Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1524 - 78: Origins of Elliog_2

"I have witnessed the great powers of the Mythical Species, knowing that you who traverse the river of time can effortlessly accomplish things unimaginable to ordinary people, which is why I suspect that all I’ve experienced, my so-called emotions, might all be fabricated and disguised, hence the feeling of unease."

Elliog quietly listened until the end, then smiled softly and said,

"I’m a little surprised, firstly that you still consider yourself a Human, and secondly, I always thought that people like you only care about having, not why..."

At the same time, her slender tail gently swept across Fisher’s chest along with her smile. Fisher didn’t reach out to grab it, but his eyes followed the flickering fireball in the darkness, "I didn’t expect, back then it looked like you were indifferent, turns out you always had hidden intentions in your heart, is this the false bravado of a male?"

The small, somewhat pretentious yet real doubt that had finally surfaced in his heart was caught by Elliog, but since it was already spoken, there was no chance to retract it. He could only smile helplessly and ask,

"Is there anything wrong with me still thinking I’m Human?"

"No, there’s nothing wrong, in fact, it’s a good thing."

Elliog withdrew her tail and said, "For those who cross ranks later on, especially Humans like you who rely on the Completion Manual to distort the rules, they easily forget their original intentions. Once they forget where they came from, where they’re going becomes extremely perplexing too. So generally, those with the manual are unquestionably mad, they are a scourge. Since my birth, I’ve seen too many, and killed too many..."

Fisher gulped, suddenly recalling the chilling scene when he first met Elliog at Old Jack’s tavern, realizing the hair-raising shiver was not an illusion, but Elliog’s genuine killing intent.

"As for your other question... Paimon’s thoughts, why she treated you like that, I’m entirely unaware, because essentially she isn’t a Demon. Although I see her action of imprinting you as a same-species seizure, it’s merely part of the long Dynasty culture... Being an Angel, whether or not she’s influenced by our culture is still uncertain... However, Fisher, regarding why I gave you my first time, I can tell you now."

Fisher was slightly stunned and then looked up at Elliog sitting on the table, slightly higher than him, watching her laziness gradually retire, leaving only the originally heroic face earnestly looking at him, seemingly waiting for his response.

Although the time spent with Elliog was short, her lazy, cat-like aura left a deep impression on Fisher, so at this moment, when her expression was particularly serious, Fisher felt somewhat unaccustomed, instinctively straightening his posture a bit and asked,

"...When I asked you earlier, you weren’t willing to tell me, right?"

Elliog patted her cheek, pouting and said,

"If you were to ask Paimon the same question directly, she’d definitely tell you the reason, but as for its truthfulness... haha, no one can guarantee. Earlier, I indeed didn’t want to tell you directly, because I had considerations I didn’t want to share, also I didn’t want to lie to you... but I’ve thought it through now, I’ll tell you everything."

"Did I do something during this time to change your mind?"

"No, just as per my original plan, I thought not telling you was much better than telling you..."

"I thought it was because of Helair."

"..." Elliog blinked, then added, "Ah, also because of her, seeing her overtake me indeed feels very unpleasant."

"..."

And after that, Elliog didn’t yawn again, just thought for a long time, hesitated for a long while, then a question as the beginning of her explanation was thrown out, she asked Fisher,

"Fisher, do you know why I like sleeping so much?"

"...Because of your nature?"

Like a little cat never having enough sleep.

Elliog shook her tail and head, denying,

"This is not my nature, Fisher. Quite the opposite, choosing sleep is postnatal choice...

"In reality, there’s no fundamental difference between me, Sidi, and every Demon besides Paimon. He has his nature, and I have my nature. He needs carnal desires to feed, while what I need is ’conflict,’ whether produced by myself or others. My powers invisibly push those around into unavoidable competition, this even my peers are no exception, I can and only can draw endless power and food from it (Fallen Self)...

"So, even when I slumber, as long as you pray to me, even if I don’t respond, they will be influenced by my power, self-destruct, let alone when I physically manifest... A long, long time ago, the prototype of Authority had already sprouted within me, just one step shy of the Nineteen Ranks, I know all it takes is one large-scale war to take this step... But I loathe it, I loathe my nature, loathe the endless conflict arising because of me.
