Moreover, due to Heinrich's increasingly improper thoughts towards Eva, he began to consider whether he should continue to let Eve and Adam stay in the team. This made Eve and Adam extremely anxious for a while because they knew that if they couldn't hook Heinrich soon, not only would their entire plan involving Heinrich fail, but even their attempt to escape from the realm of the gods might be disastrously exposed.
This was truly a thorny issue! Just as Eve and Adam were at a loss on how to deal with this, two other important characters, the Elsie sisters, finally appeared.
During a recent exploration mission of Heinrich's purification squad in the dark chain plane, they encountered an attack by a dark energy storm that suddenly appeared, causing multiple casualties in their team. Coupled with Heinrich's current thoughts of transferring Eve and Adam from his squad, he immediately applied to headquarters for additional personnel. The Elsie sisters were precisely the two new members assigned to the P1557 purification squad by the Sacred Mission's External Expansion Department. As a result, it was the appearance of these twin sisters that successfully pulled Eve and Adam back from the brink of failure.
According to Heinrich, the moment he saw the Elsie sisters, his body shook as if struck by lightning. Because in that instant, Heinrich was completely captivated by the beauty of the Elsie sisters. Although for Haoyun, the Elsie sisters' features were sharp and their thin, tall bodies seemed malnourished with a deeply unhealthy shade of dark blue skin, they were far from fitting the idiom "beautiful as a celestial being". But in Heinrich's eyes, the Elsie sisters were goddess-like beings of unparalleled beauty.
Alright! Haoyun had to admit, everyone had their own aesthetics. Moreover, judging from Heinrich's quasi-animal-like frame, he should belong to a completely different species from Haoyun in terms of physical structure. So, the difference in aesthetics between Heinrich and Haoyun was naturally not worth delving into!
The astute Eve and Adam naturally sensed Heinrich's reaction upon seeing the two sisters, and felt the seals inside Heinrich were further loosened. Seeing this, they were overjoyed because they had found the best way to breach Heinrich's psychological defenses and lure him in. Therefore, they began to show favor to the Elsie sisters, actively helping them to become familiar with the team's work. Moreover, they deliberately or unintentionally sought out opportunities for Heinrich and the Elsie sisters to be alone, thereby continuing to accelerate the unraveling of the seals within Heinrich.
What surprised Eve and Adam even more was that during their interactions with the Elsie sisters, they discovered that these sisters were not as innocent as they appeared on the surface. There seemed to be some hidden emotions in these sisters' hearts, such that Eve and Adam felt that while they were loyal to their duties, there seemed to be some ulterior motives. So, Eve and Adam began to subtly influence the Elsie sisters using the insights they had gained from the dark chain plane.
The result that surprised Eve and Adam was that they seemed unable to exert any deep influence on the Elsie sisters. Instead, the Elsie sisters discovered the anomalies in Eve and Adam's behavior. Therefore, taking advantage of an opportunity when alone with Eve and Adam, the Elsie sisters directly confronted them about their strange actions. However, Eve and Adam were not worried at all about this because although they couldn't subtly influence the Elsie sisters, they could sense the rebellious nature within them. It seemed that the Elsie sisters were not willing to serve in the dark layer system indefinitely.
Thus, taking advantage of the opportunity when the Elsie sisters questioned them, Eve and Adam pointed out the problems with the sisters. What Eve and Adam did not expect was that things would progress far more smoothly than they had anticipated. Upon learning of Eve and Adam's desire to leave the realm of the gods, combined with the discovery by Eve and Adam that the Elsie sisters possessed a very special physique, such that they could become mothers of high-value offspring with Adam's cultivation. Therefore, the four quickly reached a consensus to jointly break free from the control of the realm of the gods. Moreover, the Elsie sisters promised Eve and Adam that they were willing to personally entice Heinrich, who was already secretly harboring desires for them, so that he would willingly become the vessel for the three priestesses.
Heinrich greedily licked his lips, as if remembering the beautiful moments he had spent with the three priestesses. Then, he sighed heavily in disappointment, before introducing the situation with the Elsie sisters. Only after Heinrich completely prostrated himself under the three priestesses did he learn that the main reason the Elsie sisters eagerly joined Eve and Adam's defection team was due to their past experiences. It turned out that the Elsie sisters, like Heinrich, came from a certain world in the dark chain plane. The world they originally lived in was completely destroyed due to purification by the realm of the gods.
"So the Elsie sisters also came from the dark chain plane! No wonder Elsie's elder sister sounded so sad when she mentioned her family and friends," Haoyun said with sudden realization upon hearing this information.
Heinrich nodded, indicating that according to what he later learned, the Elsie sisters had indeed lived in dire straits before their world was purified by the realm of the gods. The fundamental reason their daily lives were surrounded by suffering was their twin identity.
The Elsie sisters were born in a deformed world dominated by males with absolute dominance and extreme unilateralism. In this world, asymmetry was considered beautiful, while symmetry was seen as ugly and evil. Therefore, the female population, considered even-numbered, has been subservient to the male population, which represents odd numbers, since birth, leading lives of inferiority and great misfortune. In this world, the few values of females were as cheap labor to be driven and tools for reproducing offspring.

