Daybreak

"Ombella."

Lumian heard the Termiboros repeating Lugano's words.

"You've heard of him?" Lumian was surprised that such a name, which he had no connection with, could make Termiboros hadn't spoken in a long time, open his mouth.

"No, I've never heard of that before today." Lugano thought the question was directed at him.

Termiboros remained silent and did not reply.

It seems the Divine Child's true name is a bit problematic... and it sounds like Women's name. Well, the "Villain" Pathway, reaching Sequence 5 ("Banshee"), transforms one into Women, while Sequence 0 of the "Earth" Pathway is "Earth Mother," both clearly indicating Women identity. Add to that the title "Great Mother," and it's highly probable that the Divine Child is Women; it makes perfect sense... Lumian glanced at Lugano and smiled, saying, "It's a good thing I haven't heard of it before, otherwise one day you would become the so-called mother of the Divine Child."

After saying that, Lumian glanced at Ludwig, who had somehow ended up on the living room balcony, and Past with steady but slow steps.

He followed Ludwig's gaze and looked up at the deck, where he saw Captain Pedro and others examining Father Montserrat's Corpse.

Lumian asked thoughtfully, "Is it edible?"

He meant, is Father Montserrat's Corpse edible?

He merely refused to possess items from the Church of the Earth Mother, including the Beyonder Characteristic extracted from Father Montserrat, but he did not promise to preserve the Corpse intact.

It's quite normal for Corpse to be partially damaged during a fierce battle!

Ludwig shook his head:

"Not yet."

"Alright." Lumian turned his gaze away with considerable regret.

This way, he couldn't know why Father Montserrat could have such a close connection with the unseen Divine Child, and why a small section of umbilical cord had even grown in his stomach. He also couldn't confirm whether the previous Primpino was a product of Father Montserrat's Human Transmutation.

He could actually tell that Father Montserrat was severely Corruption, but he hadn't expected it to be to the point of being almost "Madwoman."

Of course, it was still not as good as the "Madwoman's" Corpse, after all, it was something that even Ludwig considered too dirty.

As for "Spiritism," according to Lumian's knowledge, spirits driven away by "Ghost Exorcism" cannot be summoned for a certain period of time, and therefore cannot be communicated with. After a certain period of time, "Spiritism" becomes worthless.

Back in the living room, Lumian in Armchair, unbuttoned his Black Waistcoat and Linen Shirt, and said to Lugano, "Come and treat me."

Lugano glanced at the simple bandages and the various wounds, some still bleeding, and exclaimed in astonishment, "So serious?"

"You think Father Montserrat is easy to deal with? If I hadn't risked injury, I might have been the one who died," Lumian replied with amusement.

Lugano subconsciously denied it:

"That's not what I meant. I meant, you were seriously injured, how come your clothes and pants are completely undamaged?"

"Of course I changed before coming back," Lumian replied calmly, enduring the pain.

His "Traveler's Bag" contained nearly a dozen identical shirts, vests, and trousers, though the vests came in several colors, including several black ones.

The only problem was that the Golden-Yellow Straw Hat was set ablaze in the explosion and burned to ashes.

However, this was no big deal for the Great Adventurer Louis Berri, who had made sure to stock up on several of the same ones when he left Falin Port.

That's the advantage of having a "Traveler's Bag"; otherwise, where would you find the space to pack so much useless stuff in a suitcase?

Lugano dared not ask any more questions and focused on treating his employer.

He originally wanted to Surgery Knife remove the partially charred skin before treatment for the best results, but Lumian stopped him, telling him to just do a simple job and that would be enough.

With everything returning to normal by Six in the Morning, Lumian had no desire to endure the torment of Surgery without anesthesia again.

After his pain and injuries were brought under control and he recovered greatly, Lumian returned to his room, spread out a letter, and reported to the "Magician" Lady about Father Montserrat and the true name of the Divine Child.

He always took matters involving evil and pictures about gods and so-called Divine Child very seriously, believing that such matters should be left to his superiors to worry about.

If Mr. K hadn't been without Messenger, he would have copied him on the Past, changed a few sentences, and let the Divine Emissary of the "Aurora Order" know about this. As for what to do next and how to do it, that's not something an ordinary member like him, Minor Arcana, needs to worry about.

Moreover, he realized that the Tarot Club and the Aurora Order were on the same page when it came to combating Evil God Evil God, especially those infiltrating from Outside the Barrier. Whether he was a member of the Tarot Club's Minor Arcana or a formal member of the Aurora Order, he had a responsibility in this regard.

Nearly ten minutes later, Lumian wrote down everything that had happened, including Termiboros's reaction, on the letter without missing a single detail.

Then, he summoned That One "Doll" Messenger.

After arguing with Ludwig, when the other party was nearby, the "Doll" Messenger always came and went in a hurry, rarely lingering for more than a few words.

In a clean and tidy bedroom in the Kingdom of Loen, Backlund.

The "Magician" Lady, who was lying in bed enjoying a nap, suddenly sat up.

