Chapter 107: “Sowing Discord”

For one instant, Klein almost thought Vice Admiral Ailment Tracy would attack outright, because her face had already flushed from anger. Her blue eyes had darkened greatly, resembling the surface of the sea when a storm was about to arrive.

In the end, however, Tracy did not act rashly. She turned her head to look at Caterina Pelle, waiting for this Unaging Demoness to make the decision.

She knew very clearly that although Sequence 5 and Sequence 4 differed by only one rank, their essence was fundamentally different. The gap could no longer be bridged by tactics or performance. One belonged to extraordinary yet still normal humans, while the other had stepped into the domain of demigods. They were divine creatures—mythical creatures.

Moreover, the two people before her were clearly not merely Sequence 4. Standing before them, Tracy felt as though she herself had become a low-Sequence Beyonder.

The Unaging Demoness Caterina Pelle showed no anger. Looking at Klein, who wore Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilangos’s face, her eyes shimmered as she laughed softly.

“What an interesting young man. If Mr. Death Consul were not here, perhaps I would hide the vicissitudes within my heart, have a chance encounter with you, and begin a pure romance.”

No, you do not want that… That sounds terrifying… Klein did not dare look straight at her. He could only keep his gaze fixed on the Maiden of Sickness, Tracy.

Seeing that Azik Eggers showed no response, Caterina withdrew her gaze and spoke to Tracy in that beautiful, singing voice.

“Endure the torment of pain. Perhaps that will be a good thing for you.”

Then, holy and dignified, she looked toward Azik.

“I remember that batch of documents. They recorded the Balam royal family’s various attempts to resurrect Death. Unfortunately, they all seemed to fail. By the end, they appeared to be considering the creation of an artificial Death.

“Are you still interested?”

Artificial Death? How does one artificially create Death? Aside from the Uniqueness and Beyonder characteristics, how could there be any other method? It is not as if growing cabbages… Was the former Balam Empire mad? Is the current Numinous Episcopate mad too? Klein inwardly muttered a few lines, but he did not interrupt the conversation between the two half-god, half-human existences.

After two seconds of thought, Azik asked again, “What price must I pay?”

Caterina smiled with a youthfulness unsuited to her age.

“No, no price.

“After thinking it over carefully, helping you slowly recover your memories, regain the past, and once again become that Death Consul should be a rather interesting matter. It can bring more changes and more amusement to this world.”

That sounds like something a rebellious girl would say… Does the “unaging” of an Unaging Demoness refer not only to the body, but also to the mind? Klein found himself somewhat unable to grasp her way of thinking.

Perhaps one would need to be Sequence 6, Sequence 5, or even Sequence 4 of the Spectator pathway to understand it? he guessed subconsciously.

Azik nodded and extended his right hand outward. The papers and fountain pen in the room flew over on their own, as though invisible spirits were serving him.

He swiftly wrote something, then tossed the paper over.

“You may summon my messenger.”

So there is only one copper whistle… The fact that it has remained effective for more than a thousand years means that copper whistle truly is not simple… Klein instinctively wanted to reach out and touch Azik’s copper whistle in his pocket, but he forcibly held back.

The Unaging Demoness Caterina caught the paper, glanced at it, and smiled with pursed lips.

“I thought you would directly tell me where the underworld is.”

She lifted her head. Her blue eyes carried an indescribable gentleness as she said with a faint smile, “I still remember how powerful and cold Mr. Death Consul was back then. It left me with an extremely deep impression.

“I am…
