Imperial Capital, Bigusler Residence, in a room in the district where Shien lived.
When the "Sun of Death" fell from the sky above the Imperial Capital, the master and servant pair in the room changed their expression drastically, while the other narrowed his eyes and left the room together.
When the figure with the dazzling flames and dazzling golden radiance collided with the "Sun of Death" in the sky, the most terrifying shockwave swept across the entire Imperial Capital. Outside Bigusler Residence, a layer of ripples appeared and enveloped the entire residence.
The shockwave was blocked by the ripples.
It seemed like the master and servant pair who left the room did all that.
Or more accurately, Lésia sensed the shockwave, so she built a magical barrier to protect the residence.
This allowed Bigusler Family to make it through the terrifying shockwaves, as well as the little girl with a rather dark and healthy complexion who was lying on the bed in the room was safe and sound.
However, when the culprit who smashed the "Sun of Death" was killed by the hero with a single slash, the little girl who had been lying on the bed for a few days and hadn't woken up for a long time finally opened her eyes.
Her eyes were as calm as an ancient well.
"Is it over?"
The little girl mumbled.
Then, a laugh entered the little girl's ears.
"Yes, it's over. I wonder if you're satisfied?"
Along with this sentence, several figures appeared in the area simultaneously.
Most of the figures were wearing black robes and their faces couldn't be seen. Their presence was also vague, but one could faintly feel a sense of terrifying pressure from them.
However, all of them were respectfully protecting a male Demons who stood among them. The male Demons, who looked gentle and refined without any presence, looked like a normal human, looked at the little girl with a smile.
The little girl sat up and shifted her gaze to the male Demons as well.
Seeing that, the male Demons bowed politely.
"This should be the first time we meet, right?" The male Demons said politely, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Danas, the disciple of the [Star] Ambassador of the [Original Devil] of the old Demons."
Hearing that, the little girl looked calm.
"I know you." The girl said flatly, "I'm connected to Mara's mind. She told me that she's working with the [Original Demons], a faction of the Old Demons. She's also receiving the support of the [Star] Apostle, one of the three apostles of [Sun], [Moon], and [Star]. She's working with him to plan for the future. She's talking about you, right?"
"Yes." Danas nodded with a smile and said, "Thousands of years ago, the Necromancer who was suppressed by the Goddess of Life, Anima, had cultivated a being called [Great Spirit of Death]. The uniqueness of the being and the possibilities it contained were very attractive to us, the [Old Demons Faction], which was founded at the same time. Therefore, we searched for that being for almost a thousand years, and it was not until recently that we discovered Lady Mara's existence and established a cooperative relationship with her."
Danas couldn't help but laugh.
"At that time, I thought Miss Mo Luo was the one we had been searching for a thousand years."
"It was only recently that I learned that Miss Mo Luo is just your agent."
"Am I right?"
"The true owner of the Great Spirit of Death, the Princess of Erei."
"Your Highness Lenny Erei."
Lenny raised an eyebrow at Danas' words.
At this moment, Lenny looked at Danas with a serious expression.
"How did you know that the child was my agent?"
Lenny seemed to be a little interested.
Danas smiled casually.
"It's simple, Your Highness Lenny." Danas said with fervor and assurance, "Because for an existence like the Great Spirit Body of Death, only when it has extreme love, and this extreme love produces extreme hatred, then it will have a higher possibility of being formed."
"Lady Mo Luo does have extreme hatred. Her hatred and disgust towards the brave men even surprised me sometimes."
"However, she only has hatred. I have never seen love from her."
From then on, Danas started to wonder if Mara was the true owner of the [Great Spirit of Death].
Danas started to investigate.
In the end, Danas discovered Lenny's existence just like Jarvis did.
From then on, Danas knew that Lenny was the true owner of the [Great Spirit of Death].
"That's strange." Lenny tilted her head and said, "My unique skill [Colorless and Odorless] can block all prying eyes. Even the Goddess of Nature, Nadura, couldn't detect my existence, and the Moon Fiend, Cela, couldn't see through me. Even that brave warrior couldn't detect my true power. But you did, and even knew who I used to be. Unbelievable."
