The contract is the worst kind of contract.
If that were to happen, it would mean that Cecilia's clone would be completely under Rhodes' control.
If Cecilia really isn't human, then something like a contract is nothing at all.
The problem is that she is a human being, a being with dignity.
At this moment, everything about her is being challenged, including her dignity and her sense of self.
His body began to tremble, and he even had the thought of simply dying.
No matter what, a contract—that kind of agreement—isn't acceptable.
Ok.
That's it.
Cecilia will never realize her mistake, and she will never correct it.
Her so-called request for forgiveness was nothing more than another form of provocation, using the most perfunctory method to simply erase the past.
Therefore, when the actual punishment came, she panicked.
Rhodes understood this principle, which is why he deliberately abandoned the contract to disgust her.
if not?
After letting her accept two painful punishments lightly, they simply let her go?
How is that possible?
He really needed to teach this little maid, whom he had personally trained, a good lesson.
Although he wouldn't actually use the contract for anything, he would at least want to mentally damage her.
"Rhodes—I was wrong, wasn't this really unnecessary?"
Cecilia's stubborn attempt to salvage her last shred of dignity was clearly futile.
"Besides, even if I were to sign this contract, it would only restrict my physical body. The contract Professor Merrick offered wasn't really a mental bond—"
"It doesn't matter, as long as the one next to me behaves himself," Rhodes said with a contemptuous laugh.
"Sign or not?"
"I won't sign it—"
No matter how much she resisted, it was no use. At this moment, Rhodes' figure firmly blocked all her opportunities to "sign".
Oops----
But there's no way to leave.
She bent down and picked up the contract.
The twisted emotions in her heart made her start to breathe erratically.
To put it bluntly, if she signs the contract, it means that her body will be accepted by Rhodes.
Although there are some issues with their identities, it's not bad to exchange one body for the chance to stay together for a long time, is it?
It just means that all the bad things his other bodies do in the future will come back to haunt him.
Oh no, oh no, my dear—
She looked up at Rod Rod's face. His face was cold, but it couldn't hide his handsome features. His purple eyes were like an abyss, making it impossible for her to look away.
That's it.
There's nothing wrong with playing along with him.
She extended her fair finger and offered it to Rhodes, attempting to have him cut a bloody mark to establish the contract.
But then something strange happened.
Rod ignored her outstretched fingers and calmly, with a smile, placed his hand below her abdomen. "Press here, and the mark will appear here."
99
Cecilia was completely stunned.
This is... lower abdomen? No, this can't be happening!
After locking Cecilia in the stone house, Rhodes returned to the ruins of the Duke's mansion.
We've had our fill of fun, but we still have serious business to attend to.
The battle was too rushed, and I was unable to fully express the emotions I wanted to convey or make things clear.
Even right after the battle, Ivina only told him the general outline of things.
There are still many things that need to be discussed and clarified together.
After all—he hadn't yet given her the reward for successfully entering adulthood. Whether it was a promise or protection, he needed to help the girl truly let go of these troubles and successfully break free from this cage.
He walked straight to the room that Ivina had arranged.
At the same time, after his eyes swept over the area where people were cleaning up the mutilated bodies and tidying up, he felt as if his clothes were stained with blood.
It was clearly a brand new outfit that I had just changed into.
"That's all there is to it." Rhodes remained silent. "If the witches don't actively seek trouble, they won't die, and neither will the humans."
"But it's unrealistic for them not to actively cause trouble for humans."
Although he survived this battle safely and demonstrated the formidable abilities he displayed in his fourth promotion battle, he was still somewhat lacking.
He is still far from being as powerful as Merrick, and his current strength is even inferior to Lilith's.
What happens in bed doesn't matter, but combat prowess is crucial.
He wouldn't let Felicity suffer the same pain he did in his past life for failing to save the Linlank Empire.
At the same time, Rhodes casually opened his own panel—
[Rhodes]
[Upgrade Level: Three times]
【property】:
Physical Fitness: 254→410
[Agility]: 221 → 375
[Physical Constitution]: 237→399
[Spirit]: 260 → 420
[Faith Deity: Outer God (Unique) (Abnormal)]
[Talent: You can fuse the characteristics of all other divine species to create entirely new talent skills.]
[Currently possessing divine seeds: God of Soul Evolution, God of Sky-Soaring Dragons, God of Life's Radiance, and Spirit God]
[Current Skill 1: Listen to the Dragon's Song of Life, Dragon Heart of Life, Creation Body, Elf Dragon Sword, Power of Life, Heavenly Eye, Creation Pendulum, Dream Realm Chaos]
When the brand-new panel was revealed to Rhodes, he was slightly taken aback.
"The attribute values have increased that much?"
He was so engrossed in the battle that he hadn't noticed anything before, but now that he's come to his senses, he realizes how ridiculously strong he's become.
That makes sense. Killing so many witches who had been promoted three times and other scoundrels, plus the battles and sparring with powerful beings who had been promoted four times, activated the potential of the attribute points that had been accumulated before, so it's only natural that the increase was so great.
If they had killed Sheila directly, they might have been able to break through to the fourth level of ascension and fuse with the next god seed.
But whatever.
Whether the next god-seed will truly attempt to fuse with the fallen demon god, or choose to follow the normal twelve gods, remains to be seen.
Therefore, once he finishes Merrick's next mission and the priests who came from the capital to pick him up arrive, it will be about time for him to break through and advance four more times.
As he was thinking this, he walked along without realizing it, unaware that Merrick had suddenly appeared in front of him. "Hey." Merrick patted his shoulder.
Merrick's voice brought Rhodes back to his senses, his eyes widening slightly: "Professor."
