Ansel of Hydral, the Empire's most notorious villain, devours a peculiar being known as a "Traveller". 
In doing so, he glimpses a future of despair, a foreordained future featuring a war-god who can shatter armies, a saint bearing great sins, a mage discerning the truth, and a heroine of unassailable morality... These formidable "she" would destroy his family, his empire, everything he holds dear.

Upon truly recognizing the cruelty and weight of fate, Ansel has an epiphany.

"If the Empire requires reform, then there is no need for a so-called protagonist. Armed with this knowledge, I can effect change far more efficiently."
"And as for you, the world's chosen ones..."
"If destiny dictates that you cannot be obliterated, then I have no option but to make you fall... fall with me to the very end of the abyss."

In essence, this is a tale of a villain rebelling against fate, taming the chosen daughters of heaven, all while orchestrating a transformative revolution in the world.

A Villain's Way of Taming Heroines

Nevertheless, these matters need not be rushed. Seraphina's awakening has necessitated a thorough recalibration of many of Ansel's immediate plans. She has now truly grown into her role as a formidable pact head in her own right.

Thus far, the crux of the Western expedition revolves solely around the question of Evora's survival.

This uncontrollable contingency must be utterly eradicated.

The Duke of Azuregold, seemingly reluctant to conclude their discourse and eager to further cultivate his rapport with Ansel, broached another subject: "Speaking of which, Miss Marlowe... she is truly a prodigy."

He marveled, his tone laced with admiration, "To slay a fifth-stage dragon with fourth-stage power, relying solely on her innate abilities without any external aid - it's an unprecedented feat of valor."
