Chapter 198: Quick, Take It Off, Let See
"Xiao Bai, what would happen if the crystal was destroyed?"
"Without the crystal's seal, the abyssal demon would return to this world."
Xiao Bai's response caused Li ng's heart to sink.
He stopped montarily but then continued walking forward.
"So the ultimate goal of the demon race is to release the demon!"
As he walked, Li ng pondered silently.
Xiao Bai's answer was within Li ng's expectations.
Li ng had long suspected that the demon race's intent in destroying the human crystal wasn't simple.
It was far more than just weakening humanity's power.
"Xiao Bai, are demons strong?"
"Very strong, but not invincible. Demons are rejected by this world, so they can't wield their full power here."
"Demons cannot be completely killed. Once slain, they will resurrect in the abyss after so ti."
"Because of their immortality, demons cannot be eradicated; they can only be sealed away."
What should I do now?
Li ng furrowed his brows, lost in thought.
While goblins lean toward evil, they are also creatures of this world.
If the abyssal demons invade, how could goblins remain uninvolved?
"Xiao Bai, do you know why the Sea of Death appeared?"
"Master, the appearance of the Sea of Death is related to the 'deities' of this world. After the 'Dragon God' was born, deities began erging one after another in this world. Deities fall into three categories. The first type, known as 'Authority Deities,' are born from the natural evolution of the world and wield innate powers. They have the least influence on the world and are born from the will of the world itself."
"The second type of deity arises from the faith of countless beings and is called 'Faith Deities.' They are born of sentient beings and sustained by belief. Their followers gain strength through their faith."
"The third type is the Savage Deity, born from the world's malice."
"Regardless of the type, deities must absorb the life force of the planet to sustain their existence."
"Once the life force they absorb exceeds the world's limit, the planet begins to lose vitality, all things perish, and it eventually returns to nothingness."
So Vanessa deceived ?
Li ng distinctly rembered Vanessa claiming that the appearance of the Sea of Death was related to the human crystal.
Now it seed that was entirely untrue.
And this information was given by the angels to the dark elves.
If demons were truly the angels' enemies, how could the angels lure the dark elves into destroying the crystal?
"No, Vanessa wouldn't have lied to back then."
Li ng was confident that Vanessa hadn't lied to him at that ti.
On this, Li ng was certain.
If Vanessa's words were true, then the problem must lie with the angels.
"System, start Life Simulation."
Having acquired so much information, Li ng refused to believe that the future remained unchanged.
Although no events to alter the future had been triggered—
No, encountering Xiao Bai was itself a future-altering event.
[No changes in the future. Simulation invalid.]
Li ng was stunned, halting his steps again.
No changes in the future?
Li ng furrowed his brows, deep in thought.
Could eting Xiao Bai have already occurred in the previous tiline?
It's just that the previous tiline hadn't revealed the encounter with Xiao Bai.
After all, the Life Simulation's predictions of the future were always incomplete.
"What was the in the future aiming for?"
A trace of doubt and confusion flashed in Li ng's eyes.
What purpose would there be in aiding the demon race to destroy the crystal?
No matter how he thought about it, Li ng couldn't see how releasing the demon could be beneficial.
Lost in his thoughts, Li ng absentmindedly walked back to the Throne Palace.
Even after returning, he was still brooding.
In the days that followed, Li ng seed almost possessed.
No matter where he was, he appeared lost in thought.
"What's wrong with the King?"
That afternoon, on the balcony of the royal sleeping quarters—
Basking in the sunlight, Li ng lay on a recliner, staring blankly into space.
Seeing the King's vacant deanor worried the lizardwoman maids.
"I don't know. It's been like this for days, hasn't it?"
"Who isn't saying the sa?"
"Could it be because of that ghost beastwoman?"
"Ever since she left, the King has been like this."
Just then, a female maid hurried into the sleeping quarters.
"Where's the King?"
Finding no one inside, the maid asked the others.
The other maids pointed toward the balcony.
The maid quickly made her way to the balcony.
Arriving there, she saw the King lying on the recliner.
"King, a centaur ssenger has arrived!"
Li ng's expression shifted slightly.
He turned to look at the lizardwoman maid.
"Is it Margarita?"
"I don't know, King. I couldn't understand her language."
"Bring her to !"
"Yes, King!"
The lizardwoman maid quickly left.
The arrival of the centaur did lift Li ng's spirits a little.
Whether it was Margarita or not, he had to satisfy his curiosity this ti.
Before long, Li ng heard the clip-clopping sound of hooves ascending the stairs.
Monts later, a tall, graceful figure appeared in his view.
It was Margarita. She had finally arrived.
"Margarita, take it off quickly! Let see!"
Hearing such a rude demand upon arrival, Margarita grew slightly angry.
After all, she was a queen.
But when she thought about the consequences of refusal, Margarita hesitated.
Resigned, she began removing her leather armor.
"Help her undress!"
Realizing that Margarita might struggle alone, Li ng ordered the maids to assist her.
"Yes, King!"
The lizardwoman maids hurried forward to help.
"No, I... I'll do it myself."
The maids couldn't understand what Margarita was saying.
They thought she was just being polite.
With the maids' help, Margarita's leather armor was removed piece by piece.
Before long, her snow-white, delicate body was fully exposed to Li ng's gaze.
Rising from his chair, Li ng curiously approached Margarita.
The maids, too, were fascinated as they examined Margarita's bare form.
Standing beside her, Li ng scrutinized Margarita's body closely.
Her face turned crimson, and she hugged her ample chest with both arms.
"It looks good, but sothing feels off."
As he observed her snowy, equine body, Li ng murmured internally.
Margarita's form resembled a bent-over woman, though her waist and hips were noticeably sturdier.
Moving behind her, Li ng curiously lifted her black tail.
Margarita's body trembled, her face flushed.
The sensation of soone staring at her most private area made her want to kick out.
But she restrained herself.
