The dark clouds that covered the sky retreated, and sunlight shone down on the Desolate forest.
Yawn!
Alice stretched after waking up. She felt refreshed as if she had just taken an extremely long nap; not only that, she felt stronger than me, which brought a smile to her face until she remembered what happened before she lost consciousness. She immediately lowered her head to check her chest, only to find out that it was perfectly fine apart from a bloody hole left being by Incursio's sword.
''Oh? Finally, the sleeping princess woke up.'' Incursio's voice rang out next to her, forcing Alice to look in her direction. There she sat leisurely with her back against the tree. She still had that annoying smile on her face.
For a moment, Alice was overwhelmed by emotions and shouted.
''Why didn't you kill me? Are you perhaps looking down on me?"
Incursio's expression instantly turned cold, and she remained silent for a while. Even Alice stayed silent as an awkward silence filled the air, leaving only the sound of swaying leaves.
At last, Incursio opened her mouth and asked,
"Are you an idiot?"
The unexpected question caught Alice completely off guard so it took her a little time to return to her sense.
''Ugh! I'm not an idiot.'' She responded, finally calm.
''No, you are; if you weren't, you would have understood after waking up and feeling the change inside your body that I did what I did because of something, and after that, you should have asked the question, what did you to me instead of that dumb question.'' Incursio rebuked Alice before explaining to her.
''Ugh!" Alice felt ashamed and lowered her head. Incursio wasn't wrong; normally, after waking up and feeling that something was different, she should have done a more in-depth check-up before asking for an explanation from the one responsible for this because this happened after Incursio's sword pierced her heart, giving her the illusion that she was dying.
Rationality was one thing, while her emotions were something else. Overwhelmed by emotions, she couldn't properly think, so she ended up saying something she shouldn't have said.
''Forget it; just check your status before we continue,'' Incursio said, helping the troubled Alice. She understood that when you're overwhelmed by emotions, you could do something normally you wouldn't do. Besides, one tends to forget that while Alice has a teenage body, her mind is still that of a child; she is still learning.
Alice slowly nodded before immediately checking her status, and she got pleasantly surprised by her new status.

Finally, she became a Demi-God, just like her master. She became one of the most robust existence in the world. Not only was she now one of the strongest existences, a demigod, but her mana's reservoir had also increased, and few of her stats experienced a drastic increase as well, making her stronger than normal early Demigod.
Although Alice was happy, she pushed this happiness aside to ask questions.
''What did you do to me? Why did I become so strong suddenly?" Alice's eyes were sharp as she asked these questions. There was a hint of coldness mixed within.
However, Incursio was unfazed; she even put one leg above the other and relax before responding.
''Wow! You are more level-headed than I thought.'' She praised Alice before finally deciding to answer her questions for real.
''I know you must feel a certain urge to destroy things the more you use your strength. The urge to swallow things.''
Alice was shocked because, for a while, she kept having this feeling of wanting to swallow everything. It began right after leaving Exodus. She hadn't told her master just because she thought it was a temporary thing; however, it wasn't, and one night, as she was on a mission, she woke up early in the morning to see bloodied hands and blood around her mouth. She was scared, but no matter how much she tried, she couldn't recall anything, and she dropped the matter soon. But she remembered that morning she felt satiated like never, almost as if she had eaten herself until she was full. It was a disturbing feeling she wished not ever to remember.
Seeing Alice's emotions through her eyes, Incursio knew she must have experienced the same thing as the other subjects.
''It's called the gluttony state,'' Incursio said before explaining what this meant. It is a state that resulted from the after-effects of the chaos seed (A/N: Maddog did this.) that made you go berserk, turning you into a beast capable of swallowing anything and everything to satiate your overwhelming hunger. Incursio explained that she took care of the problem, converting the side effect into XP and letting Alice's body consume it.
The gluttony state was located in the chaos seed, which was located deep inside the heart, and to be able to reach it, she could only pierce her heart, and she must do this when the chaos seed was less expecting it if not it would have defended itself, moving the gluttony state away. Although it was called chaos seed, it was more like a parasite that leeched off its host while corrupting its host mind while at the same time providing immense strength; however, there is a catch, the more you rely on it, the more corrupted you'd become, only exceptional beings like Incursio and some others were not corrupted. As a reward, they could use the real strength of the chaos seed, namely the purgatory form and the complete form of the purgatory skill.
Alice was not like Incursio, but she still managed half to subdue the chaos seed with her master's effort however, the tide was changing because of the gluttony state. It would have worsened if Incursio hadn't intervened.
Alice was grateful for Incursio's help, but there was a question she was burning to ask, and Incursio could feel it.
''Go ahead and ask.'' She said.
Alice nodded and immediately asked.
''I'm grateful for your help, but why did you help me?"
''It's because we are sisters, and I want your master to be my sugar daddy.'' Incursio calmly answered; she even put a smile on top of it.
''Huh?"
