Ramiel was conducting a personal inquiry concerning the situation that Strega encountered, he went out of the main city to go back to the villages he saw that were ruined by this so-called madness, but for him, it was not created by dark magic or powerful incantation.
it was a fundamental outcome of interconnected circumstances that led them to dive into the darkest part of the mind, being trapped in a place where they felt safe distorted everything they believed in, It may sound superficial to some but starving and seeing your life was spiraling out of control can push a person to the brink of madness. Strega witnessed the devastating effects of poverty, despair, and isolation on these villages, as they struggled to survive amidst what happened to their lives.
The once vibrant communities now lay in shambles, their inhabitants haunted by a sense of hopelessness that seemed impossible to escape.
Ramiel and the rest of the Guild volunteers knew this as soon as they entered their land. village after village sickness and death ravage their homes, and even if they were miles apart from each other signs of force torment and control were evident,
They were trapped within the confinement of their suffering, and the fact they could escape this was the main question that Ramiel could not comprehend, sorting to Cannibalism and conducting atrocious immoral acts had eaten away what was left of their principle and morality.
Although the artefact was blocking their communication paths with the rest of the restricting cities and limiting their ability to cast spells and magic, their basic instinct of survival should have helped them overcome this madness even though it had blocked their communication routes.
It was not acceptable to him, that someone had the authority and power to create a situation that would cause all the villages in each location to become like this, to lose their humanity, and resort to such despicable acts.
In response to the thought of innocent lives being corrupted by a malevolent influence, Raphiel orders Homunculus Imperial Enforcer Captain Sierra and Beta to send out the respective units to rectify this madness and save those who are still in danger, and he is devastated to see families torn apart and killed as a result of this situation, which he believes could have been avoided if they had been provided with adequate information and protection.
Beta asked his king to what degree should they assess their situation, because this was new to her also, Whoever made this was not bound by rational thinking, this was the creation my an insane being, and it was crucial for them to understand the motives and capabilities of their adversary to effectively combat this madness.
Beta knew that they needed a strategic plan in place, who even created this was enjoying the suffering and pain it made, whoever it was beyond understanding and needed to be eliminated as soon as they could,
Ramiel recalled a certain villain that he once read in the Earth comic book, a particular group or a single person who delighted in seeing others in pain and found torture without a reason pleasurable, and he also knew that this Joker wannabe was smart and irrational, gaining a foothold toward this kind of being was no longer applicable, who even made this happen would rather burn everything let the enemy take advantage of the situation to their favour,
This might be the first case of a being was born to be a psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic being with zero empathy, Facing this was no laughing matter they needed to know who this being of the group immediately and devise a plan to neutralize the threat before it escalates further.
It was clear that traditional methods of negotiation or reasoning would be futile, requiring a more strategic and calculated approach to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
and Ramiel also knows this madness will soon break out of its chains and wreak havoc again, summoning Antlions and many different creatures of death has a reason for it, spreading fear and panic to gain control and power over the situation.
no strategic plan was this pointless, it was meant to create suffering and spread madness by controlling the circumstances of their actions thinking they were doing the right thing, They were all being manipulated by a sadistic puppet master, pulling strings that drove them to become like this,
The city was not the main target, Ramiel pointed out the villages were the main focus of this cruel experiment Their attacks on the city were merely a distraction, designed to divert attention away from their true intentions. As the chaos unfolded, Ramiel realized that the puppet master's ultimate goal was to plunge the entire region into madness.
Beta used why to target small areas, Ramiel told her that it more easier to control those who were naive and lacked many things in life, rather than those who already knew how this world worked, meaning the citizen of the Strga manin capital were already influenced by this corruption at one point of their life.
gaining wealth fast is not created by being fair and hardworking, but rather by exploiting the vulnerabilities of others. The puppet master knew that by targeting these small areas, they could easily manipulate and exploit the desperate and vulnerable individuals who were willing to do anything for a chance at a better life.
Ramiel was a few meters away from the Village that was near the main capital, this was the place where they saw people being raped and tortured for pleasure, he understand that Echo loved torturing bad people but never once gave in to her sadistic desires to harm the innocent, even though she was capable of inflicting immense pain. Ramiel admired Echo's ability to channel her dark impulses towards those who deserved it,
Ramiel was standing on a mountain range that had a perfect vantage point over the area, he was able to see two other Villages while using his
Arcane Sonar Detection and Exploitation of Knowledge As far as he could see, luckily each settlement was not that far from each other The farthest would be the last town that was near the canyon walls surrounding their land,
Beta took out a piece of rolled parchment paper from her dimensional pocket storage, It was a blank map, and as soon as she opened it, miniscule particle-type insects came out from it, It looked like dust but it was moving of a particular pattern, soon the blank parchment paper slowly created all the needed information on the land they were in, images and vital information formed with the help of a very familiar black liquid,
Ramiel was amazed seeing this for the first time, he was watching the map form a geographical symbolic depiction of everything, Ramiel smiled and just felt delighted that Arcane created something that would make adventures and research lives even better, enhancing their understanding of the world. As he observed the intricate details and interconnectedness of the map, Ramiel couldn't help but imagine the countless possibilities it held for exploration and discovery. He eagerly anticipated the endless journeys and knowledge that awaited those who would utilize this remarkable creation by Arcane.
Enforcer Captain Sierra was already in position as they awaited confirmation from the scouts she sent to investigate the three nearest villages and town in thei location, Beta was still mapping the area with the help of the Insect spreading fast, and giving all the needed information to the Symbiote collective,
Even the number of citizens whether dead of alive was added to the map, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the situation. The collaboration between Arcane and the Enforcer team was proving to be highly effective in optimizing their operations and decision-making process.
Ramiel's real ability was created by his desire to protect those who are important to him at all cost, this was the very foundation on which he based his whole existence, Death to him is just another answer to solve a problem, knowing that there are being who pleasure themselves by inflicting pain and suffering like entertainment to watch and observe, he knew those who started this were still carefully watching, the rage in his heart was beyond the madness they created, his mind was formulating the proper answer to this enemy and the outcome was favourable to all those who were linked to him,
These made the Symbiote tremble in delight as they are still bound to their psyche, their loyalty was created by Ramiel who sought unquestionable devotion, as he saw this while he was under the care of the Lu Chen family, Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao were powerful and ruled with both understanding a fear, they do not face any situation by just using brute force, their power can never be seen, they don't need theatrics to sway their subjects, loyalty should never be questioned and death was the answer to those who do not follow their frame of mind whether they became tyrants or saviour of the world,
Ramiel contemplates these things, and understands that the choices he made were out of understanding and care, this time he needs to answer the enemy's question with a more violent and shattering brutality, Ramiel notice that on the map several people are gathered on a place and their level of power was not average, the map Beta was using was profoundly so accurate every detail was being indicated,
Wild feral monsters that roam and settle in a particular place were also being marked, The parchment paper was Lady Laerdya's attempt to recreate the device memory that was stored in the collective, in this memory the device has this technology that was called digital cartography,
and was seen in a particular item that was created in metal, glass, and technology that was ten times smaller in size, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and in Ramiel's collected consciousness he called it a Tablet,
Seeing that the map was almost done mapping 30 percent of the area, Ramiel gave Homunculus Imperial Enforcer Captain Sierra to clean the area and let Homunculus Imperial Judge Enigma pass judgment on those who broke the law that his mother and teacher created for them to follow,
