Flying in the air like a jet, Beta finally landed on the ground after using up all the 'spatial bubbles' scrolls in his Backpack.
It was also like a meteorite landing, causing his body to be in a weakened state. After a while, he extinguished the nearby forest fire as usual, and then hid in the space of Mystra's Mansion.
It had been a long time since he had tried to escape in such a sorry state. It reminded him of when he first entered the game, before he leveled up and didn't know much about fighting, and when he was chased by a few street thugs for several kilometers.
At that time, just like now, he was full of fear and excitement. It was just that in the game, after less than three days, he went back and beat up the thugs to vent his anger, which was considered revenge. But the situation was different now. The people who were chasing him might already be a Demigod, and he didn't know when he could go back and get back at them.
As soon as Beta entered the space, Emma and Sophie came up at the same time and supported him on both sides.
Then the atmosphere suddenly became strange, and Emma said with a fake smile, "Sophie, don't bother, I'll support Beta."
Sophie, however, said in a tit-for-tat manner, "The Temple of Storms is good at offensive and defensive support abilities, but in terms of healing and physical recovery, they're not as good as the Nether Temple, so Princess Emma, you should step aside."
What Sophie said was true. All the Priests of the temples knew healing spells, but the Temple of Light and the Nether Temple were the best at it. These two temples, one light and one dark, were famous for healing the wounded and dying, but because of their doctrines, the Temple of Light was much more famous than the Nether Temple.
Although Sophie had a point, Emma knew that she couldn't step aside. Even if the Nether Temple was better at healing than the Temple of Storms, it wasn't like Beta was seriously injured, and ordinary physical recovery spells couldn't compare to the two temples. It was just the difference between earlier and later, which might be important in battle, but usually, it wasn't so important.
Not only did Emma not step aside. She even tightened her arms around Beta.
Sophie glared at her too.
Looking at this scene, Kail sucked in a breath of cold air. Using himself to save others, he could already see what would happen if he provoked Alice. Then the outcome would definitely be the same.
Beta wasn't stupid either. He felt the faint hostility between the two girls. He was very experienced in dealing with such situations. After all, Blondie and Whitey had also been at odds with each other in the past.
Beta gently but firmly freed himself from the hands of the two girls. He walked to a chair and sat down. After casting a recovery spell on himself, he took a few deep breaths and said, "Sit down, everyone. I want to talk to you about what happened just now. "
Emma and Sophie grunted and sat beside Beta, while Kail and Alice sat opposite Beta.
"That king just now … is very strong, ridiculously strong. I suspect that his strength will soon reach the Demigod level. "
As soon as Beta's words left his mouth, everyone opened their mouths. For humans on the surface, the Legendary level was already an unattainable powerhouse, and the Demigod level was a legend among legends. So far, there were no written records of humans or creatures of other races reaching the Demigod level.
The Demigod level, to humans. Was just a concept, not a reality.
But now there was a powerhouse who was suspected to be about to step into the Demigod level. That was not good, and this person was part of the Realm of Devils. That was even more troublesome.
"Emma, can you draw what that 'king' looks like?"
As a royal princess, Emma had received excellent education since she was a child, and drawing was a basic course.
Three strokes and two horizontal strokes … Emma very simply used simplified drawing techniques to depict the face that she saw. Everyone looked at Guy. And the brave youth. His eyes widened.
There was no other reason than that the portrait really did look somewhat similar to Kail.
"There are many people who look alike in this world." Beta tapped his fingers on the table. "But if not only the appearance, but also the ability, then the situation is not right. When I ran away, I looked back and saw a blue firebird chasing after me. That kind of flame has the same nature as Kail's fire phoenix flames, but it is purer. "
Kail felt his mouth go dry. "So, he also has the Hero bloodline?"
"To be exact, he has the Phoenix bloodline." Beta held his forehead. "The Demon God Diablo is still sealed by them, and the two fire imps don't smell evil, which means that they come from a normal social environment. And according to the rumors, Phoenix punishes evil and promotes good, maybe it means that the lord of the 37th world, Phoenix, is a good bird … and the 37th world under its rule is very normal, as normal as the human world, with correct morals."
"The creatures of the Realm of Devils have normal morals?" Sophie interrupted. "I don't think it's possible."
