Honestly, I really didn’t want to have to deal with all these troublesome matters, but when looking at it from another angle, it actually didn’t matter if I dealt with them or not.

Magic civilizations wouldn’t be any bit behind a scientific civilization in searching for secrets about life and the soul. In fact, due to the development of undead magic, impossible surgeries such as brain transplants or head transplants weren’t difficult at all in this world. It was also quite simple to put together a body from different parts, such as how an Abomination would be the amalgamation of parts from corpses. Although it would seem like a miracle for a dead person to be able to speak again in my original world, even an acolyte undead mage would be able to accomplish this in the world of Eich.

Morals which should have restrained people would become meaningless in a chaotic world where strength was valued above all. The result of having no taboos was quite extreme.

Chimeras or Abominations were often made from living people’s body parts combined with wild animals’ organs. Blood golems were also one of the most common types of magical golems. In mages’ eyes, reconstructing a living being’s body wasn’t difficult at all. Changing out a single organ would be quite simple.

Okay, I was talking so much because I wanted to express something that everyone might have forgotten about... I wasn’t the only undead mage in the world. Transformations, changing limbs out, and so on were actually quite easy to accomplish in this world.

As for the difference between modifications made by surgery versus modifications made by magic...? As long as the technique was perfect, with no side effects, it would be analogous to the difference between a beautiful woman with inborn beauty and a beautiful woman who gained her beauty through cosmetic surgery. It would only be a psychological difference. I would be unable to tell.

In my opinion, my System was still being far too nice to Beifeng. If it had been up to me, I would have simply performed a neutering surgery on him as if he was a cat that hissed all night.

Ahem, ahem, I was getting off topic. Anyways, since I was no longer in the Northlands, Suana, Reyne, and Kakagar would have to deal with their gender problems by themselves. There were plenty of undead mages in the Northlands. It wasn’t like I was the only one who could help them.

I indeed had lots of other trouble to deal with.

“Karwenz?”

Of course, it was quite easy for Harloys to sense information from me through our soul connection. I had no intention of hiding my worries from her.

“...Yes, that’s what I’m most worried about right now. Not to mention, he’s currently searching for the deepest part of the Chaos Abyss, where Cynthia’s physical body lies. That makes me so uneasy.”

The overall situation in the land was rather chaotic, but still at an acceptable level. Besides, due to the hard work of the Hell Faction and Order Faction, the current developments were already far better than in the game’s history. If we still couldn’t make it past this dangerous time, then I wouldn’t have anything else to say... No, more accurately speaking, there was nothing else that I could do.

However, there was one thing that I had always remained highly anxious about.

That was right, it was about Karwenz. Just what did he want to do? Just what had he already done? Just what was his goal?

Karwenz was already a Chaos Main God, one of the strongest individuals in this entire universe. If he wanted authority, beautiful women, or wealth, he would easily be able to obtain any of those with his power. If he wanted to enjoy war and slaughter, all he had to do was simply come to the mortal plane.

In fact, if Karwenz suddenly wanted world peace and joined the side of good, with his power and factional support, it would be likely that he could succeed at bringing about world peace.

And even if he wanted to play the role of villain who wanted to conquer the world, I would understand that. He was a strange one who would be capable of anything.

But right now, I was unable to locate Karwenz anywhere despite my spies in the Chaos Abyss and trying to exchange information from the Gods. A powerful Chaos Main God like him had disappeared from the countless dimensions together with his most loyal followers for almost four months by now.

The scariest would always be the unknown...

[It feels as if 99% of the minimap is lit up, with just one dark portion, yet you’re still unable to find your target. It’s as if you stockpiled 200 hydralisks in preparation for an all-out assault, but you keep feeling like you’ll see your enemy prepared for you with two large squads of carriers.]

“I don’t think readers will be able to understand that joke unless they’ve played Starcraft before, although it really does feel like that...”

It wasn’t scary for an enemy to be powerful. The scary part would be having no idea what your enemy wanted to do and had already done... Honestly, with the information being so secret even now, I figured that it was likely that none of Karwenz’s subordinates knew what their master’s motive was, either.

All that was known about Karwenz’s current actions was that he was “searching for the deepest part of the Chaos Abyss” and “speeding up the progress of the Holy War”. Guessing his overall goal from just these two would really be quite difficult. It wasn’t that I hadn’t tried to guess. It was that I had too many guesses, and it was impossible to ascertain which was correct.

“...Stop scaring yourself. If even half of your guesses had been right, this world would have long since been destroyed already. But since we’re still perfectly alive, this means that Karwenz isn’t that insane.”

I nodded without saying anything. However, it was still impossible for my anxiety to fade.

I had already sent out countless spies after I cast Ice Aeon and was weakened. I also exchanged information with Gods who were either friendly or neutral with us. However, I had yet to find any information about Karwenz at all.

I now had some free time, and had also gathered the necessary resources. Leveling myself up would just take some more time. I was finally free to go where I pleased, but no longer had the patience to wait for information. Since information wouldn’t come to me, I would start finding information for myself!

“...By the way, where should we even go look?”

Harloys’ question was quite simple yet also practical. Looking for Karwenz would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. It would be difficult to know where to start.

My spies in the Chaos Abyss were unable to find Karwenz, and even the fairies’ information network which seemingly reached everywhere couldn’t find him. It would be meaningless to look for him without knowing where.

“...Let’s go talk to your father Didina first. Maybe he’ll have some news. Or, maybe we should go south first to look for that mirror?”

I could only take things one step at a time. I figured I should first focus on reaching Level 4 first as I had countless enemies out there. It would be such a joke if I suddenly died without even knowing how.

“By the way, could it be that Karwenz is in the mortal plane right now? Nobody in the Chaos Abyss can find him, so maybe he’s hiding in plain sight in the mortal plane...” Harloys suggested.

“There’s only a low possibility. You also know about the star net. Two major Hell Gods are watching over the entire mortal plane. Anyone who enters the mortal plane will be discovered. Catio and Patricia haven’t mentioned anything to us about an energy reaction like Karwenz’s.”

I shook my head as it was unlikely that Karwenz was in the mortal plane. The water here wasn’t deep enough right now. If he came here, he would be like a whale that entered a swimming pool. He would increase the entire water level with his presence. It would be almost impossible for him to conceal himself.

“System? Do you have any recommendations?”

[No, but perhaps you could try asking a prophet.]

I paused in surprise for a moment, but was then delighted. This was indeed a good idea. I was naturally immune to all detection abilities, but Karwenz might not have such an ability.

[No, as a Main God, he’s capable of concealing his own existence. What you need to ask is “What location will I have the worst luck in?”, “What location would Karwenz have the worst luck in if I went there?”, and other similar questions. If you ask without targeting him directly, you might be able to obtain a clue.]

Unlucky? I would be even unluckier if I met Karwenz? Karwenz would become unlucky if he met me? From a certain standpoint, this was actually correct. This would also ask the least from karma. However, the one who made the rules about karma was now teaching me how to cheat. This made me feel rather awkward.

“...Why do I feel like you’re laughing at my misfortune?”

[You merely have a mistaken impression.]

I shook my head and decided to ignore her tone.

“Prophecies?”

I really did know quite a few prophets, but as for where there would be the most and best prophets, it would obviously be correct to go south and visit the Mage Country.
