At that moment, Lynn finally understood the power of the enormous jinx he had brought upon himself.
Although he had vaguely felt that things could never end normally, and had considered the possibility of the Mechanical Church suddenly launching a large-scale attack at the last moment.
He still hadn't expected this.
His operation had actually drawn a projection and an avatar of two Root-Level beings directly into the fray!
And when the Mechanical Church finally made its move, it unleashed a Killing Move capable of destroying heaven and earth!
[Ding! You are using the teleportation ability to travel to "Happy Home." Would you like to proceed immediately?]
"Yes!"
In an instant.
The moment Lynn confirmed, the space around him began to warp. His body, entangled by the Mother Tree of Desire, immediately began to turn incorporeal under that twisted, curse-laden malice.
His consciousness also immediately established a connection with the cursed Old Castle far away on Soul-Lost Street.
At the same time.
Far away at Happy Home, a little girl in a white dress stood quietly in the garden within the empty courtyard.
Just as she had once done in her distant memories, she carefully tended and trimmed the vibrant flower buds in her own garden.
They flourished, growing strong and lush.
With scissors in hand.
She gently finished trimming the flower buds' long nails and hair.
As the breeze stirred her dress, the fine traces of meticulously healed stitches could faintly be seen on her pale skin.
Alice.
She, too, had been alone for a very long time.
Gently closing her eyes, she sat on the swing woven from long strands of flesh and vines. Like a little angel who had fallen into Hell, she seemed utterly out of place amid all the twisted things around her.
