Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 276 Behind the Scenes

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

—Ophelia—

If destiny had a color, what color would it be?

If someone asked Ophelia, her answer would definitely be blue.

That tranquility exudes a beautiful color of faint sadness, which makes people suffer but not want to forget.

Eternal nostalgia.

However, Ophelia does not believe in fate.

When Illya and Alfred were talking deep in the time and space labyrinth.

This beautiful girl, with her beautiful silver-white hair tied on one side of her head with a blue hairband into a half ponytail, quietly sneaked into the deepest part of the time and space maze.

Inside the deepest seal of the space-time maze is a light blue and tranquil space.

At the very center of this mysterious dream space, there is an ugly monster that looks like the bodies of two human women sewn together.

They were huge in stature, perhaps more than ten meters tall.

This is Ophelia's goal this time. She wants to completely liberate these two poor girls.

The conjoined monster noticed Ophelia's presence and looked at her warily.

Although they exuded a slightly dangerous aura, these two children were not as brutal as Illya and the others thought.

They were just unfortunate enough to become tools of the remnants of the old humans, victims of their fear of the future and their endless desire for power.

This pair of sisters, who were born as conjoined twins, were used as guinea pigs for the gods' experiments from the very beginning.

They just don't know how to communicate normally with others, or how to use their own power to protect themselves from the malice of others.

It's just like Ophelia and her twin sister in the past.

Perhaps because they shared the same suffering, Ophelia had a very good impression of the conjoined sisters.

"I have no hostility towards you. Can you come closer?"

Ophelia asked the conjoined monster tentatively in a gentle tone.

The conjoined monsters twisted their heads, looked at each other, and then lay on the ground meekly.

Ophelia slowly approached the two of them.

When she came to the monster, she reached out and gently touched the bodies of both of them.

"Can we talk?"

"Yes, yes..."

The conjoined monster's vocal cords were not fully developed, and it could only barely squeeze out a sound to answer Ophelia.

"You don't have to force yourself. You can just nod or shake your head to answer me."

Ophelia suggested to the two, raising questions to the twin sisters.

"Do you want to live as normal human beings?"

The two heads of the conjoined monster looked at each other and nodded excitedly.

Although Illya and others thought that the sisters were sealed here, the actual situation was that the unfortunate sisters were afraid of the outside world and afraid to leave this maze of time and space.

No one has been able to trap them for a long time. The only thing that can trap them is their own hearts.

During the years they were sealed, the power of the twin sisters had already surpassed that of most gods.

Even if the main god of the Oss gods, that scum and traitor Jubivic, came, the sisters would have the strength to fight.

Maybe they could even beat that bastard.

However, by being trapped in the Illya Arya Puppet Master Academy, they gradually got to know the outside world and humans.

Like ordinary human girls, these sisters long for an ordinary and peaceful life.

They also want friends and want to experience love like normal people...

But no matter how much this pair of conjoined sisters desire, it would be difficult for them to be accepted by humans based on their current appearance, right?

Ophelia is also an experienced person, and she can understand the pain in the hearts of the sisters.

Out of sympathy, Ophelia wants to free them from their shackles.

For her own plan with her twin sister, Ophelia also needs the strength of the sisters.

"Then are you willing to believe me?"

Ophelia inquired.

The two sisters nodded again.

“Then, next I will separate the two of your souls from this body and let the two of you reincarnate.

This process may be very painful, and after reincarnation your power will be greatly weakened, and for a long time you will not be able to use the powers that this body can exert. "

Ophelia confirmed with the two sisters again.

There are two most basic conditions for the 'gods' created by the old humans to exert their power.

The first point is a soul that is strong enough to possess power.

The second point is to have a body strong enough to withstand the huge magical backlash generated by exerting power.

This is also true for the pair of sisters created by the 'Gods'.

Once they lose their current physical bodies, their current strength will surely be reduced to only one tenth of what it was.

