Chapter 20: The Loli Goddess Alice
And so, after gathering all our companions and informing everyone about what had happened here, tonight’s little haunted house adventure officially came to an end.
Almost every girl had a great time, even though Su Ling and Cécile were tied up—they actually had fun too.
Because that feeling of being captured by strangers, isn’t it really thrilling?
As long as no accidents occurred in the end, and no one got hurt, then all actions were within an acceptable range.
……
“Hmm, the matter is finally resolved, right? Rianxi, Lonis and I don’t mind, but next, you must apologize to Princess Cécile and Su Ling, whom you’ve hurt… Everyone here is a brave warrior, definitely not some coward immersed in lust.”
“I, I understand…”
“Ah, it’s fine. I’m actually okay with it, because I had anticipated something like this before… Mm… Mm!”
“Su Ling is fine too~~”
……
And what about Siria, the mastermind behind all this?
She also received the lesson she deserved. The little loli was teased so much by everyone that she was panting heavily, and in the end, her clothes were completely soaked!
Seeing such a scene, Rianxi was completely dumbfounded.
Because…
Although Elus and Lonis’s actions could be seen as being deceived by the Trickster Demon and Castor, giving up revenge and compromising with the enemy.
But from another perspective, it could also be said that they “converted” the Trickster Demon and Castor, making the demon race atone for their crimes by contributing to saving the world.
One event can be explained from both positive and negative sides—so in life, don’t take many things too seriously. Don’t be too hard on yourself, because that way, you might miss out on a lot of the beauty that you should have gained.
And as the Sun Goddess Alice sacrificed herself, Elus took the opportunity to ask her:
“Alice, I want to ask you something.”
“Mm, Elus, what do you want to ask?”
“What exactly is your relationship with the Trickster Demon Siria… Even though I feel like Siria seems to have a lot of bad ideas, her essence doesn’t seem to be entirely evil.”
“Ah, you’ve noticed, huh? Actually, if you follow traditional beliefs, Siria and I merging would truly make the Sun Loli Goddess. Back then, in order to create Siria, I separated about 35% of my consciousness and divine essence from my body.”
“!”
“Because I was originally just a mortal too. And as a mortal, there will be selfish desires, some bad jealousy or other messy things… These are quite troublesome, but it’s surprisingly magical: after separating, the two incomplete parts actually became more like the gods in people’s traditional beliefs.”
“Is… that so?”
“Yes, redemption and destruction are one and the same, that’s probably the gist of it. This is a famous saying passed down through generations in the Kolotia royal family. Actually, it’s not just me; most humans have both good and evil hearts. To develop into a sound person, it’s not about promoting goodness while completely denying negative aspects, but allowing those inherently negative emotions to have a reasonable way of existence.”
“I understand now, so that’s why there are so many gray industrial chains in the underground streets of Ming Kingdom?”
“Mm, extreme circumstances lead to counteractions. At least in my view, when a society comes close to a perfect utopia, it also infinitely approaches a hell barren of all life. For humans, what they need is not the command of gods, but tolerance, and the possibility of correcting mistakes after straying—because as a whole, making mistakes isn’t scary; what’s scary is an unchanging society.”
“Truly the insight of the Sun Loli Goddess Alice, I’ve really learned a lot.”
……
Elus and Alice were discussing, and Lonis was also listening nearby.
However, she couldn’t understand most of what the two were saying!
But that didn’t prevent Lonis from happily wagging her tail on the side… Perhaps because Lonis looked so silly, Elus directly came over and grabbed her arm.
……
“Waah, what are you doing, Elus?”
“Playing with a little fox is playing with a little fox, do you need a reason?”
“Waah?”
……
But even as she said this, Elus hugged Lonis and asked Alice:
“Your Highness Sun Loli Goddess, I’d like to ask you one more thing about Lonis… In my battle with Lonis, there was actually an indescribable connection, similar to the Rainbow Abyss but also different. Even though I’ve been able to use it, I’ve never truly understood the essence of this power.”
“Mm…”
“For example, now, activate.”
……
After saying that, Elus pressed some switch!
And what about Lonis? She was startled too!
She wanted to jump away, but how could the black-hearted princess allow her little pet to escape? So Elus directly held Lonis in her arms.
“Woo woo woo…”
Even though her level isn’t very high now, doing such a thing in front of Alice still made Lonis’s cheeks flush red.
She only felt magic power gathering on her body, then continuously transferring to Elus. Poor Lonis didn’t even dare to lift her head, only blushing as she lay on Elus, begging her to go a little easier.
……
Seeing this scene, Alice’s cheeks also turned slightly red.
But she didn’t avoid it; instead, she explained: “Mm… Actually, this kind of power is quite complex, but it can also be explained as ‘sexy’ being a very advanced energy. Even four-dimensional space fears it.”
“Advanced energy…”
“Yes, Elus, there isn’t a creator god in this world, only deities like me who formed later. Therefore, whether human or material, everything evolved through postnatal evolution. So, have you ever wondered why humans need ‘entertainment’?”
“Eh?!”
The Sun Loli Goddess’s words left both stunned.
“Because if it were only about pursuing efficiency, humans shouldn’t engage in entertainment, relaxation, or play during the course of evolution. Such things waste time and physical strength and don’t aid in reproduction… In fact, most animals don’t engage in ‘sexy’ behaviors—they do it solely for mating. Only humans, dolphins, and some mature mammals engage in sexy behaviors for fun, doing things that seem incomprehensible in nature.”
“!”
“I was also very puzzled by this at first… But then I understood, it’s actually a gift, a kind of ability and freedom bestowed upon oneself by life itself. Simply put, it’s a manifestation of independent will.”
“Independent will…”
“That’s right, life’s instinct drives us to reproduce, but our existence allows us to surpass basic reproduction, developing more pursuits for the self—it makes individuals more than just simple tools, but independent entities. Moreover, sexy doesn’t just make one person happy; most of the time, seeing others in bliss brings joy too, so it holds a universal value. Simply put, sexy isn’t something embarrassing.”
“Is that really so?”
“Mm-hmm, that’s just my understanding. Though it’s powerful, sexy isn’t the entirety of human significance either? Thus, without collecting all seven Rainbow Abysses, one won’t attain true power.”
“I see, now I’ve fully understood.”
Elus took a deep breath, and in her mind, a fresh new idea seemed to emerge~
