Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 10 No one can stop me from hugging someone’s thigh!

Hermione wanted to curse, but she only cursed in her heart.

Ouroboros, who had been blindfolded with a pure black cloth that Hermione had found, now showed a look of shock and anger.

This little guy, who is often out of touch, is clearly about to scold this rude woman!

Hermione was quick to act and grabbed Ouroboros's head.

But even with his head pressed into his own arms, he could still vaguely hear Ouroboros muttering words like "honor" and "sully".

Hermione smiled wryly at Lady Misfortune and said, "It's a beautiful day, Lady Misfortune. Are you home early?"

Ms. Misfortune said thoughtfully, "I suddenly had the urge to come back early... It seems it's related to this human cub. Is he here to save you? He's actually able to walk this far..."

Ouroboros, who was still being held down, said sullenly, "Luck is on my side."

"Oh? I smell an elf." Lady Doom glanced at him, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "An elf hybrid infiltrating a human tribe."

"Half-Elf?"

Ouroboros has elven blood?
Hermione was so surprised that she couldn't help muttering. Because of her surprise, she loosened her grip a little, causing Ouroboros, who was suppressed by her, to suddenly raise his head!

The black cloth loosened and fell under the force of the struggle, revealing Ouroboros's handsome eyes.

Those eyes looked directly at the "Goddess of Misfortune" sitting on the rattan chair!
"No!"

Ouroboros, who was extremely inspired, looked directly at a powerful subordinate god at this moment!

This caused Hermione to cry out in horror!

But all was quiet inside Ms. Misfortune's abode.

There was no scene as Hermione had expected, Ouroboros losing control and becoming distorted.

It was only Hermione's scream that made Ouroboros turn his head and look at her in confusion.

Hermione's screams stopped abruptly. She was stunned for a moment, staring at Ouroboros.

Only Lady Misfortune calmly sat down in the comfortable wicker chair that He had crafted and loved.

Looking Ouroboros left and right, and seeing nothing wrong, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and asked in surprise, "Is everything alright?"

"I hid something he shouldn't see." Leaning on the wicker chair, Ms. Misfortune's light words answered Hermione's doubts.

So that’s how it is…

It was Lady Misfortune who helped Ouroboros...

Sure enough, Ms. Bad Luck is as reliable as ever...

Hermione, completely relieved, finally had the mind to investigate Ouroboros's recent misconduct: "Ouroboros, your actions just now were very dangerous, did you know that? Have you forgotten the dangers of your high level of spiritual power?"

"But I'm not an elf half-blood, I'm human." Ouroboros insisted stubbornly.

Seeing Ouroboros's abnormal attitude, Hermione naturally had an accurate answer in her mind as to whether this child had elven blood.

Although she was puzzled by Ouroboros's willingness to conceal his noble elven bloodline and identify as human, Hermione respected his choice after years of studying extraordinary materials together and going through life and death together.

"Calm down, Ouroboros. Although you're young, don't forget that you're already one of the tribe's elected leaders. Our elders have repeatedly warned us that as leaders, we must remain calm in any situation." The humans who dare to test drugs on themselves are ultimately a minority, and those who are lucky enough to survive the testing process and become Beyonders are even rarer. Therefore, both Hermione and Ouroboros are leaders and protectors of their tribe.

Hermione's words calmed down Ouroboros, who was in a state of anxiety.

Leaning against a wicker chair, Lady Misfortune glanced at Hermione and said thoughtfully, "Don't you really care about bloodline?"

Hermione patted Ouroboros's head, and he ducked awkwardly. She then spoke frankly to Lady Misfortune:
"It's not that I don't care at all, but Ouroboros thinks he's human, and the people in the tribe also accept him... so isn't everything good? Why bother with it?"

Hearing Hermione say this, Ouroboros lowered his head in silence, but he no longer avoided Hermione's warm hand that patted his head.

"But... I'm actually a little curious. Is there really someone who abandons their elf identity and comes to live a hard life with us humans?" Hermione revealed her true nature, ruffling Ouroboros's silver hair and adding.

Lady Misfortune glanced at Hermione sideways at this, then shook her head slightly, seemingly helpless.

Ouroboros, who was somewhat moved, smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Hermione, your words are unnecessary..."

When Ouroboros said this, he found that his emotions were now very stable.

It was rare that there were no major fluctuations due to topics such as ethnic bloodline.

Ouroboros paused and took the initiative to say:

"My mother, a human, gave me all her love, but Ben, my father's spirit, left me with only bad memories. So I only admit that I am human."

"Aren't your abilities hereditary?" Ms. Misfortune suddenly asked.

"What inheritance?" Ouroboros frowned and asked. Coming from a human tribe, he had no idea that Beyonder traits could be separated through reproduction.

Because humans are too weak, so weak that in all their reproduction so far, no baby has ever been born with extraordinary abilities.

Hermione said, "When Ouroboros first came to the tribe, he didn't have any extraordinary abilities. He grew to where he is today after taking risks and experimenting with medicine with us."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Misfortune gave a rare compliment: "A hymn to courage..."

This wording and grammar seemed strange to Hermione, but she didn't think much of it. She just asked Lady Doom, "Lady Doom, Ouroboros strayed here while looking for me... Can you help Ouroboros leave?"

Lady Misfortune shook her head regretfully. "If I could have done that, I would have sent you out long ago. Without the King's permission, I cannot leave the territory."

"Is it bound by an oath or something?" asked Hermione.

Lady Doom gently explained, "It's not a vow, but rather a promise of protection... The King may be mad, but he won't easily attack subordinate gods like us. But without the King's protection, subordinate gods like us would simply be prey to other gods."

Although Lady Misfortune's words were pathetic, Hermione did not detect any fear in her tone.

Instead, there is a firm and calm power.

It is a mentality that refuses to be a prey even if one is in a disadvantageous position.

So...how did such a beautiful, strong and cruel lady like "Misfortune" fall at the hands of Yuanta or the Goddess of Night?
For the first time, Hermione began to doubt her previous assumptions about the future...

Who knows, maybe Ms. Doom has changed her identity and continues to be active in the future?

Considering the Dark Path's Sequence 2, those still alive in the Fifth Age... These are the unseen Pope of the Church of Evernight, Arianna, the leader of the Ascetics, and the Mother of Heaven, who was made into a vessel for advent...

Putting aside that stupid third woman, who knows, one of the first two might actually be a pseudonym for Ms. Doom...
