In the sky above Heglais Town, mages showcased their various skills, creating a spectacular sight.
Far in the distance, Luo Wei watched the battle unfold and couldn't help but think that regardless of how well they fought, the mages' battle was far more visually appealing than the earlier brawl between those two giant monstrosities.
The array of magic in the sky was like fireworks during the Lunar New Year, with the visual effects already top-notch. Of course, the mages' moves weren't just for show; among them, the magic of the two elders and Tilis was particularly intense.
Luo Wei observed that Tilis was sparing no expense, utilizing all her magical artifacts. With the support of several magical orbs and the enhancement of various magical items, a terrifying surge of soul energy continuously bombarded Antius, causing the massive body to tremble incessantly.
Those precious magical items, of course, were all gifts from Luo Wei. In the past, Tilis was like this—clad in top-tier gear, stacked with countless buffs, charging solo toward the boss, annihilating any opponent in her path, almost unstoppable...
And every time, Luo Wei would just sit back and watch the show.
Of course, he wasn't entirely idle; his job was to manage the pollution level, preventing the witch from being consumed by darkness. (His role was still quite significant!)
However...
Although Luo Wei was incredibly proud of his meticulously cultivated masterpiece, not everyone around him shared his sentiments...
Ophelia looked up at Tilis's arsenal of spells and clicked her tongue.
"You've given her so many good things, you're quite generous~"
Luo Wei chuckled awkwardly, "Well, look, they're all being put to good use, so it's worth it."
"So, giving them to me wouldn't be worth it, huh?" she retorted.
Luo Wei laughed nervously, not daring to disagree, and silently continued to watch the battle.
Ophelia sighed wistfully, feeling a bit dispirited.
"Indeed, giving them to me wouldn't be of much use. If it weren't for her in this battle, we might have died..."
She understood the situation clearly, though she felt a tinge of resentment.
Ophelia lifted her gaze once more, staring at the radiant figure soaring in the sky. In terms of power, she knew she could never reach such a level in her lifetime...
Sometimes, she truly envied her, with such talent, such strength...
She could freely soar through the heavens, doing whatever she pleased, while Ophelia herself had to scheme for the sake of her current position, and fight tirelessly to maintain it for her ruthless father...
Thinking of her heartless father, her mood became inexplicably agitated, and she couldn't help but wonder if she could still report back to him after all this.
"After the Ancestor is sealed, he'll probably fall back into a deep slumber again..." Ophelia said uncertainly.
"Are you worried about your father?" Luo Wei immediately picked up on her concerns.
Ophelia nodded slightly.
"Don't worry," Luo Wei comforted with a smile, "Just tell him everything. He needs to know that you've done exceptionally well. Your father's primary goal is to calm the chaos caused by the Ancestor's awakening, followed by suppressing the leakage of this information."
Her light-colored eyes shifted towards him.
Luo Wei continued, "Although the process... had a few hiccups, if Tilis succeeds, the outcome will be positive. Believe me, this kind of mission is beyond the capabilities of your two brothers and your sister. You've done an impeccable job~"
"True..." Ophelia did believe in Tilis's ability, but her heart grew even more troubled.
"I really don't want to owe that witch anything! I'd rather owe anyone else than her!"
Luo Wei watched her pout in frustration and shook his head with a smile.
He thought this situation wasn't so bad either...
Among the various conflicts, Ophelia and Tilis were undoubtedly the most prominent. He truly hoped to ease the tension between the two.
Prolonged animosity, with constant fighting and hostility whenever they met, was something he was tired of dealing with...
If Ophelia owed Tilis a favor, perhaps their relationship wouldn't be so adversarial in the future. As for Tilis, she always remained aloof, and it seemed she cared little about these matters...
This way, Luo Wei's plan for a harmonious harem would be a smashing success!
"Luo Wei, what are you grinning about?"
"Uh... nothing." Luo Wei cleared his throat seriously and continued to watch the battle.
After nearly twenty minutes of continuous magical bombardment, even the thick-skinned Antius couldn't endure any longer.
Its massive black body was now covered in grotesque scars, and its flying advantage had been nullified, as the mages were capable of flight as well.
This was no longer the confined underground research facility where the president once battled, but a vast open sky.
Despite Antius's counterattacks that caused more and more mages to fall, the main force had always been Tilis. Unless she was defeated, Antius would eventually be worn down.
Thus, just like the president in the past, its survival instinct kicked in, and it no longer barged headfirst but spread its wings and soared toward the open skies over the vast ocean.
Tilis immediately ceased her spellcasting, and the glow around her magical orbs faded.
This was exactly what she wanted. She aimed to drive Antius toward that island to place a seal upon it.
Under her command, the remaining members of the Magic Cult followed closely, pressuring Antius to fly toward the island.
At this moment, the silent Margery approached.
"Tilis, I really don't understand you..."
"Why?" Tilis glanced at her.
Margery immediately expressed her thoughts, "Why are we helping Vigna seal this monster? If we let it loose to wreak havoc in the empire and create chaos, wouldn't that be more beneficial for our cause?"
"You really are fixated on the revival of the Magic Empire." Tilis gave her a smirk, "With that in mind, why have you always followed me? You should have joined the president's faction instead."
"Impossible!" Margery retorted immediately, "That guy's talent is nothing special compared to yours. Tilis, I sincerely believe that you are the hope of our great cause! Please don't let me down!"
As she spoke, her tone became more intense, and Tilis could see that she was about to repeat the same old grievances for the umpteenth time.
"Enough, I've heard enough!"
Margery's expression faltered. Gazing at Tilis's impatient look, her mood gradually darkened.
"Tilis, could it be that..."
"Margery." Tilis stared at her intently, her voice serious.
"I have always been grateful for your support, but—"
"In this matter, on the future path of the Magic Cult, I have a new vision."
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system?

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
