Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1728 - 140: Love Before Dusk (Part 2)

After saying all this, Elizabeth pointed to her prosthetic eye and asked Fisher,

"I don’t know about the rest of the chaos, but Fisher, have you ever thought about what caused this doomsday prophecy? Is our world inherently sinful, destined for destruction without reason? No, it’s because the gods who created this world committed sins, and we’re merely collateral damage. Why should we bear the consequences of their mistakes, just because we are their creations?"

Fisher looked at Elizabeth, who spoke so lightly about so many things, and only then did he realize that this woman, who had been sharing his bed for several days, knew as much as he did.

Yet, Elizabeth’s words didn’t disrupt his thoughts; even with the changing situation, some things remain constant.

"Elizabeth, the chaos invasion targets not only the gods themselves but everything they created. I don’t care how the gods are, but our existing rules are constructed by them. If they perish, the rules will inevitably collapse; isn’t the gap in the sky proof of this?"

"What’s wrong with the existing rules collapsing?"

Yet Elizabeth looked at Fisher and suddenly questioned him calmly, making Fisher incredulous,

"Do you know what the collapse of rules means? You haven’t witnessed the chaos devouring rules during the outbreak of death. I’ve seen it. You don’t know how many people would die or how many living creatures would perish from the rule collapse. I know..."

When the Death Authority exploded ten thousand years ago, he saw the authority of death devour all living creatures indiscriminately. He mistakenly thought Elizabeth didn’t know how terrible the scene was, so he tried his best to describe it to her.

But today, Elizabeth’s replies always surprised him.

She just looked at Fisher expressionlessly and said in a calm tone,

"Yes, but what does it matter? I only care if the Nali people are intact, if you are intact. Do you think I’ve stirred wars across the world to create death for what reason? To watch bodies explode like fireworks? No, I’m just preparing for the coming new order. With the Death Trinity, when the gods perish and the new world welcomes new order, I’ll have the power to create the rules I want..."

As Elizabeth blocked Fisher’s words one by one, the fantasies or delusions in his mind truly shattered at this moment.

All along, Fisher had perhaps been making different excuses for Elizabeth within himself.

She was just hurt by her past actions; it was his fault that led her to this situation today; she was merely bewitched by the prosthetic eye, causing her to understandably commit those mistakes; she was just confused by the chaos attached to the prosthetic eye, unaware of its true significance.

So, although Fisher seemed to use various reasons and viewpoints to try to persuade Elizabeth, he was actually convincing himself, and it was only when Elizabeth said this again that he truly had nowhere to retreat, unable to justify her actions with other reasons.

And it was only now that he understood what the Cardinal of Destiny meant when he spoke to him.

He looked at Elizabeth, expressionless in front of him, feeling as if he was meeting her for the first time, as if she was unprecedentedly unfamiliar, and he couldn’t help but step back, seeming unable to bear the terrifying shadow scent she emitted at the moment. He couldn’t help but murmur,

"What happened to you in the four and a half years I wasn’t here, Elizabeth? When did you become so cruel?"

Initially, no matter what Fisher said, Elizabeth patiently listened. But upon hearing these words, she seemed unable to endure any longer, her facial muscles twitched unnaturally, finally turning into a cold smile,

"...When did I become so cruel? What do you mean? Are you saying I’m different from the Elizabeth you knew before?"

"You know what I’m talking about. How could you speak indifferent words like these before? Elizabeth, do you know how heavy are the words between your lines, how many lives they involve, yet you can speak them without any burden..."

Bursting into anger, Elizabeth’s expression changed from cold sarcasm to fury, her eyes instantly spreading dense golden veins, covering half her forehead and temple, like a raging lion. Coupled with her bulging veins, it was clear how agitated she was.

Unable to restrain herself any longer, she pointed at Fisher, her voice thundering with fury,

"Enough! Fisher! You think I don’t know what you’re thinking?! You think standing on moral high ground can criticize me? I’m the Empress of the Nali people, responsible only to them! You think you’re a world ideologist, healing the world with benevolence? You’re just considering those women connected to you!! If this world ends, how will their hometowns and native lands fare, right?!"
