What if you ascend to the wrong world?

Is it in this dark night that Ye Tu is so wary of 'arrogance'?

"what happened?"

"...It's nothing." The Goddess of Light's tone became somewhat serious.

"I just suddenly realized that I may have underestimated him before."

Before this, He valued only the authority of original sin itself.

As for 'lust', 'wrath', and even 'pride', He didn't pay much attention to them.

After all, the maximum strength revealed by 'lust' and 'rage' is only slightly higher than that of an ordinary demigod, and does not even reach the level of a true god.

Not to mention comparing them to the supreme true gods.

Even if arrogance completely takes over power, how powerful can it really be?

But now, even Dark Night is saying so...

"Besides that, did He say anything else?"

"He believes that the essence of the corruption of the ancient gods is lust, indulgence and depravity, which is different from the distortion, corruption and depravity you mentioned before."

"..."

He pondered for a moment.

"No, the 'pollution of the ancient gods' that I felt was essentially distortion, corruption, and depravity."

This is the result He saw with His own eyes and studied for many years; it cannot be false.

His distorted oracles, and the extra saint in the Church of Light, are proof of that.

"It's also possible that the astral plane is different from hell."

In fact, Ye Tu had been thinking about this ever since he met the God of Darkness.

Perhaps extreme desires and indulgences, distortions and corruptions are all part of the 'pollution of the ancient gods'.

"...It's possible."

Although He insists on His own views, He does not arbitrarily conclude that the night is wrong.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, another three days have passed.

Daphne's private workshop.

A three-legged, two-eared alchemy furnace, covered with cloud patterns and nearly two meters tall, replaced the original enormous boiler.

It stands out from its surroundings.

Daphne circled the alchemy furnace once, then gently tapped the furnace body, producing a clear and melodious sound.

"very nice."

The secret forging techniques of the Ice Warriors clan are indeed well-deserved.

"If there are no problems, please sign it."

Irene Vitte handed over the contract.

After these days of getting acquainted, she has fully adapted to life on Skye Island.

Half of her snow-white hair, which originally reached her ankles, was cut off and simply tied into a high ponytail.

She looks very capable.

"If you encounter any problems during use, you can come to me. I will provide free maintenance for three years."

"Uh-huh."

Daphne took the contract and signed her name neatly.

"Didn't the president arrange for you to study at the academy? Everyone's on holiday now, right?"

“I refused,” Irene Vitte said calmly.

"You refused?"

Daphne was somewhat surprised.

"why?"

Sending her to the academy for further studies was just a formality.

The purpose was to give her a formal identity so that she could prepare for formally joining the Mage Association later.

"That's not what I want."

Irene Vitte retrieved the signed contract.

She knew very well that as long as she followed the path that Kearon had laid out for her, she was very likely to become the next president of the Mage Association.

At the very least, he would be a vice president.

but!

None of these are what she wants.

She left the Dawn Empire because she had signed a contract with Ye Tu.

At the same time, it was also to find an answer and see this completely different world.

That's it.

"Any other questions?"

She paused, then added.

"Regarding the alchemy furnace."

"Well, we'll have to try it to know," Daphne said, pointing to the side.

"Mind waiting for me a moment?"

"can."

Irene Vitte retreated to the window.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a plate of pastries on the table. After a slight hesitation, she reached out and picked up a piece.

She loved eating sweets when she was little.

But she hasn’t eaten sweets since her father failed to return fifteen years ago.

It's not that I don't like it anymore.

The main reason is that after that day, she maintained the state of being armed with divine artifacts most of the time.

Everyone around her is afraid of her.

And for some reason, they all seemed to think that she didn't like sweets.

Because it was a minor matter, she didn't bother to correct it, and over time she even forgot that she liked sweets.

It was only after Ivia treated them to dinner and they had dessert that she remembered.

Daphne did not notice Irene Wett's subtle movements.

Snapped!

With a snap of his fingers, a bright flame leaped up beneath the alchemy furnace as dense fire-attribute magic gathered.

Bear!

The heatwave was intense, and the air itself was visibly distorted by the heat.

The cloud patterns on the surface of the alchemy furnace lit up rapidly.

Daphne skillfully tossed the potion ingredients into it and began refining the medicinal properties.

Her powerful mental strength as an eleventh-level Saint Archmage allowed her to precisely control every change within the alchemy furnace. Every movement she made was as smooth as flowing water, a sight to behold.

Less than ten minutes.

boom!

With a muffled thud, the elixir burst forth, and the rosy light shimmered like mist.

Several glittering pills floated out and, guided by spiritual power, landed precisely in the jade pill bottle with a tinkling sound.

really!

The problem lies with the alchemy furnace.

Refining pills using a boiler before wouldn't have been this fast!

Moreover, the pills refined this time...

Does this seem normal?

At this moment, Irene Vitte also came closer and glanced at the jade elixir bottle in her hand.

Daphne noticed her gaze:

"Want to give it a try?"

She had a feeling that this time the Nourishing Spirit Pill would definitely work!

"Need not."

A few days ago, Ivy turned completely red after accidentally ingesting one of the pills here, and she hasn't recovered yet.

"If there are no problems, I'll be going now."

"Ok."

It seems we'll have to find some more guinea pigs to try.

Shortly after, Irene Vitte left the workshop.

Daphne also came to the window, intending to relax with a snack and a cup of tea before beginning to study the newly refined elixir.

however……

Where are the snacks?

Looking at the few gleaming gold coins on the plate, Daphne fell into deep thought.

……

……

after a while.

On the outer ring of Sky Island, there is a small shop called [Atheran Workshop].

"So you're really not taking us this time?"

Completely covered up, wearing gloves, a mask, and a hat, Ivia was listlessly slumped on the counter.

No wonder Yetu asked her to convey the divine message, forbidding anyone from interfering in the affairs of the Saint Kru Empire.

It turned out that he himself was going to the Saint-Kru Empire.

“This matter is rather special, and it is deeply involved with the ‘Ancient Gods.’ It is not appropriate for you to go.”

Ye Tu sat opposite her, holding the palm-sized [Omniscient Magic Mirror] covered with mysterious patterns.

"Or do you want to be parasitized by the tentacles of an ancient god again?"

"Of course not!"

Ivia sat up.

"So when do you plan to tell that guy?"

“Irene Vitte?” Ye Tu tossed the mirror in his hand. “She knew a long time ago.”

Ivia was taken aback, then seemed to realize something.

"Could it be that time you went to the Church of Light?"

"Correct."
