...

A massive eye hovered in the chaotic sky, with droplets of pitch-black mist seeping from its edges.

Angus felt a chill run down his neck and suddenly glanced to both sides.

At some point, the earth had become covered with indescribable, strange entities.

They resembled humans, yet were not human.

Their five limbs seemed dislocated and constantly twisting, and under the giant eye, the facial features of each being were mechanically performing bizarre rituals.

Angus stood up and looked behind him.

The dark disciples, spreading for thousands of miles, all exuded an aura of terror and ill omen.

Soon, those inhuman creatures struggled to stand upright, forcibly moving their decadent bodies, and began to dance in circles in opposite directions, as if welcoming the deity observing the world from above.

A giant crow flew in the sky, its beak slowly opening, with several spiraling tongues waving in the air, gathering the black smoke seeping from the sky into its mouth.

In an instant, its single eye flashed with various scenes of madness.

Angus's head was pressed down by an invisible giant hand, forcibly turning it back, his eyeballs seemingly pinched, staring blankly at the crow.

The moment he looked into the crow's eye, Angus's sanity began to collapse continuously.

Everything before him seemed to become more turbulent, and the obscure cries from the disciples' mouths gradually became clearer.

His eyes, as if corroded by smoke, became murky and unclear, his mouth slowly muttering:

"God."

......

Monotonous black ancient trees filled the entire room, with only a few animal furs adding some color to the space.

Kevla sat in a chair, leaning against the backrest, holding a teacup, facing a thin man.

The man before her was her brother.

Jaxu Delin.

The man had delicate features, with proper and three-dimensional facial features, always wearing a kind smile.

His body also lacked robust muscles, seeming excessively thin for a knight's family.

Kevla was somewhat agitated, occasionally putting her teacup on the table and picking it up again.

The meeting hall had been quiet for so long, and she didn't know what her father and Viktor had been discussing.

"Sister, calm down a bit," Jaxu said with a smile, as if seeing Kevla's restlessness.

Kevla looked at Jaxu, adjusted her emotions slightly, shrugged, and said to her brother:

"It seems you want to talk about something with me?"

"Speak up, what exactly do you and father want to do?"

To call Gwen back to discuss the engagement, and even to summon Viktor as well.

The only thing Kevla could think of was changing the person in the engagement.

But her father had excluded her, which made Kevla even more confused.

What exactly did they want to do?

Jaxu took Kevla's cup with the remaining tea, replaced it with a new one, and refilled it with hot tea, smiling.

In this extremely cold place, a cup of warm tea was simply perfect.

He pushed the hot tea in front of Kevla and spoke as if casually bringing up a topic.

"Sister, what's your standard for judging justice?"

Kevla frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"Why ask this?"

"You're older than me, so you should know better what kind of personality father had back then."

Hearing Jaxu's words, Kevla lowered her head, as if falling into a long reminiscence.

When she was very young, the Delin family was not yet in the northern frontier of the empire, so her impression of childhood was very vivid.

At that time, Sol VIII had just ascended to the throne, and it was a time when he needed to win people's hearts and consolidate his position.

Back then, Angus was also one of Emperor Aubrey's capable assistants.

But his sense of justice was even more obsessive than Gwen's current state.

It had even reached a pathological degree.

His eyes couldn't tolerate any evil.

As for that ethereal love?

Heh, her fiancé was Viktor.

If it were the Viktor of the past, this marriage could have continued without issue.

Because Gwen, who disliked Viktor, wouldn't have her sense of justice affected by him at all.

But now, Viktor was subtly influencing Gwen.

Anyone could see that Gwen's feelings towards Viktor had gradually changed.

"So, she must always maintain absolute justice in her heart."

"...Is that so."

Kevla was silent for a moment, then looked at Jaxu mockingly.

"You and father want Gwen to become that Goddess of Justice?"

"Not me, it's father."

Jaxu corrected Kevla's mistake, smiling coldly.

"From the beginning to the end, father has always been a follower of that goddess."

"Never changed."

......

"How ridiculous."

Kevla suddenly laughed, with a hint of sadness in her laughter.

"In my eyes, he has never changed either."

"Although I know he's not acting for personal gain, now, his behavior disgusts me even more."

Swoosh!

A silver dagger was instantly pressed against Jaxu's throat.

Jaxu sat in the chair without moving at all, as if the person whose life was threatened wasn't him.

Kevla's slightly trembling voice sounded:

"Gwen is his daughter, my sister, a living person!"

"Just because of that ethereal legend, she's deprived of the love and life a normal girl should have."

"Jaxu, are you not human either?"

Jaxu reached out with one hand, slowly pushing the dagger away from his throat.

"Sister, the proportion of familial love in you is really too high."

As if absolutely certain that Kevla would never act, he said calmly:

"There are some things worth father dedicating his whole life to, and as his offspring, I should also share his burdens."

Kevla's hands became somewhat weak. She tried to grip the dagger tightly, to press it against Jaxu's throat again, but she couldn't do it.

Just as Jaxu said, familial love really occupied too much in Kevla.

But...

"I'm sorry, but you've already failed."

Kevla put away the dagger, her expression neither sad nor happy, just slowly explaining.

"Gwen's Heart of Justice has already malfunctioned."

"...?"

Suddenly, a tremendous explosion erupted from the meeting room, the powerful shockwave causing even the windows of the building where Kevla was to vibrate frantically.

The enormous blast completely captured the attention of both of them.

Kevla was momentarily stunned.

What's going on?

Did Viktor actually come to blows with his father-in-law?
