Kollridge pressed one hand to his forehead, feeling a strange pain stimulating his mind and driving him uncontrollably into madness.
He looked up and saw his daughter, who was close at hand, and her friends. Suddenly, a violent urge arose in his heart to unleash his original sin and destroy everything.
"This is……"
Kollridge suddenly froze, his eyes gradually turning bloodshot.
Seeing his strange appearance, Yukihime couldn't help but panic.
"Don't scare me, Dad?"
It's hard for her not to panic.
Everything before her eyes showed that her father was completely different from the father she knew.
At this moment, she seemed to be standing on a clifftop castle. The castle was magnificent and imposing, but the giant rock supporting it could collapse at any moment, swallowing the castle and her along with it.
Loria was on high alert.
Kollrich is very strong; even among C-rank adventurers, he's considered one of the strongest.
She felt that even if she used all her strength, she might not be able to escape from Kollridge, but she still needed to be vigilant.
Fortunately, Kollridge's unusual condition did not last long.
The bloodshot in his eyes faded even faster than when it had been covered.
Then, he gently pushed Yuki away and stood up from the ground, as if the broken bone had no effect on him whatsoever.
"dad?"
Yukihime tried to reach out and grab him, but her hand froze in mid-air after only extending halfway.
She watched as Kollridge walked over to a charred deep-space object, squatted down, and started stroking the dark scratches on the ground while letting out a strange laugh.
"Failure, it was still a failure."
"Ah, this."
Loria was a little confused.
Could he have gone mad because the experiment failed?
That's not right.
In previous simulations, she pushed forward the dates much later than now, but she never heard Miss Fat Sheep say that her father had gone mad.
It wouldn't be right to say that he was influenced by her actions.
Take the simulation of torturing Dr. Mara as an example. That time, she and Dr. Mara stayed in the laboratory all day testing each other's abilities and didn't go anywhere else.
Yesterday, she also spent half the night in the lab with Dr. Mara. Although they did different things, their movements were roughly the same.
It would be too strange to say that Kollridge's experiment was affected by such a small difference.
Loria moved a few steps to the side, next to Miss Fat Sheep.
Seeing that Miss Fat Sheep's face turned white and then black, she quickly nudged Miss Fat Sheep's face with her buttocks.
"Calm down. If something really happens, just climb onto my back."
The reason Loria used her buttocks instead of her hands to slap the fat sheep was definitely not because she wanted to seduce the fat sheep.
The main reason was that the situation was urgent, and she was ready to fight Korlich with her bare hands at any time, so she dared not show the slightest weakness.
The oppressive atmosphere eased slightly as Kollridge's laughter subsided.
The magic professor, who had been squatting on the ground, stood up again. He walked around the dilapidated laboratory, seemingly trying to confirm something. With each place he passed, the smile on his face grew wider.
When he returned to Miss Fat Sheep, he was once again the confident gentleman he always was.
"Yukihime, don't worry, Dad isn't crazy."
"..."
Loria increasingly felt that Kollridge had gone mad.
But then Coleridge said, "Although this experiment failed, I gained an unexpected benefit during the process. This is definitely the greatest day in the history of magical research!"
You still say you're not crazy?
Loria took a half step back, using half of her body to firmly protect Miss Fat Sheep.
Koorridge continued, "I have successfully separated spiritual power from magic. Just as I suspected, the reason we can use magic is because magic inherently contains spiritual power, a power that grows wildly, madly, and unrestrainedly in the void. I have successfully opened a door. Now, as long as we can implant our own spiritual power into magic, we can all become our own gods!"
This time, Kollic didn't give off a crazy vibe.
Loria saw confidence in him; she even saw a radiant glow in Koorridge, like the sun itself.
Be your own god?
Good guy.
In the eyes of the Goddess Cult, this is a hundred times more insane than those who shout to kill God.
If everyone becomes a god, what's the point of having goddesses?
This is no ordinary magician...
