Cloud Thinking

Idrija watched Ariana's eyes, which had always been full of light, gradually dim, and couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh.

The first time he saw the other person, he felt that this person was so hypocritical. He was obviously a selfish person, but he had the nerve to say that he was doing it for all of them.

With that ideal that could never be realized in his heart, he would deceive himself and get up no matter what happened, like an indestructible cockroach, which made him very unhappy.

Whenever Ariana looked at him, he always felt that he was the dirty shadow that could not hide under the light.

He was wondering how he could extinguish the light in her eyes.

So he came up with a brilliant plan.

Didn't she want to save the women who were oppressed like her? Didn't she want to be the guide and savior? Then he shattered her hopes and made her hands stained with their blood.

He had been holding it in after doing those things, and was almost going crazy, just to give her a hard blow later and enjoy the look of her self-blame and despair.

Hahahaha! He really did a great job! He was worthy of his identity as the Son of Chaos. He was so excited!

But before he could be happy for too long, a pair of extremely cold hands silently reached out to the back of his neck and quickly clenched it. The speed was so fast that he had no time to react at all, and his lifeline was strangled.

"Hello... Idrija..."

"Have you been having fun pretending to be me these past two days..."

Idrija tried to turn around, but the sudden tightening of his neck made him dare not move at will. He could only slowly raise his hands over his head and smiled and replied, "You are back, Her Highness Helia."

The joy in his tone didn't sound fake, as if he was truly happy and welcomed the other person's return.

Even if it came back in a form that threatened his life.

Idrija couldn't see what was happening behind him, but Aliana, who was lying on the ground, saw it clearly:

A dark crack appeared out of nowhere, and a pair of hands that were so white that they were almost cold stretched out from the crack. Looking closely, one could see thin black lines and sticky water spreading on the arms.

The thin black line seemed to cut the hand completely apart, leaving it in a shattered state.

Then, the crack expanded little by little. Even though there was no sound, one could feel a pair of hands tearing and prying open the strange space crack little by little, just like tearing flesh.

Helia was slowly spit out by the crack like a baby born from the mother's womb.

She was not in good condition. She was wet all over, with torn clothes and uneven long hair sticking to her skin. The strong color difference made her look even more terrifying.

The exposed skin is pale and covered with black lines, especially on the face, and some parts have mutated into non-human appearances.

Sharp, black and slightly curved nails, the thin but not negligible black scales on the back of the hand, the left eye that sparkled with golden light in the darkness, and the fangs with blood stains that were not covered by the lips.

All these things made her look like a demon crawling out of hell, coming to take revenge on those who framed her.

"Is it fun to pretend to be me these days?" Helia leaned over to Idrija's ear and whispered.

Even though they were so close, the breath she exhaled was so cold that Idrija couldn't help but get goose bumps.

It was pitch black in the dirty river. She had no idea how long she had been in there. She also had no idea whether the speed of time in the dirty river was the same as that in the outside world, so she had no idea what the situation was now.

But this did not prevent her from dealing with the two guys who backstabbed her.

"Of course, I really enjoyed being a princess of the empire!"

Idrija did not hide his excitement, and even explained the current situation to Helia: "Now everyone knows that Her Highness Helia killed Dorado who wanted to assassinate her in public."

"And Claude sentenced you to three months of confinement, indicating his intention to go to war with the Magic Association."

"How is it, are you satisfied with this good show?"

So that's it. Helia finally understood the purpose of Idrija's trip, which was to provoke a war between the Magic Association and the Royal Family.

Although it was unclear why the other party did this, judging from Claude's reaction, he should be able to bear the result.

Moreover, the situation has been determined. The blame has been firmly pinned on his head and cannot be removed. Even if he kills Idrija now, it will not change anything.

"Satisfied? Why not?" Helia slowly lowered her head, put her sharp teeth on Idrija's warm and fragile neck, and bit it without hesitation.

Idrija groaned in pain. As Helia sucked his blood bit by bit, his body trembled and convulsed uncontrollably. His eyes rolled up, leaving only the whites of his eyes.

