Yes, Suna would change the world; even moving a stone counted as change.
That little Priestling named Truth was completely insignificant to Suna’s future.
When Suna realized she could never defeat the Blood Demon to rescue her little girlfriend, she would surely switch to a new one in no time.
As a Heavenfire Follower with a Player Talent, Suna would at least reach Nine-Rank, or more likely Nine-Rank Peak.
In the future, she wouldn’t lack for such things; it wouldn’t be impossible for her to change girlfriends every hour…
Well, actually, after the Chaos Demon Soros identified the owner of the Hunting Mark on Suna and said, “This seems to be the same Blood Demon that traded insults with you back then,” Heavenfire’s immediate thought was to dump Suna back in Snowveil City and run as far as possible.
As a Disaster, this was the first time since her birth that Heavenfire had felt such fear.
Previously, when facing the combined assault of the Goddess of Life and the Earth Goddess—who had both just reached King Rank—she had felt an adrenaline rush, growing more courageous as the fight progressed.
That kind of life-or-death, bridge-burning battle was something she loved, even if she nearly lost her life.
But now, facing that Blood Demon, Heavenfire could only feel terror and helplessness.
That Blood Demon had pierced the defenses of the Disaster Red Dress in one strike.
One must remember that this was a top-tier Epic defensive item capable of withstanding a full-power blow from a King Rank, and it was only two materials away from being upgraded to Legend rank!
Consequently, the Disaster Red Dress had been blown apart.
The Blood Demon’s damage far exceeded its endurance, causing the dress to downgrade to Extraordinary rank.
The materials required for repairs alone would make a Disaster’s heart ache with the cost.
Furthermore, even with the Legend-tier equipment Multidimensional Bow and going all out, Heavenfire couldn’t touch the Blood Demon at all.
Facing the latter, Heavenfire felt like she had all the power in the world but nowhere to use it.
Wasn’t she a heavy-armor Mage?
Logically, she should have countered a traditional Assassin like the Blood Demon, yet she was countered from start to finish.
Defense broken in one hit, forced into her Loli form in two.
Those were the Blood Demon’s two simple, unadorned backstabs that almost forced Heavenfire to start her life over.
Because the psychological shadow was too great, Heavenfire immediately contacted Soros the moment she slightly suspected the Seeker Demon Suna mentioned might be that King Rank Blood Demon.
As for not letting Suna open her eyes, it was because Heavenfire didn’t want her to know she was collaborating with demons so soon.
After all, the regions ruled by the Church of the Goddess of Life loathed demons.
Heavenfire feared Suna might not be able to accept the possibility of associating with such enemies in the future…
More importantly, after discussing Suna with the demon, the girl’s importance had jumped up another level!
Five minutes ago, Heavenfire established contact with Soros:
“What is it, huh? Heavenfire, how did you get hurt like—”
[Shut up! Use Divine Sense Communication!]
[Fine. Heavenfire, how did you get—]
[What “hurt”?! I just felt like playing around in a new form because I was bored!]
After the Projection of the Chaos Abyss descended into the core region of Meteor Island, Heavenfire, in her human girl form, hovered in the air with her arms crossed.
She squinted at the massive purple slit-pupil eye before her. Beneath them, Suna kept her eyes tightly shut, staying obedient.
[You were so eager to find me, surely it wasn’t just to show off your newly crafted human form?]
[Cut the nonsense. Help me check who the owner of the Hunting Mark on this little brat’s neck is!]
Under Heavenfire’s urging, Soros turned his gaze toward Suna below and immediately realized she was their Ancient Script Translator:
[A Blood Demon’s Hunting Mark? Eh… wait a minute, isn’t this one of ours?!]
[Hah? What do you mean “one of yours”?! She is my Envoy!]
[It’s hard to explain quickly. I’ll call our boss over. Mary!]
A moment later, Soros summoned the Eighth Saintess, Mary. Mary placed her hands on her hips, looked at Heavenfire, and then at Suna with her brow furrowed:
[You took Suna as your Envoy?]
Only then did Heavenfire realize that Soros hadn’t discovered Suna’s rare talent and tried to snatch her on the spot.
Instead, Suna really was one of theirs.
The reason Suna had been able to reach Snowveil City and meet Heavenfire was all thanks to them…
Thus, both sides shared a brief information exchange. Heavenfire discovered that Mary was using Suna to get close to the little Priest, Truth.
Mary didn’t know that Truth was the Blood Demon’s Envoy, nor did she know that Suna possessed the rare Player Talent.
Meanwhile, Heavenfire wanted to cultivate Suna into a High-Rank Envoy, and there was even a high probability of her breaking through to King Rank.
At the same time, Mary realized that Heavenfire’s goal was actually incredibly beneficial to her!
First, Heavenfire was already at odds with the gods.
If Suna became a Disaster Envoy, she would inevitably turn against the gods sooner or later.
This perfectly aligned with Mary’s expectations.
Mary wouldn’t even need to search for the gods’ misdeeds herself; she could just have Suna secretly bring out the Ninth Saintess when the time came!
Heavenfire also believed she had struck gold.
It turned out these demons couldn’t recognize the rare talent Suna possessed at all.
They only thought of using Suna to contact the Ninth Saintess and gain information from 500 years ago.
Hmph, they were picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons!
Then there was the issue of the Blood Demon’s Hunting Mark. To Mary and the others, they didn’t care about a single Blood Demon’s Hunting Mark at all.
They claimed that with the Original Demons temporarily protecting her, unless the Night Bat under the Demon King personally intervened, few demons in the world could harm Suna.
Furthermore, once Suna became a Heavenfire Follower, there was even less to worry about.
Mary and the others all believed that if Heavenfire was watching, the Blood Demon would be killed the moment it showed its face!
For a King Rank Peak like Heavenfire, crushing a High-Rank Blood Demon was as easy as breathing.
[Right, Senior Heavenfire? By the way, you really are protective. Just a common Hunting Mark was enough for you to contact us urgently. Just one thing—if you catch that Blood Demon that popped up out of nowhere, please don’t kill it immediately. We have many questions about it!]
“Of… Of course!”
Currently, Ariel was the only third party who knew that Heavenfire had been utterly defeated by the Blood Demon.
For the sake of her reputation, Heavenfire decided not to share any information regarding the Seeker Demon with the other demons.
As for Suna, Heavenfire thought there might still be hope.
After all, with Mary—who could command the Original Demons—backing Suna, they might be able to get the Seeker Demon to show some respect.
Thus, Heavenfire decided to observe Suna for a while to see if the Seeker Demon would drain her dry.
After all, a talent with such a high probability of reaching King Rank was too precious.
Heavenfire was willing to risk being assassinated by the Seeker Demon again to take her as an Envoy.
Regardless, she had several ways to escape.
If Suna ended up being drained dry, then it would be as if nothing happened; in the future, Heavenfire would simply deny ever having taken an Envoy named Suna.
But if she wasn’t drained… good. Then Heavenfire would begin training the most powerful Disaster Envoy in the world!
Inside the core region of Meteor Island, facing her Envoy, Heavenfire issued her first rule to Suna:
“First of all, as my Envoy, you are not allowed to tell anyone that you are my Envoy, no matter the circumstances!”
‘Please, even if you die, don’t say it. I’m afraid that if the Seeker Demon finds out, it’ll come knocking on my door again.’
“No problem!” Suna nodded seriously.
“I will never abuse my status as your Envoy for personal gain. I will work hard and stay grounded for every increase in my strength!”
“Good that you know.”
