Twilight never thought that in her already short life, she would actually experience the day of being turned into the cuckolded victim by NTR…
Logically speaking, her current strength rarely met its match.
Especially now, having switched to the Preservation Path, trying to snatch someone from under her protection, even calling over those officially certified Emanators blessed by the Aeons, probably wouldn't be an easy task.
But now, this ridiculous scene had happened, right here on Jarilo-VI, a forgotten corner of the star chart that nobody would even notice… Vines seemed to obscure the sky, extending from every corner, covering everything in the blink of an eye.
Twilight's originally infinitely secure protection was shattered in an instant, and everyone around her was swallowed by the tide of plants.
This attack, difficult to trace its origin, appeared suddenly and disappeared abruptly. After scattering everyone, it vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared, leaving only Twilight stunned on the spot.
As she looked around bewilderedly, she found that not only had Qlipoth Fort turned into Qlipoth Plaza, but Caelus, Cocolia, and the others had also disappeared, presumably taken somewhere by the attacker.
How could Twilight accept this?!
You should know, Caelus's favorability and energy were more important to her than her own life! Whether she could farm energy depended entirely on him! So when she frantically opened the player forum, she found—the players were all laughing.
Oh, their waifu, the white-haired sister, had appeared and swept Caelus, along with Cocolia and Bronya, down to the Underworld. They were having a pretty happy date down there afterwards, so happy they'd forgotten all about Twilight.
How delightful, how congratulatory—the hell it was!
Damn it, NTR, right?!
As expected, players were all fickle jerks. As long as there was a beautiful girl in front of them, they would choose to DD (Daredemo Daisuki - Love Everyone) like crazy…
Looking at the comments on the player forum, one after another deciding to throw themselves into the arms of the white-haired sister, Twilight took immense effort to remain calm.
Endure, endure more… But could she really endure something that made her so furious?
The answer was yes.
There was no choice. The one who attacked just now was that person. Judging from the strength, that white-haired yellow-haired (blonde implied) rival could probably crush her to death directly. Twilight wasn't afraid of death, but not now. She still had favorability to max out, energy yet to collect, she couldn't fall yet…
So, Twilight gloriously chickened out.
Theoretically, anyone who stole energy and favorability from her was an enemy, and she should confront them regardless of their strength.
But a wise man once said, he despised all that was tall, but regained his senses before those excessively tall… In this situation, Twilight felt it was better to first learn the other party's fine virtues.
Otherwise, if this 20-million-energy alt account couldn't even earn back its cost, she would really feel heartbroken.
But this white-haired yellow-haired person was so strong. If she wanted to kill her, she should have been able to do it just now. Why didn't she make a move in the end…
Things she couldn't figure out right away, Twilight decided not to think about for now, because she had more important things to do.
That was—acting!
Caelus was captured—no, he was NTR'd away, but he wasn't dead.
This meant he would come back, and he would know what happened during his absence… Sometimes, learning about what someone truly did when you weren't there can be more impactful than seeing things with your own eyes.
You should know, although Caelus was NTR'd, her favorability in his heart hadn't changed. As long as she put on a good performance during his absence, when he came back, wouldn't she be able to easily handle him and explode countless gold coins?
Besides, Caelus wasn't here, but March 7th, Dan Heng, and Welt were still here! Weren't they also excellent targets for farming favorability and exploding gold coins?
Think… Put aside the anger of being NTR'd for now, think about how she could look more sorrowful.
Caelus, to her now, was missing! Although Twilight knew from the player forum that he wasn't in danger and knew his location, according to her persona, she couldn't possibly know this information.
So the current situation was: Caelus, whom she always clung to, had suddenly disappeared, his fate unknown, possibly suffering torture—and it was because she was too weak to protect him!
So, what should her reaction be now?
"Caelus…"
Twilight swayed unsteadily to her feet. As the one most targeted by the attack and the one who stood out to protect everyone, she had naturally taken the most hits.
The enemy's strength was unbelievably powerful. Even someone as strong as Twilight was now covered in wounds. When she was engulfed in the sea of vines just now, one of her arms was even broken and now hung limply at her side.
Combined with the terrifying wounds and dripping blood on her body, she looked exceptionally pitiful.
But these severe injuries seemed unimportant to her. Twilight just stared with bewildered, somewhat frightened eyes, desperately searching for something in the surroundings, like a kitten whose mother had been taken away, afraid of everything around her.
"Caelus… Where are you? Where did you go…?"
"Caelus?" She looked around again and again, but couldn't find the figure she wanted to see. Finally, fear and pressure turned into tears filling her eyes. "Caelus is gone, he doesn't want me anymore…"
An existence that could easily bear a notorious reputation now finally began to wail like a creature her age.
Briefly recalling her past alts, Twilight found that the stronger the alt, the more miserably they seemed to cry. Both she and Lee cried tears, but the weak Lihua and Shoko never cried… Sigh, maybe it was because the capable do more work, and strong people always had to find ways to bear more energy-farming tasks.
But regardless, crying, although embarrassing, was useful. When Li cried, her sheep didn't see it, but Twilight's sheep were right beside her now!
"Little, little Twilight…?"
The sound of crying is almost ingrained in human genes. After hearing that familiar voice crying, March 7th, who had been dizzy from the attack and rolled far away, forcibly woke up from her daze and struggled to get up from the ground.
Although the attack just now had made her look pathetic, it hadn't actually caused her any serious injuries. Her condition was much better than Twilight's.
And when she saw Twilight standing alone in the center of the ruins, covered in injuries and crying out, she felt her heartbeat stop for a moment.
"Little Twilight, are you okay—"
"Twilight!"
March 7th thought her reaction was fast, but someone else's actions were even faster. Before she could finish her sentence, a green figure had already flashed past her, rushing directly towards Twilight, his anxiety undisguised.
Dan Heng, he could also be this anxious… March 7th blinked.
