What did you do with the dice?

Sanita received a call for help from his brother and spoke up to help him out. "Don't worry, he's like that. How could he have any bad intentions? He couldn't even explain himself comforting his subordinates, so how could he possibly be mean to Phoenix?"

Hydra curled his lips.

Although Rusalka was very grateful to his brother for coming to his aid and saving him from a fatal situation, his brother directly killed him with the Kingdom Sandbox in the next step without giving him any face, which made him very depressed.

Sani Tower was also planning to close the market and clapped his hands: "Okay, then it's almost time, Miss Hydra, let's chat."

Rusalka echoed him, saying, "Remember the last time I was here, I learned from Phoenix the truth about Theresa being the Messenger of the Apocalypse. I hope this time, my sister-in-law can give us more clues about Theresa."

Hydra picked up the water cup beside her and took a sip. She didn't like sweet food, so she drank sugar-free hot milk. After putting down the cup, she licked her lips with her cat tongue, then picked up a handkerchief and wiped her pink little mouth.

Although she still had her eyes closed, the tilted position of her head and the twitching of her ears betrayed her curiosity: "Why do you care so much about her? Is there any grudge between you two?"

Sanita: "Because she is the Messenger of the End, she may be the key to our return."

Hydra was puzzled by Sanita's statement: "Go back? Go back where? You want to go back to Esdi?"

Hydra's ignorance surprised the two of them. It seemed that her version was still stuck in the folk version that believed Rusalka was the Paladin of Esdi.

Rusalka was very open about this and expressed her gratitude: (Huh? Didn't Phoenix tell her sister about this? She's really giving me the benefit of the doubt. I'm so touched. I'll give her a cat as a reward!)

Sanita: (Marry a dog, follow the dog.)

Rusalka: (Hey!)

Sanitta sleekly pulled out a piece of parchment and filled it with the magic limit he had returned when he gave up the contract with Phoenix. "What I'm going to say next is that you have to sign a contract."

After going through the classic process, Hydra, who seemed to understand, also signed, and then Sanita told her about herself and Rusalka.

Hydra was naturally shocked after hearing this, showing the expression and emotion of a cat: "What? So there are other worlds? Let me think, is it possible that the Earth you are talking about is actually just an undiscovered plane?"

Hydra's idea that "Earth is a plane of this world" made Rusalka think, "That seems possible," but Sanitita's words immediately pulled him back from his thoughts: "Impossible. Different planes use the same rules. The Shadow Plane, the Elemental Plane, and the Hell Plane all use magic, and the formulas are systematic. However, there is no magic on Earth."

Hydra seemed to be obsessed with turning Earth into a dimension of this world, and he refuted stubbornly, "Really? Could it be that before you came here, your physiques were like those of the orcs, without any magic circuits in your bodies, so you couldn't feel the existence of magic?"

Indeed, the difference between magic circuits and bloodline magic is almost equivalent to the difference between making a game and playing it. The former can change the game program by typing code and freely design the game in various ways.

The latter is just playing a finished game in a routine manner. Unless one has a very strong control and a certain understanding of magic, that is, the source code of the game, he can modify the parameters of the game itself - which is equivalent to designing a plug-in for the game.

Rusalka and Phoenix turned to look at the opposing debater, Sanitieta, again.

Sanita: "Do you really think that the 'science' and technology I'm talking about from Earth haven't developed enough to explore the basic elemental particles in the air? We've already explored so many elements in the periodic table. If there really were unidentified elements in Earth's air that could generate fire simply by accumulating, they would have been discovered long ago and used in science and technology."

Hydra's cat ears slammed down in disappointment, and he nodded and sighed, "Well, you're right. The magic of the Age of Gods was so powerful, yet they still haven't discovered that plane. This means it's probably a very remote place, and perhaps only a few people can reach it."

Hydra was convinced, but now it was Rusalka's turn to start doubting it: (Could it really exist, and just have a different name, and it's actually called uranium 235?)

Sunny Tower: (I think your brain cells have probably been mutated by the radiation. What kind of nuclear fireball is this? If it could really produce nuclear fusion and fission effects, the world would have been destroyed long ago. How could we still have such beautiful mountains and rivers?)

Unlike Rusalka, who listened closely with one ear and let half of what he heard go through the other, Sanitata's analysis of the details in other people's words reached a near-perfect level of understanding. Since everyone here had spoken frankly, he asked Hydra, "So, why do you wish Earth were a secondary plane?"

