Hey guys, Aidka's here with six chapters!!!

...

"Gina! Gina! Are you alright!? You! What did you do to my sister!?"

"Calm down, Miss Sara." The headmistress sighed softly. "I just made her faint. That was to cut her connection with 'fate' and stop her visions. She will be alright after waking up."

Sara's eyes were fierce. She was glaring at the headmistress as though she was her mortal enemy.

But after hearing her explanation, she calmed down slightly.

However, she was still glaring at the headmistress with hostility. Most likely, the only reason she did not attack the headmistress was that the headmistress was a few hundreds of times stronger than her.

"What happened?" Bloed asked with a frown. "Why did Gina have such a fierce reaction?"

"Most likely due to [Fate Interference]." It was Charise who replied.

"Fate Interference?" Bloed and the others looked at Charise confused.

The saintess of fate nodded. "You see, scrying 'Fate' is like searching for something in an endless river of information. People able to 'see' fate are able to find what they need inside that river.

"However, seeing fate is not easy. Mainly when you want to see something related to a powerful existence. The power of these existences can obfuscate everything about them, making it hard to see their fate. Moreover, some existences use their auras to shroud their fate. That was probably what happened to Gina. The fate she was seeing was interfered by existence she should not see and she ended received his aura head-on."

"A god, huh," Eve said.

Charise nodded. "If this was truly done by Returning Dusk, then that is most likely the case. We already know that Returning Dusk has at least one powerful god in their ranks."

Bloed's group looked at each other with grave expressions.

At the same time, Bloed thought about the name Charise mentioned.

Returning Dusk.

He was sure he had heard about them before.

If he was not wrong–

"Returning Dusk is a terrorist organization that appeared during the war against the Blight, right?"

Wave, Eve, and Charise looked at each other.

After several seconds, Charise sighed.

"Mr. Bloed, information about Returning Dusk is top secret, only known to demigods or people with important positions. You are not qualified to know it."

Bloed frowned. But before he could say anything, the silver-haired Valkyrie took a step forward.

"Is it so? I think I'm qualified then, right?"

Charise smiled wryly.

"... Well, technically yes." Charise hesitated and looked at Wave and Eve to ask for their help, but Wave just shrugged and Eve was indifferent.

In the end, Charise sighed with a helpless expression.

"Well, I think there is no problem as long as you don't spread this information thoughtlessly."

Bloed and the others nodded.

"Let me explain then." Charise thought for a moment before starting to talk. "Just like Mr. Bloed said, Returning Dusk is a terrorist organization. However, it's much older than the war against the Blight."

"Huh?"

"… Most people, even some members of that organization, think that Returning Dusk was created during the war against the Blight. But it's wrong. Returning Dusk dates from much before. Hundreds of years before that, actually."

Bloed and the others were stunned.

Hundreds of years? Doesn't it mean that Returning Dusk is the oldest organization in the world?

"It's as you think." Charise nodded, confirming the thoughts of the group. "Actually, even we did not know when that organization appeared, or which is its real goal. We did not even know who founded it.

"We only know that it's behind many of the wars and catastrophes through this world's history. Normally, though, they are incredibly secretive, so secretive that nobody but the members themselves know about it.

"One hundred years ago, though, it changed.

"During the war against the Blight, Returning Dusk appeared on the stage of the continent, killing hundreds of powerful powerhouses and plotting the fall of several gods. Moreover, it interfered with the war against the Blight.

"Due to that, many people think that their goal is the destruction of the world."

Bloed put on a grave expression.

An organization whose goal is to destroy the world?

He thought something like that only existed in fiction.

"Actually, that is not entirely correct." Wave interrupted. "Returning Dusk has several members, and the reason they are in the organization is different for each one. As for the claim that they want to destroy the world, that is bullshit."

"Then, what is their goal?" Liu Ying asked curiously.

Wave fell silent for a moment before opening her mouth hesitantly.

"I'm not sure. However, I once heard someone mention something… He spoke about, 'Immortality'."

Bloed and the others were shocked.

Immortality? That was crazy!

Everything in this world had a beginning and an end. The entropy of the universe meant that everything was going to be destroyed in a natural and inevitable way. Something like Immortality was scientifically impossible.

In fact, Bloed knew that even gods were not Immortal. Even the Human Confederation had not managed to achieve anything close to it.

But now, someone in this world was planning to become Immortal?

What a joke.

"Many people desire to be Immortal." Headmistress Wave shook her head softly. "Even gods can't resist the temptation of eternal life."

"Then, what is the reason they kidnapped the students?" Bloed asked.

"We don't know. However, we have acquired information that a lot of boys and girls have been kidnapped around the world recently, and the main suspect is Returning Dusk. We believe they want to use them for some kind of experiment."

Bloed's group looked at each other with grave expressions.

If that was true, then what happened in Calice City and in the underground of Diadel Duchy was indeed related to Returning Dusk…

The ones that kidnapped Prince Calisto.

The ones trying to kidnap Gina.

And the ones experimenting with the Devourers.

Bloed frowned. It seemed he was facing something much bigger than he thought.
