Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

Raven stood to the side in amazement; she had watched the battle of the Thousand Calamities from the administrator's office.

It was like a ferocious beast unleashing its fury, almost destroying everything.

Experiencing it firsthand is far more terrifying than watching videos or audio recordings.

"Oh no, Brother Jie is angry! Sister Raven, please help me clean up this mess!"

Even with things having progressed to this point, Pado still hadn't forgotten her grocery stall.

The sweltering heat almost blew Gray Snake's umbrella away, and no one could tell what expression he had beneath the mask.

"Regret it now? Too late!"

Seeing Ziyao take a half step back, Qianjie sneered and his left hand suddenly unleashed a burst of flames towards the girl.

Just as it was about to hit, pink petals suddenly fell from the sky.

The flames were extinguished instantly, and a pink figure arrived late.

"Hi, long time no see! Did you guys miss me?"

"Sister Ellie!"

Paddy exclaimed with delight, "As expected, Alicia will come to help!"

"Get out of the way, Alicia, mind your own business."

The fire on Qianjie's body not only did not go out, but burned even more fiercely.

"I'm sorry, Qianjie, this is an important guest. We can't let you do whatever you want."

The girl playfully held up one finger. "I'll make it up to you another day. By the way, do you want Kevin's coat? I had Eden secretly make more than ten of them."

The girl's cheerful and carefree demeanor makes it hard to believe that she is the second of the Moths of Flame.

"One last time, move aside."

"That won't do. Guests should be treated well."

The pink-haired girl persisted, standing firmly in front of Ziyao.

"Didn't you dare provoke me? What, are you hiding behind someone else?"

Qianjie sneered, his anger growing ever stronger.

"It's alright, Alicia, I can handle this myself."

The Thousand Tribulations before her had not yet used their true strength, and were currently within Ziyao's tolerance range.

"That won't do. I'll be very sad if you get hurt."

Alicia clutched her chest, pretending to be in pain.

"Why do you want to help me?"

"Because you said I'm beautiful. Although many people have said that, you're different."

"I don't remember saying that to you..."

"Alicia, have you two finished talking?"

The flames in Qianjie's hands reignited, their target Ziyao.

He has never been a patient person.

If one does not vent their anger in time, it is as if the flames of their heart could burn them to ashes.

Before anyone could react, the fire serpents burst forth.

Alicia hurriedly tried to stop her, but this time Qianjie deliberately played a trick on her and deceived her.

The first attack was a feint; the second was the real one.

The real fire serpent lunged at Ziyao, and just when everyone thought Ziyao was about to be in danger, the girl suddenly pulled out a crimson giant sword.

The girl neither hid nor avoided, but faced the calamity head-on.

She raised the sword hilt with her slender, delicate hand, a movement so slow it made one wonder if she had given up.

The flames of war, like wildfire, start at the tip of a sword, igniting a raging inferno from the very roots.

Compared to it, the fire serpent is like a small flame flickering in the wind.

Xin Yan—Draw your sword!

The doll in the inventory immediately turned to ashes, transforming into a raging inferno that pressed down on Qianjie.

The fragile fire serpent was torn to shreds like paper; no one could have imagined that the delicate girl could unleash such a terrifying attack.

Qian Jie was taken aback by Zi Yao's skill, especially by the weapon in the girl's hand that resembled Heavenly Fire.

In an instant, he was engulfed by flames.

"Pfft, Qianjie, you look really pathetic. Sorry, I just couldn't help laughing..."

Seeing Qianjie, covered in soot, trying to extinguish the flames, Alicia immediately burst out laughing.

"Get out, I'm going to kill her."

Having taken this heavy blow, Qianjie's fighting spirit intensified, and he was determined to kill Ziyao.

"You've already lost, Qianjie. It's not good to cheat or throw a tantrum after losing a game."

A crystal bow appeared out of thin air in Alicia's hand, and she said with a smile.

She herself hadn't expected that Ziyao, who was no different from any other girl, would possess such great power.

I'm getting more and more curious about you, Miss Ziyao who's impersonating Yingjie~

And that lovely scent on her body, I wonder what it would feel like to hug her?

"..."

Seeing that Alicia refused to back down, Qianjie's breathing became heavier and hoarse.

After a long silence, he chose to leave temporarily.

"Remember, there won't be a next time."

"If you still want to provoke me, you'd better take care of your own funeral arrangements first."

Before leaving, he didn't forget to say something vicious.

"Phew, it's finally over."

Don't let Qianjie's manner of speaking fool you; he's actually a very easy person to talk to, well... he's just not very good at reading between the lines.

"No, it's not over yet, Alicia."

A sweet, childlike voice, tinged with the aroma of fruit wine, came from behind.

The newcomer was a girl of about fourteen years old, with an inverted spiral badge hanging on her chest, symbolizing the mark of "infinity".

The girl was none other than Mebius, one of the Thirteen Heroes.

"No wonder I couldn't sense the aura of Paradise just now; it was you who caused this trouble."

"With such an interesting guinea pig here, how could I possibly be absent?"

Book 1: Chapter 6 Möbius was a very important person.

The girl was like an elf from a fairy tale who had accidentally wandered into the mortal world, or a demon who lured people into the abyss.

Her light green long hair was casually draped behind her, with the ends curling up playfully.

The black and white dress fit the girl's slender body perfectly, outlining a graceful curve, and her well-proportioned breasts swayed slightly with the rhythm of her breathing.

"Oh, isn't this Möbius? Have you finished your research?"

Alicia pretended not to have heard what was said before and feigned surprise.

"snort....."

Mebius only had eyes for Ziyao, ignoring Alicia and moving closer.

"Even the gray snake is here, it's really lively today."

"Greetings, Lord Möbius."

The gray snake bowed its head in greeting.

In a sense, this hero is his creator, and it is thanks to Mebius's technology and assistance that there are so many 'Grey Snakes' today.

"Nice to meet you, the fourteenth hero. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

As he spoke, Mebius deliberately raised an eyebrow at Ziyao.

From the moment he entered Paradise, Mebius remained hidden and overheard everything.

"You look tired. Why don't you come sit in my lab for a while?"

She invited Ziyao, her voice sweet and soft, as if she were being pampered by a little girl.

"No, Ziyao promised to come with me to the amusement park, right?"

Alicia glanced at the gray snake, then clung tightly to Ziyao, looking as if she'd rather die than be separated from her.

“Alishia, you once said that we are all just shadows left over from the old era, and you know that better than anyone else.”

Mebius said in a deliberately profound tone, "It's rare to be able to put Alicia in her place, and I really enjoy the process."

True strength lies not in the sharpness of a weapon when confronting someone, but in the power of words.

The implication is that Alicia cannot interfere too much with the world outside of Paradise, while she, Mebius, can.

With just a word, Gray Snake would work for her unconditionally.

"This is outrageous! I protest and demand a fair rematch!"

"Hehehe... Alicia, didn't you deliberately shield yourself from the aura here? I think that's fair."

Not long ago, Mebius sensed that a new guest had arrived in Paradise.

Moreover, the aura emanating from him... is very unique, or rather, unlike anything else.

When she tried to continue her investigation, she discovered that someone had deliberately pulled the switch.

Fortunately, she was familiar with Paradise and quickly found Ziyao first.