Merrick casually leaned against the windowsill, legs crossed. "You've done a superb job on this mission."
"Thank you for the compliment, Professor."
"Don't interrupt me." Merrick glanced at them coldly and continued, "We have successfully wiped out a large witch team: one Saint, one who has been upgraded five times, and two who have been upgraded four times."
If you hadn't revealed the witch's purpose, perhaps most of the nobles would indeed have been killed or wounded. Therefore, I will report your achievements in this battle to the military.
In a couple of days, you can go to the military headquarters to collect some rewards. This is the reward I promised.
Here it is, the advancement item provided upon completion of the RPG quest—
Rhodes has long suffered from his low skill level, and now he can finally improve it.
In an instant, Merrick took out three [Linked Scrolls] from his pocket and handed them to Rhodes, saying, "Take these."
As Rhodes received the three parchment scrolls engraved with special inscriptions, his eyelids relaxed slightly.
The link scroll is much more valuable than gold coins. Not to mention that you can't buy it, even if you could, this one scroll that has only been upgraded twice is worth three months of Sheila's salary.
"Thank you, Professor Merrick."
"This matter is considered settled for now. We'll prepare to return to the academy tomorrow," Merrick replied coldly. "After all, the witch's matter is temporarily resolved, but new things have emerged."
"The situation at the academy suddenly deteriorated rapidly yesterday, and we don't have time to stay here idly."
"I initially thought it was just a small matter, but it seems that's not the case."
Rod stroked his chin: "A marine species, what's wrong?"
"Didn't I mention it a couple of days ago? There were a few students in the academy who had been parasitized, but in the last two days, the number has increased tenfold."
For this reason, panic has led to an increase in the number of students who have fallen into demonic possession.
The most troublesome thing is that powerful marine creatures have been appearing on the city's eastern coastline, attempting to land. You know what that means, right?
Rodben's calm expression froze again, and he frowned slightly.
He certainly understood what this meant, but the problem was—
This doesn't fit the plot.
They hadn't encountered a large-scale attack by marine species during their first playthrough.
After all, the fall of the Star God is still not a settled matter, and the marine species would never be so arrogant as to start a war directly.
Theoretically, it should be three months, no, it's two and a half months now, before other nations start trampling on the empire.
The only change brought about by the second playthrough is that everyone is reborn.
As Merrick had previously stated, the most likely reason why the marine species moved to the academy was because someone deliberately left their precious belongings inside.
In other words, among the reborn people, someone deliberately instigated the marine species' attack?
Who did this?
Rhodes immediately thought of Cecilia, after all, only she would be so idle as to do such a terrible thing, and she herself admitted that she had indeed been at the academy some time ago.
However, the clues are uncertain, and even if they go back to interrogate Cecilia now, it won't be of much use, since they will have to stay here for the night anyway.
So, I'll torture her again tomorrow.
Rhode certainly hoped it was Cecilia who did it; if it wasn't her, that would be the truly terrifying thing.
Knowing the enemy is one thing, but if an unknown enemy reappears, that's deadly.
Thinking about this, even his strong heart couldn't take it.
"So, with this sudden and terrible change, has my mission changed?" Rhodes changed the subject and asked in return.
"No, your mission remains the same: to find the possible [treasure]." Merrick shook his head. "I just have an additional mission: to help the military eliminate the marine species on the coastline."
"However, the crisis is clearly much more serious than the previous two days, so if the performance is outstanding, more rewards may be provided appropriately."
In other words, she was going to help the military kill those monsters, so the academy's part was left to Rhodes and his team to handle, and the reward was increased.
That's obvious, since firstly, there are definitely no strong monsters in the academy, and secondly, Merrick isn't really good at finding clues, so leaving it to Rhodes is the best choice.
"Understood, Professor Merrick."
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go back and rest."
"Hmm." Rod nodded gently.
Watching Merrick brush past him, Rod looked at Ivina's room in front of him, took a step, and at that moment, truly soothed the girl's emotions, and then let her live obediently.
Rhodes walked to Ivina's door and then gently knocked on it.
"Ivina".
There was a slight silence in the room, and no response.
There was a response only after several rapid thuds of footsteps on the wooden planks.
The girl walked to the door and opened it.
At this moment, Ivina had removed her makeup and changed into the white dress she usually wore to sleep in.
Although her eyes still had red marks from crying that night, her energy and spirit had clearly improved. Her face was a little rounder than before, and her lips looked healthier.
Her hands gripped the wooden door like cat paws, a little cautiously. "Yes—"
"Are you okay staying in your room by yourself?" Rod asked with a smile.
"Huh?" Ivina looked up blankly. "Now? I'm not even in my room by myself yet."
"?"
A big question mark appeared in Rhodes's mind.
However, as soon as Ivina opened the door, Rhodes understood the truth. At that moment, Felicity was sitting at the dressing table, helping Ivina tidy up her things after removing her makeup, while Lilith habitually sat in the corner chair.
Yes, there are three girls in this room now.
Rhodes fell silent for a moment.
No, I'm about to start a special cutscene. You two stay here?
I do not engage in group sex.
No, that's not the point.
The key is—
Ivina's room was bombed a couple of days ago, so it's understandable that they slept together.
But now Ivina has her own room, and he still comes to see her in the middle of the night, which is seen by Felicity and Lilith. No young girl would want her lover to be in someone else's room in the middle of the night, or rather, they would definitely be jealous.
After all, what is it that needs to be discussed so late at night? It's the same if we talk about it tomorrow morning, right? After such an exhausting experience, everyone should get some rest.
He deliberately chose to enter her room at night, when the girl was vulnerable.
Yes, at that moment, Rhodes suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap.
The two girls' eyes, like those of tigers, peered over.
