He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

The next morning.

As the last drop of water dripped from the roadside weeds, the flood that had plagued the entire continent finally receded completely.

Batch after batch of building materials were delivered to the construction site, signaling that everything from the past was beginning to be rebuilt.

In just one morning, the foundation of the Northern Palace had been rebuilt and compacted, ready to begin construction of the magnificent staircase for the first floor of the palace.

Not far away, a statue sculpted in the form of an Azsharax dragon stands in the center of the square.

Xie Bai sat alone atop the statue, overlooking the entire reconstructed Northgard.

"call…"

"Now things have finally calmed down."

After resolving a series of trivial matters related to the arrival of the God of Fate, Xie Bai finally saw no new crises.

Even Artorias and Ivy, who had always been around her, were all handed over to Brandon for trusteeship.

"But then again, Brandon is quite something. I thought he would refuse, but I underestimated this old fogey who has so many tricks up his sleeve."

"Even Gami and the others were able to take it all in without batting an eye and without causing any trouble."

At least in this respect, Brandon is definitely much better than her.

Not only that, she can even coordinate the reconstruction work of the entire North. She is truly worthy of being someone who has lived for 30 million years, saving her a lot of trouble.

That way, she can free up some time to do other things.

For example, some entities that did not appear at all during the entire event.

"But before that, let's go visit Gami and the others first."

Thinking of this, Xie Bai stood up and jumped down from the statue.

"Whoosh—!"

Just as he touched the ground, Xie Bai's figure suddenly stopped.

As she lowered her heels from behind, Xie Bai also flipped over, his toes lightly touching the ground.

"Um…"

"There's no one around."

It's midday now, the warmest time of day in Northgard.

Following the long-standing tradition of the North, all the races of the North returned to their resting places for a midday rest, including the construction crew of the Northern Palace.

Now, in this huge square, only a few birds are foraging for food.

Just as one of the whitest birds raised its head, a shadow suddenly appeared around it.

"Whoosh!"

A tail suddenly appeared, knocking the pure white bird into the air.

Before the bird could recover from its dizziness, a small hand suddenly darted out from the side and firmly grabbed it.

"snort!"

"How about that? My skills are no joke!"

"If it weren't for my abilities, you wouldn't still be able to escape the clutches of that guy Brandon."

Suddenly, Azsharax appeared, grabbing the pure white bird and looking smugly at the two little ones behind him.

"Hey, this white bird is called a Snowdrift, a common bird in the North, whose feathers are usually blue and white. But this pure white one is a mutant, so it's quite rare."

"Of course, even this thing was an easily obtainable pet before me. Back when I was the overlord of the North, I kept an entire mountain of these little creatures..."

Suddenly, Azsarax shut his mouth.

Seeing this, the two little ones, who had been listening with great interest, became confused.

"What's wrong, Sister Long? Why did you suddenly stop talking?"

Is there something wrong with this white bird?

Faced with the two children's confusion, Azsarax touched his forehead and said.

"I can sense Brandon approaching, hmm... I'd better move to a different location quickly."

After saying that, Azsarax turned around and called to the two little ones behind him.

"As before, you will be responsible for concealing spatial fluctuations, while I will be responsible for planning the route nodes, and..."

"Bang!"

"Ugh...!"

Azsarax covered his head and looked up angrily.

"Who is it? Are you blind...?"

"...Is that right?"

"Gulp..."

Azsarax withdrew his hand.

"Hi, hi..."

"Uh, big sister? Hello...?"

"Ugh!"

Xie Bai grabbed the dragon horn on Azsarax's head and shook it vigorously.

"Azsarax, you did a great job, you even learned to take Jamie and the others with you on the escape."

"How come I never saw you this capable before?"

Faced with Xie Bai's questioning, Azsarax tried his best to steady himself and attempted to refute.

"How can you say that? I was clearly much better before..."

"Ugh!!!"

"No, no, no! I was wrong, stop it! The horn is going to break!"

Xie Bai shook Azsarax vigorously for a while before gradually stopping.

Just as Azarax finally caught her breath, Xie Bai suddenly grabbed her cheeks and rubbed them so hard she couldn't speak.

"Ugh, ugh...!"

Xie Bai kneaded Azsarax while glancing at the two little ones behind him.

"Huh? Just the few of you?"

"Haven't Artorias and Ivy caught up?"

Faced with Xie Bai's question, the two children were nervous at first, and then explained tremblingly.

"Um... well, those two older sisters didn't keep up with us..."

"They are all following Brandon's teachings, learning lessons about getting along well and achieving win-win cooperation..."

Hearing the two little ones' explanation, Xie Bai frowned in confusion.

"Hmm? They've become friends so quickly and are actually staying there obediently?"

"Could it be that Brandon actually has something going on?"

Thinking of this, Xie Bai looked down at Azsarax.

"Then what about this?"

For a moment, Xie Bai couldn't tell whether Brandon was incompetent or Azarax was too supermodel-like.

"Never mind, let's take them back first."

With that, Xie Bai skillfully tore open a spatial rift, picked up Azsarax, and walked inside.

Seeing this, the two little ones nearby quickly followed.

……

A moment later, Xie Bai, carrying Azsarax in one hand, arrived at the study area specially set up by Brandon.

At this moment, Brandon was behind Atoris and Ivy, patiently instructing them.

After sensing the spatial fluctuations behind him, Brandon slowly turned his head.

"Oh, so it's you, sir."

Brandon bowed and then looked at the Azsarax that Xie Bai was carrying.

"Oh dear, His Majesty Azsarax has returned."

"Thank you, sir, for helping me find Her Majesty. I will definitely pay more attention in the future."

With that, Brandon took Azsarax from Xie Bai's hands.

Throughout the entire process, Azsharax curled up his tail and wings, watching everything with a puzzled expression.

"???"

"Strange, I remember sensing Brandon nearby not long ago, how come now..."

Before Azarax could figure it out, Brandon pushed her back onto the table.

Seeing this, the two little ones beside them also tactfully followed and sat down.

Seeing this, Brandon clapped his hands in slight relief.

"Alright, that little hiccup is resolved."

"By the way, sir, is there anything I can do for you here?"

Faced with Brandon's question, Xie Bai hesitated before answering.

"Well……"

"I just happened to come back for a quick look..."

"But now, things seem a little different from what I expected..."

Upon hearing this, Atoris and Ivy both turned their heads, peeking out half an eye to look at Xie Bai, their eyes full of anticipation.
