[ Augusta: "Oh~ Look at how excited that Bishop is…" ]
[ Iuno: "It seems 'Eat Big Fin' is a sure thing, so who will be Ragunna's Blade King? ⦍HeadacheJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ King of Pufferfish: "Koo~ Koo~ Even if you know who it is, there's no time now." ]
[ Yinlin: "Although I don't want to butt in, there really are only a dozen seconds left… ⦍ShakesheadJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Camellya: "That's right~ And the Crazy Vegetable Person and Humorous Painter Girl behind are even harder to guess. It seems punishment is inevitable~ ⦍LaughingJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Iuno: ".....Could it be that this is my destined tribulation?" ]
[ Encore: "As for the one related to plants, could it be Nene?" ]
[ Verina: "Ah? Me... but I shouldn't have anything to do with being 'crazy', right?" ]
[ .....]
[ Ding! Time's up. Given that the guest Iuno only answered two candidates correctly within the time limit! ]
[ Iuno: "So, are you going to waive my punishment? Woohoo... Chat Group, you are simply too kind." ]
[ Therefore, the punishment has been reduced from the original Calamity Peak Stage lightning penalty to a Calamity Initial Stage lightning penalty. ]
[ Now, guest Iuno, please thoroughly enjoy the baptism of lightning. ]
Just after the Chat Group announced the punishment, everyone was momentarily stunned beyond belief.
After all, they had assumed the punishment would be the same as before—a fire punishment at the peak of the Overlord Peak Stage...
Now it had suddenly become the Calamity Initial Stage, and keep in mind, this was after it had been downgraded.
Otherwise, at the Calamity Peak Stage, how many people in the entire Solaris could actually withstand it?
No wonder the Chat Group had warned them before... rewards are precious, but life is worth more.

[ Iuno: "WHAT!?… Calamity Initial Stage? And a lightning penalty? Isn't this going to kill me? ⦍DespairJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Augusta: "Uh~ You can basically think of it as me going all out with my abilities to strike a full-power blow. Thinking about it that way, does it make it a bit easier to accept? ⦍ComfortsJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Iuno: "I... I really appreciate it. That actually makes it even harder to accept, okay?! ⦍CryingJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]

[ Soon, the screen in the sky projected the scene inside the Capitoline Hill Mansion, where Iuno was located.
At this moment, Augusta could still be seen by her side.
At this moment, Iuno also noticed the anomaly. To avoid affecting Capitoline Hill… she immediately flew out of the main residence at the fastest speed.
After coming outside, she leaped into the air… instantly accelerating and flying towards the outskirts of the entire Capitoline Hill City.
Because the purple lightning in the sky had already formed for the most part, and its scale was indeed somewhat terrifying.
If it were to fall into the Capitoline Hill City, although it wouldn't destroy the entire city-state, it would inevitably cause considerable casualties.
BOOM—!
BOOM—!
BOOM—!
"Ah~~ Ah~ Ah~ Ah~ Ah~"
When the lightning struck, its sky-shattering roar and Iuno's screams formed a stark contrast at this moment!
However, facts proved that the outcome was not what everyone had imagined.
When the purple lightning in the sky struck... it fell with absolute precision, hitting Iuno perfectly with zero margin of error.
Moreover, during this process, whether Iuno tried to dodge or defend, it was entirely useless.
So, in truth, even if Iuno hadn't run away, it wouldn't have affected any other people or things at all.
By the time the lightning completely stopped, Iuno had been blasted entirely pitch-black... and briefly lost consciousness.
As she fell from the sky, Augusta suddenly appeared to catch her, and the clip on the screen came to an end. ]

[ Chat Group Members: "...My goodness, it seems we really can't blurt out answers recklessly in the future! ⦍FearJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Ragunna Resident: "Speaking of which, did you notice just now that the Ephor and the Priestess were both as beautiful as celestial maidens?" ]
[ Jinzhou Resident: "I was already scared witless by that lightning punishment, I had absolutely no mind to notice anything else." ]
[ Septimont Resident: "The beauty of the Ephor and the Priestess is unparalleled in the world! ⦍ProudlyJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Camellya: "Hehe, But weren't the Priestess blasted pitch-black by the lightning just now~ ⦍NaughtyJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Aalto: "An attack of that level, even if one reaches the Calamity Class... they would probably lose a layer of skin." ]
[ Jinhsi: "Actually, if it's only that level… (My Purge of Light is not to be trifled with either.)" ]
[ Changli: "Xi, it's better not to easily try such things." ]
[ Scar: "Judging solely by what we see now, it seems somewhat impossible to defend against... (I just don't know if my spatial abilities would be useful.)" ]
[ Phrolova: "This time, the number of people rushing to answer will definitely decrease a lot. Maybe you'll have a chance next time." ]
[ Scars: "Good point, it seems worth a try." ]
[ .....]
[ Ding! Now, let's begin the Purgatory-level Q&A! ]

[ 1. Dark Cave Cooking Woman. ]

[ Please, Little Drifter, this guy, give the correct answers within two and a half minutes! ]
[ Answering correctly will earn you a self-selected reward. Answering incorrectly or exceeding the time limit will result in a corresponding punishment! ]
As the list of names was announced on the screen, even Little Drifter, who was originally very confident… quickly fell into deep thought.
As for the analyses in the Chat Group, he had no desire to refer to them at all.

[ Chat Group Members: "This… this… is this really a question a human can answer?" ]
[ Chat Group Tacet Discords: "No… even Tacet Discords definitely can't answer it!" ]
[ Chat Group Echoes: "Oi, oi, oi~ Don't say it as if we Echoes can answer it!" ]
[ .....]
However, at this moment, everyone in the Chat Group was in shock. At this moment, they all genuinely felt that no one could answer this question correctly.
