Fallen Chronicles

Chapter 189 Chapter 189: I Was His First! ?

If Renji had previously thought that Suthia’s corruption in the Dream was exaggerated, a deliberate act by the dark-skinned elf behind the scenes, now he was shaken.

Regarding the Dream’s ability to reconstruct characters’ past experiences in the form of a “dream within a dream,” Renji had no doubts about its authenticity. After all, Zero had used a similar “data reshaping” ability at the Sea Sand Bar, reproducing everything that had happened there.

As long as there was sufficient data collected, matched with the necessary computing power, both the past and the future could be extrapolated by intelligent machinery.

Renji initially re-entered the Dream just intending to find a bit of information about Suthia. Now, he found it hard to imagine her current mental state.

Seemingly sensing Renji’s need, the assisting maid quickly operated, and in the next moment, Renji instantly shifted from a god-like perspective to the first person.

[Attentive. I have switched to the dream-viewing mode for Master. In this mode, not only can Master experience the Dream from Suthia’s perspective, but also listen to her inner thoughts]

Synchronizing the first-person view with the protagonist’s senses provides users with an immersive experience of personally living through the events. This is why the Dream is the most popular and exciting entertainment product of the Mechanical Alliance.

And now, the maid’s V-type Dream was obviously more powerful. Renji could sense all kinds of emotions from Suthia, and even listen to the nun’s inner monologues.

From the initial relief and joy when the crystal ball was first sent to Suthia.

[If they had time to send something, does it mean the Dragon Nation’s matter is over? That’s great!]

[Lord Ashen and Sister Nova are still thinking of me, I’m so happy!]

[Eh? There are so many encryption restrictions inside. Did Sister Nova do these sealing spells? So Sister Nova has also progressed in spellcasting. I… I must also work hard! I can’t be left behind!]

[Like this, then like that, huh! It’s open! Really looking forward to it, what’s inside?]

To the confusion and bewilderment that followed as the images unfolded, until she finally realized what they were.

[What is this?]

[Sister Nova and Lord Ashen? What are they doing?]

[Wait, wait a minute! Sister Nova, why would you take your clothes off? even My Lord!? They couldn’t be… No! Impossible! Sister Nova is such an emotional fool, she should be the last one to…]

Uh.

Well, Renji didn’t expect Suthia to see Nova in such a way deep down.

[It’s okay, didn’t I also resolve to help Sister Nova? Now that Sister Nova has taken care of it herself, I should be happy! Yes, I need to… I need to be happy for Sister Nova. Happy.Ha…]

[Besides, I was My Lord’s first, and the first is always the most memorable, the most unforgettable. So even if Sister Nova catches up, it definitely won’t shake my position in Lord Ashen’s heart!]

Under several deep breaths and self-comforting, Suthia’s emotions miraculously stabilized.

It was evident that the renewed contract really worked, and the effect of purging impurities in the Confession Room was significant. Otherwise, the initial Suthia might have completely lost control.

‘Just like that, keep going, Thia!’

Unfortunately, Renji’s encouragement couldn’t reach her, and the situation, which had just begun to improve, took a sudden turn for the worse. 𝒍𝓲𝓫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝙤𝒎

[But why did Sister Nova specifically send me… this kind of thing?]

[Does she know about what happened between me and Lord Ashen before, that I deceived her using the Alliance? Is this her way of getting back at me?]

[No, no, no! Sister Nova isn’t like that, it must have been sent by mistake, there must be some misunderstanding.]

Just as Suthia thought this, the creator of the film, as if seizing the nun’s thoughts, quickly transitioned to a few classic ‘edited segments’, including but not limited to:

“Lord Ashen, Thia won’t get angry, right?”

“Since we’re pursuing excitement, let’s go all the way!”

“Of course, it’s you!”

“I’m sorry, Thia, but why… I can’t control my body, I don’t want this, but…”

“Give me Thia’s share as well! Masterrr~!”

With the emergence of these clips, all of Thia’s previous self-consolations vanished.

[What about the first time being the most unforgettable? What about being the first one? When Lord Ashen was with Nova, where was I in his eyes? Not even a bit!]

Suthia, kneeling on the ground, let her head hang down weakly, her bangs covering half of her face, her hands tightly clutching her skirt.

[Why… Why did it turn out like this?]

