Vivian knew exactly who Elise was talking about, and after nodding, she continued, "Your previous advertisement was very well done, and now the sales of the costume ring are quite good."
"Don't sell too much at once, or the goods will become worthless."
Flora's costume rings have special magical circuits set up by her; forcibly disassembling them will instantly destroy the magical circuits within.
"I don't need you to teach me how to do business."
“Yes, yes, my Vivian is the best.” Elise walked to Vivian’s side and reached out to ruffle her hair.
Vivian didn't mind. She knew that Elise would fix her hair soon, which might lead to a different hairstyle.
Just then, the little maid who had just left emerged from Elise's shadow again: "Miss, Miss Elira and Miss Hattie are here to see you."
"Just let them come directly to the garden."
"Yes."
Soon after, Elira and Hattie also entered the garden.
Upon seeing the two people beside Elise, Elera, whose expression had been relatively relaxed, instantly froze, as if she had seen a ghost.

"It's been a long time, Miss Elira and Miss Hattie."
Iris smiled at the two people who entered the garden, then turned her gaze to Elira, whose expression was somewhat stiff.
Iris recognized that expression all too well; it was just like the first time Elira bumped into her and her group.
Elise's voice reminded Elira, who tried to compose herself and nodded, "Yes, it's been almost a day since we last met, that's quite a long time."
Vivian looked at the blue-haired girl named Elaira. She was familiar with the name; Elise had previously asked her to investigate Elaira's information, so she naturally had all the information about her as well.
She was curious: what exactly did Elise want from Elira? Was there anything special about her?
Feeling Vivian's gaze, Elira broke out in a cold sweat. Why was this tyrant with Elise?
And who will the immortal one choose to follow this time, the witch who will destroy the world?
Or did she give up on making a choice?
Vivian's observation skills were incredibly sharp; she immediately noticed the fear in Elira's eyes as she looked at her, which was quite interesting.
It's worth noting that Elira had never even met her, yet she gave her that kind of expression. It's worth taking some time to investigate, but not now.
Elira and Hattie were invited by Iris, of course, while that prince was still alive. Otherwise, once he died, the two of them would probably leave the empire immediately.
"Miss Elise, where is Little White?" Hattie looked around curiously, trying to find Little White.
"Xiaobai is sleeping in my room. You can have Misha take you there."
"Really? Then I'll definitely go."
Then Hattie left Elira there again.
This put even more pressure on Elira, who was already drenched in sweat.
One is a tyrant who destroys the world, and the other is an immortal being who can live until the world is destroyed. Moreover, both of them have had affairs with the witch who destroys the world.
You know, if these two girls had no connection with the ultimate witch who destroys the world, it wouldn't be a big deal. But if they were involved with the witch who destroys the world, it would be extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, the world-destroying witch is still alive. As long as she's alive, it's alright. If she were dead...
Adding to the list of those people from before, she didn't even dare to think about what might happen.
"I have something to discuss with Miss Elira. You two can rest for a bit; it shouldn't take long." With that, Iris pulled Elira towards the reception room.
Elira could clearly feel that the moment Elise grabbed her hand, the tyrant and the immortal's gaze fell on her, which gave her a chill down her spine.
Actually, she really wanted Elise to keep a little distance from her, but based on her limited understanding of Elise, if she said that, this somewhat wicked world-destroying witch would probably pounce into her arms.
She didn't dare to think about what would happen if that happened.
If she had known it would turn out like this, she wouldn't have come.
But it's too late to think about these things now.
Before long, the two arrived at the reception room, where Rumia, dressed in a maid outfit, quickly poured tea for them.
Elira had relaxed a bit after leaving the two people's sight, but her expression immediately tensed up when she saw Rumia dressed in a maid outfit.
Why is the missing Eternal Saintess here? She's even behaving like a maid.
She felt like she had seen something she shouldn't have, and she didn't know if Elise would kill her.
After Rumia left, Iris said with interest, "You seem to be able to ignore Rumia's disguise."
Of course, Rumia wouldn't just appear here so casually. She was disguised using her Holy Face. Generally speaking, even a seventh-tier being wouldn't be able to see through her disguise. But Iris noticed from Elaira's behavior that the other party must have seen through Rumia's disguise.
“My eyes can see through most illusions,” Elira explained softly. It was an ability she gained after a rebirth, which she had inherited to this day.
"I think I've figured it out."
Elise guessed that her charms were ineffective against her, probably for similar reasons.
"Um, if I were to say now that I didn't see anything just now, would you believe me?"
"Guess~"
Iris looked at Elira with a smile and said meaningfully, "Now that you've seen something you shouldn't have, what am I supposed to do with you?"
For some reason, when Elise said those words, Elira knew that she was probably out of danger.
If Elise really wanted to kill him to silence him, she should be dead by now.
As she breathed a sigh of relief, she asked softly, "Um, Miss Elise, is there something you need from me?"
"Judging from your behavior in the garden just now, you should know those two people, right?"
"Well, one is a tyrant who will destroy the world, and the other is an immortal who can live until the world is destroyed."
"tyrant?"
Elise blinked. Based on her understanding of Vivian, she thought, "No matter what, she wouldn't become a tyrant, would she?"
As if sensing Elise's thoughts, Elira whispered, "After you died, Her Majesty Vivian launched a war to rule the world."
"Huh? Doesn't anyone around her object?"
“Yes, but those who dared to oppose me are all dead.” As if recalling that terrifying period, Elira suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
Seeing Elizabeth's loving and curious expression, she hesitated for a moment before finally recounting that time to Elizabeth.