She muttered to herself in confusion, "A spiritual warning?"

Is something important about to happen?

The "Magician" Lady had just poured herself a glass of Sonia Blood Wine and hadn't even started her Astrology when she saw the "Doll" Messenger appear on her Desk, placing a folded square of letter paper next to a dark red ink Fountain Pen.

Lumian's letter... Has the problem with that priest from the Church of the Earth Mother been discovered? It wasn't for nothing that I gave him a hint... The "Magician" Lady let the wine glass float in mid-air, picked up the letter, and unfolded it.

As she read to the end, her expression suddenly Change, and she whispered the name repeatedly:

"Ombella?"

The true name of the Formless Divine Child is actually this?

Did my spiritual warning come from it?

This is something worth discussing at the regular "Tarot Club" meetings...

After a while, having indirectly confirmed it through "Astrology," the "Magician" Lady sat down, watching as the dark red ink Fountain Pen jumped up on its own, removed its cap, and began writing Vocabulary on the Imitation Sheepskin Paper to express her thoughts:

"Ombella is a name Concealment in Historical Fog, possessing strong Mysticism symbolic significance..."

"I don't know if using Ombella as the true name of the Divine Child is related to the secrets of the Second Epoch, that is, the period when the Ancient God ruled the earth before the ' Ancient Sun God ', or That One ' Great Mother ' is using that strong Mysticism symbolism to gradually erode the Authority of the ' Earth Mother ' and even Herself."

"If we can uncover that Concealment from ancient times, perhaps we can find the answer."

"The That One who believes in the ' Aurora Order ' might know a little about it."

Looking at the reply written on Imitation Sheepskin Paper in his hand, Lumian had a feeling that the "Magician" Lady was hinting that he should inquire with Mr. K from the "Aurora Order".

He continued reading the following content:

"In short, Ombella belongs to an ancient race of Giant and was once known as the ' Harvest Goddess ' during the era when the Ancient God were active. I can't tell you anything else for now, and you don't need to specifically investigate this matter. Just keep an eye out for the ' Earth Mother ' Church's Divine Grace, members of the ' Night Tour Society ' and the ' Divine Descent School.' We will follow up on it. Of course, we might assign you one or two small tasks at that time."

"Harvest Goddess"... So it really is related to the "Earth" Pathway... Lumian burned the letter in his hand with Crimson Flames, stood up, returned to bed, and listened to the movements of the entire ship while pretending to be asleep.

His body was completely healed by Sun, and nothing unexpected happened.

Lumian returned to the living room and asked Lugano, who had gotten up an hour earlier and was clearly not sleeping well, "Can you still hear the baby crying?"

"No," Lugano replied, unable to hide his joy yet also a little nervous.

He felt that he needed to observe for a few more days before drawing a final conclusion.

Lumian laughed:

"Indeed, seeking Father Montserrat's help is the only way to completely resolve your aftereffects."

Lugano's words caught in his throat, and he almost choked.

So that's what you meant by asking me to ask Father Montserrat for help?

Killing Father Montserrat would completely resolve my lingering issues?

Lumian took a few steps toward the balcony, then said, "Go find Ennio later, use his follow-up appointment as an excuse to check on his condition."

Well, Ennio was saved by Father Montserrat's Surgery. Since Father Montserrat had problems, he might also have... Lugano was a little worried about going to find that Patient, afraid of encountering danger again, but seeing the Sunlight gradually brightening outside the window and the sky gradually turning red, he inexplicably felt at ease.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lugano returned and told Lumian that the special Patient was recovering very well, and there were no signs of Surgery failure or hidden dangers, nor did the patient show any symptoms of Corruption.

Almost simultaneously, Captain Pedro came to Lumian and said that the ship would temporarily dock at a port so that the people of the Church Earth Mother could come aboard to collect Father Montserrat's Corpse and belongings, and take away the relevant personnel.

He specifically emphasized that the Church the Earth Mother explicitly stated that the relevant personnel did not include the Great Adventurer and his servants.

Lumian smiled, not responding to the captain's words, appearing very confident and certain.

Around noon, several Combat Nuns and a priest in brown Priest boarded the ship and took Ennio and the others away.

Seeing Ennio, bewildered and terrified yet powerless to resist being "invited" off the ship, Lugano sighed as he watched from the balcony.

"He's fine now, so why arrest him?"

Lumian chuckled:

Do you think you can just say you don't have it and then it doesn't?

"On the bright side, once the Church of Earth Mother confirms there are no problems, he might be able to get an Clerical Work within the Church, allowing him to interact with the Combat Nuns every day."

Lugano fell silent for a moment, then said after a few seconds, "But that also means losing freedom."

"He's a victim..."

"Freedom?" Lumian scoffed. "Freedom is contingent on not harming others."

That being said, seeing the terrified and nervous Ennio, and thinking of Father Montserrat who died with his normal personality, he still remembered a strange short phrase his Older Sister would occasionally say:

All living beings suffer.

Ugh!

The Whistle, and it was time to set sail again.
