Sister Phoenix glared at the cat-masked woman and gritted her teeth. She always thought that her teammates were pigs but from their words now, it is clear that they were only pretending to be pigs.
The cat-masked woman on the other hand had her own thoughts. If Yu Holea could ruthlessly attack once, she could definitely attack Sister Phoenix again.
As for the mask...she knows that it can only be used till a certain ti.
Yes! She knew that each of their masks contained a certain power and it could be used for certain number of tis.
As long as Yu Holea could give Sister Phoenix enough number of deaths, sister phoenix would die for sure!
Yu Holea chuckled.
She could read the cat-masked woman’s thoughts just from her face.
However...
"There is a way, but it is not sothing that can be easily achieved. The power of the phoenix mask must be neutralized. Only then can Sister Phoenix be permanently defeated."
The lion-masked woman, now desperate, asked, "How can we do that?"
Yu Holea’s eyes turned cold.
"The mask is bound to her soul. To destroy it, we must sever that connection."
"Hiss..." Other candidates couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
How painful it will be for Sister Phoenix if they try to sever the connection.
So of the candidates who truly admired Sister Phoenix couldn’t help but speak up,
"Sister Yu, you have already punished Sister Phoenix one ti, why are you trying to punish her again? It is against the rule!"
"Yeah! You can’t punish a person for the sa mistake twice!"
"Miss Yu please back off. You have already punished her, now that she has reborn, it is because of her own power." The swan masked woman said.
Yu Holea noted all the candidates who were supporting Sister Phoenix.
Not because she wanted to kill them. But she admired them. At least they weren’t like so people who would forget the kindness of others at a critical ti.
It’s a pity...their loyalty was towards Sister Phoenix hence she(Yu Holea) can’t have feelings beyond admiration for them.
"You are saying the right thing, candidate Swan." Yu Holea said.
Sister Phoneix looked at the swan-masked woman.
She truly didn’t expect her to take a stand for her at this critical ti.
The swan-masked woman turned to look at Sister Phoenix and smiled.
In her heart though, she was cursing her.
B*tch why can’t you die!
The reason why she was helping Sister Phoenix was because she knew, Sister Phoenix had beco much more powerful than the previous ti.
Also, if Sister Phoenix left, wouldn’t Yu Holea, who is much more powerful than Sister Phoenix beco the goddess?
She could hardly deal with Sister Phoenix. If she had to deal with a monster like Yu Holea then she could forget about becoming a goddess!
Yu Holea turned towards Sister Phoenix,
"Since she has reminded of the rule, I forgot, I will take my leave."
And just like that, she left.
Her departure stunned everyone.
Just like that?
So candidates couldn’t help but whisper among each other,
"God, am I seeing things? Why did she suddenly back off?"
"Maybe she beca fearful of Sister Phoenix’s newly awakened powers?"
"No! I think she has so other thoughts..."
......
Sister Phoenix ignored them.
She vowed to take revenge for herself. At the sa ti, she decided to be good to only a few won who took a stand for her.
The cat-masked woman looked at Yu Holea’s departing back with horror.
How could she leave like that?
What does she do now?
She has offended Sister Phoenix. And from the looks of it Sister Phoenix would never take care of her from now on!
Suddenly a cold voice said,
"Even though I have announced that I won’t punish you further, I would like to remind you that if within the next 2 days, my fiance won’t wake up, you all will face severe consequences." Yu Holea announced.
Everyone looked around but didn’t see Yu Holea. They could only leave with a tired face.
Of course, from that day onwards two different fractions were created.
A group of people who supported Sister Phoenix and a group of people who supported Yu Holea.
.......
On the way the ghost who was accompanying Yu Holea asked,
"Master, why did you not continue to punish that woman?"
Yu Holea smiled,
"I just didn’t want to."
However, only Yu Holea knew the truth.
Since Sister Phoenix loves to destroy other things, she(Yu Holea) would destroy what she(Sister Phoenix) loves the most.
The seat of goddess...
Yu Holea was determined to beco the goddess. And for that, she needs to make her opponent weak first.
The best way is to disintegrate the power of the opponent.
