Chapter 63: Chapter 60: Lose Your Humanity, Lose Much. Lose Your Animal Nature, Lose Everything
A book flew to Lilith’s side, and the moment her fingertip touched it, lines of text appeared.
It read:
[The intertwining of love and desire is an unending topic; the war between the Love God and Slaanesh has never ceased since the birth of both deities.]
[With the help of other deities, Slaanesh successfully corrupted the realm of the Love God, turning beauty into ugliness and the powerful into puppets, nurturing a so-called "Dark Side of Love God" Evil God Seed from a desperate love.]
[A hundred years later, above the Empire of Locke, using the love and hatred of the imperial capital’s creatures as nourishment, the Dark Side of the Love God begins the Path to Divinity.]
[But Slaanesh agrees, the Fiery Sun does not allow it.]
[The once-great god of the Eternal Fierce Sun now only has ember without fire, but He still chooses to give the embers to His sincere believer, the noble Knight of the Fiery Sun.]
[The Knight of the Fiery Sun, deeply in love with the god, tearfully sent off his only faith. Divine Blood soaked the human world, and the Eternal Fierce Sun was no more. At the cost of the ancient great god’s sacrifice, the Knight of the Fiery Sun shattered the dream of godhood with one sword, causing the Dark Side of the Love God to fall to earth.]
The verses of the ancient myth were displayed before him.
The scene of gods battling each other played out in this supposedly small archive room.
In the next moment, he saw Lilith blowing a breath toward him.
A Spiritual Storm gathered over him.
He heard a strange sound echoing in his ear.
[You have activated the "Knight of the Fiery Sun" template.]
[Template synchronization rate: 1.3%]
[You have activated "Evil-Slaying Sword," "Hand of Judgment," "Fiery Sun Fire."]
[Evil-Slaying Sword: When your opponent’s faction is evil, you will deal double damage.]
[Hand of Judgment: The hands forged through thousands of trials allow you to easily pierce through evil forces.]
[Fiery Sun Fire: Your basic attack and skill attack will carry flame damage, and when the opponent’s faction is evil, flame damage is doubled.]
"Wow!"
Goodness, Fantasy Night is so advanced, you can play games in reality?
Seeing the sound appearing in his mind, he instantly understood how Fantasy Night works.
"What a fantasist, what a Fantasy Night."
He couldn’t help but praise.
He instantly understood how this system works.
Brief Review: The Otherworld version of a divine possession.
First, cultivate someone with the qualification for divine possession, namely the [Actor].
Then let the [Actor] continuously enhance the synchronization rate to a specific mythical template through the Fantasy Show.
The higher the synchronization rate, the more power can be drawn from the mythical characters.
Perhaps when the Extraordinary Sequence is high enough, and the template synchronization rate is also high enough, the Extraordinary may even reenact the myth in reality.
Fantasy Night is a supernatural ritual of "gaining mythical strength through performance."
As synchronization rate and strength increase, the [Actor] can gain more additional blessings.
In other words, if paired well with a high synchronization rate group, the Fantasist pathway can lead the entire group to rapidly escalate in power.
Such a magical and domineering pathway.
Lilith said coquettishly at the desk:
"Do you like this power?"
He complimented generously:
"It certainly is a magical power."
"The template of the Eternal Fierce Sun, among the ones I control, is one of the most useful. I see you are quite compatible with the Eternal Fierce Sun. Are you interested in becoming my protagonist?"
Chloe tilted his head: "Lilith, I remember we’re not that familiar, are we?"
Lilith stiffened in place, a hard-to-define emotion spreading out.
She showed off her lovely chin, speaking softly:
"Is it so terrible to be my protagonist?"
"Uh, of course not."
He glanced at the Beauty President.
In all honesty, this woman is indeed very beautiful.
"Do you like looking so much?"
She recalled the scene she saw in the corridor before.
Chloe looked at Fu Icarus with undisguised desire.
How vexing.
When I was a walnut, you never looked at me like that!
She felt a bit angry.
Pretending to be hot, she undid the top two buttons of her blouse and said sullenly:
"The archive room is really too hot."
Chloe said: "It’s okay, at least I’m not hot."
He felt a bit strange.
What is going on here?
Offering benefits voluntarily?
The Beauty President is that bold?
Lilith noticed his gaze, with emotions of shame, shyness, and joy playing out in her heart.
Pretending not to see Chloe’s gaze, she said nonchalantly:
"So, how does it feel to join the Association?"
Chloe honestly said:
"Very nice, all the seniors are pretty good to me, and the juniors are quite cute too."
Lilith fell into some silence.
She recalled the scene she saw earlier on stage with Chloe writing in Fratis’ palm.
Then also remembered his playful moments with Fufu in the hallway.
Finally, her memory lingered on that night at the Mayer Hotel.
What did she say back then?
"Ai’Er, what does it mean when a male student appears in the hotel with a girl at the Lantern Festival?"
"Probably did it."
"I figured so too. It seems both the boys and girls are members of my Association, looks like I’ve found a little secret, huh."
Back then, she was even laughing teasingly.
Laugh, laugh, laugh, what are you laughing at.
