Arad's unruly savior

Sonar lowered his head, his attitude very respectful, not daring to underestimate the girl in front of him who was about 1.5 meters tall, wearing an elaborate and gorgeous black gothic dress, and holding a rabbit plush toy in her arms.

Although the lineage of the Goddess of the Underworld is small and does not constitute a large force, its skills are extremely strange. Most importantly, they have the ability to remove all negative curses. In the Demon Realm, a place with a harsh environment and rampant cosmic radiation, even the leaders of powerful forces dare not say that they will never need the help of the Goddess of the Underworld.

No one knows how many people owe the Goddess of the Underworld a favor.

Imi said, "I know there's a legend about a god's death on Mount Koretkil, but it seems to be just a fantastical story."

A god perished on the highest mountain peak, leaving behind laws powerful enough to influence the entire universe. This legend has attracted many powerful individuals to the mountain in search of the truth and to acquire great power. Leaders of powerful forces have personally set out to visit the mountain, lingering on the summit for days, but all have found nothing.

Moreover, the Third Apostle, the prodigy Prey, had lived on the highest mountain for a long time, yet he never mentioned discovering any power.

“Or is it that God’s legacy will only be unlocked at a special time?” Imiwu pondered again. After a while, she looked at Sonar, signaling her to explain the whole story.

Sonnar gave a bitter smile, and in a hoarse voice, he began to recall the past, saying:
"At the end of the Kashu faction's destruction, after Yem was killed, I was utterly despondent and my will was dead. I felt like a mindless walking corpse, numb and aimless, wandering around places like the Gray Graveyard, the Skyscraper of Night, Jemega, and Staten Island. Then, on Mount Kretekiel on Staten Island, I saw the wonder of the sky being poured in reverse."

According to her recollections and accounts, the blow of her lover Yem's betrayal was comparable to the pain of having her heart ripped out, ten thousand times more intense than the pain of transplanting fragments of the Dark Eye. For a long time, she was in a state of numbness and was unable to regain her senses.

Until she wandered to Mount Koretkil, she saw that the sky of the Demon Realm seemed to have been torn open by a huge crack, bursting out with a terrifying suction force that swallowed everything whole. Brilliant bands of light that should have flowed in the sky were sucked into the crack in a vortex and were mercilessly torn apart. Then, the points of light gathered into an even more mysterious radiance and all fell to some place on Mount Koretkil.

A ray of light fell on Sonar's body, which woke her up. Then, with the heart of a treasure hunter, she went deep into the mountains to find the place where the light had fallen, but after wandering for more than half a month, she found nothing.

Then Sonar recounted that he had a change of heart and decided to find new meaning in his life. So he used his expertise as a therapist and spent time in many different places.

It must be said that a truly skilled healer, even if her past is not so glorious and is stained with blood, will still be needed by the demon realm and receive respect in terms of status.

Then, during her time as a healer, Sonar had two conditions she refused to treat: first, she refused to treat all males, as she instinctively loathed all males, regardless of race, after being deceived by the Shadow Dancer Yem; second, she refused to treat the Grimlin race, regardless of gender or age.

Therefore, in a sense, Sonnar transformed into a gynecologist.

Sonar paused for a long time. Whenever Yem was mentioned, she felt a deep-seated nausea and pain. After barely calming herself, she said:

“I initially thought the light I saw on Mount Kretekiel was just a chance sighting, like how lucky people in the Quest region can see the aurora. But then things started to feel strange. I often dreamed of the sky descending, with endless light filling my vision. When I woke up, I could see my body glowing.”

This means that she must have been affected by the incident of the light pouring down on Mount Koretkiel. However, the key issue is that she did not benefit from it. She neither improved her cultivation level nor obtained any treasures. At times, she even felt very weak and tired. Therefore, Sonar was worried about her condition and believed that she was under some kind of mysterious curse.

Imiwu's face remained expressionless as she said, "There's the Eye of Remedia at the center of the Earth Orbit. Why don't you go there and try it?"

In terms of physical height, the Church of the Clergy at the center of the Earth Orbit is undoubtedly the tallest, hence it is named the Eye of Remedia, symbolizing the eye of God looking down upon the world from the highest point.

