"You know so much. I'm suddenly starting to take an interest in you, you know?"
Vita brought her fingers together and then flicked them lightly, looking at Ryn with a laugh through the gap between her fingers.
"But, it's only a tiny bit of interest. Because you guessed one thing wrong... on this path to godhood, the one who failed was me, and also not me..."
"That's a real shame. You've lost an opportunity, you know?"
Ryn sighed with a look of regret and shrugged.
"I was going to send you on your way, give you a chance to start over in your next life. But it seems you won't appreciate it."
Vita blinked, as if she were seriously considering whether Ryn was serious about sending her on her way.
Then, she squinted her eyes and smiled at Ryn, feigning a look of gratitude.
"Oh no, I'm very, very grateful for your great kindness! I even hope you can send me on my way quickly, quickly, quickly~
"Heh..."
Ryn scoffed. He and Vita were just making small talk, both trying to stall for time for Kiana and Sirin.
And at the same time, to probe Vita for information to formulate a corresponding solution.
But Vita was like Hare. No matter what, whether he tried to anger her or kill her, it was like punching cotton. They didn't resist or struggle, just faced him with a cheerful smile.
Hare was full of curiosity and patience for everything, so she was very easy to talk to and very gentle.
In her smile, you could see the clarity and confusion of a university student. The kind of person who has a lot of knowledge in their head, but doesn't really know how things are until they see it for themselves, and then expresses a genuine "so that's how it is" of surprise and joy.
Vita, on the other hand, Ryn always felt she was planning something... Maybe she was a very gentle person too, but her smile seemed somewhat false and sad in Ryn's eyes. Not only was it not a smile from the heart, it was even like a puppet, forced and helpless.
But that was it. Ryn had pretty much figured out Vita's strength. It was time for him to go and join Ai in dealing with the "real big trouble."
Ryn glanced at Kukulkan, then opened a black hole behind himself, which moved forward rapidly, completely enveloping Ryn and then disappearing.
When Vita saw Ryn disappear, her face instantly darkened, but her eyes were filled with an irrepressible joy.
It was worth risking her life so many times...
She wasn't truly immortal in the way Ryn understood it. Once she was killed, she would really die...
It was just that now, because of the confrontation between Ai and Sa, she was trapped in an uncontrollable time loop, which was why she kept reappearing after being killed by Ryn.
But she didn't just let herself be easily killed by Ryn over and over again for nothing. She used this opportunity to intentionally or unintentionally expose her connection with "Sa" to Ryn.
Because, she hadn't told a single lie!
After Ryn left, only Kukulkan and Vita were left in a standoff.
Vita checked on Sa's condition and confirmed that she was too preoccupied to pay attention to her side. Then, she stopped pretending and laughed out loud, covering her mouth.
If Sa didn't die, she would.
But if Sa died, she wouldn't necessarily die.
Looking at Vita, whose expression changed from a long face to a burst of laughter, Kukulkan scratched her head in confusion. Although she knew that the powerful people these days had some mental problems, was there really someone like Vita who could be killed so many times and still laugh happily?
*Rip—*
Vita's existence was suddenly destroyed, shattering and disappearing before Kukulkan's eyes.
But less than a minute later, Vita reappeared in a way that seemed like time was being rewound.
The revived Vita sensed the time, then saw that Kukulkan had not moved from her spot.
She floated in front of Kukulkan, extended her hand, and conveyed her goodwill to Kukulkan.
"Hey, beautiful lady, seeing as you have no intention of fighting. Why don't we just stay here and quietly wait for the end of a god-slaying battle?"
Kukulkan blinked, then put her hands behind her back and took two steps back.
"I think I might, probably, have a girlfriend. So, thank you for your kind offer, but I refuse."
Kukulkan wasn't sure what her relationship with Maheśvara was, but she didn't want to be like Ryn, spreading her love around.
Her heart was very big and also very small. Big enough for dozens, but small enough for only two.
"Huh?"
Vita tilted her head in confusion, looking at Kukulkan carefully in disbelief.
Green long hair, a beautiful face and long slender legs that were no less than her own, plus the size of her chest. No matter how you looked at it, Kukulkan was a woman!
Could it be that as a proxy, as a puppet, she had been out of touch with society for too long?
No, in the former Fleurs-de-Sable, she seemed to have been into women too?
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you in that way. I just want to be friends with you..."
"That's even more out of the question. Although I look dazed, and although I like making friends, but... we are enemies.
And, you're not like those annoying people like the Herrscher of Finality Kiana, who can disable my abilities and take away my energy.
And what's more, this is outside of Earth, so I can let loose a little."
(Everyone calls her Kukulkan, her appearance is already based on her, so I'll copy her skills too. *wink*)
Kukulkan's green eyes instantly lit up, and then, a huge phantom, over 300,000 meters tall and resembling Kukulkan, appeared behind her.
At the same time, a huge inverted triangular golden platform appeared under Kukulkan and Vita's feet, lifting them up.
Vita tried to leave, but just like how she had been trapped in a time loop before, her fate was sealed here, and she could not escape.
For the first time, a look of panic appeared on Vita's face. Ryn had been too fast and ruthless, so she hadn't really experienced the pain and fear of death.
But the huge phantom behind Kukulkan, the suddenly appearing dueling arena that seemed to be bound by the laws of fate, and... the suddenly appearing "sun" above!
The moment the star appeared, the surrounding temperature instantly rose by thousands of times, causing the space to distort slightly in the high heat.
Kukulkan teleported above the dueling arena, floating in front of the phantom's chest, and then, along with the phantom behind her, spread her arms.
Then, Kukulkan raised one hand towards the huge star she had created, and then waved down towards the dueling arena below her.
"Star, fall from the cosmos!"
Vita landed on the platform and fell into deep thought. The desire to escape Sa's control and regain her freedom grew a little stronger.
What mistake had she made to be sent out by Sa to be killed so many times in one day...
The star crashed onto the platform, and a sound louder than Cortana's self-destructions before echoed through the Sea of Quanta.
