The next morning.
With the help of La Xia, Shien washed up and changed his clothes. After eating breakfast with everyone in the dining hall, he went to the palace.
He arrived at a magnificent and majestic palace in the deepest part of the palace.
This was a palace that had been built over the past month.
The palace did not have a name, but it was a temporary temple for the Protoss Goddesses to live in.
Yesterday, Shien and Elise were received by Lidas and Anima in this palace, where they talked about the two awakened Heroes.
Today, Shien came as well.
It was rare that he did not go directly to Rosie's bedroom to see her. Instead, he came here to report to the two clergymen who were in charge of guarding the door, telling them that he wanted to see Lidas and Anima.
Even the king had to let the clergymen at the door go in and report to them first. Only after receiving permission could he enter and see the Goddesses who were willing to see him.
Although Shien could directly enter with Instant Transmission, and the two Goddesses probably would not mind, but in front of Lidas and Anima, the Goddess of Fate and the Goddess of Life, it was inevitable that he had to put on some superficial act.
If it were anyone else, it would be difficult to get permission to see two of the three Goddesses.
Even the king would find it difficult to be received by the three Goddesses without sufficient reason or special circumstances.
However, after Shien arrived and reported to them, the clergymen at the door quickly made way for him and respectfully welcomed Shien in.
Obviously, as a Hero and the Blesser of the Supreme God, it was easy for Shien to see the Goddesses, even the three Goddesses.
In the entire kingdom, there were less than five people who could receive such treatment.
Moreover, these people would not be the king of any kingdom or the leader of any race. They would only be existences blessed by the three Goddesses.
In other words, in this human world, only Rosie, Elise, Merica, and Shien, who was a Hero and the Blesser of the Supreme God, could receive such treatment.
As for Tierre, Lidas seemed to have seen her a few times during this period and was happy with her growth. However, Tierre did not intend to reveal her identity as the Blesser of Lidas, and Lidas chose to respect her decision. Therefore, Tierre had not been here before. The clergymen and the Goddesses in charge of guarding the place also did not know of her existence as the Blesser of the Goddess of Fate, and did not give her any special privileges.
Thus, Shien easily passed through layers of checks and arrived at the highest level of this temporary temple — the Temple Hall.
This was the place where Lidas and Anima usually stayed. It was also the place where the two goddesses met others.
When Shien arrived, the two Goddesses were still around a table and were discussing something.
"Hall," said Lidas.
Lidas noticed that Sean had walked in from outside. She turned around first and revealed a surprised expression.
Anima, on the other hand, lowered her head to welcome Shien with a gentle expression.
On the other hand, Anima lowered her head to welcome Sean with a gentle expression on her face.
Anima, on the other hand, lowered her head to welcome Shien, her face full of tenderness.
Shien walked in while facing the gazes of the two Goddesses.
Sean looked at the two goddesses and asked curiously.
Asked Shien curiously as he looked at the two Goddesses.
"The Beastmen have returned, but the issue of the Dwarves must also be resolved as soon as possible."
"The orcs have returned, and the dwarves also have to be dealt with as soon as possible."
Lydas and Anima spoke up one after another.
Lidas and Anima said the same thing.
Sean asked noncommittally, as if he was not concerned about the matter and was just asking casually.
Lidas and Anima could naturally see that Sean did not care about this matter. One of them was angry, while the other smiled bitterly.
"As a member of the human race, can't you be more concerned about the dwarves?"
Lidas said with some dissatisfaction.
For this Goddess, who had an excessive sense of responsibility and mission, the dwarves should be eager to reclaim the land, right?
Perhaps, she was still thinking of quickly liberating the dwarves and rescuing the innocent dwarves from Nutz's rule.
If it weren't for these considerations, the goddess would have already graced the Dwarf Kingdom with her presence.
Unfortunately …
"Unfortunately, I'm not interested in this." Shien said straightforwardly, "I'm just an ordinary person, not like you merciful Goddesses who are always thinking of saving this and that in the face of a disaster."
If it was someone close to him or someone he knew, it would be fine. But to ask Shien to work hard for a group of people who had nothing to do with him, he really did not have any interest in it.
"You …"
Lidas suddenly became even angrier, as if she had seen a disobedient child. She was about to lecture him, but Shien covered her mouth.
"Don't try to force your views on me. I'm really different from the heroes of the past. I don't have that much heroism, got it?"
Shien calmly covered Lidas' mouth with his hand.
"Woo woo woo!"
Lidas struggled in protest, but could only let out a whimper.
Anima, on the other hand, was very open-minded and did not have any intention of forcing Shien.
"You are not our well-wishers, but an existence blessed by the Mother Goddess. To us, you are not only a comrade, but also someone that the Mother Goddess values. So, no matter what you do, we will not force you. We are already very happy that you have chosen to fight alongside us."
