Chapter 755: Stop Trying to Hurt Yourself

Girls like this really had too strong a sense of responsibility. They might not be easy to get close to at first, but once you managed to walk into their hearts and earn their genuine recognition, then you would have a good loli who would never betray you, who might be somewhat indifferent to you on normal days, but who would stand unhesitatingly by your side when you fell into trouble and share your burdens!

The girl remained silent, not saying a word.

She simply dragged her chains as she stood up, as if she hadn't heard Lynn's voice at all, and continued walking alone toward the depths of the dark hall.

Seeing this, Lynn smiled helplessly, immediately cracked his ankle joint back into place with a series of pops, and quickly followed, catching up to walk beside her.

"What are you doing here?"

The girl stared straight ahead, her eyes not even moving.

Lynn rested his hands behind his head, walking alongside her with a bored expression, then rubbed his chin and said, "Isn't it because the divine power you used triggered the Colossus's Heart's alarm mechanism? Every time you set it off, my heart gives a painful throb. So how could I not come over? Who knows if you're doing something thoughtless again, hm?"

The girl stopped.

She gave him a cold glare.

Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that her relationship with this guy wasn't exactly bad, back in the old days, just for that offensive remark alone, she would have already ordered someone to drag him off and hang him.

After all, she had always been extremely cruel toward outsiders.

"Hmph."

She raised her chin, maintaining an expression as calm as still water, and acted as if she hadn't seen him at all, continuing to walk ahead alone.

Completely refusing to acknowledge him.

But Lynn didn't seem to mind at all. He quickly caught up again while casually surveying their surroundings, saying:

"I didn't expect there to be such a large space beneath the pillar where you were sleeping. Is this where your former Affiliated Race used to offer sacrifices to you? I have to say, this scale really matches your status. If this hadn't been abandoned, it would rival a helipad."

The girl remained expressionless, acting as if she hadn't heard his words at all.

"By the way, you still haven't told me what's going on with this city. Is this really your city? But weren't you asleep all that time? How did you manage to gather such a large group of Affiliated Race anyway?"

Lynn glanced at her delicate profile, making conversation just for the sake of talking.

The girl's expression remained calm. She raised her fair neck, gazing at the vast darkness ahead, the veins on her temples twitching slightly, clearly not wanting to talk to him.

She paused.

Then strode forward.

Her pace was noticeably faster than before.

As if trying to shake off chewing gum stuck to her, the chains dragging on the ground clattered loudly.

But Lynn just took a slightly longer stride and caught right up!

"Are all your favored ones humanoid creatures too? What race are they? Are there any humans?"

"I'm curious whether they know what kind of god you are. Have they ever seen your true form? After all, you've probably been asleep most of the time, so you probably didn't have time to pay attention to them."

"Do they know you're a blob of brain?"

Clank—

The long chains dragging behind came to a halt.

A large "╬" appeared above her head. The girl closed her eyes, her delicate little hand already clenching with audible cracks, her gaze sharp enough to kill, her chest faintly rising and falling as she looked at the curious, endlessly chattering guy beside her, clearly reaching the very limits of her patience.

Then she shot Lynn a murderous "say one more word and I'll kill you" look, letting him interpret that on his own.

It hardened!

Her fist was already rock-hard!

So annoying!

Lynn immediately took the hint with a (￣▽￣)／ expression and said:

"I only wanted to chat with you because I was worried you'd be bored. Of course, if you don't want to answer, then I won't ask anymore. It's no big deal. If you're not convinced, I can swear an oath. If I say one more unnecessary word, I'll die a horrible death. Does that work?"

The girl finally took a deep, forceful breath.

Struggling to suppress the urge to beat this guy to death, she tried to calm her heaving chest.

She resolved to ignore him.

She strode forward.

But just as she took barely half a step.

"They probably don't know your true form is a blob of brain, right?"

Boom—

A blazing flame instantly erupted above the girl's head.

"..."

A brief, ghostly silence.

Lynn froze, eyes wide, staring at her back which was now billowing with flames. He tentatively reached out a hand, poked her shoulder, swallowed his saliva, and said:

"Um... are you okay? I really didn't mean to be nosy, I just..."

But before he could finish.

Slap—

A small hand suddenly grabbed the hand he had placed on her shoulder.

Lynn (((;꒪ꈊ꒪;)))!

A huge "DANGER" instantly appeared above Lynn's head.

And in the very next instant.

That slender little hand gripped his wrist tightly, and with a sudden burst of force, Lynn's body spun (ΩДΩ) in a three-hundred-sixty-degree Thomas rotation, and he was directly yanked from behind and slammed in front of her.

