Very quickly, Thira understood why it was scheduled for next week.

Because Fire Island and the second Heaven Mountain would soon be completely fused.

The day Medea chose was precisely when the fusion would be complete. Due to potential contact between the two mountains during their integration, frequent vibrations might occur, risking damage to the buildings on Fire Island Manor.

So Thira seized the opportunity to offer numerous suggestions: like having Eleanor use her Holy Sword to imbue the flowing will, Sigrdrifa using her Frost ability to temporarily create ice to reinforce the fragile parts of the manor; Nora hurriedly rescuing her flowers and the stored kitchen supplies;

Peggy splitting into numerous clones using her Undead Illusion Sword to monitor the mountain's vibrations; Miel observing future lines to ensure a double monitoring system;

Mia standing by, ready to teleport instantly if Peggy detected something amiss, using the [Twist] skill to eliminate deformations and vibrations from collisions.

Thira herself positioned outside the manor, overseeing the entire operation. Incidentally, the reason the plan didn't include Aske and Medea was that Medea was about to ascend to Demigod rank, and Aske needed to watch over her nearby.

Thus, the plan began to operate flawlessly, creating an opportunity for Medea and Aske to be alone together by smoothly deploying all the girls.

In a distant underwater cavern, Medea had already prepared for her breakthrough.

"Who would have thought there'd be a cavern here?" Aske marvelled. The entrance was situated in the center of a reef protruding from the sea, thus posing no risk of flooding. "By the way, what is your fifth new skill?"

"I'll tell you once I ascend to Demigod rank." Medea glanced at him sideways, leisurely removing her shoes and socks.

For some reason, Aske felt that Medea appeared softer than usual today, her every gesture overflowing with allure, embodying an impressive and enticing demeanor.

"Alright then, let's begin." Aske said, finding a spot to sit down.

Then Medea began her breakthrough to Lv.20. As the Manipulation Law gradually materialized into pink falling petals, a certain sweet fragrance permeated the air, bringing a sense of tranquility to those who inhaled it.

The weaving of laws brought forth the domain prototype, and Medea began to gradually conceptualize, from her bare feet and ankles, up her slender smooth calves, thighs, to her hips and abdomen, slowly transforming into a mesmerizing light of flesh color.

Quickly, the cosmic law spectrum also began to vibrate over a small range, though not as violently as in the previous three instances, clearly indicating that in terms of law intensity, the Manipulation Law was slightly inferior.

A multitude of character symbols began to densely overlap within the realm of the universe's Demigod range, just about to form Medea's Demigod title when suddenly, as if disturbed, they became blurred.

"Did the breakthrough fail?" Many Demigods were collectively stunned and then immediately realized, "No, it's concealment! The law has the power to conceal itself, and the new Demigod doesn't want us to know the title and specific law!"

If the attempt to reach the Demigod threshold failed, these character symbols would disintegrate, and the corresponding laws would vibrate violently. However, the fact was these symbols were merely blurred but still faintly visible, indicating the title had been formed.

As the anomaly gradually dissipated, Medea reformed her body from the light... Aske looked at her with a smile, just about to speak, when he awkwardly turned his head away.

The Enchanting Demon Miss indeed reformed her body, but hadn't recreated her intimate garments.

"Ahem, seems like it was my first time conceptualizing my body, there was a slight error." Medea admitted with an embarrassed tone, "Don't turn around yet."

"Alright, I won't turn around." Aske obediently faced away from her.

After a moment, Medea's voice came from behind, "Okay, you can turn around now."

So Aske turned around just as something was suddenly shoved into his mouth.

Medea, who hadn't condensed any clothing, stood before him, her slender fingers pried his teeth apart, inserting something (like jelly) into his mouth, while initiating a certain ability.

In a fleeting moment of distraction, once Aske, relying on his Demigod spirituality, stabilized his mind again, he realized he had already swallowed whatever it was.

"What was that?" Aske grasped his throat, looking at Medea's face in bewilderment... deliberately avoiding looking below her neck.

He didn't believe the Enchanting Demon Miss would harm him, and besides, there were no alerts from the Intuition Sequence.

"Tea jelly." Medea responded, smiling sweetly.

"Why did it taste like jelly?" Aske asked, rubbing his stomach.

"Because it was in a jellied form." Medea continued to smile, "By the way, weren't you asking what my fifth skill is?"

