When we arrived at Paradise Bridge, the sun was already high in the sky.

Ariel assigned me a room and allowed me to move around freely if I wanted. Thanks to this, I was not detained and the room door could be opened wide at any time.

‘You’re full of confidence.’

What on earth is Ariel’s plan?

What can he do with Daisy that makes him so confident that he can become the ruler of all things in the world?

Of course, since Daisy’s voice is an irresistible instant weapon, it can be used as a quite threatening ‘weapon’. But that alone is not enough to rule the world.

If you just cover your ears right now, it’s over.

‘Do you know how to awaken Daisy’s powers?’

Regardless of how she knows such a thing, it is understandable why Ariel is so confident if she can awaken Daisy.

It is unclear how strong that power will be.

‘Even if you sit down and think about it, you won’t come up with an answer.’

If you walk around Paradise Bridge, you might be able to find out something.

With that thought in mind, I walked out of the room.

“How… . There’s nothing that special.”

After wandering around for a few hours, Paradise Church seemed not much different from any other religious organization.

The difference is that the believers all act like obsessive-compulsive patients, but this is because they are under the control of Ariel.

‘I don’t see anything related to Daisy in particular. ‘I don’t even know where Daisy is in the first place.’

I clearly remember Gordon mentioning ‘sacrifice’ before being kidnapped.

If it’s an offering, is there some kind of ritual?

It’s a pseudo-religion, but I don’t know if it’s possible to awaken Daisy that way.

‘I think it’s possible because it’s fantasy… .’

Why does this stupid game go as fantasy at all when it comes to fantasy, or why do they mix it so vaguely that it confuses people.

‘Rather than that, wasn’t the goal of Paradise Church to open the gates of paradise?’

Mariela said, the paradise spoken of in the Church of Paradise coincides with the hell spoken of in the Church of the Virgin Mary.

Therefore, the goal of Paradise Church is to destroy humanity by opening the gates of hell on earth.

Is there a connection between Daisy’s awakening and the Gates of Hell?

To have a headache.

No matter how much I thought about it, it was ultimately uncharted territory.

You have no choice but to experience it yourself.

While walking around the Paradise Bridge building, I found a suspicious place.

‘Is this a basement?’

I wanted to go in, but I couldn’t because believers were guarding the entrance.

“I got permission from Ariel to move around freely?”

“……”

Even when Ariel was mentioned, the believers had no intention of getting out of the way.

No, they may be guarding the entrance without even thinking about it in the first place.

‘It’s not that Ariel forgot, it’s that she doesn’t want to show me, right?’

The reason the ground floor was relatively intact seems to be because all the secrets were buried underground.

‘How do I get in there?’

If the men guarding the entrance were women, they would have been able to take advantage of the angle, but since they are strong men, it is completely impossible to break through physically.

Moreover, the believers are completely controlled, so negotiation and persuasion are not effective. I have no intention of doing it, but of course it wouldn’t work in the beauty world either.

I wanted to look for another entrance, but since this was my first time seeing the building and I wasn’t Vir, I didn’t have the ability to find one.

I’m embarrassed.

I realized once again that I am completely incompetent when there is no heroine or management agency.

“Fuck.”

The curse words I spat were meaninglessly scattered in the air.

You said you would follow the plan, but you didn’t end up just ignoring it without knowing anything, right?

Given his current state of incompetence, it seemed likely that that dream would become a reality.

okay.

Let’s think about it.

My head is the only weapon I have.

Actually, my brain isn’t all that great, but I’m good enough at this game, so I’m sure they’ll find a way.

I kept walking with my head moving, and before I knew it, I had almost reached my room.

Naturally, there were no bright ideas.

‘He’s an ugly guy who can’t do anything on his own. A pillar of strength who only gains strength when surrounded by the width of women’s skirts.’

While I was blaming myself, I saw a female believer standing in front of the door holding food.

‘I was hungry at the time, so it’s good.’

When you’re hungry, your head doesn’t work properly.

The reason I couldn’t come up with a bright idea was probably because I was hungry.

Making excuses, I opened the door and entered the room with Shindo.

Shindo placed the food tray on the table set up in the room and went to the door.

But instead of going out, I closed the door and locked it.

‘what? Shit, I suddenly feel anxious.’

Could it be that sexual desire still remains even when under Ariel’s control?

The female disciple smiled slightly when she saw me.

Then he carefully placed a note on the table.

‘….Vishka?’

What was written on the note was one word, ‘Vishka.’

Vishka is Veronica’s mother’s name.

The only ones who know this name are me, Veronica, and her alter egos.

In other words, the goddess in front of you is Veronica’s alter ego.

‘I expected it to be there, but… . ‘I never thought it would really exist.’

Veronica’s alter ego has infiltrated wherever information is likely to be found in the empire.