Then he immediately saw those eyes burning with blazing, mortified fury.

Lynn panicked and shouted, "Let's talk this out! I really didn't mean to..."

But it was already too late.

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM—

Amidst a series of violent stomping sounds, Lynn's agonized screams instantly shattered the tranquility of the entire hall.

And if one were to look from a distance, they would clearly see a girl wreathed in flames, clenching her fists, lifting her foot with utmost fury, and furiously stomping again and again on the humanoid creature on the ground.

Meanwhile, Lynn's ears were filled with a constant stream of system notifications.

[Ding! The Colossus's Brain feels delighted by assaulting you +1]

[Ding! The Colossus's Brain feels delighted by assaulting you +2]

[Ding! The Colossus's Brain feels delighted by assaulting you +3]

She stomped on him for a full ten minutes.

The girl was still breathing heavily with anger, hands on her hips, looking down at the guy on the ground who was o(x﹏x)o and nearly stomped flat. Only then did she reluctantly withdraw her foot.

It really had been several thousand years since she'd wanted to beat someone this badly.

If it were the old days, she definitely wouldn't have stooped to personally acting with such a lack of class, after all, she was the exalted King!

But anyway, it was just the two of them right now.

No one was watching.

Beating him up to vent some frustration wouldn't get out anyway!

And this despicable guy, after she'd already said she couldn't stand it anymore, he just kept going on and on. You're the blob of brain, your whole family is a blob of brain!

Die already!

As if still not satisfied, the furious girl stepped forward and delivered one more heavy stomp before finally stopping.

...

In the distance.

The wisp of blood wind that had followed Lynn in, floating subtly in the shadows and observing furtively, was completely (；OДO).

"D-d... domestic violence..."

If there had been any doubt requiring further observation just now.

Then this was an absolute confirmed case.

After all, in the few memories of flesh-and-blood creatures they had devoured, the Mother Goddess was the one who gave birth to them, and the Father God was the one who provided a little funding and supplies.

And through these dozen or so minutes of observation, they could clearly detect the vast flesh-and-blood power within that girl's body, power so overwhelming it suffocated them, power that followed the same path as their own. By comparison, Mother didn't actually have that much.

This... this must undoubtedly be their long-awaited Father God!

Instantly, the entire race erupted once again into intense agitation and internal strife.

...

Leaving that chaos aside.

On the other side, Lynn, who had just taken a beating, sat up stiffly from the ground. He slowly moved his five fingers away from his face, revealing his serious expression, while his other hand that had been guarding his crotch had perfectly and precisely protected his vital area, without taking a single bit of damage.

The corner of his mouth curled with a sly smirk.

That's right.

This was a man's proper cultivation.

When getting beaten, you don't have to fight back, but you absolutely must protect your handsome face and guard the family jewels that you rely on to survive.

As long as you could carve this good habit into your bones.

Then even in a battered, bruised state, you could still chat and laugh with ease, standing tall and unbowed.

"Feel better after that beating, Brain?"

Lynn sat cross-legged and joked as if nothing had happened, adjusting his shattered monocle.

The girl instantly became furious again.

This guy!

Clearly, he still hadn't felt the pain!

Without a second thought.

Her delicate fist, as if still unsatisfied, swung once again toward Lynn's forehead.

But this time, Lynn didn't dodge like before. Instead, he leaned back, reached out, and grabbed her slender wrist. Due to inertia, the girl's legs lost their balance, and her body, in surprise, tumbled forward and fell against Lynn's body.

Their bodies made heavy contact.

Furious and embarrassed, the girl struggled to break free from his grip to teach him another lesson.

But at that moment, Lynn's voice gently sounded by her ear.

"That's why I said don't keep all your emotions bottled up inside. Now that you've let it all out, doesn't it feel much better?"

She suddenly froze, her hand that was about to break free stopping as well.

As if trying to confirm something, she raised her head in a daze and looked at his face.

He simply gazed at her warmly, his eyes gentle.

Like someone who didn't want to see her suffer, who wanted to pull her out of that shadow, and who kept making continuous efforts to do so...

"So that's why I say, let the past be the past."

"Don't think about it anymore, because sometimes guilt is useless. All we can do is live well. Only by doing so can we do justice to those who died for you, and can their souls find peace... isn't that right?"

"So if letting me take another beating makes you feel better, I don't mind letting you punch me a few more times."

"But I hope this time you can listen to me once more..."

He reached out and embraced her body, whispering softly by her ear:

"Stop trying to hurt yourself."
