“Why do you look so thin?”

“The journey to get here wasn’t easy.”

“Ahh. I forgot that your strength was restricted.”

“Right, Sedi. You should’ve entered this world at the same time I did, but you’ve already grown much stronger than you were before.”

“Why are you saying it so weirdly? Didn’t the others come into this world with us too?”

“They did, but at different times. You completed all ten stages of the tutorial, didn’t you?”

“Of course I did.”

“The timing of your entry coincided with the number of stages you completed. You and I are among the last. The others entered this world many years before we did.”

“Ah. I see... Well then.”

After nodding with a slightly uncaring expression, Sedi then turned to look at the trembling Pannata who was kneeling beside her.

A mischievous smile stretched across her lips.

“Hey, you.”

“Ye-, yes...”

When he heard her call out to him, Pannata lifted his head and answered, only for his face to immediately twist to the right.

Sedi didn’t hit him too hard. All she did was lightly tap his face with her fist. The amount of strength she used in her blow could be seen from the fact that Pannata’s head was still attached to his shoulder, and his face was only slightly distorted.

“What was your name again?”

“Pa-, Pannata, Goddess.”

“I see.”

Sedi, who was still smiling, turned to Lukas before pointing at Pannata.

“Father, didn’t this fool make a big mistake?”

“Mistake?”

“Right. For example, he was very rude to Father. He said a lot of stupid things about you.”

Stupid, or dumb.

Crack.

As she said this, Sedi intentionally cracked her knuckles and Pannata’s face became as white as a sheet when he saw this.

He hurriedly turned to look at Lukas. All this while, he had been acting authoritatively and looking down on Lukas, but now he was looking at him with pitiful, begging eyes that were similar to a rabbit stuck in a trap.V/\IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).co/m for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce

Lukas didn’t feel sorry for him because of this act, but he still shook his head since there was no benefit to dealing with Pannata.

“No, it’s fine. Stop scaring him.”

“You heard that? Hey, you’re a pretty lucky guy, aren’t you?”

Sedi smiled brightly and patted Pannata on the shoulder.

She seemed to be in a very good mood. Maybe it was because she had finally been reunited with Lukas. Or maybe it was because she felt comfortable in the demonic energy saturated environment of Death Island.

After laughing for a while, Sedi finally looked at Lukas and said,

“Anyways, let’s go to a quiet place first. My house should be fine.”

“House?”

“Mhm.”

As he said that, Lukas wondered if he should stroke her hair, but he felt that he might be treating her too much like a child.

On the surface, she had the appearance of a 15-year-old girl, but on the inside, she was an Absolute who was on the same level as Lukas. Although she claimed to be his daughter now, that history didn’t disappear.

In addition, hair stroking and saying they did well were actions that he had been showing to his disciples recently.

Could he do the same for his daughter?

How should he differentiate between his daughter and his disciples?

Lukas tried to use his eons of experience to come up with an answer, but he found that there was no right way to respond to this former Absolute that had become his daughter.

In the first place, most Absolutes are prideful and stubborn, and even ‘Assistants’ who ranked at the very bottom didn’t bow their heads to other Absolutes.

Unless the other was a Ruler of course.

“You look well.”

“This place is saturated with demonic energy. Even an act as simple as breathing makes me stronger.”

As she said that, Sedi looked at Lukas before clapping her hands.

“As I said before, you really don’t look too good Father.”

“That’s because there are a lot of restrictions placed upon me. Even before coming to Death Island, I encountered all kinds of troublesome situations.”

“Death Island?”

“That’s the name of this island.”

Sedi stuck her tongue out as though she’d just heard something ridiculous.

“What did you just say? This is an island? How can a place this outrageously large be called something like that?”

“The entire planet seems to be incredibly large. This place is an island in the sea of a floating continent called the Heavenly Realm...”

Lukas began to give her a brief explanation of the world. He explained that there wasn’t just the Heavenly Realm, but also the Giant Field, Black Earth, Lightning Gorge, and even the supercontinent Gaia.

He then gave her a rough explanation of everything that had happened so far as well as an explanation of the current situation.

The goal is to find the most special statues and his desire for her to participate in the Championship.

“Championship?”

“Kran is also here.”

“Hmph. That person...”

“Other than you, there is no one in our group who can defeat him. Including me.”

“So you need my help.”

After absorbing the demonic energy on Death Island, Sedi had become much stronger than before. In her current state, it would be difficult for her to lose to Kran.

Then Sedi frowned.

“But I don’t like it.”

“What do you mean?”

“Dragon God Island or whatever you called it. What are they trying to do by restricting access to this amazing island? It’s not like we’re at war or anything... That’s why...”

Sedi gave her signature sadistic smile.

“Father, why don’t we-”

“Recklessly break into Dragon God Island and check if the statue there is the one we want?”

Sedi nodded.

“Wouldn’t that be better? That way you wouldn’t have to waste time on the Championship or whatever it is.”

It would certainly be more efficient, but Lukas still shook his head.

It wouldn’t be morally right for them to break into a place that was considered a sanctuary and had restricted access. Of course, Sedi wouldn’t understand it even if he put it like that, so he gave a different answer.

“We still don’t know how strong the Priestess is.”
