### Summary
The latest chapter subverts audience expectations by revealing that the papers Erden prepared for Letitia were not for divorce, but for the dissolution of her adoption, a supportive act to legally sever her from her abusive family. Meanwhile, Letitia’s dangerous astral projection ritual, assisted by her familiar Luciphel, leads her to a terrifying confrontation with the Grand Devil Astarode. His genuinely creepy appearance marks a tonal shift towards horror, moving away from the "handsome devil" trope. This encounter has solidified a dominant reader theory: that Erden himself is the unwitting host for Astarode. Fans speculate that the monstrous face Erden sees in his reflection is actually Astarode's, and the Halstead family curse is a form of containment, with the "artifact" in Erden's heart being the devil's sealed soul or mind. This "Horcrux" theory re-frames the central conflict, suggesting that curing Erden may require exorcising a powerful devil from his very body, a task complicated by Letitia's questionable decision to reveal her Halstead identity to the ancient evil.
