It seems she gained something from this trip to Cat Island, perhaps even grasping a glimpse of the mysteries of miracle divination, otherwise she wouldn't have arranged the location so perfectly.

Activating ten teleportation spells in succession allows one to traverse a hundred kilometers in the blink of an eye, a speed many times faster than epic flight. Even for Bai Shaqilai, this consumes a considerable amount of magic power.

As far as he knew, legendary masters of spellcasting could generally achieve supersonic flight with their physical bodies, starting at one times the speed of sound, increasing to two times with advanced practitioners, and reaching nearly three times the speed of sound at their peak, which is 1 kilometer per second.

Epic-level spellcasters start at three times the speed of sound, with six times the speed of sound being their peak level, and the fastest being 2 kilometers per second.

In other words, even if Herwiz could find him using the magical mark on her body, it would still take her more than eight minutes to fly there at full speed.

Thinking of this, Lyon glanced at Bai Shaqilai, whose face was slightly pale, next to him.

Her magic power is so depleted, and her legendary poem has been corrupted by a high-level demon. Should I ambush her?

It seems that this won't work. Her physical attributes are basically twice that of mine, a gap that can't be bridged by technique.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Bai Shaqilai noticed his gaze and looked over suspiciously.

"It's nothing. I just suddenly felt that your buttocks were surprisingly perky. When you grabbed me in a hurry just now, I accidentally bumped into them. The feeling was really wonderful, an excellent touch that I have never experienced before."

Lyon immediately changed the subject.

Bai Shaqilai's face immediately flushed red, and her eyes widened in disbelief:

"You still dare to flirt with me at a time like this? I can only say that your reputation as a womanizer is well-deserved! Let's go! I thought that since you could grasp the essence of miracle divination, you must be someone who appears to be a playboy but is actually determined and has lofty goals. It seems that I overestimated you before!"

She grabbed Leon and teleported away quickly, saying as she did so:

"Disappointing, utterly disappointing!"

[Villain Bai Shaqi Lai's favorability +2%, current favorability 39%]

Hey, you're saying you're disappointed, but your favorability rating is skyrocketing?

Indeed, most creatures are all talk and no action.

Lyon remarked that the art of flattery has been used in all countries throughout history, and there is indeed a reason for it.

However, he estimated that if his favorability rating had been lower and he hadn't shown the charm of a miracle astrologer, this kind of teasing might have resulted in him being beaten to death.

"So, Lady Baishaqilai, are you going to take me directly to the ruins of the gods?"

"Leon asked."

"That's right, I couldn't hide it from you, the miracle astrologer. But you don't seem to be able to use magic right now, so how did you know that? Did you divine here before?"

"Of course, I did divination as soon as I first heard about this ruin. You may not know, but I have a natural magic power surge disorder. I have so much magic power that it's practically free. Even if I use up all my life-seeing power, I can still do divination many times a day."

"Do you know the specific entry path?"

Bai Shaqilai's eyes revealed a competitive intent.

Although she was impressed by the wonder of Leon's miracle divination a week ago, she couldn't immediately submit to him completely, assuming that her own divination skills were inferior to Leon's.

After all, the difference in levels is undeniable.

Therefore, she still wants to reclaim her supreme interpretive authority in this field.

"You jest. Even if I knew, so what? Without your strength, I couldn't open the entrance."

Lyon replied casually. In reality, he only knew how Machiru activated the magic using divine power, but since Bai Shaqilai was able to bring him here, it was clear that she had already divined a way to enter without using divine power magic.

What he knew in his previous life was only the approximate location after it was activated.

Bai Shaqilai nodded slightly. Sure enough, he even knew that the entrance required legendary strength or above to open.

This is the level that Lyon Berlón should be at.

His teasing just now was probably just to ease the tension I felt after my magic was greatly depleted.

That's what she was thinking.

Ever since Leon introduced the concept of the Miracle Astrologer and repeatedly proved that he did indeed possess this ability, she viewed Leon with an air of mystery and enigma.

Although she still had a significant advantage in terms of strength, she would no longer treat Leon with the same casual and frivolous attitude she had before.

