The eighth year of the FT Dawn Era would be recorded as the Year of Bloodshed. That was because this was the year that the final Holy War began. The following days were destined to be filled with rivers of blood.
Currently, I was in an excellent mood as I looked at the bright sunlight.
With Didina's guidance, we finally arrived at the rendezvous location. Of course, this wasn't the reason why I was in such a good mood.
"You must be in a good mood to be able to get rid of Eliza, right?"
"Nonsense, I'm actually quite sad."
"… Saying that while smiling isn't convincing at all. I need to tell her."
"… Harloys, it's great that 'Father' is here, isn't it? How much money will the fairies pay for this explosive information?"
After a short period of silence, we came to an agreement. The silly cat and I understood each other.
"Why do people have to hurt each other?"
"The world must be filled with love."
We nodded and came to an agreement, and everything was gone with the wind … Fine then, to be more reasonable, it would be better if we didn't all die together.
That's right, Eliza had already helplessly left the team. We were using a teleportation portal to the mortal plane. As a Demon Lord, it would be impossible for her to leave, so she could only temporarily stay in the Chaos Abyss.
Regrettably … but happily, this was indeed only temporary. When the demon wave arrived, the mortal plane would be directly connected to the Chaos Abyss. Even Donatis would be able to jump out from the Chaos Abyss, let alone Eliza.
I also casually gave Eliza some missions to make things difficult for our enemies.
However, what was surprising was that Didina, who was also a Demon Lord, was actually able to easily teleport through the Dimensional Door. It was as if she didn't care about the dimensional laws at all.
"Don't be so surprised. Succubi don't have much strength. I'm probably weaker than even a Myth Superior Elf, nor am I some Demon Noble. Why would she stop me?"
Actually, I wasn't the only one who was surprised. Adam, Marguerite, and even Harloys herself were all looking at Didina in astonishment. According to their estimations, since Didina was the Immemorial Elf Emperor, just her inherited memories and knowledge, along with the passage of so many years, should have been more than enough for her to reach the peak of power.
"He is him, and I am me. Everyone chooses a different way of life. I think it's good now. At least the Legendary demons I heard about have fallen, and I don't have to fight. I'm still alive."
The reincarnation of a hero might not necessarily be a hero. The reincarnation of a wise and farsighted saint might also be a butcher. The reincarnation of the reincarnation and reincarnation were two completely different individuals. Logically speaking, this was correct, but I still felt that something was off.
Since he was living in the Chaos Abyss, he should have understood the law of the jungle. Succubi were treasures to other species, but to the powerful demons who thought with their muscles, succubi were useless subordinates.
Living under someone else's roof and borrowing someone else's power wouldn't be a long-term solution. Who knew when you would meet an idiot who would kill you in order to become famous? Didina didn't seem like such an idiot.
Moreover, as long as she absorbed the magic knowledge in her memories, she would be able to become a powerhouse. Her identity as a succubus would not restrict her from practicing magic.
I looked over at her, but Harloys shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't know, but rather that she knew what was going on and didn't want me to continue asking.
I could only helplessly shrug my shoulders as I inwardly sighed.
Ever since Harloys met Didina, she had stopped using her cat form. And if she truly became the Empress, it was likely that her cat form would no longer exist.
"That won't happen. Even you're capable of leaving everything to me. I can do the same."
"… That might not necessarily be the case. I don't have any official status right now. How could the Empress of a country leave just like that?"
"Tsk, what Empress? There's only one Gold Elf left, and all the Superior Elves are below me. No matter what I do, I'll still be the symbolic Elven Empress. Even if I'm not a puppet, I'll still be nothing more than a flower vase. How boring. I can just leave a clone in the royal palace. Don't even think about getting rid of me. "
The silly cat suddenly leaned over to me. She was currently two heads taller than me, and her exquisite golden crown gave off an air of nobility. Her dress was extravagant, and her golden proportions made her look very feminine. Her blonde hair even had the fragrance of laurel.
"Cough, Harloys, could you tell me about the latest situation with the elves? I'd like to know which elders are still alive. Perhaps they'll be able to help. "
Harloys instantly had a bitter expression. How dare you tell your father that the Gold Elves were already finished? You were such an unfilial child. You deserved it.
"… You deserve to be single for the rest of your life."
Little Red's retorts were always so difficult to understand. Right now, she had transformed back into her Little Red Dragon form. However, compared to her previous one-meter-long infant dragon form, she was now roughly three meters long.
