She may be addicted to fighting and killing but there was still logic behind her insanity.

Landing on the cliff where she was sitting with Kaden and Allura not long ago, Alyss dangled her legs off the side of the cliff while watching the Lords begin to fight.

Their battles mostly consisted of who could force the other to use their Resonance first. Once the Resonance was deployed, they\'d exit out of sight as the battle would continue in their personal realms.

Some would exit sooner than the others while some continued to fight in their realm.

Crossing her arms in annoyance, Alyss frowned as most of the fights, techniques and powers were all hidden away from sight.

\'Are you able to see what\'s going on in there using your fourth Sigil?\' She asked, hoping that Alice had a solution.

\'I can certainly try. But the second Resonance is a pocket in the Void wrapped in the powers of each person. I can look into the Void but I\'m not sure how I can look past this barrier.\' Alice furrowed her brows.

It was one thing to look into the Void and another to peek into someone\'s personal realm within the Void.

\'Well do you want to give it a try?\' Alyss offered as Alice nodded her head.

Flipping controls, Alice massaged her neck before taking a deep breath.

Closing her eyes, she sensed the Void around her as her fourth Sigil stretched across her skin.

Between the two of, them she was the most perceptive to the changes to the Void along with manipulating it using her fourth Sigil.

As it stands, countless sealed off realms could be sensed within the world. Each shaking from the violet exchanges held within and peeking into what was happening inside was impossible unless she tore down the barriers.

But if she were to do that, it would be no different to sabotaging whoever had deployed the Second Resonance and turning herself into an enemy.

Recalling all of the lessons she\'s learnt up to this stage, Alice calmed her mind and broke down her ability and things she needed to overcome.

By breaking down her basic understanding and usage of her ability, she\'ll be able to figure out another method to peer into the Second Resonance.

First of all, in order to peer into the Void with her fourth Sigil, she attaches her sense of \'self\' to the Void. In essence, her \'eyes\' and mind begin to float within this boundless darkness and observed the changes in the surroundings.

If she wanted to peer into a personal realm without breaking it, she\'d have to fuse this \'eye\' with the barrier of their realm. Preferably without them realising what was happening.

The only other instance of observation without people noticing that Alice remembers was Velouria\'s observation using Cayla.

To do that, she would tap into the countless strands of energy that filled the Abyss. Using Cayla as a medium to link with these strands and see what was going on.

Using this as a basis, Alice had a theory.

First, even the Void had strands of energy that attached to the Abyss itself. If she could locate and tap into this energy, it would allow her to blanket her senses on the outside of the barriers as though she was the Void herself.

And once she achieves this, all it takes is for her to \'corrupt\' the barrier and allow herself to merge with it to some extent in order to peer into the secrets within.

But there was one thing that made this possible.

Second Resonance was part of the powers granted by the Abyss!

As the successor and current owner of Cayla, she was able to affect the abilities given by the Abyss to some extent. Whether that be the strands of energy, activation of powers or even using Alyss to cancel it out, Alice had control over these powers.

Using her fourth Sigil as a basis and her current foundations to manipulate the Abyss, merging with the barrier should be relatively easy for her.

While Alice was experimenting with her abilities as both the successor and the possessor of the Seraphim of the Void Sigil, the Will of the Abyss observed her with a grin.

He could see the changes within Alice\'s body.

Every time she exerted the power of Cayla, the Crown or the mimicry of the Heart, her body would change to become a more suitable vessel.

However, what he didn\'t expect was the pace of her development. Her arrival in this memory within the Abyss was only for her to gain a link to the Heart. Yet due to her own actions and choices, the growth far exceeded its original expectations.

Another reason why he did not mind the current scenario going off script. If allowing Alice to do whatever she wanted achieved this kind of result, why should it stop her? If anything, he should encourage her to continue.

To keep growing and to keep developing her abilities.

Of course, there were things it could do to encourage her as well.

So far, the Abyss Lords have moved and so have the Apostles. But the Will knew that with Lua and Kaden taking the charge, the strongest Lords would fall eventually, even the reaper with enough teamwork.

He didn\'t bring them out simply to win this war but rather to stall.

The longer it takes for the Gods to move, the better. Because by stalling, Velouria\'s condition would continue to deteriorate.

She may be acting tough for the others, but the Will could see it. Her insides were a mess and the fact that she looked as though she was standing without issue was commendable as each breath would grant upon her searing pain.

Smirking to himself, the Will was about to turn his attention away when a pair of eyes locked onto him.

\'?\'

Raising an eyebrow in confusion, he noticed that it wasn\'t just one pair but rather two! Two pairs of eyes with very similar aura.

One belonged to the Eyes within Velouria, the current Cayla.

And the other? The damaged Eye of the Abyss belonging to Alice.

Her gaze was full of bloodlust, anger and raw unfiltered hatred.

However, it was brief, her moment of awakening was fleeting as the gaze soon closed once more. Even now, she was trying her best to repair herself as soon as possible, even if the other Eye was missing.

Thinking of this, an idea manifested in the Will\'s mind as a cruel smile appeared on his face.

The moment Velouria dies, what if he was to merge the pieces of her corpse with Alice?

What kind of amalgamation would that create?

Would the Eye be able to repair itself with a false copy? Would the fake heart become a better replica using Velouria\'s heart?

So many questions and plenty of time to contemplate on what he should do.

But for now, he simply had one request to the countless fighting amidst the battlefield.

And that was for them to entertain him until the end of this memory.

###

Searching through the countless strands of energy that filled the Abyss and the Void, Alice tested out her control by trying to merge her senses with the different strands of energy. Naturally, it was hard to tell the difference since the Void was mostly empty, especially at their current location.

With so many Lord level beings, Apostles and even Gods gathered in one location, not even the beasts that lurked in the Void dared to enter this area in fear of dying as collateral.

But little by little, Alice began to tell the difference between each of the strands through using second resonances as a landmark to understand where she was.

She wasn\'t quite confident in using it against the barrier of the second resonance just yet but so far, she\'s gotten used to utilising Cayla\'s ability to gather information.

During this, she felt Cayla stir momentarily which kindled hope in her heart yet this moment didn\'t last as she fell silent once more.

Noticing Alice\'s worry regarding Cayla, Alyss comforted her.

\'Maybe the scenario is bad for her since there\'s another Cayla here. I\'m sure once we get back to the real Abyss, she\'ll wake up for a talk. Even if its brief.\' Alyss reassured as Alice nodded her head.

\'I know don\'t worry. Setting that aside, are you ready? I\'m confident enough to try merge my senses with the barrier now but I don\'t know how long I can keep it up for. So when I\'m merging my senses, try to copy as much as you can from the lord okay? Or at least memorise it so we can work to replicate it.\' Alice grinned.

When they get out to the real Abyss, she wanted to see the surprises upon Ria and Luke\'s faces when she reveals several Abyss Lord level skills that she\'s learned during her time away.

Not only that, she also wanted to surprise Kaden and Allura. Seeing how they are right now, it felt bitter for Alice to see how far apart they were in reality.

\'Who do you think I am? I\'ll copy so much you won\'t even be able to digest it.\' Alyss laughed as Alice began to merge her senses with the barrier belonging to an Abyss Lord from their side.

Abyss Lord of Inferno.
