Village Head's Debauchery

Outside the pocket dimension, a catastrophic phenomenon enveloped the entire earth, affecting mortals and those of divine nature as the confrontation between the Divine Mysteries and the birth of new Mysteries began.

The Will of the Divine Mysteries looked at the twelve-step stairs in surprise, shock, and disbelief.

"How did they accomplish such a thing?… Interesting," the Will of the Divine Mysteries muttered. It then focused on General Reynold, Oberon, Orion, and Ilse alongside the newly created 'Mysteries.'

Rather than taking action after receiving a challenge, the Will of the Divine Mysteries spoke: "Is this the path you have chosen to take?" Its voice boomed, resounding across the pocket dimension.

General Reynold and Oberon remained silent. However, their silence spoke louder than words.

"If that's your answer, then I will allow it," the Will of the Divine Mysteries responded.

General Reynold and Oberon furrowed their brows in confusion, deep frowns appearing.

Meanwhile, Ilse, now seated on the ground behind them, physically exhausted from maintaining her barrier, couldn't believe what was transpiring before her. From the emergence of the two man-made gods to the creation of new Mysteries and challenging the Divine Mysteries, the Divine Mysteries had decided to allow the birth of a new one. Ilse couldn't believe what she had just heard and thought she was hallucinating as a side effect of her worldview being upturned over and over since she had reawakened.

"Ahh!" Ilse clutched her head, feeling a throbbing sensation in her mind. She could not process or comprehend what was happening.

Meanwhile, Orion watched wide-eyed after hearing Will of the Divine Mysteries' words, his heartbeat racing as he imagined that Paradise might make it through this and emerge stronger than ever. He didn't know how things would turn out and could only place his hope in General Reynold and Oberon to handle the unfolding situation.

"Aren't you going to stop us?" General Reynold asked, his voice filled with suspicion as it reverberated across the pocket dimension.

"What if I don't want to?" the Will of the Divine Mysteries responded. Before they could reply, it continued: "Not long ago, I was dealing with two borderline depressed and psychopathic goddesses who tried to disturb the order of everything, causing the emergence of an Anomaly—and various other things. And now, two man-made gods and a territory filled with anomalies are attempting to create a new Mysteries. Divine Mysteries this, Divine Mysteries that… What if the truth is that I don't want to stop you?"

The Will of the Divine Mysteries paused, then added, "Besides, I've already invested in Paradise, so there's no reason to stop you. Have you ever seen an investor willing to destroy their investment?"

At that moment, General Reynold, Oberon, Orion, and Ilse couldn't help but stare wide-eyed in surprise at the Will of the Divine Mysteries after hearing what it had just said.

The Will of the Divine Mysteries was… complaining!

Had they heard this from someone else, they would have believed the other party was lying and chosen not to take their words seriously. However, seeing the Will of the Divine Mysteries uttering such words with their ears, they were uncertain whether to believe it or not.

General Reynold and Oberon exchanged glances and nodded. Despite still being filled with suspicion, they decided to proceed with their plan since they had received approval from the Will of the Divine Mysteries.

Suddenly, the twelve-step staircase vanished and reappeared in the sky above Paradise. As the stairs enlarged, the intensity of the blazing white and inky flames enveloping it radiated such intense heat that the sky churned violently. The barrier protecting the mirror realm was pierced, and the staircase continued expanding until it broke out of the mirror realm and emerged into the outside world. Outside, the heavens churned even more violently as though sensing a threat to their existence. The clouds gathered together, forming a spiral in the sky, and strange catastrophic phenomena emerged, covering the entire Drelyal Mountain ranges.

The clouds were filled with lightning coiling around them, each bolt as thick as a mountain, striking down the stairs, but the twelve-step staircase remained unmoved. Then, it transformed into an enormous whirlwind that overturned many mountains within the Drayal Mountain ranges, upturning vast swathes of land as though attempting to dislodge the staircase, yet the stairs remained steadfast.

