Chapter 656 – A. A ? ─ The Princess Must Return to the Future
“Phew… I’m ready. Would you like to show me your pocket watch? Asmo?”
“All I’m doing is getting Ver’s pocket watch, but you two need to take a shower…”
Asmodeus, who was about to say another word, kept his mouth shut when Ceres glared lightly.
After having light sex to soothe Ceres’ mind, which was distressed by masturbation, the princess and Ceres took a clean shower and came out.
Asmodeus, who had no way of knowing the purpose of the pocket watch, couldn’t understand why they went to such lengths to prepare, but it was a natural thing for the two.
‘No matter how much this is sorted out, Venus going back to the future is a different story. You can’t send someone back with a strange smell after sex.’
The last thing she would remember was Ceres, who didn’t want to look disheveled after sex.
“Anyway, now… I wasn’t particularly interested in the lab, so it wasn’t that difficult to bring it.”
Asmodeus took out a platinum-colored dress and a pocket watch from a brown box and showed them.
“Are all my things really… Here?”
“At first, everyone showed great interest, but wow… As soon as they found out that it wasn’t what they wanted, they immediately told me to take it and throw it away.”
The princess smiled and took out the items in her box and started putting them on one by one.
As if it were natural, Ceres began dressing the princess in a dress and even calmly placed a pocket watch around her neck.
“What do you mean by the item you want? Is there something in particular that the demons are looking for?”
“It was an illusion that people came here from the ground. That’s why. If there was a secret tool or object that could come down from the ground to the underground, I expected that there would be a way to go back to the ground without wearing a suit or being interfered with by the protective shield. I did it.”
“Ha… I had such expectations, but I lost interest because all I got was a pocket watch and a dress?”
The princess pointed at her pocket watch with her finger. Even though there is magic here that allows time travel?
She asked Ceres silently.
“I told you. Everyone, including the others at the Old World Research Council, sees what they want to see. My mother is the same. She protects our race! What the hell! We talk, but in the end, we are the people of the earth. “I just hate you.”
“Kkeke, I think so too. I don’t know why I hate it so much.”
While listening to the two, the princess touched her pocket watch for a moment.
‘It’s good to go back to the future, but…’
The princess moans as she looks at Ceres carefully touching her porcelain dress.
‘I knew well that Ceres had a curse carved on her back by her mother. But that’s it. So what should I do?’
The princess was reminded of herself in the future.
She said, ‘She needs to know the secret to save Ceres, but… Ugh! It feels like I took a puzzle out of the sand and put it together without knowing how many pieces there are.’
As his future self said, he did indeed know the secret of Ceres, but the next problem was.
How on earth can we use this fact to save Ceres?
The princess had a complicated mind. So she couldn’t even predict where she would go in the future.
“Venus, your expression is very complicated. What’s going on?”
“Well… Haha, that’s it. Going back was good… But I didn’t know where to go from now on.”
Ceres smiled at the princess’s words.
“That’s right, it’s quite a difficult problem. You said my future self is dying, right?”
Since Asmodeus was away for a while, the two were able to talk comfortably.
“That’s right. It’s because my heart was seriously injured…”
“You said you postponed death for nearly eternity. If that’s the case… It’s simple.”
“Well, it’s simple? Did you just say it’s simple?”
“The technology to artificially create organs such as the heart, lungs, and liver is already common among us.”
The princess looked in great surprise at Ceres, who said that if she broke her plate, she could just put a new one in.
“Well, does that make any sense…”
“I’m not kidding. Venus, the technology to grow or print the necessary organs is so common among us. I’m sure my future self would have that kind of technology, right?”
Something went through the princess’s mind for a moment.
‘Hasn’t Hedone… Ever woken up feeling incredibly healthy? They say there is no way to cure it… So, of course… If it was Ceres who cured it…’
The way to cure Ceres was within Ceres himself from the beginning.
As soon as the princess realized that fact, she looked incredibly dumbfounded and burst into laughter.
“Then why on earth should I go on this trip…”
“That’s not true, Venus. Am I not a fool? If my future self had such power, I would have prepared plenty of defense measures to prevent others from using it carelessly.”
Calmly, Ceres speaks her words and takes her hand and strokes it.
“And, you said I’ve been serving you for a long time, right?”
“There is someone who served me… I see. It looks like he has been living on earth for quite some time.”
“Then this trip is not meaningless. I guess… I guess I did something similar to what I experienced today and was exiled from the underground.”
Ceres continues his speech calmly.
“If that’s the case, the same curse as the one I have now will definitely be engraved on my back. Even if you heal me, no one knows what will happen because of this curse. Even after you cure me, you may continue to kill humans as your mother wishes.”
“Do you mean that I have to treat you, including that?”
“I think so. Hmm… But it’s difficult. I honestly can’t figure out what the curse engraved on my back is… And what the principle is…”
Ceres, who had been speaking calmly, suddenly grabbed his head with his hands.
“Guess… Ah, ugh… Ah…”
“Ceres? Asmodeus! Ceres’s condition is strange!”
As soon as the princess shouted, Asmodeus, who had entered the bathroom, quickly came out.
“What, what have you done, prisoner! Beren… Wait, w-what is this? An extremely dangerous light is emanating from his back…!”
─Boo!
It happened in an instant.
As soon as her horns sprouted from Ceres’ head, she grabbed Asmodeus, shaking him by the shoulders, and threw him away.