Because she always felt that Leon, like herself, was just putting on an act with his frivolous appearance, and that he actually had his own profound and ambitious goals and was a lofty and aloof person. Although there was no concrete evidence of this, it did not stop her from unconsciously thinking in this direction.

Of course, she would continue to investigate Lyon to verify her judgment.

For a divination technique, the more accurately one understands a person, the more accurate the information one can divination will be; this is almost an instinct.

As she spoke, she had already grabbed Leon and arrived at the entrance of a well-hidden cave at the foot of the mountain. She waved her hand to erase the surrounding traces and then flashed inside.

In the dark, deep cave, the sound of soft footsteps echoed from the far end.

"I'm asking you, do you know why I brought you here?"

"Firstly, because the mysterious ruins can shield Helvie's mental magic marks; secondly, because you intend to resolve the demonic problem within the divine ruins? Before that, would you like to see if my Miracle Divination can be of any use to you? And perhaps learn the essence of Miracle Divination along the way? And finally, find a time-related treasure?"

"clever!"

Bai Shaqilai was very satisfied with Leon's answer. As an astrologer who was used to working alone, someone who could understand her without needing to say a word was just what she wanted.

"So do you think I can succeed this time?"

"The chances are not small. If you advance your rank here and succeed, even if you can't defeat Herwiz, you might still have some means to contend with her."

As Lyon spoke, he was also pondering which side he should help.

The current situation is that two bosses are vying for control of him.

Judging from their talents and current strength, Herwiz is naturally superior, even to an excessive degree.

The differences are significant, both in terms of magical counters and attribute strength.

However, Bai Shaqilai has two rare professions, so her future potential is not low. If she can successfully improve and update her divination theory this time, and successfully advance using a time-based treasure, her strength will increase by leaps and bounds, and she will definitely be strong.

Although Lyon pretends to be knowledgeable about divination, if he wants to perfect a theory, he will probably need to work with Baisaqilai, who has accumulated a century of experience.

As the originator, even if I cooperate with her, the benefits I can share in the credit will be enormous, which will accelerate the improvement process and bring considerable advantages. The task can also be completed quickly.

From a purely economic perspective, the benefits of helping Bai Shaqilai are quite obvious now.

Most importantly, Herwiz's yandere nature is very risky and has a strong destructive power.

She had previously wanted to kill Ophimasso, but after my persuasion, she probably wouldn't hurt her now even if I wasn't around. But it's hard to say what she might decide in the future.

So, I have to stand on Bai Shaqilai's side?

No, no, what if Herwiz were to become a complete yandere? Wouldn't that be an even greater risk?

For a moment, Lyon was also in a dilemma.

At this moment, Bai Shaqilai asked again:

“I’ve started trying your divination methods these past few days, focusing all my efforts on divining those key figures in the future. I’ve made some new discoveries about these people. For example, each of the women who came to save you last time holds a pivotal position in the overall future. So, you initially dealt with them to facilitate obtaining sufficient anchoring intelligence from them?”

"If you think so, then so be it."

Bai Shaqilai glanced at Lyon sideways. If it was true, then were some of the rumors about his promiscuity false?

But the sounds he made with Iris in the cell earlier didn't seem fake.

Was it a deliberate act to lower my guard?

[Villain Bai Shaqi Lai's favorability +1%, current favorability 40%]

"Speaking of the commotion in the west of the city last time, who were the people who went there?"

"Leon asked."

Bai Shaqilai pondered for a moment and said, "An unknown female epic, a dragon legend, a halfling at the sixth level, the third saintess, a fifth-level witch, your beloved Iris... and a younger sister who looks very cute. I can't divine anything about that younger sister. What is her background? I heard her call you 'brother' from afar?"

Kekeqi?

Surprisingly, even Bai Shaqilai's legendary divination techniques had no effect on Kekeqi.

How should I put it to be more appropriate?

Obviously, it's impossible to say that Kekeqi is just an ordinary person and therefore didn't gain anything, because once Baishaqilai discovers the truth in the future, it will definitely cause her hard-earned reputation as a miracle astrologer to plummet.

Lyon remained calm and said, "If you truly want to master the art of miracle divination, I cannot give you the answer. I can only say that if you succeed in your divination, you will surely reap great rewards."

