Chapter 88 Epilogue
At the moment the petite Loli came into sight, all the girls were utterly stunned.
Everyone stood frozen in place, their eyes filled with shock—it was as if the world’s end was brimming with absurdity and eeriness, so fragmented and broken.
……
This wasn’t just because the black-haired little Loli was extremely bewitching, and the entire space seemed to be influenced by her, turning into an indescribable void.
It was also because everyone had seen this little Loli before.
No, not just the girls.
Everyone in the Kingdom of Ming, C. Academy, and the Dulan Islands had seen her.
Because……
……
“Th-this is the Sun Loli Goddess… Alice?”
“Of course, you could say that, but… I’m not just the Sun Loli Goddess Alice, I’m also the Trickster Demon! The one who commanded Castor to steal the power of the Rainbow Abyss, including the conquest of the Snow Kingdom and the destruction of the Vast Sea—it was all me!”
……
Hearing her admit to these deeds personally, the girls were even more dumbfounded.
Even Elus was overwhelmed by this sudden turn of events. She clenched her fists and shouted sharply, “How is this possible? What kind of joke are you playing!”
“No, Your Highness the Trickster Demon is not joking.”
Meanwhile, Castor gradually stood up.
His face regained that manic yet calm smile, but his low voice made it sound as if he was talking about something trivial:
“The truth of the world is just like this—destruction and salvation are one and the same. The Sun Loli Goddess Alice you trust and the Trickster Demon share the same origin. So, even knowing this… do you dare to raise your weapons and defy the god you believe in?”
“!”
The girls were all stunned.
Because in everyone’s memories, the Sun Loli Goddess Alice had always been a friendly presence. How could she have done so many excessive things?
Whether it was the Snow Kingdom, the Kingdom of Ming, or the Vast Sea, too many people had died because of her.
So, Cécile, Lian Lan, Isumi, and Zhisheng Luo… their expressions looked as if they’d swallowed a mouthful of bile, and even the courage to continue fighting was gone.
And Elus?
She clenched her fists even tighter.
Because…
if the Sun Loli Goddess and the Trickster Demon were the same person…
Then, didn’t that mean she and her comrades had been deceived from the very beginning while gathering the Rainbow Abyss?
How could this be!!!!!
Her heart’s indignation made Elus grit her teeth as she rushed forward recklessly!
However…
……
“Stop struggling, because you… are no match for me.”
“Ah!”
……
Before Elus could reach her, her figure was completely frozen in place.
This wasn’t magic, but a fundamental law of restraint—which meant that even with Elus’s strength, she was no match for the Trickster Demon.
……
“Elus!!!”
Lonis shouted, but in her heart?
She was equally bewildered!
Because if everything before her eyes was true, then didn’t that mean she and her comrades were like clowns?
They had put so much effort into gathering the power of the Rainbow Abyss, only to be betrayed and bullied by Alice in the end!
This kind of thing…
……
A sense of anger welled up in Lonis’s heart, and at that moment, black radiance began to shimmer around her.
The pain of betrayal made Lonis seem ready to charge forward recklessly, determined to defeat the enemy!
However, at that moment…
“Enough! Siria… I released you, not to let you do such things.”
……
With a ripple of vibration, the atmosphere in the entire space suddenly calmed.
The girls didn’t know what had happened, but soon, a golden radiance appeared in the air.
……
And then, walking out…
Was a little Loli with golden hair.
Her eyes were serious, and her cuteness and aura were no less than her counterpart’s. Golden light enveloped her body, shining so brightly that she looked like a glorious cream cake!
And the name of this little Loli…
……
“Al-Alice?”
“This is the real Alice!”
……
Seeing the figure of this golden-haired little Loli, the girls were once again taken aback in shock.
Su Ling even gathered her courage to say:
“Yes, this is the Alice I remember—but what’s the deal with that Trickster Demon? Why are there two Alices?”
……
Su Ling’s question was also on Lonis’s mind.
And what of Alice?
She sighed and said to everyone:
“I’m sorry, everyone, this matter is a long story… but you’ve undoubtedly succeeded, you are true heroes. So, on behalf of the Sun Loli Goddess Alice, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to you.”
Golden radiance shimmered, and the shadow that had been binding Elus vanished.
Although this gave the girls some relief, Elus still raised her head, her expression stern as she asked:
“Your Highness Alice! Please explain this: as your descendants, the Snow Kingdom has always believed in your light… so why did you raise your blade against our nation?”
“……”
“Don’t try to cover it up with some false excuses. Because I can already see, that Trickster Demon is you too, isn’t she? You know everything, don’t you?”
Elus’s gaze was fiery, as if she wouldn’t mind fighting both Alices to the death right then.
After all, once upon a time, this girl had devoutly served the Fiery Abyss. And after becoming a hero’s partner, she and Lonis had become the openers of the Fiery Abyss together.
But…
“Hmm, let me explain.”
The black-haired Alice stepped forward and said:
“Elus, I’ve always been watching you, and you could say I’ve been tormenting you… all for the purpose of giving you enough strength to challenge me alongside your hero.”
“What?!”
“You scoundrel, don’t hurt my wife!”
Seeing how the black-haired Siria dared to speak insolently to her wife, Lonis immediately stood in front of Elus and demanded:
“Trickster Demon, don’t boast about your tricks… because we will never forgive you, no matter what happens, I will fight to the end alongside Elus!”
And as for staring down at Lonis who glared at her?
Siria nodded slightly and said:
“Very well, very well… although things did not develop as I expected, you truly did defeat Castor who had received my power. So, you’ve earned the right to know the truth.”
“The truth… what nonsense are you spouting?”
“Haha, seeing you so confused is really amusing~~ But you humans, listen up.”
The black-haired Siria gazed at everyone there—not only the heroes of the Rainbow Abyss and the robot warriors but also all the living beings of the world who were fighting for survival with all their might.
Then, she said slowly:
“Are you all really deluding yourselves into thinking that over a millennium ago, our human civilization survived the battlefields between Yixiu and the Supreme One civilizations?”
“!”
“The incursions of two mighty civilizations and we human civilization, merely a fallen leaf, perished with ease.”
