Volume 5, Chapter 62 – We Still Have Hope

“Lady Luolin?”

Looking at the rabbit doll in front of her—rubbing its head, completely battered, even with its fur standing on end—Isabelle, who had been playing games with Lenis for two hours, asked tentatively.

Today, Isabelle had rarely complained about Astral, complaining that the True Ancestor hadn’t informed her of more details about Luolin’s situation.

However, Lord Astral, who was in seclusion for a breakthrough, probably didn’t have time to say much.

Faced with Isabelle’s inquiry, the rabbit doll pulled out a cigarette from a nearby garbage pile, lit it and took a deep drag, then replied in a cute but roguish voice:

“Hah? What’s up?”

“Your, your current form, exactly…”

Isabelle hesitantly began.

If a Divine Graced Realm expert was a bit slovenly… Isabelle could barely accept that.

But?

This thing was really Divine Graced Realm?? A mascot-like doll? And one that had been beaten up like this?

No matter how you put it, this was quite different from what Isabelle had expected.

Although Isabelle hadn’t finished speaking, the rabbit doll had obviously guessed what she was thinking, raising its eyebrows with considerable disdain and slight confusion.

“Hah? You’re from Solrog, right? Didn’t Astral tell you about my situation?”

“I am indeed from the Solrog family… but Lord Astral only asked me to find you, he didn’t tell me much about your circumstances.”

Isabelle said truthfully.

“Oh, I see…”

After puffing smoke for a bit, the rabbit doll named Luolin sighed somewhat helplessly.

“Alright, no wonder you have that shocked stupid look. Fine, I’ll tell you. The reason I’m like this is simple—my physical body was destroyed long ago.”

“Your physical body was destroyed?”

“Yes.”

The rabbit doll nodded.

“Astral told you, right, that I’m from another world. Of course, not your Yao Xing, but a place called the Rosemary Realm. One of the five worlds created by the Lord.”

“I-is that so? The Rosemary Realm.”

“Mm, then my world, like the other two worlds, couldn’t escape the erosion of corruption and eventually collapsed and was destroyed, becoming nourishment for the corruption, right? After I absorbed world fragments and became Divine Graced Realm, I wanted to fight those monsters. Unfortunately, I couldn’t win and lost my body in the process. When I came to this world afterward, I had no choice but to get a new body.”

“I understand the logic, but why this kind of…”

Looking at this rabbit doll body, Isabelle’s expression was still somewhat strange.

“No choice.”

While pulling out needle and thread to stitch up her body, the rabbit doll said calmly.

“I was lucky to survive at all—how could I have time to choose what to inhabit?”

“What about afterward? Why not consider changing bodies? If you need it, we Solrog could completely help you create a new body.”

“No need. Our world’s power system is different from yours. I can’t adapt to your bodies.”

Without hesitation, the rabbit doll directly chose to refuse.

“Doll is doll, it’s quite convenient, I’m used to it, no need to change.”

“Al-alright.”

Since Luolin had already said this, Isabelle naturally couldn’t continue persuading, only nervously asking about what concerned her most:

“Then in this form, your strength?”

She had come here to seek powerful allies who could fight the evil gods for Lord Astral. And Luolin’s doll appearance obviously had nothing to do with being “powerful.”

Meanwhile,

After reading Isabelle’s thoughts, the rabbit doll didn’t hide anything but directly nodded.

“Yeah, just like you’re thinking, the current me doesn’t have much strength. But it doesn’t matter, there’s her…”

“Her?”

Following the rabbit doll’s gaze, Isabelle looked toward the black-haired woman nearby who was concentrating intently on playing games, looking very much like a shut-in.

“She’s my contractor, I can use my power through her.”

“Sigh, I know you look down on her, but I can’t help it, right? I’d also like to find a gentle, beautiful, caring, young woman as a contractor, but unfortunately she has the best compatibility.”

“No choice, could only end up with a Magic Auntie~”

Exhaling smoke, Luolin waved her hand with disgust.

Then,

Luolin’s words came to an abrupt halt.

—”Boom!!! Thud thud thud!! Smack smack!”—

After a series of booming sounds, the rabbit doll was beaten with the baseball bat again, finally being embedded directly into the wall.

After struggling to pull her head out of the wall and falling back to the ground, the dust-covered rabbit doll continued speaking seriously:

“Don’t underestimate her, or you’ll be pounded into mush.”

“I see…”

“So, what did Astral have you come find me for?”

“To deal with the evil gods… those three monsters have already appeared on Earth, for the sake of this world…”

However, before Isabelle could finish, Luolin’s next words made her eyebrow twitch.

—”I refuse.”—

“Wh-what?”

“I’m not stupid enough to go fight evil gods to the death. This is the fruit you people planted yourselves, you deal with it yourselves, don’t think about dragging me into it.”

The rabbit doll’s face darkened as she spoke coldly.

Hearing this, Isabelle’s expression changed, and she hurriedly said anxiously:

“Lady Luolin, Lord Astral is doing this all to save our world! Lady Luolin, you are one of the Lord’s apostles, you should rightfully protect this wor…”

“The world I was supposed to protect is already gone.”

Before Isabelle could finish, the rabbit doll spoke in an icy tone.

Though her voice was cute, it contained a murderous aura that even made Isabelle feel chilled.

“Your world, you protect yourselves.”

Speaking, the rabbit doll slowly stood up, extinguished the cigarette, and turned around.

“Magic Auntie! Show the guest out!”

The rabbit issued an eviction order.

Then,

—”Don’t call me Magic Auntie!! I’m only twenty-eight, damn it!! You bastard!!”—

Accompanied by a loud crash, the rabbit doll was unsurprisingly sent flying again.

“Annoying thing…”

Lenis spoke with undisguised contempt.

However, contempt aside, this slovenly woman seemed to still respect the rabbit doll’s choice. After hammering the rabbit doll away, she looked at Isabelle with a serious yet weary expression:

“You heard her, she doesn’t want to help you. So, you should go back.”

“But…”

“Go back.”

Lenis slightly narrowed her eyes, and a terrifying spiritual power fluctuation quietly spread.

Seeing this, after a brief hesitation, Isabelle had no choice but to nod helplessly. Although extremely displeased at being refused, considering the other party’s terrifying strength, Isabelle didn’t dare say more.

“I understand, I’ll leave now.”

Isabelle simply stood up, stepped over bags of garbage, and walked toward the entrance.

However, just before leaving, Isabelle stopped, looking thoughtfully behind her at the rabbit doll that had plunged headfirst into a garbage pile.

“By the way, Lady Luolin, Lord Astral had some words for me to convey to you.”

“…”

The rabbit doll remained stuck in the ground, motionless.

Isabelle didn’t mind this and continued:

“He wants you to know that this time is different from back then. Lord Astral is about to break through to Divine Graced Realm, so you won’t be fighting alone anymore. Moreover, the enemies aren’t as powerful as what you faced back then. It’s not a single outer god, but three evil gods. Not only is their power divided into three parts, but there are also huge conflicts among the three evil gods themselves. We… have hope of winning.”
