Accompanied by that series of clattering system notifications ringing in his ears.

Lynn paid them no mind at all.

Because he had long since developed the old-dog-like composure of a man who could face any slander the System threw at him with an unchanged expression and complete equanimity.

And his gaze wasn't on those notifications either.

Hearing that soft "Mm..." he finally allowed a relaxed smile to bloom on his face, and he wouldn't say anything more. Though the System kept disparaging his morality, he knew that even if there might be a tiny sliver of other ulterior motives attached, what conflict did that really pose?

Because after all, just like Zuo Zuo, she too was an adorable loli... girl, crafted by his own hands.

So how could he bear to see her wronged?

After all, only the girls he personally created were truly the apples of his eye!

And he would definitely keep his promise. Even without the System's quest rewards, he would surely avenge this girl, because Lynn hadn't forgotten that the Flesh and Blood Dominator also posed a massive threat to the Earth he so longed for.

Not to mention.

There was also the blood-deep enmity between him and that being. That conflict was absolutely impossible to reconcile by any means!

Lynn's gaze narrowed, and the thought of killing that Root-level entity grew heavier and heavier in his heart.

He instinctively moved to adjust his monocle.

But just as he raised his hand, because he was standing so close to the girl in front of him, the back of his hand inadvertently brushed across her smooth spine, and through the whisper of her hair strands, he clearly felt the astonishing curve.

The girl trembled slightly.

And Lynn instantly snapped back to reality, staring blankly at the face of the girl still silently kneeling before him beneath that forehead of hers.

Her small hands were crossed on her lap, her knees pressed together as she sat. Beneath her long lashes, only a trace of dazed, absent eyes peeked out. Her head was slightly bowed, and her long silver hair cascaded down over her petite body like a waterfall, beautiful beyond the realm of the real.

Clearly a fallen Root-level being, yet stripped by him into something so fragile and helpless-looking.

Because she was kneeling before him, and her body was so small and slender, it looked as though she were completely enveloped by Lynn.

Lynn's gaze froze on her cheeks.

Although...

Although he really didn't want to admit it...

Although it really did go against his moral code...

But... the atmosphere had already been built up to this point... if he didn't go with the flow and do something, then no matter how he thought about it, it would seem utterly unreasonable.

After all, once her rationality took over as the dominant force, trying to deepen their bond then would be more than a little difficult.

Not to mention, it was pitch dark, just a lone man and a loli, and the mood had risen to such a point...

So...

Should he take this opportunity to elevate his relationship with Colossus's Brain just a little further?

Like going from family... to true family, for instance...

Lynn was getting ideas!

In the vast darkness and silence, Lynn could even clearly hear his own breathing and heartbeat. Gazing at the silent girl before him, his hand moved slowly, inch by inch, gently wrapping around her slender waist.

The moment he made contact, he could clearly feel her tremble.

Her lashes fluttered slightly, but she didn't speak to stop him, nor did she make any other reaction. She simply continued to bow her head silently, sitting slender and still before him.

[Ding! Your lewdness +10]

[Ding! Your lewdness +21]

[Ding! Your lewdness +52]

A string of system notifications showcased Lynn's psychological shifts at this very moment.

She didn't refuse.

Roughly translated, that meant.

No refusal = her mind is completely empty = she neither expects nor resists = she acquiesces = she fully agrees!

And this at least proved that right now was truly the best opportunity to completely conquer this adorable loli. And as a man, as a normal man, who wouldn't want to further deepen that blazing affection with a delicate girl with whom he'd just established a good relationship?

Not to mention, she was so pure.

Lynn's gaze grew increasingly fervent, and because his forehead was pressed against hers, he could clearly see every subtle change in her expression up close, see those cherry-like lips slightly parted, so enticing.

So...

Should he really go further...

Finally, in that vast darkness, in this temple that belonged to her alone, under the hollow gaze of those broken skulls' empty eye sockets, he was ready to take advantage of the deity they had worshipped in life.

Wasn't this also a tremendous form of desecration...

Finally, he slowly lowered his head, gently pressing his lips toward the girl's mouth.
