While Alex had his abundant life of pleasure and progress, mainly the former, for it was connected to his strength, the world and its strongest people also continued to move forward.

Elias Deathwill.

Although he couldn't casually invade realms and continents like he used to during his prime, Elias still could visit some places with minimal effort.

He had even fewer problems visiting and locating people affected by his plan to become a human.

After a few calculations to get proper coordination and energy usage, Elias Deathwill formed a spatial crack, going through it immediately.

He appeared in a world shrouded in darkness resembling the soul grave-keeper's realm. It was a much different place, however.

Elias went to a small mansion on a dark hill. That place stood out, for no living being was bold enough to live in this place. It was just a dark nature around the house.

No light came out from the dwelling, even after opening the doors.

"I am not shocked to see you, Elias," a girl with a cold voice uttered those words, her blue eyes fixed on Elias Deathwill, glaring at him without blinking.

Her expression didn't falter, though. She remained stoic, sitting on a wooden chair, straight and elegant. Her eyes were still beautiful, even if she concealed a deep hatred within those hues.

Elias himself didn't immediately reply to her, his eyes hovering on her beauty.

She was Princess Mia, Sara's mother, and Celia's grandma. Her fame stretched across the whole Darkmana Empire and even beyond, for she was truly a one-of-a-kind woman solely due to her beauty.

Even better, Mia was interested in fashion. She wrapped her beauty in the best clothes, her style leaving her whole dullahan race enthralled.

Every girl followed Mia's fashion that she had left behind. It was similar to the Gothic style, all black with white frills around the chest area. She also had a signature neckband around her neck, which was popular in the Dullahan Kingdom.

Mia wasn't just about looks, however. She wielded an immense strength enough to inflict wounds on her enemies' bodies and souls. That was still eclipsed by her beauty, though.

And as even Elias Deathwill stood in a daze for a few seconds, Mia was indeed the real deal.

"That's reassuring" Elias whispered, still confused by his own emotions, "I have come here to mend the wounds I caused to you.

I understood my mistakes and that I only love you," Elias formed a genuine smile. In his case, it wasn't easy to tell whether he was honest. Yet, in reality, many of Elias's real feelings went to that smile.

Mia, however, didn't bat an eye at him.

Elias' smile didn't crumble despite her glare and no reaction, "I am sorry for planting [Greed] within you, Mia. But with me by your side, we will turn that power into a profound strength that will erase antagonists and all enemies daring to point their weapons at us.

I swear on my life that I will achieve it," Elias added, his eyes sincere.

The lady didn't seem touched by his confession and oath. Still sitting on the chair in her favorite clothes, Mia deeply looked through Elias.

She then languorously stood up, narrowing her beautiful eyes, "Are you done? It seems like you are.

From now on, you will listen to me. I will kick you away from my house should you interrupt me three times," Mia said in a commanding and confident tone, her words causing Elias to knit his eyebrows.

She continued as if oblivious to the changes happening in Elias' heart, "You have become less tactful. I dare to say that there's nothing of that trait in you. What could have possibly happened for you to lose your sweet talking?

Perhaps, it is connected to your current strength? There's no foreign sin within you, Elias. You have your own cultivated sins, some which you siphoned from us.

But those are your sins. Your strength is far weaker than what it should be Have you failed?" Mia asked emotionlessly and casually as if talking about someone utterly foreign to her.

Elias parted his lips, his face scrunched uglily, "That's a false assumption-"

"You have failed, Elias. Your whole plan failed," Mia said with a palpable elation, her voice still sharp. She even smiled faintly, breaking her usual cold demeanor.

Elias unknowingly clenched his hands, gazing at the most beautiful woman he had ever seen with a distorted expression, which took away his handsome looks. He even occasionally trembled, showcasing the brewing fury within him.

But his woman was right.

He was in a hurry to find her. He didn't think about anything other than taking a different approach to his plan. He referenced Alex's life quite heavily here, hoping to build snatch with Mia.

Out of all women, Mia had a unique place in his heart. Elias understood it after deluding himself to believe that he was 'more human-like' now.

She was cold and merciless toward him, though.

"It's amusing how you think I need you to control [Greed], Elias," Mia suddenly dropped shocking news, her words exploding within Elias' mind like a bomb.

He blinked in a stupor, gawking at her in a shock like never before, "You claim you can control it?"