Hydra paused and said, "If that's the case, I can move everyone else to Earth before this world is destroyed. Although there will definitely be a lot of trouble later, at least we've found a place where we can survive."

Rusalka felt a strong sense of déjà vu. An idea suddenly struck her, and she immediately slammed the table, afraid her brother would beat her to the punch. "Hey, wait, wait, I know this episode! Let me see... Yeah! Fel energies destroyed Draenor, and to survive, Gul'dan opened the gates, and the greenskins invaded Azeroth! I'm so excited! What's going to happen next is magic versus science! If it's a dragon versus a group of fighter planes going into the air, I vote for the dragon."

Sanitta rolled his eyes at him and continued speaking to Hydra, who turned to ask Phoenix to translate because he didn't understand, "Ignore him. He sometimes talks nonsense. How can you be so sure that the world will end? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Hydra nodded and sighed helplessly. "The demon told me what I saw when I was given these eyes. That scene is the future of our world. I joined the Church of Light not only to inherit Roland's legacy, but also because I felt that if there was any god willing to save the world, or any force with the power to unite the world, it would probably be Light. Isn't Theresa thinking the same thing?"

Rusalka: "What exactly did you see? Can you describe it in words and pictures?"

Hydra rejected Rusalka's proposal. "No, it wasn't until I met you that I realized that if a prophecy remains unspoken, it won't necessarily come true. However, once I describe the scene I predicted in any form, it will definitely happen, or it has already happened. I still hope to avoid that outcome."

Rusalka was still itching to try. He was very brave. With his scientific mindset from a young age, he certainly didn't believe in such things. But Sanitta, on the other hand, had some faith in such things. He felt that this was not superstition, but a change that adapted to local conditions. So he asked his brother not to ask any more questions: (In a world with gods, it is better to believe in such illusory things than to believe in their non-existence.)

Sanitta noticed that Hydra mentioned Theresa: "Theresa also knows about the future you mentioned? She actually collects the faith of the twelve gods and also wants to prevent the destruction of the world?"

Sanitta doesn't think Theresa is such a good person, because there is a contradiction here. The God of Truth said at the time that once Theresa develops, that is, the goal of collecting the faith of the 12 gods is achieved, then the world will be destroyed.

"She firmly believes the world will be destroyed, and no matter how hard she tries, it's futile. So she wants to use the power of her faith to get herself out of here," Hydra said bluntly. "But I'm different. I want to save the world because I believe Roland would do the same if he were still alive. He once told us that everyone in this world has their own responsibilities and destiny.

So, since he saved me with his own life, and that demon chose to let me see the future, it means that saving this world is my responsibility and destiny."

Phoenix suddenly interrupted: "Then why don't you want me to help you?"

Hydera reached out and smoothed Phoenix's hair, smiling gently. "My lovely sister, that is my destiny, not yours. As for your responsibility, it is to live well and give birth to more offspring, so that I will have more motivation to keep the world alive."

Rusalka saw that Phoenix looked lost and knew that she felt powerless and lost because she was "looked down upon" by Hydra.

My cat is unhappy, what can I do?

Rusalka is quite protective of his team. When playing Werewolf, he is always the Iron-Headed Charging Wolf. Even if his teammates say that he is a prophet, he will stand up and say that the other party is just playing a role in reverse. How can a real wolf say that he is a wolf? Then, according to the anti-logic, doesn't this mean that he is an Iron Prophet?

So he immediately jumped up to speak up for Phoenix, knocking on the table and arguing with Hydra, "What do you mean, cat discrimination? Why can't Phoenix have the ideal of joining your great revival cause? I don't agree. You must also let Phoenix feel a sense of participation in saving the world! Phoenix, I support you in saving the world!"

Phoenix swung his tail at him, but his mood was visibly improved.

Hydra frowned. She was somewhat disgusted by Rusalka's habit of interrupting her seriously and emotionally with nonsense. She really didn't know what her sister liked about him. "Do you think I'm kidding? I should know. Since you are from another world and know something about this one, you are probably like Theresa, only knowing that there are six demon lords in Hell, but not believing in the existence of a demon king with divine power, right?"

Sanitta was a little skeptical about Hydra's words. If his memory was correct, he had indeed not seen even a brief introduction about the "Demon King", which sounded like the ultimate boss unit, in the rule book sent by the DM at that time.

