"Give it a try."

Rebecca sighed. She had no expectations for this side plan of beating up the evil god puppet. The Lord of Delusion had most likely already considered this. Even if the evil god puppet was smashed to pieces, it might not be able to stop the abnormal weather caused by his power.

More and more dark clouds gathered in the sky, and some winding lightning bolts were already slithering through them.

"Ora!" Without saying a word, Leona punched the struggling evil god puppet, hitting it squarely in the stomach.

Leona's strength was undeniable. With her punch, a third of the evil god puppet's body instantly turned into black mud, and the puppet was broken in half at the waist, its upper body falling to the ground.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

However, his roaring did not stop, and the dark clouds in the sky showed no sign of dissipating.

Chapter 384 A Deadlock

"What's all the noise about!" Leona kicked the evil god puppet in the head again, the immense force turning his upper body into a pulp.

But the result was not unexpected. Although Leona destroyed the puppet's body structure, its roar remained unaffected.

His voice seemed to appear out of nowhere from where he had just been, and it was even higher than before.

"I'm going to make a name for myself! Make a name for myself!"

“This guy’s body is completely unimportant.” Rebecca frowned, looking up at the increasingly dense clouds in the sky. “Leona, there’s no need to hit him anymore; it’s just a waste of energy.”

"Um……"

The black mud on the ground began to wriggle together, gradually reassembling into the body of the evil god puppet.

Leona's beating had absolutely no effect.

……

The dark clouds in the sky had become so thick that they could no longer be ignored; half of the sky was already obscured, and a sense of oppression from the celestial phenomena made all the residents in the vicinity raise their heads.

"Why did it suddenly become cloudy?" some people said in surprise. "There was no sign of rain just now."

"Quickly protect the flower fields! This rain is going to be heavy!" Some farmers realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately took action, covering their flower fields with a folding rainproof canopy made in the Eastern Empire.

Abyss sat in the hotel, looking out the window, and sighed softly.

The Lord of Delusion certainly doesn't want the Abyss to actually fulfill Flora's wish, so the puppet He sent out this time must be very difficult to deal with.

He had been watching live the entire process of his subordinates trying to deal with the puppet, and the fact that their methods failed was entirely unexpected.

The Lord of Delusion has limited power; His divine power cannot cause great destruction.

That being said, it doesn't take much effort to disrupt someone's daily life and good mood.

Abyss considered going out to check on Rebecca and the others to see if he could be of any help.

But in order for Flora to be able to enjoy the holiday she has been looking forward to, Abyss cannot leave her side now.

It wouldn't be right to leave Flora alone in an empty room during the impending downpour.

Flora is still sleeping. Last night, Abyss kept her chatting, which had left her quite tired. It's just unknown how much longer she can sleep peacefully like this.

Once the abnormal celestial phenomena created by that evil god puppet begin to erupt, who knows what kind of scene it will be?

……

"What should we do?" Leona paced back and forth, looking at the evil god puppet that had been restored to its original state.

The evil god puppet is currently tightly bound by the vines summoned by Agnes, unable to move, and its mouth is also covered.

But covering his mouth didn't help; his shouting didn't stop, and it was getting annoying.

“This guy has absolutely no flaws…” Rebecca frowned, now at a loss as well. “I thought that since the location information of this evil god puppet was exposed before, other information might also be exposed, but I was a bit too optimistic.”

"I'm sucking the air out of the room." Even Agnes, who usually had a pair of animal ears perked up on her head, couldn't stand the annoying shouting anymore. She canceled the transformation spell to avoid hearing the four-channel roar.

She cast a spell on the evil god puppet, temporarily creating a vacuum around it.

But the roaring didn't stop. The sound wasn't traveling through the air at all.

With each roar of this evil god puppet, the dark clouds in the sky grew thicker.

In just a short while, the entire sky had turned completely dark.

The dawn that had just arrived in this region has now turned back into night.

Because the clouds were so thick, no sunlight could penetrate, making it impossible to see anything on the ground.

Rumble...

The dull rumble of thunder came from time to time, and bright flashes of lightning repeatedly ripped through the darkness, briefly illuminating the ground.

“We must find more information about this guy…” Rebecca forced herself to calm down. Now was not the time to complain or be frustrated. She had to find out more about this evil god puppet before it caused more damage, to determine its origins and even its background, so that she could find the right solution and break the curse.

“I have already contacted the experts in Eternal Night City.” Abyss’s voice came through the shared mind at this moment. “Now you should observe this puppet carefully. The experts will analyze its possible birthplace and residence based on its physical characteristics.”

“Okay! I’ll think of a way to see if I can dig out more information!” Rebecca nodded.

"Oh, by the way, Sheila just finished resting, so I asked her to come here to have a picnic with us. She knows the current situation, and she can come over if you need her help."

"Is Sheila alright? No, don't bring her over yet. Let her stay here for a while. She just arrived and already has to face this terrible weather. Don't let her face this annoying evil god puppet again—he's shouting so loudly, it's incredibly annoying."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on things here."

"You should spend more time with Flora. Have you thought about how to comfort her later? She'll definitely be a little disappointed when she wakes up—there's no way we can go on a picnic in this weather."

“Leave Flora to me,” Abyss said. “Now we can only hope that this evil god puppet won’t cause any trouble that’s obviously the work of an evil god.”

After ending her communication with the Abyss, Rebecca once again began circling the evil god's puppet.

