Chapter 217: My Witch Miss Is Mentally Unstable

Early morning,

Li Er walked out of Big Boss's tent, head bowed, his body trembling continuously.

On the road he met several Demon Race Squad Leaders who greeted him.

Li Er didn't even lift his head.

Until he returned to his own tent,

confirming no one was around,

did he throw back his head and laugh loudly!!!

"Hahahaha, so refreshing, really too refreshing!"

"The most correct decision of my life was to become a disciple of this Fury God General!"

"Now not only do I have strength and status, I even have a wife!"

Although Li Er's conditions weren't bad, if he really wanted to find a girlfriend he still could.

But the problem was, after he joined the Genius Club.

All the spotlight was attracted by Kadan, the club leader.

The girls of Full Moon Academy only knew Kadan, not Li Er.

"Kadan, Kadan, you never dreamed I, Li Er, would have this day." Li Er sneered: "Big breasts, big hips, six-pack abs, super long beautiful legs, how many women like this are there in the world?"

"Not to mention, this woman is supposedly a big shot in the Abyss, and being with her, I, Li Er, have truly turned from a wild chicken into a Phoenix hahaha!!!"

"Of course, I also know that the Fury God General letting me be with this woman definitely isn't a simple reward; either it's out of political considerations, or he needs me to be his inside man."

"But so what? As long as I seize the opportunity, this might not be my chance!"

"I will be this Demon Race Xubing! I want power! I want to achieve Transcendence! I want to climb up step by step, I want to be Li Gao!!!"

"Hahahaha!!!"

Li Er laughed wildly, took out a diary, and frantically recorded on it:

"You are a Demon Race Xubing, you are a Demon Race Xubing, you are a Demon Race Xubing……"

If before, becoming Big Boss's disciple only made Li Er waver and think of betraying humanity,

then this time, his wavering had already become determination.

This betrayal of humanity, I must do it!

"Kadan, Big Boss, hahaha, you two wait, after I leave the Secret Realm, I'll be an Eighth Rank Demon Race Xubing, and have the Fury God General as a big backer."

"By then, I'll be Ten Thousand Above, and all of you who once stepped on my head, whether in the Trial or outside, I won't let any of you go."

"I'll kill you all, kill you all, hahahahaha!!!"

"But this identity of mine…… both a Demon Race Xubing and a subordinate of a big shot…… am I holding the Main Character script? Hehe, possible, very possible."

Li Er smiled proudly, took out the Invitation Letter Big Boss gave him, and excitedly hugged it to his chest.

On the other side, Big Boss sneezed several times in a row.

"Who's missing me? Making me sneeze so much."

"Defying Heaven, bro, you're really defying heaven." Lilith poked her cat head out of his crotch: "Although I've said it many times, I still can't help but say, you TM are really six-flipped."

"How did you come up with the operation of attaching the Furious Father God's head to his belly and arranging a door marriage for him? Is your brain a human brain?"

"Low profile low profile, basic operation don't six, wait……" Big Boss waved his hand and furrowed his brow: "Hey, stupid cat, who let you out, is today's Cultivation done?"

"Uh……" Lilith's pupil trembled.

She was originally Cultivating, but the plot outside was too exciting, she couldn't resist and ran out to peek.

"How can you be so lazy." Big Boss was dissatisfied with his hands behind his back: "You don't Cultivate hard, how will you turn back into Human Form in the future? Do you want all the future Game Process to be done in a cat's posture?"

"Don't you want your KPI? Don't you want your Bonus? Don't you want your Promotion and Salary Increase?"

"If you don't Cultivate hard, all these are gone~"

"I……" Lilith listened to Big Boss's words, her cat face turned pale, swallowed, and immediately burrowed into his crotch: "I, I know, I will work hard!"

"Hmph, that's more like it."

Seeing Lilith burrow into the King's Treasury, Big Boss revealed an Entrepreneur's smile.

"If you don't work hard, how can I gain new Abstract Ability?"

"Sigh, being an Entrepreneur is really lonely, too lonely."

"You don't know, to improve Strength without Cultivating, how much I, Big Boss, have paid!"

After moaning without illness for a while, he sat cross-legged and examined his recent Harvest.

Today there were still many things; besides trying to use Regina's Mark/Insignia to communicate with her sister Lei Ha Na, he also had to help the Furious Father God with Makeup and prepare his date with Li Er tomorrow morning.

Burdened with many matters, the time he could inspect his Harvest was just this little bit.

First, after last night's efforts, his Pain Level upgraded again, from Seventh Rank to Eighth Rank.

Unbelievably, when entering this Secret Realm, his Divine Chosen Level was only Fifth Rank.

One Trial increased three stages, and could even continue to improve.

If he could perform more Whip Surgeries on the Furious Father God, his Divine Chosen Level would probably fly straight to Level 10!

