In a prison room, Arthur sighed deeply, looking at the red siren light. The alarm had been ongoing for hours, driving him crazy.

The underground prison of ECD was designed to house no more than 50 prisoners at a time, but these weren’t for ordinary inmates. Every prisoner here had positive mana or had once wielded extraordinary powers.

To ensure containment, the ECD employed extreme measures. Every prisoner was bound in a reinforced straitjacket, gagged with a mana-dampening mouthpiece, and collared with a mana-sealing choker, rendering even the most dangerous individuals powerless.

The facility had recently received two new inmates, who were delivered hastily amidst the chaos outside. Lacking the time for proper processing, the guards shoved the newcomers into a temporary observation cell, typically used for monitoring and assessment before permanent assignment.

Arthur was strapped to a steel crucifix engineered to siphon mana continuously from its occupant. His dull, weary eyes barely moved, locked in a vacant stare at another prisoner across from him, bound to a similar device.

The prisoner opposite him was a young man with a striking appearance. His deep brown skin was offset by bleached, curly hair. His thick lips framed an impossibly large mouth, capable of stretching to cover almost 90% of his face.

His name was Joe Somal, a former streamer who had stumbled upon his superpower during a reckless escapade through Southeast Asia. Joe’s antics for content creation had landed him in trouble with local authorities, and after extradition to the U.S., his dangerous abilities had sealed his fate as an ECD prisoner. By pure coincidence, his arrival had coincided with Arthur’s.

The containment protocols weren’t foolproof, however. Joe’s long tongue managed to maneuver around the mana-dampening gag, pushing the ball aside with casual defiance. The moment he freed his mouth, he began talking.

"Yo, white dude over there! Can you kick your slipper over here or something?"

Arthur remained silent. Both men were bound tightly to their crucifixes by thick leather straps, iron chains, and ominous chokers. Their feet rested on the cold steel base of the crosses, forcing them to stand as the devices pinned them upright against the wall. Though immobilized, they were positioned to face each other.

Joe, undeterred by Arthur’s lack of response, kept making obnoxious noises. He spat and stuck out his tongue.

"Yo deaf or what? Can’t yo see that pair of slippers near your feet?"

Arthur looked at his feet. A pair of slippers, prepared for the prisoners, was left behind next to the crucifix. However, they were 2 feet away, and his restrained legs couldn’t reach them. It would take more than effort to get those.

Arthur deemed the task impossible, so he ignored Joe.

"Yo, listen here, white boy! We both gonna die if yo ain’t cooperating! KICK. ME. THOSE. SLIPPERS!"

Again, Arthur ignored the plight. He was not interested in the jailbreak.

Seeing Arthur’s reaction, Joe gathered his saliva in his mouth and spat. The liquid flew and landed on Arthur’s face while Joe cackled.

Arthur glared at Joe for a moment. Although he was annoyed, he kept his cool. By closing his eyes, he returned to his world, abandoning his emotions. His mind recalled the past events and his interaction with Carn, contemplating his decisions so far.

What went wrong?

Was everything his fault?

Did he actually provoke someone he shouldn’t?

While Arthur was in his deep thought, the divine spirit manifested in front of him. Joe also could see her.

"YO, SEXY ANGEL BITCH! HELP ME! FREE ME!" He laughed and shouted, "If better, suck my dick, too!"

The divine spirit flinched and turned around. She glared at Joe.

But the guy wasn’t done talking yet, "Oh? You like that, huh? Come on, do it quick! Come to PAPA!"

The divine spirit had never been so offended before. She raised her arm and was about to erase Joe from existence. However, she paused and looked up.

Someone with strong holy power was approaching, and the spirit recognized her.

Rosa and Merlin were nearby.

The divine spirit smiled. She turned around and whispered to Arthur, "Help has arrived, my dear. Join them, and you’ll be out of this place."

Arthur opened his eyes and saw his contracted divine spirit. Then, he nodded.

The divine spirit was satisfied and vanished. A moment later, Rosa and Merlin teleported directly into the cell and found both prisoners.

Joe was startled, "HOLY SHIT! WHAT THE F-CK IS THIS?! WEEPING ANGEL?!"

Rosa turned to Joe, and her eyes flashed. Instantly, Joe turned into stone. However, Arthur was immune to her power due to his holy power.

Arthur gazed at Rosa and recognized her. He let out a long sigh.

Rosa spoke nothing. She glanced at the belts, chains, choker, and the straitjacket. Instantly, they turned into stone and crumbled to dust.

Arthur dropped down to the floor and casually removed the gag. He massaged his throat and coughed.

"Thanks… stone lady."

Rosa communicated with Arthur for the first time, talking to him via Aether telepathy.

"I heard you offended my master. To be honest, I should kill you here."

Arthur bitterly smiled, realizing his past oversights, "I see. That’s why you didn’t do anything back then. He was your boss all along. I guess that kiddy Carn Yunho is really a big shot, huh?"

Rosa scoffed, "You have two choices, detective. Swear allegiance to my master, or rot here in a monster den?"

Arthur glanced at the grimoire, which had been floating behind Rosa. He recognized it on the spot, but he pretended to ignore it. In an exaggerated manner, Arthur knelt on one knee and looked at Rosa’s pretty face.

"My country has already abandoned me and sentenced me to death. If your lord is willing to forgive my kiddy transgression and offense, I’m willing to follow him. I expect a 6-figure wage, though."

Merlin yelled at Arthur, "You idiot still worries about your pay when the world is about to end?! Seriously, if it weren’t because of your abilities, we wouldn’t have spared a glance at you!"

Arthur smirked, "Please, ECD-8888. I don’t expect the pay right away, but I’m concerned about the aftermath after whatever calamity you’ve been telling everybody. I need securities."

Rosa frowned at Arthur. Although she didn’t like him, she made her decision, "I’ll tell this to my master later, but I can’t promise you."

"That’s good enough. I’ll be following you."

"Good."

Rosa put Merlin in her arms and grabbed Arthur’s shoulder. Backtracking where she had come from, they teleported out of the prison, heading toward the next destination—ECD-77’s enclosure.
