Underground Trier, inside an abandoned Quarry Cavern.

Hella watched as the Transparent Distortion Worms died, but found no Beyonder Characteristic released.

She turned her head to look at the Slumber Lumian and Franca, and only after confirming that they had both escaped their near-out-of- Loss of Control state under the Soothing of the Evernight and Dream, and that their breathing had become steady, did she release the ability to force them to sleep.

Two seconds later, Lumian suddenly opened his eyes and leaped up like a leopard.

He instantly created three Crimson Flames, illuminating the Mine.

As he looked around warily and blankly, Franca, whose mental state was more severely damaged, rubbed her head and got up in fear.

The next second, she saw Hella dressed in Black Widow-style Dress and the familiar soft hat with a veil, and blurted out, "' Lady. Hella,' what brings you here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it, because it revealed that she was also a member of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society".

If it weren't for that statement, she could still pretend that she wasn't "Sleeve Sword," but just Charles's friend.

"'Hidden Sleeve Sword '?" Hella asked.

Franca gave a dry laugh:

"Yes, how did you recognize me?"

"You're the only ' Witch ' in the Society," Hella replied calmly.

Franca was even more embarrassed and replied nonsensically, "I recognized you by your appearance and demeanor; you didn't even show your face at the party."

When the two recognized each other, Lumian's vigilance and defensiveness obviously eased, after all, Lady. Hella had arrived, at least his safety could be guaranteed.

He then saw the two Marionette lying on the ground, lifeless, and the pool of flesh and blood teeming with transparent Maggots.

"Is that ' Loki '?" Lumian pointed to the gruesome, mushy flesh.

Hella turned her gaze in that Past:

"Right."

Lumian paused for a moment and then said, "He's dead?"

Hella nodded slightly and said, "She died through a self-created Loss of Control, but she did not die completely."

"Huh?" Franca asked in confusion.

It's shattered beyond recognition; maggots are crawling out, and it's still not completely dead?

She had figured out why Lady. Hella had appeared. It must be that Charles had used her as bait again and written to Lady. Hella to clean house!

Hella looked at Lumian and said in a cold voice, "It's not only high-ranking Witch who can Resurrection; high-level ' Seer ' can too. Loki must have worshipped an Evil God in this field, and with his own special abilities, he was able to abandon his body after death and Resurrection in a pre-prepared place, carrying his unique characteristics."

"Unfortunately, I didn't foresee this. If I had prayed for the true Concealment beforehand, he wouldn't have been able to Resurrection, and his Beyonder Characteristic would have remained."

The Lady calmly recounted her oversight, offering no excuses and showing no sign of remorse.

Lumian gazed at the pool of Maggots- infested, rotten flesh and blood, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

He curled the corners of his mouth and said, "It's fine."

"If he died like that, I would be disappointed. How could it not be that I killed him with my own hands?"

As Lumian said this, Flames Burning fiercely within him, filled with an intense desire for High-Sequence power.

Loki was incredibly powerful; even when he and Franca teamed up, they were almost turned into Marionette by him. However, Hella, who was suspected of having advanced to Sequence 4, easily defeated him, and the time it took was less than ten seconds.

--Lumian knew that once he unleashed the aura of the "Blood Emperor," he would inevitably attract the attention of the Market District's Official Beyonder, who would likely request the help of the Church's Saint. Therefore, once "Hella" came looking for him, he had to control "Loki" within ten seconds and relocate him, otherwise he would most likely be blocked by the Saint Angel of Trier.

This is Half-God!

Thinking about his future revenge against Loki and the others, his plans to eliminate those followers of the Evil God, and the high-level power he genuinely believed in, Lumian couldn't wait to quickly summarize more "Pyromaniac" Acting Principle, digest this Potion within the Future two or three months, and attempt to advance to "Conspirer."

Seeing that Lumian showed no regret or disappointment, but instead was full of fighting spirit, Hella nodded almost imperceptibly.

Lumian, still staring at Loki's Corpse, asked, "Which Evil God did he worship?"

Upon hearing this question, Franca's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Hella, saying, "It couldn't be...?"

The "Pleasure Witch" paused for a moment, then switched to a complex language that Lumian could not understand:

"Blessed One of Heaven and Earth..."

Hella interrupted her:

Have you forgotten that I can't understand either?

"Uh..." Franca couldn't help but slap her head.

I'm such a pig-brain!

Hella continued, "Speak in Old Feysac or Intis language, and remember to pause after each paragraph and talk about something else."

