I'm here to save the world, what are you doing?

I'm convinced. This silent queen is truly a deity, both reserved and repressed.

"Your Majesty, you played well!"

Lucius took the hand extended by Plotina and stood up from the ground. There was no anger or frustration on his face after being fooled, but only the calmness of accepting defeat.

When you are weak, even if you are angry, people will only think you are cute.

Learning to accept failure is a must for the strong. Moreover, Lucius did not gain nothing. At least he was confident that he had glimpsed the full picture of the witch's power.

Absolute control of the spiritual realm.

The consciousness, thoughts, cognition, memory and emotions of intellectual life...these are all toys that Plotina can play with at will.

No wonder the system calls it the cornerstone authority of the world. It is indeed terrifying.

This wave is not something Lucius can handle. Anyone who faces an enemy like Plotina will have to kneel down.

Apart from liberating the Supreme Lord to block interference, Lucius could not think of any effective response at this stage.

Then again, if Plotina in real life is so difficult to deal with, why would Lucius still play the market?

Is it destined that there will be no way to avenge the humiliation suffered this time?

"Thank you so much, it's mainly because of your good cooperation. I hope you enjoy your part in this performance."

"Also, you don't have to worry too much. When I was young, I wasn't as scary as you think."

"..."

Lucius looked at Plotina speechlessly:

"Could you please stop reading my mind? It's a bit too presumptuous."

The experience of having others know what you are thinking at any time is really not very pleasant, and it makes Lucius feel like he is running naked in front of Plotina.

Especially since he was still thinking about how to deal with Plotina, he felt a little embarrassed, so he could only suppress his mental activities and couldn't think freely.

"no problem."

Plotina agreed quite straightforwardly, "Let's sit down and talk. You probably have a lot of questions for me."

The palace attendants came in one after another carrying tables, chairs, fruits, and snacks, and in a blink of an eye, they transformed the library into a private space suitable for conversation.

During this process, Plotina didn't say a word, and she completed the arrangements of the puppets with just a thought. The more Lucius watched, the more puzzled he felt. He felt that Plotina was deliberately doing this to show how ridiculous his previous behavior was.

"If I ask, will you answer truthfully?"

Lucius was not shy at all. He first stretched out comfortably in the chair, then picked a grape and put it in his mouth, as if he was at home.

When the gap between the enemy and us is too big, we don't need to care too much about the gap. Just do whatever you want. If Plotina cares about these things, she will be the one who is embarrassed.

"You need to discern this for yourself. Choosing to trust others is itself a gamble."

"I decided a long time ago not to trust anyone anymore. People can't understand each other, but puppets are different. They don't have calculations, lies, or hatred. Don't you think this world is beautiful?"

Lucius: ...

You seem a bit too extreme.

Is the whole world distorted just for this reason?

Also, if you really think the world is beautiful enough, then why is there a hint of loneliness in your voice?

"Ahem, I won't comment on this. You should first answer my question - why did you notice me as soon as I arrived?"

"Or is this world always under your surveillance?"

If the answer is the latter, that's a bit too scary.

"I'm not that bored. It's just that Splenda happens to be at the core of the divine realm, so I pay more attention to it."

"Based on this premise, it's hard not to notice a person who no longer exists, breaking through layers of barriers and appearing out of thin air in your own home."

Plotina replied nonchalantly.

The so-called divine domain is actually the product of the true god using his great power to cut off a corner of the inner side of the world, and using the artifact of laws to cast his own will and divine power into it.

When a true god is in it, he can enjoy an exaggerated increase in divine authority, inexhaustible divine power, and immortality that allows him to be reborn as long as the divine realm does not collapse.

Generally speaking, once the location of the divine domain is fixed, it cannot be moved. True gods need the help of law artifacts to obtain partial blessings outside the divine domain. Only the eternal true god can expand the divine domain at will with himself as the anchor point.

The core of the divine realm was breached and infiltrated, and the level of fear was comparable to someone suddenly crawling into your bed in the middle of the night.

Damn, after all this time it turns out there’s something wrong with the spawn point location.

Lucius seemed relieved after figuring everything out.

"Wait, if I remember correctly, you said last time that you would 'keep me well'. How come I'm 'someone who no longer exists' now?"

Alas, woman, your name is fickleness.

"That's why I said don't trust anyone easily."

Plotina smiled, one hand supporting her chin, and with the other hand she picked up a book from the pile of books Lucius had found earlier and flipped through it.

"If you want to get information, why don't you come directly to me?"

"Trying to seize the initiative this way is a good idea, but if you want to achieve your goal, I suggest you change the direction of your exploration. Looking back, you may gain greater rewards."

"Oh my goodness, sister, are you so generous? You should know what my goal is, right?"

Lucius looked at Plotina in shock, and his body subconsciously sat up straight.

His goal is simple, to stop the witch from destroying the world, and the best way he can think of at this stage is to subdue the witch.

Plotina, who could read minds, must have known this very well. Originally, such things should not be mentioned to avoid embarrassment for both parties, but Lucius did not expect Plotina to be so generous and even give advice.

Alas, Plotina, I adore your teeth!

The absolute strength and the loneliness that comes with it will teach you that the person you love will be...