Next, countless hailstones fell from the sky, each as large as a human head, descending heavily. Afterwards, a wide swath of fire bathed the entire territory, charring it. It seemed as though the Divine Mysteries was doing everything in its power to prevent the emergence of the new Mysteries before it, but all of its efforts were futile.

General Reynold and Oberon sensed this within the pocket dimension and couldn't help but frown, feeling like the Divine Mysteries were toying with them. They knew the Divine Mysteries could unleash a terrible phenomenon capable of pushing the new Mysteries to the brink of collapse, so they had prepared themselves for a fierce battle, gathering all the power they could. However, they could not understand the intentions of the Divine Mysteries, leaving them utterly confused.

Outside the pocket dimension, the bizarre phenomena slowly dissipated, and another emerged. The sky turned to night, and countless bright stars emerged, dotting the heavens and illuminating the earth. Even the pocket dimension wasn't spared from this sight, as the darkness brought by the Will of the Divine Mysteries was expelled, revealing countless arrays of beautiful stars.

One of the stars fell from the sky, streaking through the night like a shooting star, travelling across the entire earth. Distance and location didn't matter. Whether within a pocket dimension, a hidden realm, or even the Spirit realm, all could witness this breathtaking and mesmerizing sight.

And all of this had transpired because… a new Mysteries had been birthed!

The twelve-step staircase shrank, returning to its previous length, and re-emerged at the centre of the Village Chief's compound. Suddenly, the twelve-step staircase was illuminated again. This time, a massive ethereal tree grew from within this time and stretched outwards, passing through the Primordial barrier until it touched the sky. Its roots stretched across all of Paradise, and surprisingly, they continued to expand. However, instead of breaking free from the Primordial Barrier, the tree's roots extended alongside it as though using the barrier as a shield to protect them. Soon, the roots had spread across every corner of the pocket dimension, bound together with the Primordial barrier.

It stopped once it reached the edge, seemingly unable to break out of the pocket dimension. The tree and the Primordial barrier began solidifying, becoming even more visible to the naked eye yet still exuding an intense, ethereal presence.

Countless fruits hung on the tree's towering branches, some piercing into the mirror realm and others stretching outward. Each fruit glimmered like precious crystallized jewels, radiating a pulsing, rainbow-coloured hue. One of the fruits suddenly began to enlarge until it was half the size of a human and fell from the branch. It landed within the Village Chief's compound, beside the trunk of the ethereal tree, with a resonating "BANG!" that echoed across the entire pocket dimension. Then, the tree scattered into countless specks of light, which returned to the twelve-step staircase. The staircase transformed into the sundial and planted firmly on the ground.

The entire event had transpired within several minutes. But it wasn't over. The fruit that had landed on the ground began to peel, strip by strip, until it revealed a figure curled up within it.

It was a little girl with a golden upper body and a dark lower body, dressed in attire seemingly woven from many leaves and flowers possessing the same distinct colours as her skin. She resembled a typical tree nymph from Paradise. However, her mysterious yet powerful aura and the manner of her emergence indicated that she was nothing short of extraordinary.

The girl stirred awake, slowly pushing herself up with one hand while rubbing her eyes. Still seated on the ground, she looked around her surroundings with a gaze filled with curiosity, suspicion, and wariness.

Her gaze landed on General Reynold, Oberon, Orion, and Ilse. She paused, staring at them curiously, with similar emotions in her eyes—neither afraid nor approaching them.

"Who's that?" Orion asked, looking at the girl in confusion and interest.

"It seems that the essence of the tree nymph Naka was working on before he moved on to trying to cure goddess Ilse of the curse was still within the remains of the Omnithriallian. Due to our actions, she has been reborn as the localized Will of the stairs," Oberon responded, scrutinizing the young girl with a calm yet piercing gaze.

"That shouldn't be a problem, should it?" General Reynold said with a frown, studying her.

Orion also awaited his response.

"No. Since she's connected to the new Mysteries, she's also subject to its Will and intentions," Oberon shook his head. "We had already anticipated something unexpected might occur. We should be grateful that this is all that has transpired. Besides, with her presence, we can rest assured about the future of the new Mysteries."
