Fratiss's gaze secretly shifted toward Lilith.

Lilith was there drinking a beverage, not noticing the gaze of the little glutton.

The other senior girls were also cheering around.

"Lilith, you're really not continuing your studies?"

"Even if you don't study, you have to come back and visit, or Miseria will cry!"

"Wha-What? I won't cry!"

Amidst the laughter and chatter, everyone finally finished their meal.

"Let's be clear, no drinking today."

Someone emphasized: "We're going to the Maze tomorrow, anyone who messes up, I'll kick the alcohol right out of her belly."

"Then let's have some drinks, Fufu, where's the juice you made earlier?"

"Huh? You all drank it up!"

"Someone go and make some more, exploring the Maze afterward is going to be torture."

Seeing this, Fratiss stood up and said:

"I'll go, I can make a little extra."

"You're making it for yourself, right? Fratiss, you really are greedy."

"Hehehe."

"Not denying it at all!"

Lilith saw Fratiss getting up to leave and followed her.

Chloe saw Lilith moving and finally revealed a comforting smile.

He rarely raised a glass of wine, preparing to down it in one gulp.

But Rephya beside him stopped him saying:

"We're going deeper into the Abyss of Woe tomorrow, don't drink."

"You're right."

Chloe smiled and didn't lift the glass again.

...

This leads to two stories.

On the other side.

Lilith stopped Fratiss and said:

"Where are you going?"

"Getting some juice for them." Fratiss looked back at her and said, "I... I'm leaving now..."

A somewhat panicked Fratiss tried to escape the battlefield.

Lilith hesitated and glanced at her, thinking the opportunity was just right, she said:

"Can-can we talk?"

Fratiss, who had already run off, froze in place, turned back awkwardly and said:

"I-I need to get juice."

Lilith approached her with an intimidating presence, sweat almost falling from her face:

"Just-a moment, spare me a bit of time!"

"I-I need to juice!"

"..."

"..."

"Then... you go get them juice first... I'll wait for you on the path."

"..."

Fratiss didn't speak, just silently ran off.

Lilith didn't know whether she agreed or not, so she walked by herself to the path to wait.

Every moment felt incredibly long.

After an unknown amount of time, Fratiss's figure finally appeared at the end of the path.

"Did you... enjoy the past two days?"

"...Very-very much fun, thank you, senior."

"...Good, that's nice."

Lilith took a deep breath, trying hard to control her emotions and said:

"Your Fantasy Show... was excellent... exceeded my expectations."

Fratiss's clear eyes slightly widened, not realizing the corner of her mouth was lifting, she bashfully said:

"...Thank you."

Lilith placed her hands on her legs, silent for a long, long time.

"About that previous thing... I'm very sorry... I owe you an apology."

Fratiss stood up, a fleeting yet indistinct anger flashed in her eyes:

"Why... why... apologize only now! Is it because of our bet that you're saying this?"

Fratiss felt very uncomfortable.

She didn't understand why she was experiencing such complex emotions now.

It was she who suggested to Lilith, that if the performance was outstanding, she would apologize.

But now, seeing Lilith apologize, she felt an inexplicable rage.

Why would the proud President Lilith apologize?

Annoying!

Annoying, annoying, annoying!

Everything is annoying!

Why is it like this?

[What do I... want...]

Fratiss herself no longer knew.

Lilith silently said: "No."

"If not, then what? If it's not because of the bet you lost, with your pride... for such a long time, you clearly showed nothing... and then because you lost the bet!"

Fratiss bowed her head, her voice clearly carrying sadness:

"Clearly, you just had to say sorry, just a word, it would be fine, but I wanted to hear you apologize, you even insisted I perform well first... Do you think I would certainly perform poorly?

Just like before, thinking my script was poorly written, and then vetoing it... and then you did such excessive things..."

[Ah!]

[I finally understand the reason I've been unable to let go for so long]

Lilith said somewhat bitterly:

"It's not like that."

"Not...? If not, then what is it...? Tell me!"

[Why didn't you tell me what exactly I did wrong]

Lilith's fingers anxiously intertwined:

"I... I didn't know how to handle it at the time... because I had more memories, I was very confused then, even doubted that I wasn't myself... that's why it caused misunderstandings..."

Lilith was very flustered.

She didn't know how to handle the current situation.

Clearly, she had sorted it out clearly with Chloe before.

The main issue wasn't even about herself.

But why did it turn into such a scene when it came to speaking?

[What should I say?]

"Back then, the reason why I said such hurtful things was because I was under too much pressure."

[I thought about apologizing at the time too.]

"No, no, these are all excuses, I was venting my temper, I'm sorry."

