Surviving The Fourth Calamity

’Aislin’ was completely unable to understand: ”Then, how was he sent out? Is the family insane?”

”With an identity like his, sometimes having too much talent is also a mistake.” Rosero said candidly, ”If it was just internal family strife, there might still be hope.

But when others, especially his father’s adversaries, know who he is and also know how much effort the Tower Master has put into him, naturally, they would come up with some other ideas.”

’Aislin’ hesitated for a few seconds before turning to him: ”So, the matter of Delphus was in your hands from the very beginning, wasn’t it?”

”As I’ve said~ the Defense Tower is very united externally.” Rosero smiled slightly, ”We find it difficult to send in even some eyes.

It’s not impossible to send them in, but... the Defense Tower has cooperation with the Tower of Dark Enigma, making the Soul Defense Array particularly outstanding.

Although the Tower of Dark Enigma has already been swept clean and its soul inheritance has completely disappeared.

But the arrays originally possessed by the Defense Tower are enough for them.

If the Defense Tower wasn’t situated too far away, and the Tower of Dark Enigma hadn’t lost control due to over-focusing on destiny and prophecy and excessive soul research, sending itself to a dead end, how could the once-powerful Tower of Dark Enigma have fallen to the point that only your Master remains as a strong individual.”

’Aislin’ crossed her legs and quietly turned on the sofa: ”Even though I know who I am, there is no way to completely erase the emotions and desires accumulated in the soul over so many years in a short time.

To put it bluntly, this is indeed a human body, naturally understanding of desire and emotion.

Unfortunately, as the emergence time of my soul grows longer, that feeling is starting to fade.

Although I do have some understanding of what kind of emotions evoke corresponding desires, but... it feels as if there is a layer of Crystal Wall in between.

Knowledge exists, but grasping it is impossible.

Truly...

Never mind, there will always be opportunities in the future.

Rosero, you do not need to test me, for now I indeed will not watch anyone lay hands on Master Ruth.

Moreover, I cherish the last bits of remaining feelings.

Even if it’s only the residual warmth of fingertips, I hope this warmth lasts as long as possible.”

Rosero gently bowed his head: ”Queen Sia once said you might end up like this.

And she required us not to lightly violate your taboos.

I was too cautious, please forgive my offense.”

”Ha~” ’Aislin’ waved her hand indifferently, ”I know, you actually always try hard not to care about what I’m doing or thinking.

It’s just that when my anomalies become overly apparent, you can’t pretend to see nothing entirely.

After all, my eyes might anytime become hers, right?

Rest assured, as long as you continue with your current demeanor, I won’t mind your occasional necessity.”

Rosero breathed a sigh of relief... although noticeable, sometimes one really has to let others perceive one’s carefulness.

He truly found it difficult!

Rosero now genuinely suspected that Glaysia might have messed up again.

The autonomy of this soul shard was a bit too high, so high that he suspected whether Glaysia had lazily or whimsically used a few too many slices of a strong soul when supplementing this soul with shard Crystals.

To create a soul that can be recognized by this world as human, besides integrating it during the embryonic stage, multiple layers of false masks need to be wrapped around the outside.

And these masks generally must be made from the souls of people in this world.

Glaysia, being the Princess of Hell, even if it’s her little lingering soul, to hide her without leaving any traces, requires a sufficiently powerful outer soul mask... Simply put, it must resonate deeply with the laws of this world strong.

At least a Ninth Ring Mage.

Although this may lead to some aftereffects, as even when thoroughly cleansed, souls that have been marked by laws are easy to awaken.

But as long as these soul slices are cut thin enough and each Soul Crystallization provides only one or two slices... scattered evenly, but none dominate the others, it will be fine.

Though demons like Rosero can’t sustain such consumption, Glaysia certainly can.

We’re not asking her to use up her treasures accumulated in Hell over the years.

In the past those years, Glaysia has amassed quite a few Mage souls from this world.

Even if she sometimes indulges her love of beauty and purity, surely there are enough soul Crystals to use.

Rosero pinched his fingers: Previous matters were tasks of Asmodeus, so a bit of Glaysia’s pranks were normal, understandable.

But this soul shard in the duplicate body, it’s Glaysia’s own... she can’t be messing with herself, can she?

Should be... right?

