The Eve

"Since I've been asked to do this, I will naturally help you resolve your doubts."

Sera shook his head, but he hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence. Helping Paulette was of his own volition, but it just so happened to provide Pearl with some insights.

"Is that Mr. Screwllum?"

Pearl paused in thought, and Miss Machine felt a pang of sadness.

Was Mr. Sera helping him solely because of Mr. Screwllum's request?

Pearl was very puzzled. They had only just met, yet she had developed such feelings because of him.

Yes, this is our Herrscher of Corruption, the pinnacle of inorganic life, the succubus specializing in combat against Intellitron.

"Yes."

Sera nodded, but then, as if remembering something, she spoke up to explain.

"But what I said and did just now was not intentional; it was entirely based on my true thoughts. I hope Miss Pearl won't misunderstand."

"Learn."

Pearl's expression remained unchanged, but the stagnation in the internal algorithm disappeared, and her steps became lighter.

"Um?"

Pearl lightly pressed the communicator next to her ear with her right hand, and Sera also heard the sound. Because Pearl had chosen to play it out loud for him, Sera immediately isolated himself from the outside world.

"Mr. Seraphis, can you hear me?"

The sound of Diamond could be heard.

"Can."

Sera was somewhat puzzled.

Is something the matter?

Yes, and it's very serious.

Diamond's voice turned serious, and the relaxed atmosphere that had just been created by the greeting vanished.

"I found out... that there's a certain director behind Dual-Phase Paradise, but I can't reveal his name."

But judging from that technology, you should be able to guess who it is.

"Yes... I do know, and I've had her on my list of suspects from the very beginning."

Sera knew that the Diamond referred to Yaboli from the Technology Department, and the reason he had included her on his list of suspects from the beginning was because, in the original timeline, the Technology Department, carrying Yaboli's will, had retrieved the body of the Deathly Doom.

"I'm relieved that you know for sure. The clue I found is... she seems to have gotten her hands on the power of Voracity."

"Huh?! You're joking, aren't you?! You've got your hands Voracity gluttony!"

Sera was somewhat surprised, and he couldn't help but question it.

"Although everyone outside says that some of the company's senior executives are obsessed with Voracity, under Qlipoth's watchful eye, would anyone really dare to touch the power of Voracity?"

"Although it's difficult for me to say, that's the truth of the matter, according to my research."

Rest assured, as a follower of the Amber Lord, I would never lay a finger on the remnants of that Voracity.

"So, was she drunk? Daring to study the remains of a Aeon?"

Who does she think she is, a genius?

Sera now felt that there were so many amazing people in the company, and yet they were still so resilient in the face of so many incredible beings in the galaxy.

Is this Yaboli trying to turn the company into a buffet for resurrected Voracity to devour?

The other storyline, which involves Propagation, has already caused trouble for Lan. Does this storyline also want Oroboros to consume both Aha and Qlipoth at the same time?

Thank you for the information.

Sera stopped complaining and calmed herself down.

"Now that we've confirmed Oswald's goal is to obtain the power from the Voracity's remains, the operation can begin."

"Another of my colleagues has also arrived in the Lost Soul Star Region."

"I have set aside time to prepare for a high-level meeting, not in the name of the Minister of the Strategic Investment Department, but in the Preservation Emanator — Diamond."

Chairman Louis Fleming has also authorized me to speak on his behalf.

He asked me to tell you that he looks forward to meeting you.

"Oh?"

Sera's curiosity was piqued again. Listen to that—Louis Fleming, what a familiar name!

One of the founders of the Interastral Peace Corporation, when he stepped down, was seemingly helped by a Pure Child of Anāsrava briefly ascended to Fuli and appeared before him, thus consolidating his own karma.

He can be considered a veteran in the galaxy, after all, he is also one of the people rumored to be able to ascend to the "Beauty" Aeon.

Given that he stood at the pinnacle of galactic power and lived for so long, there couldn't possibly be many things he didn't know.

So why didn't he deal with Yaboli Voracity, instead of instructing Diamond to convene a board meeting now to eliminate her ally, Oswald?

The only reason I can think of fits this description is Sera herself.

I agree.

Sera's expression remained calm. Rather than pondering without any clue, she decided to personally go to the appointment to unravel the mystery. After all... Sera had the power to overturn the table.

As for why Louis would become interested in him, Sera believes it's probably related to the realm of the Aeon.

"I won't bother you any longer. I wish Mr. Seraphis all the best."

"Yes, you too."

Sera withdrew the barrier and looked at the Pearl.

"Let's go, Miss Pearl, tomorrow is..." Sera was about to say that they would deal with Oswald tomorrow, but then he remembered something... Tomorrow was the day he had promised Kiana. Should he and Kiana wear the same clothes to fight?

Sera still wanted to save face...

"Sigh, I'll take care of it tonight."

"Um?"

Pearl was puzzled, Pearl thought, Pearl nodded.

"Understood, I'll inform my colleagues."

"Give me the coordinates, and I'll grant him access."

Pearl listened to the voice in her earpiece and recited a series of coordinates.

He will land in the Dual-Phase Paradise within half a system time.

"Perfect timing, it will be nighttime in half an hour."

It's time to bring this Holy Grail War to a close.

Sera took out her phone and added everyone to a group chat.

Note: Finality may join at any time.

Okay, let's meet at the usual place.

"The usual place?"

"Just stay by my side and follow me."

Sera led the way, and the usual spot happened to be near the park.

"A coffee shop?"

"Well, since we mostly chat here, we assume that we'll discuss things here or in the Tavern."

Pearl silently memorized the information.

(Data recorded: The usual place - Two-Dimensional City Coffee Shop.)

Please have a seat.

Sera ordered two coffees.

"I didn't know what flavor you wanted, so I chose the same one as me."

Thank you.

"Well then, Miss Pearl, let me now give you my real advice."
