"... I had not yet understood how much my prophetic powers could be more dangerous than beneficial for our world. My naivety at that time caused consequences I could not foresee even in my most frightening nightmares; I apologize if you were one of the victims." Instead of justifying herself, she bowed to Alice, despite suffering the most from the consequences of her own powers.

'... I now understand why this inspectress looks at her with so much hatred in her eyes.' Alvine murmured with a disinterested air.

"Do you believe that your apology will erase your sins?!" Alice retorted between her clenched teeth.

"... No, I'm not trying to repent, Miss Alice."

"What?!"

"Contrary to what you think, I don't really have any guilt towards you; even if it seems proud of me, I repeat, know that I don't have the slightest guilt. I also lost my parents because of my ignorance. But does that make me the culprit?" Although she raised her voice, she could not hide her emotions which made her voice tremble like a ball of sadness embedded in her heart.

"... You are, as people describe you, arrogant and Prideful." Alice retorted as she unconsciously lost control over her powers.

"Arrogant? Prideful? So what? Would you make the same speech if you had been kidnapped by malicious people who would use your predictive powers just to serve their interests? Will you let me accuse you if it was you who had lost everything, including your parents, your loved ones, and all the people you know, just to be used as an object to whom attributed the role of lucky charm?!"

"..."

Seeing her frown at her with her bloodthirsty look, In Soon Min continued without feeling intimidated by her.

"Know one thing, Miss Alice, I have no regrets or guilt. I continue to live because I no longer have this right; I continue to fight day and night only because I have nothing more to protect, and as for the fates of people or this world, I don't care if it is standing or in ashes!"

"... It's ridiculous. Why do you keep making predictions if you hate your powers so much?! Do you mean that my parents died for nothing?!" She froze in the face of the Oracle's assertions as her tears flowed because of her emotional overload, but her hate still existed in her soul.

"...Fuck! Do you think I have a choice?!" While In Soon Min stuttered these words with a clenched throat, her pupils became strange as a mysterious glow she had never seen manifested itself in the depths of them.

Seeing this darkness, and noticing the black aura around her instead of a deep blue, a charming smile appeared on Alvine's lips.

'Each of these two has their own experiences that are both sad and ironic. But what makes this oracle more interesting is her empty heart. She looks like an ordinary woman like all the others, but the reality is different. Even though I have seen her memories and managed to see through her emotions, I can't know what she really wants. She only talked about the loved ones she had lost because of her powers, but her suffering was worse than death.

-But hey, it's not like I'm complaining about her; everyone has their own experience, including this cold goddess. It is not because a person suffers that it's the worst among everyone. On the other hand, this inspectress has as much hatred as the oracle; but it's just that she does not yet know how to evacuate this hatred; she has only channeled it for years.

-Ah, how powerful will they become soon? As the saying goes, the sword only saves people if given to a priest; otherwise, it will become the tool to exterminate everything in its path if a demon handles it. But the most ironic thing is that this oracle intended to use me to fulfill her wish to exterminate everyone.' He murmured with euphoric eyes guided by the thirst for blood that the two women showed him.

But despite his desire to follow the show unanimously, he did not have this luxury because of Stella, who came to make her report after her inspection mission.

*What's the problem?*

*Groups of insects dressed in black dresses with red eyes tattooed on their wrists fight against other insects.*

*... What a nice report, Stella.* He retorted with an ironic smile.

*...*

*Drop your 'insect' vocabulary and tell me if you've discovered anything else. An anomaly that is not supposed to exist on this planet.* He continued by specifying the points that interested him.

*...A strange man seems to have the mark of General Shadow's subordination.*

*!! - Interesting. So I didn't make a mistake, huh? There is a guy among them who uses dark affinity.* He caresses his chin thoughtfully while frowning.

'There is something wrong on this planet. I only came here tonight, but yet, there are so many strange things that I'm starting to ask myself questions based on a more fanciful than real imagination.'

*Should I bring you this ant-- I mean, this man?*

*... No, let them fight each other. We will soon have a reason to take action.*

*You are in the righteous, my lord.*

After this exchange, he focused on the two, who seemed to confront each other from one moment to the next.

-Whhhhhuuuu!!

Just as he wanted to help them, he frowned when he saw Alice begin hostilities.

-Grab.

"May I know what you are doing?" He asks, grabbing Alice's fiery fist with a bare hand.

"You heard her, didn't you? This madwoman knowingly caused all this chaos just to take revenge on--

"So what? What differentiates you from her by attacking her first?"

"!?"

"Are you not doing the same thing for personal reasons?" He asked in a deep voice.

"No, it's not...

"Sigh, This is the second time I've saved you from suicide." He sighed as he released Alice's hand while whispering these words to her.

"??" Her expression became confused as she looked around her, not knowing what he was talking about.

"!!"

But at that moment, Alvine turned around and showed her his back, more precisely, his black coat, which had three small holes perforated as if he had just countered the fire of a knife.

"..."