The more she thought, the angrier she got, and becoming more wronged, she couldn’t hold it back and nearly clenched her teeth as she said:
"Is it the kind of good where you’re on the bed with Fu Icarus?"
The topic was so intense that it made Chloe pause for a moment.
Alright.
When he said those words earlier, this thought did cross his mind.
But how did Lilith know?
Seeing Chloe defaulting, Lilith became anxious:
"So you really did it? Don’t tell me you stayed innocent even after doing it."
Innocent and had five children, is that it?
Bah!
Scumbag!
She was about to lose her temper, but the moment she saw that face, all her anger dissipated without a trace.
Idiot, idiot, idiot!
Can’t understand the meaning of dancing.
Still carrying another woman’s scent.
Just wanted you to spend more time with me, but you still can’t understand.
Now even building a nest together, you’re not doing it with me!
But so rude...
You are indeed ruder to me than before.
But that’s not what I want.
A mist formed over Lilith’s eyes.
"Speak."
She took off her tall boots, her foot in black stockings poised to kick him.
Chloe frowned.
For some reason, this scene felt somewhat familiar.
Oh, right.
A certain little crane liked to kick him like this when anxious.
Tsk.
Remembering something unpleasant, the little bit of romance in his heart disappeared.
What puzzled him was that he didn’t feel Lilith using any extraordinary power.
Which means she wasn’t trying to read his mind.
And Senior Sister Fufu was even less likely to spread such private things around.
So, was she near the hotel at that time?
Looking at her fiercely glaring at him, Chloe paused for a moment and said:
"What do you want me to say?"
"Had a lot of fun with Fufu, didn’t you? I introduced my club members to you, and this is how you treat me."
You never treated me like this!
Chloe said calmly:
"Men and women in love is quite normal. Senior Sister Fufu was proactive, and I didn’t reject it, no need to refuse."
"You admitted it." Lilith’s teeth were almost gritting, "So, you joined my association because of Fufu?"
"Not at all, just an invitation from someone else, plus a little curiosity about the association."
Chloe looked at her leg rubbing against his pants.
No, Beauty President, are you this dense?
Lilith gave a slight snort.
Doesn’t seem like he’s lying.
So their relationship sped up after joining the association?
How long has it been?
How did you manage that?
Just because Fufu is gentle and cute?
Her mouth was quicker than her brain, and she unknowingly said:
"It’s only been a few days, and you did it, just because she’s good-looking? But I’m more popular at school!"
Chloe felt a bit tormented from the rubbing.
Dense or not, being tormented is real too.
The fierce tone wasn’t scary at all, instead, it had a different flavor.
"Speak, am I not good-looking?"
"No, Senior Sister Lilith is still very charming."
"Is it because my figure isn’t good?"
"No, your figure is great, and your skin is very fair."
"What else?"
"Many members also respect you. When you were sick, Senior Sister Miseria and the others went mad with worry."
"Hm, who do you think I am? If you’re going to talk, then say more."
"Yes, yes, with a father so doting on you, you must live in a happy family."
Lilith’s nose twitched slightly.
Family.
Building a nest.
Children.
The mist in her eyes thickened, and a seed in her heart quickly began to sprout.
"Chloe, get a little closer to me."
Chloe silently wondered what Beauty President really wanted to do.
Yet his body honestly drifted towards her nearly perfect snowy self.
"You like it this much?" She actively approached him.
"Just so-so." Chloe retorted stiffly.
"Are you angry? Think I’m teasing you too much?" She glanced downward, stifling a laugh, "But it seems you don’t respect Senior Sister much either."
"It’s just human instinctive desire."
"Yeah, so you pervert, using it to bully Fufu?"
"Hiss~"
"Seems it’s not just Fufu, huh."
Originally, it was just grievance and discontent.
But now, Lilith couldn’t quite tell anymore.
It seemed she also wanted Chloe to be a bit rougher with her.
The next moment, she was pressed down on the table by him.
"Senior Sister Lilith, this kind of thing should be done with someone you like."
At these words, Lilith got annoyed.
What do you mean only with someone you like?
Did I ever say I dislike you?
She exerted a little force with her legs and said fiercely:
"You don’t like it? Not even a bit interested?"
Chloe remained silent.
Not having any interest was impossible.
But he always believed that humanity should suppress animal instincts.
"Is it because you like Fufu, so you don’t act, even though your body is honest, you clearly have thoughts too."
Chloe watched as she led his hand downward along her fair cheek.
He instinctively squeezed a little.
Looking at her again, he saw her slightly lowering her head, appearing shy, yet also as if she consented.
His mind went hot, his courage grew, and his breathing began to heat up.
At this moment.
He recalled what Vid said in "Three-Body":
"Lose humanity, lose much. Lose beastliness, lose all."
He unknowingly held her shoulder and experimentally leaned down to kiss her lips.
Just as soft as he imagined, like jelly, melting upon touch.
Unconsciously, his hand stroked her face.
She only paused for a moment, instinctively supported his chest but didn’t push him away.
Then her lips aligned again, then wrapped, entangled, wanting to claim everything of hers.
At that moment.
A thump was heard from outside the archive room.
