Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

"Alright, that's enough for now. Why are you going out in your pajamas? Hurry up and change into your maid outfit."

Rumia responded softly, then her changing ring flashed, and her nightgown transformed into her maid outfit.

If it were just a maid outfit, it wouldn't be a problem, but as soon as Rumia changed into the maid outfit, she unconsciously covered her skirt. It wasn't that the skirt was too short or anything, but rather that she lacked a sense of security for some reason.

She hadn't felt anything when she was seduced before, and even felt a little excited, but now she felt more than just excited; she also felt a strong sense of shame.

Elise knew the secret of Rumia's maid outfit, otherwise she wouldn't have deliberately made Rumia wear it. Now, seeing the other's embarrassed expression, a pleasant smile unconsciously appeared on Elise's lips.

“Looks like you’ve lost,” Elise muttered to herself in a voice only she could hear.

She believed that the God of Eternity could hear her words, but she wondered what His expression would be when He saw His followers' reactions after the spell was broken.

Elise was starting to feel a little hopeful.

In the dreamland, a nun who was sitting in the church with her eyes closed suddenly opened them, a strange look flashing in her pale golden pupils.

Was she truly the most outstanding saint in the Eternal Church over the years?

Even He didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment.

Although He had thought He would lose the bet because of Elise’s confident demeanor, He never expected to lose so badly.

On the other hand, after resolving Rumia's matter, Elise decided to rest in the town for another day with everyone, since she planned to go to the God of Eternity that night to fulfill her promise.

Actually, the eternal holy marks were secondary; her main concern was that she wanted to mock Him face to face.

Although the townspeople were all bewitched by Elise, they maintained their daily routines, and their gazes only changed when they saw Elise.

"Are we setting off for the Eternal City tomorrow?" Rumia asked curiously.

"Well, you should stay here. It would be a bit presumptuous of you to come along."

"It shouldn't matter, He has blessed me, no one will recognize me," Lumia said softly.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem."

"Oh, right, here you go." Rumia returned the Book of Souls to Iris, which now had five pages.

Elise touched the cover of the Book of Souls, then used her 'Faceless' skill to transform herself into Flora. She then hugged Elena's arm and said in a sweet voice, "Sister, I want some pocket money~"

Startled by the sudden attack, Elena paused for a moment, then said irritably, "My sister is a rich woman now, she wouldn't ask me for pocket money, and my sister wouldn't talk to me like that."

"Your reaction is really boring." Elise transformed back into herself, pursed her lips in boredom, and casually tossed the Book of Souls back into her spatial ring.

Just then, Rumia reached out and tugged at Iris's sleeve, saying, "Master, I suddenly feel that the Book of Souls is useful again."

"What do you want to do?"

"I just want to become like you and then..." Before Rumia could finish speaking, Iris gave her a hard tap on the head. She knew Rumia couldn't be serious.

After being reprimanded, Rumia looked at Iris with pitiful eyes. She was now regretting returning the Book of Souls to Iris so quickly. Why hadn't she thought of using the Book of Souls to change her appearance and do that kind of thing?

Once I change my appearance, I won't be the one losing face anymore. I can even transform into a little maid, and then...

For some reason, Rumia suddenly became excited again.

Although the Book of Souls is gone, there should be quite a few magical items that can change one's appearance. When I have time, I'll go and look for them properly; who knows, I might find some surprises!

The town wasn't big, and Elise simply led the group on a quick tour before returning to her lodgings. Afterward, she used the fragments of the Mirror of Omniscience's power to investigate Sera's location once more.

However, this time, as soon as the probe was launched, it was immediately blocked.

Meanwhile, Sera, who was enjoying dessert at a dessert shop, curled her lip and said, "How come there's a peeping tom spying on me? If I run into him, he'll be in big trouble!"

If Elise were here, she would definitely notice that the tone of voice was exactly the same as hers.

Iris, whose detection was blocked, couldn't help but twitch her lips. Although she felt somewhat helpless, at least she knew that the other party was still in the Eternal City, so there was no problem.

Just then, the little maid suddenly approached Iris and said with a strange expression, "Miss, why does that shameless saintess seem a bit odd today?"

Volume 1: Chapter 360 So Holy It Makes One Want to Profane It

"Could she really have done that?"

