The news of Lucy's team clearing the first floor was soon made public. All kinds of journalists and important figures such as CEO's of popular companies or famous individuals wanted an audience with Lady Sinyu, who is the leader of the team.

The mansion gates were almost broken as countless people wanted to enter and possibly take some pictures of this famous team. It is said that the team was only C-class yet they managed to achieve the impossible for a team like that, after all, it was only a C-class team.

A team of this caliber should only roam in the 5 or 6th floor, not clear one out of the blue. Nevertheless, this incident attracted a lot of attention, whether from the public or the IHO itself.

Many journalists wanted to sneak in but Lady Sinyu dispatched an A-class guard who also was the head of the guards to detain and block the journalists as they were too stubborn and troublesome to deal with.

For two whole days, the gates were filled with journalists, even late at night so Lady Sinyu could not rest properly. Not that she was angry, in fact, she was pleased but curious and a bit confused.

It's to be expected, after all, no one but her knew her team's capabilities and by no means are they capable of doing that, the only reason is... the two new recruits.

On the third day, when the news was still spreading, another bomb fell in and the same team cleared the 12th floor. This caused an uproar, some calling it a fraud and blaming the team for lack of evidence and some were jealous.

The S-class teams did not admit the achievement of team's achievement and were rather arrogant, calling the team 'a bunch of liars' or 'pretending newbies'.

When they were clearing the 12th floor, something unexpected did occur. Two people followed the team inside the dungeon, the first one was Lady Sinyu's S-class guard, who was a bit more sneaky and hard to detect. The second was the same guy that was following Lucy the other day. His skills were not bad and if it was a Lv20 or Lv30 person, it would have been hard to sense his presence but it's his bad day to be following the wrong person.

On the 4th floor, the second invisible person was met with a flaming beast who appeared out of nowhere, he was dumbfounded and confused on how he was detected by when he saw the beast's level being '???' he knew he should run.

Unfortunately for him, the beast was not so merciful and it ended up with him being ripped to shreds. The man screamed for help but no teams were around and if there were some, none would be brave enough to face such a horrifying monster.

As for the last man, when they were about to enter the 12th floor, Lucy turned around, facing his direction and coldly said

"Isn't it time you show yourself? It's basic courtesy after all."

Despite hearing that, the man remained silent and immobile, he didn't know if he was sensed due to a mistake he made or the woman just randomly said that to check if there is anyone around and IT happened to be his direction she turned to.

Saku, Alin, and the dared Guan Gi were puzzled about Lucy's behavior, Saku even thought that Lucy was feeling a bit tired and probably hallucinating.

From the first floor until here, no monster appeared in the vicinity which was rather surprising. Usually, swarms of lizards or gnomes would be patrolling or randomly going around but this time, there was not even the sound of a monster.

Even the guard was confused and didn't think much of it at first but then, it got consistent and it seemed as if they were taking a stroll and not in a dangerous dungeon, he took note of that and kept following. Lady Sinyu instructed him to keep a close eye on Delia and Lucy but didn't seem them fight for even a second.

The truth is that Lucy got rid of them before they managed to show themselves, with her fire, she burned every last one of them and only black ashes blown by the wind remained. She did it because she didn't want to expose any of her abilities yet, she could use simple Earth Magic but she refrained and used this simple method instead.

Hearing no response and no reaction, Lucy lifted her hand and instantly, the ground, ceiling and even the air itself froze from her feet all the way to where the guard was.

Being an S-class guard, his reaction was pretty quick as he tried to jump away from this 'Absolute Zero' but his body didn't bulge when he commanded it to. The reality was harsh and life was cruel, by the time he looked down, his left all the way to his stomach was frozen by ice. He could feel the chilling coldness, his body shivered on its own and his senses became a bit dull due to the very cold atmosphere.

The floor transformed into a beautiful crystalline ground and small snow particles fell slowly on the ground, it was a breathtaking sight ruined by the man in the center who was trying to move around but it was futile.

