The young girl stood atop the massive White Snake, the gentle breeze lightly brushing her long hair.
Beneath her, the Capital lay in ruins, buildings like toppled blocks, with the figures of humankind appearing so tiny.
Though she could fly to such heights herself, the feeling of standing and overlooking was uniquely different.
The sun cast down from the distant horizon, coating her silhouette with a golden outline. The Hero squinted, calmly scanning the ants below.
"It's not time yet..."
'Soon, all of this will be crushed—'
Yet, feeling the excitement brimming from another self within her, the Hero's eyebrows involuntarily furrowed in helpless lines.
'Can't you hide your thoughts a bit?' she sighed in her mind, 'That way, if I'm judged as a magic creature later, I wouldn't be able to argue.'
'Ah, what are you saying? If I'm not a magic creature, then who is?' the Depraved Hero retorted immediately.
'Weren't you the one who warned me about the dangers of the prophecy to begin with...' The Hero smiled wryly.
'Then let me remind you again, we are currently looking for the right moment, ready to cause a huge commotion with two Fantasy Species in this Kingdom's Capital.'
'Even if this is already a battlefield, it doesn't mean magic creatures can casually smash the rest into pieces.'
The Depraved Hero sneered.
'You also understand, the safest way is to temporarily abandon the rescue of the Noble Lady and join forces with that pastor to kill the sub-key.'
'Yes, I do understand.'
The Hero's lips curled slightly.
'But you wouldn't agree to do that, would you? After all, you're quite the rebel.'
The Depraved Hero was silent for a moment, then scoffed, her tone full of defiance and anger:
'...Of course, I kill whoever I want to kill, and if I don't want to kill, no one can boss me around. Damn that Black Gate bastard, why should I suffer this?'
'That's why I don't care about any of that, quickly drink the potion! I want to drag that bastard out and kill him!'
'Haven't I said it already, it's not time yet...' The Hero's voice was calm, like a hunter waiting quietly for prey.

Suddenly, the Hero's emerald eyes narrowed, her gaze fixed on a distant location.
"—Found it."
The mastery of the Key of Transformation in space magic undoubtedly exceeded the Hero's imagination.
Even with the Divine Knowledge Saintess trapped, internal aid assisting, and all favorable conditions in place...
To set up such an enormous ceremony covering the entire city without the royal family, guild, or the Capital's vast population noticing, such an ability is beyond ordinary reach.
Not only did he accomplish this awe-inspiring setup, but throughout the past month, he maneuvered skillfully with the Capital's many strong figures, indeed weakening the heart of this Kingdom's life.
This level of magic ability had already reached a height unimaginable to the Hero.
—However, even a spellcaster of this level could not conceal the fluctuations of the final exchange ceremony.
As the tsunami-like space ripples spread, powerful magic power auras exploded rapidly in every part of the Capital, especially the area centered on the royal palace.
Clearly, the powerful figures in the Capital were aware of the Key of Transformation's plot and were trying to rush over to stop it.
Magic power groups stronger than those of the Winged People Clan Leader soared into the sky, resonating, but before these powerful figures could approach the target, in the Hero's perception, the entire space of the Capital was crumpled like paper by an invisible giant hand, with invisible cracks and chasms spreading like a spider web, shattering the entire city.
Even the area where the Hero was located was sealed by countless space cracks, with the scenery before her becoming dizzyingly distorted, transforming into a tangible yet void prison, completely isolating passages.
"...Very high-level magic, to unravel it will take quite a bit of effort, and forcing through would be an unimaginable expenditure."
The White Snake flicked its tongue, its scarlet vertical pupils glimmering with vigilance and scrutiny, keenly perceiving the complex changes in the surrounding space.
"Mm, I understand." The Hero nodded, her gaze remaining calm.
Clearly, this was also one of the final means of the Key of Transformation.
By completely dividing the space of the Capital, he turned the entire city into a collection of isolated islands, blocking any interference from the strong figures.
Without this level of insurance, he wouldn't have dared to hastily initiate this largest-scale exchange ceremony. And as the prophecy stated, she wouldn't need to drink the Magic Origin Secret Medicine to stop him.
Although the previous ambush by the Mage Group proved that the opponent could eavesdrop on the Divine Knowledge Saintess's prophecy like the sub-key, it also proved that he couldn't personally deal with her while presiding over the ceremony.
And according to the center of the spatial fluctuations, the Hero had successfully locked onto the location of the ceremony.
For a grand ceremony of this level, continuing to disguise one's position is impossible, thus necessitating obstacles like this one to delay time. The Hero could feel that the magic power auras of the various powerful figures had also unanimously locked onto that center point of spatial fluctuation.
However, the countless chasms between spaces, like insurmountable abysses, loomed before every strong figure attempting to take action.
They weren't mere impediments, but voids where everything was lost, an absence of matter and magic power.
There are two ways to break through this obstruction:
One is to rely on extremely powerful space magic to create paths through the void, bridging gaps as required. However, this method also requires precise ritual casting, taking a long time, and is difficult to complete in a short period;
