From the very beginning, Theresa had felt uncomfortable when she heard the concept of 'Bloody Battle Devil Sector' from the bards.
The Realm of Devils with a "harsh environment, barren products, and dark days" and the Devil Clan with a "ferocious nature, astonishing combat power, and the ability to transform into a locust-like army at any time to devour the glorious world" were two contradictory concepts.
Since the environment was harsh and the resources were barren, how could it support a large population, a developed civilization, and a powerful army that could threaten the safety of the human world?
It was true that, in the early stages of the development of many planetary civilizations, powerful nomads had been born on the barren prairies and deserts, who threatened the safety of the agricultural civilizations.
But that was a phenomenon unique to the age of cold weapons. Besides, the nomads were not entirely barren.
At the very least, in terms of 'horses', the most important strategic resource, the nomads had absolute advantages compared to the agricultural civilizations.
However, the Cultivation civilizations and the wizardly civilizations that had developed techniques and spells had long passed the age of cold weapons and entered the new age of remote attacks with hot weapons.
No matter how brutal the so-called devils were and how high their fighting will was, they would be obliterated under the bombardment of large-scale spells.
When a civilization reached such a level, what mattered was the comprehensive national power.
To be more exact, it was the efficiency of resource collection and energy absorption.
In that regard, the sunless Bloody Battle Devil Sector had no reason to be better than the glorious world that boasted a stable star.
Unless …
"The Bloody Battle Devil Sector is not a natural product but a man-made product. It still retains part of the resources and technologies of the fleets of the Primitive Civilization in exile thousands of years ago. That makes sense."
Theresa was deep in thought.
It was just like the Land of Sins, her hometown, had the incessant supplies from the City in the Sky. That was why so many ferocious sinners in the Land of Sins were supported and turned into a playground for the Immortal Cultivators.
It was also like the Tian Yuan Realm, Grandpa Yao's hometown. The Blood Demon Sector on the opposite side was also barren and short of resources. However, the Blood Demon Sector, known as the last kingdom of demons in the Pangu universe, boasted the heritage of the Demon Beast Empire in the Great Dark Age for thirty thousand years. That was why it could support an iron army that far exceeded the load of the environment in violation of the common sense of economy and productivity.
"It's getting more and more interesting. Let's keep watching."
Theresa took out a 'Magic Crystal Smoke Signal' from her pocket.
It was a magic item that looked like a firecracker and a kaleidoscope.
It was like a signal flare, but the content was much richer. It could transmit information dozens of miles away.
Theresa grabbed the tail of the Magic Crystal Smoke Transmitter and was about to twist it open at the dome.
Suddenly, with a boom, she saw a dazzling firework bloom above the dome not far away.
"It's Princess A Xia!"
The Magic Crystal Smoke Signal was not as simple as a signal flare. It could also be mixed with a unique identity symbol or simple information according to the magic power input by the user. Theresa could tell at a glance that this was a distress signal sent by Princess Summer.
After a few days of interaction, she had a good impression of this kind but weak girl.
Looking at the little changes that were happening to the princess in his hands, he felt an indescribable feeling.
It was like …
The thrill of snatching Black Jack's love away and the sense of achievement of "raising a princess", it must be both, right?
She couldn't help it. Now, she could only find the illusion that she was still a real man from Princess A Xia.
"Princess A Xia, hold on, I'm coming!"
Theresa immediately ran in the direction of the Magic Crystal Smoke Signal.
They weren't far from each other. After turning a corner, Theresa heard Princess A Xia's exclamation and the roar of a magic beast.
She saw Princess A Xia running away in a panic with a demonic beast as big as a small mountain behind her.
This guy …
It was like a wild boar wearing iron armor, with sharp bone spikes growing out of the gaps of the iron armor. Its scarlet eyes emitted a bloodthirsty light, and a foul stench came out of its mouth and nostrils. Together with the colorful fog around it, it was like the embodiment of a nightmare.
"It's a mutant of the Unicorn Magic Pig, the Demonic Halberd Pig!"
Theresa sped up and pounced at Princess A Xia. "Sister A Xia, don't run in a straight line. This guy is good at sprinting, but it doesn't like to turn!"
"Theresa!"
Princess A Xia had exhausted all her strength to dodge the Demonic Halberd Pig's attack alone, but she was barely holding on with her last breath.
At the sight of Theresa, her last breath instantly collapsed. As if drained of energy and courage, her legs went soft, and she tripped over the humus under her feet and fell forward.
"Ahhhh!"
The Demonic Halberd Pig stomped its hind legs and dug two shallow pits in the humus. Then, it leaped high into the air like an extra-large cannonball and rammed at Princess A Xia.
"Don't touch her. She's mine!"
Theresa raised her hand and shot the most basic magic bullet at the Demonic Halberd Pig. At the same time, she pounced at Princess A Xia.
Bam!
The magic bullet hit the spot between the Demonic Halberd Pig's eyes like a small sun rising in front of its retina.
Although it wasn't very powerful, it was enough to burn its retina. After living in a dark environment for so long, the pig's retina had deteriorated severely, and it would feel a brief stinging pain, dizziness, and even blindness.
Even so, its impact was too strong. Pushed by the powerful inertia, it continued to smash toward Princess A Xia like a powerful meteor hammer.
Princess A Xia was so scared that her limbs were numb and she couldn't move. She could only watch as the hill-like body of the Demonic Halberd Pig fell from the sky.
At the critical moment, Theresa pounced on her and rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the Demonic Halberd Pig's attack.
BOOM!
The Demonic Halberd Pig smashed the ground so hard that humus splashed everywhere.
"Ugh!"
Theresa gritted her teeth and grunted.
"T- Theresa!"
Princess A Xia was both surprised and overjoyed. She almost hugged Theresa without caring about anything. But when she saw the painful expression on the girl's almost perfect face, her heart was heavy. She extended her hand to Theresa's back, only to find that her hands were bleeding and bleeding.
They were too close to the Demonic Halberd Pig and failed to completely escape.
Theresa helped Princess A Xia block the sharp spurs on the Demonic Halberd Pig with her back, but she herself was scratched into a pulp.
"Theresa, I'm sorry. I —"
Princess A Xia's head went blank. Tears were rolling in her eyes as she said in panic and clumsily, "It's all my fault. You …"
"There's no need to apologize. We're partners. We agreed that we would fight side by side and protect each other."
Theresa had been wounded a hundred times more seriously than this in the Land of Sins in her hometown. Even the pain could not diminish the sharpness in her eyes.
She grinned mischievously and rubbed Princess A Xia's head. "If you really want to apologize, draw your saber from now on!"
