Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

Seeing the snack that Elise was feeding her, Lily blinked and took a bite without hesitation. It was a pretty good meat patty with plenty of spices, and she thought it tasted quite good.

"The food in Amos isn't anything special, so just make do for now. When we get back, I'll take you somewhere where the food will definitely satisfy you."

Perhaps sensing Elise's thoughts, the long-lost mark of gluttony reappeared on the back of Elise's hand, carrying a slight burning sensation.

Elise gently stroked the mark of gluttony to calm it down before continuing to stroll around with Lily.

However, as they walked, Elise led her people into a small alley.

While eating the snacks she had just bought, Lily mumbled, "Do you want me to help you?"

"No need, they're all my people."

As Elise finished speaking, several mercenaries who looked rather intimidating walked into the alley. Their eyes, which had been fierce, turned fervent with anticipation when they saw Elise.

These are some of the people she seduced during the defense of the Forest of Sanctuary. These were originally landmines she planted among the crowd, but before they could detonate, the relocation of the Forest of Sanctuary ended.

So Elise simply left these people in Amos to gather information about the Endless Icefield for her.

The lead mercenary respectfully recounted Amos's information to Elise.

During the Battle of the Forest of Sanctuary, although many people died in the collapse of the World Tree, some people still refused to give up and tried to uncover more secrets from the Endless Ice Plains.

Therefore, the Endless Ice Plains did not become deserted due to the defeat of the Forest of Sanctuary; on the contrary, it became much more lively than before.

In particular, some people have discovered ancient ruins in the Endless Icefield and made a fortune from it, which has led to an influx of adventurers into the Endless Icefield.

"They really are a bunch of hyenas," Lily muttered under her breath, pursing her lips.

"Aren't most adventurers just driven by profit? They're doing it for a living, it's not shameful." During the time when Elise was going through so much, she became an adventurer quite a few times.

"Alright, you can all go do what you're supposed to do now."

Elise waved her hand casually, and the people quickly retreated, leaving only Elise and the other two in the blink of an eye.

The main reason she didn't teleport directly to the depths of the Endless Ice Plains this time was that she wanted to visit the town trapped in time.

They entered the town and waited for the blood moon to appear.

There are still three days until the Blood Moon arrives. With that time, we can take Lily and Sera to explore Amos and then visit the Forest of Sanctuary.

Elizabeth and her companions checked into Amos's largest hotel, and she also took the two of them on a leisurely tour of the city.

For Sera, who possesses Elise's memories, this place is nothing special; it's mainly Lily who is very curious about everything around her.

And Elise satisfied her curiosity.

The next day, Elise led her people away from Amos.

This time, Elise's team was very streamlined, not even a light elite squad, and there were two ninth-tier beings among them, so they traveled very fast. In less than half a day, the group arrived at the old site of the Shelter Forest.

From afar, the group could see a huge crater, as if a piece of the boundless earth had been forcibly dug out.

Lily looked at the huge pit with some melancholy. It used to be her home. If it weren't for Elise, it's hard to say what would have happened to her now.

Perhaps they died in that battle, or perhaps they are leading their people in search of a new home.

Just then, Lily suddenly felt someone pat her head, and she knew without a doubt that it was that rude Elise.

However, this time she didn't dodge, but said with some displeasure, "Don't you know that doing this to a lady is extremely rude?"

"I was just trying to comfort you."

"Can you control the smile on your face when you say things like that?"

She just didn't understand what was so special about touching her head. She didn't really get it, but since she was Elise's personal maid for the time being, she decided not to argue with her for now.

Although there's nothing left here, adventurers can still occasionally be seen wandering around.

After all, the outer area had experienced a major battle, and many people found some equipment and props left behind at that time, but of course, there were many more corpses.

"Let's go, there's nothing left to miss here."

"Then let's go to our resting place and spend the night there."

"it is good."

Elise originally wanted to go to the cave where she had met Elera before. Although the place was very hidden, it was discovered as more and more adventurers entered the Endless Ice Plains.

