That’s really strange.
Clearly, I’m indoors, yet why do I feel a piercing cold wind?
Is the prison drafty?
I can’t shake the feeling of a chill down my back... Why is that?
"Hm."
"Ha!"
Herbert heard so familiar noises behind him and swallowed his saliva nervously.
This... uh.
With both arms wrapped tightly around the still chaotic Fallen Angel, he resisted the urge to turn around, silently reassuring himself:
"...Maybe it’s just the wind."
Yeah, maybe.
Even though there’s a clear sense of malice behind , as long as I don’t look back, nothing will happen.
Right, if I don’t see it, it doesn’t exist!
Unfortunately, Herbert wanted to escape from reality, but a certain Harmonious God had no intention of letting that happen so easily.
["What wind? Are you just lying to yourself?"]
With ill intentions, Nenasha poked her head out, very considerately inquiring:
["Oh dear! If it’s inconvenient for you to turn around, do you need to reveal the real situation to you?"]
["Can you guess who’s here now? Let give you a hint!"]
The Harmonious God cleared their throat deliberately, using the sa grand tone as when gods give divine decrees in epic tales, gently echoing in Herbert’s ears.
["One’s flying in the sky, one’s swimming in the water, together they only have two legs~ Heehee."]
["Can you guess it? Is it a bit too hard? Shall I give you another hint?"]
["For instance, they’re both really affectionate with you~ Haha!"]
["Who could it be? Such a tough guess!"]
Herbert’s increasingly panicked emotions were successfully turned into annoyance by Nenasha’s irritating whispers reverberating at an astonishing speed around his ears.
Annoying.
This guy... huh.
"Tsk."
You damn mischievous god, you’re just here to laugh at , aren’t you!
Herbert was very angry and wanted to engage in an impassioned argunt with Nenasha.
But obviously, now wasn’t the right ti.
Moreover, the critical question now was how those two managed to appear here!?
Herbert didn’t understand.
This was flipped.
A kept man devouring his master... ah, that’s not it.
It’s the Haki Dragon and Haki Shark who’ve broken out!
No, how the heck did you two appear here?
This, this isn’t right, is it?
In the original script, weren’t you two supposed to be locked in fierce combat right now?
Even if not fighting, you should be resting peacefully in the Endless Maze.
How did you get here?
The control of the Third Commandnt Hall is still in Herbert’s hands, and the Sealing Array hasn’t failed... How did they cross regions to reach here?
Is there an issue with the Teleportation Gate?
So many questions, but with ti pressing, there was no spare mont to think.
Herbert couldn’t keep pretending, he had to co up with a solution before everything burst into chaos.
["Do you need my help?"]
"Help? How can you help?" Herbert squinted warily.
Would you be so kind?
Why do I find that so hard to believe?
["Of course! Since you’re unwilling to do it yourself, let help you turn around and say sothing like ’Hey! You ca too! Why are you here disturbing us?’~"]
["I guarantee once you’ve said that, they’d definitely leave obediently~ Without you even needing to rush them."]
"...Heh!"
You damn!
Herbert couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
You’re insane!
Adding fuel to the fire, are you?
Maybe it wouldn’t have been much, but you insist on making it a big deal, don’t you?
You mischievous god, your heart is truly venomous!
"No, no need, I’ve already got a plan."
Just now, Herbert had already thought of a makeshift solution that "cures the symptoms but not the disease."
Phew...
Herbert let out a gentle breath, then his gaze turned firm.
Though not the best solution, this is the best I can do under the circumstances.
"Luhier, don’t worry, your current state isn’t your fault."
Without turning his head, he continued looking deeply at Luhier as if he hadn’t noticed anything, saying softly:
"You’re just lost, but as long as you trust , I’ll definitely help you."
Herbert’s words were not only ant to comfort the confused Fallen Angel but also as a deliberate "comntary" for the present audience.
You two, stay calm, listen carefully. I have my reasons for this.
You have to believe in !
While performing, he also divided his attention to manipulate the authority of the Disciplinary Hall.
The authority over the Aurora Sanctuary’s Sealing Array was originally occupied by Luhier. With her special status, she blocked the path to the next level with her formidable power, obstructing Herbert’s passage.
But she was now in chaos, lacking firm control over the Array, which allowed Herbert to seize the opportunity and reclaim most of it.
However, Herbert didn’t intend to use this chance to ditch the "jealous duo" and flee to the sixth floor for shelter.
That wasn’t realistic.
The Monster Girls on the fifth floor already possess an Epic level of power, unlikely to be lower on subsequent floors, which he couldn’t handle safely now.
Herbert’s real purpose in seizing authority was singular—to solve the problem.
Since the Chaotic Scene issue couldn’t be resolved,
then solve the individuals causing the Chaotic Scene issue!
"Herbert, you must give an expla... huh?"
Just as Valentina was pouting, ready to hold Herbert accountable, her ears suddenly twitched.
Click.
Without any warning, an open Teleportation Gate appeared beneath her feet.
Appearing so suddenly, the average person couldn’t react in ti and could only helplessly succumb to gravity, falling—this event is likewise docunted in a certain superhero movie where hamrs are swung.