Big Boss really felt that coming to the Abyss was as refreshing as going home.

New Pain Ability acquisition requires after Tenth Rank.

Upgrading to Eighth Rank only amplified the original Ability.

First was Great Love Little Angel's Pain Multiplier Control, increasing from a maximum of 50 times to 70 times, a considerable improvement.

But besides this, there was another effect that surprised Big Boss.

Pain Zero.

As the name suggests, this effect shields the target's Perception, making them unable to feel pain.

This is a very useful effect; if used on oneself, it would turn one into a berserker without pain perception.

And if used on an enemy... wouldn't that become a painless harm-doer, oh no, a painless sneak attack?

"To actually give me an ability for harming people, this Great Love Little Angel, this is improper. I, Li Cheng, am I that kind of born thing?"

Effect 2 has no change whatsoever, still drawing out others' negative emotions and converting them into pain.

Effect 3 · Exclusive Ability · Universal Salvation, has also made quite a bit of progress —

【You can purify pain by absorbing pain.】

【When the pain a target suffers reaches the limit of their endurance, you can choose to directly blow up their head, forming an instant kill, and absorb their accumulated pain, temporarily gaining an attribute boost; this boost has no upper limit, duration depends on the absorbed pain energy.】

【Attribute boosts can be stored, but loss occurs during the storage process.】

【This ability is subject to resistance — targets with strength or soul strength above yours may resist this ability; the stronger the target's strength, the higher their soul strength, the higher the resistance success rate.】

【This ability possesses concealment; the release source of the ability cannot be detected (New)】

The evolved Effect 3, on top of the original defying-heaven effect, also added the effect of making it imperceptible who did it.

It belongs to letting harming people be exerted to the utmost.

"How do I feel my abilities are getting more and more underhanded, is it an illusion?" Li Cheng scratched his head.

Just then, the sound of knocking came from outside the tent.

"Master, may I come in?"

"Come in."

Li Cheng knew it was his female knight returning from patrol.

Sure enough, Miss Regina, wearing a full suit of armor, lifted the tent flap and walked in.

Seeing Li Cheng, this female knight's expressionless little face immediately flushed red.

"What's wrong?" Li Cheng walked behind her, thoughtfully slipping his hand through the gaps in her armor, feeling her broad chest.

The black slime shifted shapes in his palm.

"Mm... Mas, Master, it's still daytime." Regina mumbled, pushing at Li Cheng's hand.

The two had clearly already been through the finalizing-the-relationship stage, yet the female knight was still unavoidably bashful.

Completely different from her usual carefree, heroic bearing.

"Mm, daytime, then like this." Li Cheng gave a crooked evil smile, lightly snapped his fingers, released a Night Curtain Magic, and the entire tent darkened.

"Ugh, Master, you, you're so bad..." Regina knew she couldn't escape the demonic claws, her eyes dodged twice, and she consciously turned around and knelt down, tying up her hair.

"What are you doing?" Li Cheng was doubtful.

"Ju, just helping you, Master... make saliva chicken." Regina used her fingers to pull at her mouth corners and eye corners, forcing out an ugly flattering smile.

"Make what, today I'm going to inspect your body, see if we can contact your sister." Li Cheng frowned, greatly shocked: "No way, no way, Miss Regina, your thoughts, how could they be so impure?"

"Ah?" Regina blanked for a moment, then her whole face turned red like a beaten buttock.

She directly sweated profusely, rendered speechless.

Hateful, hateful, Regina, how did you become so vulgar?

Master touches you twice and you want to eat big meat (), are you crazy?

You're a princess, you're a princess!

"Alright, stop kneeling, hurry up and lie down, we're starting."

"Ah? St, start what?" Regina covered her chest like a frightened fawn.

"Start contacting your sister..." Li Cheng was speechless.

"Oh, oh..." Regina, face red to her ears, removed her armor, wearing a black bodysuit, lay down on the bed.

Then silently recited "Bonds untie".

The black bodysuit vanished, revealing the plump, juicy beauty meat inside.

Ever since wearing this Ominous Blade's battle robe, Regina stopped wearing underwear.

This battle robe can completely conform to her body, even providing a gathering and lifting effect, far more useful than underwear.

Once again naked before Li Cheng, the female knight bashfully turned her head away.

Li Cheng looked at this woman of extreme contrast, couldn't help but curve his mouth corners.

Clearly possessing such a vulgar body, yet being such an easily embarrassed woman.

So delicious, pity he still has no way to eat her into his stomach.

Yes, the protection on Regina not only prevents Li Cheng from completing the contract with her, but also stops that most critical step from advancing.

Once he wants to eat, that protection will push Li Cheng away, and condense into blade-like power on Regina's body.

As if specifically guarding against Li Cheng, not letting him make a move.

This made Li Cheng furious to the extreme.

