The trays were not initially offered for sale externally.
When the trays were finally taken out of storage after half a month, Louis sensed the lingering aura of his great sin on them.
The state of the lingering sin aura was not much different from Chloe's current state.
"Call someone… get my colleague over here!"
Chloe's originally calm expression gradually turned into terror.
Louis also thought of a terrifying guess:
"Have you been in the assassination unit this whole month?"
Chloe nodded with difficulty.
Louis felt a chill down his spine.
Without hesitation, he turned and ran to find the members of the Lokeshi Empire's assassination unit.
Perhaps because his performance on the battlefield was too outstanding today, as soon as he requested to meet the Lokeshi Empire's assassination unit members, someone quickly came over.
"Sir Caesar, is something the matter?"
"Your unit members have urgent intelligence to report."
The eyes of the assassination unit member instantly narrowed: "Please lead the way."
There were quite a few assassination unit members participating in the battle on-site.
Although many were already gathering intelligence from severely injured colleagues, Chloe was clearly not among the first batch.
After all, intelligence from those at the inner perimeter investigation was more critical.
Soon, the assassination unit member met with Chloe.
Chloe clearly stated, leaving Louis to listen to the specifics.
Then Louis heard incredible news from Chloe:
"For the past half month to a month, I've either been stuck in the Shadow Country or with the assassination unit."
"Apart from that, I've only met with a few friends."
"Remember to investigate quickly..."
"Also... Mr. Caesar, please apologize to my old hometown for me, I was simply too afraid."
Louis understood that he was talking about the destruction of his original hometown, and his panicked escape.
Not long after saying this, the light in Chloe's eyes faded.
"Chloe, wake up! Wake up!"
The intelligence personnel beside him shook his body.
But Chloe never made another sound.
"Stop shaking him, his heart has stopped beating."
Before the words were finished, he saw Chloe's body rapidly turn pale and gray as if it had been completely consumed.
A gust of wind blew past, and he vanished without a trace.
"The power of the divine creature... it's just too domineering."
Chloe's strength was not weak.
Not dying immediately indicated he didn't confront the divine creature head-on.
But the residual effects of the divine creature's actions mercilessly caused him severe damage, making even self-healing ineffective, causing his life to rapidly wither until it vanished.
This alone gives a glimpse into the terrifying nature of the divine creature.
"Indeed, strength must be further improved!"
As all the parties began to clean up the aftermath, the first legion from the Loksi Empire quickly followed.
They sealed off the surrounding area, and no one could leave temporarily.
To prevent a large-scale plague from appearing in this area, some severely injured personnel were forced to cremate here.
People like Chloe, affected by the divine creature's power, were spared this process.
After all, nothing was left of them.
The assassination unit member who obtained key intelligence from Chloe stayed by Louis's side the whole time.
Louis knew why.
The upper echelons likely issued orders to pay more attention to him during this period.
This was even more so after he learned the secret intelligence.
However, the repercussions from the trip to the Shadow Country continued.
Soon, a priest quietly arrived at the Moonlight Cat Cat Group's base, inquiring about Grace's situation.
Louis was curious why the priest would ask about Grace, so he asked Alice to inquire.
And then he received surprising news.
"The part of the divine creature split into monsters was taken care of by Grace?"
Louis looked at Alice, his expression slightly astonished:
"Are you sure they're not joking?"
Alice shook her head:
"The temple wouldn't be idly making up such things."
Louis pinched the bridge of his nose.
Well then.
He initially thought his exploits were already outrageous enough.
Who would have thought Grace was even more so?
Even if Grace is a future saintess, her recent surge in power is far beyond ordinary geniuses; she's officially advanced to LV5.
But LV5 being able to kill monsters spawned from the divine creature is truly incredible.
However, upon further thought, it became clear.
He had already heard from the Ense Empire's side.
The shadow divine creature was destroyed by the emperor, but before dying, it amassed its power into hundreds of monsters.
Even though these monsters only contained a fraction of the divine creature's power, they were exceedingly difficult to handle.
Louis could roughly guess why Grace was able to target such monsters.
Just like how she previously managed to pull back Chloe's life force.
Her divine art is not suppressed when targeting specific opponents.
Sorry, but having the blessing of the God of Glory and Justice is indeed remarkable.
Translated to a game setting, it's like other players are suppressed by the BOSS's stats, dealing only 1 point of damage to the BOSS.
But Grace's skill—
Your saintess' basic attack does true damage with critical hits.
Enemies of order like the divine creature perfectly fit the God of Glory and Justice's power targeting criteria.
No wonder the other temples approached them.
"They want Grace to assist with the divine creature cleanup?"
Louis looked at Alice and asked.
Alice nodded.
Louis pondered for a moment, then looked at Grace and said:
"When you killed those monsters earlier, did you feel your power increase?"
Grace shyly glanced at Louis, confirming he wasn't angry with her for acting rashly, then nodded.
When priests follow their deity's teachings, they can level up their profession.
Grace is even more so.
The God of Glory and Justice is an enemy of all chaos.
Clearing divine creature remnants is, for her, an experience gain.
There are still quite a few monsters spawned from divine creatures roaming outside.
In other words...
For Grace, it's like a walking XP pack!
What's there to say?
"Alright, just watch me fly you!"
He had encountered those monsters spawned by divine creatures.
Even he, after falling from legendary status, found them challenging to kill.
He initially thought they were native monsters from the shadow realm.
After all, Limuru could also absorb their power.
However, compared to corrupt shadow monsters, these were more difficult to digest.
He thought there was another reason.
Turns out these monsters are remnants of the divine creature!
Now it's clear that the divine creature's power made it hard for Limuru to digest them.
Considering these monsters were really hard to kill, he hadn't planned on continuing to take action.
But now, who could have imagined those spawned monsters would become XP packs?!
"Tell the priests, these monsters are ours to kill, even the God of Glory can't stop us, I said it!"
Louis went wild.
So, upon learning the news, the members of the Moonlight Cat Cat Group unhesitatingly joined Grace in monster hunting and leveling up.
Just as Louis was lively and energetic after his revival.
Though it wasn't convenient to kill the monsters, he had plenty of ways to restrain them.
What with Grip of Greed, material manipulation...
He'd just throw at a divine creature remnant at first sight.
Even though Grace seemed timid, when it was time to take action, she'd do so without hesitation.
This mentality, this combat quality, was almost comparable to Louis back then.
You must understand, the world Louis was transported to, he somewhat carried a playful mind.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have so easily become a battle-hungry maniac.
But Grace was different.
For those born and raised in the Star Continent, it's hard to escape mental limitations.
Grace was more outstanding than he expected!
Moreover, this battle...
It didn't seem to be a loss for him at all!
After assisting various forces to quickly clear the surrounding divine creature remnants, Louis looked at his palms and fell into contemplation.
While the quantity was small initially, it wasn't obvious.
But now he clearly felt... when the divine creature remnants were shattered, the scattered power was absorbed by him.