[The confusion of memories constantly resurfacing, the bewilderment of approaching death, made me feel like an outsider in this world]

"You just asked me why I'm apologizing only now, right? When I saw Miseria preparing for a performance, a doubt arose in my mind, if I had used her method from the beginning, would the result have been different?"

[Excuses, you're just avoiding, avoiding the instincts that spread from your body]

"You are actually all excellent, clearly as long as everyone happily prepares, a good result would come out, but I always followed my own ideas."

[Excuses, you're just too scared]

"Didn't consider the feelings of those around me, insisted on my own views, thought I was right, and regretted it afterward.

I know it's a bit late to say this now, just my damned pride..."

[All are excuses]

In a daze.

Lilith remembered what Fratiss, that little fool, said when she first met her.

"Being able to enjoy the process of participating in the Fantasy Show with everyone, working together, I really love that, choosing to join the Fantasy Association was definitely the right choice."

[Hearing you say that, for some reason, I felt a bit uncomfortable]

"I sincerely feel very sorry for hurting you just to preserve my face..."

[In the daze, I realized the difference between us]

[Indeed, I finally understood that complex feeling]

[Because I don't possess human emotions]

...

Ringing of bell sounds echoed through the church of the Ethereal Emblem.

At this time, in the outer city's top office of the Mayer Trading Company.

The president of the Fantasy Association, Dominator of the Mayer Trading Company, Ascender Mr. Charles slowly opened his eyes.

Beside him, a woman's illusion gazed at him silently and said:

"Louis, how is she?"

"Beatrice, I'm actually quite irritated."

Mr. Charles, no, the creator of the Dawn Era, Armored Hero, King of Redemption...

Louis Charles Julius.

He quietly sat there, swirling his wine glass and said:

"Our daughter is growing too fast, as a born Demigod, she only needs time to pass to embark on the Path to Divinity, she's progressing way too quickly."

The Divine Consort of the King of Redemption, Beatrice's illusion chuckled softly and said:

"So she has to walk the Path to Divinity again, she has seen the mortal world, but ultimately lacks something, if she reaches the summit, then this deficiency will never be remedied."

The King of Redemption sighed heavily.

The development path of The Stars highlights a shortcut to success, with not a single clean method among all the means.

Sneaking behind other World Groups in the early days was one thing.

After all, The Stars were weak at the time, and other top World Groups didn't care about them.

But after the battle in the Age of the Seven Heroes, the Bottomless Abyss was directly trapped by a trick, regardless of punches and kicks, ultimately unable to successfully retaliate.

Not only losing one Strongest, but two Strongest were created by the opponent.

Although one reincarnated, it's foreseeable that the Strongest would kill his way back from the long river of history.

After that battle, the Star Realm was shocked.

Worlds began to gradually focus their attention on this previously hidden "little place."

After all... those were two Strongests!

The Stars barely had a few Strongests.

The True God Uniqueness of the former Dark Night Goddess had already been divided.

Dark Night's sister, Lady Silver Moon even became a Subordinate God to other deities.

The Eternal Fierce Sun of the Strongest became a fireless ember.

It should have been the dimming moment of The Stars.

Yet, there was this unexpected change.

The more frightening thing is, over the years, the Bottomless Abyss hasn't genuinely shaken the foundation of The Stars.

Instead, in the Gu Cultivation Field extended from [Great Sin], it cultivated generation after generation of geniuses.

And all of this reached its peak about 7100 years ago.

All because of the old partner of the King of Redemption, Chloe the King of Pride reincarnated again.

This time.

He not only devoured the power of Pride but also devoured other True God Uniquenesses, ascending to [Filthy Sun Demon Monarch].

Indeed.

The Filthy Sun Demon Monarch had significant issues.

For instance, he couldn't bear the overwhelming power, leading to inevitable fragmentation.

But what of it.

Even if it's a moment of brilliance, it's a terrifying event beyond the current World Group's cognitive scope.

With Earth Divine Authority [Titan Race] as the bone.

With Dark Divine Authority [Dark Night Monarchy] as the flesh.

With Great Sin Divine Authority [King of Pride] as the skin.

Even swallowed half the Divine Authority of [King of Storms].

The rising Filthy Sun Demon Monarch successfully crushed all the deployments of Demon Hall, even causing many World Groups to tremble under the wake of the Filthy Sun.

Too terrifying.

If, in the 6000 years after the Age of the Seven Heroes, because of him and Ke, The Stars attracted attention from many nations.

Then after the battle of the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch, The Stars were intensely spied on by various forces.

The number of [agents] deployed internally in The Stars surged.

This triggered the most chaotic period of the Era of Turmoil.
