Chapter 70: Chapter 70 This Must Be Some Kind of Prophecy!

In the Natural Temple.

Alice listened to Li Mu’s report with a heavy expression and a furrowed brow,

“You mean… there’s a good chance that Demacia has been hunted by the half-beasts? Because of your limited strength, you wish to request my assistance?”

Li Mu nodded,

“That’s right, Lord Alice. You also know that we have a way to track our companions’ locations, so we know where Demacia is now.”

...

When Demacia was captured, he was still part of a team with his teammates, so his coordinates were displayed on the system’s minimap.

Therefore, although unable to contact him temporarily, players could still locate him.

After spending so much time together, Alice and Berserker were also aware of these things.

“I think… since the half-beasts captured him, it also represents an opportunity… Didn’t you once say that half-beasts likely have a base in the Elf Forest? I believe this is a chance to destroy that half-beast base in one blow!”

After speaking, Li Mu saw Alice’s somewhat hesitant expression and continued,

“Besides, I think the Goddess would also be pleased with this…”

“Mother Goddess…”

At those words, Alice’s heart was stirred.

However, her expression showed some conflict…

After a moment, she sighed,

“It’s not that I’m unwilling to help, but since the half-beasts have a base, it’s very likely they have a half-beast priest.”

As she finished speaking, she glanced at Li Mu and explained,

“You know the Mother Goddess has many enemies. Although She has awakened, to ensure safety, She cannot come to the forefront to avoid a crazy backlash from Her enemies…”

“So, as Her believers and followers, Berserker and I certainly can’t appear before the followers of other Divines, because that could easily expose the Mother Goddess’ resurrection prematurely…”

“However, you all are different. You aren’t believers, and your souls are peculiar, so you won’t arouse suspicion…”

Listening to Alice’s words, Li Mu couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile,

“But… I estimate that our strength isn’t enough to defeat the half-beasts. Their leader knocked out Demacia with just one hit.”

“One hit…”

Alice fell into contemplation, her expression becoming solemn,

“That would likely be a Black Iron Upper half-orc warrior. You’re indeed no match for half-beasts of that level…”

After thinking for a moment, she said,

“This matter… I’ll pray to the Mother Goddess. The Mother Goddess is merciful and all-knowing; She will certainly give us guidance!”

Having said that, she approached Eve’s statue and began to pray with closed eyes…

When Eve sensed Alice’s prayer, She was engrossed in an e-book called “Game Planning Essentials” through the Blue Planet’s network…

“Alice? Did something happen with the players again?”

*Her heart stirred, and She temporarily paused her reading.*

Although there was a game system, Eve couldn’t possibly monitor the players’ movements at all times.

Therefore, She had previously instructed Alice to pray and report to Her immediately if any issues or incidents occurred with the players.

*Now it seemed like something happened with the players again.*

She glanced at the blue light clusters in the Divine Space representing the players and found nothing amiss.

*Feeling a bit relieved, Eve listened to Alice’s prayer…*

After a while, Her mood turned a bit odd,

“Demacia got captured by the half-beasts? The players are requesting Alice’s help?”

*Contemplatively, She immersed Her consciousness into the light cluster representing Demacia.*

Suddenly, Her vision shifted dramatically, and Eve quickly “saw” Demacia’s predicament…

In the dim stone cave, Demacia was covered in wounds, tied tightly to a stone pillar. It seemed he had been subjected to harsh interrogation, as he was surrounded by a group of half-beasts.

*This wasn’t just a simple hunt but an interrogation!*

Combining it with the half-beasts’ conversation, Eve quickly deduced the truth…

“Who knew Uller would send someone to investigate so quickly.”

*Her heart suddenly felt a sense of urgency.*

And seeing the serious expressions of the half-beasts, Eve’s heart skipped a beat,

*Wait…*

*Did Demacia spill something he shouldn’t have under interrogation?*

At this point, the leading half-beast spoke,

“You say your name is Thanos? That you’re a captain of a squad under the Death God? What is the Soul Society? What’s a Dragon Ball and Sharingan? Who is Jack Sparrow? What is his treasure?”

