He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

the other side.

Xie Bai led Atoris and Ivy through the streets surrounding the Dome Academy, searching back and forth for something.

"Mmm..."

"It should be around here."

Xie Bai looked around at the deserted streets, his figure constantly moving among them.

Artorias and Ivy, each carrying packages of various sizes, looked at Xie Bai with some confusion.

"My lord, what are we looking for?"

"And what are we going to do with all this snacks?"

When asked by the two, Xie Bai walked ahead and casually replied.

"These were all bought back for Jamie; they really like the desserts from this area."

"But that's not the main point; bringing things for Jamie was just a side thing."

As he spoke, Xie Bai opened his panel and began to check his task list.

【-When the Dome Is About to Collapse: An Epilogue-】

The final crisis was resolved quickly for some reason, and the world finally enjoyed a rare period of peace. But behind this seemingly idyllic scene, some yet-to-be-initiated individuals are still watching from the sidelines.

However, let's put these mood-dampening matters aside and enjoy this rare moment of leisure. How about going for a drink?

Since leaving the Kingdom of Destiny, Xie Bai has finally completed the only series of quests on his quest list.

Instead, this re-emerging epilogue has taken its place.

There was no clear mission objective, only a seemingly sarcastic suggestion at the end.

This thing appeared very abruptly.

Drinking is definitely not a good idea for her.

Her thin and frail appearance alone was enough to dismiss this absurd suggestion.

However, at this moment, Xie Bai suddenly remembered that Jia Mi and the others had mentioned that there was a mysterious tavern here.

In addition to regular drinks, there is also a dessert menu specifically for children.

It might be a coincidence, but Xie Bai felt that the possibility of these being coincidences was unlikely.

Especially since she had just experienced the events caused by the god of fate.

Instinctively, Xie Bai felt it necessary to come back and check again, lest he have missed anything.

Fortunately, apart from the Dome Academy, the damage elsewhere was not significant.

Although the commercial street Xie Bai walked through was built around the Dome Academy, the damage was not significant.

Given the current environment, if it weren't for the numerous puddles around, outsiders might not even realize the disaster that once occurred here.

"Well…"

My legs are so tired.

Ivy listlessly kept her head down and followed Xie Bai at a slow pace.

"Seriously, why didn't my physical strength improve after inheriting the power...?"

Thinking of this, Ivy secretly glanced at the radiant Atoris beside her.

"This guy is so much stronger than me, so why is he carrying so much less stuff...?"

"Ugh...!"

"No, although we've made up on the surface, it's just a temporary measure. If she manages to outdo us now, all our previous efforts will have been for nothing."

"I have to come up with a plan before she succeeds."

Ivy secretly stopped and took out a fate card that she had prepared in her bosom.

【destiny】

As the most authoritative card in the Fate cards, representing destiny, the Fate card is definitely Ivy's most powerful tool at present.

While Atoris wasn't looking, Ivy hung the bag on her forearm and began to rub the Destiny cards with her two small hands.

"A destiny leading to infinite possibilities has shown me how I can help my lord and win her favor..."

At that moment, the Fate card in her hand began to emit specks of golden light.

At the same time, a strange yet somewhat familiar voice vaguely appeared in her mind.

[Tsk...]

[I was sleeping soundly, who woke me up again? Could it be that white-haired girl again?]

Honestly, she burned my life certificate last time and it still wasn't over. This time it's some kind of life-shortening stuff...

Eh?

The aura seems off; it's not the terrifying void from before.

It feels somewhat familiar, and even a little comfortable...

【Who are you……?】

The voice of the Fate card appeared clearly in Ivy's mind.

【host?!】

[No, Lord. How did you become a short, weak, and physically deficient human girl who looks almost exactly like that witch...?]

The voice of the Fate card suddenly lowered until it was completely inaudible.

It seemed to realize something.

Ivy glanced coldly at the Fate card in her hand, her tone indifferent.

"I'll give you a chance, let me find no reason why I can't burn you."

【cough…】

I served under that white-haired girl… uh, that esteemed Void King for a time. Of course, I'm still there now, but the opportunities aren't as plentiful as before.

To some extent, I can help you figure out what that person wants and cares about, based on your needs.

For example, right now, she's looking for something. I once pretended my computer crashed to fool her, since the thing she's looking for is a bit too time-consuming.

[But haha, you'll definitely be fine. Before the great master of fate, this price is nothing.]

As soon as she finished speaking, the Fate card suddenly produced an arrow made of light, pointing to a general store behind her.

That dilapidated house has been disguised, and a magic array has been installed to reduce its visibility. You should be able to see it once you go up and open the door…

"Whoosh—!"

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew, sending the Destiny Card in Ivy's hand flying into the air.

Ivy instinctively reached out to grab it, but when her gaze fell on the general store mentioned in the Fate Card, she suddenly paused.

Based on her intuition from the power of fate, she could clearly sense that this general store, just as the fate cards indicated, was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Ivy secretly glanced behind her.

For some reason, Xie Bai and Atoris didn't notice the commotion coming from this side, as if they had forgotten about her.

A faint sadness welled up in my heart.

After thinking for a moment, Ivy made up her mind, walked towards the general store without looking back, put her hand on the doorknob, and pulled it down hard.

"Snap!"

The door was opened easily.

Contrary to Ivy's expectations, the place was surprisingly bright, quite the opposite of the gloomy atmosphere she had imagined.

Bathed in warm light, the atmosphere inside is very cozy, making it a perfect place to spend a rainy day.

Judging from the decorations, Ivy could roughly tell that this was a tavern.

As you step inside, a faint, pleasant fragrance wafts towards you.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed to carry a faint smell of blood.

"Hmm? The smell of blood?"

Ivy suddenly looked toward a corner inside the tavern.

A man dressed as a bartender was squatting on the ground, punching a burly man below him with a steady rhythm.

It seemed that he sensed Ivy's arrival, or perhaps he was tired of beating her up.

The other person suddenly stopped what they were doing and slowly stood up.

"Oh, a guest has arrived. I'm sorry, our tavern is currently closed for renovations. Please visit somewhere else while I take care of things..."

As he spoke, the other person glanced at Ivy, his eyes twitching slightly.

"Hmm? Oh, you're a regular customer, Miss Ivy."

"This time, I'm ordering the same thing as a month ago: a glass of milk and a fruit platter."

"Just like 30 million years ago, let me spar with you."
