Grimm shook his head again with a mocking smile on his face. "But this is also a very awful world."

Grimm threw all the shredded notes into the air and heaved a sigh of disappointment. "If this is what the endless world is supposed to be like, everything is achievable, everything is so wonderful, what's the point of my naive ignorance and long-term pursuit? Is it… just to do whatever I please?"

Nairo mumbled, confused, "Grimm, what's wrong with you? Isn't it one of your wishes to perfect the 'Crystallized Time of Lefay's Wonderful Moments'?"

Grimm received a similarly confused glare from Little Myna, with a hint of doubt and skepticism. "Master, what's the matter with you?"

Vivian mumbled, intimidated and worried, "Senior, please don't be like this, you are scaring me."

Again, Grimm shook his head, a scornful sneer emerged under the Mask of Truth. He opened the Dimensional Gap with one hand.

Lefay, who was sealed, surfaced.

The dual-colored eyes under the Mask of Truth ignited like a wildfire, carefully searching for something. In an instant, Grimm opened the sealing apparatus and pulled out the necklace on Lefay's chest.

Lefay's soul was sealed inside the necklace, preserving her complete consciousness.

"Grimm, you found me, finally."

The necklace in Grimm's hand communicated with the Soul Echo which did not surprise Grimm. He asked, "Lefay, how can I save you?"

Lefay heaved a sigh of relief.

"Using the Self-Rebirth Sorcery that only machinists can own! However, based on my current situation, you need to make a trip to Sky City, or maybe ask a Stigmata Sorcerer to use the Void Fortress's…"

Perseverance and sorrow flashed across Grimm's dual-colored eyes under the Mask of Truth. He resolutely put the necklace back into the sealing apparatus.

Ignoring Nairo and Little Myna's rambling discourse, Grimm headed towards Millie's Demon-Hunter Castle.

"Grimm! How can you do that to my sister? She loves you so much!"

Mina's interrogation resonated as soon as Grimm opened the door. He smirked as he felt the attraction of the Body of Flame and teased, "Because the one I really love is you."

Mina, who was supposed to be angry, blushed bright red at Grimm's words.

"Really? I love you too, but… No! If you really love me, then please, let's remain friends, I hope you and my sister…"

Grimm sneered a contemptuous smile under the Mask of Truth, but the words blurted out of his mouth were like the sentimental dialogs orchestrated by a comedian actor.

"But, Mina, I love you. Let's be together, you are the most important person in my life other than Lefay!"

Mina bit her lips in embarra.s.sment and gazed at Grimm.

"Grimm, don't be like this, please."

Although Mina was refusing him verbally, she threw herself into Grimm's embrace and whispered timidly, "Okay, Let's be lovers, I don't care about your past, I don't care about your future, I don't mind if you have other women, as long as I'm always on your mind."

"Hmm."

Grimm suddenly pushed Mina away indifferently. He left Millie's castle and laid his eyes on the streets. An old sorcerer was walking leisurely on the street, smiling with ease and amus.e.m.e.nt.

With his emotionless expression, Grimm strode towards him.

"Huh?"

The old sorcerer stopped beside Grimm and asked in astonishment, "Did you use up your governing souls?"

"Yes, I did," Grimm replied sluggishly, waiting for the sorcerer to continue after him.

"Hahaha, what a coincidence! My expertise is the research on souls. I was only planning for a leisurely walk but I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting matter. One hundred Sorcerer Essences, and I'll help you restore your governing souls. How does it sound?"

In order to prove his credibility, the Demon-Hunter flashed the Rank-1 Honor Badge on his sorcerer's robe, his face cheerful and amused.

Grimm ignored the old sorcerer. He squatted on the ground, pondering on his bizarre encounters.

A thought suddenly struck him. He lifted his head abruptly.

"Destiny! The thing this world lacks is the cruel destiny of the endless world, that's why everything in this world seems to be revolving around me without any objective relations, hence, this so-called 'wonderful world' is created."

Grimm raised to his feet.

"How am I supposed to leave this Spectral World? It is as if I am cursed by the mind control sorcery under the Spectral Law."

"Sigh… Well, there's only one way, the most primitive, stupid and fundamental method," Grimm relented.

Grimm took a deep breath, waved his Sabbatic Goat Staff and struck his own head.