But this pair of sisters, who have almost no ambition and just want to live a normal life like ordinary people, don't care about such things at all.

They agreed to Ophelia without hesitation.

In this way, both of them are considered qualified.

Ophelia and her sister would be very troubled if these two girls became addicted to power and forgot what they desired most in their hearts.

"Then I'm going to start."

Ophelia smiled gently and held out her hand to the sisters.

A soft silver-white glow emanated from her body, filling the entire space.

As the light gradually faded, all that was left in the seal was the lifeless body of the conjoined monster, which collapsed on the light blue crystal ground.

[Flora, I have successfully recovered the two children. I will trouble you with their reincarnation rituals and their care during this period.]

Ophelia used telepathic communication to call another companion of hers.

One of the virgin goddesses of the Oss, Ophelia of night and dreams.

【Leave it to me, Aunt Aoife.】

[My sister and I must have stressed many times that we have no blood relationship with that bastard Jubivic. If I had a scumbag brother like that, I would have killed him long ago.]

Ophelia complained unhappily.

[Eh~ But it would be weird to call you sister. After all, you two are older than mother...]

[Flora~? ]

Even though she was far away in the divine realm, that naughty girl should have sensed Ophelia's murderous intent.

Well, she immediately became very well-behaved, like a sensible little kitten.

This made Ophelia feel helpless.

[I'm sorry, Sister Aoife, I was wrong! I took the joke too far this time, I'm sorry! ]

[Forget it, I'll leave them both in your care. ]

[Please leave it to me without worry. I will never let Sister Noya and Sister Elya know about the existence of these two children. But Sister Ophie, when can you come back? ]

Flora asked somewhat dejectedly.

[It's almost time... I'm sorry for leaving you alone there. ]

[Hehe~ Actually, there is nothing wrong with staying in the God Realm. Sister Anastasia, Sister Noa, and Sister Elya all take good care of me. However, I still miss you two very much. ]

[The plan has reached the final stage, we will meet again soon. ]

Ophelia ended the communication with the goddess Flora and took out a small bag of original sin beads.

Some of these original sin beads were obtained by Ophelia from Sherrill, and some were left behind by the Annu followers who attacked Ilia and Alia.

She doesn't like these things, but she's going to use them this time.

Ophelia stuffed all the Sin Pearls into the wreckage of the unfortunate sisters.

Their bodies rapidly changed, becoming tainted with pitch-black malice and evil thoughts.

The huge body, which was already ugly, now turned into a disgusting monster.

(Okay, I'll leave this guy to you, Al, and Illya.)

Looking at the monster, Ophelia smiled with satisfaction.

Then she disappeared from the inside of the seal like mist.

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

—Alfred—

"How, how is this possible, did that thing wake up on its own?!"

Illya lost her original composure and muttered to herself in panic.

"Something's coming!"

Alfred set up a magic barrier in front of himself, Illya, and Evangeline.

However, the huge black tentacles that suddenly appeared from the blue crystal wall easily destroyed and tore apart the defensive barrier.

Alfred and Evelyn, who was holding Evelyn, immediately jumped away to avoid the tentacle attack.

This guy's true form is definitely a monstrous monster, Alfred realized.

"Even Jielin, could you go to the academy and call my companions over? Artemis should have left surveillance equipment in the main castle. Please inform her of what happened here.

She should know what to do and who to call.”

Alfred said to Yiyiwenjielin.

Yuwen Jielin turned around somewhat at a loss and looked at Illya who was holding her.

Yuwen Jielin is not familiar with Alfred and does not trust him very much.

The child subconsciously sought the opinion of Illya, whom he regarded as his mother.

"Can I ask you, Ewen?"

Illya tried to remain calm as much as possible and said to Iven Jielin with a gentle smile.

If she acted too panicked now, Yuwen Jielin would definitely worry about her.

Maybe this stupid girl will come back again later.

"I, I understand. But mom, do you want to stay?"

