Nowadays, Xiaolu is always thinking about running away, and now he doesn't even dare to meet me.

But Chloe has his own plans.

The Arles Empire was established after the Dawn Era.

The Arles Empire, which is primarily composed of humans, half-elves, and a small number of elves, has a good reputation on the Stars Continent.

As a nation waving the banner of multi-racial integration, they are one of the most inclusive countries.

But that's not the reason Chloe is idly targeting them.

The Blood Moon Path that the Arles Empire takes is dangerous and difficult to control.

It is said that the Blood Moon Path originates from the Red Moon Goddess.

The power of the Red Moon is notoriously difficult to control.

Not even the fragment of the Red Moon that contains Divine Power can be absorbed.

It can only be used as weapon material to induce the power of the Red Moon within it.

This is also vividly reflected on the Blood Moon Path.

Sequence 9's pharmacists excel at creating potions with stable and orderly power.

Sequence 8's beast tamers inherit some druid traits.

But it's unclear if their abnormal number has increased due to influences from minor animal protection and extreme environmental protection concepts.

Sequence 7's vampires begin to exhibit non-human traits, making their power more difficult to control.

…

It can be said that as the sequence number progresses, the Blood Moon Path is constantly hovering at the edge of risk.

Of course, high risk also yields high destructiveness.

Especially in personal combat, the tactics of the Blood Moon Path are quite filthy.

And the reason he intends to mess with the Arles Empire here is because of Eira.

Previously in Meylan District, Eira handed over the Nodin emblem of the "Dancer" to him, and he didn't notice anything amiss at the time.

A few days ago, he even discussed this matter with the principal and vice principal.

Vice Principal Mephisto, noticing that he already guessed it, said this should be Nodin's way of wanting to send a signal to the academy.

According to the vice principal's statement, it wasn't rare for Nodin to pass the emblem to Eira.

This was meant to send a message to the school —

"Nodin has not been exposed, but other subordinates have had issues."

Meaning there's an infiltrator.

But whether it's only his subordinate that's been compromised or if both upstream and downstream have issues, depends on if the emblem can be smoothly delivered to the intended parties.

But Chloe always felt there was something incomprehensible about it.

For example, by handing over the emblem to Eira, weren't they worried that the Meylan District wouldn't hold out and she'd end up dead from an attack by the Void Erosion Sect?

Moreover, since Nodin has appeared in the Meylan District, presumably there are quite a few Evil God's Followers around.

Probably many are watching him.

In this situation, is it too much to hand the emblem to a little girl…

It's like not taking her life seriously.

Until he learned from Rephya that Eira joined the junior section and possessed a very rare talent for Raw Stone, he immediately became suspicious.

As is widely known.

"Raw Stone" might not be strong but it's definitely peculiar.

The talent that can enhance super magic effect for dead spirit system magic only exists with one SR talent in the game, "Undead Prologue."

Though this talent is good, it actually doesn't possess many special effects.

In other words, the Raw Stone talent that Eira exhibits isn't peculiar.

That suggests there's certainly more that's hidden.

Thus Chloe went specifically to the junior section to inquire about Eira.

He obtained astonishing information from Eira.

That Eira could see souls.

Yes.

Not dead spirits or undead, but souls.

The dead spirits and undead on the Stars Continent are entities that have been realized as "life," and most are visible to the naked eye.

But souls are different.

Without special magic, ordinary people can't see souls.

But Eira can.

Because of her young age and the lack of basic education proliferation in Meylan District.

Eira always thought she had been cursed by the Evil God.

Because she could always see things others couldn't.

Her family moved to the vicinity of the border wall because Eira was ostracized by other children, who said she was cursed.

So Eira's parents opted to change to a relatively quiet environment for her.

It wasn't until entering the Ethereal Emblem that Eira realized her ability to see souls wasn't a curse.

That this was just a result of the Extraordinary Traits starting to manifest from the Raw Stone.

Chloe recalls the conversation with Eira that day.

…

Chloe: "In your eyes, what do the souls look like?"

Eira: "They look no different from living people, just as they were in life. I can't even distinguish between living people and souls."

Chloe: "Aren't souls supposed to be semi-transparent?"

Eira: "At least not for me. Big brother, why are you asking this question?"

Chloe: "I wanted to ask, the brother who gave you the emblem before—was he alive or dead?"

Eira: "I don't know, he talked to me for a very short time, I couldn't tell."

Chloe: "Did he personally hand the emblem to you?"

Eira: "Ah, I remember now, he took me and had me retrieve the emblem from the bricks in the alley next door."

Chloe: "Did he tell you where the emblem was, and then you went to get it?"

Eira: "Yes."

...

At this point.

Chloe formed a bold hypothesis.

