Chapter 208: Sidi's Request
Half a month after the start of the Holy War.
The Southeast Fortress, guarded by the Warrior Temple, fell to the Demons after the loss of one of the Ten Pillars, the Bear Demon God Valif, and under the onslaught of the Necromancer Demon God Samigina.
The entire Southeast Fortress was completely occupied by the Demon Emperor's army.
Three of the six human strongholds had been captured by the Demons.
Only the territories overseen by the Knight Temple, Soul Temple, and Magic Temple remained intact.
As their territories shrank, the remaining professionals from the six temples gathered, forming a force to be reckoned with.
For a time, the Demon Emperor's army, led by the Ordinary Demon God, was unable to breach their defenses.
In the Demon City of Hearts.
Summoned by the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, Lin Ze returned to Hearts with news of Long Haochen.
After viewing the photograph of Austin Griffin, Shu Yongxiao told Lin Ze everything she knew.
To Lin Ze's surprise, Shu Yongxiao also didn't know Long Haochen's location.
The only thing she knew was that Long Haochen's magical beast companion, Haoyue, had entered a special realm after absorbing ten Demon God Pillars and begun evolving.
Long Haochen had also entered, but Shu Yongxiao didn't know which space they went to.
However, based on Shu Yongxiao's speculation, Long Haochen and the others might have gone to the world destroyed by Austin Griffin.
Inside the Demon Emperor's Palace,
Lin Ze told the Demon God Emperor everything he knew.
Upon receiving this news, the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu's expression darkened.
Not only the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, but even the Moon Demon God Agares and the Star Demon God Vasak beside him looked rather grim.
Star Demon God Vasak said with a grim expression, "I'm afraid that when Austin Griffin appears next time, we'll be greeted by his complete form!"
"These ignorant fools of the Holy Alliance, even if we don't act, Austin Griffin will probably wipe them out on the very first day he appears!"
Vasak's words caused the expressions of the other demon gods to turn equally grim.
After all, everyone present understood the terror of Austin Griffin.
After a long pause, the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu slowly spoke, "Let's all prepare for the worst."
The Demon Emperor's words created a very oppressive atmosphere in the Demon Palace.
After a brief silence, Feng Xiu looked at Lin Ze and asked, "Lin Ze, are you having any difficulties in your cultivation?"
At this point, Feng Xiu could only place his hopes on Lin Ze; after all, Vasak's prophecy stated that Lin Ze was the one who could continue the demon race for a thousand years.
Faced with the Demon Emperor Feng Xiu's inquiry, Lin Ze shook his head and said, "My situation is rather special, and outsiders can't help me much. But Your Majesty, rest assured, if that day truly comes, I will not lose."
Feng Xiu was very gratified to hear Lin Ze's words.
After all, he had witnessed Lin Ze's improvement. Lin Ze had now completely mastered the Wise Demon God Pillar, and his spiritual power had increased to 500,000 points.
Lin Ze's inner spiritual power alone had reached 500,000 points.
Feng Xiu nodded and said, "Don't worry too much about the front lines. For the next period of time, focus on your cultivation. If you need any assistance, just let me know."
Seeing Lin Ze nod, Feng Xiu didn't say anything more and then disappeared from the spot.
...
After leaving the Demon Emperor's Palace, Lin Ze planned to go to Leng Xiao's residence.
Just as Lin Ze was about to head out, a familiar figure appeared before him.
She wore a long red dress, possessing delicate and alluring features, a captivating charm tinged with a touch of innocence, instantly stirring the heart.
However, upon seeing her, Lin Ze's emotions remained largely unmoved.
The newcomer was none other than Sidi, the Goddess of Love, whom he hadn't seen for two months.
Seeing her, Lin Ze frowned slightly, his tone somewhat indifferent as he asked, "What do you want?"
Hearing Lin Ze's tone, Sidi slowly replied, "You seem reluctant to see me."
Seeing Lin Ze's lack of response, Sidi continued, "Whether you want to see me or not doesn't matter. Come with me; I need your help with something."
Without giving Lin Ze a chance to refuse, Sidi grabbed his hand, and the two vanished from the spot.
When Lin Ze reappeared, the two had arrived at the Palace of Love, Sidi's bedroom.
However, since the Goddess of Love had become the fourth pillar, the Palace of Love had long since been relocated to the Demon City.
Although the location had changed, the decorating style remained largely the same.
Lin Ze, looking at the familiar surroundings, was momentarily stunned. After all, he had lived in the Demon Palace for over a decade.
Moreover, he had visited Sidi's bedroom almost daily for those years.
Seeing it again, Lin Ze couldn't help but recall past events.
In such familiar surroundings, Lin Ze's expression was no longer as cold as before.
Although Sidi had distanced herself from him because of their shared strength, they had still spent over a decade together.
Sidi was ruthless, but Lin Ze still knew how to be grateful; after all, Sidi had been with him for over a decade, and she had repeatedly defied the Demon Emperor for his sake.
"Tell me, how do you want me to help you? Or do you want me to help you devour some kind of lust?" Lin Ze asked Sidi, who stood before him.
Hearing Lin Ze's words, Sidi's expression was somewhat complicated. "Do you think that's all I've asked you for?"
Facing Sidi's question, Lin Ze didn't answer, but implicitly agreed.
Seeing this, Sidi continued, "We'll talk about this later. Before that, I have something I want to ask you…"
"What is it?" Lin Ze asked, looking at Sidi.
Sidi was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "When you repaired the Demon God Pillar of Love, what were you feeling when you infused the spirit with your essence blood? Didn't you know that Guxin would be detrimental to you…"
"That happened almost two months ago, why are you asking this?" Lin Ze retorted before continuing, "Nothing, I was just thinking that my bloodline is quite special, and if I used my essence blood, could I really raise the quality of the Demon God of Love by one level?"
Hearing Lin Ze's words, Sidi paused for a moment, then gave a faint bitter smile and said, "I see…"
"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with this answer?" Seeing Sidi's unhappy expression, Lin Ze subconsciously asked.
Faced with Lin Ze's question, Sidi shook her head and said, "No, but don't do anything impulsive like that again."
"Don't worry, after being by your side for so long, I won't do anything that doesn't benefit me. I only made this decision after careful consideration; otherwise, I wouldn't have the Demon God Pillar now."
Actually, this wasn't Lin Ze's true intention at the time. To be honest, he was willing to use his own blood essence to repair the Demon God Pillar of Love entirely because Sidi was its owner.
The reason Lin Ze didn't tell the truth was entirely because of the resentment he felt towards Sidi; he didn't want to show her his feelings.
After all, Sidi had treated him so well, why should he appear indispensable to her?
