"Speaking of which …"
Medusa talked endlessly, revealing all the secrets of the Demon World. It was as if she had just remembered to ask Black Jack about his intentions. "Why have you entered the Demon World again?"
"I'm also here for Great Monarch Kuba."
Black Jack did not hide anything and said straightforwardly, "We discovered that Great Monarch Kuba is working with some evil demon sorcerers in the Glorious Mortal World to study the mysteries of ancient black magic. He must be brewing a huge conspiracy. Therefore, we entered the Demon World and prepared to stop Great Monarch Kuba."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Does that mean that the Medusa Clan will have a chance to fight alongside you again?"
Medusa's beautiful eyes turned and she suddenly said, "Who knows, you might even be able to help our queen find the Crimson Palace and become the new Crimson Empress!"
Many members of the harem snorted at her words.
Dragon Lady Hera sneered in disdain. "Don't tell me you can't not tell that we are not demons. Although the Glorious Mortal World and the Bloody Battle Demon World have not fought for thousands of years, the small-scale bloody conflicts have never subsided. We are enemies, not friends. Give me a reason. Why should we help your Queen Medusa become the Crimson Empress?"
"Because this is the least bad choice," Medusa said calmly.
Demoness Medusa said unhurriedly, "Esteemed guest, you should know that our Medusa Clan is second only to the Turin Clan in the Bloody Battle Demon World. We are a clan that does not have much ambition. Our clan's talents are healing and transformation, not killing and destruction. The current Queen Medusa has an extremely deep friendship with you, esteemed guest. You should know very well that she is not an ambitious person who wants to see rivers of blood flow in the Emerald Continent.
"Even if our clan occupies the Crimson Palace, it will only end the chaos in the Bloody Battle Demon World for a thousand years and establish a long-term peace with the Glorious Mortal World with your help.
"However, if the 'crimson palace' falls into someone else's hands, things will be different, especially in the hands of such a ferocious, bloodthirsty devil king like Master Kuba. Since Master Kuba himself cannot inherit the last will of the crimson queen, he can very well recommend a female puppet to control the power of the crimson palace in his place. By then, the glorious world may welcome a new catastrophe. Neither the Emerald Continent nor the Dragon Scale Island will be able to escape the fate of misery and suffering."
"Hmph …"
"We can return to the Glorious World now and inform all the kingdoms on the Emerald Continent, the Magic Tower, the Church of Glory, and our Dragon Scale Island. Once again, we can form the same alliance as we did thousands of years ago to resist the rise of the Bloody Battle Demon Realm!"
"First of all, are you sure that all the kingdoms and Magic Towers, as well as the Church of Glory and Dragon Scale Island, will be able to resist the power of the Crimson Queen?"
Demoness Medusa said, "Secondly, without any evidence, how are you going to convince so many kings, high-level mages, and deacons of the Church to believe that your warning is not an absurd joke or a groundless legend, but a reality that is about to happen?
"Thirdly, in the past thousands of years, countless kingdoms have risen and fallen on the Emerald Continent. The Alliance of Sorcerers and the Church of Radiance have been scheming against each other. Can they really unite and sacrifice selflessly like they did in the Battle of Devils? I'm afraid that they are so scattered that they can't even form an alliance, right?
"There are also many spies of the Glorious World hidden in the Bloody Battle Demon Realm. Maybe they have already sent the information about the Crimson Queen back to the Emerald Continent. But we are not worried at all. The rebirth of the Crimson Queen is something that cannot be changed or stopped. The only thing we can interfere with is who will be crowned and become the new ruler of the Realm of Devils!"
Black Jack pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "This matter is of great importance. We have to think about it carefully."
The two Medusas looked at each other and bowed politely. They took a few steps back and let Black Jack discuss with the harem.
"Jack, you won't agree to such a ridiculous request, will you?"
Hera said, "Helping a queen of the Realm of Devils become the legendary queen. This is simply … a traitor to the human world!"
She seemed to have gathered her courage and bit her cheeks before she said the word "traitor."
"Of course, I won't agree to the Medusas' request so easily, but their analysis is irrefutable," Black Jack said with a bitter smile.
Black Jack smiled bitterly. "Looking at the Prison Exterminator Race's army, we don't have enough time at all. Perhaps by the time we return to the Emerald Continent and run to a few kingdoms or Magic Towers, Great Monarch Kuba will have seized the Crimson Palace and found a way to absorb the magic power that has been sealed for thousands of years.
"Besides, I'm just a bounty hunter. Although I'm somewhat famous in the circle of hunters and mercenaries, the kings, the ninth-circle sorcerers, and the deacons of the Church are all high and mighty. How can they believe my empty words so easily?
"The only way is to follow Queen Medusa and search for the Crimson Palace together. Then, we will find a way to become the most critical weight in the balance!"
Hera still wanted to say something.
But Black Jack raised his hand and interrupted her.
Black ripples that were as intense as fire bloomed in Black Jack's eyes again. They spread out continuously and gently played with the brains of all the women, including the two Medusas.
"Ladies, trust me. I know what I'm doing."
Black Jack smiled confidently. His hearty smile was like warm sunlight, making people involuntarily feel incomparable trust. "No matter how many sacrifices we have to make, we have to search for the Crimson Palace. This is the only way to save the glorious world!"
"That's right. We have to find … the Crimson Palace."
Hera's eyes instantly became confused. Her expression was no longer as wise as before. She repeated in a mumble, "This is the only way to save the glorious world."
All the girls repeated with her as if chanting scriptures, "No matter how many sacrifices we have to make, we have to help Black Jack find the Crimson Palace. This is the only way to save the glorious world!"
They had no more objections.
Their eyes were as firm as iron, as if they would be crushed to pieces for Black Jack in the next second without hesitation.
Theresa was the only one who gritted her teeth in her heart again.
She felt more and more that the whole thing was very wrong. There were too many strange things.
Why did the two Medusas talk endlessly about the cause and effect when they saw Black Jack, including the big secret of the Demon World? And why did they enthusiastically invite him to help Queen Medusa?
Were they not afraid that Black Jack was a spy or an assassin sent by the Glorious Church?
Also, there were many ways to save the glorious world. Following the demons to search for the Crimson Palace was the most ridiculous, risky, and unreasonable method.
How could the wise and farsighted Dragon Lady Hera and so many other girls agree unanimously?
Theresa suddenly felt that Black Jack seemed to have a terrifying ability. He could automatically reduce the intelligence of all the girls who approached him, turning them all into idiots and love-struck fools.
The question that had been lingering in her heart surfaced in her mind again.
What if all this was not a coincidence?
What if Black Jack knew about Great Monarch Kuba's plan from the beginning, knew about the existence of the Crimson Palace, and even came for the Crimson Empress?
Theresa could not help but shiver.
When she looked up, she found that Black Jack was not far away. He narrowed his deep black eyes and stared at her meaningfully.