Anima showed a gentle smile to Shien, displaying her extremely tolerant and maternal nature.
"See?" Shien felt very comfortable, so he said to the Goddess in his arms, "Learn well, got it?"
"Woo woo woo!" Lidas immediately struggled even harder.
Anima watched from the side, smiling bitterly as she looked at Shien.
"Why have you come to us? Is there a reason?"
Anima brought up the serious matter.
Only then did Shien let go of Lidas, who was about to bite him, and sat down in front of the two Goddesses.
In the next second, Sean asked the question that he wanted to ask the two goddesses since he came here.
Immediately, Lidas and Anima were slightly taken aback.
"You want to know what kind of person the Demon King is …?"
"This …"
Both Lidas and Anima were somewhat surprised.
Obviously, they did not know why Shien suddenly asked such an abrupt question.
"Well, just think of it as me being curious."
Shien did not explain much and just brushed it off.
This caused Lidas and Anima to look at each other.
"What a sudden question."
Anima said with emotion.
"Why are you suddenly interested in the matters of the Demon King?"
Lidas was also a little depressed.
"Just asking." Shien still did not explain and only urged, "Both of you should have met the Demon King, right?"
Lidas and Anima did not confirm or deny this question.
Both of them revealed a thoughtful expression, and finally relaxed.
"If you're really interested, I can tell you about it."
Lydas didn't seem to be very interested in it.
"Well, just think of it as a rest."
Anima was still as considerate as ever.
From the attitude of these two Goddesses, it could be seen that they did not really care about the Demon King.
To them, the Demon King was already a thing of the past, and the matter of the new [Original Devil] was more important.
Of course, when it came to the Demon King, no matter how indifferent they were, they would subconsciously become serious.
Lidas said so first.
"Let me be clear, we don't know the Demon King as well as you think."
That was Lidas's opening sentence.
"Is that so?"
Shien tilted his head.
"That's right." Anima continued Lidas's words: "Although we are the first Protoss to be born, much earlier than the six Demonkin, the number of times we've seen the Demon King is quite limited."
"That can't be helped, right?" Lidas said noncommittally: "Who asked the Demon King to not go to the battlefield?"
These words caused Shien to be a bit surprised.
"The Demon King doesn't go to the battlefield?"
Shien was surprised.
"That's right." Anima confirmed Shien's doubts and said: "Even though she was the first to start the war, the Demon King doesn't care about the battlefield at all, leaving all the decisions to the Moon Demon while staying in the castle. Even when the Demons were attacked by us to the point where even the frontline collapsed, she didn't act even once."
At the side, Lidas continued Anima's words.
"Not only did she not act?" Lidas curled her lips and said: "She didn't even say a word. Even when she appeared, her gaze would only stay on the Hero. She only has the Hero in her eyes, as if he's the only one she has any expectations for. She probably doesn't even care about anyone else, right?"
Lidas and Anima exchanged their views on the Demon King and told Shien.
Even if their tone and attitude were different, their views on the Demon King were very similar. They felt that he was mysterious and unimaginable.
Lidas even said so.
"I've always felt that he's an unfathomable person, even more unfathomable than the Mother Goddess."
Lidas seemed to have dug out all the feelings she once had about the Demon King and said.
"The Mother Goddess once said that in the absence of the Hero, the Demon King alone would be enough to annihilate the entire Protoss race. Even the Mother Goddess would probably only be able to find a chance to escape, and there would be no way to defeat her. However, as the one who initiated the war, she never attacked the Protoss race. She would only attack when the Hero came to challenge her. The rest of the time, she would stay in the castle and rarely go out."
"And whenever the Hero fails the challenge and dies in her hands, she doesn't chase after the Protoss and the humans. Instead, she directly returns to her castle. It's not until a few hundred years later when a new Hero is summoned that she makes a move."
"According to the Mother Goddess, with that person's power, she can easily destroy the entire world and kill all lives. But she doesn't do anything and insists on continuing the war."
"Sometimes, we all wonder if she's just using the war between the Gods and Demons to entertain herself and kill time. She treats war as a game. But if that's the case, it's too strange that she doesn't care about the direction of the war and only targets the Hero."
"So, to us, that person is also very mysterious, very unfathomable, and someone we can't understand no matter what."
Lidas expressed her feelings one by one. As she spoke, she showed a sincere expression of puzzlement.
"I think so too." Anima nodded in agreement. She seemed to be reminiscing and trembling as she said, "When I see that person, sometimes I even feel like I'm looking at a lifeless person who only has instincts. Just thinking about it makes me feel that she's unimaginable."
The two goddesses' impression of the Demon King was surprisingly the same.