"Oh, right, what is it?" Aske snapped back to attention.

"It's called 'Perception Blinding', its function is to silently lower the target's alertness, perception, and any sensitivity that would make him defensive," Medea said with a smile, "including the Intuition Sequence and Conspiracy Sequence."

"Oh." Aske instinctively began to analyze. This skill was indeed very valuable. After all, as a Mind Mage, Medea focused on being 'silent' and 'preemptive'. If the opponent had abilities like the Intuition Sequence, it would be very troublesome, so...

"Did you use this skill on me?" He suddenly felt something amiss.

"Yes." Medea approached him gracefully.

"Why?" Aske slowly retreated until his back touched the cave wall.

"Because to make you swallow that black tea jelly." Even though he had nowhere left to retreat, Medea did not let him go, directly reducing the distance between them to zero.

She rested her chin on Aske's neck and gently exhaled on his cheek, whispering:

"Guess what's in that black tea jelly?"

"It can't be poison, right?" Aske laughed dryly, feeling increasingly parched.

"No, it is poison," Medea said.

Aske: ???

"So you still have one choice left," Medea grabbed his right hand and placed it on her throat, "end it all with me now."

"You..." Aske was about to speak when he suddenly noticed the strength in his body rapidly fading. His fingers were already pressing against Medea's delicate skin, and with just a slight force, he could easily break her neck.

Medea closed her eyes, and raised her head slightly, as if waiting for him to act.

"Why are you doing this?" Aske finally asked, his body slumped powerlessly along the cave wall. In those few seconds of hesitation, he had already lost his final strength and could no longer take action.

"Because I don't want you to leave," Medea opened her eyes again and looked down at Aske who was lying on the ground.

"So, squad leader..." She took a woolen cushion from the corner of the cave wall, laid it flat on the ground, and then placed the collapsed Aske on it. "Even at the last moment, you still believe that I wouldn't harm you, and you're unwilling to kill me?"

Aske's lips parted slightly, already lacking the strength to speak, and it seemed even his vocal cords had lost control, only his breathing continued.

Medea knelt on top of him, pressing her hands against his chest. Aske looked at her with a puzzled expression, then saw two lines of tears flow from the Enchanting Demon lady's eyes.

"Aske, I..." she sobbed, "I love you, I don't want you to go... I told you, I would leave no stone unturned to keep you..."

"So why don't you... guard against me a little? You trust me so unreservedly, doesn't that make me, who uses this to poison you, a complete bitch?"

Aske: .........

What the hell, how is this my fault? And what are you doing here? A confession before a crime?

"Phew." Medea wiped away her tears forcefully, then smiled through her tears and began unbuttoning his shirt:

"Actually, that black tea jelly mixed with a Demigod Rank poison configured by Agrippina... Don't look at me like that, do you remember the Dragon Bone Sword you forgot, there was still a little bit of poison on it, the one that was applied when we wiped out the Wolf Family demigod, so the Demigod Rank is why you succumb without resistance..."

"I mixed Cerberus' saliva in there... Remember when the Empire set out against the Church Court, we encountered the Devil's attack in a small town in the Alps? I even reminded you that Cerberus' drool is corrosive, its blood is poisonous, but when mixed, it neutralizes the poison, turning into a safe, highly effective paralytic drug."

"The mixing with Agrippina's poison is the same, and I did many experiments and calculations. Even without mixing, the toxicity is too minimal to kill you. However, due to the rank, it still has the capacity to paralyze a demigod..."

She stripped off Aske's top, then started unbuckling his belt, babbling as she cried and laughed,

"Thira, that silly girl, actually helped me divert the other girls' attention... No, she's actually smart, just too naive to think in this direction. After all, almost everyone forgot I'm an Enchanting Demon, haha..."

"Aske, I said I would keep you, even if by any means necessary... You shouldn't trust me like that, shouldn't..." Finally, Medea tossed the clothes she was holding aside, her gaze dreamy as she looked at Aske, within which desire seemed to burn fiercely.

"I am Medea... I am Camellia... I am the next heir to the Enchanting Demon Queen, born to manipulate men and not to be manipulated, to have my thoughts ensnared, not even by you... Aske, not even you!"

She shouted excitedly, then softened her demeanor, pressing her slender hands against Aske's chest as if she feared he'd struggle, her voice becoming tender:

"So... so..."
