Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

"These bastards just don't appreciate anything,"

Even though nobody said anything and the Gray Mist's secrecy was pretty tight, Tao Yu could still sense that subtle feeling.

Afterward, he took another glance at the last diary entry.

"January 16th, the taste of a witch is truly not bad at all."

"..."

Tao Yu rubbed his forehead, unsure of how to evaluate Emperor Roselle.

So this is what you're like, Fool?

Tao Yu suddenly felt a bit stifled, wondering if it was a mistake to put his chips on him.

But...

"The taste indeed isn't bad, hmmm, it's about time to digest 'Pleasure.' The few incitements from Eve actually worked quite well, although there's no need to digest them anymore, but getting her to betray the Witch Sect would be rather good..."

Tao Yu remembered Eve telling him that situations like hers were actually rare within the Witch Sect, and not only was her ascension path being blocked, but it was also more prone to losing control.

Given that, it was naturally better to lure her away.

And he could also obtain the Sequence Five magic potion recipe from her.

As for exposing that he hadn't turned into a witch, after trying for so long, it should be fine once water flowed into a channel.

If it really didn't work out, it wouldn't matter much anyway. Could the Witch Sect still hunt down a spy from the Church of the Night?

And at the worst, it would just mean a persona discarded...

...

Tao Yu arrived at the dilapidated ballroom, feeling somewhat sympathetic.

He had represented the Aurora Society here once, then he sought out Mr. A to assassinate an ambassador with only a down payment—that was another troubling visit; it was rather pitiful...

Upon arriving at the ballroom and seeing that there was no intention to repair it, Tao Yu felt an attitude of 'let it rot.'

Then, in front of a temporarily picked-up table in the ballroom, he saw Eve drinking sullenly.

"You guys have fixed this gas pipeline several times now."

Tao Yu spoke earnestly.

It's time to try digesting the Provoker in advance, so that the magic potion melts in the mouth when ingested.

"Heh, I'm a bit disappointed in the organization myself, let's just leave it at that,"

"How about we make an appointment?"

Tao Yu extended his hand onto her shoulder, taking the wine glass from her.

"Although I don't mind bringing you pleasure, are you sure?"

Eve looked at Tao Yu's handsome face with a complex expression.

"We have to give it a try..."

...

Eve woke up groggy, feeling sore all over and gradually remembered what happened last night.

Her mind was blank all night, unable to think, and now that she had come to her senses, she was startled,

"How could you possibly..."

"It's just some special methods. Actually, by jumping to the Hunter Path at Sequence Four, you can come back. I just obtained some of the higher-sequence powers a bit earlier,"

Tao Yu explained briefly.

This statement brought a mixture of joy and worry to Eve's face.

"Be careful, okay? You can't let anyone know about your situation, especially people from the Witch Sect."

"What? Aren't you part of the Witch Sect?"

"I mean the others!"

Eve gave Tao Yu a coquettish glance, then spoke seriously,

"I've told you before that my situation is prone to ostracism. The people in the Witch Sect are a bit crazy. If they really find out about you, they will definitely chase you down frantically, sparing no expense, they might even lower a divine oracle."

Her words made Tao Yu's eyes light up slightly. Could he use this in the future to bait the Primeval Witch?

Right, he would ask the old grandpa he had captured.

He was on the Hunter Path, so he must know a lot about the adjacent paths.

Didn't Emperor Roselle's diary mention an interest in witches?

With a pincer attack, he could turn defeat into victory!

"I understand. So, what about you now..."

"What else can I do? Could I possibly leave? My situation is a bit different from yours."

Eve seemed somewhat melancholy.

Though Tao Yu was still a peripheral figure, Eve's connection to the Sect was not so simple; her deep involvement meant she had the ability to foretell if real problems arose!

Having also learned divination, Tao Yu knew that the spirituality bestowed by the Witch Path was quite significant.

According to old man Medici, the Witch represented the most yin aspect of all paths, in complete contrast to the Hunter Path.

"So what are they preparing now, and what do you mean by telling me to leave Becland? Should we leave together?"

Tao Yu's words tempted Eve, but she still shook her head.

"As a participant, I can't leave unless I die..."

After a moment of hesitation, she simply said to Tao Yu

"I'm not very clear on the specifics of what they want to do, but the main goal is to conceal human trafficking and create a large-scale massacre, collaborating with the Aurora Society so they can take action."

Although Eve only touched on what she knew, when combined with what Tao Yu had learned from the situation with the swindler she had killed, it gave her an 'ah-ha' moment.

The swindler was likely a crucial part of their plan.

If they used the docks and factories to complete Divine Descension, it would be a significant blow to Becland.

But were all these actions just to hide their human trafficking?

They traffic humans for the descent of the Evil God, and the Evil God descends to conceal human trafficking?

Something felt peculiar about it.

As Tao Yu pondered in her mind, she hesitated and then remembered The Hanged Man mentioning General of Disease appearing at sea. Indeed, if it was about people, directly transporting them from the Southern Continent seemed time and effort efficient...

"It's all connected..."

Though she didn't know their exact goal, Tao Yu was sure there was a big problem within...

...

"Human trafficking..."

Leonard had another meeting with Tao Yu, listening to his brief description.

The matter was too significant; naturally, Tao Yu couldn't act alone like she had against the swindler, where she had clear benefits. Now, the risks did not correlate with the rewards.

Although Mr. Fool, due to his recuperation, might not be convenient to perform Divine Descension in Becland, there were local Divine Spirits here!

By becoming an informant for the Church of the Night, it was like having a powerful backing.

"I don't know the details because it's beyond my reach, but I know that last time they wanted me to supervise a member of the royal family, I just don't know who."

"I understand, what's the reward you're seeking?"

"The extraordinary characteristic of Sequence Five on the Witch Path."

Tao Yu directly requested, she had already obtained the formula from Eve, but that was the highest-level Magic Potion Eve could access.

The rest would likely have to be sought from other high-ranking members of the Witch Sect.

Even the Church of the Night might not have it!

However, the good news was, as seen through the Red Priest's Tarot cards, after Sequence Four, the use of auxiliary materials diminished, and rituals became primary.

The rituals were there to prevent madness.

So, what she needed to pay attention to at a higher sequence was not the ascension ritual, but the digestion of it...

"I'll apply for it for you. If the intelligence is confirmed to be true, there shouldn't be a big problem. But you need to be careful not to take it rashly without fully digesting it first," Leonard earnestly advised.

"Alright..."

Tao Yu was about to reply when she suddenly felt again the gaze of a high-caliber being.

Again?

And this time it was distinctly obvious, coming from Leonard's direction!

But judging from Leonard's expression and demeanor, it wasn't him; something was using his body!

An Angel of the Church of the Night?

Leonard actually had an Angel with him?

Last time Tao Yu was too confused to be sure.

But now, having seen Mr. Fool's followers, having witnessed the former King of Angels, and having forcefully captured an old man, she roughly confirmed that this was indeed a Sequence One Angel!

"That's not right, though. If the Night Path has a True God, then there shouldn't be a Sequence One Angel. What's going on? Has Leonard with his thick brows and big eyes turned traitor?"

Although Tao Yu continued to ponder, with the Divinity in the depth of her Mental Body, she didn't let any flaws show and hurriedly left after parting ways with Leonard...
