Chapter 643 - Sylvias Revelation
Sylvia stopped her steps and turned around. "Hm? It"s because I can see it. Anyway, I need it and need to get back soon. You can take your gate back tomorrow afternoon, okay? Ah, I almost forgot. Which part of Earth is your gate connected to?"
"I don"t know. It"s been a very long time since the kingdom we cooperated with was lost in contact. They might have been wiped out? Earth obviously doesn"t have the same terrain either." The red demon lord shook his head.
"Hum, alright then. I"ll go first. You a big, grown demon lord wouldn"t be angry with a little devil"s mischief, would you? Thank you for lending your dimensional gate, bye-bye!" Sylvia waved her hand high and walked away. Vanessa immediately followed.
"Little devil"s mischief, you say!? You came for no apparent reason and beat up my minions and me with a smile on your face, and you call that a mischief?" The red demon lord clenched his fists and stomped his feet on the floor.
*Bam!*
The cracks spread like a spider"s web, but the devil in question had already gone somewhere.
The red demon lord took a deep breath and looked at his minions in his throne hall. "Nothing happened today. No intruders and everything is just as usual."
"Yes, my lord! You are just practicing your new technique and accidentally damaged property and infrastructure. Repairs will be implemented soon." One of the high-cla.s.s demons saluted. He was smart enough to understand the weight of the demon lord"s statement.
"No rumors or anything should be spread about what just happened. Look for information about that female devil and her beast va.s.sal. And one more thing, what awaits us in the area about four to five thousand kilometers to the east?" The red demon lord returns to his throne. All of his wounds had healed as if he had never been beaten black and blue before.
"Yes, my lord!" The demons saluted and excused themselves.
The red demon lord was silent for a while on his throne and snapped his fingers. His entire body instantly turned into red flames and disappeared from there.
He reappeared in an empty underground chamber. An ancient gate that was supposed to be there had disappeared somewhere.
There was no trace of that female devil and her beast va.s.sal anywhere. There was only a hole in the wall a few meters beside the entrance gate.
"I will not forget this humilation, devil. You shall pay a hefty price for this!" The red demon lord gritted his teeth. He was a demon lord, the sole overlord of this region. Yet, a random female devil came just to mess with him and steal that dimensional gate by force?
"She said she only borrowed it? Why is that? I"d better check the eastern region in question. I can"t let the other overlords know about this, let alone seize my dimensional gate." The red demon lord examined the hole in the wall for a moment. It was caused by brute force, not magic or anything like that.
"Why does that little devil hold such great power? Her aura earlier was purple, err, violet, right? Could she be the Devil G.o.d? She was looking for someone too. So, she just happened to come here because she was looking for the Evil G.o.d, but she just couldn"t find him anywhere. And then, she intends to enter the human realm? Heh, those Earth"s G.o.ds will obviously roast her alive if she dares to mess around in the human realm." The red demon lord waved his hand, and the damaged wall instantly repaired itself. After that, he became a puff of fire and returned to his throne hall.
Meanwhile, Sylvia and Vanessa are flying towards the mothership. They only flew at steady speed because they were no longer in a hurry.
"Vann, what did Ely say? Are we flying in the right direction?" Sylvia asked while writing something on the paper.
"Mm, we"re already flying in the right direction. If we go at this speed, we"ll probably cross paths with the mothership in two or three hours. The mothership is also speeding towards us. So, I expect it to be faster than two hours. ." Vanessa reports the results of her communication with her master.
"Hm, let"s just fly casually, there"s no need to rush with acceleration magic anymore. Ely and the others are probably busy right now." Sylvia nodded and showed her the list she had just made. "Vann, take a look at this. This is my research on the comparison between Vrelenia"s power rank and Earth"s power rank."
"Hmm?" Vanessa looked at the list on the paper from top to bottom thoroughly.
"Our homeworld Vrelenia has eleven strength levels from ordinary people with colorless aura to G.o.d with gold aura. While Earth only has nine, from white to the violet aura. That is based on information from Ely some time ago. And, do you know what I realized from my little research after dealing with an underworld overlord with a blue and then indigo aura, Vann?" Sylvia tapped her pen against the paper like a teacher teaching her student about a piece of new knowledge.
