Village Head's Debauchery



Initially, Orion, Seth, and Zogar were confused by their words. They were so focused on their encounter and survival with the Vylkr spawns that they hadn't considered their discussion when they arrived. But now that they thought about it carefully, they realized that the Vylkr spawns were running away from an enemy.

What kind of opponent would make the Vylkr spawns take a rear guard action?

Orion, Seth, and Zogar were brought to the ground. But they fixed their eyes upward as a figure finally revealed itself, stepping out of the rift.

A woman was dressed in a form-fitting, matte black bodysuit covering her entire body except her head. A silvery exoskeleton was attached to her spine, arms, and legs. Thin blue lines of glowing, moving runes ran along the exoskeleton's contact surfaces. Behind her was a mechanical floating ring, rotating slowly and glowing with ever-changing symbols on its surface.

She had dark caramel skin and tightly braided raven-black hair that reached her mid-back. Her glowing blue eyes shone with an unnatural hue. She radiated an overbearing presence no less powerful than that of the Vylkr spawns, causing the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere to drop by several degrees again.

Orion, Seth, and Zogar were held on the ground, observing the scene above them with wide eyes, especially Orion, who couldn't take his gaze off the woman.

The unknown woman's inhuman tone resounded, "Vylkr energy signature detected. Analyzing... High-profile target detected. Initiating engagement protocol." Her cold gaze locked onto the two Vylkr spawns. "I've found you. You won't be able to run away this time," she added, her eyes briefly lingering on the Vylkr artefact and Orion, Seth and Zogar.

Instantly, a ripple resembling nanites spread out from the mechanical ring hovering behind her, creating a one-meter greatsword with a glowing bluish hue along its edges. She gripped the handle of the greatsword firmly with both hands.

"It appears only one member of the Divine Corps made it this far. You can go on without me. I'll catch up with you later," the dark brown phoenix Vylkr spawn said.

The slender dragon Vylkr spawn nodded in understanding. However, just as she turned to look downward, a bright golden light flashed before her eyes, and in an instant, the three mortals were gone, leaving her in shock.

"They're gone!" the slender dragon Vylkr spawn announced, swiftly turning her head from side to side to pinpoint the signature of a nearby divine being. Her efforts were futile, as she couldn't locate anyone.

The unknown woman's eyes flickered toward where Orion, Seth, and Zogar had been, a frown etching itself on her face.

"My instincts were right about a divine being lying in wait. Search for them. I'll do my best to give you something to find them," the dark brown phoenix Vylkr spawn said, his tone grave. Though he lacked a face, a frown would undoubtedly have formed on it if he had one.

"No one is leaving. Id Create-Mirror Realm," the unknown woman said. In an instant, she, the dark brown phoenix, and the slender dragon Vylkr spawn vanished into thin air. All that remained was the lingering magical aura, indicating their previous presence.

At the Edge of Paradise, within the Primordial Barrier,

Orion, Seth, and Zogar emerged from a rift in space, landing on the ground.

"Are you all okay?" Ilse asked, her eyes scanning them closely to ensure they were unharmed.

It would reflect poorly on her if anything had happened to them under her watch.

"Haa... We're fine. Thank you," Orion replied, nodding as he focused on calming his mind before getting to his feet.

"Thank you, goddess," Seth and Zogar said in unison. They lay on their backs, pressing against the ground as they exhaled deeply, doing their best to regain their composure before standing.

Ilse nodded, exhaling in relief. After scrutinizing them, she couldn't detect anything amiss. "I'll keep an eye on the situation in case they return, so you should get some rest. Don't worry about Aurora-she and the baby are fine. Aerialia is also looking after them and will inform us if anything goes wrong," Ilse reassured them. Though she could sense everything happening within the Golden Palace, she shared this information to ease Orion's concern.

"Take me with you. I want to observe everything," Orion said. He was intrigued by the identity of the unknown woman, whom the Vylkr spawns had referred to as a member of the Divine Corps. The title alone was imposing, and he felt she might hold crucial information about the current state of the world, especially since she was hunting two Vylkr spawns.

