Knowing Mila's timeline gives me something to work with. If she's selected, the Mayor will be invulnerable to almost all political attacks. If she's not, they will still be targeted by his local opponents, but to a lesser extent.
Now that everyone is finally gone, and Johan has locked the door to the room to keep everyone out, I return to my cultivation. The pure Death Energy with no trace of other cultivation energy is a whole new experience for me. It's working, merging my Domain and fortifying my cultivation simultaneously; it just feels very unusual. It's a if the pure energy is directly shifting my body further away from mortality and towards the Demonic, the Dark half of divinity.
