’m a ’Child of God’."

Saying this, Euphemia Melvin felt a bitterness in her mouth: "Don’t be afraid of me, just let me finish speaking..."

Although she had already renounced the Melvin family.

The Melvin family had still left marks on her body.

—The result showed itself as her becoming a "Child of God" even without advancing in the Melvin family.

Her advancement had reached its end.

For the next career move of a "Child of God" was to become the Gold-tier "God Among Men." In other words, the Child of God is the egg that hatches into God Among Men.

Every time a "God Among Men" passes away, after seven years, a Child of God will become a God Among Men. It sounds much like an evolution of three stages in a Pokémon species...

And the "Child of God" career... doesn’t carry a good reputation.

To perfectly inherit the God Among Men, all "Children of God" are cultivated in exactly the same manner. Unless stripped of the "Melvin" surname, she still holds the right and duty to inherit the title of God Among Men as long as she remains a "Melvin".

A typical Melvin might take pride in this.

But after leaving her family, Euphemia had conducted numerous investigations...

The result was that inheriting the God Among Men might also involve inheriting the will.

In other words, each generation’s God Among Men... could essentially be said to be the same person.

Yufimia didn’t know whether inheriting this profession would erase her own will or merge it into "a greater self." But she felt disgusted by this fate anyway.

But Yufimia could never understand.

For some reason, even the "Wolf Professor" from those years was expelled.

—But why wasn’t she?

As long as she remains a "Divine Child," she will continue to cause spiritual contamination to the idol wizards around her, especially to those who deeply study the law of similarities.

One day, they will be mixed with elements belonging to "Melvin."

Initially, it starts with an extra Melvin family skill when leveling up; then gradually their words and actions shift towards hers. Eventually, they will become "Melvin without the Melvin surname"... According to Yufimia’s understanding, this is equivalent to killing her previous self.

However, in Husky’s eyes, which were so clear that they reflected Yufimia, there was no disgust or fear.

They were just as bright as ever.

Just like a baby who isn’t thinking about anything, pure.

Just looking into her eyes, Yufimia couldn’t help but become immersed.

And Husky’s words further shook her heart:

"I know what you’re afraid of, Yufimia! You’re worried about spiritual contamination, aren’t you!

"But, it’s still far from enough! To fully influence me, you’d need thrice the amount!"

"Thrice, huh..."

Yufimia murmured.

She pondered seriously, under what circumstances she’d cause thrice the resonance with Husky.

But Husky hadn’t finished speaking.

With a passionate voice, she declared, "No matter what difficulties we face, don’t be afraid! Face them with a smile! The best way to eliminate fear is to confront it——"

While speaking, Husky was gently punched by the young man next to her.

She couldn’t help but smile, playfully messing around with him.

Yufimia could sense it was a heartfelt, carefree laughter.

Even Yufimia herself didn’t know why she was so happy... or even what she was laughing about.

That boundless joy, like a shimmering avalanche, surged from deep within their resonating hearts, instantly submerging and freezing the gloom, irritability, and pain in Yufimia’s heart.

—She had long lost any notion of happiness. Those worries and pains, along with her true identity, locked her up like an iron cage.

Only by the captain’s side could she feel a bit at ease—only when sleeping by the captain’s side, the nightmare named "Melvin," her future being devoured by the "God of Mankind," would temporarily fade.

Or it was following the Expiator... After long-term psychological counseling and treatment by the Expiator, she finally unmasked herself, admitting she was "Yufimia Melvin."

Before that, she even dared not mention the word "Melvin."

...But just at this moment.

It was like suddenly wearing a pair of washed clean glasses, and she felt the entire world brighten.

Unable to feel joy for so long, she just stayed by Husky’s side, and her lips couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

Her always gloomy heart seemed to be unclogged and felt exhilarating.

...Initially, she just wanted to inquire about something related to Annan.

But just after a few words.

Yufimia suddenly didn’t want to find the captain anymore.

Because.

Captain, I think...

...I finally found my own light.

She gazed at Husky, silently reciting in her heart.
