A gentle sea breeze blew in my face.

Soren stood on a reef, gazing at the distant sea, lost in thought as if he were a statue.

A rare look of fatigue appeared on his face, as if he had exhausted too much energy, and his expression revealed a sense of lethargy.

Light footsteps approached.

The Psion appeared behind Soren, tilting his head to look him over with a playful expression. "Master, it seems I've never seen you so lazy and tired since I first met you."

"Giggle!"

"Was it because you used up too much energy last night?"

The Psion's words became flippant, as if she found it very amusing to tease Soren like this.

Soren turned and glanced at her, not answering her question, but simply saying slowly, "Find a way to restore your strength. Instead of worrying about these issues, you should think more about how to recover."

The Psion smiled slightly, and like a butterfly, easily sat down next to Soren, stretching lazily and saying, "Relax! Relax!"

"Actually, things are fine as they are now."

"At least I don't have to hear all that nonsense going on in other people's heads every day. It's such a rare moment of leisure!"

Read Thoughts?!

Soren paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at her seriously and said slowly, "Is that so? Then take a good rest. We still have plenty of time to prepare."

He wasn't familiar with the realm of Psion, but if Psionics was too strong, it was indeed possible to know what others were thinking.

Then control the minds of other creatures!

Soren's Telepathy can accomplish this to some extent, and the perception abilities of Demigod are also useful, but it is only effective on ordinary people, and the effect is weaker on the more powerful the target.

"Owner."

The Psion gazed at the distant sea. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "That Golden Priest from the Temple of Wealth is very interesting. I plan to learn some priestly skills from her, and if possible, I intend to work part-time as a Level 1 Priest."

Soren pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and asked, "Are you confident?"

The Psion smiled and said slowly, "It's actually a very simple matter. However, if you want to advance to a higher level, I'm afraid you'll need my help, Master."

A gift from Divine Power.

Soren nodded thoughtfully. With Psion's current abilities, there are limitations to her ability to work in any field, because her Psionics power is too strong, occupying a larger share of her soul. She might be able to work as a priest quite easily, but to elevate her priesthood to the Legendary level or higher would probably require a considerable amount of time, or perhaps Soren would bestow Divine Power upon her.

Divinity is merely a passive force.

Even more significant is the bestowal of divine Divine Power. Vivian's immense strength is built upon the accumulation of Fear Divine Power, Divinity is difficult to translate into tangible strength, can substitute for the effects of Spell Divine Power. Almost all Chosen of the Church Deity possess Deity Divine Power bestowed upon them, and can even directly mobilize a portion of Deity power when necessary, descending as Avatar of Deity. If Psion wants to raise their priest rank, they will likely have no choice but to rely on the Divine Power bestowed by Soren.

"Someone's coming."

The butterfly landed lightly, turned to look at Soren, and seemed to have a mischievous glint in its eyes. It slowly said, "Looks like someone wasn't satisfied last night and is planning to come and continue with Master?"

As a former level 30+ Psion, perhaps she truly lacked sufficient reverence for the Deity.

The figure of the Fallen Witch appeared.

Soren walked cross -Scimitar. Only after the other man approached did he slowly say, "It should be finished by now, right?"

The Fallen Witch watched his retreating figure and nodded slightly, saying, "Hmm."

"Thanks."

Soren paused for a moment as he wiped his Scimitar, then continued, "There's nothing to thank me for. After all, you are Goria's mother, and I can't stand by and watch you sink deeper into depravity. But you'd better think about your future too. The Succubus Queen isn't one of those Tom, Dick, or Harry in the Abyss. Once you signed the contract with her, her mark was already on your soul. Unless you enter a realm comparable to that of Deity, you'll be her plaything and Slave for life."

"This time it might just pass like this, but have you thought about what to do next time?"

"I've never witnessed a corrupting ritual to please the Succubus Queen before, but I have seen Profane Ritual to please the Spider Queen. A bunch of naive fools thought that blood, Slaughter, sacrifice, lust, debauchery, and corruption would satisfy the Spider Queen, but they never considered that an existence like the Spider Queen has seen far too much over the long years, and how difficult it is to please her!"

Do you know what happened to that group of people in the end?

At this point, Soren turned to look at the Fallen Witch behind him, and clearly saw her body tremble slightly.

The Fallen Witch gently shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Soren smiled, as if lost in some memory, and whispered, "The Priest in charge of the ritual was turned into Chuvak, Spider Queen sent Drider to devour the offerings. Those who survived were turned into monsters that were half human and half spider."

You may have more knowledge than I do.

"But you certainly don't know the Abyss as well as I do! Those Abyssal Demon Lord aren't as easy to deal with as you think. Their chaotic nature makes them capable of anything, and they won't be satisfied so easily."

"You actually thought that I could have just found some ordinary people and done it without taking action yesterday?"

"Hehe."

"If you had actually done that, I'm afraid the Radiant Nun would have descended yesterday. They would have whipped everyone involved in the ritual to death with barbed Adamantine whips, and then used the torture of you to satisfy the Succubus Queen's desires, because this level of ritual to please her is nothing short of a mockery of the Succubus Queen!..."

Who is the Succubus Queen?

The Portfolio she governs are in the darkest and most depraved realms of lust and desire; it would be naive to think she could satisfy even the smallest mortal desires.

If she were truly so easily satisfied, some Sorcerer Family could probably please her with ease.

Soren fell silent.

He recalled a Sacrificial Ritual he had participated in before, in which a Dragon Egg was used to sacrifice a lower-ranking Archfiend, and everyone inside nearly died. A mere Dragon Egg was far from satisfying its appetite, and its chaotic nature caused it to attack the other sacrificers.

"Well!"

Soren let out a weary sigh and said slowly, "There shouldn't be any problems for the time being. Even the Succubus Queen should have been satisfied last night."

"Perhaps when the world changes, the contract you're bound to will have a change of heart!"

A blush crept onto the Fallen Witch's beautiful face, and her delicate body trembled involuntarily. As if she had thought of something, her gaze fell on Soren's slender, white fingers.

Then, to hide her emotions, she left the place in a somewhat flustered manner.

Soren remained silent.

He simply gazed at the distant sea, as if contemplating something more important.

To please the Succubus Queen.

Ordinary methods are almost useless, because the legendary ' Book of Erotic Fantasy ' was created by either the Succubus Queen or her daughter, and it is the most decadent and lewd Spellbook in the Multiverse.

However, Soren wasn't entirely without options, after all, he was among the world's top Rogue.

A pale golden afterimage flowed through his fingertips. Soren placed the Scimitar Icetail on his lap, idly toying with the Adamantine Dagger in his palm. His fingers had already become a blur, and the Adamantine Dagger was moving so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye.

Click!

Soren plunged the Dagger into the rock with his palm, muttering, "Should we melt it down? If we mix in Adamantine, perhaps we can forge a second Legendary Scimitar?"

"Perhaps we should ask Goria."

"She mentioned that night that Gith Silver Sword seemed to have made a new breakthrough!"

arms.

Without the [Holy Avenger], Soren had no choice but to look for other solutions.

After all, he possesses Feat in [Improved Two-Weapon Fighting] combat, and to fully unleash his combat power, two Legendary- level Scimitar are essential.

There are still too few high-level equipment items!

I'm wondering if I should take some time to visit Wizard City. I should be able to afford some Legendary Equipment now.

Soren stood up.

He glanced at the distant sea, then turned and walked towards the port.
