After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

The city gates of the Ice City opened with a roar, the streets were swept clean, and well-armed soldiers stood proudly on both sides of the road leading from the South Gate to the Duke's Mansion, and even pedestrians were not allowed to pass through.

News of the young lady's expedition to the Elf Kingdom, where she annihilated the Undead Legion and defeated the Demon Army, quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.

This expedition can be described as a decisive battle that will determine the fate of the nation.

The Northern Territory not only conquered the entire Eastern Territory and nearly a third of the Central District, but also successfully completed its revenge war against the Undead and Demon races.

In an instant, the people were overjoyed. Luna's personal guards sped along the main road of the Ice City for the first time, and the cheers rose one after another. It seemed that the blood and applause would never stop.

But Luna's expression was extremely somber, and she ignored all the praise.

The price of victory was heavy; Luna was even prepared to be scolded by her brother.

The glory was fleeting. The procession completed the entire journey in a short time. When they arrived at the gate of the Duke's mansion, Luna did not stop for a moment. She arranged for the carriage to enter, then waved to dismiss the procession and went in alone.

One step, two steps, each step seemed incredibly long. The tranquility of the mansion made Luna feel sluggish. She gripped the stair railing tightly and took several deep breaths.

Are you tired?

A familiar large hand grasped her wrist and slowly lifted Luna up. The hard body heat made her slightly dazed. Her brother, who had regained his human appearance, also had a gentle smile on his face.

"Brother, I..."

"You all did a great job; it was the enemy's cunning that led us astray."

Oswald released his grip and calmly gestured for her to follow. Luna quickly ran over and followed her brother, just like her little shadow back then.

The office door was pushed open, and Jenny, who was unconscious on the sofa, was leaning on Eleanor's shoulder. Evelyn quickly examined Jenny's body, and there was also a black-haired girl who was unfamiliar but inexplicably familiar, frowning as she examined the wound.

Alene felt a pang of heartache. She picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Jenny's face, wishing she could share her pain.

"There's no mistake, it's the power of war, and it involves higher-dimensional forces."

Chu Guang, abandoning his previous nonchalant attitude, gently placed his hand on Jenny's neck and infused her with his energy.

"There is still a power within her, which has just been awakened and contains extremely strong vitality. It should be shaped by her own will."

Chu Guang looked surprised; she had noticed something different.

Oswald, who kept urging the system to search for the medicine, accurately captured Chuguang's expression.

He stepped forward, staring into Chu Guang's eyes. "What did you discover?"

Feeling her energy being continuously transformed, Chu Guang's eyes lit up. If she weren't certain that Jenny was human, she would have suspected that she had encountered an ancient monster.

"It is a force that lies between the system of laws and the system of nature. In theory, some things that belong to the laws will gradually transform into the force of nature."

"Just like the wind, which you are most skilled at using, it was born before nature was formed, but after it appeared, it became an inseparable part of nature."

"But this thing is different. It is a broad and unstable natural concept that is generated under the operation of the laws. It's just that I still can't understand what it is."

Chu Guang gave some good news. As the old saying goes, you can't build something new without destroying it. If Jenny's original magic circuit hadn't been cut off, she wouldn't have been able to discover such an interesting power.

Could it be that the Goddess of Laws left something behind? How far into the future did she see before she disappeared?

Evelyn, who kept taking out herbs from her pouch and extracting their essence to infuse into Jenny's body, also observed this situation.

At this moment, her forehead was covered in beads of sweat, a kind of despair born from facing a bottomless pit. Jenny's injuries were too severe; so severe that she was utterly unable to offer any effective help.

After hearing Chuguang's analysis, she stood up again and asked eagerly, "What should we do?"

"I and Oswald will provide her with a continuous supply of natural energy, and then wait for her to absorb and heal herself. The real trouble is the war trauma that remains in her heart; to completely resolve it, we may need to make some rather risky attempts."

After setting the treatment plan, Chu Guang instantly transformed into a ball of energy and entered Oswald's body.

Luna's eyes widened, then her mouth opened, and her eyebrows twitched repeatedly. What had she just seen? Wasn't anyone going to do anything about it?!

Brother, you've combined, you know, merged, light, *snap*...

Noticing that no one else reacted in any particular way, Luna wisely kept quiet, but her brain was racing.

Something must have gone wrong during my brother's process of breaking free from immortality—a split soul? Could it be that when my brother is in a daze, he's talking to "himself"?

Holding Jenny's slender wrist, Oswald continuously channeled his natural energy for two hours before he managed to suppress the dizziness and had Eleanor and Evelyn take her away to rest.

Once Luna was the only one left in the office, Oswald rubbed his face vigorously and sat blankly on the sofa.

At first, he considered whether he should go to the Elf Kingdom in person, but the sun that could not rise in the sky and the panic of the people made him dare not and could not leave the Northern Territory at that time.

What can offer people comfort is not the electric sun cosplayed by Chu Guang, but the Duke sitting firmly in the Ice City.

"Brother, please don't blame yourself. If you were there, things would definitely be worse than they are now."

The events that happened during this period also helped Luna to understand some things.

The goddess still cares about her reputation. Apart from her elder brother, she seems to have never laid a hand on anyone else. She usually only directs her own pawns to act.

If anyone made a mistake, it was her own fault for not turning around to help Jenny when the flow of time changed, and instead choosing to continue breaking through the enemy lines.

"Your expression is even worse than mine." Oswald, having regained his spirits, looked up and pinched her little cheek.

Now is not the time for regrets. Apologies can wait until Jenny wakes up. Luna helped the Northern Territory open up the situation, and he hasn't had a chance to properly praise her yet.

"You make me so proud, my sister. Would you like to tell me about your expedition?"

Luna immediately perked up at the mention of this, as she had led her entire army in continuous charges to barely escape victory from the demons.

She sat down next to Oswald and began recounting the journey with animated gestures, starting with the strange changes in the sky.

Oswald also learned more from her story.

First, there's the Eastern capital, buried under corpses; the mycelium that sprouted there is likely the goddess's next move.

Secondly, there was the Calamity Crystal that Paul was holding. When Oswald heard this, his heart nearly jumped out of his throat.

However, was Paul's lack of involvement in the calamity related to his experience of being possessed by the system?

Finally, there was the sword that Paul had seized. Because she was in a hurry to get on her way, Luna did not take the sword with her and instead entrusted it to Paul, who was powerful and had a large army with him.

Oswald had a premonition that he might soon unravel the mystery that haunts the world.
