In Morning,
While bathing, several thoughts crossed my mind, some possibilities about future events seemed to have multiple outcomes.
The thoughts were mostly about the things this wide world had for me, but some of my present decisions seem to have not yielded satisfactory results in the long run.
Maria getting attacked was one of them; the sole reason to let her roam freely on borders was to promote that Cultist Religion more, indirectly keeping Fela in check.
Fela's existence was a variable for me; there were several doubts about her presence in this world, but some events only solidified evidence of her existence.
For example, at the time of Edward's escape from the dungeon, the system detected seven beings, and only four were from Ardoros; the other three needed Level 5, which was the limit of the system's upgradation.
Then, the sudden awakening of past life memories of Edward, which could be because he was the son of heaven but still, the fact he had a past life only signaled towards a bigger force at play.
'System, is someone observing me right now?' I was aware of Mother keeping an eye on me every time, but she was not what concerned me right now.
[ Host, An Ethereal Entity is Keeping an Eye on you, it's been four days since the surveillance started ]
'Heh, so you really exist, Fela.' The timing of the assassination attempt on Maria and this can't be mere coincidence.
But, there were still several doubts like why Fela was keeping an eye on me, just because I killed her Apostle in a previous life.
Then, does it mean she knows about time being rewound? But then, why didn't she prevent the implantation of the Demon seed in Maria?
Chances of her awareness would probably be 43%, if all variables are taken into account.
'System, did you detect the constitution of the poison used in the assassination?' Not only Fela's existence, but the poison used on Maria directly triggered her demon seed, which should have remained dormant until I wanted it to.
[ Host, The poison is made using 4☆- Beast's Energy Core ]
'.....'
This is what confused me more. A beast at the level of 〖APEX〗was killed and synthesized into poison only to target a small girl living in the smallest corner of this vast world.
Since I was sure that the poison was specially prepared for Maria by someone who knew about her weakness, this seems more of a mystery.
'System, who attacked Maria?' I asked, even though I already knew the answer.
[ Host, I can see into events related to those whom you have ever met. Without knowing their energy signatures, it is difficult, but I can give it a try using all the similar energy data stored in me. Should I proceed? ]
'Yes, you can.'
[DING!
Detection Completed. Target seems to share similar energy signatures from two individuals: Adanyl Silvester and Ryuk Von Selvius. Target also has signatures of the Tenebrial Bloodline.]
'!?'
'Is that Amayara? No,' I rejected this thought since, by sending her orphanage 20 thousand gold coins, I had made her aware of my memories. Knowing her personality, she will prioritize her sister first, which will keep her from disturbing me.
'What is the relation of that person with me?' I didn't care about that individual's relationship with Adanyl or holding the Tenebrial Bloodline. Whether Adanyl was the daughter of Ronen Silvester or the heir of the Tenebri Family, her presence around me was very important.
I rejected thoughts of any Heroines being that individual since none of them can harm Maria till that point, knowing their limits, I was atleast sure about this.
[ Host, I can detect your faint Soul energy from that individual ]
'What is this Soul Energy?' I inquired, only to confirm the theory I just thought, which was soul energy being a type of energy leaking out of one's body like positive and negative influence around someone— though it was just a guess.
[ Host, Soul energy is the bonding energy with which a Soul is bonded with the body. The subtle amount of this energy leaks out and influences the aura of others with time ]
'.....' Only one thought crossed my mind after confirming my theory, which was unbelievable at first, but if there was even a single possibility then, it could lead to problems.
'What is the name of that individual?' This was the only question remaining in my mind knowing about what the system meant could be a big mistake if ignored.
According to the System, I had immunity over any outside interference, meaning my soul energy can never influence others, like it's isolated within me, and it all started the moment I was born in this world.
All this only pointed towards one thing: That individual knew me from previous world.
[ Host, Target Identity is Yui Silvester ]
'.....Is it her?' For a moment, past world's memories resurfaced like a surge, but then, it was my past and now this world is my present and that's what mattered.
'System, where is she right now?' I knew about Ronen Silvester's family's death in a carriage accident, but Yui, just like Adanyl, seems to have survived somehow.
It can't be a coincidence that the parents died and two infants survived a carriage accident.
'... Don't tell me, the accident was a facade to hide the real truth.' I wasn't sure, but things were just too much for them to be a mere coincidence.
[ Host, I can't detect her exact location due to her presence becoming faint. It seems the individual is doing some training to decrease energy signature ]
At the end of the day, he was going to get 4 coins per bottle from Bella herself, all those coins were earned by her after selling mines to Olivia.
Of course, Ryuk was not naive to play some underhanded tactics just because he wanted to tease an eleven-year-old girl.
His aim was to solve the upcoming major issue which could inevitably occur one day.
From the System, he came to know about Cat-kins getting helpless against Incubi due to their pheromone-copying skills.
From there, he contemplated how much it could be problematic if, while venturing outside this continent, they ever met an enemy with such an ability.
He didn't care about Bella's well-being or anything, but being ignorant after knowing such things could only cause him future trouble, since he needed her help in something else.
BANG!
Suddenly, the carriage doors burst open, only a silhouette jumping out of it before disappearing into the crowd seemed visible.
Of course, Ryuk noticed that it was Bella running from this place, which was expected. But Adanyl too noticed her running while holding her nose, prompting Adanyl to state, "Your Highness, why did Bella run like that from here?"
"Maybe she had an allergy to your perfume." With a smile, he teased, causing her eyes to widen, since the perfumes were sent by Countess Carlien, and her work was just to add the potion Ryuk had given her into them.
GASP
Suddenly, realization dawned on her. "Don't tell me, Your Highness, did you mix something in that potion—"
BEEEEEEPPPPP!!!

Ryuk's eyes kept looking towards the popping windows one after another, his mind was in a trance for a moment processing every detail.
Even in that overwhelming situation, his mind was trying to understand what just happened.
'System, what are their levels?' Ryuk could clearly understand that the System's warning could only be because the enemies' strength crossed the limit which could be reached using Overdrive.
[ Host, Two individuals are at 〖LEGENDARY〗, and the strongest one is at the Peak of 〖ZENITH〗]
'!?!'
'No, what is happening here?' His mind couldn't fathom how such variables were occurring one after another.
The arrival of such powerhouses was not something he could deal with at his present level. At that moment, his sole concern was, 'Mother!'
SWISH
Without any delay, he swiftly vanished and appeared outside the golden carriage. His eyes searched for his mother, but there was no one inside the Carriage.
At that moment, his mind fell into turmoil. It was calm enough to think, but for a mere moment, he lost his control and uttered,
"Mother!?"
