Southwest of Snowveil City, after discovering the Divine Domain of the Goddess of Life standing above the Dea Plateau, various factions immediately began fully probing the Divine Domain.
Even if they couldn’t find anything, they had to put on a show, otherwise they’d look pathetic.
As for the adventurers, they found a good spot to quietly appreciate the divine miracle that they wouldn’t see many times in a lifetime. Vieno also immediately brought Suna to a perfect observation point in the Northern Frontier Mountains to enjoy the view.
For the people of today, this Divine Domain displayed by the Goddess of Life was a once-in-a-century sight.
Even during the Divine Selection Ceremony or sacrificial rituals, the Goddess of Life’s miracles had never appeared as grand as this.
Moreover, unlike the past, although the Divine Domain blocked many probes, after it erupted with many Holy-attribute offensive skills, people began to boldly speculate whether a divine being was fighting personally…
Vieno could confirm that the Goddess of Life was indeed fighting, which made her inevitably nervous:
“What’s going on? A divine being actually took personal action…”
“Could it be that a troublesome enemy that even the Saint’s Shadow Guard couldn’t handle has appeared?”
There were very few opponents who could contend with the Saint’s Shadow Guard.
Perhaps a King-Rank Blasphemer? But that shouldn’t be the case either.
If such an enemy appeared, the Prophetess Saint would have given an early warning and sent out the Church’s King-rank combatants.
There was no need for the Goddess of Life to personally intervene…
Suna next to her was the same. She asked Vieno with a worried expression:
“Senior Vieno, what exactly happened in Deya City? Truth and my family, are they okay?”
Vieno shook her head. “Of course they’re fine. With the Goddess of Life watching over them, there’s no need to worry in the face of absolute divine power. However, regarding that large pit in the mist…”
Vieno’s eyes glowed faintly, carefully examining the mist that had been blasted into a large pit by holy light.
She murmured, “Wilona might still be in the mist. I hope nothing happens to her…”
Suna shook her head. “Of course they’re fine. With the Beast God watching over them, there’s no need to worry in the face of absolute divine power.”
“Eh? Why does that sound so familiar?” Vieno looked at Suna.
‘This little girl is using my own words against me?’
Then the next second, before Vieno could speak, as if something occurred to her, Suna was stunned.
“Ah? Wait, is Wilona actually in Deya City right now?!”
“How did she get there? I was just chatting with her two days ago, and then in the blink of an eye she crossed nearly a thousand kilometers to Deya City?!”
“Uh…” Vieno realized she had let it slip.
Oh well, it should be fine to tell Suna, as long as she doesn’t let other family members know.
“Yes, because little cats always have a period of being very active and playful, so it’s normal for them to sneak out often, there’s no way to keep an eye on them. As for how she got to Deya City so quickly, it must be because Wilona used the Ultra-Long-Distance Teleportation Device!”
“Our Northern Royal Family possesses the world’s only thousand-kilometer-level ultra-long-distance teleportation device. Teleporting to Deya City is instantaneous.”
“Ultra-Long-Distance Teleportation Device?” Suna’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Is there really such a thing? Can I use it? I’ve wanted to go back for a long time!”
Before coming to Snowveil City, Suna never had a proper farewell with her father and Truth.
She always wanted to make up for that regret. However, Vieno directly refused.
“You don’t want to know the cost of using the ultra-long-distance teleportation device once. Even our Northern family avoids using it when possible. You can give up on that idea.”
What status did Wilona have, and what status did Suna have?
Besides, Wilona went to Deya City to contribute to the family’s bright future, while Suna just wanted to go back to visit family…
After being decisively rejected, Suna’s mood immediately dropped. Indeed, teleportation arrays and such were still too luxurious for her now.
Vieno then comforted her.
“Don’t worry. You’ll get to go back eventually. After school starts, there will be many activities and challenges that require leaving Snowveil City, such as student exchanges in the Sylvia Kingdom’s capital. You might get to see Truth then, since you’re in the same year. And even if you don’t see her in the capital, you can use a month of free time to go back to Deya City for a visit.”
“Ah, I see…” Suna relaxed a little.
Before school started, she had very little to do.
Senior Gardelia was busy with other important matters and couldn’t always stay with her, leaving her either wandering around the academy or studying in the library all day.
On top of that, she still hadn’t cleared that Challenge Crystal, and the constant frustration was hard to bear.
In the evenings, she occasionally had to attend gatherings with a bunch of demons, listening to things that were irrelevant to her, then getting to know each other and so on…
But soon, Suna noticed that after every demon gathering, the names of the demons she met would appear in the morning paper a few days later.
[Justice has been served! The demon that had been lurking in Snowveil City for half a year has finally been caught!]
This left Suna at a loss. She clearly wanted to try to get on better terms with the Demon Faction, but every time she memorized a few demon names one night, she would see their deaths in the newspaper the next day.
It seemed memorizing or not made no difference.
This caused all the underground demon forces in Snowveil City to go into hiding.
Suna was also told not to act rashly. The demons were currently looking for a mole.
If she urgently wanted to understand the true face of the Goddess of Life, then the suggestion was for Suna to take action herself…
As for whether the Goddess of Life was good or not, Suna had her doubts.
Changing a lifelong belief was difficult. For example, someone who drinks water all their life will never believe that water is poisonous.
Besides, the ones telling Suna that “the Goddess of Life is not a good thing” were the Demon Faction!
This left Suna feeling a bit depressed.
Demons ranked lowest in trust among all intelligent beings.
So asking her to believe these demons was almost inconceivable.
At least the Eighth Saintess Mary should be trustworthy.
Then there was the matter of Disaster and Heavenly Fire—until now, the Disaster adults had not…
BOOM!
Suddenly, a continuous, thunder-like but non-thunderous sound rang out in the sky, interrupting Suna’s thoughts and forcing her to look up.
At this moment, above Deya City, continuous flashes were erupting.
The flashes quickly crossed the entire Dea Plateau and sped northwest toward the Kingdom of Sylvia.
Suna looked at the rapidly departing flashes and asked in confusion:
“What is that?”
“That’s Shadow Guard O’Mily!” Vieno recognized O’Mily’s flight signature at a glance.
After all, being able to control spatial source elements so freely—there was probably only O’Mily in the world who could do that.
In the past, when the Northern Royal Family wanted to build large-scale teleportation facilities, they tried to invite O’Mily as a consultant.
Unfortunately, they later discovered that O’Mily was completely clueless about professional spatial theory and just wanted to go play with underage kittens.
For ordinary Space Mages, to teleport a cup to a table two meters away, they’d need to calculate a bunch of strange formulas and constantly adjust and chant to successfully cast the teleportation magic.
But O’Mily was different. She seemed not to need calculation; she would quickly deduce in her mind the result that teleportation should be.
“Using teleportation requires calculation?” O’Mily scratched her head and answered like that. She could only give the conclusion, not the process.
It was then that Empress Weila realized that her ability to master and use spatial force freely like that was entirely due to her super strong talent and innate space-adapted constitution.
Spatial theory in her mind was a kind of three-dimensional abstract concept, allowing her to skip the intermediate calculation steps and intuitively draw conclusions to complete the teleportation!
It can only be said that talent between people cannot be generalized.
So what was that O’Mily going to do? Vieno watched O’Mily’s flash signature with confusion.
And that direction… seemed to be the direction of the Demon Lord’s Castle?
