God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!

Hearing Little Thumb’s voice, An Le raised her tear-stained eyes to look at it,

while Little Thumb continued to softly plead and comfort her,

"Think about your mom and dad. Didn’t your mom say she wasn’t feeling well and went to the hospital today? Isn’t that why you didn’t even go to school? They care about you so much, they love you so much, right?

"And don’t forget, you haven’t even experienced Yan Huan’s first time yet! You’ve been craving for so long, are you just going to let it go like this? Right?"

Upon hearing this, An Le remained silent.

Despite the myriad complexities in her heart, she couldn’t help but think of her parents and Xiao Huan.

Indeed, she still had her parents and Xiao Huan.

But...

It hurts so much...

During the previous superpower battle with Vice President Sakuragi, one of her tentacles broke again.

Although it regrew later, the excruciating pain at that time seemed to pierce her soul...

Moreover, using it doesn’t come without a price.

Thinking of this, An Le glanced at her bruised arm, which appeared void-like and pale.

An Le could feel that, as she used it, the void there was expanding like a black hole...

Sooner or later, she would be swallowed by that void.

"..."

Thinking of this, An Le instinctively felt fear and had a desire to stop using her superpower, even considering abandoning it entirely.

"Ka ka ka!"

"Ouch, how about we head to Yan Huan’s house now, and when he returns, we can feast heartily! Let’s try to stay positive, don’t be so despairing, okay?! Ancestor, I’m begging you... hiss!"

Upon hearing this, An Le was momentarily stunned and quickly looked at Little Thumb.

Wait...

Clearly, she wasn’t despairing, she just wanted to give up her superpower, so why was Little Thumb still urging her to let go, and seeming so troubled?

An Le pursed her lips, suddenly recalling earlier when Little Thumb told her the way to expel other modifiers:

Make their hosts feel despair.

Just now, as she felt despair, Little Thumb was painfully urging her.

Now, as she was considering abandoning it, it reacted similarly and didn’t realize she was no longer in despair.

In other words...

The real method to kill Little Thumb’s kind is to "choose to willingly abandon them"?

Not only did An Le instantly deduce this conclusion from Little Thumb’s reaction but she also keenly noticed something.

Previously, Little Thumb could somewhat read her general thoughts, yet now in pain, it hadn’t realized she had already discerned its deceit.

In other words, the thought of abandoning everything would overpower any other emotions it could sense?

So, as long as she held onto this thought, even just a little, Little Thumb couldn’t read her inner feelings?

"..."

Armed with this lethal realization, An Le intended to test it, to verify her speculation.

Following this, she contemplated giving up her superpower internally, yet outwardly chose not to expose Little Thumb, instead merely saying,

"Little Thumb, I’m really upset right now... I... want some time alone, okay?"

"What? I think you’d be better off talking to me... hiss!"

As Little Thumb began to speak, An Le’s internal desire to abandon surged further, causing Little Thumb to writhe in pain.

"Alright, alright, I’ll... I’ll disappear for a while, let you calm down... Don’t overthink, if necessary, have your parents take you to see a psychologist, okay?"

"Hmm..."

Little Thumb seemed to be attributing An Le’s distress to depression, unaware that An Le had already grasped it by its weak point, only perceiving her internal emotion as despair.

As Little Thumb vanished, An Le’s seemingly feigned somber expression remained unchanged.

From Little Thumb’s current reaction, it was almost certain...

It had indeed been deceiving her all along.

Claiming not to extract emotional energy from Xiao Huan...

Liar.

However, if Little Thumb wasn’t a benevolent entity, what about the superpowers of other hosts?

Previously, An Le chose to believe Little Thumb because she saw that others truly possessed superpowers and had already begun using them on Xiao Huan.

Furthermore, Little Thumb could accurately describe the effects and weaknesses of the superpowers possessed by the other fingers.

Therefore, its lies were likely mixed with many truths.

An Le understood well that there are two types of deceit in this world that are hardest to expose.

One is nine truths with one falsehood added, and the other is nine truths missing the most critical tenth truth.

Little Thumb was probably the former, and the so-called "one falsehood" was:

It doesn’t extract emotional energy from Xiao Huan but instead helps Xiao Huan, is beneficial to Xiao Huan, right?

So, whether it’s her own or those of other hosts, they all pose a danger to Xiao Huan and must be dealt with.

She could forsake Little Thumb, but what about the others?

This week, An Le had already learned the identities of the other four hosts and had also clashed with them.

Evidently, none of them seemed inclined to willingly give up, their resistance was strong.

Perhaps only a forceful approach might compel them to relinquish.

But by continuing to use Little Thumb’s superpower, she...

Thinking of this, An Le couldn’t help but touch her arm.

There, as her tentacles broke a second time, the area without sensation expanded once more.

What kind of price would she pay if she continued using it?
