My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Director Rafe was slightly taken aback as he watched Rafe escape. "Ah, Rafe, why did you leave so soon? Didn't that grand magic trick that was half-prepared go to waste?"

Faced with this scene, the director showed a helpless expression. After letting out a sigh of relief, she dispelled the illusion and walked towards the Chaldea pair.

"I told you, you can always trust me. Olga, Paimonreev, and all that stuff is a piece of cake for me!"

The director spoke to the two in a relaxed tone, and after exchanging words for a moment, he received some unfortunate news from Solomon's consciousness.

"It seems like things are getting a bit complicated."

Upon hearing this news, Olga muttered something to herself, while the doctor on the screen, who had confirmed that the director had been faking it and wasn't the real Paimon, asked, "What's wrong, Director?"

After explaining that her physical body was dead and her soul could only remain in this state for a short time, Mashu instinctively covered her mouth and said in a worried tone, "How could this happen..."

The doctor looked somewhat worried upon learning of the situation, but the director, seeing the circumstances, continued, "It's not a big problem. Just leave here first and don't worry about me."

"I have my own way of getting out of this predicament."

The people who heard this naturally didn't believe it, thinking it was just the director's way of comforting them.

Chapter 676: Paimon tastes really good!

After the director spent more than ten minutes persuading them, the group finally nodded silently.

"Director, we... will definitely carry on your will and save human history!"

After leaving those words, the two, knowing they couldn't be of much help, departed this world to prepare for their next destination.

Meanwhile, the doctor was still trying to figure out a way to get the director back to Chaldea. Looking at the doctor, the director replied in a relaxed tone:

"Actually, you don't need to worry about me. I have my own methods."

Having learned from Solomon how to reach the next singularity, the director's mindset returned to normal.

Dwelling on sadness is useless. The experience of growing up in dreams, the determination to fight Paimon, and Rafe's true colors have all helped the director grow a lot.

At this moment, her impression of Solomon's strength rose to another level. He deduced the method of jumping between singularities in a short time. He truly lived up to his reputation as King Solomon.

And then there's Romani, who insisted he was misled by some fake Solomon. Ha, does Romani understand Solomon or do I understand Solomon?

The journey of burning Fuyuki has come to an end, and Xia Qing, who traveled through space to Chaldea following the mark placed on Gudako Mash and had a look at Sheba, has already learned the location of the singularity through Chaldea data.

"Then let's go check out that singularity before we leave Chaldea."

After muttering something to himself, Xia Qing's figure disappeared from Chaldea, and the next moment he appeared in the First Singularity.

......

A few days later, after opening up an imaginary space, Xia Qing, who pretended to have discovered it by chance and brought the director here, was about to reach his next destination.

The moon and stars were sparse on the plains. The cold night wind made Xia Qing, who had adjusted his senses to a human-like Paimon appearance, more awake. Beside him, a system in the form of Mio was taking pictures with light steps.

"The area ahead should be the stronghold of Jeanne d'Arc Alter, who was created by the Holy Grail."

Looking at the castle in the distance, Xia Qing muttered to herself. At that moment, Mio's voice rang out beside her: "Hmm, so, what are you planning to do with the emergency food, Paimon-chan, next?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing looked at Mio beside her and immediately protested: "Paimon is still quite high-class; at least it's not emergency food."

As for how to do it, I'm just offering a choice.

The system, which had decided to take a walk and hadn't yet chosen to maintain a mental connection with Xia Qing, immediately complained:

"If you're saying it's not emergency food, then why don't you switch to the male version of Paimon you used before? No matter how you look at it, this image is just an adult version of that emergency food Paimon."

Hearing Mio's words, Xia Qing casually replied, "Hey, don't worry about the details. Things change, so don't underestimate the value of emergency food."

As for this image, someone whose name I've forgotten seems to have said something like, "You have to eat food, and you have to take poison, so you have to use your body, whether you're a boy or a girl."

Okay, actually I just randomly picked an illusion template from my previously created mental resource library, but Paimon tastes pretty good~

Regarding the comment "Paimon tastes really good," Mio feigned a complicated tone and said, "Humans cannot, or at least should not."

Xia Qing's reply followed immediately: "So, Mio, I'm not going to be human anymore!"

Besides, from a purely rational perspective, I'm a spirit now and don't have a body anymore, so what humans can't do, I can do. That's great! Paimon's body is giving me an incredible high!

Looking at Xia Qingmiao beside her, she casually said, "Since you think this body can get you really high, why don't you find a secluded place to try it out?"

Hmm, if you're embarrassed because you're being stared at, just tell me if you'd like me to look away a little.

Having walked a short distance, Xia Qing replied nonchalantly, "Next time for sure, next time for sure."

Human pleasure is not particularly appealing to Xia Qing now. Human senses are limited by the mortal body, and the feeling during the power conversion process alone far exceeds the upper limit of all the simple pleasures he has ever experienced.

As for promises like "next time, for sure," as everyone knows, such promises and guarantees of not standing someone up should never be trusted.

After casually teasing Xia Qing, Mio remembered the previous topic and asked curiously, "Provide an option?"

Looking at the starry sky, Xia Qing casually replied, "A choice to become an independent individual, a choice to get rid of the current name."

Come to think of it, I've found that inducing belief seems to be more effective at absorbing the power of Outer Gods than a clearly arranged one.

Upon hearing this, Mio nodded and explained, "The method you call the 'acting method' is essentially a slightly modified version of the path to godhood. During your time in the Honkai world, Yog kept playing with your body."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing subconsciously straightened up and said, "Then I'm not sleepy anymore."

Wait a minute, did I find out something incredible?

"Don't get the wrong idea~ At that time, Yog only slightly changed the shape of your ancient immortal body, giving it some characteristics of a god."

