[Calila’s innate ability, blocks all scouting spells, conceals her own appearance.]

The protection gifted by Calila became a permanent trait when it reached her.

Lanci could not discover it, and neither could she herself.

But to others, her face became unrecognizable.

"Is it really Calila that I am impersonating in this Shadow World?"

Talia asked Lanci with doubts.

After arriving in this Shadow World, as a Challenger, she could see the same Shadow World information as Lanci, but she seemed more like a ghost accompanying Lanci rather than a physical entity.

"Highly likely in real history, this is the Life Soul Origin that Calila left for Lankros, with the power of Gentle Town by her side. Lankros could occasionally see her illusions and use the spells she gave to Lankros, a degraded version of [Fallen Wonderland]."

From the second Shadow World, Lanci realized that every time a companion of the Black Sun Lord died, he would have more relics on him.

In the original history, at the age of 49, Lankros, administering the Holy Spirit Land Sect’s religious authority, likely possessed the Power of Faith and had broken through to the Ninth Order.

The once Eighth Order Black Sun Lankros could single-handedly defeat Tenth Ancestor Marquis Ulysses.

The Ninth Order Pope Lankros was probably unmatched by any creature of his time.

The strength of Black Sun Lankros, aside from his own tenacious will and steel-hardened spirit, also stemmed from the continuous accumulation of his deceased friends’ willingly given powers.

"Siegler probably also thought Calila had died. In the past twelve years, she spent a lot of time in the Demon King’s Castle under Calila’s protection, but six years ago a misfortune nearly caused Calila’s death in battle. After witnessing all this, Siegler, who was taken back to the Polante Empire, never saw Calila again. Her feelings for Calila..."

Lanci did not continue.

Some feelings are hard to convey through words and are only understood through sentiment; he believed that Talia could now understand. She might not quite grasp romantic love, but she surely understood familial love.

All this was what he had seen in the illusions in the Throne Hall just now.

"..."

"Of course! Calila, you are the best woman in the world."

Siegler hugged her a bit tighter, afraid that this warm Calila might disappear from her life like waking from a dream.

This time she was so lucid, it should not be a dream.

"If you want to hug, just hug."

Talia gave up resisting and said softly.

It had been a long time since anyone had complimented her like this.

After getting used to someone like Lanci who respected her the least, Siegler in her eyes was like a little angel, her voice more beautiful than anything.

She had heard from Hyperion about the adorable Siegler, and now, seeing her for herself, even though Siegler had grown up a lot, Talia still had to agree with Hyperion’s words—Siegler was overly lovable.

And per Lanci’s words, Siegler’s feelings toward Lanci were very pure.

Just like the closeness and longing she showed now.

She didn’t need to worry about this child having any inappropriate thoughts about Lanci; it was Talia who had overthought.

At the side of the Holy Temple.

"I told you they’d get along."

Lanci, hands in his pockets, let out a sigh of relief and smiled contentedly, speaking to the shadow at his feet.

Talia, with her overwhelming maternal instincts refined by time, could not resist a sincere child like Siegler.

The journey this time would likely have smooth sailing.

"Meow."

The shadow revealed Cat Boss poking its head out.

It remembered Lanci previously saying, if Hyperion and Siegler were to fight, he would eat the couch outright.

So, taking known "Siegler gets along well with Hyperion" and adding "Talia gets along well with Hyperion," it follows that "Siegler also gets along well with Talia."

Lanci’s formula was flawless.

Yet, it felt like Lanci was downright inviting disaster.
