"Sana..."
Ivy Naomi Higashikata's eyes glinted when she heard her name.
"I know you."
"Me?"
"Yes. I heard that there was a woman who can answer my questions with diamonds. I heard you're rich."
Ivy Naomi was a DemiGod for almost 200 years. In fact, she was older than the country of Dellia which was founded 150 years ago.
As a powerful woman, she had a dream that she wanted to pursue.
God Rank. The league of true deities. Beings that reign over the world millenniums ago.
Ivy Naomi was looking for a way to reach that level but she failed miserably. There was no way, but to cultivate. However, Ivy Naomi knew that it would take her at least a thousand years before she could accumulate enough experience to break through. Even enlightenment would not help her.
Furthermore, becoming a God Rank was not easy. The Heavenly Tribulation was a process that she would face.
She already faced the Tribulation when she became a DemiGod, it was a horrible torture. She felt like she wanted to die.
However, her ambition was far strong than her fear. She wanted to reach the stage where everyone would kneel and worship her.
'I want to become the first God Rank of this era.'
Her grey eyes were shining with intention.
"..."
Sana bitterly smiled when she heard what Ivy Naomi said. Indeed, she was rich but she could not use her money and properties right now because she was currently acting 'dead'.
'I was hiding from the Council of Torment. My bank account was frozen because my death was related to the Council of Torment. I can't even sell my properties.'
Sana had an amusement park in the Port of Aoneon... The amusement park was destroyed by the Aberrants when the Blood Moon arose.
With her power, Sana realized that danger would fall before her and she would die.
So she escaped once she realized that a powerful organization was after her.
She used her Term Attribute to find someone to protect her. Maybe fate was playing with her because she met Medu, an unknown DemiGod who sprouted from nowhere.
Since then, Sana decided to follow Medu. Medu was a strong woman and she could protect Sana from danger.
However, Sana understood that it was not enough to have a powerful bodyguard. She needed a strong organization to leech on.
In fact, she was the one who convinced Medu to join an organization.
"Yes, I'm Sana."
There was no reason to lie anyway. With a little bit of research, they could find her identity.
"I thought you are dead."
"About that..." She bitterly smiled. She didn't want to explain everything so she kept her smile.
"It's fine if you don't want to explain it. I heard that your Term Attribute can answer any question."
Ivy Naomi was clearly interested in her. One of the reasons why she agreed to Medu joining the Triad was because of Sana.
"Yes. But the harder the question, the harder the answer. Furthermore, I need 20 carats of diamonds to activate my power. And I can only answer one question per person."
"I see."
Ivy Naomi had a spatial ring and blatantly threw a box of jewelry to Sana.
"I trust you, I hope you will give me a proper answer."
"As long as your question is not hard, I'm confident in my ability."
Sana grabbed the jewelry box and found two diamonds, enough for her to consume and activate her Term Attribute.
"I only have one question. I want to find a way to break through and become a God Rank."
'As expected, another person who wants to break through.'
This was not the first time that Sana met someone like Ivy Naomi.
"Then..."
Sana steeled her heart and swallowed the diamonds. She gritted her teeth and gulped them down.
A few seconds later, Sana's face darkened and her body trembled uncontrollably.
The people only watched her with interest.
Just like Ivy Naomi, Barathros and Jejomar were interested in Sana's unique ability.
Sana gasped after shaking. She was sweating buckets and breathing roughly.
She wiped her sweat and looked at Ivy Naomi with surprise.
"... I never expected that I will see these letters twice."
"What did you see?" Ivy Naomi raised her brow.
"I only saw two letters. Except that, I have nothing else."
"It's alright. I'm not gonna be mad at you. I know how hard it is to become a God Rank. I just want to know if there's a chance for me to become one."
"The letters I saw are C and R."
C. R.
'Dejavu...'
Sana recalled the Elf she saw last time. Marianne Francine was asking the same question and she received these two specific letters.
"C. R... Thank you Sana, I know that it will be hard even for someone like you."
Ivy Naomi was disappointed. She didn't expect that she would get two letters as an answer.
"Actually, I can give you more clues but..."
Sana glanced at Medu. This blindfolded woman had asked her to only answer Ivy Naomi, she didn't have to help Barathros and Jejomar. At least not now.
"Now that you received from my underling Sana, I guess it's my turn. Ivy, I want you to keep your promise."
Medu stepped forward and grinned.
"Of course, I never break my promise. You can do what you want with them."
Ivy Naomi nodded and let the show begin.
"... What is happening here?"
"Looks like we were left clueless."
Barathros and Jejomar realized that something was wrong. Based on Medu and Ivy Naomi's interaction, the two women made a deal.
"Boys, you don't have to worry. I will explain it. I talked to Ivy and she agreed to let me kill one of you. After all, the name of our organization is called Triad. It will be kind of lame if we have four leaders, right? So I have to erase one of you. The weakest will die, and the stronger one will live. Simple as that. Now, you can fight me all at once, I have no problem with that."
Medu spread her arms with ease. As a woman who lived for thousands of years and joined the battle against the Demon King, she was confident in killing them.
'Ah, I only have to kill one of them.'