I realized the meaning of those words again through the self-immolation before my eyes.

The clone put down another note.

The time and place were written on the note.

Of course, it means to come to the indicated location at that time.

‘Why are you talking in writing…? . ‘Is this room being monitored?’

In fact, it’s even weirder not to be watched.

I nodded towards the clone.

The clone winked at me and then went out.

‘…After all, I am a pillar of the West.’

After crumpling the note in my pocket, I lay down on the bed.

Ariel took control of the Bureau.

It was probably thanks to Gordon that I was able to escape from the isolation room.

That damn special knight, you faked your hatred for Ariel.

In any case, Gordon must have been certain that Ariel was in the Bureau.

In fact, since Ariel has disappeared, there is no choice but to be suspicious of the management bureau.

An express driver can freely enter the special detention center where gift criminals are imprisoned, so the only place he cannot check is the Management Bureau.

So, I secretly broke in at dawn, searched through the pixies’ information, and found a report about Ariel, which led to the rescue.

Ariel escaped the isolation room and immediately began taking control of the management bureau.

Ariel’s only weakness, her lack of force, was made up for by the strongest power called Gordan, so there would have been nothing to hesitate about.

Afterwards, Ariel would have found out about Daisy by looking at the pixies’ information.

By asking the staff, I would have found out that Daisy usually stays at my house.

‘Did Ariel really leave Banshee alone in the process?’

Banshee’s report in the archives contains only limited information.

For example, Veronica is written as Banshee’s daughter, not Banshee’s main body, and it is not written about how Banshee’s information network works.

However, it is clearly written that she is the Empire’s best intelligence merchant, and this alone would have made Banshee a high-class slave candidate worthy of Ariel’s attention.

As a bonus, since he looks outstanding, he must have attracted more attention.

Is Veronica truly immune to Ariel’s control?

Veronica does not have any particular brain abnormalities, nor does she have strong enough beliefs to recognize the contradictions in the situation in which she is dominated.

However, it’s not like he has a ‘skill’ like me that gives him complete immunity to mental attacks.

It is reasonable to say that Veronica was dominated by Ariel.

‘If Veronica is dominated, it’s no different than all her clones being dominated.’

In other words, it is very likely that this request for a secret meeting is a trap.

‘For what purpose was the trap dug?’

Anyway, I am caught.

There is no way to resist.

Ariel is well aware of this fact, so she freely released it like this.

But what is the reason for digging another trap here?

‘Are you trying to make me feel hopeless?’

Ariel wants to dominate me.

There are many methods of domination that she always talks about, and one of them is ‘hope and despair.’

As we alternate between hope and despair, the human spirit breaks down.

A mentally broken person is in a mentally defenseless state that is perfect for domination, and with enough coaxing, he can put himself on a leash.

I am immune to Ariel’s gift.

Therefore, in order for her to dominate me, she has to go through this arduous process.

‘Of course, you can’t make me submit just like that.’

It’s a mind that has been honed while playing this damn game.

I can say without a doubt that in terms of mental strength, I am the strongest in this worldview.

‘No matter what Ariel says, she can’t make me give in.’

So, I plan to trap you.

There’s nothing I can do anyway, and I have to watch what kind of crazy things Ariel does.

The system opens a store window.

After passing through various items and skills, I checked the description of the skill called [Anti-Mental].

[Blocks all types of mental attacks, including domination, charm, fear instillation, and mental breakdown.]

[However, the emotions the user feels are not mental attacks and are not subject to blocking.]

The most threatening thing in this game is not physical attack, but mental attack.

For physical attacks, you can just search and then retry, but in the case of mental attacks, if you make a mistake, you will not be able to reset.

Therefore, the anti-mental skill is a deceptive skill that perfectly protects against such mental attacks.

Thanks to this, I keep this skill activated 24 hours a day.

‘When I didn’t have this… .’

When there was no anti-mental.

And when I didn’t even know what Ariel’s gift was.

I was completely dominated by Ariel, raised as a pet slave, and subjected to all kinds of training.

This is a shitty memory that I don’t even want to think about, and ranks second among the worst experiences I’ve ever had with this game.

I was naked 24 hours a day, wearing only a dog leash, and had to crawl around on all fours like a real dog.

In the name of training, I had to carry out absurd orders.

And the most terrible thing was none other than sexual torture.

If I were to serve Ariel, I would have tolerated it.

However, because ‘slaves’ are not people to Ariel, she does not enjoy sexual play with them.

Just as animals mate without restraint, slaves were ordered to have relationships with each other without restraint.

Regardless of gender.

Even though I was living such a hellish day, I was actually happy at the time.

It is an even more unpleasant and disgusting memory because my brain was literally being massaged to my heart’s content by Ariel.

‘Fucking bitch. Just wait until the strategy is over.’

I will definitely pay you back in full, including interest.
