Background

Rachel came from a long-declined noble family and relied on her dignified beauty to obtain work at the Magic Beast Knights headquarters. At the time she entered Lei Mo's service, she had no formal path to cultivation and was only a first-rank warrior. Lei Mo immediately appointed her housekeeper of his Viscount Mansion and gave her full authority over its internal affairs. 20

After Lei Mo became a Saint and Duke, Rachel prepared the new ducal estate for his return with meticulous care. Her initial desire for stability developed into fervent admiration and personal devotion to Lei Mo, whom she regarded as a legendary powerhouse. 30

Lei Mo formally established Rachel as the estate's unquestioned administrator in his absence, then had her recognized as the Duchess of the Keaton Kingdom. Her father, Old Bella, was elevated to Count Bella under the royal arrangement. 30 32

Appearance

Rachel is petite, dignified, and beautiful, with delicate fair skin. Her original golden hair later changed to pale blue during her Storm Mermaid essence-blood refinement; fluorescent specks became visible through the strands, and a pale-blue crystal appeared at her brow. 20 239 241

• The Image Rune is engraved beneath her left shoulder blade. 37
• The Illusion Rune is engraved beneath her right shoulder blade. 37
• Her activated tattoos emit a faint cyan glow and can surround her in water mist, making her figure appear ethereal or duplicated. 37
• Her Water God clone manifested with cyan hair and a noble, graceful appearance. 85
• After essence-blood refinement, she possessed both a gentle warmth and a markedly bewitching aura. 241

Personality

Rachel is intensely loyal to Lei Mo and takes pride in serving as his steward, Duchess, and companion. Though her admiration for him began as near-fanatical reverence for his strength, she later became a capable partner who could discuss territorial planning, academy affairs, and the management of Franklin City. 30 52 70

She is patient, affectionate, and notably unjealous toward Margaret and her own handmaidens. When Margaret arrived after Rachel's Saint Realm breakthrough, Rachel initiated their conversation and praised Margaret's prior cultivation. 71

Rachel also possesses resolve beneath her gentle manner. She endured the difficulty of advancing beyond Rank 9, pursued godhood to remain with Lei Mo eternally, and later spent thousands of years attempting to continue Lei Mo's bloodline before accepting divine-beast experimentation with her original body. 70 85 238

Abilities & Skills

Water Law Cultivation

Rachel specializes in the Water Laws and progressed from ordinary water-attribute battle qi into a distinct cultivation path shaped by her rune tattoos.

• Her original Frost Battle Qi evolved into True Illusion Battle Qi, which embodies “truth within illusion.” 52
• Her cultivation naturally gathers water elements into swirling mist and creates hallucinatory effects. 70
• She comprehended a water-element Soul Rune at the Ancestral Court and developed an affinity for an Initial Illusion Rune. 39
• Her godhood was attained through the Water Element mystery rather than directly through either tattoo's corresponding mystery. 86

Law Tattoos

Lei Mo tattooed Rachel using a mixture of Bailey's divine-beast essence blood and his own blood.

• The Image Rune and Illusion Rune enhance her affinity for the Water Laws. 37
• She could perceive Law fluctuations as a Rank 3 warrior, an exceptional result that astonished Lei Mo. 37
• The tattoos rapidly healed after activation and permanently altered her constitution toward water-attribute battle qi. 37 52
• Their activation can fill an enclosed space with water mist and create illusion-like afterimages. 37

Godhood and Sovereign Authority

Rachel formed her Water Godhead outside her body, granting her an original body and an independent Water divine clone. 85

• As a Water Chief Sovereign, she gained Sovereign abilities including Communication Parchment, Plane Projection, Energy Avatars, and Divine Sense. 237
• She leads the Water Sovereigns and presides over the Water Divine Realm's major decisions. 243 265
• She commands the Sovereign Army of the Storm Sea, which numbered nearly twenty million soldiers during the struggle for faith in the Material Planes. 265
• She distributed the Water Divine Codex to Sovereign soldiers as a soul inheritance that improves water-magic ability. 266

Essence-Blood Refinement

Rachel's Saint Realm original body was used for Lei Mo's Storm Mermaid divine-beast experiment.

• Her Sovereign-enhanced soul allowed her to refine Storm Mermaid essence blood with extraordinary speed. 238 239
• She refined fifty drops of Storm Mermaid essence blood, producing bloodline power that transformed both her original soul and Water Chief Sovereign clone. 242
• Her refinement altered her appearance and greatly enhanced the connection between her original body and sovereign clone. 241 242

Equipment / Items

• Rune Cube — A six-faced testing tool containing Strength, Sturdiness, Image, Illusion, Burning, and Light Runes; given to Rachel to test her elemental affinity. 30
• Original spatial ring — Lei Mo gave Rachel his original ring as both protection and a symbol of trust. 39
• Magic Bear leather armor — One of two sets made from the Wind-Thunder Magic Bear's pelt; the other was retained by Lei Mo. 40
• Crystal Palace — A crystal-clear Chief Sovereign Artifact that became Rachel's undersea palace. 264

• Count Bella — Rachel's father. His status was raised to Count after Rachel became Duchess. 32
• Margaret — Fellow companion in Lei Mo's household. Rachel welcomed Margaret after meeting her at the Seti Sea, and the two spoke without hostility or jealousy. 71
• Bailey — Lei Mo's divine-beast magic pet. Rachel was introduced to Bailey as the “mistress of the house” and treats it like a younger brother. 37 70
• Martina — Rachel's former teacher, who later continued serving her respectfully as a commander within the Storm Legion. 326
• Meniye — Water Sovereign who supports Rachel's authority and proposed that the Water Sovereigns rally around her. 243 265