Whether I use a heavy hand or not is none of my business.
Loria curled her lip. She had no reverence for the goddess. All she cared about now was whether Kollridge had gone mad, whether he was connected to the slave trade, and whether they were safe.
Miss Fat Sheep asked the question that was on her mind first.
"This isn't the dad I know!"
Kollrich was still smiling: "Snow Princess, I've always told you since you were little that once you've set your mind on something, you must do your best to achieve it! My biggest dream is to figure out the essence of magic and use it to create an unprecedented and glorious human civilization. For this, I've been doing research, day after day, year after year. Although I'm still far from that goal, just now, I finally saw the hope of success."
These words reassured Miss Sheep that her father was still the same father, but that her understanding of him had been too one-sided before.
But it was precisely because of this that she felt even more terrified.
"The thing on this wall..."
"It is human tissue used for experiments."
Kollridge made no attempt to hide anything.
"Well--"
Miss Fat Sheep quickly covered her mouth, her stomach churning so badly she almost vomited.
Fortunately, she was still able to hold onto Loria's hand tightly, and feeling the warmth from her wrist, she finally recovered.
"Why, why would you do such a thing? They are living, breathing people, and you've used them for experiments!"
Miss Fat Sheep shouted and was about to rush forward.
"A living, breathing person?"
Kollridge was stunned.
Loria reacted quickly and grabbed Miss Fat Sheep.
"Don't rush."
No matter how much Miss Fat Sheep struggled, she couldn't escape Loria's grasp. After being slapped twice on the buttocks, Miss Fat Sheep simply gave up struggling.
But she didn't give Loria a friendly look, and seemed ready to bite Loria's thigh at any moment.
Coleridge said, “Human experimentation is considered taboo by the Church, but the Imperial government has never prohibited it. Moreover, I am buying tissues from recently deceased prisoners, allowing these people who committed serious crimes in life to contribute to the future of all mankind after death. Isn’t that atonement?”
"You're still trying to deny it!"
Miss Fat Sheep was furious.
Loria had no choice but to pinch her butt again.
It's not a shameful thing to bully someone else's daughter in front of her father, but Loria had no choice but to do it.
"Calm down, he might not be lying."
"Snow Princess," Corridge said. "It seems you have some misunderstanding about me."
Miss Fat Sheep snorted coldly: "Have you heard of the famous wine tasting club case recently?"
Kollridge nodded.
Miss Fat Sheep said, "Your name is on the ledgers you got from there. You have close ties with that kind of place, and you still say you're innocent!"
Kollridge calmly replied, "I didn't handle the purchase of human tissue myself. I used connections to get the finance minister's help. But you, being able to see the accounts, means that you were the ones who did the wine tasting club business."
"I……"
Miss Fat Sheep was left speechless by the question.
Has it been exposed?
Loria has no intention of coming forward to admit it.
Coleridge said, "Forget it, that kind of thing isn't important. Time is of the essence. I need to conduct the second experiment as soon as possible. I'm confident that I can pass the test and join the Magic Exchange Association. If you don't have anything else to do, you should leave here to avoid getting caught in the crossfire."
A thought flashed through Loria's mind.
She hurriedly asked, "Could I inquire about that Magic Exchange Association?"
As he tidied up the lab, Kohlridge said, "Go ahead and ask."
"What exactly does that association do?"
"It's an association where people can freely discuss magical insights, at least on the surface. They have beliefs that are completely different from ordinary people, and they also possess some novel and extraordinary magic. The method of separating magic power and spirit is what I researched from the entrance exam questions they gave us."
"A different faith?"
"They worship a crazy, unrestrained god."
"Could it be the goddess of madness and indulgence?"
Loria blurted it out.
"Ok?"
Kohlrich was puzzled.
But Loria's heart was already boiling. If the Magic Exchange Association was really the work of the Mad and Indulgent Goddess Cult, then what did they want to do by gathering so many magicians together?
She doesn't have much time left; she must investigate quickly.
