Elon heard every word that was spewed, all of them were forced into her brain as if a funnel was gushed into her skull, listening to the flowing water that was poured.

She looked at the halo once again, her mind calmed down a little.

"... What is your purpose…?"

"Certainly by now, your 'system' would've given you a quest that is affiliated with me." MF dug through Elon's reaction. "They promised you a reward, no?"

"A Soul Binding Orb… and ten immortal loot boxes…"

"Pfft! Only that much?" The Ouroboros sneered as she held her laughter. "You do know that being someone who is affiliated with me holds much, much, and much more than just ten randomly generated rewards, and a single soul stealing ball. Correct?"

"Yes…"

MF stood, she then unconnected her consciousness strings from Elon's Soul Center, rendering the chimaera's heightened perception to blind once again.

"I want you to give up your 'system', in the exchange of being nurtured by me." MF showed a wide grin. "Fortune would be extremely happy if you said so as she didn't care about the method or the kind of guidance that gave you any sort of benefits.

"As long as you end up becoming stronger, it will be a win-win situation for all of us. Choose well, lass."

Elon pursed her lips, she never knew that the time for her to pursue the bigger picture of everything would come.

What the Ouroboros just said was right to her, Fortune would probably give and ask for the service from the system to help her grow stronger as it didn't matter as long as she was in the control of the Luck Goddess.

The fact that she got here, trapped, and forced to make this decision in the first place, was a clear sign that all of this didn't give her goddess patron any demerit at all.

'I'm scared.'

Her heart beat slowly, as if she was on the verge of unconsciousness while getting haunted by the relentless thought of not having any freedom in her choices at all.

Elon utterly despised getting herself meddling with the problem of this world. She didn't want to become a part of it, her former life had gone to ruin just because she was forced to acknowledge the rule and the ideologies at play.

MF approached her and raised her chin to face her. Elon's heart skips a beat due to the charm that the Ouroboros exuded. She gazed at her long red eyelashes that slowly turned into black at the tip.

She laid her frame at her alluring eyes, and the thirsty yet enticing smile of the Pseudo-Deity that slowly leaned forward to her.

"Elon Suykar, I want you~"

Definitely not in a sexual way.

Elon's cheeks reddened. Her flustered eyes wandered around the corner to dispose of the beautiful face of MF away from her vision to no avail.

Elon closed her eyes, gritting her teeth as she tried to look away. "Y-yes! Just do anything you want!"

'Heh, she is easy to convince.' Despite doing this in her divine realm, MF felt a huge goosebumps crawling from her back. 'I really hope that Foel didn't see this!'

MF backed away, showing her back to Elon before sprawling her deadly sharpened consciousness strings to annihilate the existence of the latching system on Elon's soul.

Just like a dissector and an experienced doctor doing an operation, MF meticulously disarmed and diced the 'system' from Elon's soul with extreme precision.

It was so precise that Elon didn't feel a thing.

'The system that Elon got is weaker than that of the Yitha back then. Do they come in different types and variants? A hierarchy could exist, or it depends on how they were brought to life.'

With the knowledge of the system perception, MF was reminded of the time where a single strain of those digital essence could sprung to life when exposed by something powerful.

Thinking about it gave her more things to worry about. The extent of these 'system' influences were unknown to her, and all of these unsolved mysteries made her more paranoid than ever.

After the system got unconnected by her, MF sent Elon back to her original position. Right after the intense interrogation—in Elon's mind, she was met with an intense pressure of a sheer presence from the hellspawn, forcing her to go back into reality as her whole front surface immediately got slammed to the ground.

Hearing the slightest hint of ground slamming alarmed the other candidates.

'""This person had been resisting this whole time!?""'

They all thought that Elon hadn't fallen from her stance until this point—even though that didn't actually happen. Suddenly, all of them feared the chimaera even more, while holding their respect for her to have a strong fortitude and mental prowess.

Feeling ignited, Jaro began to rebel even more.

"HAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

As if it was for training her muscles, the muscle-freak demon then began doing a push up in this state of turmoil.

'"""WHAT THE HELL!? THIS PERSON IS DOING PUSH UPS IN THIS STATE!!""''

Meanwhile, in the Ouroboros' Divine Domain, MF got back to her chair again, humming a tune from the song 'The Neamh The Gods Loved'.

Her face was joyous, even after she struck a conversation.

"It seems like you didn't mind at all, Fortune."

Behind the chair, the tall women in business attire grasped at the edges of the top rail. With a rather satisfied expression, Fortune caressed the chair ears.

"Of course I won't, watching you getting rid of those digital demons was enough reason for me to come here."

MF did lie that Fortune wouldn't come here. Although, it seemed like the Luck Goddess herself didn't mind it very much as it was necessary to convince Elon to release her 'system'.

"Mmmmhh~ I already told you, didn't I? Just give me a few years and I'll be up there kicking those gods' asses—and it hasn't even reached a month and I'm already here having a Divine Domain." MF grinned rather nervously, but it was overshadowed by her confident speech. "So why did you put the 'system' into her in the first place?"

"Things are more complicated than your genius comprehension, my friend." Fortune tightly grabbed the chair ears, a creaking sound could be heard. "If not for me having a reason to protect your Divine Domain from any peepers, I wouldn't be able to even speak a word about it. Not many dared to mess with you even with your rank as a Pseudo-Deity, no one will be suspicious when I enhance your Divine Domain."

"I already knew that but why didn't you do the same with your Divine Domain?" MF looked up with a face of concern.

"Those Overgods and the Genesis didn't like it when a major figure like me tried to hide everything from them. They are like a possessive teenagers that didn't want their lovers keeping a bomb or two within their pocket."

'No wonder that her Divine Domain was empty, only being filled with murky water on the ground.' MF noticed that everything was as dangerous as it could get.. "You're allowed to say everything here, right? Tell me everything I need to know."
