Inside the Opera Epiclese, Before the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale
"Well then, Focalors, tell me—what was your original plan to save the people of Fontaine?"
Dottore gazed at Focalors, speaking slowly and deliberately.
Focalors looked at the eerie power in Dottore's hands, her expression tense and serious.
She had already concealed Su Yuan's existence from him.
But if she hid even this, who knew what kind of madness he would unleash…
"Dottore!"
Neuvillette's commanding voice rang out, drawing the attention of both Focalors and Dottore.
Dottore turned around, his expression puzzled as he saw Neuvillette and Su Yuan entering.
"That's strange… Neuvillette, why are you here?"
"And the person beside you—who might he be?"
Neuvillette and Su Yuan both caught sight of the eerie power in Dottore's hands, their faces growing grave.
"Dottore, what exactly is your goal in disturbing Fontaine?" Neuvillette questioned him.
"My goal? It's nothing more than the pursuit of knowledge."
Ignoring Neuvillette, Dottore turned back to Focalors and continued,
"Focalors, my patience has its limits."
"If you still refuse to tell me the truth, I'll have no choice but to inject this eerie power into the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale right here and now."
Su Yuan couldn't help but speak up. "Dottore, you lunatic! Do you have no fear of death?"
"Death?" Dottore chuckled lightly.
"I am not so easily killed."
"If I can obtain all the answers in this world before I die—if I can satisfy every question in my mind—then perhaps death wouldn't be so terrifying after all."
"Speaking of which… who exactly are you? I have no memory of you whatsoever. Yet, judging from what I've seen, you seem quite close to Neuvillette and Focalors."
"So it was you who told them about the eerie power? And you even brought Neuvillette here to sabotage my experiment?"
"I have no reason to tell you anything."
Su Yuan replied, exchanging a glance with Neuvillette.
Neuvillette gave a subtle nod in response.
Focalors observed their movements and immediately understood their intentions…
Against Dottore, they couldn't afford to hold back.
From the very start, they had to unleash their strongest power!
At that moment, both Su Yuan and Focalors suddenly bowed low, pressing their foreheads to the ground.
Outside, the sky darkened, and rain began to fall.
At the same time, an overwhelming surge of eerie power erupted from Neuvillette's body!
Dottore's expression flickered between astonishment and exhilaration as he witnessed the scene.
He couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Neuvillette, you can manipulate eerie power as well? What a delightful surprise!"
But then, Neuvillette's voice rang out, filled with unyielding authority.
"Wretched mortal!!!"
"Who permitted you to stand before me and speak in such a tone???"
"Kneel—before me!!!"
With a thunderous crash, Dottore's legs buckled against his will, and he was forced to kneel heavily upon the ground.
He remained still for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.
"No… you're not Neuvillette."
"You're just like the others—weaklings whose minds have been enslaved by eerie power…"
"How disappointing. I had hoped you would provide me with a more interesting challenge."
Even as he knelt, Dottore showed no trace of fear.
Instead, he continued speaking, his tone as casual as if he were discussing scientific findings.
"I can sense it… the rain outside."
"So, your transformation into this eerie state is linked to the weather, is it?"
"How fascinating. Another valuable piece of information."
Then, his gaze shifted toward Su Yuan and Focalors, who were still kneeling, deep in contemplation.
"So this posture of yours… is it also a method of using some kind of rule to evade the attacks of an eerie-transformed Neuvillette?"
"It seems you all understand eerie power even better than I do…"
"Wretched mortal!!!"
"Neuvillette" roared with fury.
"You're still prattling on? Kneel and bow before me at once!!!"
As soon as Neuvillette's words fell, Dottore's body once again moved against his will.
His forehead struck the ground with force.
After three strikes, his mask cracked and shattered, revealing his blue hair and red eyes.
After five, his forehead was battered and bloodied, crimson liquid dripping onto the floor…
Yet, despite this, Dottore began laughing.
"Oh… so that's how it is. I finally understand why my body refuses to obey me and instead follows your commands…"
"But tell me—if a man cannot even control his own body, what else is left for him to control?"
As he was about to strike his head for the seventh time, his movements suddenly froze.
"I have absolute control over my body."
"Every inch of my skin, every component, every single cell—everything is within my grasp."
"This foreign power of yours… get out of my body!!!"
In the next instant, Dottore's right palm surged with eerie energy, which he then used to strike his own body with tremendous force!
Immediately, thick clouds of crimson and jet-black smoke erupted from him—the eerie power that Neuvillette had imposed upon him was being forcibly expelled.
"So, all you did was inject your eerie power into others to make them obey your commands…"
"Hah… I've done that before myself."
Su Yuan was shocked by Dottore's words.
Indeed, those infused with Dottore's eerie power would inevitably submit to his orders…
So this so-called "Words Become Law" ability of Neuvillette—was it actually operating on the same principle?!
Seeing Dottore dispel his power and refuse to obey his commands, "Neuvillette" furrowed his brows in anger.
"You… wretched mortal!!!"
"Heh, Neuvillette, you've lost even your own original reasoning. What right do you have to speak with me?"
Dottore sneered coldly.
"There's something I've always wanted to try, but I never found the right opportunity or a worthy opponent..."
"This will be my first time attempting it, and it will serve as valuable experience for my future understanding and mastery of eerie power."
As he spoke, Dottore gathered a mass of eerie energy in his right palm and slowly pressed it against his own forehead.
"Watch closely—this is how eerie power is meant to be used!!!"
In the next instant, an overwhelming surge of eerie power erupted from Dottore's body!
Smiling, he slowly rose to his feet.
"So this is what it feels like to have eerie power coursing through my entire being?"
"Only the kind and the weak allow themselves to be controlled by eerie power…"
"I can clearly sense it… My mind is filling with all kinds of deranged and ruthless thoughts..."
"But compared to the me from before…"
"This isn't crazy enough! Not wild enough!! Not cruel or brutal enough!!!"
At this moment, both Su Yuan and Focalors couldn't help but lift their heads, staring at Dottore, who was now shrouded in eerie energy.
The sheer intensity of his aura… seemed no weaker than that of "Neuvillette" himself.
Dottore had actually done it—he had embraced eerie power while retaining his own mind and consciousness.
