The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　What sealed her soul and consciousness was a curse-like power that would harm her.

　If left untreated, it will be beyond saving!

　"Let's check their bodies first."

　Dark touched "Shami" who had climbed onto his lap and said. Ollie stood up and said, "I'll do it."

　With Ollie taking action, Dark no longer cared.

　Norma Rogers is more complex, but easier to solve.

　If the curse sealing her soul and consciousness is a common curse, then "aromatherapy" can remove the abnormal state.

　If even aromatherapy cannot dispel the curse, it is most likely because the cursed entity exists within Norma Roger's body.

　Once Ollie has carefully examined and confirmed the cursed entity, she can either remove it or use Shamy's "Natural Recovery" to absorb and purify it.

　In short, there are ways to do it, and it's not that difficult. The real challenge lies with Quintina North.

　Dark had experience dealing with this situation.

　Similarly, the most typical example is the soul entanglement between "Son of the Hero" Vito Gold and the predecessor of "Demon King Aleister".

　Once two souls of different consciousnesses merge, it becomes extremely difficult to separate them.

　Now we can only pray that Quintina North's condition hasn't gotten that bad.

　Ollie's test results came back quickly.

　Quintina North had almost no injuries; some minor scratches had been treated during the examination.

　Norma Rogers' injuries were very serious; she had clearly been through a fierce battle. Although her external wounds had been treated, the internal injuries to her organs were severe, as if the creature controlling her had only repaired her skin to avoid detection.

　This type of injury is more difficult to cure completely, but for now, her life is not in danger. After examining her, Ollie began to receive careful treatment.

　While inspecting them, Ollie also found two gold medals on their bodies!

　Although it's puzzling, they did indeed win two gold medals.

　The gold medal found on Quintina North was engraved with Zeus, the "King of the Gods," holding a thunderbolt!

　The appearance of this gold medal inevitably leads people to connect it with Quintina North's current situation.

　“Could it be…” Fred North said, his face slightly pale, “that the consciousness residing within Quintina… could it be that it belongs to the ‘King of Gods’?”

　Dark thought for a moment and said, "Theoretically, it's possible. But logically, it's hard to achieve. None of the gold medals we have are imbued with any trace of consciousness. A gold medal is just a gold medal."

　“But…” Fred North wanted to say something, but hesitated. Dark just looked at him, not urging him.

　After a long pause, Fred North took a deep breath and finally said, "But Quintina possesses the Blood of Zeus!"

　Dark frowned slightly and said, "That's not a valid reason. We all possess 'divine blood,' but none of us have summoned fragments of divine consciousness."

　Fred North shook his head and said, "That's different. Quintina is special! She must be a fragment of Zeus's consciousness!"

　“Alright, whatever you say goes.” Dark picked out the gold medal he had obtained from Norma Roger and examined it as well.

　He had actually suspected from the beginning that the fragments of consciousness within Quintina belonged to Zeus, the "King of the Gods," and his actions just now were merely an attempt to extract some information from Fred North.

　It now seems that Quintina North may indeed be harboring some kind of secret.

　If the original script had been followed, and Quintina Nos had inherited Zeus's divine power, she would likely have undergone an unexpected transformation.

　But the current situation is actually not much different.

　Looking back, Quintina North's current situation reminded Dark of Audrey Joan of Arc, who should still be at St. Marian Academy at this time.

　It is possible that the soul of the "God of War" resided within Audrey Joan of Arc.

　Norma Roger's gold medal is engraved with Ares, the "God of War," holding a spear and standing atop a chariot.

　Dark was quite surprised that she had also won a gold medal. Theoretically, the creature controlling her body should be the one hunting her—but if that were the case, the "War God's Relic" gold medal would never have appeared.

　The fact that the gold medal is indeed here means that Norma Rogers has indeed killed a creature that was hunting humans, which is most likely the same creature that was hunting her.

　But then, who would be controlling her body?

　Although there are many dangerous creatures in the "Heavenly Court", apart from the twelve creatures whose consciousness was implanted, there should not be any creatures so obsessed with them.

　So, let's think about it in the simplest way possible.

　It seems that the only one controlling Norma Rogers can be that last, yet-to-be-seen creature!

　Dark's gaze suddenly shifted to Zenny Burns. The latter was also looking over, and their eyes met.

　"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be this one," Zenny Burns said with some guilt.

　Clearly, in her mind, Norma Rogers wouldn't be suffering like this if she hadn't failed to kill the creature.

　But Dak had no time to consider her feelings.

　If this inference is correct, then it means that the creature that was chasing Zenny Burns is nearby.

　That was the last remaining creature, and the ultimate recipient of the gold medal. At that moment, there was absolutely no reason to let it go!

　"Find it and kill it!"

　Norma Rogers' treatment is progressing relatively smoothly. There is indeed a mass of cursed substance hidden within her body.

　Instead of relying on "Shami's" "natural regeneration", Ollie used a magic card to summon a "hand of illusion" that reached into Norma Roger's body and directly pulled out the cursed substance!

　Then the Twin Paladins summoned holy light to purify them.

　At this moment, the effects of "aromatherapy" became apparent, and Norma Roger's lingering curse gradually dissipated amidst the floral fragrance.

　Once the curse was completely eradicated, her soul and consciousness were freed. But she did not awaken.

　Norma Rogers' condition is much more serious than Zenny Burns' condition was before, and it is virtually impossible for her to wake up in the short term.

　But at least her life was safe.

　Dark immediately began the hunt for the last creature. Instead of searching aimlessly, he summoned the "Trash Slime" and used "Greed 3i" to evolve it into "Greedy Slime 2".

　Immediately afterwards, he threw one of the gold medals into the body of "Greedy Slime 2" to have it analyzed, and then used his ultimate move - "Greedy Nature" - to find a new gold medal!