Although thoughts raced through his mind, Rosero still tried his best to use his most calm and gentle voice to explain to the knife-in-the-smile red-coated lady opposite: ”Delphus’s hatred towards the Defense Tower and that family is real.

And the Tower Master who had been deceived, after emerging from closed seclusion, found that his painstakingly nurtured child had been directly sent to the Sia Tower, naturally causing quite a commotion.

Although it is unclear whether he chose to turn a blind eye because of this, it is evident that our eyes were indeed sent in due to that disturbance.

However, considering that Delphus knew where the Defense Tower’s secret treasures were and managed to acquire them after its destruction, he was most likely deliberately indulgent.

Otherwise, he would have had to inform the other Tower Masters about what Delphus knew.”

”Where is that Tower Master now?” ’Aislin’ asked, somewhat perplexed.

”He fought with us until the last moment and self-destructed.”

Rosero’s answer left her even more confused.

”Why? He should have known his actions were damaging to the Defense Tower.

He already did things that betrayed the Magic Tower... why not...”

”The people of the Defense Tower, their thinking has always been hard to understand.” Rosero shook his head, ”Revenge is revenge, passion is passion.

Although we don’t understand, perhaps humans are just so complex?”

”That so-called family of Delphus...”

”The family he hailed from has already been completely wiped out.

That is a Junior Mage family Delphus salvaged from who knows where, and they are completely unrelated by blood.” Rosero chuckled, ”We certainly inspected carefully, and it’s even less than the defensive talents possessed by the Hainarson Family.”

”Gilbert?”

”He leans more towards constructing Strange Objects, and he isn’t really that impressive.” Rosero said dismissively, ”The Archmage of their family’s Defense Tower was an exception, not their family legacy.”

’Aislin’ nodded: ”That’s good.

I wouldn’t want my certain inclinations to affect that one’s true purpose.

Heh~ don’t look at me like that.

I understand clearly that I do not have the leverage to confront Glaysia, and I am quite aware of my own position.

I believe that if she truly stirs up some trouble, Glaysia would ultimately throw me out to vent her wrath.

To her, a doppelganger probably serves the greatest purpose of holding off that one’s fury.

Unless I have no thoughts, otherwise... who would just wait for death?

I can’t do much else, but trying to prevent this issue from starting with me, I can still make an effort.”

Her crimson lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of mockery.

Rosero also had nothing more to say: Clearly, the doppelganger created by Glaysia was not very successful.

At the very least, this doppelganger is unwilling to sacrifice her life for the main soul.

Though she would not actively oppose Glaysia, she also would not help Glaysia in any way... especially when that one obviously demonstrates a desire to wrestle with her own father.

In truth, Rosero also did not quite understand what Glaysia was thinking... Battling Asmodeus is understandable, but fighting with her own mother’s life is just...

If she succeeds, then fine, but if she fails, what good could come?

Previously, it was merely Bisozeya’s unwillingness to give birth, not that they cannot... However, the devils actually can comprehend that Queen of Hell’s reluctance.

Children of angels and devils cannot be made like deities, where two people’s divinity intertwines to create a child.

Normal childbirth is originally painful for females, and if the child inherits certain talents from the father and is excessively large, it’s practically escaping death.

Devils are originally creatures that prioritize themselves, willing to gamble once for an alliance already shows Bisozeya’s utmost sincerity, but why would she risk it again.

However, if she herself does not wish for this sincerity, then to ensure the alliance continues, Bisozeya would definitely choose to have another.

Especially since Asmodeus truly adhered to the initial agreement, and didn’t abandon this ally, paying an enormous price to resurrect her.

Glaysia causing trouble at this time, completely disregarding her future... is really odd.

She has been constantly entangled with this world’s Goddess of the Silvermoon’s Divine Crystal and the lingering Divine Fire within, surely she hadn’t received any enlightenment?

Speaking of it, this world’s Goddess of the Silvermoon seems to have a divinity related to prophecy?

She seems indeed to possess a thread of the Power of Destiny, although not as powerful as Toril’s former Tai Ji, but... stronger than that fortune-telling Crystal Ball.

At least, when Asmodeus noticed this world, she could immediately perceive it, and after feeling the darkness gaze upon her world, she made quite a few prophecies.

Anyway, in the end, her solution was to let humans appear in advance.

She did very well, aligning with the intentions of the Lord of Hell... It naturally leads to suspicion that the Line of Destiny she saw was Asmodeus’s doing.