"That's just a reasonable guess, Your Highness." Danas shrugged and said, "I'm not as powerful as you lot, nor do I have unique skills. I'm not born with any talent, and I'm not blessed by the gods or the world. But I'm pretty good at creating magic with living bodies. The magic warriors I've created with my own hands all have the skill [Symbiosis]. Since I had my suspicions, I couldn't have missed the fact that Miss Mo Luo had this skill."
Therefore, Danas knew that there must be another existence behind Mara. Not only was it the true owner of the Great Spirit of Death, but it had also shared the characteristics of the Great Spirit of Death and its own power with Mara through [Symbiosis].
[Symbiosis] was a skill that could only be learned by people who had a very deep connection with each other. Usually, only twins or something like that would have this skill. Normal people couldn't learn this skill, not even the gods and demons.
Moreover, Mara was an Ereyi. As long as Danas followed this clue, he would naturally find out the truth.
For example …
"In the past, there was an extremely famous princess in Ereyi. Not only did she win the favor of King Ereyi, she was also deeply in love with the hero Mithra from a thousand years ago."
Danas explained slowly.
"It was said that the princess survived the calamity of Ereyi and was taken away by the hero, who was filled with guilt."
"It was said that the princess accompanied the hero his entire life, even serving him as a maid. But in the end, she never won the hero's love."
"The hero's feelings for her were only guilt. He only stayed with her because he was rejected by the elven queen. Disheartened, he decided to make it up to the princess and spend the rest of his life with her."
"But in the end, the hero never loved her. Even when he decided to sacrifice himself and leave behind his sacred sword for Mithra, he ignored the princess' objections."
"So, the princess gave up. The princess left and disappeared without a trace. She never returned to the Mithra Kingdom."
Danas looked at Lenny, who had a calm expression.
"Some said that she found a place to live in seclusion and spent the rest of her life there."
"Some said that she might have chosen to die for love. She quietly ended her life in a place that no one knew about."
"But I think that because of the hero's heroic deeds, she had a longing for the hero since she was young and loved him deeply. She even told the hero about the conspiracy of the Demons in Ereyi, which indirectly led to the destruction of her own country. In the end, she couldn't get the hero's love. She stayed with the hero for the rest of her life without getting anything in return. She sacrificed everything, lost everything, and even lost the hero she loved. In the end, she must have harbored unparalleled hatred in her heart."
This was the ultimate hatred born from extreme love. It was the emotion that the Great Astral Body truly needed.
Then …
"I heard that the princess has a maid by her side. That maid is always by her side." Danas stared straight at Lenny as if he wanted to see something from Lenny's eyes and expression. He said, "The royal family of Arei will always have someone like this who follows them like a shadow."
"They are the royal Shadow Warriors who were baptized by a special magic ritual that has been lost in history and only exists in Ereyi. When it is inconvenient for the royal family to show up, or when they need to attend dangerous situations, they will represent them."
"Therefore, there are many similarities between them and the royal family that accompanied them."
"Looks."
"Body size."
"Power."
"Magic power."
"Even the ripples of their life force are almost identical."
With that, it was understandable that Mara could learn [Symbiosis].
On top of that, Mara had sent someone to protect Lenny and keep an eye on him. That was how Danas discovered Lenny and came up with this bold guess.
"Miss Mara is your maid, right?" Danas said with certainty. "After you were converted into a Great Astral Body, she has been following you. Through [Symbiosis], she possessed your Great Astral Body and lived with you for a thousand years."
Mara's hatred towards the Hero was all because of Lenny.
Because of what happened to her master, the maid hated the Hero and everything related to the Hero.
As for Lenny, she had been hiding behind the scenes and never showed herself.
In other words, Lenny was the mastermind who hid the deepest.
"You want the Lustrous Branch to make up for the Great Astral Body's flaw, right?" Danas said with a sigh. "The one who calls herself the High Priest does have some tricks up her sleeve. She created a life that is not within the realm of life to circumvent the limits of life and let the [Great Astral Body of Death] achieve transcendence."
"But she is still a frog at the bottom of a well. She is talented but ignorant, cowardly and powerless. How could she know that even if she created such an existence, the world would not allow it to grow?"
The rules in [Principles] of the World were not just decorations.
Only life had levels. Non-life did not have the concept of levels. This was the rule of [Principles].
That was why Lenny needed the Lustrous Branch.