“I went…” Sonnar shuddered, as if recalling something terrible, and said rapidly:

"They said with fanaticism that all light belongs to the realm of God, that I am exceptionally gifted, and that as long as I believe in God, there is a high probability that I will receive revelation."

“I asked them how long it would take, and they said it was uncertain, it could be a day, it could be a year… ten years… They told me that once I became a believer in God, everything would be entrusted to God from then on…”

“I felt like they were cult members, and I was scared, so I went to Bolonx to ask for your help.”

Imi Wu's lips curled up slightly as she struggled to suppress her laughter. No, no, laughing out loud would be disrespectful to God.

There is indeed a story behind this. Most of the high-ranking clergy who created the Eye of Remedia came from the Tower of Despair. In the past, they went to Commander Azera's spaceship for some reason, and then left after Azera lifted the restrictions on entry and exit.

They repented, believing that their journey to the Tower of Despair was an attempt to escape death and a denial of the cycle of life and death. Therefore, they felt ashamed of God's revelation and considered themselves sinful. They believed that creating the Eye of Remidia was an act of atonement, which is why those high-ranking clergy members had a somewhat fanatical feel to it.

Furthermore, the Demon Realm is indeed full of suffering and needs the light of God to redeem it. Therefore, those high-ranking priests, like Ophelia, the beautiful girl leader of the GBL cult, are very fond of recruiting people into their cult.

After saying this, Sonar painfully covered her face with her right hand. Her left arm had become woody and was covered with a few leaves that were nourishing her. Her right arm, neck, full breasts, thighs, calves, and the skin all over her body were covered with a grayish-blue pattern, like a tattoo. It looked like a poisonous plant.

In a few regions of the divine realm, there are methods to become stronger using special plants. These methods involve wrapping a magical, poisonous plant around one's body and embedding it into one's flesh. The poisonous plant will then begin to release sap and magic, attempting to assimilate and digest the bound person. During this process, its roots are quickly burned, forcing the poisonous plant to feed its power back into the bound person's body.

Imiwu's ruby-like eyes subtly lit up as she carefully examined Sonar's condition. Her transcendent level allowed her to perceive things that ordinary people could not, and she discovered the light hidden within Sonar's flesh and blood, like some kind of living thing.

She closed her eyes briefly to regain her normal perspective, considered the matter for a moment, and then flicked her finger. A rose vine quickly broke through the ground and wrapped around the emergency room chair that Aurora had obtained from the Heavenly Military Hospital. Then, a sharp thorn instantly pierced Sonar's wooden arm.

The woody arm melted away like ice and snow, quickly reverting to a state of full flesh and blood, with the skin still covered in tattoos.

From the perspective of celestial aesthetics, Sonar would definitely be considered a prostitute.

Imi said in a condescending tone, "Removing your woody state is a reward for your successful arrival at the Dark Mansion. So, what price are you willing to pay to save your life?"

The Goddess of the Underworld never lifts curses for free; those who yearn for salvation must pay a price that satisfies her.

Of course, sometimes when you're in a good mood, you can get it for free.

A small bag of gleaming pure gold coins, probably a few dozen in total, along with two high-grade magic crystals. Sonar took out his savings. Gold is a highly valuable item in the Demon Realm, with strong liquidity. This bag of gold coins and the two high-grade magic crystals are enough for a family to live a normal life.

Imi shook her head slightly; she didn't even care about such a small amount of money.

Everyone always teases Xiaosu as a rich loli, whose dress costs an outrageous seven figures, and not even exactly seven figures... In fact, Yimiwu is the richest person in the demon world, with thick gold bricks everywhere under her dark mansion.

“I can swear allegiance to you.” Sonar made a decision. Although the lineage of the Moon Goddess was not illustrious, it held a considerable position in the Demon Realm.

Moreover, the goddess of the moon before them is an adventurer and one of the leaders of Wuxuan. If they could bask in her glory, it would undoubtedly elevate their own status, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to be loyal to her for life.

Imi continued to shake her head, saying calmly:
"You're no good, you don't deserve it. You have no past that moves me, no things that I admire, and your body is covered in tattoos of poisonous plants. At first glance, you look like a prostitute who frequents nightclubs. Your looks are average, and your breasts are average too."

Upon hearing this, Sonar couldn't help but twitch his cheeks. He looked down at his skin and chest. The tattoo of poisonous plants was to become stronger and to reflect his personality. Moreover, his chest was not small, with obvious curves, and could be considered large.

