The Evil God's Stirring

"Are you really sure there's no problem?"

"Really, it's fine..."

Yun felt both amused and exasperated. Never before had she been so thoroughly doubted.

After Ti probed Yun for the third time in Vina's presence, the priestess of the Goddess of Beauty finally lowered her guard and believed that the Xuan Tribe member before her had not been assimilated by that filthy power.

"It's good that you weren't affected by the Evil God."

When she saw the black insect pounce at her companion's neck, Vina had truly felt as if the sky were about to collapse...

The most terrifying thing about those evil creatures wasn't their destructive power... but precisely how incredibly difficult it was to resist their assimilation.

Any living being stained by that dense, mud-like current of air would uncontrollably become the Evil God's agent, continuing to spread filth throughout the world.

She had heard... or rather, Vina had only heard it said... that in the territories of certain gods, vast regions had even been polluted by the Evil God before being completely cleansed and purged.

If someone among the Xuan Tribe, who were all in the same boat, had also been corrupted by the Evil God's power, Vina truly wouldn't have known what to do.

"What did it feel like when that thing touched you?"

It was partly to confirm that Yun was still completely fine, and partly out of curiosity about that "evil creature," so Ti continued asking.

After all, according to Vina, even gods were unable to resist that corruption... Yet Yun was completely unharmed. While this reassured Ti, it also left her somewhat puzzled.

"I didn't feel anything. At the time, it seemed as if some voice rang out in my head."

She hadn't understood the meaning of that whisper, nor did she know
