In a bustling place, there would also be secluded corners that no one cared about.
Just like where there was sunlight, there would also be shadows.
Thus, after leaving Zhi Shu's group, Nimue quickly found a quiet corner.
With her back against the cliff, Nimue hugged her knees and sat on the sand.
Looking at the waves crashing onto the shore and splashing against the reefs, Nimue's blue eyes were empty and lifeless.
[Is this the ground?]
[This is the ground where the bugs live.]
Bugs, this was what Nimue had always called the humans on the ground.
Just like how her master, the Sky Lord Minos, called the people on the ground.
Looking up, the sky was as blue and transparent as her eyes.
Nimue involuntarily reached out a slender arm towards the sky as if she wanted to grab something.
"Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp! "
A pair of birds flapped their wings and flew past. Under Nimue's surprised gaze, they gently landed on her outstretched palm.
With her eyes slightly widened, Nimue carefully put her hand down. She looked at the pair of birds that seemed to be her partners standing on her palm. They nimbly turned their cute heads and stared at her with their beautiful eyes. Nimue could not help but smile for the first time since she came to the ground.
"Good, good, good …"
Her other hand gently stroked the feathers of the birds. Nimue suddenly frowned in distress.
She did not seem to have anything to entertain these two cute little guys.
"Use this."
A piece of bread that emitted a sweet aroma was placed in front of him.
The faint lily fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose. Nimue, who turned her head in shock, saw Eight-cloud Ink with a warm smile like a spring breeze.
"It's you?"
"It's me."
Without any hesitation, Eight-cloud Ink sat down beside Nimue. She gently tore off some crumbs from the bread in her hand and placed it in Nimue's palm.
The pair of birds gently pecked at the crumbs. Nimue, who saw this scene, showed a sweet smile like a child.
"It's so nice …"
"It's naturally nice to be able to fly freely in the sky."
Nimue looked at Eight-cloud Ink strangely. "Alpha's master is really a strange person."
"People?" Eight-cloud Ink said with a faint smile, "Why are you not called bugs anymore? If I remember correctly, that's what you call Sakurai-kun. "
"Hmph!"
Nymph shook her head proudly, her pair of smooth blue ponytails slapping against Eight-cloud Ink's clothes.
Perhaps frightened by Nymph's actions, a pair of birds that were eating crumbs flapped their wings and flew away.
"Ah —!"
Instinctively, Nymph wanted to reach out her hand, but her outstretched hand stopped midway.
"It's good that he flew away."
"If that's the case … then we won't …"
"So what?"
"It's none of your business!"
Nymph made a face at Eight-cloud Ink and was about to leave, but she stopped because of Eight-cloud Ink's words.
"Is it because you remember the little bird you met in Syneps?"
"— —!!"
In an instant, Nymph's eyes turned into a battle-ready state as she stared at Eight-cloud Ink.
"You — how do you know?"
"I know a lot, Icarus, you, and maybe Astrea."
"A?"
"Ah, yes, that idiot."
… Idiot.
Nymph almost choked on her breath.
But regardless of Eight-cloud Ink's inappropriate name for Astrea, it seems like the owner of α knows a lot about Syneps.
If that's the case —
"Hacking!"
The All-Purpose Angel used in electronic warfare could hack into living things other than electronic devices.
In an instant, she felt the same sensation as when Shokuhou Misaki used her psychological control ability on her.
Eight-cloud Ink chuckled, he didn't do anything, but the sound of glass shattering echoed in the air.
Nymph shrieked and fell backwards in cold sweat.
But the expected fall didn't happen, Eight-cloud Ink caught her in time.
"It's useless to hack into me."
"How, how is that possible … a mere … bug on the ground —"
"Hmm?"
"A mere … human on the ground …"
"Ha!"
After straightening Nymph's soft body, Eight-cloud Ink leaned against a rock and looked up at the clear blue sky.
"I'm not a human, why don't you do some research before you act?"
"Not a human? Stop joking! Are you going to say you're an Avian? "
The Avian were the original inhabitants of Syneps, the creator of the Angel of Chaos.
"Bang!"
"Ah! It hurts! "
Nymph rubbed her head that was hit by Eight-cloud Ink and glared at him, "Did I say something wrong?"
"Of course not, I'm a demon."
"Nonsense!"
Nymph had the confidence to say that.
The history of Syneps far exceeded human civilization.
Therefore, it was impossible for the people of Syneps to not know what kind of living things lived on the ground.
If there were demons on the ground, they would've been discovered by Syneps a long time ago.
"Nonsense? As an Angel of Chaos, you should have the ability to analyze anything, why don't you try it on me. "
"Hmph! That's what you said! "
Standing up, Nymph's fairy wings flapped, countless data streams flashed in her eyes.
"Analyzing matter …"
"… Analysis can't be done!?"
Nymph's face was pale as she covered her eyes, as if the analysis just now had hurt her eyes.
"What's going on! There's a large amount of abnormal information on the surface of your body, completely disrupting the normal analysis! "
"Abnormal information?"
Eight-cloud Ink shook his head.
"That's because you've never encountered such an existence before, so you think it's abnormal. It's actually demon power."
With Eight-cloud Ink's current strength, it was not difficult for the demon power on the surface of his body to disrupt Nymph's simple analysis.
Of course, if he could not resist, Nymph's analysis at full power could still proceed normally.
But if it was Zilai, even if he did not deliberately resist, the demon power he unconsciously emitted was enough to disrupt Nymph's analysis at full power due to the abnormal information, resulting in a bunch of useless results.
Nymph took a step back and looked at Eight-cloud Ink solemnly.
From the looks of it, the biggest problem in bringing Ikaros back isn't Ikaros herself but her master.
Although the analysis just now was not successful, it gave Nymph a rough estimate of Eight-cloud Ink's strength.
It was not something she could fight against.
"What, are you thinking about how to bring Ikaros back to Syneps?"
"Why are you — Yes, you already know so many secrets about Syneps, it's normal for you to know my purpose."
"So, you want to eliminate me now?"
Nymph, who took a step back, opened her cute little mouth slightly.
Aphrodite, ready to launch at any time.
As if he did not notice Nymph's actions, Eight-cloud Ink looked at the sky.
"Nymph, from the ground, the sky here is very wide."
