System vs Rebirth

"The Moon Goddess gives me a revelation. The end of your growth is near if you keep doing the same thing. Have you explored the actual power behind your destiny?"

Those words kept ringing in Anna's mind as she couldn't help but take another look at her current condition.

"The end of my growth… Is it because I was stuck in the peak Spirit Grandmaster before I died and after reaching that point, I wouldn't know what I should do after that? But I have a few things in my mind. It's true that I haven't experienced the strength of Spirit Transcendence, but it's not at the level I'm clueless about it."

Anna thought that the revelation wasn't that accurate. However, there should be a reason why the Moon Goddess said it that way. After all, she was a Goddess.

When she thought about it, she changed her perspective. "She directly mentioned 'growth' instead of any other words. The reason for my growth…"

When she thought about it, there was only one person that came to her mind. In fact, this might be what the Moon Goddess really wanted to say. That person was Noel.

That was right. In the future, Noel would have unlimited growth. He had two spirits and the size of his reserve would be more than twice of her, considering her assimilation rate wasn't perfect.

Even if she managed to maintain this rate of progress, she was bound to lose sooner or later.

Anna had been too focused on the competition to decide the acting head of the Ardagan Family that would end soon. But with their personality, the competition definitely wouldn't end at that point.

Even if she won, Noel would grow even more and at that time, she wouldn't be able to follow Noel's growth anymore.

When that thought appeared, she felt a part of her heart become empty.

"My growth is going to end soon, huh?" On the one hand, she felt hopeless. On the other hand, she thought there must be another way.

That was when the second part of the message entered the picture.

"Have you explored the actual power behind your destiny?"

Anna looked down for a moment. "Actual power… the power that allows me to regress is Old Ru's power, right? Now that I think about it, what happened to the shell? In my previous life, I didn't see Noel using that shell on me. What was actually the power behind that shell?"

It felt like the matter between her regression was more complicated than she originally thought.

When she thought about it, she recalled a certain scene.

Back then, Old Ru had known about her regression. At that time, she asked if Old Ru was the reason behind her rebirth or not. But Old Ru actually answered her "Yes and no."