"It's just a suggestion. If you could get things done simply by wanting to do it, then nothing in the world would be difficult."

"Of course, the most important thing is that your success or failure has nothing to do with me. After all, I am just a 'virtual' being."

Lucius: ...

It seems that this is indeed the case. Anyway, you will not suffer any loss in the final result. You are not the one being stabbed by Newzhi, so naturally you can add fuel to the fire if you want.

"Gu, my head hurts, Plotina, what did you do to me!?"

Lucius had just finished his last cup of black tea when he suddenly felt a splitting headache. He lost all his strength and collapsed into the chair, his whole body hot and his face flushed.

There is no doubt that this was definitely Plotina's doing.

"Well, the time is just right, it's time to send you on your way~"

"After all, this is my mission."

Plotina admired Lucius's painful expression, smiled and clapped her hands, and once again announced the execution of Lucius.

"...Why do you always do things so suddenly? Why don't you just discuss it properly and I'll cooperate with you?"

Even when death was imminent, Lucius still had time to complain.

"Because you're so shameless. If you were really asked to negotiate, you could come up with a hundred different requests."

"So shut up Lucius. I am the Queen. Thunder and rain are all graces of the Emperor. What's more, I have given you a small gift."

"I'll tell you one last piece of information. Please accept it with gratitude—"

"In my memory, Lucius was killed by me personally."

Lucius:? ? ?

Lucius' eyes widened, but before he could say anything, his consciousness was wiped out again.

After doing all this, Plotina calmly watched Lucius' body fall down, then slowly turned into a point of light and dissipated into the air.

She sighed softly and whispered to the air:

"You see, in this situation, even if I wanted to collect it, there's nothing I can do."

"He's still young, but he's growing day by day..."

[Under the Queen's arrangement, you completed an outstanding performance. As a reward, she chose to personally answer your questions.]

[That day you talked a lot, about the past and the future.]

[When you leave, will the rich queen feel lonely? ]

[——Simulation ends.]

21-Aviliya, you don’t want to…

[Simulation ends. 】

[Simulation Rating: C+. While the process was somewhat tortuous and the approach was somewhat difficult, I ultimately gained a lot of useful information and set a new record for survival time. Please keep up the good work.]

[Unlocked the achievement "Co-performer Guest", reward settlement completed——]

[Intermediate Upgrade Medicine*1, Random Gift Draw Times*1]

[Additional Reward: Passive Magic: Heart Wall (UR)]

[Wall of Heart (UR)]: The user is in a meditative state at all times, immune to interference from the spiritual realm up to the third level of their own, can be actively deployed externally, and can be upgraded.

"If you don't want others to see into your heart, then put up a thick wall to isolate yourself from the world."

The witch's voice echoed in Lucius' mind. There was no doubt that the wall of heart as an extra bonus was the "little gift" she mentioned when she left.

Meditation is an important subject in the practice of mages. Through meditation, mages can quickly restore magic power, refine the quality of magic power, and improve the accuracy of magic power control. An ordinary mage will spend one-third of his practice time in meditation.

The Wall of Heart not only saves Lucius from this tedious process and allows him to meditate, but also solves his urgent need for countermeasures against mental interference. It can be said that two wishes are fulfilled at once.

"I got such a big gift after just being tricked once. I feel a little embarrassed."

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for the gift of Empire Number One! Your Majesty is so generous!"

[Indeed, I suspect you sold her a hook, otherwise why would she be so nice to you?]

"Huh, really?"

"Don't doubt it, I really did sell her the hook."

Lucius raised his arm and watched the water droplets falling. The pool water was warm, and the iced grape juice in the cup was cool, sour and sweet. Compared to reality, only a moment passed, but Lucius was still a little dazed.

He was no fool. Combining Plotina's attitude towards him in the simulation with the recent information, it wasn't difficult to deduce a more likely answer:

"Glade Oldden from the Groove has really caused me a lot of trouble!"

"And your lung mist system, why didn't you warn me? It made me run around in circles. It's really an iron lung mist!"

After adjusting his mindset slightly, Lucius went straight into output mode.

In simulation, I am timid, but in reality I strike hard.

I suffered a lot of injustice in the simulation. If I still feel wronged when I return to reality, then wouldn’t my simulation be in vain?

And this time there is indeed a problem with the system. Everyone is very strong, but why did you let down your teammate? You are such a pig. Sometimes you can't do it without pressure.

[Lucius, fight!]

[As for Hell difficulty, you know, it offers no protection at all. It's good enough that it doesn't add any debuffs.]

"Think carefully. During the first simulation, you called out to me so many times, but I didn't respond. And the second time, you actually gave me a multiple-choice question. Isn't that obvious?"

[Lucius, you are the one who needs to reflect the most! ]

Lucius: ...

That makes some sense. Could it be that I am also to blame for this?

"I was not in good shape at the time and was dumbed down by Plotina."

He still had to be tough, but Lucius was much weaker in terms of momentum:

"Don't talk nonsense to Brother Lu. Recharge your energy quickly. I want to see how deep the water is in the Shadow of the Past during the next simulation."

[Hehe, can't wait? It seems you're already hooked on simulation and can't turn back.]