"Uhm, our world"s law is indeed different from Earth. My apologies, Sylvia... Please enlighten me on what you want to say." Vanessa scratched her head as her brain couldn"t process what Sylvia meant.
"Not only different, but this world also has a significant limit to its inhabitant power, Vann. It"s as if all the creatures here are suppressed to be twice as weak as they should be. For example, the Demi-G.o.d demon lord with indigo aura just now. In Vrelenia"s world law, he is only as strong as Advanced or Master-level. However, it seems, Demi-G.o.d and above level here has some trick to break free from the world"s restrictions in some scenarios." Sylvia stroked her chin as if she had just made a big revelation. She intended to tell this to Elysia and the G.o.ddesses later to get extra praise.
"Why are you so sure of that, Sylvia? I am also aware that the beings of this world have limits, and a Demi-G.o.d or above most likely has a way of circ.u.mventing the world"s power limit. Otherwise, they do not deserve the t.i.tle "G.o.d" in their strength cla.s.s." Vanessa widened her eyes and was quite enlightened. On second thought, it all made sense now. No wonder the Earth G.o.d sealed their absolute power.
"Well, I proved that after beaten that demon lord black and blue. He couldn"t retaliate, but his tenacity and endurance were impressive. It was as if he had Emperor-level defense, but he had no way of counterattacking my Saint-level sconsecutive attacks. His world breaker magic might be something with defense." Sylvia nodded in agreement with her statement.
"I see... So, we need to make more preparations for two factors. First, we can"t always use our real power in Earth"s human realm. Second, we will definitely be dealing with this world"s Demi-G.o.ds and G.o.ds soon." Vanessa also nodded in agreement.
"Well, we"ll leave it up to our G.o.ddesses and Ely to figure out a solution. They know much more about this than we do. Following all of their decisions is the right thing to do." Sylvia put the list she had just made in her pocket and looked at her clock cube.
Her timer displayed two hours and six minutes. She and Vanessa had been away that long since their departure from the mothership.
"Hey, Vann... Let"s pick some valuables and resources in the forest down there. We can give them to Ely to test the resources from Earth"s underworld. We have two or three hours until the sky turns red again." Sylvia smirked and pointed down.
"Sure." Vanessa didn"t mind that. After that, they dashed down into the black forest below them and plucked some valuables.
Sometime later, Elysia had just finished with Rhea"s recovery. It could only recover Rhea a quarter of her full power despite using many precious resources and high-tier formations.
During that time, Elysia and Rhea exchanged thoughts on many things. During the recovery process, a pleasant conversation must be present to avoid boredom or drowsiness.
"Hm, we soaked for four hours in the hot spring, but our skin didn"t get any impact?" Elysia muttered while helping the baby Rhea put on an adorable dress.
"Of course, we will only have a positive impact in the recovery formation, Master Elysia." Rhea blushed slightly and raised her hand high.
That was the umpteenth time that her entire body was at Elysia"s mercy. Yet, she was getting used to it, whether the mature her or the baby her.
After Rhea put on the dress, Elysia dried her body with magic and put on the dress too. She then carried Rhea in her arms before walking away.
"Nee, Master Elysia, is there any perfection out there? All of us, no matter how strong we are, still live with our own flaws and weaknesses." Rhea twirled Elysia"s long black hair while muttering in wonder.
"Perfection, huh… Flaws and weaknesses alone are what make us pursue higher things, yes? We are still living beings with a lot of potential for improvement. It doesn"t matter whether you are a G.o.d-level being or not. Perfection is simply choosing the almighty one, one who rules the universe and everything in it." Elysia stroked Rhea"s head and smiled as the little one looked at her face with an adorable, curious expression.
"Have you ever met the almighty one in question? It"s not just a myth?" Rhea wondered.
"Who knows? That"s none of our business for now. That"s why we only face what"s in front of us, not something very far ahead. You"ll feel happier because you"re free from overthinking things then." Elysia shook her head.. She flew out of the palace and headed straight towards the Tree of Life.
