The gray-white world returned once again.
This time, it was even more unstoppable. In this frozen world, Orm seemed to see the entire sea ignited by gray-black flames.
"Dear child, please allow me to express my sorrow to you."
"However, I said it long ago."
The Ouroboros bracelet transformed into a bloated, thick python, adorned with gray-black flames, coiling around Orm.
"People always fail to see the followers of glory."
"Others do, and so did your parents."
"Therefore, this world is twisted and morbid, prejudiced and insane."
The python's head touched Orm's head, its gray-black eyes seeming to see into the depths of Orm's soul.
"Dear child, at this moment, I have many, many grand ideals I want to share with you."
"About family, about the world, about glory…"
"But after thinking it over, I still intend to talk to you about jealousy."
The python's voice was hoarse, carrying a strange, bewitching power.
Gills that shouldn't belong to a python appeared on its neck…
"Once jealousy appears, it is like a maggot attached to a bone. It will not dissipate with satisfaction but will only grow with greed until it devours all reason and peace."
"But child, you need jealousy, you should be jealous!"
Hazy light transformed into ribbons from the python's eyes, unknowingly flowing into Orm's heart.
A flame was frantically growing there.
"Jealousy will give you unprecedented power, allowing you to possess unprecedented glory."
"Because of jealousy, you will become stronger; because of jealousy, you will surpass everything."
"Jealousy is the most wonderful emotion in this world, but life, because of the hypocrisy hidden deep within the heart, is unwilling to admit its greatness."
"What about you, child?"
The python straightened up, looking down at Orm from above.
"Are you jealous?"
"Are you jealous that your parents are proud of Neptune, jealous of the clan's trust in Neptune, jealous of Neptune's strength and glory?"
"Find the answer in the depths of your heart."
The python gazed meaningfully at Orm.
"Will you continue to be hypocritical like the commoners, or will you suddenly awaken and embrace the jealousy that can make you stronger?"
"Will you continue to bow your head and be Neptune's shadow, accepting the light that spills from him?"
"Or will you surpass him, making that glory a feat that belongs solely to you?"
"Answer me with your heart."
Orm closed his eyes.
The flame in his chest burned even more frantically and distortedly.
The worm-like fine lines on his wrist also began to climb step by step, reaching for his heart.
Everything from the past echoed in his ears.
Only now, under the burning of that flame, did Orm erase the dark clouds in his heart and see himself clearly.
He was jealous of everything Neptune possessed!
He didn't want to continue playing the shadow that set off Neptune!
His parents' first praise, the elders' first approval, the clan's first trust…
"I've had enough!"
Orm clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot.
Veins popped out on his neck as he roared.
"Neptune! Neptune! Neptune!"
"Why is it that in everyone's eyes, he is always stronger than me?"
"Is my hard work a joke?"
"The blood I shed for the merfolk! The sweat I poured for the merfolk! Why has it all become a foil for his achievements!"
"Everything I should have had, why must his glory be engraved on it!"
The python approached Orm, sniffing the fire of jealousy rising from him.
"Yes! That's right!"
A human-like greed appeared on the python's face.
Taking a deep breath, it suppressed the desire to swallow this gradually maturing dessert in one bite.
The python whispered:
"So, dear child, give me your desire."
Orm suddenly raised his head, his scarlet eyes staring at the python.
"I don't care what you are! Tell me, how can I get everything I deserve!"
"That's difficult, dear child."
The python smiled silently.
"We are powerless against the distortion and morbidity of the world; the world has always been like this."
"Its narrow vision prevents life from seeing the followers."
"Therefore, what you need is not to follow but to pioneer."
The python's voice became more and more seductive, but Orm, now, could no longer hear it at all.
The flames of jealousy were about to devour him.
"Dear child, you need a great and sacred change!"
"Be a pioneer, purify the morbid truth of this world, and correct the distorted perception of life."
"I swear to you that the glory that belongs to you will eventually embrace you at the end of this change."
Orm's chest heaved unevenly, panting like a broken bellows.
After a long time, he said in a deep voice:
"What should I do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the python quickly sank down, staring straight at Orm, its tone slightly hurried.
"Start with the merfolk… Surpass your brother and do the great deeds he has never done! For example…"
"Gain the recognition of the Holy Moon Ring! Make the Holy Moon Ring submit to you!"
At this moment, it was as if a huge bell exploded in Orm's heart.
The flames of jealousy were quickly suppressed.
But the python would not let go of this opportunity.
The gray-black flames on its body grew wildly, and the worm threads on Orm's arm struggled to continue grabbing towards his heart.
"Think about it, dear child."
"Over the years, who in the merfolk has ever accomplished such a great feat?"
"If you succeed, you will be the number one person in the history of the merfolk, the patriarch recognized by all merfolk."
"You will be an uncrowned king!"
"Even Neptune will have to bow to you."
"As long as you get the recognition of the Holy Moon Ring, you no longer need to prove yourself."
"Everyone will offer you praise."
"What Neptune has, and what Neptune doesn't have, you will have it all."
"Even, you will become a being like the Dragon Emperor and the Elf Queen, leading the merfolk to become a great race standing at the top of the Continent of Rhode."
"At that time, your glory will be undeniable!"
These words instantly broke Orm's heart, and the worm threads seized the opportunity to rush into his heart.
But Orm, at this moment, calmed down instead.
In the silence, Orm's voice was hoarse and frantic.
"What should I do?"
"Relax, my child."
The python retracted all the flames on its body, grinning silently.
