Daniel never imagined that the first thing Isabella would do after making her wish was to stab herself. However, the next moment, Isabella's body split into two separate bodies.

The scene before Daniel made him finally understand why there was both an Isabella and an Elizabeth. It was clear that the newly split body was a kind of doppelganger, and it was also the "Fake God Isabella" that Daniel had encountered before—Elizabeth. The original body, the one Daniel was familiar with, was the Isabella who would eventually become a demigod.

But strictly speaking, this Isabella was the product of a wish granted by the Desire Core.

On the other side, Isabella gave Elizabeth a big hug.

"My dear sister, from now on, we are truly sisters," she said. "Don't worry, I will make sure to protect you well from now on."

Witnessing this bizarre scene, Mist had already readied herself for battle. She looked toward Isabella with a wary expression.

Mist could sense that the Isabella standing before her was no longer the Isabella she had once known. This was a clear indication of how terrifying the Desire Core could be. The new Isabella that had just been born made Mist feel an overwhelming sense of danger.

In an instant, she used her Mist ability to conceal both herself and Daniel's presence.

At this moment, Daniel still stood where he was, showing no signs of movement, but in truth, he was fully prepared for any potential outcome.

Meanwhile, Isabella, although unable to sense Daniel and Mist's presence, wore a seductive smile.

"You don't have to be so nervous," she said. "I'm not your enemy."

"Although I don't know who you are, since you're here with my sister, I'll consider you both as friends."

"Of course, even if you were enemies, I would let you leave. After all, without you, I would not have come into being, right?"

At that moment, Elizabeth, still somewhat slow to accept the fact that she had become a doppelganger, finally came to her senses. However, she seemed to recall something, and turned toward her "sister" with a warm smile.

"The name Isabella is full of curse and sorrow," she said. "Since you like it so much, from this moment on, you shall be called Isabella, and I will be Elizabeth."

"My dear sister, welcome to the world."

"I think it's time for us to say goodbye to these two friends. After all, we have more important things to do."

Elizabeth gave a gentle nod, then waved toward Daniel.

"Since it's come to this, we'll leave for now. If fate allows, we'll meet again someday."

With those final words, both Isabella and Elizabeth disappeared from the Desire Mine and left the Desire Abyss.

After watching them leave, Daniel wore a strange expression on his face. Because at this very moment, within his Time Corridor, there was still another Isabella trapped.

Daniel had considered what might happen if he were to release the demigod Isabella, but as soon as that thought crossed his mind, he was gripped by an overwhelming sense of dread. It felt as though the world would collapse if he truly let her out.

Daniel snapped his fingers, and in an instant, he appeared at the exit of the Desire Abyss. However, when he arrived, he found the entrance covered with piles of severed limbs and demigod souls.

Upon seeing this, Daniel immediately understood who was responsible. Clearly, the killing methods used were identical to those of the original Isabella. It seemed that the Isabella he had come to know later had fully revealed her true nature.

The question now was whether Elizabeth, with her gentle personality, could truly accept this.

Outside the Desire Abyss, Elizabeth looked at the nearly mountain-high pile of bodies, a slight dissatisfaction on her face.

She glanced at Isabella and couldn't help but speak up.

"Isn't killing a bit too much?" she asked. "They didn't actually attack us, did they?"

"Besides, you know that they only stared at us because of our beauty," she added.

Upon hearing this, Isabella casually waved her hand.

"My dear sister, why are you thinking so much?" she said. "They were just little ants. It's no big deal to kill them."

"Besides, their gazes made me uncomfortable, so I had every right to kill them," she continued with a dismissive tone.

"My dear sister, you're too kind. But this is not good for you, you know!" Isabella teased with a smirk. "Don't worry though, I'll protect you well in the days to come."

Meanwhile, Daniel returned to the fourth layer of the Desire Abyss.

When Mist saw Daniel's return, she let out a relieved sigh.

"I'm glad you're back," she said. "I could feel that the one born from the Desire Core is a very formidable opponent. If I hadn't covered our presence just now, the consequences would've been unimaginable."

Mist rubbed her chest, still shaken by the encounter.

Daniel nodded solemnly. "That's right. The Desire Core really created something extremely dangerous."

"So, do you still want to make your wish?" Daniel asked, looking at the Desire Mine in the distance.

Mist hesitated for a moment, glancing nervously at the Desire Mine. It seemed she was starting to understand the rules of the Desire Mine. Simply put, the Desire Core was not something that could be obtained by just any one person. It seemed to remain fixed within the Desire Mine, only appearing when certain conditions were met.

Rather than saying that Isabella had personally mined the Desire Core, it would be more accurate to say that the Desire Core had actively presented itself to her.

"Do you think it's possible that the Desire Core decides to appear based on the difficulty of the wish being made?" Mist asked, her voice tentative.

Daniel thought for a moment before gently shaking his head.

"I can't fully grasp that idea right now," he said. "But what I can tell you is that, based on Elizabeth's fate…"

"At some point in the future, Elizabeth will die at Isabella's hands."

"In a way, Isabella will have become a true god, but the one who truly becomes a god is not Elizabeth."

"She has been possessed."
