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

"uh-huh…"

"I can't believe that Hiti actually believed me and obediently went back to Valhalla. Didn't she use her brain at all? How could Clythos possibly let our lord take her back to Valhalla?"

Ivy walked along a street in the Western Continent, her steps light and quick as she weaved through the crowd.

With the authority and power of a supreme god, she easily concealed her presence.

Otherwise, given the influence she wielded in the Aodu Empire, this street would have been completely blocked, attracting a whole host of troublesome figures to investigate.

In no time, Ivy arrived near the Dome Academy.

"Hmm... Based on the location of Krysos, she should be hiding here. If nothing unexpected happens, my lord will also have a hard time."

"I never expected our destination to be here. Looking back now, I feel a bit nostalgic. I wonder if Nemo and the other two have carried on the Destiny System."

If I remember correctly, she left them a Stone of Fate Contract when she left.

The stone's effect is simple: it guides newborns to establish a divine connection with her, thereby gaining some favor from fate.

With her help, even if the Fate Department doesn't become the number one department in the Dome Academy, it should at least be able to shake off its former status as the last one, right?

"But let's find out where our lord is now, lest that guy Cresos continues to get carried away."

Ivy clenched her fists, about to walk out of the crowd, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a striking white figure out of the corner of her eye.

Thank you.

"!!!"

Ivy was startled and looked around before hurriedly hiding in the crowd.

"Wait a minute... Shouldn't my lord be inside with Clythos? Why did she come back from outside? It's so sudden, I haven't prepared an explanation yet...!"

Ivy peeked out and secretly looked at Xie Bai.

In her field of vision, Xie Bai's complexion seemed rather unwell, and she appeared to be holding something in her hand that looked somewhat like a person...

"Um?!"

Ivy's pupils contracted instantly.

"Hitty!?"

"No, no, why is she in my master's hands? What... what's going on?"

Ivy rubbed her eyes, not believing it, and after confirming that she wasn't seeing things, her mind went completely blank.

If she remembered correctly, she must have been tricking her into staying in Valhalla properly, right?

How did it end up in the Western Continent and even appear in my Lord's hands?

This...this...!

What on earth happened in between?!

Isn't she a witch who controls fate? Why does she seem to be being played by destiny?

Seeing Xie Bai dragging Hiti back to the Dome Academy step by step, Ivy immediately snapped out of her daze.

Regardless of what happened, she only knew that if she didn't show up later, then it would be Krysos and Hiti who stayed by the Lord's side, while she would be directly excluded.

"But how should we meet without seeming too deliberate?"

Ivy fell into deep thought.

On a whim, I decided to return to my old haunts.

That seems quite reasonable.

If we happen to bump into each other, just say you came back to check on how the Fate System is doing, and then show a little surprise at the chance encounter...

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Ivy, looking smug, was about to praise herself for being the witch who controls fate when she suddenly overheard some comments from passersby.

"Ugh... this entrance exam task was so tedious! Luckily we managed to finish it in the end. What magic should we choose to study next?"

"It depends. There are quite a few factions to choose from at Dome Academy, but there's one thing you need to remember: never choose that Fate thing."

"Huh? Why?"

"There's no particular reason. It's just that many predecessors have already fallen into this trap. Their opinions vary, but they can all be summed up in one sentence."

"What did you say?"

"Destiny is the zone."

……

On the other side, in front of the treasure pagoda.

Krysos and Gaelost remain in the same place, and apart from the passage of time, almost nothing has changed.

I don't know how much time passed; maybe half an hour, or maybe just two or three minutes.

Krysos began to squat helplessly to one side, muttering to herself.

"Really... why isn't my older sister coming out yet? There's not a sound. Has she abandoned me? But I didn't do anything wrong. I've been very obedient the whole way. Did I do something to annoy her? Or do I look too thin and make her feel disgusted...?"

Seeing Krysos begin to blame herself, Galloster broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, he was distracted by the countless probing attacks outside.

It was unclear what kind of being had set its sights on Krysos, as the methods of probing were exceptionally complex, many of which involved powers he had never seen before.

If he weren't so powerful, outsiders might have already broken in.

However, even in this situation, Clythos herself couldn't hold on any longer?

What a joke! He's just a magician; he's not good at saying comforting or soothing things!

He is now facing dual pressures from both the outside and the inside. If Xie Bai doesn't come back soon, he really won't be able to hold on.

At this crucial moment, he suddenly saw a strand of white hair appear in his field of vision.

"My lord..."

"Wait."

Xie Bai interrupted Galloster's lyrical speech directly.

She placed Hiti, whom she was holding, into Galloster's hands, and then added.

"Her injuries are a bit serious. You should take her to the academy's medical facility to recover first. I'll go pick up an acquaintance at the academy gate."

After saying that, Xie Bai's figure disappeared instantly, giving Gallost no chance to ask any more questions.

"Hey sir, don't walk so fast. The young lady you asked me to help seems a bit..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gallost suddenly noticed that Cresos had collapsed to the ground beside him.

To the naked eye, it appeared that the other person had been frightened unconscious by something.

"???"

Galloster looked at the unconscious Hiti in his arms, then at the terrified Krysos on the ground, and his mind went blank for a moment.

"what?"

……

On the other side, in a corner of the Dome Academy.

A player crouched there, keeping a close eye on the movements of Garost and Cresos.

Suddenly he noticed something and quickly turned on the team's in-game broadcast.

"Attention! Attention! All units, please take note!"

"Target Galloster has left the concealment barrier, seemingly preparing for his next move."

"The target is currently holding Lady Krissos hostage. Any units in ambush should refrain from any rash actions and prioritize Lady Krissos's safety."

"At the same time, we should also note that it seems that the other party has more than just Lady Kriss as a hostage; a young girl of similar age has also been taken hostage by him."

"Based on current observations, the other hostage appears to be a gatekeeper agent of Valhalla, the Witch of Destruction, Hiti."

"..."

"what?"

……