I did see the Twelve Gods and the Six Lords of Hell, but I didn't look closely at that time to see which twelve gods and which six lords they were. I only learned this part of knowledge in the library after I traveled through time.

At this moment, Rusalka said, "No, sister-in-law, I have always believed you. After all, I have seen the final demon you mentioned."

In an instant, everyone else present fell silent, and Sanita and Hydra both turned their gazes to Rusalka.

Sanita showed a rare expression of surprise: (No, when did you see this thing? You never told me.)

Rusalka acted nonchalantly: (I saw him in the upgrade room when my warlock reached level 6 last time. He was my clan leader.)

It was the first time Sanitieta had heard that there was actually a being in this world that could enter the upgrade space. To him, this was almost a shocking blow: (Is this what you call keeping it a secret? Brother Xiao, I really have a new respect for you. Such an important thing, and you can actually keep it secret?)

Rusalka realized that she might have accidentally made a crucial mistake, swallowing intelligence, and replied with a guilty conscience: (It was mainly because he didn't leave a deep impression on me and just gave me a very useless thing, so I didn't think it was important and didn't mention it. Now that I remember it, I immediately handed it over to the organization. My problem, blame me, I was born.)

Sanitieta was truly impressed, but since Rusalka had apologized so sincerely, he decided to let it go. It wouldn't be nice to criticize him after the fact, but he had to say it now anyway; it would be the same sooner or later: (Never mind, it was also my fault for neglecting the clan leader trait for your Warlock's level 6 upgrade. I didn't think to ask you this question. I've been too busy lately, so I bear some responsibility for that.)

Rusalka: (Well, you are born.)

Sanita's blood pressure immediately jumped to attention: (Fuck it.)

Chapter 221 The Mystery of Theresa's Life

In addition to the new ability, Rusalka recounted the entire process of his meeting and communication with Alastor. He was not sure if there was anything he had missed, after all, the PL channel did not record their conversation, but he revealed some key content, such as the blessing, the demon lord, and the part where he asked himself to collect the faith of the twelve gods.

When Sanitta asked Rusalka for the third time, "Are you sure that's all?", and Rusalka replied, "Why don't you just put a light in front of me and shine it in my face, sir? I've really confessed everything," he nodded and concluded, "Based on what you just said, it's certain that Alastor is the Last Devil, and Theresa is his messenger."

Sanitieta did not doubt the identity of the demon. After all, a demon that could enter the system space must be considered a demigod, and the system had already authenticated the identity of this guy. He did not think there was any need for the other party to disguise his identity.

What is really worrying is that he didn't expect that he was actually the leader of Rusalka. His brother, the sorcerer, had really done something big - no wonder Rusalka's magic energy explosion was the power of evil energy, and it turned out that his leader also played with evil energy.

Rusalka took the opportunity to show off her knowledge. "Although I have some impression of this name on Earth, it seems to be the radio demon in 'Hell Inn', but there shouldn't be any cartoon characters traveling through time here, so the current one might just happen to have the same name. After all, he can freely change appearances and imitate personalities."

After saying this, Rusalka froze in place for several seconds as if under a spell of immobilization. Then, she tapped her palm and said, "Wait, he's my clan leader. Does this mean I've become the messenger of the end that everyone wants to see?"

Sanitta thought what Rusalka said was possible. "Given that the Apocalypse Demon wanted you to gather the power of the Twelve Gods, there's really no difference between what you're doing and what Theresa is doing. It's just a matter of means—Theresa robbed, you picked it up."

Rusalka quickly threw out a dirty joke in the private chat: (Then Theresa and I are a perfect match. Our actions together are like sodium hydroxide. I'm a chemist. This is rape...)

Sanita: (Hey! Can you make it a little cooler?)

Rusalka: (Yes, Rusalka's last name is also Ru, so according to unofficial historical records, Rusalka is actually the daughter of Rudolf. So with my inherited sense of humor, I can easily make jokes, for example...)

Sanita: (Hold it! I don’t want to hear it!)

But he seems to have told another one. It's really hard to guard against.

In reality, Rusalka spread her hands in disappointment and continued, following Sanita's words, "That's not right. I really don't want to destroy the world."

Sanitieta: "Do you think other believers believe it? The Twelve Gods control the mainstream information dissemination method in this world - the oracle. It's like they monopolized all mainstream media in the past life. What they say now is what matters. This is the charm of journalism."

