At this mont, Jocelyn Grant, who was the World’s Will, pointed at her, a hint of panic on her face.
"Celeste Grant, don’t you try to scare ."
Hearing this,
Celeste Grant knew she was panicking.
A crazed smile appeared on her face. She then looked at her with a calm expression, not saying a word. But her look said it all: if it really ca to that, she would absolutely do it.
Seeing her like this,
Jocelyn Grant, who had just been feeling smug and thinking she had the upper hand, was now starting to have regrets. As this thought crossed her mind, her tone grew urgent, and she couldn’t help but say, "You’re insane! If you want to die, Celeste Grant, don’t you dare drag down with you!"
Celeste Grant raised an eyebrow slightly. "What are you talking about? What do you an, ’if I want to die, don’t drag you down’? You’re the one who’s been making my life difficult. So if I get upset and do sothing... I won’t be able to control myself. You can’t bla for that. You’ll only have yourself to bla."
’Is this woman insane? It seems I can’t push her too far. If she really gets desperate and sacrifices her Primordial Spirit, then I’ll have to die along with her.’
The World’s Will, as Jocelyn Grant, was deeply conflicted. Part of her tried to reassure herself, ’She wouldn’t dare. Sacrificing her Primordial Spirit ans permanent death. Who would be that stupid?’ But another part of her scread, ’This woman is clearly a lunatic! If I really push her over the edge, she’ll take down with her!’ Thinking about how miserably Jocelyn Grant had suffered in the past made her heart pound with fear. This woman was ruthless. No, that Demon couple—neither of them was normal. They were both rotten to the core.
FUCK... Goddamn it, why did she have to run into these two black-hearted monsters?
’No, I can’t let them control .’
Thinking this, she spoke up. "Heh, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You just want to undo the binding. Well, I’ll tell you the truth. To break this connection, there are only two ways. Either you kill , and she dies with , or she sacrifices her Primordial Spirit, and we die together. Did you really think you could control with just words? How naive. No one can stop from destroying this world. This world shouldn’t exist in the first place." Though her words were defiant, her heart was pounding with anxiety.
Javier Sinclair sneered.
The hand resting on Celeste Grant’s shoulder lifted slightly, and his fingers twitched. At the sa ti, a SIZZLING sound filled the space, followed by the World’s Will’s agonized screams.
"AHHHH..."
"Help... No... Stop... I’ll be your sworn enemy!"
"AHHH, I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die, don’t... Stop, for God’s sake... It hurts so much!"
"Celeste Grant... Javier Sinclair... FUCK... I won’t let you get away with this! I want you dead!"
This went on for a very long ti.
Just when she was on the verge of breaking,
Javier Sinclair would stop.
And once she had recovered, he would start all over again.
The World’s Will, as Jocelyn Grant, endured this "wonderful life" in this space for half a month. Finally, she truly couldn’t take it anymore. She raised her hands, waving them in surrender.
"Don’t... Don’t do it again."
"I surrender... I surrender, damn it... Sis... Boss, I’m on my knees... I... I really know I was wrong now. From now on, I’ll be your most loyal follower. If you tell to go east, I’ll never go west. I’ll attack whatever you point at! Please, just make your man stop..."
Celeste Grant leaned on the arm of the Taishi Chair with one hand, her tone unhurried. "You don’t seem very sincere to . Besides, aren’t you just so ethereal, intangible thing? You don’t really count as a person, do you?"
The World’s Will as Jocelyn Grant: "No, no... Look into my eyes, I’m being completely sincere! I’ve actually rged with this body, so I’m at least half a person now."
’I never thought the day would co when I’d have to bow my head and beg my mortal enemy for rcy. This is so humiliating.’ At that mont, she thought of the original Jocelyn Grant. ’It turns out she wasn’t too useless; the enemy was just too powerful.’
’My dignity is gone forever. No wonder that loser Jocelyn Grant was defeated ti and ti again. These two... they’re not even human!’
Celeste Grant raised her hand slightly, gesturing. A gentle, kind-looking smile graced her features. "She does look pitiful. Look at her, all bloody and sizzling. Let’s let her go for now."
The World’s Will as Jocelyn Grant: "..."
’Listen to yourself! Are those words a human should be saying?’ At this mont, she was filled with regret. Regret for ever provoking these two bastards.
’And why does a wicked Curse Technique like this even exist in this world?’
Now, as her gaze swept over the chains illuminated by glowing runes, a chill ran down her spine. She absolutely did not want to experience that ever again.
"Very well. As my lady commands."
Javier Sinclair withdrew his hand. At that mont, the chains that had appeared from the void slowly faded away as if they had never been there at all.
Watching the chains vanish before her eyes, the World’s Will as Jocelyn Grant glanced at them and sighed. Like a defeated rooster, she slumped her head, and her body fell limply to the floor of the space.
She had lost all will to live.
"Just say it. What do you two want?"
’I want to cry.’
A single tear trickled down her cheek.
’Those two animals.’
’They tortured for a full half-month.’
’Don’t they have anything better to do?’
She lay there, motionless.
"Let make one thing clear. I have no way to undo the binding."
Celeste Grant stroked her chin.
"Who said I was in a hurry to undo it?"
Jocelyn Grant turned her head to look at her. "I lost. I accept my defeat."
Celeste Grant looked at her.
"You look like you’ve lost the will to live. Feeling so down, are you giving up on destroying the world?"
"No. I’m not interested anymore."
’Being alive is actually pretty good,’ she thought now. ’The world is quite beautiful, really.’
Celeste Grant raised an eyebrow slightly. "Your resolve is weak. Don’t you want to create a new world anymore? I thought your idea was pretty good."
She imdiately replied, "No, no! My mind might have been a bit muddled before, probably influenced by the old Jocelyn Grant. But I’m clear-headed now! I’ve decided to turn over a new leaf and be a good person. I was born from this world; this is my ho. Why would I want to destroy it? The world is so beautiful, the sunlight so warm."
Celeste Grant smiled faintly.
"Actually, I think you could still reconsider."
Hearing this, Jocelyn Grant flipped herself into a sitting position and held up a hand to stop her, her face completely serious. "No, there’s no need to reconsider! I’ve already made up my mind. The of yesterday is dead. Today’s is a brand-new . From now on, I am your most loyal follower."
’Compared to a life worse than death, this is actually pretty good.’ Now, if anyone tried to destroy the world, she’d be the first one to fight them.
The corner of Celeste Grant’s mouth twitched.
’This World’s Will is certainly adaptable.’
Celeste Grant gave her a look of disdain. "You think just anyone can be my follower? You’re so stupid, and you’re wearing Jocelyn Grant’s face. I can’t accept it. I’m the type to hold a grudge. You used to favor Jocelyn Grant, always helping her try to harm . If I hadn’t worked so hard to change the plot, I might have died a miserable death just like the villainess in the book."
The World’s Will sighed.
"You can’t bla for that. That’s just how the plot was written, and I am the core will of the plot’s direction. You are all characters in a book. It’s perfectly normal for to make you follow the plot. On the contrary, you’re the ones who betrayed . Every single one of you stopped listening to ."