Delia put her hands on her waist and stared at him with an annoyed look then said

"Are you deaf? I'm not as kind as her, you better talk or I'll not be kind anymore."

Hearing this, Guan Gi and the rest unconsciously gulped some saliva and remembered the time where Fiddle was trashed and played with like a toy by her, it was a sight never to be forgotten.

Delia obviously knew he was Lady Sinyu's guard but she didn't like his cocky attitude, or at least that's what she thought. From her idiotic point of view, he remained silent because he thinks he's stronger and doesn't want to bother with them. Thank god not all people share her opinion and a bit more open-minded.

A minute passed yet the man stopped struggling and stood there, motionless and as silent as ever. Lucy gave one final sigh before glaring at him with a suffocating killing intent. She gave him a final warning then acted

"What I hate most is being followed. This will be the first and last time I spare you, this is mercy but a warning. Delia."

Lucy gestured to Delia then condensed an Ice spear which quickly penetrated the man's shoulder, making blood splatter on the crystalline floor. The blood soon transformed into tiny red crystals, the man didn't emit a sound albeit being heavily injured. With Lucy's signal, the guard was teleported back right next to Lady Sinyu's, who was couldn't react for a couple of seconds and only snapped out of her surprise after the second S-class guard spoke.

...

The rest of the journey was stable and without worry, in less than 10 minutes the 12th floor was finished but Lucy told them to wait more time before coming out or else everyone would be suspicious as they entered it not even half an hour ago.

Clearing a floor is an amazing feat but doing it in less than an hour is an impossible feat, that's what everyone thought at least.

The day after, Lucy was sitting on the couch with Saly next to her. Saly was watching a commercial about the popular game Hell Gate whilst Lucy was meditating and trying and circulating her technique.

Randiun was snoring on the side and Delia with pouting lips sat on the balcony and drank a cup of Tea since Lucy forbade her from drinking any wine in the apartment.

Seeing that Lucy was busy meditating, Delia sneakily took out a bottle of wine and poured a glass before putting it back on in her storage, unfortunately for the Holy Goddess, who thought she got away with it and was about to enjoy the wine and relax, Lucy suddenly opened her eyes and glared at her.

"Did you check again?"

Delia sighed when Lucy spoke about another topic but she was still annoyed when she heard it nonetheless.

"For the love of your darling! Would you stop repeating the same thing? I already told you I checked the whole planet 5 times in the past three days, there is no sign of any lurking God, Divine being or anything of the sort, just stop nagging like an old woman.... *sigh* it's so tiring even for a God you know?"

Lucy's glare sharpened, for a split second, her eyes glanced back and forth between the glass Delia was holding and the woman, she ignored it for now and added

"How about the void outside of Earth's atmosphere?"

Delia gave her 'Are you kidding me look' with wide open eyes, for a couple of seconds she just stared at her with a dumbfounded look then retorted

"Are you crazy? I may be a Holy Goddess but I'm not that strong to search the whole void outside. This is an abandoned world and what does that mean? It means it is thrown into a secluded place, possibly away from all other realms so the whole area around here is most likely just void. Moreover, outside of Earth, the energy is made from Dark Matter, it's similar to Nether Energy but over time, it can kill Holy beings, it's like a deadly poison, a TIMEBOMB! If your darling was here, he would be able to go around freely but not me, what's more, it would take an eternity for a God to search all of it, you're asking the impossible...."

Lucy remained silent for a second before shooting Delia dagger eyes and saying

"... you talk too much. Also, didn't I say no wine in here? For a Goddess, you sure are deaf."

As Lucy said that, she appeared in front of Delia, who out of reflex, teleported hundred of miles away from Lucy but not after half of her hand which was holding the glass was frozen by Lucy.

Delia could only grunt unhappily and curse out loud while dispelling the ice with her Holy Light

"Damn violent woman! Curse you and your ice. Hmpf! If it wasn't for your Yin power, you wouldn't be able to hurt me..... wait till I get rid of that slavery bullshit! Then the age of Holy Overgod Delia will rise, yahahahahahaha"