“All you need is… a little bit of trust.”
Aum stared directly into the giant serpent's eyes, and said quietly:
“Can I trust you?”
“Of course, you can trust me.”
The giant serpent collapsed along with this gray-black world, leaving only a faint voice drifting into Aum's ears.
“The virtue I value most, first is jealousy, second…”
“Is commitment!”

…
The top floor of the Twilight Forest Wizard Tower.
A fierce battle is taking place here.
The enemy is only one person, a lich wearing a crown.
And as the lich's opponents.
Archmage Lily Eiss, Archmage Locke, Saint-Ring Magister Fishley…
Heroic Knights Khalifa, Layal, Uriel, Haniya…
Not only that, but there are fifty angels flying in the sky, all elite knights at the very least.
Fifty powerful elves are arranged in all directions.
Ian and Resia were chatting and laughing not far away, commenting on Lily Eiss and the others' battle.
They didn't seem worried at all.
He told Lily Eiss and the others all about the lich's attack mechanism and three stages of combat style.
With Lily Eiss and the others' explosive combat experience and strength, dealing with the lich was not difficult at all.
If it weren't for the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the effects of the newly obtained staff and practice controlling and coordinating with the staff.
The lich would have died more than a dozen times by now.
After all, although this guy is powerful, his health is not high, and his mobility is not worth mentioning compared to Lily Eiss and the others.
So, even though Lily Eiss and the others have tried their best to lighten their attack intensity and efficiency.
The lich is still being bullied to the point of opening the third stage.
But for Lily Eiss and the others, the lich in this stage is not as threatening as the previous two stages.
Although the lich can teleport sometimes, this thing itself has basically zero combat skills, and it has no sanity. It's terribly rigid.
Once the third stage is opened, it abandons the advantage of magic and instead swings the golden sword and rushes forward to start close combat.
In response, Lily Eiss could only comment, "Brainless," and then withdrew from the battle with little interest.
A lich playing close combat, although it can teleport, Lily Eiss still has countless ways to kill it in one move.
At this point, there is basically no need to continue.
The so-called berserk mode in the third stage, in their opinion, is more like being ashamed into anger.
The lich has already lost its role as a sparring partner.
Gradually, Layal and Fishley also withdrew from the battle.
Only Khalifa was left on the field, using the lich to hone herself.
Teleportation, a spatial magic, sounds powerful, but in reality, it is still difficult to coordinate with her knight's combat skills.
Coincidentally, the lich just happened to know how to teleport.
For Khalifa, this guy is a good opponent to learn from.
The lich teleports, and Khalifa also teleports.
For a time, the battlefield was like a network lagging and dropping frames, and the frequency of flashing became faster and faster.
Soon after, considering that Ian should not be kept waiting for too long, Khalifa teleported behind the lich and beheaded it with a sword.
For the lich, it was also a kind of relief.
This battle was completely Lily Eiss and the others' abuse of the lich.
The lich exploded with dazzling light and shattered and disappeared.
In place, there was only a staff inlaid with dark red gems, two ender pearls, bones, a golden sword, and spoils.
As well as an inexplicable scroll.
Khalifa didn't observe much, picked up all the resources and quickly walked to Ian and presented them to him.
“Your Holiness, the lich's resources have been hunted, please take a look.”
“You have worked hard.”
Ian said with a smile, and the next moment, he saw a smile appear on the face of this well-known ice beauty in the elf clan.
“Bringing victory to Your Holiness is the glory I pursue in my life!”
Ian smiled, and since giving Khalifa this staff, Khalifa has become much more cheerful, not to mention that Ian has also felt Khalifa's increasingly fanatical faith.
He casually handed the ender pearls and other resources to Layal, thought for a while, and handed the bone meal to Lily Eiss.
Immediately, Lily Eiss showed a satisfied smile and carefully put away the bone meal.
“Thank you, Your Holiness!”
For Lily Eiss, bone meal is still one of the best gifts Ian has given her.
With these bone meal, she can plant a few more trees!
After all, the elves who were recently criticized have been banned from using the church's bone meal resources to cultivate plants.
Only the bone meal that Ian gives them can they legally use.
“Your Holiness, what is the attribute of this staff? I have never seen it before.”
Resia approached Ian, curiously looking at the dark red staff in Ian's hand.
Red, in theory, should be a fire attribute staff.
But this staff did not give her the feeling of fire, but it was a bit gloomy.
“This staff is not the type of staff we use. It is a scepter dropped by the lich, which houses one of the lich's abilities.”
Ian shook the scepter in his hand with a smile, thought for a moment, and looked at everyone and said:
“Do you remember the magic that King Bilka finally became a bloodline mind flayer used?”
“I can't forget it!”
Markov and Uriel nodded decisively, curled their lips, and Markov said:
“That dirty bloodline magic… It also sacrificed 70,000 elite troops of the royal capital in one breath. It's hard to forget.”
After saying that, even Markov, who was a bit simple-minded, reacted.
In an instant, a hint of strangeness appeared on his face like everyone else.
“So this staff…”
Ian nodded with a smile.
“Vampiric Scepter, by absorbing the life force of other creatures, it restores its own life force, magic power, and physical strength.”
“It can be regarded as a rather brutal method.”
As soon as the words fell, there was a long silence here. After a long time, Lily Eiss looked at Ian with a complicated expression.
“It is undeniable that the ability of the Vampiric Scepter is very practical, but…”
“Your Holiness, why does the great Dawn Heaven Kingdom also have this magic used by demons?”
