Chapter 84: The Legend of Rainbow Abyss
Even after meeting the King of Ruo Hui Gong, Lonis the Warrior had become accustomed to the actions of the men from Kolotia.
However, the beauty of Witch Ling Li at this moment still exceeded her expectations… Was this really a boy? Or perhaps a girl who claimed to be a boy?
(And, even her breasts had started to grow…)
Perhaps because Lonis’s gaze was too intense, Ling Li blushed and said sheepishly, “Um… Lonis the Warrior, I am truly grateful for the help you provided to our country. Truly, thank you very much…”
“Sister Ling Li, don’t be so timid.”
“Huh?”
“This Lonis the Warrior wants to snatch Princess Cécile right in front of you. You absolutely cannot lose to her!”
Candelle jumped up and said, fanning the flames.
At this moment, Lonis also felt a bit guilty… Although she hadn’t intended to take Princess Cécile into her harem, she had involuntarily had a slightly inappropriate thought just now.
What would Ling Li think of her? Would she blame her?
However…
Ling Li suddenly frowned and said, “Candelle, if you keep saying that, I’m going to get angry.”
“Eh?”
“Lonis the Warrior is the benefactor who saved our Kingdom of Ming. Moreover, Lonis the Warrior and Princess Cécile have a very close bond as companions, it’s not like what you’re saying.”
“Hmph, Sister Ling Li can just continue to be foolish.”
Candelle suddenly pointed at Lonis and said seriously, “Sister Ling Li, you probably haven’t noticed, but Lonis is completely different from ordinary girls.”
“What?”
“Ordinary girls, even when they see a beautiful girl, they just admire her. They don’t feel a burning desire like this… But Lonis does. I’ve only ever seen this kind of gaze in pets that have undergone gender reassignment before.”
“Whoa?”
Should I say, as expected of Queen Candelle of the Blood Race?
Even though she had surrendered, her observational skills were still sharp, hitting Lonis’s deepest secret… Although Lonis appeared as a girl and her demeanor was trained to be like a gentle girl, her boyish instincts could not be extinguished.
When she saw a cute girl, she would instinctively get excited. Her gaze, rather than focusing more on the girl’s face, would often drift towards the girl’s legs and other parts.
Lonis’s cheeks felt hot as this secret was exposed.
However…
“That’s enough, Candelle!”
Ling Li suddenly became very serious.
Although weak, she still held onto the arm of the wheelchair and said angrily, “It seems you have been in the Demon Race for too long. You need to systematically learn the rules of the human world?”
“W-what?”
“You are not allowed to insult Miss Lonis. She is the most sacred warrior of our country… Let alone if she isn’t a boy now, even if she were a boy, she would have every qualification to do such a thing!”
“Eh?”
“Get out of here. I won’t allow you to insult Lonis anymore.”
“If I have to leave, then I’ll leave. Woo woo, Sister Ling Li is bullying me! Woo woo woo!!!”
Being scolded so fiercely by Ling Li, Candelle also started crying and ran off directly… Looking at the figure of the red-haired little loli, Lonis felt a mix of emotions and didn’t know what to say.
“Um, Ling Li…”
“Miss Lonis, I’m truly sorry! My sister has offended you.”
Although sitting in a wheelchair, Ling Li still sincerely apologized to Lonis.
“No, it’s alright, because I…”
“No, you don’t need to say anything more. One’s inner gender and outer gender are not important things in the first place.”
“Eh?”
“At least for me, that’s how it is… I know that in this world, there are many girls’ souls that have entered boys’ bodies, and many boys’ souls that have entered girls’ bodies. Some people might care about this reality, but for me, it doesn’t matter at all?”
“Woo…”
“Brave Miss, please don’t feel embarrassed. Because in reality, I am even more embarrassed than you.”
…
As expected, Princess Cécile’s brother was no ordinary person either.
She wasn’t as weak as she appeared. Instead, she seemed like someone who knew many things but still wanted to play dumb and be gentle to everyone.
“Miss Ling Li, thank you… I only have a companion relationship with Princess Cécile.”
“Ah, ah, it’s really fine. My sister… never mind, let’s not talk about this. Warrior Lonis, actually, besides wanting to thank you for your efforts, I also want to tell you something very important.”
“Important matter…”
“Yes, you are going to the Mingjin Temple this time, right? But, Warrior Miss might not know… the power of Rainbow Abyss itself originates from the Demon Race.”
“What?!”
“In the previous epoch, when those monsters from the abyss invaded the world, people had no means of resistance. In the early stages, many humans were slaughtered by the monsters. The world’s population suddenly decreased by over 90%…”
Although she hadn’t experienced such a scene, Lonis could already imagine it by recalling the battle that occurred in Insoraia…
If it weren’t for the Magic Gemstone weapons, humans would have been no match for those Orcs. Not to mention the terrifying Yixiu Fragments, which almost pushed humanity to a desperate situation.
…
“Most people died, but it was precisely the dead who gave people hope for survival.”
“The dead… giving hope for survival?”
“Exactly, ‘Destruction and hope are inherently one, slaughter and salvation are indistinguishable.’ Most of the bodies mutated and resurrected like zombies from horror novels, continuing to slaughter their kin… However, there were also a very small number of existences that waged this war.”
“What?”
“In simple terms, their bodies had turned into monsters, but they still maintained human rationality. They researched technology originating from otherworld civilizations, and this caused our human civilization to ascend one tier.”
“!”
Lonis was stunned and retorted, “Then, does that mean they are the ancestors of the Kolotia family?”
“It’s possible to say that, but not entirely… Because relying solely on the technology of the Yixiu Demon Race, it would be impossible for us to completely defeat the Yixiu Demon Race. On this path, the Demon Race had already surpassed us by too much.”
“Then that’s…”
“Humans abandoned their dignity and sought the power of the divine.”
“?!”
“I don’t know how to explain it to you. If the Demon Race pursues physical evolution as ‘Demon’, then the divine pursues spiritual evolution as ‘Spirit’. However, the divine is not friendly towards us humans. They probably view us like ants.”
“…”
“The divine requires offerings, and to satisfy the divine’s demands, humans sacrificed a lot. Ultimately, humanity was pushed to a desperate situation, but at this moment… we discovered a brand new hope.”
“A brand new hope?”
“Yes, she stole the power of the divine and merged the powers of ‘Demon’ and ‘Spirit’… creating the unique existence of Rainbow Abyss.”
“!”
“To thank her for her contribution to human civilization, we respectfully called her the Sun Loli Goddess.”