Just now, she had intentionally hard Sister Phoenix. To make everyone realize that Sister Phoenix was not invincible and there was soone else more powerful than her(Yu Holea).
She wanted them to chose her and leave Sister Phoenix.
By backing off publicly, Yu Holea sowed the seeds of doubt in the minds of Sister Phoenix’s supporters.
She knew that hesitation and uncertainty could be as deadly as any weapon. Those who witnessed her calculated restraint would begin to question Sister Phoenix’s invincibility.
As Yu Holea and the ghost walked through the shadowed alleyways, she contemplated her next steps.
"Master, what’s the next move?" the ghost inquired, its eyes gleaming with curiosity.
Yu Holea’s smile was a blend of cunning and confidence.
"We wait. Patience is a weapon. Sister Phoenix will be on edge, and her followers will start doubting her strength. In the anti, we gather more information and allies."
"But what about the candidates who support her?" the ghost asked.
"They might regroup and strengthen their resolve."
Yu Holea shook her head.
"Fear and doubt are corrosive. They will eat away at her support base. We will strike when the ti is right, and by then, Sister Phoenix’s own insecurities will have done half the work for us."
........
The next day.
When Yu Holea entered the grand mansion she saw two won sitting on their seats with pale faces.
The first woman had a good figure and height, her skin was fair and her aura was gentle. She had a Dove mask.
While the other woman had a slim build and sharp eyes, her aura exuding a sense of danger. She wore a Hawk mask.
Both won looked up as Yu Holea entered, their expressions showed admiration.
"Good morning, Sister Yu."
"Good morning, Sister Yu."
Both of them greeted.
Yu Holea nodded at them.
The mont Yu Holea sat down, the dove-masked woman exchanged looks with the Hawk-masked woman.
Unfortunately, her eyes t with the ghost hovering around the Hawk-masked woman. the ghost as if sensing the stare, turned to look at her and smiled creepily.
The dove-masked woman: "..." Mom! I want to return to Earth!
Yu Holea didn’t rush to ask anything and closed her eyes.
Finally, the dove-masked woman called out Yu Holea,
"Sister Yu..."
"Candidate." Yu Holea corrected her.
She wasn’t interested in becoming anyone’s sister.
"Yeah, Candidate Yu. We want to talk about sothing." The dove-masked woman instantly changed her way of addressing.
"Say."
"That...we want to...form a fraction. Our motive is to support you." The dove-masked woman stated her purpose.
Yu Holea smiled,
"Do you know why I withdrew at the last mont and why I even attacked Sister Phoenix?"
The dove-masked woman and hawk-masked woman both of them were stunned.
Of course, she understood a part of it.
Yu Holea wanted to establish her authority, hence she punished Sister Phoenix.
"I wanted to sow discord between you all and snatch so power from you all."
Lira and Sir Aldric looked at each other with shock.
They didn’t expect, Yu Holea to confess right away.
Lira hurriedly stepped forward and interrupted,
"My lady, do you want tea?"
"No."
"My lady I gues you are in the right mood, why not rest for a while?" Lira suggested.
Yu Holea understood Lira’s hidden aning. She was hinting Yu Holea, that it might cause trouble for her.
But...
Yu Holea closed her eyes.
Last night she had a wonderful dream.
......
"Lea~" A gentle voice called her out and Yu Holea felt her heart skipping a beat.
Jun?
When she turned around, she saw Qiao Jun in the sa clothes she had seen last ti.
Yu Holea didn’t answer.
Qiao Jun slowly walked up to her.
"Lea, why do you look so weak." Qiao Jun asked with distress.
Yu Holea blinked but still didn’t answer him.
"Lea. Please take care of yourself. I can’t see you like this." Qiao Jun continued.
"Okay." Yu Holea nodded obediently but her gaze didn’t leave Qiao Jun’s
"Lea. I know you want to take revenge on my behalf, but..." He paused and extended his hand toward Yu Holea’s cheeks.
However, his hand passed through her cheeks, making Yu Holea realize that Qiao Jun in front of her was either a dream, a spirit, or so illusion.
