What kind of person is Ravenna Ziegler, truly?


    To the outside world, she is a self-obsessed madwoman, an arrogant and rude genius, a cold and indifferent machine.


    But in Ansel''s eyes, Ravenna, or the current Ravenna, possesses a divinity that is not of a god.


    She is not devoid of emotions, but she can discard them at any necessary moment, unaffected.


    Just like a moment ago, Ravenna was not indifferent to life. As she said herself, she has a very clear understanding of the weight of life, but she can still utter such cold and cruel words.


    Simply because, it is meaningless.


    Not all schrs of the Tower of Babel are indecisive and cautious, but the reason why humans are humans is because human emotions are always uncontroble.


    Just as Seraphina shattered fate with this brief strike, just as Ansel was captured by his own prisoner.


    But in Ansel''s eyes, Ravenna is the kind of person who can perfectly control all her thoughts and emotions, a real monster and "deity".


    The way he used to fight against fate in the Red Frost Territory wasrgely borrowed from Ravenna.


    Because long before trying to tame Ravenna, Ansel already had simr ideas, but he could never find a way to realize them. It was only after observing Ravenna extensively that Ansel truly found his own way to fight against fate.


    But from the current point of view, that method is notprehensive enough, because the pressure Ravenna bears cannot bepared with the pressure Ansel bears.


    She would at most be absolutely cold in constant rational analysis, but Ansel wouldpletely erase himself under the heavy strangtion of fate.


    However, it is undeniable that Ravenna has a rational thinking ability that is not inferior to Ansel''s, and all her rationality serves one thing—that is to realize the ideal in her heart.


    This is also why Ansel failed three years ago.


    Because at that time, he believed that he had shown the talent and charm that could make Ravenna submit, he believed that Ravenna would put her ideals below him, he believed...


    He believed that he had deep enough feelings with her—not love, but the feelings between seekers who have the same desire for a certain concept.


    Later, Ansel realized the reason for his failure: at this stage, Ravenna Ziegler would ignore and even oppose anything that hindered her from achieving her ideals and great cause, regardless of any talent, any rtionship, any emotion.


    The way fate made her a hero was to let the Tower of Babel copse and be destroyed, forcing her to be exiled, to pick up humanity again in the vast world, and to recognize what her ideal really is.


    In the end, she opened up an unparalleled great era with her own hands.


    This is Ravenna, a paranoid with intelligence and rationality that have also be "defects",like Seraphina, but totally opposite to Seraphina, who has not yet be a hero.


    At this moment, she stared at Ansel standing at the door for a full three seconds, then nned to leave without saying a word, and then—


    "duang~"


    Ravenna made some modifications to this puppet. For various reasons, she reduced her height a lot, so now she, directly bumped into some firm, stic and soft object that suddenly appeared in front of her.


    "Have some manners!"


    Seraphina, who blocked Ravenna''s way, grinned slightly: "Ansel came to find you, and you want to leave without even saying hello?"


    Themotion at the door attracted the attention of the high-levels of the Tower of Babel in the office. Hendrik was the first to notice Ansel in the calm ck and gold long windbreaker and hurriedly greeted him.


    "Lord Ansel! We didn''t know you were visiting the Tower of Babel, we are very sorry, we didn''t greet you..."


    Ansel looked at the man in front of him, who looked slightly tired but still tried to show respect. There was a yful look in his eyes that Hendrik couldn''t perceive.


    Years of hard work, long-term careful maneuvering... He has to carefully deal with the endless threats from the Etheric Academy, and also work for the unpredictable Evora. A fifth-stage sorcerer, a being at the top of the transcendent realm, who could live a perfect life anywhere, has actually be this unqualified politician.


    Apart from some long-umted temperament, where is the schr''s style?


    Hendrik Rundell, you are really... pitiful.


    "There''s no need to be so nervous." Saying somethingpletely different from what he thought, Ansel''s smile was refreshing, "I have read many of your works, Mr. Rundell. ''On the Essence of Matter'', ''More Possibilities for the Sixth Stage Advancement on the Heavenly Road''..."


    "Lord Ansel..."


    Hendrik, who was oppressed by Evora''s suffocating anger just now and hurt by Ravenna''s cold and cruel words, hadplex and unspeakable emotions surging in his heart.


    Respect and recognition were not scarce in Hendrik''s life.


    However, being treated as a tool or even a servant by the Elder Princess Evora, he could hardly believe that he could receive such treatment from someone of the same status as the princess.


    Especially as a top schr, he understood more clearly than most people in the world how terrifying the so-called "divine species" were. He was even more aware of how... incredible it was for someone like Ansel to appear among those monsters.


    "Thank you very much... for your recognition, Lord Ansel."


    Hendrik took a deep breath, his expression bing more natural and gentle: "It is a matter worth celebrating to receive your recognition."


    "But now is not the time to celebrate, is it?" Ansel raised an eyebrow slightly, "Evora should have told you the bad news."


    Hendrik''s expression froze for a moment, then he responded with a bitter smile: "It seems you must know as well."


    "Of course." Ansel answered naturally, "Because this matter originated from me."


    Everyone was stunned, except for Ravenna who was stopped by Seraphina.


    "It was I who proposed that the Etheric Academy should challenge you."
