Chapter 473: D173. Not observing the commandments_3
“My abilities are the same as yours; what I can think of, you can understand. But if you still haven’t figured it out, that proves you’re undoubtedly an idiot.”
“Alright, alright, no need for violence. Let’s talk this through. I won’t call you an idiot anymore, but you should understand, you’re just as incapable of dealing with her as I am.”
“To understand why she’s turned into this wretched state, we can only rely on the opposite existence – that is, me.”
“How interesting. Compared to your ineffective struggles, the power that has corrupted this woman so thoroughly is much more threatening, for both of us.”
“That’s right, so—”
The Hero opened her eyes, her crimson pupils playfully sizing up the Innocent opposite her.
“Let’s see what you’re really about—”
[The Innocent’s attitude changes (1-50 worsens, 51-90 remains the same, 91-100 improves)]
D100=d100(91)=91
Although she temporarily handed over control of her body to her depraved self, the Hero still maintained clear willpower, as if in a lucid dream, ready to awaken at any moment and regain control of her body.
However, even though she was persuaded by this freak to hand over control, the Hero was still half-convinced.
“Can I really trust this guy?”
The Hero connected one end of her thread of consciousness to the folded Ankle Ring, ready to deploy her Armor immediately and kick off her depraved self if anything went wrong,
Then, she quietly waited for the situation to unfold.
Aware of the Hero’s guard and doubt, despite sharing most of their knowledge, it didn’t stop the Depraved Hero from sneering secretly.
“Such ignorance.”
According to the descriptions of the Interrogators, the birth of the Innocent personality is shrouded in mystery, an existence that has stumped even these experts in psychic realms.
The Hero listened intently to their narratives and approached the Innocent with utmost caution.
But this guy, didn’t she realize that she has another personality on her own that has left those Judges at a loss?
“Though the process is unclear, it’s mostly likely empowered by the Ancient Dragon Level abilities and is incomplete, with a clear hierarchy between it and the main personality.”
The birth of the Depraved Hero, although fraught with difficulties, could not be summarized without two core points: the last curse of the Corrupted Phoenix, and the enhancement by the Demon King Level Devouring Curse Demon just before death.
Not only does she share most knowledge and memories with the main personality, but she can also take direct control of the body, in stark contrast to the Innocent across from her, who is clueless and set up as a scapegoat by the main personality, a clear difference in status can be discerned.
Yet, the creation of an entity like the Innocent also proves that the Black Gate has found a power that transcends the Fantasy Species Level in the Ancient Royal City, arousing a bit of curiosity within the Hero.
But with her own strength not yet legendary, even by stretching her Transformation to its limits she couldn’t discover the truth.
However, now the person opposite her is a prisoner, and she is the Judge, so naturally there is plenty of time to try out her theories.

“Hehe…”
The Celestial Scales tipped, giving the correct tilt, drawing a shallow laughter from the enchanting Witch. Her blood-red eyes seemed like the Sun dyed red. Merely under that gaze, one’s mouth dried up, and the heart began to pound rapidly like a drum.
One couldn’t stand upright in front of this maiden, with trembling legs like those of a newborn fawn, betraying an intense desire to kneel at the hem of her skirt, to prostrate at her feet.
“Blur the images, or your mind will be taken!”
Noticing the disturbance in the monitoring room, which should have been under Isolation, the stunning girl raised her eyelashes like a child who had successfully played a prank, unfurling a mischievous smile that made the Innocent involuntarily clutch at her front, unable to calm the fluttering heartbeat beneath.
Then the Hero stood up, gently grasped the Innocent’s chin, gently forcing her to raise her head, and then bent down slightly, foreheads touching.
The almost entirely captured Innocent put up no resistance.
“Hmm, seems like the effect isn’t bad, so let’s wrap this up quickly.”
The Hero lowered her forehead, touching the blushing face of the Innocent, foreheads aligned, cherry lips slightly parted.
[Hero activates Skill: Innocence (default success)]
“I like people who are frank with me, so don’t refuse, come, open up your heart…”
The sweet breath exhaled from lips Inches Away blanked the Innocent’s gaze instantly.
Immediately afterward, the Hero’s spiritual power rushed out without hesitation, probing into it.
Although this woman spoke in cryptic ways, the Hero had already roughly guessed the truth.
It was nothing more than some bizarre entity sealed at the center of the Ancient Royal City, and the Black Gate had borrowed some power from the sealing’s cracks.
As a curse inheritance of the Corrupted Phoenix, by putting herself in their shoes, the Depraved Hero saw through everything.
Even if this power came from a being that might rival the Corrupted Phoenix, this was the Border, almost an entire Kingdom away from the Ancient Royal City in the Western Realm, and they were currently in the Church’s underground, protected by layers of defenses.
What a joke, could a sealed entity really interfere across nations? Even thinking with the feathers on one’s butt would tell you that’s impossible.
What’s there to hesitate about then?
She wouldn’t be like an idiot, timid and tentative!
Confident, the young girl unleashed a powerful spirit, only to slam head-on into a space mark in the depths of the Innocent’s consciousness.
“Let me see what kind—”

“…” The Depraved Hero fell into silence all at once.
“Are they crazy, have humans recently learned to carve Transmission Arrays in their Conscious Sea, not afraid of their brains rotting?”
Extremely intricate, the Array tracing the flow in the Conscious Sea, automatically unfolded due to the external impact, forming a spiritual transmission channel.
The distance across the Kingdom closed in an instant, vanished, and then gigantic wings that blocked out the sky slowly unfurled at the end of the channel.