When they arrived nearby, they found two adventurer teams vying for the spot.

Elise did not intervene, but quietly led her people to another location. For Elise, who possessed the power of the earth, as long as she was on this land, she could create a dwelling that suited her wishes at any time.

After setting up the illusion barrier, Elise created a house directly on an empty plot of land, which players commonly refer to as a "matchbox".

"It really has no aesthetic appeal whatsoever."

"It's just a one-day stay, why are you being more particular than me?" Elise couldn't help but complain.

"Of course I don't care, I just thought that with your personality, you would build an exquisite building."

"Only a fool would waste time on something so temporary. You'd be better off using that time for something else." Sera, whose thought process was exactly the same as Elise's, calmly uttered what Elise was thinking.

While speaking, she also set up various magical devices around her, enjoying the process just like Iris.

"It looks like those two groups are fighting."

Although this place is some distance from the cave, both Lily and Sera have an amazing range of perception, so they naturally sensed what was happening in the distance.

Elise sat lazily in her chair and said casually, "It's normal for adventurers to have disagreements. Instead of worrying about that, let's think about what to eat tonight."

Hearing Elise's words, Lily tilted her head and asked curiously, "In this freezing cold, besides the dry rations we prepared beforehand, what else can we eat?"

"That depends on what you want to eat. With such a useful tool as a spatial ring, how could you not bring extra ingredients with you when you go out?"

“Coming to this freezing place is already a hardship, so we certainly can’t skimp on the food,” Sera added quietly from the side.

For her, who sees herself as Iris, it's okay to wrong others, but it's absolutely impossible to wrong herself.

Watching the two of them sing and respond in unison, Lily always felt that she was somewhat out of place among them.

Lily doesn't have any requirements when it comes to food, or rather, she just needs to follow Elise's lead. After all, Elise is very picky and probably won't skimp on food.

Taking advantage of the time, Lily asked curiously, "Where are you planning to go?"

"A place that only appears during a blood moon, a town trapped in time."

"Trapped in a town of time?"

Lily blinked. The Endless Ice Plains could be considered her hometown in some ways, and she really didn't know such a place existed.

Just then, Lily seemed to hear something, her pointed ears twitched, and she said, "The battle over there is over, and some people on one side have escaped."

"The rest of the people seem to be talking about the town that appears during the blood moon."

"Oh?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Elise's eyes, but she wasn't too surprised. After all, there were many adventurers on the Endless Ice Plains, so it wasn't strange that someone would discover the secret of that town.

"Those people said that the town might be hiding some secret, and this time they must dig it out."

Elise took out the Stone of Time: "This is the treasure of that town, a stone that can turn back time."

After saying that, Elise threw the stone directly to Lily.

At this moment, Lily could clearly feel the power of time flowing on this inconspicuous stone. Although it was very weak, anything involving time, no matter how weak, was precious.

"Aren't you afraid I'll pocket this?"

Don't ask such pointless questions.

Lily pursed her lips, casually returned the stone to Iris, and then asked curiously, "What's so special about that place?"

"You'll know when you go there."

“Okay, then let me ask you a different question. Do you know where my Lord sleeps?” A serious look appeared in Lily’s eyes.

She was eager to know the current location and state of the goddess of life.

“I know, He’s not in a good state right now, but it won’t be too bad for the time being. You don’t need to look for Him for now, since even if you find Him, you won’t be able to help.”

"You really do know everything," Lily muttered, then asked curiously, "So when exactly can you help?"

"We'll be able to help when we're able to kill a god."

Although Lily is a ninth-tier being, she never even considered killing a god. Even a god in a very poor state is not something a ninth-tier being can shake.

She had wanted to ask if such a thing was really possible, but seeing Elise's indifferent expression, and recalling how the other woman's tone had shown absolutely no respect for the gods when she spoke, she realized that...

Perhaps she really will find a way to do it later.

