"You hand over the scepter to me first, and I'll take a look at the specific situation."

Ivia spoke carefully.

Su Xiao did not hesitate and chose to exchange. As long as the pages of the Book of Gates were not delivered, the summoning would not stop.

The moment she gained ownership and held the scepter, Ivia recognized the power of the abyss attached to it.

It is not an object of original sin, nor is it the ownerless pure power of the abyss.

"Ducaine." Ivia's mouth turned grim.

"This thing is very valuable to me. I will give it to you in exchange for whatever you want." Ivia asked directly without explaining to Su Xiao.

Su Xiao did not ask any further questions, but directly stated the requirements:

"I will be traveling to Arcane Eternal soon to participate in the Arcane Celebration. You should also be invited. In extreme circumstances, I need you to ensure my safety."

Upon hearing this, Ivia gave Su Xiao a strange look. Su Xiao had already obtained the fragments of the Origin Stone World. As long as he didn't seek death, the Supreme Being should be happy to see his growth.

Although it sounds dangerous for the Shadow of Destruction to go to Arcane Eternity, the danger level is actually not as high as Su Xiao imagined.

"I feel bad for taking this. I'll send you some soul coins after I return to Paradise. That's all."

After saying this, Ivia ended the summons and returned to the Abyss.

----

The location of the Tomb Village is at the westernmost end of Gutenberg. The route from the Tomb Village to Gutenberg is one of the many routes leading to the middle layer of the Abyss.

There are countless such entrances throughout Gutenberg.

It’s just that the Tomb Village is quite special because the Spaid family is stationed there.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, Ivia let Black Dragon follow Black Lord back to the shallow layer of the Black Abyss. Now the only ones left by her side are Saber and Clara, who were recruited not long ago.

The caravan's disguise could no longer be used, so Ivia picked up the long knife and used the magical mask to transform into Su Xiao's appearance.

Killing is inevitable in the subsequent journey, and the identity of the murderous Shadow of Destruction is just right.

Seeing Ivia's appearance change, Saber felt terrible, because the reason she was recruited out of the plot world was because the world she lived in was broken down by the people disguised as Ivia.

Although entering the Samsara Paradise made Saber realize the cyclical nature of the derivative world, the fact that the master was now disguised as Su Xiao still made Saber feel physically disgusted.

The upright Saber did not comment on Ivia's behavior, so Ivia pretended not to know and continued on.

Leaving the Tomb Village and heading east, crossing several high mountains full of bandits, a huge bloated mechanical city appeared at the end of Avia's vision.

Under the dark sky, outside the mechanical city surrounded by sewage rivers, even the air is filled with stench. It is completely different from the cemetery village with birds singing and flowers blooming across a few mountains. Even the technology is more than an era behind.

Huge floating spaceships spewing black gas, dragging bloody cargo, flew into the city from all directions, making it look extremely prosperous.

Ivia quickly passed through the buffer zone and soon arrived at the outskirts of the city.

……

"Is there delicious food in a place like this?" Ivia looked at the environment in surprise.

Saber, who had been looking serious and alert, started to twirl the hair on her head when she heard Ivia speak in an unexpected tone.

"Let's go and eat something delicious first." Instead of looking for traces of the gods, Ivia first set out on the journey of looking for delicious food.

It's just that this behavior doesn't go well.

Generally speaking, when Ivia arrives in an unfamiliar place, she can get information by politely asking any passerby.

This works even in the shallow layer of the Black Abyss. Of course, the other party is often harboring evil intentions in their hearts and will not approach Avia at all like they are doing now.

Even when Ivia accidentally dropped gold in an attempt to lure the scammer over, the various people on the metal street did not come looking for her. Instead, most of them seemed frightened and immediately ran away.

There was also a roadside shop that saw this scene and slammed its metal door shut and closed the shop.

The street cleaning effect was very significant, as if Ivia was trying to lure people over and then kill everyone on the street.

Ivia thought about it carefully and found where the problem occurred. The Tzeentch mask imitated Su Xiao's temperament very well. Now Ivia was full of blood and holding a long sword, which was extremely terrifying.

So how will Su Xiao deal with this situation?