[After finally finding My Lord again after five hundred years, after reconciling with Sister Nova in the sealed city, the first time I truly opened my heart to Sister Nova, the first time we established our alliance… such happy and joyous occasions, but why… why did it turn out like this when combined…]

[It was… It was me who was his first!]

[Kissing or hugging, and even Lord Ashen’ first time, it was all with me! I was the first!]

From the first-person perspective, Renji could clearly sense that Thia was not merely angry but in a state of struggle. On one side, there was her best comrade, Nova, whom she regarded as family and a sister, and on the other, she had to watch Nova gradually take her Lord away from her.

The intertwining of these complex emotions seemed to cause some kind of chemical reaction, and suddenly, Renji felt that Suthia started to… become off.

Specifically, although Suthia previously didn’t want to see those video or hear those voices, now her eyes were fixed on them more and more intently.

Subsequently, the nun’s breathing also began to hasten.

Suthia’s eyes, previously filled with various emotions like anger, confusion, struggle, and perplexity, now seemed to be completely overtaken by another, more intense emotion, her cheeks flushing red.

Nova was someone she liked, and so was her lord.

The inevitable had happened, and she couldn’t stop it.

To calm herself and to prevent “the evil her” from emerging again, Suthia chose not to fall into powerless rage and corruption. Instead, Suthia chose to stay in dark… then decided to consider other things.

It’s just that people tend to avoid things that are hard to think about or that they don’t want to think about, and Suthia was clearly doing so.

She start to intensely watch the video and her delicate white finger start to move between her thighs,

[Ahhhh~ My Lord… You are so..]

At this point, Renji hurriedly asked the maid to switch the perspective back.

This was not suitable for first-person viewing anymore. (Skip)

Fast-forwarding through the Dream, it took a full hour before a neatly dressed Suthia walked out of the Confession Room. This undoubtedly surprised and unsettled the high echelons of the Holy Church, as it was the first time their goddess had revealed her true form.

It was clear that the reward was indeed effective, and the sage time was not just for men.

Afterward, Suthia appeared normal in demeanor and tone. She briefly explained to her church members that she needed to temporarily leave for the Dragon Nation. Then, under Maria’s arrangements, she got a private jet in less than ten minutes. After being endowed with “optimized” holy light by Suthia, it sped towards the Dragon Nation at several times the usual speed.

With that, Suthia’s Dream came to a complete end.

Renji: “…”

“86, is this Dream… accurate?” Renji couldn’t help but doubt due to its abstract nature.

The maid’s response was swift.

[Responding to Master, according to the database analysis from ‘Zero’, during the five hundred years of your absence, Lady Suthia, due to her near-obsessive yearning and love for you, was the most frequent in ‘self-relief’ among the five ladies. This was because only by this means could the goddess alleviate her inner repression and pain, obtaining temporary peace. Incidentally, the second on the ‘self-relief’ leaderboard is Lady Lena, and the third is…]

“Stop! Stop, stop! Enough!!” Renji, his face drawn in frustration, directly interrupted the maid.

‘A self-relief leaderboard from a deity!?’

Renji really wanted to know what state Zero was in during these five hundred years to come up with such a bizarre ranking. Having gathered enough information from the Dream, Renji confirmed Suthia’s current status. The bad news was that the nun was indeed on her way to him, but the good news seemed to be that Suthia had calmed down a bit after some ‘self-relief’ before coming…

Renji: “…”

“Damn it!”

Afterward, Renji instructed 86 to exit the Dream. He made minor preparations to be intercepted by the dark-skinned elf into the Miasma space, like last time. However, as the scene flashed white and he felt an ascending sensation, Renji opened his eyes to find himself back in the city hall.

As usual, Renji first called over Eileen, then ignored the girl’s protests and conducted a plug-and-play experiment with the Miasma Touch on her to confirm his return to reality. Only then did he feel completely at ease.

Just to be safe, Renji declared a holiday for the entire city hall and the sealed city under the guise of celebrating the curse’s removal, emptying the city hall of personnel and refusing all affairs for the day.

As an informed party, the maid was sent by Renji to send away others around him, taking Eileen and Ashe next door. After all, they wouldn’t be much help and would only provide Suthia with easy targets.

Finally, Renji returned to Nova’s room. Seeing her lying in bed, blinking at him as he had planned, Renji felt ready for everything.

This was ‘his battlefield’, the place of his decisive victory. The outcome of tonight’s battle would determine everything!
