The disappearance of the Invisible Eye made Ivette, whose true body was far away in the Land of Finale, raise an eyebrow. Because it had ended too quickly, she had no idea what kind of power it was. It seemed like some form of remote power transmission, with pure mental erosion as its core means of attack. It could be classified as a variant of Soul Magic.
Then, before anyone else arrived, she swiftly retreated beneath Mo Jia's clothes and quietly activated her Devouring ability, beginning to absorb the foreign soul imprints that had invaded Mo Jia's body.
By devouring these spiritual remnants, Ivette discovered that the Soul Runes were all in a bizarre state of chaos, extremely similar to the infectious effects of Mutation Factors—like a soul plague capable of inducing madness.
So this was the so-called Evil God Corruption?
Immediately afterward, using the Devouring Spirit Power gained from her latest evolution, Ivette absorbed the chaotic wills tearing at Mo Jia's sanity.
Before long, clarity gradually returned to the half-elf girl's amber eyes, and the distorted vision before her settled as well.
"Nh—" Mo Jia collapsed to her knees as though all strength had left her, gasping heavily. Cold sweat soaked her bangs, and the relief of surviving the ordeal surged through her heart.
Good thing the Evil God saved me! she thought gratefully. Otherwise, if I'd so rashly stared directly into another Evil God's eye just now, I definitely would have been corrupted and turned into a lunatic like that crazed cultist beside me!
A few seconds later, the foaming madman went limp on the ground and fell completely silent, as though he had passed out.
Soon after, another burst of hurried footsteps shattered the alley's dead silence. Three clergymen in differently styled robes appeared at its entrance.
