Volume 5, Chapter 1 – Method to Sabotage Yunchou’s Plot

According to what the System said, the power of Sloth really does exist inside the Fortress in the Underground World.

Heavenly Father had once mentioned that after Inferno sensed his death, it would once again set off a war.

At that time, that mysterious Abyssal Lord would also come looking for her.

Even though she did not know whether these things would really happen, the thought of actively gathering the Seven Original Sins had still appeared in Tianyin’s mind.

『However, before that, there are other things I have to do…』

After the System’s Light Orb told her about Yunchou’s bizarre ability to foresee the future, Tianyin had no choice but to start taking this player seriously.

Of course, the reason she took him seriously was also because during the previous Black Dragon King incident, Yunchou had indeed affected her.

Moreover, Yunchou seemed to know some of her secrets.

『So before going to the Fortress, I still have to deal with Yunchou, Samael…』

「Xiaoyin, isn’t Yunchou an outsider, why did you suddenly start taking him so seriously?」

Even though Tianyin now regarded Yunchou as important, Samael, who had no idea the System’s Light Orb even existed, was utterly puzzled.

From Samael’s point of view, Yunchou should have been nothing more than an ordinary outsider.

After all, this was the first time Samael had ever heard Tianyin even mention this outsider’s name.

Her small lips puffed up a little and Tianyin’s gaze turned somewhat helpless.

『Wuu, Samael, you don’t need to ask about this. In short, Yunchou is just a very strange person~』

Tianyin did not want to explain Yunchou’s ability in detail. The System’s Light Orb had specifically warned her about this. The fewer people who knew, the better.

「I see, then alright. But Xiaoyin, since you’re taking that outsider Yunchou so seriously, what should we do next?」

Since Tianyin was unwilling to go into detail about Yunchou, Samael did not press her. After dropping the subject, she asked about Tianyin’s next move.

As for what came next, Tianyin had already discussed it with the System in advance and already had a plan sketched out in her heart.

Her eyes narrowed slightly and Tianyin calmly showed a cute smile.

『Yunchou’s next plan is to take part in the King of Knights election and gain the King of Knights’ Throne-tier power in this election.』

『So our next step is to go to the Kingdom and wreck Yunchou’s scheme!』

「Wait… that outsider can actually take part in the King of Knights election?」

After hearing Tianyin’s words, what caught Samael’s attention was the fact that Yunchou was taking part in the King of Knights election.

She did not pay as much attention to the plan to sabotage Yunchou’s plot to obtain the King of Knights’ power.

『Wuu… Samael, why’re you focusing on the fact that Yunchou can join the King of Knights election? Honestly, the main point should be sabotaging Yunchou’s plot!』

Tianyin raised her delicate brows and complained a little unhappily.

「Ah, sorry, Xiaoyin. It’s just that this goes far beyond common sense. In theory, as long as someone is a Paladin they can take part in the King of Knights election. But by long-standing custom, only Paladins who have reached Legendary and have enough qualifications, mature Paladins, are even eligible to be on the list… so when I heard you say that an outsider like Yunchou can join the King of Knights election, I really was shocked…」

『Wuu… alright…』

Samael’s explanation in her mind was reasonable enough. Naturally, for Tianyin, who had no idea how the Paladin election process even worked, Yunchou being on the candidate list was something only she would not find strange.

『Samael, it’s exactly because Yunchou is taking part in this King of Knights election in the Kingdom that our next move is to go and sabotage his plot first!』

「Sabotage that outsider’s plot? But Xiaoyin, how can you be sure that Yunchou will definitely obtain the King of Knights’ power?」

How could she be sure?

Tianyin silently rolled her eyes.

Because Yunchou could foresee the future…

Of course, Tianyin would never say that out loud. Yet if she had to use some other reason to explain how she knew Yunchou could obtain the King of Knights’ power…

That really put her on the spot.

『Mm… for this kind of thing, well, there’s no need to worry about that question. In short, this outsider Yunchou is very dangerous. Mm, that’s right, extremely, extremely dangerous. In any case, we just have to go and sabotage his plot!』

In the end, since she truly had no idea how to explain it, Tianyin deftly used vague wording to settle the matter just like that.

Of course, the body was under Tianyin’s control. No matter how unwilling Samael might be to agree, she could not change Tianyin’s decision.

Even so, Tianyin, who knew this in her heart, still subconsciously sought out Samael’s opinion.

「Alright then. Since you’re planning to deal with Yunchou, Xiaoyin, you should at least tell me how you’re going to sabotage his plot, right?」

『Hehe, actually I’ve already thought of a way to deal with Yunchou’s plot~』

「Well, it looks like you really have thought of a way? Then tell me.」

『The method is actually very easy~』

When she mentioned this method, Tianyin could not help thinking of an old saying named “Deal with a man as he deals with you” ¹ Basically a similar idiom to ‘You should treat others the same way they treat you.’ .

『Samael, Yunchou’s goal is just to inherit the King of Knights’ Throne-tier power, right? Then we just need to send out Fisiel, who’s also a Paladin and has Legendary strength, and it’ll work, no?』

「Fisiel? That isn’t right, Xiaoyin. Wasn’t Fisiel already removed from the Paladins of the Kingdom? Can you really send her?」

While that could count as a method, Fisiel had already been stripped of her Paladin status.

Besides…

「There shouldn’t be any place for Fisiel’s name on the King of Knights candidate list, right?」

Yes, it was that last line that was the real focus of Samael’s doubts about Tianyin.

However, Tianyin did not seem flustered by Samael’s doubt at all.

On the contrary, she put her hands on her hips and puffed out her utterly flat chest, wearing a cute expression that said she had expected Samael to say that.

『Samael, this kind of question isn’t a problem at all~ You have to know that in the whole Kingdom Faction, the Paladins might be the main force defending the Kingdom, but the ruling class of the Kingdom is entirely nobles~』

Once Tianyin brought up the fact that the Kingdom’s ruling class was made up of nobles, Samael understood at once.

「Xiaoyin, you mean… win over those nobles?」

『Mm-hm, that’s exactly it. After all, the nobles of the Kingdom are a bunch who’ll do absolutely anything for profit, those so-called nobles~』
