Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first? Chapter 693: 70 Being a Demigod is Tough Too

Chapter 693: Chapter 70 Being a Demigod is Tough Too

The battle at Palermo Palace had subsided.

Six against three, with the Enchanting Demon Queen’s level even reaching Lv.30, which is known as “Beyond the Veil,” making this demigod battle utterly predictable.

The three Blood Clan demigods couldn’t even flee and were imdiately defeated, sealed by a spell that Red-haired Otto personally cast.

“You’ve reached Lv.30 already?” After the three Blood Clan demigods were taken away, Apilius looked at the Enchanting Demon Queen in surprise and asked.

The other demigods also looked at her in astonishnt.

“Mm, the montum of leveling up recently was too strong, I couldn’t suppress it inadvertently.” The Enchanting Demon Queen replied casually.

“When do you plan to retire?” Apilius asked seriously.

“Soon, I suppose.” the Enchanting Demon Queen responded indifferently, “After all, I can’t just linger in this world like the Imperial Sword Saint Richarter, clinging to life.”

“Alas.” Red-haired Otto also sighed deeply, as if he related.

Hearing the demigods’ conversation, dea felt her heart suddenly lurch, as a sense of disbelief spread from within.

“What does retirent an?” Nora asked in a low voice, puzzled, “Why retire upon reaching Lv.30?”

“Lv.30…” dea forcibly cald herself and explained, “It’s the watershed between humanity and divinity.”

“After Lv.30, divinity surpasses humanity, the transformation into stronger monsters becos more evident. Every injury in battle severely damages one’s sanity, further diminishing one’s humanity.”

“Once sanity is nearly depleted, it ans that the existence as a ‘person’ is completely erased, leaving only the part that symbolizes the laws, akin to death… No, it is even more tragic than death.”

“After all, if a person dies, the super self containing their mories sinks into the Subconscious Ocean and reaches the Netherworld; but with sanity zeroed, it’s a complete eradication, without any possibility of revival—the essence of being a ‘person’ is completely assimilated by the laws and rules, a true ‘erasure.'”

“Right, this is why I plan to retire.” The Enchanting Demon Queen walked over gracefully and said, “From Lv.20, every demigod tries to suppress their leveling speed. Because the gain in strength with each level is far outweighed by the ensuing dangers to their sanity.”

“However, becoming a demigod ans fully rging with the laws, hence even if you sleep all day, the level still increases over ti… Just as mortals cannot escape birth, aging, sickness, and death, demigods cannot avoid being eroded and assimilated by the laws, gradually losing their humanity.”

“Purgatory, the Netherworld, the Abyss—the rules of these three major planes are the most chaotic. There, a demigod can most effectively suppress their divinity, preventing their human existence from being eradicated—thus, it is our inevitable destination, the ultimate abode for all demigods.”

“Mm.” dea fell silent for a long while, then asked softly, “So where do you plan to go?”

“I’ll stay in Lingbo City for a while,” the Enchanting Demon Queen answered with a smile, “then head to the Purgatory Plane.”

“Yes, Lingbo City is essentially a half-plane on the edge of Purgatory.” dea murmured, “Then, Marquina…”

“Marquina will stay in Lingbo City; she doesn’t need to co with to Purgatory,” the Enchanting Demon Queen drew out slowly, then suddenly smiled, “Callia, are you interested in taking over my position and becoming the new Enchanting Demon Queen?”

“?” dea was truly shocked this ti, “But I…”

“I’ve talked to Your Majesty,” Marquina said cheerily on the side, “considering from the networking perspective, Callia, you are the best candidate to beco the next Enchanting Demon Queen, so we’ve already decided!”

“But…” dea still couldn’t believe it.

“Marquina, Callia hasn’t directly refused, right?” the Enchanting Demon Queen said imdiately.

“Not outright refusing ans she’s tacitly agreeing, or leaning towards agreent. It’s just because of her suspicious and sensitive nature, she feels the need to test our true intentions by pretending to hesitate and making excuses, right?” Marquina imdiately put on an ‘oh, what can you do with her’ expression.

“That must be it, sigh.” The Enchanting Demon Queen sighed, “Callia, I don’t rember teaching you to be so stubborn.”

dea: ………

“To render dea speechless,” Sigrdrifa clicked her tongue in wonder from behind, “truly fitting for her real sister and mother.”

“A newly appointed Enchanting Demon Queen?” Thira silently raised her opinion of dea.

“Cough.” dea coughed, politely declining, “I’m really not convenient right now.”

“Your Majesty, Callia hasn’t captured her man yet, she probably doesn’t want to return ho to take over the family business,” Marquina tactfully said.

“Is that so, then you hold onto the title for now,” the Enchanting Demon Queen said, unconcerned.

“Heh heh, I’m not interested in that title, keep it for Callia,” Marquina said with a mischievous grin.

“Let’s first discuss the matter of going to the Abyss to rescue Aske.” Seeing that the two kept going on, dea had to forcibly steer the conversation back to the main topic.

“Yes, let’s rescue Callia’s man first.” The two Enchanting Demons imdiately agreed as if they had just been casually chatting.

The watching demigods were speechless. The title of Enchanting Demon Queen held a rather prestigious standing in the Extraordinary Realm, was it sothing to be passed around so casually?

Speaking of which, from the Third Epoch until now, the Enchanting Demon Queens ultimately couldn’t suppress the progression towards ‘lawification’, and were forced to retire to the Purgatory Plane, which sowhat filled everyone with a bittersweet lancholy.

Thinking of Imperial Sword Saint Richarter, who forcefully stayed in the Main Plane, often paid the price with frequent ‘blind idiocy,’ spending most of his ti with his eyes closed and ears plugged to maintain his sanity, and occasionally speaking seed like reciting poetry (unable to speak normally)—even worse than retiring to one of the three major planes.

Sigh, being a demigod is tough!

Abyss Plane, Research Institute No. 710.

When the three of them arrived at the bottom-level energy room, they saw Kapei standing helplessly outside the door of the reactor room.

“The reactor room has been sealed by a mysterious force!” It was only when he saw Aske, Mia, and Miel coming that he hurriedly ran over in panic.

“Did you use explosives?” Aske asked.

“I did,” Kapei pointed to the door, which was twisted and deford but still embedded in the door fra, and said, “There is so force inside resisting the door, it completely withstood the impact of the explosives.”

“What about the walls?” Aske asked, “Have you tried making holes in the walls?”

“No,” Kapei answered quickly, “There are so precise control instrunts set up against the walls inside, and breaking through the wall could easily damage the control system of the reactor.”

“Hmm, I understand.” Aske looked at Mia, “Mia, can you teleport us inside?”

“With the Ripple Sword?” Mia asked.

“No, with the Black Hole Law,” Aske replied, “Before teleporting, let’s first probe the situation inside.”
