“Is the information that those people have the box reliable?”
“Not sure, but it can’t be false. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so desperate to overturn the world. They must have some backing.”
Even if those people had backing, their strongest forces in the Dimensional Sea would only be peak Dragon-level dimensional beasts.
That alone isn’t enough to overturn the order.
If they had an alliance of hundreds of Dragon-level dimensional beasts, that would be another matter—but that’s unlikely.
So, those people either have a national-level power backing them, or they possess ancient artifacts, possibly even the box itself, giving their plan a chance of success.
“You know how formidable the power of ancient artifacts is.”
Yue said to Luoyou, “The Third Ancient Artifact, also called the Divine Particle, you don’t possess all of the Divine Particles, but what you have already gives you the influence to affect decisions at a national level. If the other side possesses an ancient artifact… not to say they can surpass you, but how much power they can wield depends on the person. Regardless, it will definitely cause great turmoil.”
Luoyou lowered her gaze.
If the other side indeed had an ancient artifact, then they truly earned the right to be her equal in dialogue.
Moreover, the Divine Particles she carried were not yet complete.
“Erella, you need to be careful. The other side has intel on the box, and rumor has it that the Divine Particle is the key to unlocking the box. That means they will definitely make a move against you.”
Luoyou wasn’t so easily fooled.
Pointing at Yue, she said, “In the end, you want me to return to the organization, expand the influence of the Dimensional Beings Organization, and then start regaining control over the situation, right?”
“Haha, exactly.”
Yue spread her hands and smiled confidently.
“Without you, the organization really struggled to move forward. Although things have improved a bit since the Fusion Warriors appeared, it’s still far from where it was seven years ago. Under these circumstances, the organization could only take one step at a time, no longer able to charge forward recklessly, three steps at once like before.”
After speaking frankly, she earnestly persuaded, “So, how about it? Coming back now would do you no harm at all. I heard that you changed your method of hunting Magical Girls, right? Now it’s a competition where the victor decides everything. That means even if you return to the organization, you can still freely enjoy yourself with the Magical Girls without being bound by any stance. How about that?”
…Luoyou only thought for a few seconds before reaching her conclusion.
“No thanks.”
“Why?”
“Well~ even though I’m rejecting you, the level of cooperation can still improve a bit.”
A slight smile curled at Luoyou’s lips as she held up two fingers.
“If our cooperation was 20% before, now it can be around 60%.”
“Huh?”
Yue’s lips also curved upward as she asked, “Can I take that to mean you can handle more than half of the organization’s troubles?”
“Not exactly, it depends on my mood. But yes, you can definitely act freely now.”
That was still a huge support.
The biggest problem the Dimensional Beings Organization faced right now was that many things were difficult to tackle, forcing them to move cautiously.
But with Errella’s promise, although they couldn’t quite charge forward three steps at once like before, at least they could move two steps at a time.
There was no need to announce to the outside world that Errella frequently helped the organization deal with trouble.
This act itself sent a signal to the outside, announcing that the prestige of the Dimensional Beings Organization was starting to return.
However, Yue was not blindly optimistic.
She understood that to motivate Errella, the organization’s actions must align with Errella’s own intentions.
“Tell me what you want. Do you want to find those people and take control of the box’s information, or do you want to join them and start redistributing the world? Or if you have your own ideas, you can share them too.”
“Hmm… well.”
Luoyou hesitated.
She did have ideas, but she wasn’t sure if they were correct.
“Well, as long as it doesn’t affect my current life too much, and if there are benefits to gain, I’ll take them. As for those people, if possible, just wipe them out so they stop constantly targeting me.”
“Alright, then I’ll agree to join them.”
Yue’s answer didn’t surprise Luoyou.
Turning the question back to Yue’s earlier near-assassination—
Who wanted to kill the leader of the Dimensional Beings Organization?
Was it a national government? Or a third party force?
On the surface, it seemed more likely to be the government, but it should be from within “those people.”
They were trying to recruit multiple powers—both the Tidechasers and the Dimensional Beings Organization, and possibly some national powers as well.
Among those already recruited, there were probably some who didn’t get along well with the Dimensional Beings Organization, or who worried that if the organization joined in, they would get a smaller share of the spoils. Motives aplenty.
The reason for repeatedly calling them “those people” was because they weren’t a unified organization—just a group dividing spoils after the war.
The true enemy was the real organizer behind the scenes, an unknown power.
Once the Dimensional Beings Organization joined in, it would surely occupy a core position and then trace the thread back to find the mastermind.
Although it definitely wouldn’t be easy.
“Well, I’m leaving now.”
“Alright, take care… oh, there are a few things I want you to do. Don’t mind them—they’re just small matters for you.”
“Tch.”
Luoyou took the dossier Yue handed over. It listed several key points.
As Yue said, these were trivial to her, but all quite conspicuous—this was a signal to the outside world announcing the renewed close cooperation between the Dimensional Beings Organization and Errella.
If they didn’t do this, as soon as the organization showed signs of joining those people, the government would immediately begin a purge, causing the fledgling enterprise to collapse halfway.
“Hmm… what about the Broken Wing Butterfly?”
Luoyou pouted.
“Well, just handle it casually.”
After all, Luoyou had never expected a bunch of Magical Girls to carry out such delicate affairs.
Capturing a few little brats was their limit.
She descended to the second floor, paused for a moment, then deviated from the path to the main entrance and headed toward the balcony outside.
“Ohoho~ this faint milky scent in the air… is that Manjusaka?”
“大 sister, it’s fine if you don’t come out. I’ve long known you’re setting things up in Panyin City and have even brought a batch of rookies from the Nine Abyss Sea. Sister, what exactly are you planning? You can tell me~”
No response.
It looked like the Aurora Witch had been caught by a vengeful woman, to the point of losing her mind and talking to herself.
“Sister, if you don’t say anything, then I’ll do things my own way.”
Luoyou shrugged, sent a reminder message to Yue, then left at a speed that Manjusaka could never catch.
“Eh!?”
Lu Zining’s jaw dropped when she heard the news from Broken Wing Butterfly.
“Don’t be so loud, watch your image.”
“Uh—! Sorry.”
“The situation is exactly as I said. Many powers have contacted the Mistress, and I’ve listened to them all, but no fish has taken the bait.”
