"Maya! Hurry! Give me your hand!" Gauss crawled on the top of the cold cliff and shouted anxiously to his wife who was climbing below.
The dark-faced woman used her trembling feet to pad the hole in the wall and said with a frightened expression, "Forget it, this place is too high and too dangerous."
"Stop talking nonsense! Give me your hand quickly!" Gauss shouted anxiously towards the wall.
The two filthy palms met in the air, and with Gauss's instantaneous force, he lifted his wife up directly.
The two men, breathing rapidly, stood on the top of the flat cliff and hugged each other for a long time. They were free, they finally escaped.
After a long time, they suppressed their excitement and looked at the circular world below the cliff in shock.
Just as they were feeling pleasantly surprised at having escaped, the sky above them lit up, and a rat emitting golden light slowly landed in front of them.
Looking at the giant rat that was more than twice his size, Gauss was so scared that he trembled all over. He trembled and protected his wife behind him, then pulled out a stone knife that was sharpened to a shine from his waist.
Lily looked down at the little people in front of her, raised her little paws to her mouth, and made a shushing gesture, "Shush, Shanshan is not here, I will secretly take you away." After saying that, Lily flew over, grabbed them, and floated towards the window next to them.
After they came out of the only intact modern house, outside were the collapsed ruins of what was once the crown of the world. To Lily and the little man, these were rows of towering mountains.
Just as Lily was flying low over a "mountain", Gauss suddenly attacked. He raised the stone knife in his hand and stabbed it hard in Lily's little paw.
"Ah!" Lily subconsciously loosened her hands in pain.
Gauss, who fell on the "peak", hugged his wife and rolled several times to reduce the impact force, then quickly ran down the "peak".
"Don't go there! This mushroom is very tall! I will take you down. I am a good mouse! You have to trust me!" Lily swooped towards them like a plane.
But Gauss obviously didn't believe what the giant rat said. He just wanted to escape from the rat's eyes, and then take his wife on a ship and leave the island.
Just as Gauss, sweating profusely, was about to crawl into a cave with his wife, the ground suddenly shook and pungent dust was raised high.
Gauss, who was shocked and fell to the ground, hugged his wife tightly, mouth wide open, looking at the huge body that suddenly appeared in front of him, covering the sky and the sun. It was a deformed baby that was deliberately stretched and bloody. The baby's toothless mouth was wide open, crying loudly.
Turbid red tears dripped all around, grew legs and quickly jumped towards Gauss.
Just when Gauss and the others were about to be drowned by tears, a tentacle with fluorescent eyes stretched out from above and rolled them up.
Lily looked at Shanshan who was sizing up the little man, and said with some hesitation on her face: "Shanshan, why don't you let them all go? They are so pitiful in there."
"Pitiful? I don't think so. There's food and drink in there, and there's no danger. How can it be pitiful?" Shanshan said, and accompanied by flashing white light, "bang bang bang!" The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground continued to sound.
Those were monsters of various shapes, just like the deformed babies before. They quickly dispersed as soon as they landed and began to hide their bodies using the broken bricks and tiles of the nearby ruins.
Just as Shanshan was counting the number of monsters, Lily fell on her shoulder with a shocked look on her face, "What...what are these...?"
"My brothers and sisters, I never expected that after the foundation was gone, more than half of them were still alive. I guess 004 didn't take them seriously."
"Oh ah?"
"Brothers and sisters? That means these all belong to Mr. Charles." The little mouse's mouth with front teeth opened wider and wider.
When Shanshan explained the whole thing to him, Lily finally understood what was going on. "So that's what happened. The Foundation is so bad. Mr. Charles is so pitiful."
"Don't just feel sorry for them. They are all your opponents. It's not enough to just have strength now. You must learn how to use it in different battles."
Lily looked at the monsters below with a complicated look in her eyes. "So if I learn this, will Mr. Charles not chase me off the boat if he wants to do something in the future?"
"That depends on how strong you can reach. If dad is really in trouble in the future, it will definitely be a big trouble. With your current strength, you won't be able to help him."
Lily firmly clenched her paws, and gentle sunlight shone from her body, forcing back the darkness around her. "Well! I will try my best. I am not a burden."
"Come on." Shanshan grabbed Lily and threw her gently downwards. "It's okay to injure or maim them so I can heal them, but remember not to kill them."
Before Lily could reply, three dark figures emerged from the rubble and ran towards her as she fell.
With a dull "bang", Lily was knocked into a wall, the wall broke and dust flew everywhere.
When Lily, whose hair was covered in dust, floated out from the dust, monsters of various shapes had already surrounded her.
When there is no one around, these things will kill each other, but when there is an enemy, their blood ties make them point their spears at the enemy.
Lily pouted in grievance and gently blinked her red eyes, "I'm not afraid of pain. I can hold on. I can help Mr. Charles."
Looking at the chaotic scene below, Shanshan began to teach Lily.
"Be restrained. Don't use too much strength if you can. The more cards you have, the greater your chances of winning."
"You're slow to react. Be faster. You can't always rely on the strength in your body."
Under Shanshan's guidance, Lily grew up very fast. This was due to both Lily's hard work and the ways to use the God of Light she found in the ruins of the Church of Light.
The gentle sunlight was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, illuminating the sky above the crown of the world, and only gradually dimmed until midnight.
Lily, whose hair was a little dull, lay in Shanshan's palm, her furry chest rising and falling rapidly, and she looked exhausted.
"Lily, you have great potential. Your strength depends entirely on how much control you have over the power in your body."
“It may take a long time, but when you completely control the power in your body, you may become the new God of Light.”
