The beautiful boy who was reborn in the dark world of women

"Lor...what did you do to Lor!"

Seeing the young man curled up in her arms in great pain, Frey harshly questioned the figure with a human body and a snake tail not far away.

The god remained silent, there was nothing on his white mask, and naturally he had no joy or anger. He just gently pulled the silk thread in his hand.

Frey suddenly felt her arms empty, and subconsciously wanted to hold on to the boy, but she could only touch the air that was still filled with a faint fragrance.

"Lore!"

The two ends of the transparent silk thread seemed to have some kind of pulling force that spanned space. Echidna raised his hand and pulled Lor towards him effortlessly.

Look at me

Lor had just managed to get rid of the painful sensory impact, and the next moment, he was strangled by the other party.

Even though the opponent had not yet killed him, the overwhelming power of God had already made Lor breathless.

Lor could only keep his eyes open and stare at the white mask without any facial features. In the boy's eyes, the light on the mask began to distort.

Gradually, a flawless face replaced the original mask. Lor's eyes widened and he saw——

he himself.

The god in front of him suddenly transformed into his appearance, with black hair falling like a waterfall, a face that seemed to be carved by a god, rosy and tender lips, and...

A pair of clear and bright golden eyes.

The art of puppetry.

This is just like looking in the mirror, the only difference is that the eyes of Lor in the mirror are more indifferent, like dead and dark ice.

The face that looked exactly like his own calmly said, "Do you regret sharing your precious love with a despicable group?"

"Lord——"

A silver chain shot out from nothingness, trying to snatch Lor back from the opponent, but when the chain got close, it seemed to have lost its target. After circling above his head several times, it fell directly on the god.

Then it turned into a pool of silver paint.

Even the divinity could not distinguish who the real Lor was at this moment, and was therefore confused about the direction of the witchcraft.

"I only believe what I saw with my own eyes... What I saw... was definitely not a despicable group."

The boy, whose throat was strangled, spoke with difficulty.

His life depended on the other person's thoughts, but he just stared at the face in front of him that looked exactly like his own.

"Perhaps their ancestors committed extremely ugly crimes, but the evildoers of the past have received the due punishment... Their sins should not be passed on to those innocent snake people after so many years..."

"...In my brief journey through the abyss, what I saw were noble souls who were willing to sacrifice themselves for the survival of their race..."

"If you really loved this race...why not give them a chance..."

"Snake people will believe in you more devoutly than anyone else..."

The arm that was strangling his throat exerted a little force, as if to strangle the boy to death, interrupting his words.

The puppet face that looked like the boy's began to twist again, and the beautiful facial features seemed to be caught in a white vortex. In the vortex, a new face emerged again.

This time, what appeared was a tattered face. It should have been an extremely beautiful face, but it was covered with countless hideous scars, as if it had been cruelly torn apart by an external force and then glued together again.

There were no pupils on that face, and the empty eye sockets seemed like a cave leading to hell, revealing a shocking hideousness and cruelty.

Luo Er choked, he naturally understood why this was happening——

His body had been divided up and eaten by the ancestors of the snake people, and existed in the form of divine bones in the bodies of the evil gods. It was not until the most powerful evil god devoured all of its other sisters that he was able to be resurrected in the body of the other god.

Once this huge hatred and pain was reborn, it overwhelmed the territory of the present world and fell directly into the abyss. Echidna also changed from a snake god living in a cave and living in peace with the world to the feared evil god of the abyss today.

This ugly and unclean face was proof of the original sin of the snake people. He looked at the boy's expression, which seemed to be frightened by him, and a hoarse, mocking laugh came out of his mouth.

[Look at me now]

[You pretty little one]

He raised his hand, as if wanting to touch Lor's face, but he did not put it down for a long time. The more he listened to the hoarse laughter, the more he could feel the boundless sadness and pain.

Lor thought of the puppet technique created by this god, and the extremely ugly monsters he created after falling into the abyss.

In contrast, in the present world, most of those blessed by this god were handsome and charming snake people...

Echidna is probably a god who loves beauty. After all, he himself once possessed an extraordinary appearance.

So much so that after being betrayed by the snake people, he began to hate beautiful things, and everything he created from then on were nightmarish evil creatures.

He was using this ugly gesture to tell Lor——

He never forgives.

Ruby-like tears of blood condensed in the empty eye sockets on the face of the Mother of the Basilisk. She pulled the boy closer and gently stroked his face with her other hand.

What a great face

[If you really want me to forgive the snake man’s sins]

[Just give me your face]

A pure white faceless mask appeared in his hand. He put it on the boy's face, and then used his sharp nails to move along the edge of the mask bit by bit.

Lor only felt a slight stinging sensation, and on the skin at the edge of the mask, there was an arc-shaped mark as if it had been cut by a dagger.

This is... a puppet ceremony.

Yes, The Book of Nimo.

The last connection between him and the other party was the Book of Nemo. He had rewritten the book with the divinity of love, but in turn, he had established a connection with the god in front of him.

Lor figured this out, but it seemed too late.

During this process, Frey and Nellie have been trying to take Lor back from Him, but the puppet's divinity confuses the real and the fake.

All offensive spells, when approaching Echid, would be deflected to the scattered monsters, like some kind of passively triggered substitute puppets.

Puppet means fake.

"Lore!"

“Stop it—”

Frey's eyes widened, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't save Lor from the hands of a god.

Seeing that the other party was about to peel off his entire face along the edge of the mask, the boy slowly closed his eyes and spoke softly.

"I'm going to die..."

"Sister Yasha."

Echidna's body staggered, as if pulled by something, and his knife-like nails suddenly deviated, almost scratching the boy's flawless skin.

A faint trace of blood was left on that handsome face.

He frowned and looked at his palms which were full of stitches and cracks.

A blood-colored thread appeared at his fingertips, but this time, it was not controlled by him.