Because of the close contact between the two, the black line was also shared with Idrija, and it spread very quickly. After a while, it covered his face, forcing him to show his original appearance.

But Helia's approach made Idrija's aura of Helia even stronger. This was one of the drawbacks of this magic. He could not restore his appearance on his own and could only wait for the aura to dissipate.

The power being drained caused the magic power that maintained the magic to become unstable, causing him to return to his original appearance, but the heavier breath made it difficult for him to remove the magic, maintaining the appearance of Helia.

This has resulted in Idrija's appearance constantly changing, sometimes it is Helia, sometimes it is himself.

Finally, it stabilized in a strange state and became a fusion of Helia and Idrija.

The black lines corroded his body, turning him into a demon like Helia. Moreover, his condition seemed to be worse than Helia's. His eyes were almost completely occupied by deep black, as if he had completely lost his mind.

But in contrast, Helia's condition seemed to be much better. Her pale face finally regained some of the rosy redness of a living person, and the black lines on her body were much less.

She opened her mouth and used her tongue to wipe the blood from the corner of her lips into her mouth. Then she threw Idrija, who had turned limp into a puddle, aside and looked at Ariana, who was lying on the ground, speechless and frightened.

Idrija did not lose consciousness, and the wound on his neck healed quickly, leaving only an ambiguous kiss mark. However, because he had lost too much magic power, he was extremely weak at the moment and did not even have the strength to lift a finger.

The power of a seventh-level magician, plus the power bestowed upon believers by the Lord of Chaos, is a great tonic for Helia today.

After eating half her fill, Helia finally felt better and said slowly, "I won't kill you. Just stay here and be good."

She didn't care about the two uninvited guests who broke into her bedroom. She walked to the closet, took out her clothes, and prepared to take a shower.

Until she had cleaned up, the two people in the room did not move. One reason was that they were aware of the current situation and they could not escape even if they tried to escape. The other reason was that they did not want to anger Helia again, lest she kill them in extreme rage.

Helia walked straight to the armor rack, on which hung the dragon scale armor that Watersiser had made for her. She reached in and pulled out a small black thing.

It was Watersise who had fallen into a deep sleep.

But strangely, even though Helia had escaped from the dirty river and had contact with Watersise, they did not reunite and remained separated.

Moreover, Watersise looked very weak and had not responded to her so far. He was still in a physical state, unconscious.

It seems that the restrictions imposed by the political center on gods are really severe.

But this is not all bad for Helia.

He was also very curious about what method Idrija used to forcibly separate her from Watersise.

Even if Wattsise has fallen, he is still a god after all. Judging from Helia's previous test, Idrija is not particularly strong, so how could he attack a god?

"Son of Chaos, are you a subordinate of the Lord of Chaos?" Helia hooked over the chair, sat down slowly, crossed her legs, looked down at Idrija who was lying limp on the ground, and asked.

She knew the Lord of Chaos. This guy was of a similar nature to the evil goddess William Tenlis. They both liked to stir up trouble and were afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

It's just that black magic is evil without reason, they do evil based on their own will, while the Sons of Chaos often have reasons to stir up disputes, even if they sometimes create chaos and disputes just for the fun of watching the show.

The reason why the Sons of Chaos were not hunted down by the magic world like the black magicians was because they had been very quiet in recent decades and had hardly caused any trouble, and as a result, their master had become less famous.

It is said that the previous batch of Sons of Chaos were all killed in their attempt to create chaos, and the Lord of Chaos was also hunted by other gods, severely injured, so he had to remain silent.

Idrija did not reply, as if intending to respond to all questions with silence.

Helia changed her posture and held Watersise tightly in her arms. Her restless hands slid down the little black dragon's back, feeling the ups and downs of his breathing.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Helia began to ponder on her own: "It seems that this method is also the method of the Lord of Chaos..."

"The relationship between the Magic Association and the Royal Family is deteriorating day by day. Disputes will inevitably arise in the future, and turmoil in the magic world is also predictable..."