If not for this being a first playthrough, and he still wanted to see the later plot.

He would have directly forcibly shattered this protection, letting that Lei Ha Na know the price of provoking him.

But now, for Lei Ha Na's fate line to continue progressing, for the elf sisters to both be bagged, he still has to endure for a while.

Lightly placing his finger on the insignia of the southern hemisphere, Li Cheng once again injected magic power into it. And Regina's body also began to heat up non-stop, her legs lightly curling up.

She red-faced, pulled the blanket over her head.

And Li Cheng, also once again entered into the space inside that insignia.

This is not his first time entering the insignia.

These past days, he would set aside a bit of time each day, wanting to communicate with the Lei Ha Na inside the insignia.

But his magic power could only reach the shallow layer.

But his Spiritual Power could only Arrive at the Shallow Layer.

Although he could see his twin sister, he could not wake her up.

This time, he decided to enter a deeper region.

Continuously injecting spiritual power into it.

As playtime increased, Li Cheng's control over spiritual power also became more refined.

Plus, with the Regeneration Power Manual obtained from the Half-Demon Race, his use of Regeneration Power also grew increasingly proficient.

Investing another portion of his remaining Regeneration Power into it.

Li Cheng bit by bit deep-dived into the depths of that protection power.

Black viscous substance entwined around his body, making him feel a creeping fear and dread.

That dread was eroding his rationality.

Fortunately, Regeneration Power appeared in time, manufacturing a faint glow in the darkness.

And Li Cheng, following that glow, saw that girl, curled up, almost identical to Regina.

The girl closed her eyes, side-lying on the black throne.

Strange to say, that throne did not look like a throne at all, merely a vessel like a fountain, flowing with black sludge.

But in Li Cheng's mind, he still naturally regarded it as a throne.

The girl's body was wrapped in a pitch-black long robe, on which gold thread embroidered a heap of weird, bizarre patterns.

Just one look, and San Value plummeted.

And the girl's hair had grown even longer than her body, covering her soft, fair feet.

"Lei Ha Na, Lei Ha Na."

Li Cheng softly called the girl's name.

But Li Cheng's voice seemed to be blocked by some power, unable to reach her no matter what.

The girl still hugged her knees, side-lying on the throne, curled up together.

"Damn it, you sleep too damn dead..."

"Hehe, isn't it normal for her to sleep dead? After all, a living dead person is her fate."

Just then, a voice suddenly exploded beside Li Cheng's ear.

Li Cheng hurriedly turned around, only to see a woman in a black robe, wearing a hood, appearing out of thin air right here.

The moment he saw her, Li Cheng was deeply attracted by her hands.

Because this person's hands — there were four of them.

Looking further up, he saw the eyes within the hood, one of which was stitched shut with thread.

Relying on rich clearance experience, Li Cheng instantly realized who the woman before him was.

"Miss Death Witch, I did not expect you to appear here."

"Hehe, recognized me at a glance, worthy of you, Li Cheng." The Death Witch laughed lightly: "However, there are only the two of us here, I still hope you call me by my true name, Death God Diabolos."

Li Cheng:??? Although he clearly knew the Death Witch's setting in the game is chuunibyou plus delusional disorder, a neurotic among neurotics.

But facing her directly, Li Cheng still could not keep a straight face.

And the Death Witch gave him no chance to breathe, continuing to ask:

"How much of your original memories do you have left?"

Li Cheng: "..."

"Alright, there are only the two of us here, you don't need to perform, feel free to speak boldly."

Li Cheng silently looked back at Lei Ha Na: "..."

"Oh, you mean her, don't worry, the Eternal Sleep Witch doesn't count as a person, you don't need to mind her."

Li Cheng: "..."

You just excluded her from human status like that? And, Eternal Sleep Witch? Li Cheng's eyes shifted slightly; the Eternal Sleep Witch is the only witch who never appeared in the PC version.

Even her standing illustration is pitch black, called by players "Quantum Technology's cost control technique".

Her background story is less than a hundred words total.

The gist is just that the Eternal Sleep Witch seals a door.

That door connects to another Outer God World coveting the Tianming Continent.

When she dies, that door will close forever.

Wait, Outer Gods...

Seal...

Li Cheng's eyes trembled, feeling it all matched up.

"Hehe, indeed, you figured it out at once, God Lord." The Death Witch laughed lightly: "Correct, this elf girl seals those Outer Gods who want to crawl out from the world's deepest layer."

"She is an innate vessel, the door's entrance, so those evil gods would try every means to tempt her, to make her embrace them."

"Once she embraces them, the door will open, and those evil gods will pour into this world."

"That evil god representing fear did so for this purpose, using the Dark Bible to tempt the Elf Race's king, forcing him to conduct this experiment."

"Pity is, He did not expect this girl's heart to be far harder than imagined; even eternal slumber, she would not embrace that power."