Upon hearing that Rumia was still able to maintain her original way of doing things after the charm was lifted, a rare look of admiration flashed in the little maid's eyes.

She always thought that Rumia's lack of morals was likely due to the seductive influence of her young mistress.

After all, she knew very well what Rumia was like before she was bewitched by her young mistress, and everyone around her had witnessed how she behaved after being bewitched. It seemed that if it weren't for the bewitching, Rumia's personality wouldn't have changed so much.

Now it seems I underestimated that shameless saintess; I never imagined she was that kind of person.

Seeing the maid's reaction, Elise blinked. She hadn't expected the maid's reaction to be one of admiration, and what was there to admire about something like this?

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just give me a shoulder massage."

"Yes."

The little maid stood behind Iris, gently massaging her mistress's shoulders with her small hands. As she massaged, the little maid felt her mistress lean against her, her eyes closed, looking very at ease.

She slowed down her movements and then carefully stopped, afraid of waking the sleeping Elise.

Just after Elise fell asleep, she appeared in that familiar church in the blink of an eye.

Iris, who woke up in the church, showed no panic. She simply turned to the nun sitting next to her and said with a smile, "Looks like I won the bet."

Upon hearing Elise's words, a look of melancholy appeared on the nun's face. Although she didn't think she could win, she hadn't expected that situation to occur. Especially when she thought that Rumia was still her saintess, even she felt somewhat ashamed.

Seeing the melancholy on the nun's perfect face, Elise's lips curled into a pleased smile. Yes, this was exactly what she wanted to see.

"I have a feeling you're thinking about something impolite," the nun said calmly, looking at Elise's smile.

Elise did not respond, but simply watched the nun quietly.

"Alright, I understand. The Eternal Holy Mark is yours."

As the nun finished speaking, Elise suddenly felt a burning sensation on the back of her right hand. Just as the Eternal Mark was about to appear, the Mark of Gluttony appeared first.

The nun, noticing something was wrong, twitched the corner of her mouth and then moved the mark to her chest. But then she saw the mark of greed appear on Elise's chest. Perhaps sensing the eternal mark, the mark gradually transformed into the shape of the eternal mark.

Although the nun could sense that Elise's composition was somewhat complex, she did not expect that the two places she had chosen already had their marks.

Helpless, she could only transfer the Eternal Stigmata to Iris's back, and this time, thankfully, the previous situation did not occur.

As the eternal stigmata appeared, Elise became pure and flawless, but when she opened her eyes, the mark of pleasure appeared in them, and purity and allure merged into one.

"Thank you for your kindness."

"After all, this is our bet. This holy mark is one that I have modified. I cannot sense the other one. But don't be too presumptuous. If you use my power too recklessly, He will still be able to sense your presence to some extent."

"I know."

Elise wanted this eternal stigma not to use His power, but to provide herself with an insurance policy. As the chosen one of the gods, she felt something was amiss, and she had a feeling that it wouldn't be strange if one day she were used as a vessel for the revival of some life.

To avoid that situation, the only option is to get more gods to focus their attention on them.

"Our agreement is fulfilled, so you should be preparing to leave now, right?"

"Yes, I'll leave tomorrow. If things go smoothly, I should be able to come and visit you again."

"I'll wait for you here."

Sweet dreams.

As the words of the Eternal God faded, Elise fell into a deep sleep.

This time, Elise slept from daytime until the morning of the next day. Whether it was due to the blessing of the Eternal God or the long rest, she felt much better after waking up.

She first checked her own condition, and after confirming that there were no problems, she opened the system panel.

Unsurprisingly, the skill "Eternal Mark" appeared in her skill bar. This skill is also part of a skill tree, and Elise also discovered the existence of "Holy Face" within it.

Looking at those familiar abilities, Elise felt that she could even impersonate the Eternal Saintess.

Perhaps sensing Elise's awakening, the little maid sleeping beside her slowly opened her eyes as well.

"Miss, you're finally awake!"

"I must have slept for a very long time."

"Yeah, you slept until now yesterday morning. If Rumia hadn't said you were really asleep, I would have thought something had happened." Even now, the little maid still looked at Iris with some worry in her eyes.