"Oh? Then that's something to look forward to."

Bai Shaqilai seemed lost in thought, her pink cat ears, as white as velvet, sticking up at the tips.

As they spoke, the two quickly traversed the cave passage and arrived at the end of one of the passages.

As Bai Shaqilai waved her staff, a dazzling white magical light flashed, and the moss and vines at the end seemed to come alive, spreading out layer by layer to reveal a seemingly ordinary door—the hidden entrance to the divine ruins.

If you didn't know in advance, it would be easy to be blinded by these vines, assume it's the end, and then turn around and leave.

The gate was ten meters long and six meters wide, with doors opening to the left and right. The material was cold, hard, and pale white, with a heavy and solid feel. There were no words engraved on it, but Lyon knew that the gate was forged from the bones of a powerful legendary monster.

In his previous life, he had read information on the forum that this gate was three meters thick and contained a powerful sealing magic array, which even legendary experts could not easily push open.

However, Bai Shaqilai doesn't have this problem. Although her strength isn't top-tier among the legendary, her divination skills can detect magical energy channels, allowing her to skillfully enter them.

She had clearly prepared for this in advance. Without any fancy moves, she pushed the door open with her hand, and the seemingly unstoppable door slowly slid open. A ray of aurora shone through the crack in the door and slowly shone onto the faces of the two people.

The aurora reflected on the face presents endless scenes, as if the vast world has been condensed into a beam of light and focused here, dreamlike and magnificent.

Only 3 minutes passed between exiting the teleportation array and opening the portal.

Meanwhile, Herwiz was still chasing Leon's magical mark, traversing the entire expansive 41 floors.

……

This is the sacred mural.

After Hervey left without regard for anything and chased after Lyon, the concealing magic she left around Ophimaso quickly lost its effect over time.

At that time, Ophimasso was still immersed in the resonant power of the sacred murals, eagerly absorbing all the essence of her legendary combat technique.

Because she wasn't very skilled at disassembling, even with the Deep Wonder Mode buff, her efficiency was still far inferior to Leon's. After most of the day had passed, she still hadn't fully grasped it.

Even so, this efficiency far exceeded that of her training alone, successfully pushing the progress from 60% or 70% to 80% of the refinement level. As a legendary combat skill, this efficiency is quite remarkable.

This legendary combat skill is called Blade of Annihilation. It is a top-tier legendary combat skill, and if used well, it can even rival the power of some epic combat skills.

After all, even with the Miracle Mode buff, this combat skill was extremely difficult for her to learn under normal circumstances, and her progress was slow.

suddenly--

"Huh, why is there suddenly another person?"

"That's right, they weren't here just a moment ago, how come there's someone here in the blink of an eye?"

"Hey, who are you? How did you get in here?"

Several paladins from the Papacy slowly gathered around Ophimaso, drew their swords, and looked on warily.

"Wait, I recognize her."

The Ninth Saintess, Cynthia, who had walked over, suddenly said:

"She is the second princess, Ophimasso. Don't be nervous, everyone. The royal family has been cooperating with us recently. Perhaps Britta has granted her the right to use her."

……

Moments later, Ophie Marceau, who had just woken up and realized that Herwiz and Leon had suddenly disappeared, nearly went crazy.

Following the unseen connection between her soul and Leon, she strode away from the sacred mural and ran with all her might towards a place a thousand miles away.

As she ran, her gentle and lovely face was filled with regret.

Even though Herwiz seemed to have a good attitude towards Lyon before, if the sacred mural is not handled properly, it will definitely cause some problems.

Herwiz had wanted to kill him in a moment of impulse. If she hadn't gained any insight from the sacred mural, wouldn't she also want to kill Leon?

Thinking about this, she felt increasingly depressed, as if something was blocking her chest.

How could I be so engrossed in combat skills that I neglected to pay attention to the outside world?

"Honey, you absolutely can't get hurt!"

As her mood shifted, the shackles on her mind were broken by her second personality. Her long, flowing golden hair flew up, and surging magic burst forth. She seemed to be burning with life, and her speed increased faster and faster.

……

At the same time.

On a desolate road outside the city of Bolas in Sambor.