Little Red had actually gained the most from this short trip to the Chaos Abyss. At her level, it would be incredibly difficult to improve any further. Although Little Red's power level seemed to have regressed for a short period of time, this was basically a change in her species' bloodline. This would greatly increase the upper limits of her combat strength. This was something that would be incredibly difficult to improve no matter how much she cultivated.
In a way, this was the same as me changing my bloodline. It was just that Little Red's growth speed was much faster.
I had originally come to the Chaos Abyss in search of power. Although my power level had greatly improved, I hadn't made any progress on the four most important magic swords apart from accumulating a bunch of Fate Points.
"Tsk, even if I have Fate Points, I can't exchange them for blueprints and materials. System, you're so useless."
System … the God of Order's abilities were limited. All she could exchange for were equivalent items through karma, items that already existed. For me, who was already forging a new path, her Fate Points would be of limited help.
The Holy War was about to begin. The four magic swords were only half complete, and I was still far from reaching SemiGod rank. Although I acted like I didn't care, I was actually quite anxious.
SemiGod rank wouldn't only increase my power level. If I reached SemiGod rank in the upcoming demon wave, I would be able to use a mega powerful trump card. This would be a foundational change.
If I just smoothly created a Myth-ranked weapon and forcefully reached SemiGod rank, not only would there be endless problems, I would also be quite unwilling to accept it.
[… It's not wrong to say that you're always making mistakes in the dark. Death and Ice are both the power of Chaos. There's an old veteran demon in the Chaos Abyss, the Elven Empress, who's the rightful successor of the Chaos Elven Empire. She's the one who taught elemental magic to the humans. Why don't you ask her instead of me?]
Indeed, Harloys hadn't even reached adulthood when she died. It was only after she was revived that she began to work hard at learning magic and mastering her own power. Logically speaking, she was no match for her ancestors, but for some reason, ever since I learned of Harloys' true identity, I felt rather awkward when looking at Didina …
[Besides, since you've already asked that bastard to help you ask Aloyo for something, just relax and wait. I'm quite confident in him …]
I was quite confident in him as well, but I was even more confident that he would go overboard. He wouldn't be Beifeng if he didn't end up doing something intolerable in the end.
"… Don't even mention it. The Sacred Lake where the elves were born is still being polluted. I don't even dare to admit that I know him. Otherwise, all the elves will fight me to the death."
Lake Ardelle was a holy land controlled by the silver elves. Legend had it that the Mother Goddess had created the first elves, but now … now, a certain Beast King was causing trouble in the lake, polluting the water and affecting countless divine beasts. This was the foundational reason why Beifeng was no longer able to stay in the mortal plane.
Currently, the Moonwheel Capital's High Priestess Cecilia was having a similar problem. She hated that legendary Beast King to the bone.
"Damned bastard, damned bastard, how am I supposed to explain this to the others …"
Cecilia was currently riding on a Unicorn. Her holy priestess attire was eye-catching. She was also in the prime of her youth, but she had an expression filled with shame.
As more and more aura of the Chaos Abyss leaked out from the dimensional cracks, the Moonwheel Capital's citizens became more and more panicked. But today, they finally received some reassurance.
The silver elves' reinforcements had arrived. Not only did they bring large numbers of elite Silver Elf Knight and Air Knight, they also brought large numbers of Nature Divine Beasts. These were all the Elven Gods' favored children. They were truly powerful combat strength.
Deer, elephant, bear, and so on. These Nature Divine Beasts usually had the appearance of natural beasts, but they were even more holy and beautiful. They also possessed powerful strength bestowed by the heavens.
In the past, only the most devout elves would be allowed to enter the Sacred Lake to receive divine blessings. Only then would they be able to see these holy and beautiful Nature Divine Beasts. Now that they saw these Nature Divine Beasts in their own city, the elves were naturally overjoyed and their morale was greatly boosted.
Everywhere these Nature Divine Beasts passed by, lush green grass would appear like a carpet. No matter what season it was, flowers would naturally bloom. The beautiful Nature Divine Beasts gave off a natural glow. Just seeing them would make people feel reassured.
However …
"Mommy, why are those Nature Divine Beasts' bellies so big? Are they going to give birth to little beasts? I can go see … "
Before a young elf could finish speaking, his frightened mother covered his mouth. This was a fact that everyone pretended not to see. How could he say it out loud!?
* Plop. *
A certain High Priestess with good hearing fell off her horse … onto a unicorn.