Franca hummed in agreement, then, after organizing her thoughts, said in Old Feysac, "Blessed One of Heaven and Earth, Immortal Venerable..."

Hella interrupted her again, and chatted with her for a few moments about the situation when she was attacked by Loki.

Then Franca continued the previous topic:

"Blessed One of Heaven and Earth, Celestial Lord..."

Lumian and roughly understood why Lady. Hella had asked them to do this.

This was to prevent Franca from reciting That One Evil God Honorific Name, lest she be noticed by him.

"Blessed One of Heaven and Earth, God Almighty..." Franca repeated the third paragraph, then rubbed her head and said, "When I heard ' Loki ' recite this part, I felt like I was Banishment to another world. Everything was blurry, everything was unclear, and everything I thought was unusually sluggish. I only vaguely remember that there was another sentence."

Hella also added in Old Feysac: "Blessed One, Mysterious Yellow, Celestial Worthy."

This time, she even broke up a single description twice.

"The style of this Honorific Name is quite strange," Lumian, not hiding his doubts.

This was quite different from the Honorific Name the Deity he knew, such as "The Fool" and "The Eternal Blazing Sun." Both the format and the wording gave the impression that it came from another Civilization.

Franca frowned:

"Now that you mention it, I'm thinking about something."

"What is it?" Lumian asked cooperatively.

Franca was about to speak when she suddenly closed her mouth again.

She looked at Hella and said with an awkward smile, "You don't mind if I help Charles infiltrate the Society to investigate the ' April Fool's Day ' group, do you?"

"He had my permission," Hella replied calmly.

Franca maintained her previous "humble" smile:

"Would you mind if I... I told Charles the secret of Transmigration as well?"

Hella fell silent for a moment, then after several seconds said, "What's the use of me caring now?"

"You two were Concealment?"

"I only briefly explained it to Charles because the ' April Fool's Day ' group is suspected of killing a ' Muggle,' and investigating them inevitably involves our secret." Franca suddenly remembered that it wasn't all bad news and quickly added, "Besides, Charles really helped us find clues related to Transmigration, and even found a possibility to return to our world!"

After saying that, she put on an expression that said she had already made up for her mistake with good deeds.

"What clue?" Hella asked, blurting it out for the first time.

Franca quietly exhaled and said, "This is rather complicated. Let me first tell you what those Honorific Name reminded me of."

"We've been exchanging ideas with each other, hoping to find commonalities and similarities in what each person did before their Transmigration, so as to find the reasons. Some of them received strange cell phones, some entered an abandoned ancient temple in the mountains, and some studied folk culture. But I can't explain what I did that caused it. It's not that I can't remember, but that I did too much."

"As you all know, I love novelty. I want to buy new phones, play new games, try new restaurants, and even make my own costumes to Acting large exhibitions. I did so many things before Transmigration that I can't figure out which one made me Transmigration."

"When I heard Loki reciting those Honorific Name, I remembered. That night I played a new game called ' Terror Strikes,' and there was a Concealment Monster in it who worshipped something like the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth."

Although Lumian didn't understand what Franca meant by "game," he fully grasped the core meaning his companion was trying to convey:

Her Transmigration to this world seems to be related to the "Loki" faith's "Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth"!

Hella, with her light blonde hair naturally flowing down her back, listened quietly, then pondered before saying, "I don't have a similar impression. As I mentioned before, before I Transmigration, I was reading some books on niche mythology, which mentioned a Deity skilled in Deceit and pranks, very similar to Loki..."

Franca's eyes lit up; she had a guess:

Could it be that Loki Transmigration by directly reciting those four Honorific Name? So, as soon as he Transmigration, recalled what he had done, and tried to recreate it, he established a connection with That One Evil God?

"Yes, he always speaks vaguely when discussing similar issues, and some group members were the same way on ' April Fool's Day '..."

"Were we all sent here by that Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth? Or perhaps He is in this world and pulled us here?"

He is highly suspicious!

Hella thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "At the next gathering, we can bring up this topic again and communicate with others with a clear direction."

Franca paused for a moment and asked, "Will the ' April Fool's Day ' group still show up?"

"There probably aren't any problems," Hella said calmly. "Even if we urgently convene a meeting now, we'd have to notify everyone individually. That's enough time for Loki to Resurrection and alert his accomplices."

Lumian raised an eyebrow:

Why notify everyone? Just invite the group members from the April Fool's Day's Day group to the emergency meeting; they don't know if the others will come anyway.

"Notifying just a dozen or so people won't take long."
