Chapter 695: Chapter 236: The One Who Casts Off Their Name_1

Once he realized that this world had been deliberately crafted by the Bone Burial Granny,

it was easy to understand the sense of dissonance.

—It was precisely because "this is not the future of the Fog Continent" that there was such a vast difference.

Annan quietly tried something out.

The "Betrayal" and "Skeleton" Divine Arts powers that Elle possessed were, of course, completely unusable... But even though the concept of exchange existed in this world, when Annan tried to conduct a ritual for the Silver Baron, he received no response.

There was no way the Silver Baron would ignore Annan’s calls. The only possibility was that he hadn’t heard them.

This meant that although there were "curses" and "Curse Bindings" here, this place was indeed not the world of Fog.

This was because there was no evidence of True Gods like the Silver Baron existing here. In the world of Fog, the death of any deity would lead to the extinction of the "truth" it represented.

This was a true "Otherworld."

The rules between worlds cannot be generalized.

But later, when Annan tried calling out to the Bone Burial Granny in a trial... his ritual was immediately answered.

Apart from the bone burial ritual used for purifying the dead, the Bone Burial Granny typically did not respond to rituals—"Funerals" were one of the core rituals of Bone Burial Granny, and no one’s funeral had ever witnessed a miracle from her.

In other words, this was an Otherworld created by the Bone Burial Granny, with her as the sole deity.

And she had been watching their actions all along.

Without a doubt, this was very important information.

It meant that she must be expecting something.

If this Otherworld truly was a perfect nightmare prison in eternal recurrence, then she wouldn’t need to pay it much attention. Once the nightmare was created, she could disappear forever.

—It was this hypothesis that gave Annan confidence.

"How shameful of you."

Annan said silently to Elle in his mind, "I should be considered your Pope... Why do I need to come to your rescue?"

When Elle was born, the person who heard Elle’s scriptures was indeed Annan. In other words, Annan was the "Betraying Angel’s" keeper of secrets.

If Annan decided to establish a "Betraying Angel Church," then he could become the first Pope... The only reason he was not a Pope right now was merely because he hadn’t created a sect. And Elle didn’t have any followers other than Annan.

[I don’t want this either...]

Elle cried out in her heart.

[I’ve already given you complete control of my body... Please, save me, Your Highness Annan!]

"Ah..."

Annan sighed silently, "Leave it to me. I’ve already got a plan."

I’m on the way.jpg

All he needed to know was what Bone Burial Granny hoped to achieve. Then he could find the exit from the Eight Trigrams Array.

But... Elle had absolutely no self-awareness as a divine being.

Despite being the Betraying Angel, as the better half of the Skeleton Lord, she was higher in rank than a Pope. And yet, she was calling herself "Your Highness"...

While indulging in small talk with Elle, Annan didn’t stop his actions.

"Elle" took the coconut juice from Euphemia Melvin’s hands with a smile—She glanced at the packaging on the aluminum can, and her expression became somewhat peculiar.

Huh, Annan recognized this brand. To be exact, it was the only brand of coconut juice he knew...

"Don’t judge it by its flashy packaging, its taste is really quite good."

Euphemia said with a smile.

In just a few short hours, her familiarity with the city had reached the level where she could act as a guide.

This indicated that she had indeed fully immersed herself in exploring this city.

—Aside from Selicia, who knew that "teacher" was fake yet still indulged in this comfort, Euphemia Melvin, disguised as "Lily Rasputin," was also enjoying this nightmare.

But her enjoyment was completely different from Selicia’s.

If Selicia was indulging in the past that had passed, like bubbles,

Then Euphemia was simply enjoying the "present."

Euphemia still spoke in a relaxed tone as she recommended to Elle, and did not forget to introduce to Selicia, "I tell you, there are really a lot of delicacies on this street! And the prices are quite cheap too! With just the money a random passerby carries, I bought so much and ate for over an hour, and I haven’t even spent it all..."

"—Miss Euphemia."

Just then, "Elle" suddenly revealed a shallow smile and said to her politely, "I have some questions I’d like to ask you."

"...Euphemia."

Upon hearing this, Euphemia fell silent for a long while and sighed, "After so many years, it is nostalgic to hear her name.

"But I’m sorry, you’ve got the wrong person. Euphemia is indeed my friend, but she is not me. My name is Lily Rasputin..."

"[The shoulder fur of a brown calf, moistened with three drops of snake’s tears, wipe the surface when the ring is heated by flame until it is slightly warm but not red]."

"Elle" suddenly said, "Can you guess whose password this is?"

That light voice, like dancing notes... but filled with malice.

At this point, Euphemia had completely lost her voice. Even with the mask as a barrier, Annan could guess... how gloomy Euphemia’s face must be at the moment.

Of course, she did not know Lily’s password... not even Lily herself knew. But this three-part password was clearly the unique password of the Rasputin family’s secret ring. She knew the password rule of the Rasputin family because she had made Lily’s secret ring for her.

"...How is she doing now?"

"She’s naturally dead—and has been dead for a long time. Even her child has died... Her child had the talent of the Disabling School, not the Idol School."

"Elle," holding a coconut in her left hand, said leisurely, "You should have known all this before, right? But you did not speak.

"Yes, it was you who caused her death. She was thinking about getting the old Crow’s intelligence out until she died..."

"—That has nothing to do with me!"

Euphemia interrupted Elle abruptly and coldly.

But, looking at "Elle’s" meaningful smile, for a moment she was unable to say anything.

She could certainly hear it.

Every word said by "Elle"... was the truth.

Her friend was dead.

That did not surprise her—Lily had very little life left at the time. But her child also died because of her own reasons...

Yes, she had suspected it at the time. The adaptability of the Rasputin family’s wizards belonged to the Disabling School and the Decree School, not the Melvin family’s Idol School... If Lily gave birth to a child with the talent of the Disabling School for that immortal old man, given his suspicious nature in intelligence operations, he would definitely investigate secretly whether this was his own biological offspring—after which it was very likely to be discovered that Lily was not "Euphemia," that they had swapped identities.

After that, what kind of torture Lily and her child would suffer, Euphemia dared not even think about it.

...Yes, she had anticipated this possibility long ago.

But at that time, she simply hoped it would not happen out of luck.

However, now...

Euphemia felt a tremor in her heart, and that sudden, unjustified rage, the fear and guilt emanating from the depths of the abyss, were all hidden in her words:

"I...I didn’t want it to be like this..."

Her words were only half-spoken when they choked off.

She did not know how such a despicable self should justify herself.

—In any case, she was guilty.

And at that time, "Elle" approached like a smiling devil.

She whispered in her ear:

"...You know what?

"The child born to Lily’s sister, Anya—Annan Winter—is a peerless genius ritualist. He commands many rituals, naturally including those that compensate life.

"If Lily were in the Winter Duchy at that time, perhaps she wouldn’t have had to die.

"And all of this is because of the rebellion you launched against your family."

"—That wasn’t rebellion!"

Euphemia refuted instinctively, "It’s the Melvin family that is the biggest betrayal!"

—She had said it.

"Elle" squinted her eyes slightly.
