When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 698: Chapter 87 Selene and Hebashia Chapter 698: Chapter 87 Selene and Hebashia “Such a dangerous Codex…”

But upon hearing Hebashia’s account, Lily appeared somewhat hesitant.

She subconsciously glanced at Aiwass.

—In fact, just listening to the description of this Codex Book, Lily felt a stir in her heart.

It was a kind of inner resonance…

and she instantly knew why the Codex had recognized her.

Long before, Lily had been feeling drained by her inner contradictions.

On one hand, she wished to better adapt to Aiwass’s needs, out of gratitude; on the other hand, there was a chaotic desire hidden within her heart.

Her actions were usually silent and reliable, as quiet and imperceptible as a shadow…

following like a shadow.

Yet within her, there lurked a desire for violence—like when she had killed Minister Drost, and in that moment of exhilarating vengeance, she also felt a perverse sense of liberation.

From then on, Lily felt as though a beast dwelled within her.

When she became a werewolf, she had almost hurt Aiwass.

If she could separate herself from this self…

perhaps that would be complete salvation, healing the uncontrollable berserkness.

But the other self—the werewolf witch of the Path of Love named Lily, without the suppression of reason, might harm Aiwass.

Another issue was that a complete separation seemed to require some time.

During this period, what if her body was taken over by the werewolf witch, what would Aiwass do?

Who would take care of Aiwass?

Aiwass had no mother, and since he had come to the Moriarty Family, Lily had been the one to take care of him.

In a sense, Lily was like a foster mother to Aiwass.

On one side, she was concerned that Aiwass might have no one to take care of him; on the other side, she was genuinely fearful that “Aiwass had truly grown up and no longer needed her care.”

If she used the “Egg Moon Manual,” would Aiwass realize this?

…Or maybe, he had already realized this.

Perhaps it was not Aiwass who truly needed to become independent, but herself?

Lily subconsciously began to let her thoughts wander.

“—Don’t overthink it.”

Aiwass interrupted.

He easily guessed what Lily was thinking: “The Codex Book prioritizes adaptability.

It’s less about a person choosing the Codex, and more about the Codex choosing the person…

just as you were recognized by the Spider’s Silk Sensing and Night Rabbit manuals.”

At the time, Aiwass faintly felt that Lily’s recognition by two Codex Books in a row could be described as transcendent.

But in reality, he hardly felt her presence.

It was as if she were an unfathomable pit of resources.

Moreover, there was almost no interaction between her two Paths; they even contradicted each other—at her werewolf form, Lily was close to going berserk and couldn’t smoothly use the Spider’s Silk Sensing of the Path of Adaptation.

Now Aiwass finally understood after seeing the “Egg Moon Manual”…

Being recognized by this book meant that Lily’s tendency to split was already very apparent.

Even if she didn’t look at this Codex Book, she was very likely to split on her own in the future…

but such an uncontrolled split would become very dangerous.

From this perspective, the resources that Lily consumed were essentially nurturing two people.

So allowing them to formally split would be a relief for both, otherwise, there might be a great risk of losing control in the future.

“This Codex Book is regarded as a technique of the Path of Love, but as the ‘dark side of the Moon,’ it also contains elements of darkness and adaptability,”

Hebashia added, “As the you of the Path of Love, you can obtain a power called ‘Moonlight.’ It is the core ability of the mother of monsters, the Egg Moon.@@novelbin@@

In the Primordial Empire, they call it ‘Imperial Pulp.’ ‘Its form resembles countless olives, myriad golden threads, flora touched by it turn into beings of enchantment—’ that is, they become magical beasts.

And mortals who touch it go mad…

the power of witches creating werewolves also relates to it.”

“As for the side of the Path of Adaptation, you’d gain abilities related to the realm of shadows.

Like the dark side of the moon, unseen by ordinary people—you could possess others from behind, becoming the true shadow.”

“I have a suggestion, girl,” the seven or eight-year-old elf girl looked up seriously at Lily, “First make clear which side of yourself will inherit your name, and how the other side should be addressed—names are bindings.”

“When monsters are given names, their ferocity is diminished.

Thus the creatures you create can also be ordered by giving them names.”

“What, we’ve come to the naming part?”

Upon hearing this, Aiwass immediately perked up: “I’ll do it, I’m the best at naming!”

“The true self, the true Lily.

Can only be the maid Lily who stands by the young master’s side.”

Without any hesitation, Lily blurted out without a second thought: “Therefore, the Lily who adapts must be that ‘me.'”

“Which means there’s another witch, right…”

Aiwass pondered for a long while.

A witch related to werewolves…

…How about Little Red Riding Hood?

A legacy of the mother of monsters—perhaps call her Lilith?

“I do have a suggestion,”

Hebashia spoke, “How about Selene?”

At that, Aiwass paused.

He certainly recognized the name, just like he also knew of Dionysus.

In his world, Dionysus was the name of the Greek God of Wine, and Selene was the name of the Moon Goddess.

…Wasn’t this name a bit too grand?
