"I'm really sad to hear you say that. You should know that this was also a deep physical exam."
"Ah, that..." Hearing it was a physical exam, Jean immediately fell silent.
"Look at this data, you're really reckless. You actually swallowed energy that was more than 10 times your own in both quality and quantity, and you even forcibly absorbed the accompanying Talent Instinct."
"Hehe (*^▽^*)."
"I'm not praising you. To think you wanted to directly seize energy that is over a hundred times yours when simply multiplied—as expected of someone who awakened the Greed characteristic from the start, you truly are greedy enough."
"Hehe (*^▽^*)."
"Stop laughing like an idiot."
"No, this is a side effect."
"..." 'D' acted as if she didn't see it and continued:
"This time, fortunately, when the battle began, those Infected took you as an object of faith and prayed to you. Although you are an Evil God Cub, you are still a god, so you absorbed these prayers and ultimately succeeded. To put it bluntly, it was all a coincidence."
"Hehe (*^▽^*)."
"Ugh, forget it. You gave back to them directly in the end, so you don't owe anything. That's good; using the Power of Vows will eventually lead to being weighed down by them. However, this wave of forced elevation also raised you by a level. Remember to adapt well when you go back to avoid any mistakes. Also, I assume you won't listen even if I tell you not to act recklessly, but remember not to let the people who care about you worry too much."
Jean nodded seriously.
"Thank you (*^▽^*)."
Just then, Jean seemed to suddenly remember something and asked 'D', "Can I ask? What direct connection is there between a physical exam and tickling?"
"None, it was just more interesting that way."
Jean directly grabbed 'D's' shoulders and shook her: "Give me back that 0.1 milligrams of gratitude I just felt!!!"

Under 'D's' shameless smile that showed she didn't care at all, Jean finally set the matter aside for now. Next, she found an open space near the desk and released Talulah's body.
"How can she be saved? By the way, where is her soul?"
"Her soul is currently being purified in the bottom layer of the Underworld. After all, she suffered that level of Deity Pollution."
"How long will that take?"
"That's hard to say, it all depends on her own will. However, in terms of soul purity alone, there won't be a problem. Alright, you should take your White Rabbit and go rest. As for treatment, just continue with your current method and it will be fine."
Jean also looked toward FrostNova, who was watching with a worried face, and nodded to her to reassure her.
At this time, a woman wearing a maid outfit stepped forward, placed Talulah's body into a Crystal Coffin, and opened a spatial window to send the Crystal Coffin inside.
"Nice to meet you, Lord Jean. I am Meido, Lord 'D's' maid, and also the integrated manager of this United Underworld."
"Ah, nice to meet you, Miss Meido. I am Jean. Meido... Maid..."
"Yes, it is indeed a low-tier old pun. The guy who came up with the name back then was a complete idiot," Meido said bluntly.
"Cough, cough, cough." Over there, 'D' seemed to suddenly choke and started coughing.
"Alright, Lord Jean, Miss FrostNova's body needs more rest. The Universal Portal is not far outside the door. From there, you can return directly to your room, and you can also come here through your room door later."
Jean nodded, picked up FrostNova, said "Don't worry" to her, and after bidding farewell to Meido and 'D', she hurriedly returned home.