Yiwen Jielin asked anxiously.

"Yes, it's too much for Al to hold those things back by himself. If they get out, it will cause great harm to the outside world."

"I understand. I'll be back soon!"

"No, Yiwen, after you notify Al's companions, ask them to protect you. There is a girl named Wendy among Al's companions. She should be able to take you out of the range of the barrier safely."

Illya looked at Alfred and confirmed with his eyes.

After getting the affirmation, she gently stroked Yuwen Jielin's head.

Yuwen Jielin is now a complete soul body.

If the conjoined monsters completely destroyed the barrier of the space-time maze, her life would be in danger without any protection.

"Don't worry, mom, I'll be fine."

"Woo~ I get it, mom, you must be safe!"

Yiwen Jielin wiped her tears and disappeared with a whoosh.

Unlike humans, she moved purely as a soul, so it was much easier for her to use space-transfer magic to teleport.

When the unrelated mother and daughter said goodbye, the black monster had completely torn the blue space apart.

In the strange gray and white space, a large mass of black flesh was situated in the center.

He looked like an exaggerated hill, over a hundred meters high.

At the top of this mountain of flesh, one can vaguely see two female bodies entwined and overlapping with each other, like a statue of the goddess of blasphemy standing on this small hill.

A large number of strange masses leaped on the mountain of flesh, emitting disturbing sounds and smells.

Alfred had been in similar situations in the past.

“Illya, don’t attack those disgusting lumps and cysts yet. They should contain special monsters bred by this thing. The incomplete forms of those monsters are not only very fast, but also numerous. For us now, the mature forms may be easier to deal with.”

Alfred warned Illya.

The process of this guy hatching monsters is like raising a Gu.

Usually, an astonishing number of small monsters will hatch from a cyst. When these small monsters are born, they will constantly fight and eat their own kind in the mother's body.

The one that finally devours all of its companions will mature and become a power-oriented, slow-moving individual.

For Alfred and Illya now, this big guy is actually easier to deal with.

It was almost impossible for the two of them to defeat this mountain of flesh and His creations alone. What they needed to do was to delay time as much as possible.

"I see!"

"Then you will deal with the hatched monsters. I will go and attract the attention of the big guy."

Alfred materialized the spiritual suit and turned it directly into the shape of a rifle.

He aimed at the part on the top of the meat mountain that looked like two women's bodies overlapping each other and pulled the trigger.

A blue-green flame burst out immediately, and the projectile formed by magic power directly cut off part of the head.

Alfred attacked, completely enraging the black mountain of flesh.

He waved hundreds of tentacles, wriggling like the disgusting limbs of an arthropod, and attacked Alfred.

Illya was worried about Alfred, but she also had a job she had to do.

This time, she transformed her spiritual equipment into the longbow, which she was best at. The moment the monsters broke out of the cysts of the meat mountain, she released invisible silver-blue light arrows to kill them.

Although both of them did not hold back, they fought with all their might against this mountain of flesh and His creations.

However, the magic power of this mountain of flesh seemed endless. Even if Illya killed dozens of monsters, he could still hatch more monsters continuously.

Illya's longbow attack speed was not fast, and she gradually began to be unable to defeat all the monsters.

In desperation, Illya, like Alfred, had to run away while reducing the number of enemies as much as possible.

As for Alfred, even after destroying dozens of tentacles and limbs of the meat mountain, he was still full of energy and launched an attack that could kill Alfred with just one strike.

These tentacles and limbs will regenerate in just a few seconds, and it is impossible to defeat them all.

Alfred and Illya are in trouble.

Although they can hold their own against this mountain of flesh for now, if one of them runs out of magic power, the balance they maintain now will immediately collapse.

Alfred also considered that this thing had a core.

However, relying solely on his current magical perception, he would not be able to find the core even if it really existed.

Now Alfred can only hope that Emilia and the others can arrive as soon as possible.