It was unlikely that the Vylkr spawns would speak. Keeping them alive might prove more troublesome than killing them, so they were not his priority.

"Are you sure?" Ilse asked, raising an eyebrow. She had sensed the terrifying auras of all three beings, none of whom could be considered weak even among the gods. After facing such formidable entities, she was surprised that Orion still wanted to confront them again.

"Yes," Orion nodded.

Ilse nodded in understanding. She had no issue bringing him along to observe the battle and see who would emerge victorious, especially since they wouldn't be leaving the Primordial

Barrier.

"In that case, we'll follow you to observe as well, Chief," Zogar said.

Seth nodded.

"Fine. You can all watch," Ilse sighed, "but first, wipe that blood off your faces." She waved her hand, and three handkerchiefs materialized in their grasps.

Orion frowned and touched his nose. Noticing blood on his fingertips, he quickly used the handkerchief to clean it off. Seth and Zogar did the same.

Clearly, the Vylkr spawns' probing of their minds had injured them.

Seeing they were done, Ilse waved her hand dismissively. "You can keep those. Follow me." She turned and walked away from the golden castle.

Orion, Seth, and Zogar followed her. They halted a few meters away from the Golden Palace.

"Though they will sense that we are watching them, the Primordial Barrier will make it difficult for them to pinpoint our location," Ilse said, waving her hand. Instantly, a transparent wide screen appeared before them, showing an image identical to the territory below.

They could see the entire Vylkr alloy mine, the Sleeping Fox, Wanderlust Traveling Tortoise, and Trekking Flamingo Runaway City in the distance, all moving away from the direction of

the Vylkr alloy mine.

They had been ordered to get as far as possible from the mine. Though Orion doubted they could escape the reach of the Vylkr spawns if pursued, it was better than having them linger

nearby.

Ilse divided the live screen into four parts, each displaying the whereabouts of the three Runaway Cities, the location where the Vylkr spawns, and the unknown woman's

disappearance.

"What's that?" Orion said, noticing strange movements in the distance, away from the direction of the moving Wanderlust Traveling Tortoise Runaway City. He pointed at it.

Ilse shifted her attention to where he had pointed and zoomed in.

A broken piece of an unknown Runaway City was swiftly heading toward their territory, using the same path as the Wanderlust Traveling Tortoise Runaway City

A Stowaway!

Stowaways were made up of gods' chosens and individuals who had defaulted, abandoned

their Runaway Cities, or fled after theirs was destroyed to avoid being killed. They took refuge in these wrecked or abandoned Runaway Cities. However, because of this, they could only survive by pillaging other Runaway Cities, intercepting their trade routes and engaging in other criminal activities.

No Runaway City wanted to associate with them. Unlike Runaway Cities, the strength of a Stowaway group varied, as no one could be certain who had taken refuge within it. Orion, Seth, and Zogar knew this from the spies' memories. They knew that the Stowaways in this territory were weak and had only survived due to the harsh terrain that deterred most Runaway Cities from passing through. All three Runaway Cities had previously navigated the area unharmed, but now, watching their advance, they couldn't help but frown. "They will reach each other in about a day and a half. Do you want me to send an avatar to warn them?" Ilse asked.

The presence of the Vylkr spawns and the unknown woman had left her on edge, making her trust Orion and Paradise more. She was willing to help the Runaway Cities, considering they were Paradise's investments.

"Please do," Orion replied with a nod. It would be best to inform the Wanderlust Traveling Tortoise Runaway City of the ambush in advance.

Ilse focused on Wanderlust Traveling Tortoise Runaway City and gently tapped the live screen. The Runaway City's position rippled like a wave and stabilized as she withdrew her

hand.

"It is done. They will receive your message soon," Ilse said.

"Thank you," Orion replied. He had faith in Commander Sy'ra's ability to handle the

situation. He didn't ask Ilse to lend a hand, as it would be risky if any surviving opponents specifically targeted them because of her involvement.

Ilse nodded silently and refocused on monitoring the Vylkr alloy mine on the live screen.