"Just ask the two kids you've contracted and you'll know." Beta chuckled. "They are low-level people, and the lower the level, the more they have direct experience of these things."
The two flame imps had been sitting at the side and resting. When they heard this, they took the initiative to run over. They jumped and danced, shouting one after another.
"The lord is a holy god."
"The 37th world is very safe."
"We have food to eat every day."
"No one will hurt us."
"The king likes to take a walk."
"We have a large population in the 37th world."
"No imps will starve to death as long as they work hard."
"Killing imps will be punished by the king."
Although their words were messy, when pieced together carefully, it was possible to feel a country or territory with a good social atmosphere. The two imps were very excited, and their eyes were fanatical. They definitely didn't seem to be lying.
Nothing in this world was absolute. Most territories in the Realm of Devils followed the complete law of the jungle, but it wasn't strange to occasionally have a territory in the Realm of Devils that was in line with human morality. Beta nodded. "It seems that Phoenix is indeed a good lord. Otherwise, when they came to the human world, they wouldn't have obediently developed in the underground world. They should have established a country on the surface long ago. After all, with their strength, it wouldn't be too troublesome to occupy an uninhabited territory. "
A powerhouse who was about to step into the Demigod level … would be a great weapon of mass destruction in any country, a humanoid weapon on the level of a nuclear bomb. Unless a king was crazy, he would never think of invading or crusading against a country with a Demigod level powerhouse. Even if they were demons, Beta thought that absolutely not many people would dare to do so. Even a madman would have to weigh the difference in strength between himself and the other party.
Except for the Golden Sons.
Only the Golden Sons dared to do such a thing. After all, in the game, they were even bold enough to run to the Forest Goddess for trouble.
Everybody nodded and agreed with Beta's judgment. He continued, "So, we only need to report this underground demon city to our superiors. For example, I'll tell the Goddess Woking about this. Emma and Sophie, you can go and tell this matter to the Pope of your temple. I think he should have the right judgment."
The two girls nodded.
Things should've been over at this point, but at this moment, Beta knew that there was still one thing that hadn't been completed, which was the epic quest that the system gave.
The Demon God Diablo was still sealed. Logically speaking, the quest given by the system should've been completed at this point, but at this moment, the quest was still lying in the quest column, except that the progress had reached ninety percent.
In other words, there was still one key quest point that hadn't been found.
Beta had already shared the quest with Kail and Alice. He said, "Right now, there's still one last step to the truth about the Demon God and fate. We have to figure out what the reason is. Emma is being hunted, and the demon creatures that are still monitoring her don't belong to the Phoenix territory. They should be the remnants of the Demon God Diablo, but we have to figure them out. We have to figure out which Demon Lord they belong to. "
Everybody shook their heads. There was too little information, and they couldn't find any clues at all.
At this moment, the pink imp that Emma had contracted said, "Great masters, I know about this. Chirp. "
Everybody immediately turned their gazes and stared at the little imp in surprise.
The fire imp was a timid creature. Even though it had been contracted as a magic pet, it still couldn't change this habit. It took a step back under everyone's scorching gaze, then said anxiously, "This isn't a secret in the Demon Realm, chirp. I once heard from a Naga that the Goddess of Fate had colluded with many Evil Spirits and Demon Gods to start a Divine War more than three hundred years ago, causing many Gods and Demon Gods to disappear. Diablo was originally the Master of the Hellfire Groms' deputy, chirp. However, the Master of the Hellfire was killed by the Battle Angel, and Diablo went under the Goddess of Fate's command. If there was really someone who wanted to resurrect Diablo, it would definitely be the Goddess of Fate. chirp. "
As soon as the fire imp finished speaking, the system notified them that the Epic Quest was completed. A large amount of EXP was divided into three parts and flowed into the bodies of the three people involved.
Beta and Kail immediately obtained more than half of the EXP they currently needed, while Alice leveled up twice in a row. Her aura suddenly increased a lot.
Emma and Sophie looked at the happy Alice and were a little confused. Emma was slightly better. She knew that the three of them had a Knight contract to strengthen themselves, but Sophie didn't know. She couldn't understand why Alice suddenly became stronger.
Beta turned off the system prompt, feeling shocked. It was actually the most mysterious Goddess of Fate who was manipulating all of this behind the scenes, which could explain why Emma couldn't change her own and everyone's fate even though she wanted to change it.