Ivia went through it once, held back her laughter, randomly picked out an unlucky guy who was watching not far away, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, Ivia grabbed the unlucky guy's collar and put the disguised long knife on his neck.

"Warning! I'm a believer in the Church of the God of Fire, don't mess around! I'll give you all the money!"

Before Ivia could speak, the other party took the initiative, first hard and then soft, and started to explode gold coins.

"What are some famous delicacies in New York County? Tell me where they are located."

Aivia imitated Su Xiao's emotionless voice, but the questions she asked were completely inconsistent with her voice.

"The Vulcan Church's treasure trove has more than three people... huh? Gourmet food?"

The unlucky guy was halfway through his self-destruction when he began to suspect that he had heard it wrongly.

"Turn left ahead. There's a Lizard Tail BBQ restaurant that's quite tasty. It's the only one I know of."

The Vulcan cultist pointed in a direction in confusion.

"Thank you."

"Oh, oh! No need!"

The believer didn't recover until Ivia left.

Turning the corner, Ivia finally couldn't hold back her laughter. She patted Saber's shoulder and shared with her:

"How could someone be mistaken for a robber just for asking for directions? Everyone would avoid him! And he's such an unlucky bastard, hahaha! Such an unlucky bastard..."

Ivia's laughter subsided, and she felt that it wasn't that funny after all.

The Lizard Tail Barbecue restaurant pointed out by the Vulcan cultist is just around the corner, under a sign called Dragon Tail Barbecue.

Zizizi~

Before Ivia entered the store, a giant hammer with thunder in the sky smashed into the center of the city, and the tallest building collapsed under the attack of the giant hammer.

Avia only took one look and knew that it was the Star God causing trouble, but Avia didn't know enough about this city at the moment, so she didn't plan to care about it for the time being.

The lizardman in the shop was also startled by the huge noise and rushed out of the house, just in time to meet Avia.

"Are you still doing business?"

Ivia asked directly.

The lizardman looked at the long sword at Ivia's waist, then looked at the collapsed high-rise building in the distance, then stuck out his forked tongue and replied:

"Do, what do you want to eat?"

Entering the store, in a not very spacious space, there is a menu hanging on the wall. The Vulcan cultists said it was a lizard tail, but everything on the menu was named after a dragon tail.

"First, a plate of fried dragon tail, and then a plate of grilled dragon tail."

Ivia ordered two dishes whose prices changed more than once. Either no one ate these dishes, or there were too many people eating them, so the restaurant had to change the prices.

"By the way, your ingredients shouldn't be chopped from your fellow lizardmen. I don't eat the meat of intelligent species."

Aiweiya asked casually.

The lizardman boss, who had returned to the house to prepare food, heard this, took off his apron, slashed the chopping board with his knife, and cursed:

"What lizard? I used flying dragon meat!"

Aivia had an indifferent expression and silently touched the hilt of the knife.

The shop owner's arrogance immediately shrank back, and he put on his apron and began to explain:

"Lizardmen use their tails to support their bodies in battle, so the skeleton of their tails is very thick and the meat is very tough and not as tasty as ordinary lizard tails."

Bang!

While the boss was explaining, sounds of smashing and fighting were heard on the street outside the store.

"It's just a building that collapsed, why is there such a sudden chaos?"

Ivia asked in passing.

"The building that collapsed was the Hunter Guild's building. Now there's a turf war going on outside!"

The lizardman boss was very calm. He answered Ivia while chopping the long tail meat.

puff!

The shredded lizard tail meat was poured into the hot oil pan. The aroma wafted over from across the counter. Ivia seemed to see the fresh tail meat curling up after being fried.

Wow!

A corpse was smashed into the open door of the shop, and blood was flowing at Ivia's feet. The owner of the shop just brought the oil dragon tail to Ivia's table.

"Do you mind? If you don't mind, I'll go back and grill the food. If you do mind, I'll clean up."

The shop owner asked, pointing at the body.

Ivia shook her head lightly. Now covered in blood, she didn't care about it. Instead, Saber frowned, dragged the corpse's feet out of the house, and picked up the mop by the door to sweep away the seeping blood.