However, all of them were rejected by the Goddess of the Underworld.

Then, Yimiwu took out three palm-sized, crudely made dolls, which had been made by the old woman with the yellow face, and said:

"These are three substitute dolls that can save you from death three times, within the Puppet Forest. If you can find two of the items I've hidden in the forest within two days, I will lift the curse on you."

"If the time is up, I will turn you into a tree and leave you here forever. If you give up on yourself, I will send you out now. I generally don't make things too difficult for those who can reach the Dark Mansion."

"This..." After a struggle of thought, Sonnar gritted her teeth and chose the former. She accepted the three dolls that could take her place in death, and at the same time obtained clues about two items.

…………

Dark house.

Yue Na nestled comfortably in one of Imi Wu's favorite hanging baskets and asked with a smile, "Hey, what's going on?"

The basket is shaped like a round bird's nest. It's just the right size for a demon with a height of 1.5 meters to squeeze in. He can lie down or lie on his side. However, it's a bit cramped for Yue Na, who is tall. She can't stretch out her body and can only curl up into a ball.

Seeing her "love nest" taken over, Imiwu immediately retaliated, unleashing a magical blade that severed the chains of the hanging basket, throwing the unsuspecting Yuena inside. Only then did she say with satisfaction:

"It's nothing. It was Sonar, one of the foreman Dako'er's subordinates. She mentioned the legend of Mount Koretkiel and suspected that she was cursed by a relic of the gods. But that's not the case. If a god-level expert really did fall in the Demon Realm, even a tiny bit of leaked power would be enough to raze Staten Island to the ground."

"The curse on her does indeed come from a powerful curse magic, which is very novel and I have never seen it before. There should be a powerful negative life form in Mount Kretkiel, and it only dared to show itself after Prey returned to Tayberrs, so it can't be that strong."

"I'll go take a look tomorrow if I have time."

After falling, Yue Na climbed out of the basket and complained about how stingy Yi Mi Wu was.

Yuena also had some impression of Sonar, for a simple reason that had nothing to do with his appearance: his very special love affair in the past, a love between a human and a Grimlin.

When they first learned about this, Yuena and Xiate gossiped that Sonar might have coveted Yem's position in the Kashyap sect and wanted to use his power and status to seek better resources. So he pretended to love Yem's ugly frog appearance and big belly, despite the difference in racial aesthetics.

Yem is a core member of the Kashu faction, the head of Royal Entertainment, and the captain of the Kashu faction's high-level plundering group. There are only a handful of people in the entire organization with a higher status than him.

Therapist Sonar was just a low-ranking officer in the Ninth Quarantine Zone, with a slightly higher but still very limited status than the combat specialists, and he could only obtain a few resources within the organization.

In terms of status alone, it is indeed a case of her marrying up to Yem if she is with him.

Later, people discovered that Sonnar didn't seem to be faking it; she had genuinely fallen in love with the extremely ugly Yem, and it was a heartfelt affection rather than a desire for resources.

Considering that the demon realm is vast and contains all sorts of creatures, this kind of affection that transcends species and appearance is not difficult for people to accept.

Another topic that was gossiped about at the time was what kind of creature would be born if Sonar, a human, and Yem, a member of the Grimlin race, were to actually unite.

Furthermore, the Grimlin race still retains some characteristics of the frog race, such as in-vitro fertilization. Therefore, Ye Lin even wondered if these two would need in-vitro fertilization if they wanted to have a child.

So later, Ye Lin considered whether or not to let the two go, but at the time, he simply wanted to see more fun.

Imiwu looked at Yuena with disdain, deliberately snorted, and said, "I'm going to sleep. I have a warm room. You old hag, go find a basement to hide in."

A haggard-looking woman's status is the same as a broom!
After saying that, Yimiwu really ignored Yuena and made no attempt to prepare bedding or a bed for her. She hugged the naughty rabbit, locked her bedroom door, scrolled through her phone for a while, and then went to sleep.

Don't worry about Xiao Su and You Xia. The Dark Mansion is huge and has rooms for them. Crazy Bear has already made up their beds in advance.

The old woman arrived uninvited, so Crazy Bear was unprepared.