Rusalka, feeling that she had been a good person after traveling through time, but inexplicably became an enemy of the world, cried out to the sky: "I hate journalism!"

Phoenix patted Rusalka's hand and said that she would always stand by Rusalka.

Rusalka was very excited and wanted to hold her hand tightly and say some cheesy words. Unexpectedly, before she could hold her hand, Phoenix, who didn't like having her hand controlled by others, pulled her hand away, causing Rusalka to choke on her emotions.

Sanita: "Then the whole world will line up to fight you, and if you win, you will level up."

After hearing this, Rusalka sat up straight, rapped the table, and said happily, "Good! Spread this out. Anyone who can criticize me to my face will be rewarded!"

Hydra coughed dryly and interrupted the two. "I'm sorry to interrupt your speculation. In fact, Theresa, the messenger of the End, is not a follower of the 'End' demon you mentioned. Perhaps it was the 'End' who gave me these eyes, but that doesn't mean Theresa has seen them."

The Messenger of the End is not a follower of the Demon King of the End. This is incomprehensible to anyone. Is it just a play on words? How could it be possible? Everything related to "God" in this world is very strict, and so are the names. No one would call the God of Light the Sun God, and no one would casually name a demon "End."

Even Sanita, whose intelligence had recently increased to 19 on the upgrade screen, couldn't understand this relationship for a while: "Then who gave her the identity of the Messenger of the End?"

"Who knows? Perhaps the Twelve Gods have their own hidden agenda." Hydra shook her head. "After all, Theresa's origins date back to the War of Gods, a time even earlier than the Demonic Scourge. That was a time when the Twelve Gods walked the mortal world, demonstrating their might, developing their faiths and respective factions. It was during that terrifying period of flourishing that Theresa became the first messenger of the 'Goddess of Pleasure.'"

Rusalka: “How long ago was that?”

Sanita: "Not long, only about five thousand years or so. That's when three generations of elves will have died of old age, and the dragon race will have changed by one or two generations."

Rusalka was stunned. What if they were acting out an alternate universe version of the past five thousand years? If Theresa were on Earth, and hadn't woken up to find herself transported to the world of the Hanma family, she'd probably be making a killing just sleeping in a museum and collecting admission. She'd truly be "making money while lying down."

Hydra: "She was born to be a body of pleasure."

Rusalka commented subconsciously, "It sounds quite bitter."

The three people present looked at Rusalka at the same time.

Rusalka's face was expressionless as she solemnly scolded, "What a lustful body! She's truly the enchantress of the Church of the Seven Sins!"

Before Hydra could speak, Sanitta spoke up, "The lust branch of the Church of the Seven Sins is different from the Goddess of Pleasure. The Goddess of Pleasure is a chaotic good faction, focusing on pleasures that can make people better, such as love, friendship, and family. Although this may be confusing in the eyes of the world, don't forget that the natural reproduction of life is also inseparable from acts of love. So, if you insist, she is more like a priesthood that maintains the balanced flow of life.

Lust is different. Lust isn't just about what you see as pornography; it involves violence, coercion, and persecution to satisfy one's own selfish desires, including the slave trade and forcing women into prostitution. The pursuit of something far transcends the purpose of reproduction, a pursuit that goes beyond pure sexual enjoyment and often harms others for personal gain. This is evil, and you can understand this as Kira Yoshikage."

Rushaka made an OK gesture, indicating that he understood. He was very grateful to his brother for using the long popular science segment to explain his previous slip of the tongue: (Thank you, godfather. There are too many people here. I will kowtow to you when I get back.)

Sani Tower: (Deep Well!)

Hydra: "She was born a war orphan, raised in a church within Esdi. This physical condition causes anyone who comes into contact with her to instinctively develop a liking for her, regardless of gender. As a result, she was very popular and had a very happy childhood. However, as she grew older, this physical condition grew stronger. Even after her coming-of-age ceremony, anyone who saw even a part of her 'body' would develop a liking for her, and if they touched her skin, they would fall in love with her directly."

Rusalka: (Oh my god, what's this "King of All Queens" physique? Did she have a party?)

Sanitta: (You are such a slaanesh. I told you that the love in the teachings of the Goddess of Pleasure does not necessarily mean applauding love.)

Rusalka: (Really? I don’t believe it.)

Sunita: (Okay, then she's having a party.)

Rusalka: (Wow, don’t do that. You must be talking nonsense. I don’t believe it!)

