Adele, initially intending to return to the academy for the last class of the day, was surprised by the swift conclusion of Director Yashi’s meeting. The highest authority managing the Eastern Capital Enforcement Bureau, Elf True Ancestor Lislotte, agreed to the Evil God Ain’s conditions.

Next, the contained Evil God Ain would attempt to awaken Mage Victoria, who was lost in her own mind. In this situation, the Enforcement Bureau wouldn’t overlook any possibility of reviving Mage Victoria. Her existence held significant importance not only for the Magical World but also for the Human Race.

How could Adele leave at such a crucial time? She hurried to Teacher Victoria’s private recovery room, unexpectedly encountering Headmistress Winona, who had hastily arrived using spatial magic.

“...Hello, Headmistress.” Before she could even ponder the potential consequences of using magic within the city, especially the highest-level teleportation magic, Adele politely greeted her.

Winona stared at Adele with a slightly surprised “What are you doing here?” expression for a moment, then nodded in acknowledgment. She knew using magic in the Eastern Capital would lead to punishment. However, it was rush hour, and the city was congested. If Winona had chosen to drive, the outcome of Mage Victoria’s awakening might have already been determined before she arrived. So, let the punishment come. She didn’t want to miss the moment Teacher Victoria woke up.

As for Adele, was she skipping school again? Well, the academy’s curriculum was already dispensable for her current state. Few could teach her, and all of them were within the Enforcement Bureau. So, she was being quite proactive.

Soon, specialized personnel, led by the alert Director Yashi, transported the Evil God Ain’s body from the depths of the containment center, using an elevator to bring the containment cell on a trolley to Mage Victoria’s room.

The Evil God Ain had reverted to her “cold-faced girl” state, exuding a menacing aura befitting an otherworldly villain. Until she saw Adele. Her tense expression instantly melted, literally... Droplets of soul-like fluid fell from her.

Winona glanced at Adele with surprise. “What’s going on?” she asked Yashi, who passed by. The latter shook her head, indicating she didn’t know.

The Evil God Ain was successfully brought into the room, gradually regaining her composure. The room was then sealed off. Besides a few authorized individuals, even Adele could only wait anxiously outside. It made her feel like a family member waiting outside an operating room.

She didn’t know the specifics of the procedure. Midway through, Headmistress Winona exited the room with a terrible expression, looking nauseous. The reason was she had witnessed the Evil God Ain’s method. She had transformed herself into a flowing gelatinous substance, entering Victoria’s body through her orifices.

Winona couldn’t bear to watch the Evil God Ain desecrate the revered Mage Victoria in such a way. But her attempt to stop it was thwarted by Elf True Ancestor Lislotte, who told her to calm down. And the calmed-down Winona understood the priorities. Even so, she couldn’t accept it and left the room.

However, it wasn’t as if the Evil God Ain intended any “desecration.” As an otherworldly creature, she was beyond “reproductive incompatibility” with this world; there was no similarity whatsoever. Thus, no untoward actions were possible.

In fact, this was necessary to merge with Victoria’s spiritual world. Like when the Evil God Ain feigned weakness against Adele for her final attack, she had entered Adele’s body through her eyes. And that led to the shattering of the Evil God Ain’s Dao heart and the development of a severe “Adele phobia.”

But this actually served to change her state. The Evil God Ain’s body, when presented to everyone, appeared as a slime-like, physical entity with a soul. But once she entered the body of a “living being with a soul,” her soul would gradually become ethereal, losing its physical characteristics. In technical terms, this was “dimensional ascension.”

Yes, not dimensional descent, but ascension into the spiritual world. Only then could she find Victoria’s hidden soul and try to get her to regain control of her body.

Was there a possibility of the Evil God Ain seizing Mage Victoria’s body again? Yes, but it was pointless. Even with this last-ditch effort, the Evil God Ain couldn’t escape the Enforcement Bureau. It was better to cooperate and seek “leniency.” Moreover, the Evil God Ain no longer seemed inclined to possess other bodies and start over. Truly, thirty years east of the river, and still thirty years east of the river.

Thus, the Evil God Ain re-entered Victoria’s spiritual world, a place she knew as well as “home.” And she found Victoria’s lost soul.

Clearly, Victoria hadn’t recovered because she had lost all attachment to the outside world. After fulfilling her wish to “save Adele,” Victoria completely closed herself off, not caring whether the Evil God occupied her body or not.

Therefore, after a period of anxious waiting, Mage Victoria on the hospital bed suddenly began to tremble. Then, as if experiencing “rejection,” the Evil God Ain’s soul abandoned the body, “descending” back to her usual fluid state, exiting Victoria’s body once more.

Finally, in front of everyone, she slowly coalesced into a girl resembling Mage Victoria in her youth, sadly stating in the human language she had learned, “...I couldn’t persuade her.”

“But I did my best.”

“If you need my help again, you can...”

“But please, fulfill my conditions.”

“And... don’t let that girl come near me!”

When mentioning “that girl,” the Evil God Ain’s tone became agitated and panicked. And “that girl” was undoubtedly Adele.

Everyone exchanged glances. Finally, Elf True Ancestor Lislotte agreed to the Evil God Ain’s request. Thus, the first attempt to save Mage Victoria ended in failure.

But by “feeding” the Evil God Ain a few books on psychology, depression treatment, and negotiation, she might become a remarkable psychologist herself. Then, Mage Victoria could one day overcome her shadows and embrace life again.

Furthermore, could the Evil God Ain’s abilities be used to awaken other Enforcement Bureau operatives suffering from ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) mental trauma? Or in medicine, to awaken those in a vegetative state due to accidents... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Elf True Ancestor Lislotte pursed her thin, cherry-colored lips. She suddenly realized the Evil God Ain’s abilities had great potential.