Under the influence of this pathological aesthetic preference for odd-numbered beauty, many female minds began to distort. In pursuit of this abnormal odd-numbered beauty or to conform to the distorted values of society, enabling better integration and survival, many female groups began using technological means to transform themselves into beings with male physiological characteristics.
Even more twistedly, rather than prompting societal questioning and concern, these extreme actions towards odd-numbered beauty received widespread approval from society at large. However, considering the world's need for reproduction, according to the laws of this world, any female must complete at least one round of childbirth before having the right to change their sexual characteristics.
At the same time, a new extreme law was enacted — for females committing serious crimes, the right to change to male was stripped, and they were required by law to bear the obligation of reproducing for society throughout their lives. For those who had already transitioned to males and committed serious crimes, their right to remain male would be revoked by law, and they would be forcibly reverted to female, also obligated to bear the duty of reproduction for life. Numerous such stringent regulations existed.
Moreover, males, who stood at the top of the food chain, under the influence of extreme monopolar ideology, quickly elevated their monopolar sentiments to a whole new level. Male creatures even began searching for asexual reproductive technologies according to an ancient legend, believing that this ability would be a blessing for all male creatures worldwide. They thought that society would evolve once more towards a purer, more perfect monopolar world, ultimately reaching the long-awaited Eden for male creatures.
While male creatures enthusiastically explored new technologies to enter this ultimate happy world, female creatures reacted not with enthusiasm but with fear. They knew that once male creatures mastered asexual reproduction technology, females, as part of the complementary relationship between the sexes, would become even more worthless. By then, they would lose even the qualification to be birthgivers, relegated to the lowest servants driven by male creatures. What's even more frightening is that in a world influenced by extreme monopolar ideology, female creatures might not even be needed anymore. This would lead to female creatures completely losing their right to survive, not even qualifying to be born.
"Abnormal, it's truly abnormal! How could such an extreme world exist?!" Dream Jia couldn't help but curse aloud upon hearing this.
Heinrich, however, calmly remarked, "The world where Elsie and her sister lived was indeed very abnormal. Fortunately, this twisted world existed within the Dark Chain Plane and was completely obliterated upon our purification, joining the Divine Realm with a completely new order. So, from this perspective, the work of the Cleansing Messengers is not as unbearable as the three imagined. Our work is just another way to make this world a better place."
"Pah! How could these thieves make the world a better place?! You always depict evil deeds as acts of righteousness from a moral high ground, it disgusts me!" Uryll retorted with disdain. Heinrich merely shrugged, paying no attention to Uryll, and continued to describe the situation of Elsie and her sister.
Elsie and her sister were born against the backdrop of further exacerbation of this world's pathological nature. They were females, a pair of identical twins born simultaneously, representing the epitome of bilateral symmetry. However, in this pathological world, Elsie and her sister had no connection to the divine gifts. In the eyes of male creatures, these two sisters were simply demonic seeds intentionally sown in this world.
What's more terrifying, Elsie and her sister were born in a remote village, where the closed environment fostered even more conservative and extreme monopolar thinking among the villagers. Therefore, when Elsie and her sister were born, the entire village, which fervently worshipped extreme monopolarism and odd-numbered beauty, erupted in an instant. Angry villagers gathered with torches and clubs at Elsie's family's door, demanding that this pair of newly born impure creatures be handed over. Because the villagers had to burn these twin infants before sunrise to prevent news of the birth of twins from spreading at dawn, causing the entire village to be shamed and mocked by outsiders.
Fortunately, Elsie's mother and aunt had always harbored rebellious hearts and wanted to resist this twisted world. Therefore, when almost the entire village gathered overnight to demand that Elsie's family hand over the symbol of impurity, the two of them finally decided not to sit idly by. They first stunned Elsie's father when he was unprepared, and then, before the villagers arrived, they carried the still swaddled Elsie and her sister along the village's back road into the mountains.
Due to the fact that Elsie and her sister's mother, along with their aunt, had always been the most inexpensive laborers in the village from an early age, responsible every day for climbing the mountains to gather wild vegetables and herbs, they successfully escaped from the village with their familiarity of the surrounding mountain terrain and their swift footwork developed from childhood in the forests. They managed to hide in an extremely secluded cave they discovered while collecting herbs deep in the mountains. This marked the end of their narrow escape. However, precisely because of the actions of Elsie and her sister's mother and aunt, they soon became wanted by all the villages. As a result, the mother and aunt could only hide deep in the mountains with Elsie and her sister, and this continued for more than 20 years.
In the blink of an eye, Elsie and her sister had grown into adults. Having grown up in the forests, they had honed survival skills from a young age. So, since their mother's health began to decline, the two sisters took on most of the tasks such as hunting, gathering, and searching for food. Out of curiosity about the world, Elsie and her sister often ventured out to search for food, utilizing their strong concealment abilities in the forests to stealthily approach the village not far from the foot of the mountain, where they stole glimpses of their biological father through dense woods that were simultaneously familiar and foreign to them.
