The Operation Begins

"Miss Belle, and Miss Ye Shunguang. See you next time!"

After the battle ended, Eden smiled at Belle and Ye Shunguang in farewell.

However, she did not vanish. Instead, she headed toward the Lemnian Hollow.

"As expected of Sister Eden, she's truly so elegant!"

Like an obsessed fan, Belle looked at Eden with hearts in her eyes.

Only after Eden disappeared from view did Belle snap back to her senses.

Wait, where was Sister Eden going?

The direction she had left in seemed to be the site of the first Corruptive Breath outbreak.

It was also where the Praise Society had held the Last Banner Rite, wasn't it?

Belle hurriedly looked at Griseo and asked, "Griseo, are you planning to have Sister Eden help the Obol Squad?"

"Yeah! Sister Belle, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Griseo answered. She had already beaten Pelois into submission.

Now, it was time to begin the next phase of the plan.

Although she was willing to trust the various forces in New Eridu, she could not simply leave everything alone.

She still needed to provide a safety net and make sure there would not be too many casualties.

"Griseo, why Sister Eden? Isn't she an artist?"

Belle was even more confused.

Didn't the Signets of [Gold] represent art and talent?

Like Astra Yao, Sister Eden should have been a superstar, not a combatant, right?

"..."

Griseo responded to Belle's thoughts with silence.

"Hehe... Elegance is only the surface before she tears off her disguise!"

Just as Griseo did not know how to explain, a somewhat irritable voice abruptly cut in.

"Brother Jie... you're going too?"

Belle looked toward the voice in surprise.

That familiar tone—sharp-tongued but soft-hearted; that mysterious mask he never took off...

Who else could fit those conditions besides Qianjie?

"Of course.
