"It seems you've realized the problem."
Nini showed a subtle smile.
Chloe also fell into deep thought.
Nini put forward a bold assumption that perhaps the Stars had foreseen the birth of the Fear Demon God from the very beginning, rather than responding only after the disasters it caused.
"Do you have such a thought because of Talos?"
"Yes."
Storm Lord Talos.
He was once one of the deities born on the Stars Continent.
In the Divine Fire Era, to seize the True God Uniqueness of the Dark Night Goddess, he organized a group of deities to besiege her.
However, due to underestimating the perfectly digested True God Uniqueness of the Dark Night Goddess' power, the plan ended in failure, and after suffering vengeful retaliation from the Dark Night Goddess, the Storm Lord chose to find sanctuary elsewhere.
He was lured by the will of the Demon Hall with a nearly complete True God Uniqueness and joined the hall.
Over the long years, Talos continuously digested and completed this "Gift of Betrayal," eventually becoming one of the strongest figures in the Demon Hall.
Yet he was not satisfied with this.
Perhaps he was still obsessed with Shire's True God Uniqueness, and when the Demon Hall planned to scheme against the Dark Night Goddess, he decisively became their Vanguard General.
Thus, a shocking battle erupted in the last historical echo.
Talos fell.
The True God Uniqueness of the "Storm" was torn apart, with some taken away by the world will of the Demon Hall, and part of it consumed by his transformation into the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch.
However, due to severe incompatibility with this True God Uniqueness, the power was quickly released after the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch disintegrated, taken away by the will of the Stars.
Then the fragmented Filthy Sun essence scattered across.
The Holy Bone Uniqueness was permanently lost as it transferred to Rephya.
It was replaced by the Titan Race Uniqueness.
The Dark Night Uniqueness was divided, with part held by the current Fufu as the "Shadow Monarchy," and another part within himself.
The Pride Uniqueness intertwined with the Divine Format and Divine Power of the Dark Night Goddess, inherited by the eldest son, the "Emperor," becoming the "Destruction Black Sun."
A portion of the Abyss and filthy power source from the Demon Hall merged into the World Tree, causing the God of Growth and Forest to corrupt into the "Desire Mother Tree."
This directly caused him to evolve more towards the "Filthy Moon Demon King" as his power increased.
We can say the struggles between the World Groups almost all revolve around True God Uniqueness.
However, what seems like common True God Uniqueness today had emptied half the reserves of the undeniable dominator "Bottomless Abyss" 13,000 years ago within the World Group.
The entire Abyss initially had only seven complete True God Uniquenesses.
Those were the Seven Deadly Sins.
The True God Uniqueness possessed by other strongest figures of the Abyss were completed over long ages from incomplete states.
Yet this precious Seven Deadly Sins was beheaded by the Stars in one fell swoop?
Is it really just because the Seven Heroes were too strong?
"Seems like, I've been the Elf Queen for too long, I've fallen into a knowledge trap."
Fufu self-mocked.
Even the Demon Hall only offered one incomplete True God Uniqueness when enticing the top combatants of the Stars to defect.
The completion of the Storm Uniqueness was the result of Talos' years of hard work.
But what about the Stars?
Aside from Kai's Dragon's Uniqueness, the six other Heroes' uniquenesses all came from the Stars.
Although not fully complete, they absolutely countered the Fear Demon God.
In other words, long before the beheading plan was formulated, in an even earlier era, the Stars might have passed through "inference," calculating the birth of the Fear Demon God and systematically assessing its threat.
Therefore, the Stars consumed their essence early, deducing an incomplete True God Uniqueness sufficient to counter the Seven Deadly Sins, nurturing it until the Age of the Seven Heroes, to formally launch the plan.
"After comprehensive consideration, start preparing the victory conditions from many years ago and bet everything on it?"
Chloe sighed.
That isn't calculating enough?
It calculated to the extreme.
Strategic plotting isn't scary.
Daring to risk lives isn't scary.
The scary part is... the Stars not only strategized but also dared to put their lives on the line.
As facts have proven, they won the bet.
And not just once.
Not only did they cut off the ascending development momentum of the Abyss, but they also used the uniqueness of the Abyss to create a King of Redemption.
"So, is Rephya's Hero Simulation System given to her by the Stars?"
Chloe was thoughtful.
Dirty.
Too damn dirty.
Defeating the Fear Demon God and nurturing the King of Redemption aside.
At this moment, Chloe suddenly realized something interesting.
He looked up at Fufu and saw her looking at him as well.
He had previously told Fufu about his intrusion into Rephya's system.
He just hadn't said how he did it.