Black Stone stared intently at Demacia, asking each question word by word.

Eve: …

*What on earth is all this nonsense?*

*For a moment, She was taken aback, thinking She had traveled back to some middle school anime club on the Blue Planet.*

And seeing Black Stone asking earnestly, Demacia was also stunned,

“Heavens, I was just talking nonsense… and they actually believed it?”

He muttered softly.

*This… definitely needed explanation…*

As the renowned noble race of Segis World, elves were always known for unity, kindness, and honesty.

In their worldview, the concept of a lie did not exist at all.

This means elves wouldn’t lie.

If they said anything, it was undoubtedly the truth!

*This had become the stereotype of the Elf Clan in the Segis World.*

Thus, after hearing Demacia’s words, the half-beasts, though bewildered, did not doubt their authenticity…

Upon hearing Demacia’s soft mutter, Eve quickly pieced together most of the backstory,

*”Did Demacia start babbling nonsense during interrogation?”*

*Thinking about it, players weren’t afraid of torture; they wouldn’t casually reveal their secrets.*

*But… teasing NPCs was something they were very likely to do.*

And seeing the half-beasts actually believe him, Demacia felt a twinge of mischief and continued to babble,

“Ahem… Soul Society is where the Death God resides.”

“Dragon Balls are precious artifacts. It’s said that if you gather all seven, you can summon a Divine Dragon and have your wishes granted!”

“The Sharingan is a powerful bloodline magic… ”

“As for Jack Sparrow… he’s a great hero from the Human World! Obtaining his treasure grants the greatest wealth, fame, and power!”

Demacia rattled off.

Eve: …

And the half-beasts continued to be utterly baffled,

*This…*

*Why could each word he said be understood individually, but when combined, made no sense?*

At this moment, the sole half-beast priest pondered momentarily and suddenly exclaimed in realization,

“I understand now!”

*Hmm… hmm!?*

Demacia looked at him in surprise.

*He understood what?*

Eve was equally baffled,

*He… understood what?*

Black Stone’s eyes flashed as he respectfully looked at the sole priest,

“Lord Priest, what did you discover?”

Despite being far stronger than this Black Iron Lower half-beast priest, as a servant of the Divine, a priest deserved his respect!

The priest took a deep breath and said,

“Divine Dragon, powerful magic, mysterious treasures… Lord Black Stone, these messages are incomprehensible to us and must be some form of encryption, perhaps a prophecy!”

“Though we cannot decipher it, if we report this to the Father God, He will surely unravel its secrets!”

The priest’s expression turned fervent,

“Lord Black Stone, I hope you can immediately assist me in setting up a sacrifice ritual to inform the True God of the information we’ve obtained! By reporting this to His Eminence first, we will certainly receive the Father God’s blessings!”

He wasn’t a fanatic; unless his soul ascended to the Divine Country after death, the power of faith wasn’t sufficient for direct communication with the Divine across planes, necessitating a ritual.

After hearing the priest’s words, Demacia and Eve fell silent for a moment,

*Blessings?*

*It might not be more than a lashing…*

*A moment later, Eve sighed inwardly,*

*”Considering how these half-wits have chased the elves to near extinction, the elves must be astonishingly wise…”*

*But then again, weren’t the elves inherently straightforward…*

*Regardless, since the half-beasts seemed so foolish, there was little to worry about.*

*A sacrificial array?*

*Eve inspected the place, finding no statue of Uller, meaning setting up an inter-planar sacrificial array would be quite a hassle, requiring numerous materials…*

*Which, incidentally, presented an opportunity for the players.*

*If tackled correctly, even if players weren’t strong, they could still pull a fast one on them…*

*And perhaps even enjoy a rewarding wave of life energy for Herself.*

*With this in mind, Eve pondered, preparing to issue a task.*

Just then, She suddenly noticed the stone prison within the cave…

“Hmm?”

*Her gaze sharpened instantly.*

“Ha, so it really is the Elf Hunting Team’s base.”

Eve’s voice carried a trace of chilling coldness and murder.

Pausing for a moment, She edited the original task and connected with Alice.
