Chapter 335
* * *
Diane said.
“The moderate faction’s doctrine is quite fascinating. They believe that the deeper the affection, attraction, or enchantment people feel toward each other, the stronger the power they can obtain.”
Then she snickered.
“It’s different from Rodrigo, who unconditionally pursues only lust. In other words, one sexual encounter between lovers, spouses, or people who find each other attractive is better than a hundred indiscriminate sexual encounters with someone you feel nothing for.”
Diane raised her finger.
“What’s important here is ‘mutual.’ They say the effect is better when two people have the same type of feelings, or when the depth of those feelings is profound.”
“…”
“That’s why the serpent people—the northern people here—call it desire, affection, love, and enchantment.”
After finishing her conversation with Diane, Dana fell deep into thought.
Desire, affection, love, enchantment…
No matter how much she thought about it, it was truly a fascinating theory.
That meant, in the end, she had felt affection, or at least enchantment, toward everyone who had given her power so far.
Those things had made her stronger.
‘Especially after performing the worship ritual of Diana’s religion, my power has been steadily growing stronger.’
The dramatic growth of power was a privilege for those who had performed the worship ritual.
She had performed Diana’s worship ritual in the body of ‘Danaina Rolland,’ and since then, she had continuously experienced growth in her abilities, reaching her current level.
‘Well, even before that, my power seemed to be gradually getting stronger. Of course, my soul was already in an awakened state…’
Dana tapped the table softly.
Tonight at midnight, she had decided to go to the Red Castle with Karl.
And she would purify the lake of black corruption pooled underground. She had to wash it all away so that unidentified human couldn’t create a Black Core.
‘That would require a lot of power…’
Unfortunately, she was currently in a weakened state. That’s why she was worried.
What if she failed to purify the lake of black corruption?
Or what if, after purification, she died from lack of power as Karl had said?
‘That can’t happen. If I die now, my soul will be trapped in Somallia’s bottle.’
Dana sighed. Her head was throbbing.
The fate of this land and her own life were at stake.
This was exactly when she should utilize that desire…
But unfortunately.
Dana glanced at Karl’s luggage bag.
Karl had gone out with Diane, saying he needed her help because he had something else to buy before going to the Red Castle.
Dana had tried to go with them, but.
“Dana still needs recovery, so rest a little more.”
So the two of them had gone out alone.
‘Of course, I’m not feeling well right now.’
Dana glared at the bag with a sulky expression. Who knows. Maybe it wasn’t just a simple outing but a date.
Maybe they went to have a passionate time together while I wasn’t there. Perhaps a few condoms had disappeared from Karl’s bag…
…How many were there originally?
‘I think there were forty.’
Dana stared at the bag and swallowed her saliva.
How many condoms were in the bag now?
If there were fewer than forty, it would be undeniable evidence…
At that moment, Dana closed her eyes in self-loathing.
‘Please, may no one ever know what I just thought.’
How could she have such vulgar thoughts?
Dana realized for the first time that she had this side to her.
Stalking and searching through belongings were Karl Windsor’s perverted specialties, so why was I trying to imitate him?
‘Ah, forget it. Who cares.’
Let me pull myself together and find a way to recharge my power for tonight’s decisive battle.
In any case, there was still time until midnight.
‘In this situation, if I experienced desire like I did with Lumiere before, my power would greatly increase.’
The sexual ecstasy experienced with someone she truly loved had given her tremendous power.
At that moment, a certain possibility crossed her mind.
‘What if I experienced it through Divine Sight?’
Using Divine Sight, her soul could exist simultaneously with one foot in different times.
And the soul thread attached to her soul would be connected to her physical body in reality…
If she used Divine Sight to visit that moment, wouldn’t this body recover a little too?
‘Of course, using Divine Sight itself consumes a lot of energy.’
In her experience, Divine Sight consumed extreme energy in three cases.
First, when Dana viewed the time of ‘others’ where she wasn’t present at the scene.
Second, when viewing times from long ago.
And third, when viewing times from long ago of others where Dana wasn’t present at the scene.
‘Moreover, the older the time, the greater the power consumption.’
But her time with Lumiere was only a few days ago, and it was something she had directly experienced.
Generally, in such cases, the energy consumption wasn’t comparatively large.
Then wouldn’t it be worth trying?
However, Dana hesitated a little. It wasn’t for any other reason.
‘At that time, I wasn’t in my right mind because I was experiencing personality confusion…’
Unlike now, Justio hadn’t given her the necklace. She was somewhat reluctant to experience that state again because it was unsettling.
‘Well, it’s only for a moment anyway.’
After pondering briefly, Dana made her decision.
When she thought of a new theory, the way to prove it was very simple.
Try it directly.
‘Let’s go.’
To not long ago.
To when she slept with Lumiere on Godom Island.
* * *
Night.
The late night of the island.
“Break off your engagement and say you’ll live with me.”
Lumiere, split by deep desire.
“Then I’ll do whatever you want.”
Anything is fine.
Hurry.
I understand, so hurry.
“You promised.”
Yes, I’ll promise.
“You’re canceling your engagement now.”
The next moment, creak—as he put his weight on it, the bed groaned. Dana’s breath caught in her throat.
“Live with me…”
* * *
And Dana’s eyes snapped open.
‘Wow.’
She exhaled breathlessly and straightened her back. For just a moment, it seemed she had been slumped over the table.
‘It really works.’
She looked down at her hands in amazement. Her hands were still flushed red from the lingering traces of pleasure. She clenched her hands into fists and steadied her breathing.
What remained wasn’t just the afterglow of pleasure.
‘I can feel more power filling me.’
This experiment had truly been effective.
She could really feel power being transfused to her physical body in reality through the Soul Thread. Dana smiled with satisfaction as she felt the strength return to her fingertips.
‘It’s less than I expected, but still much better than before.’
If it had been something experienced in this time, with this body, she would have recovered greatly.
But since it was power transmitted to her body through a Soul Thread connected to a soul that straddled different times simultaneously, it was less than expected. There was even power that had drained away when she opened her Divine Sight.
‘Still, the power gained is greater.’
Diane was right.
Viego’s doctrine, the Moderate Faction’s doctrine was truly correct.
The doctrine claimed by the people of this Northern Region—the Snake People—was right.
‘Then this isn’t a power based primarily on lust after all.’
The mutual emotions that form the foundation of the act of giving and receiving.
The depth of affection toward each other, or communion through intense fascination felt for one another—passionate love was the true source of power.
Therefore, the intense sexual union between people who love each other was the key to obtaining the greatest power.
But Rodrigo Windsor would probably never understand or experience this in his lifetime.
Because he’s someone who doesn’t know what love is.
It felt pleasant that this would become her revenge against him. And…
‘Why isn’t he here yet?’
Dana looked at the clock.
Time flowed faster in reality. Before she knew it, a full three hours had passed.
Anxious irritation welled up.
What has he been doing for three whole hours?
Karl Windsor, that bad man—pretending to care for me with words while leaving me alone in this place for three hours?
Dana barely managed to stop her gaze from turning toward the bag again.
No, that’s something only subhumans would do. Let’s not even think about it.
‘Let’s not mind it. Let’s not mind it…’
A moment later, Dana discovered another book.
‘What kind of stuff does this man read?’
It was a book titled .