To answer his words, Mia called her sinful energy forth, which was tightly connected to her dullahan mana.

From behind her, a battle horse appeared, donning heavy armor. His eyes were green, representing abundant [Greed] within his form. That energy formed his mane and tail, shining in the house.

The creation howled, glowering at Elias Deathwill.

That was not over, of course.

Mia's sinful energy opened all closets in her mansion. A copious amount of black-green mana poured out of these, swathing the house in an ocean of energy.

That energy animated all clothes from closets, their appearances forming an orderly wall before the second princess. Those clothes differed, for Mia sacrificed all her designs, ideas, talent, and love for these.

They were for different people, ladies, and men.

There were adorable, official, and even sexy dresses. Some clothes were for men, looking close to suits with Mia's unique taste and touch.

And more!

"We tend to act on our emotions. If it weren't for your words and tricks, I wouldn't have stolen The Dullahan King's Sword from my home, believing that it would help you create a bridge between our kingdoms.

The [Greed] moves those clothes," Mia explained some of her feelings, gazing at Elias with more emotions than ever before, "And they share some of my heart, mainly hatred toward you It's not my forte, though."

She sported a unique charm, for her greed and hatred were flaring emotions, yet these two could only add more coldness to her already cold expression.

And while every wife of Elias Deathwill was a woman of immense talent, Mia showcased a profound talent and adaptation to the sinful energy.

She had the best circumstances to do it, though.

She wasn't the greedy and actually emotional person behind her cold mask. She could turn her own and foreign emotions to her advantage. And at the beginning of her plight, Mia found a way to store the sinful energy in her battle horse.

That helped her significantly with her research.

In comparison, Elias' other wife, Meiya Deathwill, had the worst circumstances. She faced [Envy], which she wasn't foreign with. She was the envious girl from childhood, that emotion easily taking over her heart.

Half of her strength came from divine power, yet that was nothing against the sinful energy, for quality was just different. She couldn't heal herself or even find a gap to stop the invasion of envy.

Some people triumphed in pairs, too.

Meiya had two pairs of wings to help her, the black and white pairs. The former belonged to the man who showcased her genuine love, and the latter sprouted from her happiness and pride, her daughter.

Meiya soon would thrive on the big stage.

Mia took the crown of the queen now, though.

"What's the meaning of this?" Elias spoke through his clenched teeth, his eyes went bloodshot, and he trembled like a sick person. Black sinful energy went through his body, crawling on his skin to form tattoos to boost his strength.

His sword vibrated, oozing out sinful energy as well. It sharpened his skills and became something akin to Dullahan Mist, swirling around the blade.

His reaction was even more emotional than during his talk with Mia, that read him like a book.

[A suit for Alexander Deathwill Mao from a heartbroken girl in need of his touch Lv. 150]

Mia covered her pretty lips with her hand, softly laughing, "You made so much better expression, Elias. You have topped all my dreams and imaginations with your riled-up face.

And it really tells a lot, for I don't lack creativity." Mia kept laughing without any care, solely focusing on herself.

"I have been waiting for that day to come for years My only worry was that you would succeed with your plan. I don't think you would react the same if you were to hold all stolen sinful energies But you came here stark naked, so defenseless and pitiful You are worse than a loser now, aren't you?" Mia added with a voice laced in thrill.

She felt so much joy that she couldn't pay attention to Elias Deathwill.

"You You cheap slut!" Elias howled, raising his sword and drawing Mia's attention back to himself.

She lifted her eyes, staring at him with a faint smile, "How many presents does it take for a girl to notice a man? How many presents does it take to help a wounded girl?

It varies from girl to girl But in my case, I just needed one present from Alexander to have my eyes on him. He just dropped me a second present, beating you so much that you came here without any stolen sinful energy

You are in such a state that a mere cloth can turn you livid I can't help but look forward to Alexander coming here," Mia grinned like not herself at all, taking a few steps ahead.

Her following words left Elias Deathwill wary of her might.

"Sinful Ultimate Skill," Mia whispered, calling forth abundant sinful energy, which stemmed from the depths of her heart and soul.

Elias knew the source of that strength And he never expected that she would be able to seize it, turning it into a 'fake ultimate skill'.

In his current maddened state, Elias didn't think of Mia's talent. If it were his normal self, he surely would grow fearful or respect her.

But now, he just wanted to kill her.