“Ugh!! Ugh, crazy… Ah, it hurts…”
Asmodeus coughed blood from his mouth. The princess took a step back in surprise and placed her hand on her pocket watch.
“Ah, Venus… Ah, ahhh…!!”
Radiating bright red light from his body, Ceres clung to the princess at a frightening speed.
“Ugh…! Damn it!”
The princess, who was instantly placed in a mounted position, was unable to place her hands on her pocket watch.
Ceres’ entire body was trembling, but she was pressing her arms tightly with her thighs, and was trembling with her hands and bringing them to the princess’s neck.
─Jiying
『My beloved daughter. You have returned to Pandemonium. Her mother is happy.』
“Ugh, ugh… Damn it!”
What Ceres was worried about happened. A woman covering her entire body with a pitch-black cloth shamelessly appeared in her room as a hologram.
‘Even the tools the demons threw on the ground… Ugh! Are you saying there’s no need for it here?!’
The princess strengthened her lower body to somehow shake off Ceres’ body, but it was not easy.
『I feel a strange power from that being. Daughter, my beloved daughter.』
“Ah… Ah… Ugh…”
『I will give her a chance to make her mother happy. Kill the being by strangling her with both her hands. I need to check what changes have occurred on the ground.』
At her mother’s whisper, Ceres began to shake her hands and press them against the princess’s neck.
“Ah… Ah, poetry… I don’t like it… Ah, no…”
“Ugh… Ugh…!!!”
Can the princess escape from Ceres, who is strangling her using all her body’s strength?
It was impossible. Her bright red magic power was radiating out, and she was so strong.
“Don’t make Vere do something stupid…!!”
Asmodeus screamed and threw his body towards Ceres. Pow! With a dull sound, Ceres was forced off the princess’s body and rolled around on the floor.
“Are you telling me to kill someone I love?! Are you crazy!!”
The moment she screamed, Ceres rolled onto the ground and grabbed Asmodeus by the neck with incredible force. And then he threw her against the wall with a terrible force, as if he were throwing her laundry.
─Kagagagak!
The wall was shattered and a cloud of white dust rose up.
“Ha, ah…! Ah, ah…!”
Ceres trembles, spitting out blood from her mouth.
『You have eliminated the obstructionist. Well done my daughter.』
“Ha… Ah, Asmo… Ah, no… Ah…”
『You’re a very common type A, right? Don’t worry, I’ll make the same thing for my daughter if she wants.』
“Uh, mom… Ah…”
Ceres’ entire body trembles, and he clutches his head with both hands.
『Our beloved daughter.』
Ceres trudged over to her and roughly grabbed the princess’s hand as she tried to grab her pocket watch.
『Finish the hunting as mom wishes.』
“Ugh… Ugh! Ta, you’re encouraging her daughter to commit murder…!”
The princess trembled and tried to fight with Ceres, but their strength was similar enough to give her goosebumps.
『You are truly a proud daughter. Be the daughter who fully deserves her mother’s love. We will soon be able to regain the great power of humanity.』
“Haaa… Haaa… Haaa…”
『You will once again have in your hands the power to create heaven and earth and become equal to the old gods. We can finally get revenge!』
Ceres, who shed tears and vomited blood from her mouth, smiled very faintly.
“If I… Kill Venus… And bring you this body… So that I can dissect it… Ha, will you love me?”
『That’s right. Our beloved daughter. Do you want to do that?』
Ceres smiles and shakes her arms as she hears her mother’s voice.
Her bright red blood-stained hands slowly fall from the princess’s pure white wrist.
“Ha, haha… As expected, your mother doesn’t know.”
『Dear daughter…』
“The most powerful force in humans is love…”
With purple light emanating from his back, Ceres grabbed his horn with both hands. She wakes up from the princess’s body, her whole body shaking.
“It’s not the revenge your mother is talking about…!”
『My beloved daughter, you know nothing. With what kind of heart did this mother spend tens of thousands of years? 』
Ignoring her mother’s voice coming from behind her, Ceres looks at the princess.
This was the end of the time she could make.
A bright red light began to envelope her body again, and the sound of people’s footsteps could be heard beyond the shattered wall and the sound of a steel door that had been tightly closed being forced open.
The only chance for the princess to return to the future is now, and it was Ceres who created that moment.
“Ceres…!”
“Show me… I’m begging you…!”
Ceres bends her knees, her whole body shaking. The bright red light tried to grab the princess’s ankle by moving her hand, but Ceres resisted.
In order not to get the power of revenge that her mother so desperately wanted, she worked hard to show how great her love was.
“Go back…! To the future!! Go back! Anywhere is fine!! So… Quickly…!!!”
The moment she saw Ceres shouting with her eyes bright red, the princess adjusted her pocket watch with all her might.
─Jiiiiing
In an instant, the space was twisted and the princess’s body disappeared.
“Ha, haha… Ha, haha… Mom… I won. Look…”
Ceres looked up at her mother, her bloody tears dripping.
『Time travel… In the end, everything you did became meaningless. Daughter.』
“No, Venus… The Venus I love saw everything and accepted my love.”
『The words are truly disgusting and sentimental.』
The image of her mother, looking at her daughter like a disgusting insect, was blown away like her sand.
“Venus… You must be…”
Ceres’ body, which raised the corner of her mouth and spewed out bright red blood, disappeared like sand, just like her mother.