Fufu said, "Although I don't know what method you used to infiltrate Rephya's deduction, or the world deduction, at least one thing is certain."
"Yes, it was after I infiltrated the deduction that I had the second entry into the historical echo."
Without the prior accumulation from the simulation, he wouldn't have been able to quickly digest the power of the Titan Race.
Nor would he have been able to burn his vibrant talent to confront Talos at the peak.
Without all these conditions, the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch wouldn't have been born.
And there's no way that after his split, the remaining power could create a "Destruction Black Sun" for the Stars.
The existence of "Destruction Black Sun" is also the prerequisite for the birth of the "King of Redemption."
If there hadn't been an invincible Emperor providing crucial protection for the newly arrived Kai in the darkest era...
It would have been disastrous.
Heavens know how much combat power the Stars would have lost.
Aren't those methods calculating enough?
"One thing can be sure..." Fufu hesitated for a moment and said, "The Stars couldn't have predicted everything, especially regarding you and Kai, your variables are too great."
Chloe nodded.
If the Stars could foresee all of their actions, they would have been invincible long ago.
The Eternal Fierce Sun won't necessarily fall.
It's just to say that there's a significant difference between near-omniscience and absolute omniscience.
Even so, the methods of The Stars are too insane.
This guy... really bets everything on the table time and again in desperate situations.
So much so that even after Fratiss sorted out the situation, she showed a speechless expression:
"Who would have thought our World Will is the ultimate gambling addict?"
"Ahem, don't put it so harshly."
No wonder all major world groups are eyeing The Stars.
This kind of "first in unpredictability" player, who knows how much trouble they could cause.
And you call this the lawful camp (pointing)?
"At least this alleviates some of my worries."
Chloe said softly.
He actually had enough caution regarding the system.
He could roughly guess where his system came from.
But as for Rephya's system, he couldn't quite figure it out.
Now that the confusion was cleared, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, stop overthinking it. Just go with the flow."
Fratiss smoothed the wrinkles on his brow and then said:
"You worked hard in this Fantasy Show."
"Ah, no."
"Watching from the audience, I was getting jealous."
"Oh? Were we that good?"
Chloe showed a surprised expression.
Fratiss gave him a suspicious look.
This guy, he really doesn't seem to see Fratiss as a female.
Poor little foodie.
So she said:
"Kidding, your performance was outstanding."
Chloe chuckled awkwardly, but cold sweat was already trickling down his back.
Passed, he passed.
It's good that Fratiss didn't delve deeper.
Fratiss stood up, walking barefoot on the stone path with her boots in hand, as the two walked towards the distance.
While walking, the girl suddenly said:
"...If I had known, I would've volunteered to be the female lead."
Chloe remained silent.
This time's Fantasy Show was a preparation by Lilith for the final decisive battle.
Regardless of who came, she would only coercively designate Fratiss as the female lead.
Because it was the only chance for the little foodie to survive.
But... Fratiss was still jealous.
Chloe sighed inwardly.
Indeed.
A girl who likes him, seeing such a scene, how could she not be jealous?
So he stepped forward, suddenly hugged Fratiss from behind, spun her around twice before placing her down, and then kissed her directly on her rosy lips amid Fratiss' watery eyes.
"Now, you are my female lead too."
"Mm."
Fratiss smiled.
All words were unnecessary at that moment.
"Find an opportunity, Sister Fratiss, to do a Fantasy Show too, with me."
He lowly gave a promise.
Fratiss paused and then pinched his cheek, saying:
"You, are you trying to take advantage of me during a Fantasy Show?"
"What if I say yes?"
"If I'm the female lead, the kissing scene would be like this..."
She proactively kissed Chloe, her blushing cheeks showing a hint of shyness: "Isn't my acting pretty good now!"
Chloe chuckled softly, saying:
"Mm, it fits the role of the female lead perfectly!"
Fratiss's gaze towards Chloe became slightly more tender.
She suddenly reached out to take Chloe's hand, and leaned backward.
Chloe didn't deliberately control it and fell into the lake with her.
The splashing water created ripples, and the two held hands tightly as they kept sinking towards the depths.
[It's so quiet underwater]
Fratiss' voice came through.
Chloe said nothing, just held her hand, quietly watching the blue lake illuminated by bioluminescent algae.
The two of them, like swaying mermaids in the water, gently embraced each other.
[Sister Fratiss...]
[Mm]
[To see you again, I'm really happy]
Fratiss smiled.
The two kissed again.
From the corner of their mouths, bubbles continually rose.
In a daze, it felt like they had returned to when they were still a couple.
Fratiss blinked and said:
[I miss our child a little.]
[Then let's quickly become stronger and go see him!]
