It felt so good to be close to the witch!

...No matter where I am, I can clearly sense it...Could it be...?

You're right.

Tisser's cheerful voice reached Roy's ears.

"I can sense your presence even outside this realm, but we are too far apart. Even with the power of a god, it would take a very long time to get there."

"Moreover, I am not able to move around freely now."

"What do you mean by that?" Roy pressed.

"Gods are powerful, but they are not omnipotent," Tissell said with a grin. "Mortals need to hunt and compete to survive, and so do gods."

"Gods have their own enemies."

"It's too early to tell you these things now."

"Let's get rid of the obstruction first."

Tiziel laughed: "However, although I have descended to this world, it is best not to take action if possible. You can deal with this Abyss Evolver."

"Of course, I will suppress its power to the level of a god."

“That’s enough,” Roy nodded.

The gap between the god-level and those below the god-level is too terrifying to cross.

But once the Abyss Evolvers are suppressed below the gods, Roy becomes fearless.

"Ready? I'm releasing the pressure."

Tizel's voice became ethereal, and at the same time, the Abyss Evolvers in the dark purple world regained their mobility.

An invisible force descended, causing its aura to fluctuate wildly until it fell to the level of a god, at which point it finally stopped.

Even so, the current Abyss Evolver is still the strongest level below the God level.

"Roar--!"

Even though they had just been controlled and suppressed by an unknown force, the Abyss Evolver still showed no fear.

Perhaps, emotions simply don't exist for creatures from the Abyss.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, a deep crater appeared in the black muddy ground, and the terrifying recoil propelled the body of the Abyss Evolver to Roy's side in an instant.

He raised his right hand, intending to draw his longsword and strike, but at that moment, Roy noticed that the speed of the Abyss Evolver in front of him had become as slow as a tortoise crawling, like a slow-motion movie, passing by frame by frame.

“I’ll teach you how to use your talents to fight.” Tisser’s voice came to Roy’s ear: “The absorption and release of energy are not simply parallel relationships; they are closely connected. In the process of absorption and release, a powerful collision force is generated, and this force can be used to fight.”

A gentle force entered his body, controlling his form. Roy did not resist; he knew that this was Tisser using his body to cover for him.

Under Tizel's control, Roy, who was about to draw his sword, raised his right hand, palm facing the attacking Abyss Evolver.

A terrifying suction force emanated from his palm, causing the Abyss Evolver to approach Roy at an even faster speed.

However, this trend had only just begun when a repulsive force, contrary to its nature, suddenly appeared and acted upon the Abyss Evolvers.

Attraction and repulsion forces act simultaneously under the influence of inertia.

And so, under Roy's watchful gaze.

The Abyss Evolver just exploded like that.

Black blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the pale skeletons beneath the heavy black blood rain were also covered with cracks.

"Roar--!"

The beings who evolved from the Abyss did not die.

Even though its skeleton was badly damaged, it still let out a furious roar.

Amidst the raging roar, the shattered black mud coalesced back onto its body, forming cracked muscles and skin.

The newly formed Abyss Evolver charged wildly toward Roy.

“I’ve demonstrated it for you once. Now it’s up to you.” Roy, whose power had faded from his body and who had regained control of his body, was still immersed in the wonderful feeling he had just experienced. As the Abyss Evolver approached at high speed, his hand returned to the hilt of the long sword at his waist.

"Qiang——!"

The longsword trembled, and a sharp blade light swept out, forming a crescent-shaped blade aura that slashed towards the Abyss Evolver.

What appeared to be an ordinary blade of energy possessed a strange suction force, causing the momentum of the Abyss Evolver to unconsciously shift.

One sword, two swords, three swords...

Roy swung his sword continuously, unleashing a barrage of blade energy that enveloped the Abyss Evolver within.

The Abyss Evolver tried to break free, but the suction-force sword energy that permeated the space was equivalent to a 360-degree suction force with no blind spots, freezing its body firmly in place, making it impossible to move.

Not far away, Roy raised his sword with seemingly slow but actually fast movements, gripped it with both hands, held it high above his head, and forcefully slashed at the ball of sword energy.

A blade of repulsive force, the exact opposite of attraction, slashes out.