　The "greedy nature" of "Greedy Slime 2" has been severely disrupted in this "Heavenly Court".

　But even if the creature is nearby, there is still a possibility of finding it.

　However, Dark's idea was still too idealistic.

　[Greedy Slime 2L] cannot sense the new gold medal at all.

　The gold medals appear after the creatures die, not because they are carried with them.

　Of course, it's impossible to use this as a basis for a search.

　However, after failing to search, "Greedy Slime 2" suddenly turned around in one direction and made a "Puyo Puyo" sound.

　Dark had a sudden thought and immediately gave "Demon King Aldridge" a wink.

　"Snapped!"

　"Demon King Aldridge" narrowed his eyes, immediately ran out of the carriage, and flew towards the direction that "Greedy Slime 2" had chosen out of thin air.

　A short while later, the sounds of fierce fighting came from the other side.

　This battle was unexpectedly difficult.

　Just as Zenny Burns said, the creature that was hunting her had become stronger after their last battle!

　It not only possesses extremely strong direct combat capabilities, but can also curse souls and control targets.

　[Demon King Aldrich] did not initially reveal his true form and was no match for it.

　Thanks to the passive existence of the "Demon King", it is not worried about being controlled.

　But when it revealed its true form, "Demon King Aldrich" did not kill it immediately. Instead, it slowly eroded its life force to a certain extent before a "devourer" ended it!

　The creature looked like a headless elephant with twelve eyes, evenly distributed across its body, forming a circle.

　From its body below its eyes, countless transparent roots sprout.

　As it grows, those roots transform into special tentacles. Some of them have physical form and can deliver sharp physical attacks, while others are ghost-like ethereal entities that can penetrate defenses and strike the soul!

　After "Demon King Aldrich" digested and absorbed it, he actually gained the ability to curse and seal the soul!

　The ability to curse and seal the soul, when transformed into a finishing move, is called "Soul-Sealing Demon Needle." It can condense the power of the curse into a needle shape, pierce the opponent's soul, and nail it to death.

　"Desperate Lion's Roar," "Fire of Sin," "Fire of Jealousy," "Soul-Sealing Demon Needle"... It seems that there are more and more ultimate techniques targeting the soul.

　And when "Demon King Aldrich" completely absorbed the power of the last creature, the final gold medal appeared as expected!

　The front of that gold medal was indeed engraved with Hestia, the "Goddess of the Hearth," cooking over a fire!

　Hestia truly deserves her title as one of the "Three Virgin Goddesses" alongside Artemis and Athena. Her beauty is evident even in that statue.

　Inside the carriage of the "Lunar Chariot".

　Dak took out all twelve gold medals and placed them one by one on the table, trying to find the secrets that might be hidden among them together with the others.

　However, the concept of "gathering the seven Dragon Balls to summon Shenron" did not materialize. Although these twelve gold medals exuded a divine aura, they were unable to unleash any special power.

　Everyone shared their opinions, but the discussion ultimately yielded no results. They were simply killing time, waiting for the professors to arrive, and therefore weren't in a hurry.

　Although Dark had the mission of rescuing Principal Arte, his past experiences had made him more cautious—he did not want to take unnecessary risks and add another name to the professors' rescue list.

　Now, young people from all sides have begun to doubt the so-called "guidance" and "inheritance" that were previously claimed.

　Norma Rogers, lying unconscious in the carriage, constantly reminded them how dangerous this "heavenly palace" was.

　They wanted to know the truth, but only if they could survive. No one wanted to die for nothing.

　What's more, he died under such obvious circumstances of conspiracy, and his death was shrouded in mystery.

　Therefore, everyone reached a tacit agreement to wait for the main forces of each side to enter before continuing their actions.

　Although a very long time has passed since they entered the "Heavenly Court," there is still no sign that the main forces of all parties have entered the "Heavenly Court."

　But they still believe.

　Darke, of course, also shared this trust. So he waited patiently.

　However, they were indeed patient, ns

　As night fell in the "Heavenly Court," time gradually slipped away.

　The night sky was pitch black, devoid of stars and moon, with only occasional large, shadowy figures writhing in the darkness.

　However, the night sky was invisible from the ground above the central city. Dark and the others continued to wait.

　Aside from not getting enough sleep, their condition gradually returned to normal, and they also replenished the magic power of their respective magic cards.

　The person behind the scenes seemed to have deliberately and "gently" waited for them to recover to a better state before suddenly creating a new variable!

　The pterosaur's stillness, like an ancient tomb, could not stop the true gods from spying.

　The twelve gold medals, which had been put back into the backpack, suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light.

　Dark and the others almost instinctively became wary.

　But wherever that light shone, all of humanity vanished into thin air! This is very similar to the "disappearance" they experienced.

　They still carried their personal belongings, but the magical spirits were not transported away with them.

　When they regained their footing, they found themselves on the Tower of Endymion!

　The exact number of floors is unknown, but it is very tall.

　The backpack with twelve gold medals was right in front of me, but now it just looked glaringly conspicuous.

　Fortunately, they were not transported to different places and were all gathered together. The surrounding space was circular, with nothing but pillars and stairs, offering a completely unobstructed view of the windows on the surrounding walls.

　There was no glass in the window, and wind kept pouring in, making an eerie whistling sound.

　Upon closer inspection, Dak discovered that all twelve people were there—including Norma Roger, who was still unconscious.

　"Don't panic."

　Dark said calmly, gradually calming his flustered emotions.

　But he was actually a little nervous inside.

　Because neither "Shami" nor "Demon King Aldridge" came with it.

　Fortunately, "Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction" was not teleported over either.

　Once "Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction" realizes what's happening, it can directly use "Lost Prophecy" to find him.