Sanitieta: (You are such a jerk. Don't worry, she is a great saint. The saints of the Light God should really remain virgins. Just look at Rewi Alley and you will know.)

Rusalka: "Then she must be very happy, with a bunch of lickspittles around her."

Hydra was stunned: "What does it mean to lick a dog?"

Sanita used a very professional and neutral term to explain it: "A pursuer who is willing to invest without expecting anything in return."

Rusalka adopted a mocking tone: "Those are turtles, regardless of gender, though there are more males."

Before Hydra could ask what "turtle" meant, Sanitieta said, "Almost the same thing, except that the level of investment in a "licker" is slightly lower, whereas the "turtle" Rusalka just mentioned is accompanied by a huge investment, whether it's financial or emotional, and requires absolutely no return, and often receives nothing in return."

Hydra was in disbelief. In this world of cannibalism, she couldn't imagine such a pure creature existing. "Blindly giving without expecting anything in return? Are there really people like that in the world?"

Rusalka glanced at Phoenix, who was also looking at her. She immediately patted her chest and said, "Yes, I am Phoenix's turtle."

Phoenix happily wrapped her tail around Rusalka's arm to show affection.

Judging from Hydra's expression, if she had her eyes open at this moment, she would definitely glare at Rusalka.

Sanitieta couldn't help but give Rusalka a thumbs up. He had always approved of Rusalka's shamelessness in front of acquaintances - this family would have fallen apart long ago without Phoenix and him, the two Cs. If the words were a little more intense, apart from fighting bosses, Rusalka was actually the one who was always spoiled by Phoenix.

"Let's get back to the point." Hydra brought the topic back to Theresa. "This condition troubled her for a long time, and was eventually discovered by the Church of the Goddess of Pleasure. They taught her how to harness the divine power within her. From then on, she became a divine messenger of the Church of the Goddess of Pleasure.

The War of the Gods ended, the gods retreated, and the eleven forces were consolidated (the real god mysteriously did not appear), and then the demon invasion war swept the world.

Theresa was one of the leaders of the resistance at the time. She led the followers and forces of the Church of Joy and successfully joined forces with the Church of Light to repel the demons. However, before the death of the Molten Lord, he opened a passage to the 'evil' plane within Esdi. Immediately afterwards, the evil spirits launched a massive attack on Esdi. The forces of the Goddess of Joy were located in the northeastern region of Esdi at the time, so they naturally participated in the defense.

In the war of demon invasion, the faith of Lady Shadow was completely destroyed. The elves of the God of Nature were driven into the forest and barely survived, and never recovered from the blow. The believers of the God of War were directly defeated. The power of the Goddess of Wealth on the mainland was almost completely destroyed, and the entire dragon army retreated to Dragon Island.

The beliefs of the Lord of Time, the Supreme Lord of Arcane, and the God of Law, since they were all humans and dwarves, gathered together for warmth when the species were close, and became the Snidi area. However, they later had conflicts and split up, resulting in the current situation.

In that battle, among the twelve divine forces, only the sea clan suffered the least damage - because it is difficult for demons to enter the sea.

However, there are no records about the Church of the Seven Sins in history, perhaps because they are recognized as an "evil force". But in fact, based on clues left in some early ancient manuscripts, Sanitieta speculated that the seal of the devil was done by the Church of the Seven Sins.

The Church of the Seven Sins has not always been in collusion with demons. At least during the demon invasion war, the forces of the Twelve Gods worked together. Therefore, the reason why their sphere of influence is in the Seven Sins Domain is most likely not because they were exiled there, but because in ancient times, the elite of the Church of the Seven Sins guarded the seal there.

But time is unforgiving, and the power of the devil is not only dangerous, but also a temptation. The sense of responsibility of the ancestors has disappeared after being passed down from generation to generation. In addition, Sinidi regards the Seven Sins Realm as a natural prison and exiles a large number of sinners to the Seven Sins Realm, resulting in an increase in the number of bad people. Finally, the Church of the Seven Sins became involved with the devil and became the cult that everyone hates today.

But history is always written by the victors. Even if the evidence is overwhelming, what's the point in reversing the verdict on the Seven Sins Church now? After all, it really is a cult now.

Sanitta nodded and said, "Later history also recorded that the followers of the God of War and the dragons of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth joined forces to backstab the followers of the Goddess of Pleasure. They failed to send reinforcements on time and even cut off their supply and retreat lines, leading to the entire territory of the Church of Pleasure falling.