Trapped in the sword-balloon, the Abyss Evolver's body flew uncontrollably toward the Repulsive Blade.

"boom!"

A massive burst of black energy erupted. Due to the appearance of the repulsive blade, the sword-ball gas experienced a weak gap. The Abyss Evolver seized this opportunity and broke free. However, its body inevitably flew towards the repulsive blade.

The Abyss Evolvers showed no fear in the face of this.

However, at that moment, Roy appeared behind the Abyss Evolver and slashed out with his longsword once again.

One in front, one behind; one repelling, one attracting—these vastly different forces collided, creating an incredibly terrifying explosion. And the karmic derivative at the center point, unsurprisingly, was completely engulfed by the explosion in the very first moment.

When the blinding light subsided, Roy came to the front of the karmic derivative that was now just a skull, but still wanted to open its mouth to bite him, and thrust his long sword down forcefully.

"Crack!"

The skull was pierced and deeply embedded in the ground.

The crimson flames in his eye sockets flickered a few times before going out completely.

With the death of the karmic derivative, this small abyss passage collapsed.

"In this way, this world will have a period of rest and recuperation."

Tiziel's voice appeared in Roy's ears, along with His hazy, indistinct body.

He radiated a faint light and hovered in front of Roy:

"To survey the star realm and return to the origin is the highest form of respect for the world."

"I'm leaving, Roy."

"The Abyss of Evil is terrifying. Don't let your guard down because of this victory."

"This god-level Abyss Evolver is nothing more than a slightly larger ant in the Abyss."

"Well... time is running out, so I won't say anything more."

"Take this last bit of power from my clone; it will help you survive better."

"Live until the day I come to your side."

"I'm already looking forward to it, my proxy..."

The figure of the lustful demon Tyr transformed into countless points of light, merging into Roy's body. At this moment, he gained a deeper understanding of the attraction and repulsion between energy absorption and release.

[Trial Mission - Witness the Completion of the "Ceremony of the Tour"!]

[Talent [Infinite Desire - God (10%)] upgraded to [Infinite Desire - God (20%)]]

[Do you wish to leave the trial world?]

Standing outside the world, watching the collapse of the small, nail-shaped abyss passage on the dark purple surface, Roy felt peaceful and serene.

Tristle gave everything, and her vision, which she had waited a century for, was finally realized at this moment.

Roy didn't know if Tristle was still alive at this moment, or if the two of them would have another chance to meet.

But he will always remember that there was a pure and innocent girl who used her life to win a glimmer of hope for the world.

He gazed at the "Seventh Realm of Original Sin - Realm of Lust" where the gap had been filled again, and silently recited in his heart.

"leave."

In the next instant, a dark purple light completely engulfed his figure.

What Roy didn't know was that in the last few seconds before he disappeared...

Deep within the Great Labyrinth of Trii, the dead body bound to the black cross, nourished by the reborn world, has become full and radiant once more.

One by one, the ritual chains came off, and the pure young girl fell to the ground.

She looked up, her gaze seemingly piercing through endless void, and saw the gradually disappearing figure.

We will meet eventually.

"At that time, Lord Roy, I will never let you go again, no matter what."

The girl's soft murmur carried a firmness etched into her very soul.

……

His vision went dark and bright.

Roy slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was the familiar scenery of the hidden place.

He stood up and stretched.

Although the time for this talent trial evolution was not very long, he spent most of his time fighting, so he was inevitably mentally exhausted.

Standing still, Roy closed his eyes, carefully sensing the [Infinite Desire God] after its second evolution.

He quickly noticed the changes.

First, while the range of [Infinite Desire - God] hasn't increased, it won't decrease either. This means that within the area covered by [Infinite Desire - God], regardless of distance, he can absorb energy at maximum speed. Of course, this refers to ordinary energy; as for special energies that can accelerate energy reserves, such as the witch's primordial pollution, Roy estimates that direct contact is still necessary.

Secondly, it gained two brand-new properties that can be used in combat—energy "repulsion" and "attraction".

Their behavior is similar to that of gravity, but their underlying principles are completely different.

Its effect was fully demonstrated in the battle against the Abyss Evolvers, greatly enhancing his combat power.

With the talent test over, Roy, in high spirits, strode out of the hidden place.