Upon hearing Mio's words, Xia Qing immediately retorted, "Your description is just trying to lead me astray, but the characteristics of a god...?"

Mio explained to Xia Qing, who was in the form of an adult version of Painmon, "Gods with divine status will become stronger by doing things that conform to their divine status. Your physical body will definitely improve faster than that of an ordinary god."

After all, you didn't become stronger from nothing; rather, you strengthened your own body by safely and harmlessly transferring the power of the ancient immortal's body.

Hearing this, Xia Qing nodded: "Indeed, it seems that I don't really need a body right now."

Mio nodded and replied, "Yes, host, now that your soul is your body, you can try to modify the divine responsibilities of the ancient immortals to a state that is more suitable for you than you were in the past."

If we're talking about methods to gain power through divinity, depending on the initial divine host, you can acquire power through recording knowledge, listening to questions and providing answers, playing a role, fooling others, and so on.

Xia Qing nodded and replied:

"To modify the godhood, we need to go to the body of the ancient immortal. It's something we can consider after this world ends. After all, the original godhood had too many stable godhoods, so there weren't many unnecessary affixes."

As the two talked, they unknowingly walked to the edge of the castle, which seemed to have no security measures in place.

Chapter 677: Paimon: I am Olga Marie, the messenger of hope

Both of them were in a state similar to spirits at this moment. Mio's figure gradually disappeared, while Xia Qing began to explore the castle of Black Jeanne's side.

This castle is not like a typical one with many guards or servants, after all, the owner of this castle is not a living person but a heroic spirit.

After finding a life force quite similar to that of Fuyuki's Caster and Saber, Xia Qing arrived at the location of the aura.

Switching to the form of the Herrscher of the Void, Xia Qing strolled through the empty castle, her footsteps echoing loudly in the silent night.

Meanwhile, in a bedroom, a silver-haired girl gazing at the moonlight looked towards the corridor.

Hearing the footsteps, she looked puzzled, clearly not understanding who would be walking in the castle at this time.

The confused girl's true identity is Jeanne Alter, also known as Black Jeanne, who is essentially a creation of the Holy Grail.

Filled with doubt, Jeanne Alter left her room and entered the empty corridor. Looking at the dark, deserted corridor, she spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction:

"Sneaking into my territory in the middle of the night without even saying hello, isn't that a bit too impolite?"

Whether you're a thief or a spy, if you come here now and clearly state your purpose, I might give you a chance to live if your purpose satisfies me.

In essence, Jeanne Alter didn't intend to scare the person lurking in the shadows out in this way. Most people who come to her territory at this time are probably spies.

There were hardly any residents near where she was, so it was highly unlikely that she was a thief. After saying this, Jeanne Alter turned around and prepared to change her clothes.

Compared to the pajamas I'm currently wearing, the battle armor is much more suitable for activities like catching thieves in the middle of the night.

"you are?"

Just as she turned to go back to her bedroom, Black Jeanne suddenly saw a strange figure sitting in a chair in her bedroom, staring at her.

"Olga Marie, I am Olga Marie, the messenger of hope. Wherever I am, the flower of hope will never wither."

Of course, I have other names besides this one, like Paimon.

What goes around comes around. Remembering the Fuyuki City warden's actions, Paimon decided to imitate him. Meanwhile, Jeanne Alter, looking at the white-haired girl version of Paimon not far away, sneered.

"Hahaha, hope messenger? What an arrogant nickname. I feel like someone with such a slogan can't be an ordinary spy."

So you, the one who brings hope, are an assassin sent by the people to kill me and stop my revenge?

Hearing this, Paimon silently shook his head: "No, no, no, I have no intention of hindering your revenge. To be precise, I want to lend you a hand and make your revenge easier."

Upon hearing this, Jeanne Alter replied somewhat nonchalantly, "There's absolutely no need for you to lend me a hand. The current battle situation is far too advantageous for me."

My wyvern is absolutely invincible, and if I could lose under these circumstances, I would be completely unworthy of the name Joan of Arc.

But if that's the case, you sneaked into my castle in the middle of the night just to lend me a hand?

If that's the case, I'm a little disappointed. I thought something interesting like an assassination attempt had happened.

Paimon, unconcerned by these words, continued, "With your current strength, dealing with the world's current enemies is indeed quite easy."

However, the enemies you have to deal with are not just those you are facing now. The last Master of humanity from the Humanity Protection Agency in the distant future has been mobilized.

So while your power is indeed formidable right now, it's far from enough to fight against those capable of creating miracles.

Hearing this, Jeanne Alter frowned: "So... Olga Marie, you mean you think I'll lose to that so-called security agency, right?"

Such a thing is impossible. I am invincible until my rage subsides, not even against some future humanitarian agency.

Looking at the rather confident Jeanne Alter in front of him, Paimon showed a somewhat helpless expression:

"It seems you're still sticking to your choice. Since you don't need my help, then consider this as compensation for the intrusion."

There is a person in Chaldea named, well, there happens to be someone with the same name as me, who possesses power that you absolutely cannot contend with right now.

"You're no match for him now, but things might change if you use some of the treasures I've collected."

Upon hearing this, Jeanne Alter's expression became somewhat subtle: "You wouldn't happen to use Olga Marie's name when you're doing something bad, would you?"

Neither Paimon nor Jeanne Alter took what Paimon was saying to heart. Would Chaldea dare to defy someone who could control the evil dragon Fafnir?

Such matters as unknown and formidable enemies should be discussed with the likes of Jill, not with this guy who suddenly appeared in his castle in the middle of the night.

Jeanne Alter, her heart filled with curses and resentment, was in no hurry to send the guy who dared to step into her territory to hell. After all, this guy seemed like he could kill some time.