After Elise's death, Vivian consolidated her power and began a major purge.
Those who proposed or supported Elise's execution were all dealt with by her.
After dealing with these people, Vivian began to use the information left behind by Elise to control many ancient legacies, even enslaving the gods, and launching a war that swept across the entire continent.
The kingdom and the holy kingdom united, but were ultimately conquered under the iron heel of the empire.
After completing her reign, Vivian began to use the power of the entire nation to seek a way to bring the dead back to life, but ultimately failed.
"Does my aftereffects really have that much power?" Elise touched her cheek, her eyes filled with twisted excitement.
Seeing Elise's reaction, Elira twitched the corner of her mouth. This person's mind must be twisted, right? Why is she getting excited while listening to this?
"It wasn't over yet. At that time, Her Majesty Vivian had already gone mad. She directly ordered the restart of the artificial god project, consolidated the empire's faith, and sacrificed more than a dozen gods, ultimately creating an extremely twisted monster."
She still remembered the day a terrifying being, exactly like Elise, was created—incomparably beautiful, incomparably twisted, and incomparably powerful.
Whether it was influenced by that memory or not, even Elira's gaze towards Iris held a touch of fanaticism.
"and then?"
"And then that was it. I died there, as the Empire's chief archmage."
Volume 1: Chapter 298 - Just Thinking About It Is Exciting
Elira forcibly suppressed her surging, twisted emotions. Every time she recalled that memory, she felt her mind was greatly affected.
Just now, she even had the urge to become a fanatical follower of Elise. She didn't know if it was because the divine descent in that memory was too shocking, or if the influence of the divine descent on her had never disappeared.
Fortunately, as long as I don't stay by Elise's side all the time, there shouldn't be any problems.
perhaps.
"That was an evil god created by Vivian, so you can't blame my death on you."
Elira twitched the corner of her mouth. Everything started because of Elise's death, which led to the beginning of the world's destruction. However, just as Elise said, the artificial evil god was not Elise.
Iris probably won't turn out like that... right?
She really couldn't imagine what this world-destroying witch would do.
"Alright, now tell me about Theresa. Do you really know what happened between us?" Iris asked curiously, while also wondering what kind of identity Elira had at that time.
"My identity during that rebirth was that of a cursed person."
The Cursed People are Theresa's people, who have been living in the Cursed Fertile Land. Every member of the Cursed People is born with a curse and cannot leave the Cursed Fertile Land.
The longer you stay in that place, the more curses you accumulate. Thirty years old is considered old for a cursed person.
It was during that rebirth that Elira learned about the Cursed Fertile Land. She had already been reborn there, so it was no different from being dead.
However, she did not expect that Theresa would eventually bring Elise back to the Cursed Fertile Land.
They even ventured together into the depths of the Cursed Fertile Land to resolve the root of the problem, but only Theresa returned from the depths of the Cursed Fertile Land that time.
At that time, Theresa's eyes were empty and desperate. After returning to her tribe and explaining some things, she left and never appeared again.
Upon hearing this, Elise tilted her head slightly: "That's it?"
“It’s not over yet.” Elira rolled her eyes at Elise, then continued, “Although I don’t know where she went, she was, after all, someone who accompanied you, the witch of destruction, and coincidentally, the ability I gained during my rebirth was prophecy.”
"So I used my prophetic power on her, and then I saw a ruined world where she was all alone."
"Did she really live for such a long time?"
"Theresa has an immortality curse on her, so she can't die even if she wants to, right?" When Elira was reborn as a member of the Cursed Clan, she learned about Theresa's situation.
"No, I told her how to break the curse of immortality before I died."
The method to break the curse of immortality is simple: she only needs to become the new God of Curse. At that time, the God of Curse who had revived in her body had already been killed by Theresa. Whenever Theresa wanted, she could become the new God of Curse.
After all, the Curse of Immortality is one of the core curses of the God of Curses, and Elise has already told her how to obtain the other core curses.
Becoming a god was just a matter of a single thought for Teresa.
Unexpectedly, she lived until the end of the world. Why? Did she not want to forget herself?
"That's all I know," Elira said, shrugging.
"If that's the case, then why are you still afraid of her?"
"As you know, I've been reborn hundreds of times, and several of those times I was killed by her."
Recalling the world engulfed by the curse, Theresa shuddered. She remembered those times when Elise, the world-destroying witch, didn't stay with Theresa until the end, but was killed by someone along the way, and then the immortal went mad.
"So she can do things like that," Elise chuckled softly, her smile tinged with sweetness.
Seeing Elise's smile, which resembled that of a young girl in love, the protagonist thought that Elise had something wrong with her head, though he himself wasn't much better.
"Um, can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead."
"I see you've gathered quite a few chosen ones around you this time. Whom are you planning to stake your life on?"
“On all of them,” Ellie said without hesitation.
This rebirth has been so full of unexpected changes, how could she possibly let such an opportunity slip by?
I wonder what chaos the world would descend into if I were to die after this rebirth? Just thinking about it is exciting!
Seeing Elise suddenly become excited again, Elira felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly interrupted Elise's thoughts: "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
"Don't worry, you probably already know what's going to happen in the next few days, right?"
Elira paused for a moment, then sighed with a hint of melancholy: "You're talking about the trigger incident, right?"
"That's right, it's going to be very chaotic, so please be careful."
"Don't worry, I will."

Elira slowly got up, said goodbye to Elise, and went to find her heartless friend.