Although we are currently helpless against this person, theoretically speaking, there is no enemy without flaws.

The fact that no flaws can be found now can only mean that the Lord of Delusion has used some method to hide this person's flaws—or rather, that his flaws are actually there, but have simply been overlooked.

So, what are some easily overlooked details about this person?

"What are you thinking about?" Leona asked Rebecca curiously. "Is there anything else we can find out about this guy? The style of his clothes? You're from the Eastern Empire, you should know where this style comes from, right?"

“No.” Rebecca shook her head. “The Eastern Empire has a very developed commercial sector, with frequent trade and transportation. The clothes he’s wearing are made from materials from various regions, so it’s impossible to determine where they came from.”

"Ugh..." Leona glanced at the evil god puppet with disappointment, then said angrily, "Can you stop for a second? Isn't it annoying to keep yelling like this!"

The evil god puppet's roar did stop for a moment, but after glancing at Leona, it started yelling again as if no one else was around.

"A meteoric rise! A meteoric rise!"

"Ugh! I can't take it anymore! This is the most annoying evil god puppet I've ever encountered!" Leona angrily ruffled her long silver hair.

Chapter 385 Sheila is here

"Miss Flora looks so cute when she sleeps. I've never seen her sleep like that before."

Sheila stood by Flora's bedside, gazing intently at the still-sleeping Flora, and sighed.

Abyss smiled, looking at Flora who was sleeping soundly in bed.

When Flora was a saint in the Holy See, even her sleeping posture was strictly regulated. She was required to lie flat on her back or on her side in a manner that would not compromise her ladylike status. She could not twist her body or bend her legs at will.

Now that she is no longer bound by her saintly status, she can sleep in her favorite position—her body curled up, half of her face buried in the soft pillow, her long golden hair casually spread out, and even breathing coming from her nose.

“She herself really wanted to relax during this holiday, and I’m quite happy to see her sleeping like this,” Abis said to Sheila. “Even normally, she’s not very relaxed because of her habits, but these past two days she’s finally been able to act like a normal girl.”

“The saintess has really had a tough time,” Sheila said sincerely. “Compared to Miss Flora, I feel that the difficulties I went through before are nothing.”

“Every family has its own problems, and there’s no need to compare difficulties—you always have to face them, and you always have to overcome them,” Abis said with a smile. “Aside from that, how’s your recovery going?”

“I’m ready to use my abilities again,” Sheila said softly but firmly to Abyss, sitting on a chair on the other side of the room. “I recovered after resting for three days in Evernight City, but Miss Rebecca asked me to rest for ten days. I spent the remaining seven days wandering around the city. Everyone in the city was very friendly and didn’t reject me because I’m a living person.”

“That’s good.” Abis nodded and said, “I originally wanted to invite you out for a picnic with us, but it looks like the picnic might have to be postponed.”

The thickness of the dark clouds outside the window was no longer visible; they completely blocked out all the sunlight.

Even the air was starting to feel thick and heavy; the rain was about to fall. With such thick clouds, the rainfall would likely be exceptionally heavy.

“The evil god's puppet…” Sheila used the ring that Abyss had given her to access Abyss's mind sharing and said to him, “If Miss Rebecca and the others don't have any clues, I can go and take a look. Maybe they'll find some breakthroughs.”

“Rebecca doesn’t really want you to go. She thinks you should be here for a picnic, not to work,” Abyss told Sheila. “So you should stay here with us and wait for Rebecca and the others to take care of that evil god puppet.”

“Okay…” Sheila nodded. “I can stay here too, ready to play my part at any time.”

Sheila was always thinking about using her abilities when she was with the Abyss.

This wasn't because she was overly attentive; rather, being around someone as capable as the Abyss, she always wanted to do something to prove her own value, rather than being a burden. Although this bloodline ability was extremely tiring to activate, Sheila enjoyed it, because each time she used it, she felt her indispensable worth.

“You can think with us about what information we can extract from that evil god puppet,” Abyss said to Sheila. “You’ve also received the sensory information Rebecca sent back earlier. If we all work together, we might just make a breakthrough.”

"Hmm... let me think about it." Hearing that she had something to do, Sheila immediately began to think seriously.

His clothing made it impossible to determine his exact origin; his appearance was exactly that of a person from the Eastern Empire; his voice was just a very hoarse, middle-aged man's voice; and his scent indicated only that he was lifeless and what he had eaten that morning.

So, where exactly might more information be discovered?

A flash of lightning suddenly illuminated the room, making it blindingly bright for a brief moment.

Rumble!

A thunderclap resounded, like the sound of an attacking drum, and raindrops the size of beans began to pour down from the thick, dark clouds.

rumbling...

The sound of the torrential rain hitting the ground was not a gentle patter or splash, but a huge roar as if thousands of military drums were being struck at the same time.

Raindrops pattered against the hotel windows, creating a thick curtain of water.

Flora opened her eyes at that moment.

"It's so dark... What time is it now?" She rubbed her eyes, looking at Abyss in confusion.

She clearly remembered that the sky was already turning light before she went back to sleep, so how come it suddenly got so dark after she took a nap?

Did you sleep for a whole day?

But she quickly realized that it seemed to be raining heavily.

“It’s past seven o’clock now, it’s still early, why don’t you take a nap?” Abis looked at Flora gently. “It’s raining outside, so our picnic plans may have to be postponed a little.”