"This world's will perceived her determination, so it bestowed upon her the identity of this generation's Eternal Sleep Witch."

The Death Witch spoke in a storytelling manner; Li Cheng's gaze at her grew increasingly strange.

What's going on?

How is this person speaking so seriously, so logically?

Logic extremely rigorous, flawless.

But, isn't her persona a neurotic? Can a neurotic's words be true? Li Cheng was a bit uncertain.

Just then, the Death Witch spoke again: "Li Cheng, or rather Unknown, I've been observing you for a long time, and I'm certain that you, like me, are the reincarnation of an Outer God from a higher dimension than this world."

"Then, let us formally introduce ourselves. I am the deity presiding over death, Diabolos. My identity in this world is the Death Witch, Lani."

"And you?"

"What is your identity?"

"..." Li Cheng struggled to suppress his twitching mouth corner and replied tentatively: "Uh... I am the God of Fate who presides over the balance of Heavenly Principles, Nyarathotep."

He modified the Fun God's name and casually fabricated a deity.

Lani's gaze froze, then immediately turned toward a vast, boundless darkness: "I see, I see. No wonder you can see through this world's truth and find a method to escape it. So you are that Adult..."

"Indeed, in terms of divinity alone, you stand even above us Four Pillars Positive Gods of Life, Death, Time, and Space."

"Today's reunion reminds me of the events of that year."

"Back then, you told me on the Heavenly Principle Platform — if I wish to save all beings and return freedom to them, then I must walk a path of misfortune, treading the narrow slit between life and death."

"But no need to worry; I will naturally encounter that destined solution. Let go and act; just do what you believe is right."

"All my life, I've been wondering what that solution is."

"Today I finally understood."

"Entering the Bureau with my own body, solving my misfortune, saving all beings under heaven."

"You are truly the most brilliant pearl above the Heavenly Principles."

"This bow of mine is to thank you on behalf of all beings."

Speaking, the Death Witch Lani bowed deeply toward Li Cheng.

Li Cheng: "..."

Good, it's confirmed.

This heaven-defying witch's brain absolutely has a screw loose! But Li Cheng knew well that when facing a mental patient, the greatest taboo is to say she has a mental illness.

Especially in this situation where her intention is unknown.

Thus, Big Boss smiled softly, Hands Behind Back, Looking Down upon all beneath heaven: "Miss Diabolos, what you Say is Correct. Since I have come, then it goes to show that this Dead End is Solvable."

Hearing this, Lani's eyes brightened: "Please, Emperor Nya, teach me."

"Cough cough, before I teach you, I need to first know to what extent your understanding of this world has reached." Li Cheng's talent skill for hoodwinking people unconsciously activated again:

"Miss Diabolos, you just said no one can save the Eternal Sleep Witch. What do you mean?"

"This world is sick; presumably the Emperor has sensed this too." Lani said softly: "And whenever this world encounters something beyond its expectations, it generates a cage, sealing away that thing which might destroy the world."

"The Eternal Sleep Witch is that cage. Every generation of Eternal Sleep Witch, after sealing the power, falls into eternal slumber, with absolutely no possibility of waking."

"Lei Ha Na is naturally the same."

"No one can save her; even you are the same."

"This is the operating rule of this Illusory World."

"..." Listening to Lani's words, Li Cheng's eyes unconsciously narrowed.

The slumbering Eternal Sleep Witch truly is a tragic story.

But is there really no solution?

You must know, Lei Ha Na established a forbidden seal on Regina.

If the forbidden seal isn't lifted, Li Cheng cannot obtain all of Regina.

And if the forbidden seal is forcibly removed, then going by this ghost game's nature, it will surely trigger an Evil God invasion, game over, eject the sleep pod, delete the save file — a whole series of processes.

If that happens, the problem is big.

For a moment, Li Cheng fell into a dilemma.

Just then, another frantic voice resounded: "Lani, how many times have I told you not to use your authority to wander around in my trial, and don't contact my trial participants!"

Immediately, a crack appeared out of thin air, and the World Tree's avatar elder flew down in a rage.

"Heh, so it's you. Truly noisy." The Death Witch glanced at the avatar elder: "Daring to disturb my reunion with the Emperor, do you know this is already a capital offense!"

【222】 "..." The avatar elder's old face twitched, then he looked at Li Cheng: "Sorry, she probably didn't take her medicine today. I'll take her away right now."

Thus, Li Cheng smiled softly, stood with hands behind his back, looking down on the world: "Miss Diabolos, you are correct. Since I have come, it means this dead end is solvable."

"Take her away? Just by you? Heh." Lani sneered, a black curved blade materializing in her hand.

"..." Li Cheng watched this heaven-defying scene, yet his gaze unconsciously turned toward Lei Ha Na.

Really...

Is there no solution at all?
