Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough?

Chapter 6 The Sick Girl Will Seize Everything

boom--

Lilith's body fell into the dust of the dungeon, her shoulder slamming violently against the nearby wood, just like a corpse.

Lilith made a loud noise this time, so there was no way Rhodes wouldn't have noticed;

He frowned, already somewhat displeased, and turned to look at Lilith again. "Miss, you are..."

Before the words were finished...

Because he saw Lilith, unconscious in the dungeon, pressed against the dirty floor;

At this moment, Rhodes looked astonished.

"Huh?" Rod turned around. "Miss, hey, what's wrong?"

What's going on?

Rhodes returned to Lilith's side, knelt down, pinched her shoulder, and gently shook her cheek;

"Lilith...?"

So cold... Did Lilith really faint? What the heck?

He can guarantee that Lilith won't faint at this point, and that there's no one hiding to assassinate her!

This eerie sense of strangeness enveloped Rhodes, and he suddenly realized that something seemed amiss with this story.

The butterfly effect? ​​No... the butterfly effect shouldn't change something that can't be changed, so what's going on?

Rhodes immediately thought of something different from what had just happened: Lilith asking him for help.

Could it be that Lilith's "request" was related to her falling to the ground?

Could this story have taken a different turn because of this "request"?

Rhodes looked puzzled, but... he glanced at his pocket watch and saw that five minutes had passed.

In other words, Cecilia will be back in about ten minutes at most;

The unconscious Lilith is no match for Cecilia; in other words, leaving her here would be a death sentence.

Can--

In no mood.

I don't want to deal with this guy anymore.

Troublesome, arrogant, unable to explain things clearly...

"Tsk... It doesn't matter if Cecilia kills this guy anyway, since I don't need to help anyone ascend to godhood. What a troublesome fellow."

Rhodes looked at Lilith, who lay there like a corpse, and stood up again.

Yeah, so what if he's in a coma?

What happened?

"..."

"Tsk... At least we can't let her die and affect the aftermath."

……

...

Five minutes later—

Tap tap—tap tap—

The sound of high heels echoed into the dungeon, the damp environment still making it hard to breathe;

But at this moment, a graceful young girl entered the space that Rhodes and the others had just escaped.

She had long, silky gray-black hair that covered her curved waist, with a dark gold cross hairpin clipped to her right side. She wore a clean, bright white short dress that swayed slightly with her steps.

The lace leg rings inside the thighs, while controlling the black stockings, also subtly peek out at this moment;

Of course, Cecilia's most unique feature is not just her physical beauty, but also her alluring and beautiful eyes.

His left eye was a brilliant golden yellow, while his right eye was a blood-red hue.

She gazed at the desolate, deserted place, but showed no surprise.

"As expected, we still missed it. Let's clean up the mess and prepare to move out of the base."

She gave orders to the witches behind her.

"Yes."

The witches ranged in age from those in their early twenties to children who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old.

Even so, their actions were unified, and they all acted under Cecilia's orders.

Moving food, erasing traces...

Cecilia exhaled softly and walked towards Flandre's corpse.

She smoothed out her skirt, gracefully bent down, and reached out her fingertips to smooth out Flandre's ferocious eyes.

"Rest in peace," she said calmly to Flandre, then raised her head and looked at the cell where Rhodes was imprisoned.

In an instant, the calm on her face was shattered, an eerie flush appeared, her pink lips bled from being bitten lightly, and her pupils flashed with an unusual light—

"This time, I won't let you kill me again. Or rather, I won't let you refuse to kill me..."

Undeniably, Cecilia felt that everything about her was so dreamlike. She had simply died, and in the blink of an eye, she was back here.

Is there some special ability hidden within her, or is her past just a false dream?

Cecilia had no way of knowing, but who could imagine how intense the hatred, resentment, and desire to change everything would be if a dead person were to be resurrected?

She was once a symbol of being on the verge of becoming the world's strongest, about to complete her mission to change the survival status of the "Demon Seeds," but in the end, she died at the hands of the person she loved.

When she recalls the past, the repression in her heart makes her feel suffocated.

She will always remember the moment her eyes went blank and she felt Rhodes pierce her chest.

Accidentally revealing a weakness... How could she, who is the most meticulous and has been striving for her ideals for so long, possibly "accidentally" reveal her weaknesses?

"Last time I lost... I lost terribly." Cecilia's eyes darkened. "In the end, I was nothing."

"But why should she have you... Why am I still nothing in the end? Clearly, clearly..."

She became increasingly frantic, and her pupils began to tremble.

But in the end, her lips curved into a smile—

Yes, she could never hate Rhodes... because he was the reason she lived.

The one who was wrong was Lilith, the one who was wrong was that wicked god, and definitely not Rhodes;

"The saddest thing for me is that I don't want to imagine what it would be like for Lilith to be intimate with you after I die."

Cecilia felt very agitated when she thought about how Lilith and Rhodes were really together after she died, and that they might not only live a loving life but also have children.

However, the more frustrated she became, the clearer her goal became.

Kill Lilith, kill those meaningless things, or perhaps...

"If that's the case, you won't be willing to kill me, right?"

Cecilia gently stroked her slender waist, placing it against her stomach—

Perverted thoughts filled his mind, and his body trembled involuntarily.

However, in a sudden, inexplicable moment, she abruptly broke free from the heat.

The perceptive Cecilia noticed something amiss.

"There's a problem," Cecilia murmured.

She glanced at all the cages, all the openings, then turned to look at the corpse beneath her, and the iron bar left behind after she was killed…

A sudden surge of unpredictable emotions welled up within her, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Rhodes...no, how could that be...?"