Everyone, including Principal Alfredo and Vice Principal Mephisto, believed Noding was still alive.

But from Eira's account, it was highly possible that [Dancer] Noding was already dead.

He just somehow discovered Eira's Raw Stone talent and cleverly utilized it.

Chloe sensed something was wrong and immediately returned to school to discuss the issue with Principal Alfredo.

That day, the principal sat silently in his office chair for a long time.

Finally, Alfredo looked at him and said:

"Good child, thank you for bringing us this news. So, there's something I want to entrust the Extreme Association to help us with."

"Hmm?"

"Help us evaluate the Arse Empire's participating teams."

"Is there a problem with them?"

"In the U25 competition during Morton and Noding's time, the person who crippled Noding's hands came from the Arse Empire. We felt something was off before, but we didn't have anyone suitable here to counter them."

"Have other countries not said anything about it?"

"The Blood Moon Path is inherently unstable, they said it's hard to control in battle."

"I understand, I will mention this to the members."

...

This is why Chloe sought out Rephya.

The new generation of powerhouses qualifying for the U25 tournament, those with Ethereal Emblems, were mostly in the Extreme Association.

With top-notch healers keeping them alive, the Extreme Association, challenging the limits of life and death, took only a year to dominate the highest echelon of Ethereal Emblems.

To target the Arse Empire's players in the U25 competition, one cannot bypass Chloe.

"Well, it's time for the Star Element Circuit to rise to prominence."

[For world peace, you and the Demon King collaborated, launching an all-out offensive against the Arse Empire's participants at the U25 solo match]

[In this batch of Arse Empire participants, there is one Sequence Seven pinnacle power, three other Sequence Seven powers, and eleven Sequence Eight pinnacles]

[For a single association to compete against an empire's young powerhouses is undoubtedly extremely difficult]

[Even the Demon King chooses to personally enter the battle, Senior Sister Fufu and Senior Sister Miseria also join the fight]

[Fortunately, the combination of the Simulated Earth Divine Rune and the Star Element Circuit gives you the upper hand over other talents]

[This exceptionally heated battle draws attention from various countries]

[No other reason: for an association founded within a school, the domination exhibited by the Extreme Association and the Fantasy Association is quite astonishing]

[In keeping with your promise, you continuously maim three Arse Empire prodigies, and when asked about it after the match, you said the Simulated Earth Divine Rune was still unstable, hard to control in battle]

[Reporters spread your statement, and soon, you notice the Arse Empire's participants' expressions towards you become fierce]

[Approaching the Top Twelve match, you once again face an Arse Empire participant]

[This time, the opponent immediately strikes with a fatal move, and you vaguely sense an evil force hidden within that scarlet aura, you choose:]

[Activate the Star Element Circuit, unlock my limiter]

[You cut down the opponent, the holy power intertwined with the Simulated Earth Divine Rune makes you resemble the arrival of a Saintess]

[The Arse Empire participant's blood aura, like a mouse meeting a cat, is swiftly purified]

[The Star Element Circuit gains instant fame]

[On that day, the media frenzy ensues, and the U25 solo competition receives unprecedented attention]

[Meanwhile, the Arse Empire releases a statement saying one of their participants was tempted by Evil God's Followers, suspected of becoming a demon henchman, causing immense grief across the empire]

[The Demon King smiles without a word, merely telling you, next time, continue to strike hard]

[The fame of the Extreme Association begins to expand exponentially, and the visibility of the solo competition also rises dramatically]

[For a while, the names of the Simulated Earth Divine Rune and the Star Element Circuit spread far and wide]

[You stop at the U25 semifinals, but Senior Sister Fufu progresses to the finals with the Shadow System Star Element Circuit]

[The final on that day became so popular that it almost reached the pinnacle popularity of the U50 and U100 solo matches]

[You watch as Senior Sister Fufu's shadow avatar battles with the Princess Swordswoman and successfully claims the cup, a trace of envy flashes in your eyes]

[Next time, you don't want to be merely an observer]

[However, as unpredictable events unfold, on the day the competition ends, you recall the Elf Village, suddenly wanting to ask the old village chief some questions]

[Yet, on the road to the cliff, you see a man standing halfway up the mountain, looking at you with calm and indifferent eyes]

[You freeze in place, seeing his body enveloped in a radiant golden glow]

[It is the power you once knew so well, the Talent Divine Power known as Holy Bone, the power that was taken from you]

[Terrified, you want to retreat, but in the next moment, the man approaches you]

["Eternal rest, hero."]

[Before dying, you hear the roar of Filthy Thunder, the Demon King holding you in his arms, saying something in anguish]

[But you no longer understand him]

[You have died]

[Simulation ends]
