In the Dark Battle Camp, Annie was lost in thought. This woman Angelina's spiritual power was so immense she had even shattered other people's dreams. There's a problem with Angelina's identity. Who exactly is she? Is she an offspring of God, or a God Reincarnation Body?

Annie had intended to enter Angelina's Dream Realm to read her memories and find Jiang Chen's weaknesses, but unexpectedly, she had uncovered Angelina's secret.

Now, Annie's clone inhabited Isabelle's body.

It seems I'll have to wait until tomorrow to make a move, she thought.

「The following morning.」

Jiang Chen woke up. He had waited all night, but the Dark Wizards hadn't shown up. Instead, he was greeted by Angelina's angry roar as she woke up.

Jiang Chen asked, "Didn't you hear any noise last night?"

"What noise?" Angelina was clueless.

"You slept like a dead pig. What did you dream about?"

Angelina rolled her eyes. "You're the one who sleeps like a dead pig. I don't dream when I sleep."

"You actually don't dream?" Jiang Chen looked surprised.

"Of course not. What's so good about dreaming? I eat well, I sleep well, why should I dream?"

Indeed, she is different, Jiang Chen thought. Look at her. No dreams at all.

Jiang Chen said, "If anyone asks, tell them you were also woken up last night."

Angelina was baffled.

"Did you hear me?" he growled softly.

"Oh," Angelina muttered quietly.

Jiang Chen looked at Angelina, frustrated. Couldn't this woman take anything seriously? Everyone else was woken up by the noise, but she alone wasn't. Wouldn't others find that strange?

"Let's go!"

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet!"

"Brush your teeth? To hell with that! I haven't brushed mine in two days."

"Pervert."

Jiang Chen stood atop the city wall, looking at the closed gates opposite him. It seemed there would be no war today; he had hoped to upgrade his Level, but that wouldn't be possible.

I wonder what other tricks the Son of God has up his sleeve, he thought.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to turn away, he sensed several hateful gazes filled with overt murderous intent. He turned his head, and a young man immediately looked away.

Who is this person? Jiang Chen wondered. Does he have a grudge against me? I haven't offended anyone.

Then, looking at the man beside the young man, the figure seemed familiar. Wasn't this one of the people from the Carmen Family he encountered while hunting The Fallen?

This young man is from the Carmen Family, Jiang Chen realized with a smile. Your timing couldn't be better!

Jiang Chen walked over and confronted the young man. "What are you looking at?"

Carmen Hu was dumbfounded; he hadn't expected Jiang Chen to confront him directly.

"What do you want?"

"I asked you, what are you looking at?"

"I wasn't looking at you just now."

"Nonsense, I saw you. I'm asking why you were looking at me."

Carmen Hu was furious. "So what if I was looking at you?"

"Looking at me comes with a price."

Jiang Chen grabbed Carmen Hu's sleeve and shoved him against the wall. In the process, he inadvertently pulled out a dozen strands of Carmen Hu's hair. Carmen Hu's head throbbed as it hit the wall.

Carmen Hu was enraged. It's not even okay to look at him? Who the hell does he think he is!

Carmen Hu shouted loudly, "Murder! Murder!"

Everyone around turned to look, and Commander Perus also turned his attention to the conflict.

Now is not the time for conflict, Perus thought, his brow furrowing. "What's going on here?"

Carmen Hu pointed at Jiang Chen. "You all saw it, right? He's trying to kill me! He just tried to kill me!"

Perus turned to Carmen Hu. "What exactly happened?"

"I was just standing here, and he came over, attacked me, and even tried to draw his sword to kill me! I don't understand what's going on."

Perus looked at Jiang Chen. "What exactly happened here?"

"He was staring at me."

Perus furrowed his brow. He wants to draw his sword just because the other guy looked at him?

"You attacked him just because he looked at you?"

"There was hatred in his eyes. I thought he was a spy from the Dark Battle Camp."

"Nonsense! How could I, an [Apostles], be a spy? Clearly, you wanted to kill me! I will definitely report this to the higher-ups."

Perus shouted, "Stop crowding around! Everyone, back to what you were doing!"

Perus pulled Jiang Chen aside and whispered, "Do you have a grudge against him?"

"No."

"Whether you have a grudge or not, he is an [Apostles]. If you lay a hand on him, we won't be able to protect you. These are critical times, especially now. We cannot afford to give anyone leverage against us."

"If someone gets leverage on you, your dream of becoming an [Apostles] would be impossible, understand?"

Jiang Chen nodded. "I know. I'll go apologize."

Jiang Chen walked over, an apologetic expression on his face. "Brother, sorry about that. I was too impulsive just now. You know these are tense times, and I was so nervous I mistook you for someone from the Dark Battle Camp."

Carmen Hu was furious. Nervous my ass! I suspect you're just looking for trouble!

Perus said, "Alright, this has all been a misunderstanding. Jiang Chen has admitted his mistake and apologized to you. Let's put this matter to rest."

"How can we? He just tried to kill me! This matter cannot be dropped like this."

Perus's face darkened. "Say that again?"

Carmen Hu, seeing Perus's fearsome gaze, dared not speak further. "Then... then let's drop it."

"Good. These are critical times. Sometimes, I also mistake people."

Carmen Hu broke out in a cold sweat and slunk away. Perus's words were crystal clear to him. If Perus 'mistook' someone, it would be terrifying. He might act directly.

Perus said, "It's alright now."

"Yes, I'll be more careful next time."

"There's a next time?"

"Heh heh... What I meant was, next time I'll find a place where there's no one around."

Perus watched Jiang Chen's retreating figure and cursed inwardly, This damnable guy...

Perus had seen it too. Jiang Chen had a vendetta against the Carmen Family. But even so, he couldn't act on it now. These were critical times; acting rashly could easily give others leverage. Moreover, Carmen Hu was a [Divine Envoy], not just any ordinary Hero.

Jiang Chen returned to his room, placed the pulled hair beside his pillow, then left, breathing a sigh of relief. I wonder if that Wizard will fall for it. Whatever! Even if there's a curse, it won't be on me.

Jiang Chen continued to wander around the city, his senses spread out, trying to see if anyone entered his room.

Isabelle approached Jiang Chen's door.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK...

After knocking a few times and receiving no response, she twisted the doorknob and opened the door.

Seeing the hair under the pillow, she smiled inwardly. I was with him last night; collecting the hair he left by the pillow is convenient.

Jiang Chen pondered. Isabelle? Why her? Could she have been enchanted? How did that Wizard manage it? How exactly does one charm others? Can it be done just by speaking a few words?

"What are you thinking about? You've been spacing out," Angelina remarked, noticing Jiang Chen's thoughtful and distracted demeanor.

"It's nothing."

"You're clearly preoccupied with something, looking so absent-minded."

"I'm just wondering when we can reach our Second-stage."

"That's still a ways off. We're only at Level 66 now. We need to be at least Level 99 to reach Second-stage."

"No worries. After a few more battles, I think we'll get there quickly."