"You just lit the fuse in advance. Even if it wasn't you, it would have been someone else."

"But I'm curious, why did you choose me?" Helia tapped the little black dragon's wings and continued, "Does the Lord of Chaos want to cooperate with War?"

"Use disputes to start a war and work together to overthrow this order?"

Idrija still didn't answer, but Helia didn't need his answer.

She stood up, pulled the thin blanket from the bed, wrapped the unconscious Watersise in it, and hung it in her arms, holding him gently with one hand as if he were a child.

"Since you like playing me so much, then for the next three months, you should stay here and be a princess of the empire."

"You deserve to bear the consequences of your actions, don't you?"

Helia had set up a magic circle in her room, one circle within another, one layer within another, using almost all she had learned in her life to ensure that this guy would not be able to escape without the help of the gods.

Moreover, she didn't think that in a political center like the imperial palace, the Lord of Chaos's hands could really reach so far, nor did he have the ability to rescue people.

As for Ariana...

Helia carried the person out of the house and threw her to the confused Lydia, but fortunately, although the little wolf was not clear about the current situation, she obeyed Helia's orders 100%, so she decisively took over Ariana and imprisoned her.

She was half blind, so there was no need to worry about what she might do. Who told her to be so bold as to look at Watersiser in Helia's arms?

That is the entity of God. Even though Watersise has fallen, he is still a god, an existence higher than humans.

Helia's situation is special because she is the vessel of God and her body has been transformed by Watersise, but Ariana is not like that. She is just an ordinary person.

Idrija was fine. Perhaps because he knew that it was not something he could peek at, or because he simply did not have the strength to even look up, he was able to save his eyes.

Although Ariana played a role in her misfortune, she did not do it on purpose and was just being used, so Helia did not want her life.

Ariana is still somewhat useful, and after this experience, she will be more convinced of herself.

There are too few people I can use now, and there are many things to do, so keeping her around can still be useful.

But she was still upset because she suffered a great loss because of Ariana, so she had to teach her a lesson to some extent.

As for what she was going to do now? Of course, she was going to solve the issue of the Magic Association.

Even if she was unhappy with Dorado, she would not kill him in front of so many people. It would not only be bad for her, but also for the royal family.

The Magic Association and the Magic Families are all old entities that have been rooted for many years. To ordinary people, they are huge monsters, and even the royal family cannot easily offend all of them.

It is not a good thing to make too many enemies at once.

When she thought about having to clean up someone else's mess, she gnashed her teeth in anger and wished she could eat Idrissa's flesh and blood.

She was unable to contact Ian Hill in the dirty river at the time, and was not sure whether the other party really could not come or was deliberately ignoring her. She could only find a way out on her own.

She didn't have much power, but Watersise did give her a very good gift - the power of devouring.

Even if they are monsters formed by the evil thoughts of the dirty river, they still have some power left in them. Although it is little, a little bit of meat is still meat, and there is still the possibility that they may be contaminated.

Now that Watersisse is not there to protect her sea of ​​consciousness, if it is contaminated, she will be finished.

But fortunately, her will was strong enough, or rather, her anger made her sober, so she ate a large piece of monster and barely gathered enough strength to tear apart the dirty river.

But this also caused her to be almost half contaminated by the dirty river. The black lines on her body were the signs of invasion by evil thoughts. The moment she came out, she almost wanted to eat that damn Idrija alive.

Fortunately, she had escaped from the dirty river and barely managed to keep her sanity. She only drew some of Idrija's power and separated some of her evil thoughts.

Although the move of swallowing the monster was extremely risky, at least from the current point of view, she had gained something, not only had she escaped from the dirty river, but she had also gained a lot of power.

And there are a lot of good things hidden in those monsters.

The power was mixed with some memories, and she learned a lot of things that were probably extinct in this world.

Although she was very unhappy that Idrija was plotting against her, she still needed this guy to stay in the palace to create an illusion. She could also use these three months to go out and solve some problems that she was not convenient to solve herself.

After all, Helia is in solitary confinement in the palace and it is impossible for her to appear outside, right?
