Underneath the Pure White Holy Land, in the deeply buried grounds of the Holy Tomb, this area, which seals the "Legacy of Liberation," is shrouded by a peculiar darkness.

In this darkness, one can see their own body clearly without needing to light up a flame, but even if one releases a dazzling light, the surroundings will not become brighter.

Light Energy dispels darkness — this principle no longer applies here, as if the essence of the world is pure blackness.

If not for the solid touch underfoot, one might even doubt if they are floating within an endless void.

Yet at this moment, in the darkness that is supposed to isolate everything, leaving only self-existence, stands a sacred statue of a goddess, resembling the lone white star in the night sky, becoming the only guide in this Netherworld.

[The Body of the Goddess Statue]

D70+30=d70(7)+30=37

In the darkness, the hero's body, which had expanded multiple times, finally stopped enlarging.

The Snake Scale covering the skin peeled off like withered petals, transforming into tiny starlights that scattered into the void, revealing the delicate stone-like skin underneath, resembling white jade, emitting a serene and noble Radiance.

The form of the goddess statue is identical to the hero, although much taller, anyone familiar with the maiden would instantly recognize that the slender statue's prototype is the hero.

Despite the urgent situation, the hero's heart suddenly calmed down, as if detached from the mundane world, overlooking the realm from the clouds.

All changes seemed insignificant, incapable of stirring her heart in any way.

It is not that she is unable to perceive the essence of things, but on the basis of thoroughly understanding everything, she harbors no thoughts, merely viewing with neither sorrow nor joy.

Is this the perspective of a Star Spirit —

Such a thought crossed her mind, but the hero's steps did not halt due to the change in her mindset.

[Hero activates skill: All-Domain Super Sense]

2d111+d246+150=d111(50)+d111(46)+d246(221)+150=467

The Emerald Eye, akin to a gemstone, carried a soft glow that diffused in all directions, tracing the source of the Deep Sea's aura.

"Found it."

In the instant she captured the opponent, the star wings on the hero's back gently fluttered, already flashing before the target.

[Target is—]

1.5. Nun from Isolated Island

2.6. Mimicry Sea Demon

3.7. Other Candidates

4.8. A Corpse

9. Siren Princess

10. Great Success/Extreme Failure

D10=d10(7)=7

♛: Other Candidates

Just as the hero anticipated, before her eyes, the invisible force of the Holy Tomb bore down like a mountain, suppressing the source of Pollution—a Saintess Candidate dressed in the same pure white robe as hers.

[Due to the power of the Holy Tomb, the enemy will be imprisoned for 3-1 (already processed) = 2 turns]

Under the heavy pressure of the Holy Tomb Radiance, the entire body of this Saintess Candidate shook violently, yet she couldn't move at all.

Nevertheless, she did not give up struggling, her human flesh emitting a creepy alien sound as if bones and flesh were twisting and tearing in agony.

Her figure loomed in the darkness, those eyes devoid of whites, only deep black orbs turning, gazing up at the suddenly appearing Divine Statue, revealing an eerie aura.

The hero's gemstone-like Emerald Eye subtly rotated, unobstructed by the darkness, observing the changes in this "traitor."

'An unknown small fry.' The Depraved Hero's tone was indifferent.

If it were usual, another self might mock this candidate and propose all kinds of torturous suggestions. But now her emotions were equally undisturbed, simply offering her rational advice.

'Feels like my brain's turned to stone... Let's quickly finish this guy and revert back.'

The hero didn't say much; after confirming the woman in front couldn't break free from the suppression, she extended her hands straight and steadily towards the immobile Saintess Candidate.

Though her body took on a stone texture, it was lifelike. The statue that should've been motionless moved in a flexible and fluid manner, the contradiction between movement and rest reaching perfect tuning on that exquisite Stone Body.

Of course, the hero didn't intend to heed her other self's suggestion to directly kill this candidate.

Having the experience from the incident with the Pope, she garnered some insights into purging the Great Demon's mental Pollution, only hoping the other's soul hadn't completely fallen into Depravity...

[Nether Sea Dream Erosion Group: Saintess Candidate LV60 (higher than 467 success)]

D531=d531(500)=500

But just as the stone hand was about to touch the other, at a moment her Perception couldn't timely react, a mutational twist suddenly arose.

[What happened?]

1.5. The Nun from Isolated Island killed the Dream Erosion Group

2.6. The opponent committed suicide

3.7. Void Spirit Shock Explosion

4.8. Dream of Liberation

9. Illusionary Spirit Strange Dreams: Phase Reversal

10. Great Success/Extreme Failure

D10=d10(8)=8

♛: Dream of Liberation

The repressed Saintess Candidate shed two lines of bloody tears from her eyes.

Immediately after, a twisted, chilling Magic Power more overwhelming than that of the eroded emerged from behind without warning, sending chills down one's spine.

And the spell power of the Legacy of Liberation, which should have also been suppressed by the Holy Tomb, had unknowingly dissipated, replaced by that twisted Magic Power.

Then, at an astounding pace, that Magic Power rapidly approached, within inches away in a matter of seconds,

Realizing this, the originally calm heart of the hero finally rippled slightly.

[Hero's Thoughts]

D246+50=d246(27)+50=77

'Has the Legacy of Liberation been corrupted by the Great Demon? When did this happen, was it a diversion?'

Time's flow seemed elongated at this moment. The hero calmly and efficiently pondered, yet she couldn't deduce an answer within these few short seconds.
