Demon Realm equaled Herder.
And Herder was naturally the enemy of Sirocco—one of the seven born as bearers of the apostle's power.
Sauron was often blinded by hatred.
Killing was just commonplace for her.
But Katie shook her head as she listened. Such a cute and beautiful little one—being manipulated by an apostle's breath was not good.
"It's better for me to save you. Sinking into dreams made by others for so long—there must be a day to wake up..."
Gentle light shrouded toward Sauron.
In a moment—
A harsh scream echoed through the forest.
Red Ghost Sauron.
A woman who had been manipulated by Sirocco's consciousness and lived in hatred—finally regained her short-term clarity with Katie's help.
Her mind was clear.
There was no more noise. No more terrible scene loops.
Everything was so comfortable. Everything was so peaceful.
"Now, do you feel more comfortable?"
Facing Katie's gentle smile, Sauron nodded weakly.
The experience just now had been terrifying.
So much so that her body was soft now.
"Although I don't know which apostle controls you, I can tell you one thing: I am not Herder. And the Demon Realm is not all under her control..."
"I... my name is Sauron. One of the seven people who gained Sirocco's power..."
Sirocco?
Rumor had it she'd been transferred to the world of Arad and eventually died?
It seemed that the power of apostles was immortal.
Sure enough—the apostles were transformed by energy left over from the gods of the past!
The two chatted for a while.
Only then did Sauron understand that Herder had gained stronger strength—but she had not accepted it because of her suspicion.
By mistake—
Katie and her group had taken the lead in gaining strength.
They wanted to change the world.
"So, will you kill me?"
By the warm campfire—
Sauron looked at the ground, not daring to look at the gentle elf magician.
If she killed herself, then Sirocco would be delayed in resurrection. Most people would definitely act.
And she was so weak right now.
But... Sauron received a warm piece of toast.
"Come and eat. Eat and drink your fill before you can go on the road. As for my sister—since I can seal the will of Sirocco in your body, I can always keep her sealed. Come on... Come and restore peace with me!"
"Sister Katie..."
Sauron cried.
She felt so touched.
Very emotional.
No one had ever cared about her so much.
The Violent Arrest Team had only gathered together because of Sirocco's energy.
Not out of her own will at all.
Don't think it was strange that the Scarlet Ghost Sauron could cry—it was because she had been living in Herder's dream all this time.
Just like Paris killing Louis—the latter would cry too.
No one wanted to be like this.
But Sirocco's power was too strong. Humans couldn't resist it at all.
What could she do?
The next day, the dazzling sunlight awakened Sauron.
The feeling of comfort was addictive.
"Morning, Sauron..."
"Morning, Sister Katie!"
Sauron smiled sweetly—not at all like the cold-blooded swordsman from yesterday.
Katie nodded in satisfaction.
She said to her: "Today I will teach you a divine magic. As long as you practice it, you won't have to be afraid of Sirocco. And I also have a lot of questions I want to ask this lady."
"What? You want to talk to Sirocco..."
Sauron was stunned. She had not expected Katie to have so much courage.
The apostles—in the eyes of the people of the Arad continent—
Were existences beyond God.
Katie smiled faintly and said proudly: "This is just a small fragment of Sirocco—not her at the height of her power. Don't be too scared..."
What realm her current strength had reached—
Even Katie didn't know herself.
But she had crossed from the Demon Realm to this planet without resorting to any external power.
She had simply passed through wherever she thought about!
This showed—
Katie's power had moved toward the category of apostles.
Although not as good as a true apostle—
With her current power, it was very simple to defeat fragments of Sirocco.
Although Sauron didn't want to be in contact with Sirocco, she still trusted Katie when she was so confident.
Afterward, she entered the mysterious meditation space based on the meditation thoughts in her mind.
Witness the gods and understand the heart.
Sauron gained real peace of mind here. At the same time, she completely escaped Sirocco's control—because her soul was sublimated under the shining light of stars.
And on the other side—
Katie took advantage of Sauron's meditation and injected her own thoughts into her mind.
It was so cold before her eyes.
In the corner of the empty spiritual world, a woman was curled up here.
She was like a seed.
Hiding here helplessly, with a very sad expression.
Everyone's understanding of Sirocco was that she was crazy. But who knew that she had been a seed at first?
Drifting for countless years in an icy environment.
Finally taking root and sprouting.
Finally continuing to take root in the Demon Realm—only to be calculated by Herder and transferred to the Screaming Cave.
Sirocco had lost all her power.
After finding herself in desperation again—
It was normal to go crazy.
She just wanted to live. And live better. But these simple wishes could not be realized.
Feeling the arrival of the intruder—
Sirocco slowly opened her eyes.
Dark purple energy tried to rush toward Katie—but was blocked by a layer of golden light.
"...It's you, preventing my resurrection. I will kill you..."
A manic voice—and the state of the black serpent.
Katie could not help but frown.
The apostle was irrational. Although she seemed to have the original seed, in truth she was not complete.
However, this also meant she could be taken away.
"Hey... I'm here to save you. Someone who can really save you..."
A soft light—
Appeared before Sirocco.
Katie had originally wanted to quiet Sirocco for a while. But she had not expected that after being exposed to the light—
She actually became quiet.
And staring at the light, there were twin lines of tears.
"This strength is so gentle..."
Just now, Sirocco—who had been about to tear herself apart—had such a fierce look. But now she had once again become her original female appearance.
This Sirocco was so obsessed with light.
That would make things easier.
"Do you want more light?"
"Mm-hmm..."
Sirocco nodded repeatedly. This kind of light was too beautiful. It made her more comfortable than all the lights she had ever seen.
Katie smiled like a fox when she saw her being so obedient.
"Since you want the light of God, then you have to abandon your fierce appearance. Otherwise... the light of God will be dimmed..."
