Note!
Hidden in a secret compartnt of a suitcase was a notebook.
It contained several pieces of information Yula had gathered within the 'Inland River Cult'.
Originally, this lady planned to exchange this information for more ritorious service.
And now?
It was for a much greater sche.
"Returning it to the cult in exchange for ritorious service is a good choice,
but if I could resolve the 'Inland River Cult' without shedding blood ...
that would be the real ritorious service!
With such ritorious service, I might receive the blessing from the 'Lady of Sorrow'!"
Yula caressed the notebook, already visualizing the battle between South Los's 'Spirit dium' and the 'Inland River Cult' in her mind, her eyes couldn't help but show excitent, and she continuously murmured to herself.
At this mont, Yula was extrely grateful!
Grateful for her decision to infiltrate the 'Inland River Cult'.
Though seeking out this information, violating the contract, made her power drop from an 'Entrant' to a re 'Mystic Side Person', at this mont, Yula believed it was worth it.
After all, it was rely a fall in power!
She had exchanged that power for her survival.
And now?
She was about to beco a 'Follower' of the 'Lady of Sorrow'.
She would begin to 'Ascend Step'.
Step by step.
She would stand under that lady.
She would be above thousands beneath one god.
Thinking of this, the lady beca increasingly excited.
Yet even she didn't notice that, in her excitent, a tiny tentacle erged from her ear.
Twisting and trembling incessantly.
As if dancing.
The lady did not notice.
But Arthur saw it clearly.
And almost instantly, Arthur diverted his gaze.
Because—
"Death Intuition" was flickering slightly.
Not at this mont.
But in the brief future.
Faint, but alert enough.
And the mont after Arthur shifted his gaze, the tip of the tiny tentacle split into three parts and expelled nearly transparent thin threads.
Like a silkworm spinning silk, yet growing rapidly when exposed to the wind.
Instantly, they ford a net and enveloped Yula's face.
Yet the lady seed utterly unaware of anything, still excitedly muttering to herself.
"What friends, she's the master!
'God of the Inland River' must be South Los's 'Spirit dium's master!
Yes!
Yes, yes!
That's right!
Only this explains the oddity of the 'Inland River Cult'.
Without a god's blessing, it's a cult!
Just expelling the invasive 'Inland River Cult' from Seberlin, then all of Seberlin will be ours, the glory of the 'Lady of Suffering' will return to the earth.
Ha, it surely can return to the earth!
Ha, it can, it definitely can!"
Yula couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The laughter was sowhat sharp and piercing, and her face, even wrapped in nearly transparent threads, still clearly showed its distortion.
Even more so because of the entanglent of these threads.
The whole process lasted about 30 seconds.
The transparent threads vanished into the air.
The tiny tentacle also retracted back into Yula's ear.
Then, Yula suddenly snapped awake, rapidly recovering from that mad, dreamlike state.
The lady first paused, then incredulously looked down at her own hands.
Power!
Her power had returned!
Not fully restored!
But now, she possessed the power of a Great Arcana Level!
Having never felt such a condition before, but having read about it more than once in the church's scriptures, Yula quickly knelt on both knees—
"rciful 'Lady of Suffering'!
You are the mother of all!
You bear our suffering!
And your blessing shall guide our way forward!"
After murmuring her prayer for a mont, Yula then rose again.
Different from before, she now shone even more radiantly, strikingly beautiful.
Not just in enhanced strength, but also because of...
Blessing!
The blessing of the 'Lady of Suffering' gave her absolute confidence.
The plan had not even begun, yet she received such a blessing.
If the plan succeeded, she probably could ascend to deity status with this rit alone!
Her lifelong desire was to beco the 'Subordinate God, Servant of Agony' to the 'Lady of Sorrow.'
And now, the opportunity had finally arrived!
Without hesitation, Yula placed the notebook into Lucius's arms.
Originally, she wanted to set a trap so that Lucius would discover the notebook by accident.
But now?
There was no need.
The power of the 'Great Arcana Level,' though not as strong as her previous 'Entry' power, allowed her to utilize secret techniques with ease now.
"You faced Yula and bluffed your way through.
Although you had a savage beating, you kept your secret.
This is the notebook you stumbled upon unintentionally.
It contains plenty of secrets about the 'Inland River Cult.'
You originally planned to exchange these secrets for sufficient power, but now, without hesitation, you will trade them for a complete ritual from that 'Spirit dium' of South Los!
However, to be cautious, you plan to morize all the secrets first.
That's why you didn't agree imdiately to the 'Spirit dium' of South Los."
Yula helped Lucius 'recall.'
This type of recollection naturally would spoil the 'fruit's' flavor.
But at this mont, Yula, having regained so of her strength, hardly cared.
After all, Lucius's necessity was rely for her to regain her power.
And now, with the blessing of the 'Lady of Suffering.'
This 'fruit' had beco irrelevant.
Even if the taste was a bit off, Yula didn't mind.
She would just switch to another if needed.
With such a thought, the lady was much rougher in her approach.
Lucius, already streaming with tears, opened his mouth to scream, but Yula stuffed it with her sock.
The scream turned into muffled groans.
When those muffled sounds ceased, the lady looked contentedly at the twitching Lucius.
She used her sock to wipe the filth off Lucius's face and then got up and walked toward the bathroom.
What followed?
Naturally, it was left to Lucius.
While she needed to spend so quality ti with Joe.
The unexpected 'blessing' did not an she did not need Joe's estate.
On the contrary, she needed more.
This ti not only Joe's, but she wanted the entire assets of 'Reepra. Qiao Comrce Guild.'
She planned to use these riches to establish a secret stronghold for the 'Lady of Suffering.'
Thus, Joe needed to be properly disciplined.
The bathroom door closed silently.
In the living room, Lucius slowly regained consciousness.
"Hmph!"
Feeling the pain all over his body, the young Avenger could not help but grunt, but then he reached into his vest.
Upon touching that distinct texture, the young Avenger finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, without hesitation,
The young Avenger began to read through it.
He wanted to take this mont to morize everything.
anwhile, Arthur's perspective shifted back again.