Elise reached out and ruffled the little maid's hair, then said, "I should have told you this; I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Caring for Miss is what I should do." The little maid felt her mistress patting her head, a look of affection flashing in her eyes.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the young lady seemed to have changed a little after waking up. She looked pure and innocent, but not in a normal way.

Normally, a sense of sanctity should give people a feeling of inviolability, and even prevent them from having any thoughts of desecration.

But the purity of their young mistress easily aroused in people the urge to desecrate her.

Even she had some strange thoughts just now.

Sensing the maid's somewhat strange gaze, Iris tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing!" The little maid avoided eye contact with Iris in a flustered manner, turning her gaze elsewhere guiltily, as if there was something particularly noteworthy about the cup on the bedside table.

Seeing the little maid's reaction, Elise couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, then the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that using the Holy Face and the Brand of Pleasure at the same time would have unexpected effects.

However, Elise did not continue to tease the maid. She just smiled and got up to let the maid help her get dressed and wash up.

Today is the day to set off for the Eternal City.

Volume 1: Chapter 361 She Died There

In the morning, while everyone was eating, the others also noticed that Elise seemed to have changed.

Others couldn't pinpoint any changes, but Rumia, as the former saintess of the Eternal Church, sensed the stigmata on Iris the instant she saw her.

Because she also possesses the Eternal Stigmata. (Translated)

Furthermore, her stigmata were readjusted by the Eternal God when she met him yesterday, which is why Rumia was able to sense the stigmata on Iris's body. (Nine)

Without adjustments, even she wouldn't be able to sense the Eternal Mark on Iris's body. 9

Rumia truly hadn't expected that Iris would also be chosen by Him. (Six)

Now, and especially after acquiring the Eternal Stigmata, Iris's almost blasphemous purity is simply irresistible.

Just as Rumia was lost in her fantasies, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over her body. Iris's fingertips crackled with electricity as she said to her irritably, "Just focus on eating when you're eating. Who has a fever while eating?"

Rumia, who was being lectured, obediently responded. To avoid further overthinking, she could only bury her head in her food and avoid looking at Iris. 2

Now, whenever she sees Elise, she can't help but have all sorts of wild thoughts. (Six)

Although Elena noticed Elise's unusual behavior, she didn't ask her in detail. After all, most people wouldn't ask someone in public why they suddenly became so serious and fiery.

It's best to wait until the two of you are alone before asking about such things.

What preparations are needed before heading to the Eternal City?

"No need, we're just here for tourism, there's no need to prepare anything," Elise said nonchalantly.

Before leaving the room, she checked Sera's presence again through the fragments of the Mirror of Omniscience. This time, perhaps because it was early, Sera was asleep when she saw her.

Then, once their spying was detected, the other party blocked it as easily as swatting a mosquito.

But overall, Sera is still in the Eternal City.

Since Elise had already said that, Elena didn't say anything more.

However, since she was going to the headquarters of the Eternal Church, she checked the reserves in her spatial ring before setting off, and even went into the burning church to ask her other self if there was anything she needed to be careful about.

At the same time, I was prepared to enter the dream world and experience related memories while on the road.

It takes several days to travel from the location of Dream Town to the Eternal City.

On the one hand, Dream Town is indeed located in a relatively remote area, and on the other hand, the transportation in the Holy Kingdom is indeed quite primitive.

Unlike the Empire, which has magical trains, the Kingdom also lacks flying magical beasts; they can only travel by carriage, slowly making their way there.

However, this also gave Elena time to reflect on her memories.

For some reason, her memories of the Eternal City seemed a bit off. One second she might be strolling with Elise through the bustling streets of the Eternal City, but the next second everything around her would become desolate, filled with an ominous atmosphere, and the people around her would turn into deformed monsters.

Just as Elena became alert, the surroundings returned to normal, with passersby looking at Elena with strange eyes as she drew her weapon.

Elise, standing nearby, also looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

Elena took a deep breath and then sheathed the dagger in her hand. Although this was in a dream, she was certain that what she had just seen was not an illusion.

Driven by sheer curiosity, she abruptly interrupted her memory experience, returned to the burning church, looked at her alter ego sitting there, and asked, "Why did that strange change occur in the Eternal City just now?"
