The headless body plopped to the ground, blood spurting from its neck and staining the floor.

The woman was splattered with blood on her face, and in fear, she closed her eyes.

Mira viciously kicked the headless body convulsing on the ground, spat contemptuously, and her demeanor gradually became more manic.

"Are you worthy to utter the name of our Lord Oedipus!?"

"She saved me! I am the favored one! The chosen one!"

"The person loved by that noble is me, of course! It is I!"

"Only I am worthy to chant her illustrious name, only I!"

"The rest of you scoundrels don't even have the right to speak her surname!"

Another ruthless kick, and this time Mira's leg was imbued with immense power, causing the headless body to explode in mid-air.

"So...you all should respect her as the Lady of the Heavens, don't you think?"

Calming her frenzied expression slightly, Mira's grotesque face gradually softened as she spoke gently to those around her.

In the dark surroundings, it seemed like numerous voices were softly echoing Mira's words, which sent shivers down the woman sitting on the chair.

Approaching a candle, Mira smiled at the woman.

She gently lit the white night candle, meticulously adjusted the wick with a snuffer, and lightly blew on it.

The eerie and terrifying altar was suddenly illuminated by the flickering candle. Hundreds of people in red carps were densely packed on scattered steps around, blocking all exits.

The woman tied to the chair couldn't help but shiver in fear. She knew she had walked into the lion's den.

Investigating the activities of the heretical cult and uncovering the spy within Kyopa, both tasks she had been pursuing, entrusted by Lady Dunkirk. Little did she expect that these two matters were actually one.

"The Agio family's detective..."

"Now do you understand?"

"It's not too late to now submit to the great Oedipus."

"Unless you want to regret until Doomsday arrives..."

"That would truly be too late."

Mira grabbed the detective's collar tightly, glaring fiercely, and compellingly hissed at her.

"The so-called gods in the eyes of common people do not exist."

"And the only one who can save you... is the great and merciful Lord Oedipus!"

"Shame!"

Enraged, the detective clenched her teeth and fiercely headbutted Mira's forehead.

She was also a staff member of the Agio family, living in such a devout religious environment every day. Even if she was not a priest, she was at least a believer. How could she allow someone to blaspheme her faith like this?

"Haha, missed me, newbie?"

As if anticipating the detective's attack, Mira dodged the collision by tilting her head.

The detective glared ferociously at the smiling and crazy Mira in front of her, feeling her blood boil with anger.

She knew that this investigation had most likely sealed her fate.

But that didn't mean her mission had failed.

As a detective who often undertook dangerous missions, she had honed a mystical magic that would only be unleashed after her death.

As long as she is not completely crushed when she is killed, her body will turn into numerous pale owls and fly to the designated individual in advance to deliver important mission messages for her.

Therefore, at this moment, she fears death in no way.

"Well, since you are so stubborn..."

"Then I won't force you."

Mira gently patted the detective lady on the shoulder, saying with deep meaning.

"Go to hell and pray for forgiveness from Lord Oedipus."

Mira snapped her fingers and immediately a group of people came up, holding oil barrels, pouring gasoline all over her.

"Light her up!"

"What... What? No!"

The detective lady screamed in terror because she knew that burning her body completely was precisely one of the very few ways to break this spell.

Before the detective lady could finish her words, a vigorous flame soared.

"Why did you... Ah!"

As the raging flames angrily rose from the ground, the entire body of the detective lady turned into numerous burning white birds. They fluttered in the sky, but before they could flap their wings a few times, they fell to the ground, turned into magic, and disappeared.

"Thanks to the protection from Lord Oedipus, under fortuitous circumstances, I have gained the power of predicting the future to some extent..."

"At the start, you never stood a chance."