Seeing her silence, he focused on In Soon Min, who was panting because of the consequences of her attacks.

"I changed my mind." He said, handing her another bottle that had a thick red liquid as if it were blood.

"What does this mean?" She then asked that her mistrust reach its climax.

"Drink this elixir before I return, or keep it for me until I return." He explained himself by seeing the mistrust in her eyes.

"I thought you were giving me enough time to think calmly?"

"Time? No, I'm no longer in the mood to give it to you. Either you take this potion before I return, or... I don't need to tell you what would follow after." He retorted by taking the hand of the Oracle and placing the vial in her palm.

"..." Despite her silence, she still held the vial with her pale face and wilted lips.

From every point of view, anyone could guess how painful she was.

Her white hair became whiter, like a grandmother's at the end of her life cycle, not to mention her face and skin, which were more wrinkled than before.

Seeing her actions, Alvine focused on Alice.

"I don't even want my shadow to appear on the surveillance cameras in this building. Do what you want, but I want results and not excuses." He replied coldly, erasing the smile he had on his lips.

*Stella, come with me.*

After assigning the role of everyone except Reha, he exits the Oracle apt, which was guarded by five guards (two women and three men) in black suits.

"I see that you have noticed that she will not be able to see the light of day if she does not cure herself," Reha whispered as she followed him closely.

"... She cast her deadly attack using her vital energy and not her mana; it is a suicide for her who has almost no vital energy." He responds calmly by walking casually in the empty corridor to the stairs.

"According to my forecasts, she will not have more than two hours in front of her before she dies." He continued in a monotonous voice.

"Two hours? No, it's rather an hour and ten minutes." Reha affirmed with certainty.

"...All the more reason for me to speed up my plans."

"Oh? I never thought I saw you so emotional."

"It's not a question of attachment... sigh, it may be true; I feel the same attachment that the owner feels to his cat. It's a risky bet, I grant you, but the rarest diamonds are more often among piles of pebbles; who knows how much these two will surprise me in the future? They are like Sofia, who can defeat enemies more powerful than her."

While he was quietly talking with Reha, the two arrived in front of the stairs.

And since In Soon Min's room was on the top floor, and due to the fact that Alvine walked without haste, they took longer than expected before reaching the ground floor after about two minutes. On the other hand, it had made it easier for them to gradually clean up the building of the microbes that prevented it.

'These people are not really different from the lowest-ranking mages who live on Alzania, except for their limited skills. That's understandable given their low levels and limited knowledge in this field.'

But instead of Alvine or Reha, it was Stella who took care of their cases by making them faint, following Alvine's orders.

Instead, he seemed to play the observer role, who took note of everything and anything.

But when on the ground floor, Alvine ordered Stella to stay on hold until he could assess the situation, even if he had seen everything before with his perception.

"Don't let any of these bastards access the basement!" Suddenly, a man shouted with rage with his earthen armor that wrapped his body with two earth golems by his side.

He was like a main guard who protected the elevator to the basement where the auction was supposed to take place.

Although he was besieged on all sides, undergoing fierce offensive attacks, he maintained his role as a defensive shield and bombed all those who tried to approach him at five meters.

But unlike him, other people are dressed in blue uniforms (winds), Reds (fire), grey (earth), or white (water) according to their belongings.

And not surprisingly, the renegade in question were, as described by Stella, dressed in black with masks on their faces.

And their advantages were that they were unpredictable because of their clothes that did not show their affinities.

But even with this detail, Alvine had no trouble guessing their affinities by looking through their mana cores that showed gleams according to their attributes.

'Intermediate - (Dark Cyan), Advanced - (Light green), Master - (Dark Green), and Great Master magi - (Light Blue).' Alvine murmured, calmly looking at the level of cultivation of the mages who were raging between them with confused eyes.

"Lord, what are your orders?" Stella asked him, looking at the others with disdainful eyes.

"Hmm..."

'There is also this guy who manages to hide in the shade areas thanks to the affinity of darkness. In addition to him, there are about three mages of spiritual rank in the basement to protect the items that will be sold at auction. Sigh, I don't want to get involved in their quarrels. But if I want to know more about this guy, I guess I have no other alternatives than to give him a reason to consider me as the worst enemy.'

After this conclusion, he shakes his head toward Stella.

"Let me care for them; it will be more efficient and faster." Just by pronouncing these words,

-Caw, caw, caw....!!!

...Dozens of the little crows appeared in his shadow and attacked, in turn, the men in black.

And as the crows flew at a speed imperceptible to all those on the ground floor, all they could hear was their sharp croaks followed by the successively faint of the men in black, except their leader, who hid in the shadows.

At the same time, Alvine emerged from his invisibility shield with Reha at his side.

'I came here to attend the auction after all. But even if I am already sure that this sale will not be able to bring me what I came for, this is not a reason to turn my heels and leave. The most important at the moment is news fishing.' He whispered, looking in turn at the event organizers and those who came to attend.
