Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

After the «Reset» was completed, the location of all nine Forbidden zones became known. However, Milisa, Alois, and Liam weren't too interested in this. They were eagerly awaiting news about Milica's disciples.

But no matter how long they waited, nothing new appeared. It is not even known how the conflict between the group and the Hero ended. Since that day, no one has seen the group appear in public, and surprisingly, no one has met the Hero himself.

This made Milica uneasy.

Milica began to think about what could have happened and how the group managed to move so stealthily that even the locals, supported by Limbo's mind, could not constantly know their location and movements.

Suddenly, she remembered her encounter with the woman in black that took place a week ago at the Adventurer Guild branch.

Even Milica, who has extraordinary abilities, could not accurately determine either the strength or the identity of this woman. On top of that, she recalled the scene where she saw huge dark wings flying off in the direction her disciples had disappeared to. Combining these memories, Milica came to a surprising conclusion.

Milica looked at Alois and his disciple, remembering what she had heard from them. She found nothing in their stories that could connect the mysterious woman with her disciples.

"Tell me, did you notice anything unusual during your journey with my disciples? For example, did they go somewhere for a while without telling you where exactly?" asked Milisa with obvious interest.

Alois and Liam thought about it, and after a few seconds, both looked at each other in surprise. Then, turning to Milica, they nodded, confirming that something like this had indeed happened.

"Yes, on our first night in the Forbidden zone, we noticed that a couple from another world disappeared for a while during their watch. Eulalia, the elf, explained to us that they had gone away to be alone, but remembering the events of the following days and their relationship, it all seems strange and suspicious to us," Liam explained.

Upon hearing this, Milica immediately realized that, perhaps, on the very first night, the couple had already made contact with the mysterious woman in black. She was supposed to be helping her disciples hide from Limbo and the locals. And, probably, this woman is an unusual creature.

Milica came to the conclusion that, most likely, this woman in black, like Arabel, is a Valkyrie. There were too many clues pointing to this. And that should be one of the reasons why she helps her disciples.

Now that she had at least some idea, Milica felt some peace of mind for her disciples.

She was sure that at this moment, her disciples must have decided to go to the Forest of Doppelgangers again. After all, this particular Forbidden Zone has become the most familiar to them and has great potential for the appearance of a Temple.

Milica wished them good luck, so that everything would work out for them, and they returned alive and well to share their successes with her.

After all, Milica was clearly aware of the difference between the Forbidden Zone, where there was no Temple, and the one in which it had already appeared. This difference turned the same place into two completely different territories.

***

The group led by the two Valkyries swiftly covered the distance between the First and Second Limbo City.

Flying over the Second City, they enjoyed its beauty from a bird's-eye view. The group then continued on their way towards the region where the Forest of Doppelgangers was rumored to have appeared, leaving the second city far behind.

It was nearing noon when they finally saw the outlines of a familiar forest in the distance.

The information turned out to be correct: The Forest of Doppelgangers actually appeared in this region. Their task now was to find out if a Temple had appeared in this Forbidden Area.

The group's plan was simple.

They didn't know how much the forest could change depending on whether there was a Temple there or not. Last time, Sierra was able to successfully use her abilities to escape the attention of Geminia and even Limbo's mind. She just didn't dare enter the central layer for fear of being discovered.

Now they were wondering: would Sierra be able to remain invisible to Geminia and Limbo when the Temple appeared in the forest? And will she be able to use her wings to help them get to the central layer faster?

The group received answers to their questions as soon as they crossed the border of the outer layer of the Forbidden zone.

Sierra and Esma felt the pressure of an invisible force that forced them to descend to the ground. As soon as their feet touched the ground, the force disappeared.

At that moment, everyone heard a faint rumble that spread throughout the forest.

"I have both good and bad news," Sierra said.

"The first bad news is that the forest seems to have rules against flying. The second bad news is that I can clearly feel the gaze of a powerful being on me. I haven't experienced this in a long time."

Her words made my skin crawl. None of them had experienced what Sierra felt.

"The good news is that this place is very different from the Forest of Doppelgangers from the last iteration. There is a high probability that the so-called Temple has appeared, and it is its appearance that so radically changes the rules of this Forbidden Zone."

"Hmm... how strange!" said Idan, attracting the attention of others.

"I don't feel the Energy of Madness at all!" he added.

These words of Idan caused some concern.

The last time Idan had been in the Forbidden Zone, he had clearly felt the presence of the Energy of Madness from the moment he appeared to the moment he exited it.

Even now, after a few days, the accumulated madness energy in his body was so great that it prevented him from using the power of his bloodline. He was still a "loaded bomb."

But now, back in the Forest of Doppelgangers, he didn't feel that energy at all.

Something was definitely wrong with this Forbidden Zone.