Thinking of this, Lily didn't ask any further questions.

While the group was talking, Elise had already prepared dinner.

Although she rarely cooks herself, after so many near-death experiences, she has mastered even the things she was least good at.

"Since we're out, we'll skip the plating and stuff; let's do it ourselves."

Lily took a bite out of curiosity, and then a look of surprise and enjoyment flashed in her eyes. She hadn't expected that Elise, this wicked woman, who usually seemed to do nothing, would be so surprisingly good at eating.

Sera also picked up her bowl and tasted the familiar flavor. She wanted to say that the dish tasted just like her own, but she couldn't say the words no matter what.

After a brief silence, Sera suddenly seemed like a different person, and a carefree smile bloomed on her face.

"The dishes you make still taste exactly the same as before."

"You're awake?" Hearing this voice and tone, Elise looked at Sera with some surprise.

As you can see, Sera no longer maintains Elise's appearance, but has reverted to her original form.

A hint of doubt flashed in Lily's eyes at this seemingly random conversation, but after seeing Sera's changed appearance, she quickly pieced together part of the truth from these fragments of conversation.

If she wasn't mistaken, this girl named Sera, for some reason, thought of herself as Elise, which is why she usually maintained the same appearance as Elise and even had the same way of doing things.

So, what exactly must one go through to make someone see themselves as another person?

"Maybe it's because your cooking was so delicious that it temporarily brought me back to my senses."

"If that's the case, can I prepare some homemade dishes in advance and feed you a little when it's time for you to appear?"

"What are you thinking? I was just about to wake up, so your cooking was just a little faster."

Elise glanced at Lily, but before she could say anything, Lily stood up with her bowl and said, "I'm going to the cave to hear what they're saying. You two continue."

After saying that, Lily turned into countless flower petals and disappeared into the wind.

Although Lily usually seems a bit dazed and innocent, she's actually quite adept at reading people and situations.

Elise chuckled softly, then said to Sera, "You should know why we've come to the Endless Ice Plains, right?"

“I have been to the deepest part of the Endless Ice Plains, but I did not find anything special there. Perhaps when I went there, the gods who were sleeping there had already left.”

"Anyway, as long as I'm here, you'll definitely be safe," Sera said confidently.

Volume 1: Chapter 428 Don't believe me? Ask Misha

"So you're really amazing~"

"Just kidding, I'm super awesome."

At times like this, only Sera and Elise can pull off this old trope.

Elise had forgotten how long it had been since anyone had picked up on her jokes. It seemed that sacrificing herself completely for Sera was a very wise choice.

Seeing the faint smile on Elise's face, Sera couldn't help but purse her lips. Because she possessed most of Elise's memories, she was also very clear about what Elise had gone through.

Once she's more lucid, she'll make those who hurt Elise understand what it means to regret it for the rest of your life!

For some unknown reason, a slightly sickly smile appeared on Sera's face, a smile that was exactly the same as the smile that Elise would show when she had her fits from time to time.

Perhaps sensing Elise's gaze and realizing her lapse in composure, Sera coughed twice and said, "Alright, enough joking. I can reassemble the shattered authority in a short time and display god-level power, so ensuring your and her safety is definitely not a problem."

"Using it might cause me to fall into a deeper state of sleep, and I might also become more insane, so if possible, it's best not to let me use that ability."

"Okay, I understand. Is there anything else you need to tell me?"

“I wanted to do something interesting with you, but unfortunately the current circumstances and time don’t allow it.” A hint of regret appeared on Sera’s face.

Elise twitched the corners of her mouth, not expecting the other party to suddenly say such a thing. However, after a moment of surprise, a joyful smile appeared on Elise's face: "Actually, if you want, you can have the time and the environment."

"Next time, she's already on her way back."

As Sera finished speaking, a morning dew flower bloomed at Elise's feet, and then Lily's voice came from the flower: "Are you done talking? It's so cold outside."

"We're done talking, you can come back now."
