It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 695 The Demon God Who Exiled Himself
Lovi saw Liya Lan again the next day.

When the two met in the valley, Liya Lan stared at him with eyes wide as if she had just realized what was happening.

Luo Wei, who had just finished practicing his sword, wiped his sweat and turned around, pretending that she was looking at someone else. He was just about to find a chance to slip away when he found that the woman had changed direction and walked away on her own.

Surprisingly, they didn't cause him any trouble.

Looking at that boring and cold back, Luo Wei unconsciously recalled the image under her skirt, his face darkened, and he hurriedly went into the tent to find Urs.

After hearing his purpose, Urs remained silent for a moment but did not question him.

"Marbas is a rather unconventional one among the seventy-two pillars. Like the sixth pillar Valif, she enjoys exploring and discovering treasures. She usually appears in the form of a girl with a lion's tail."

"I've also heard what happened to her hundreds of years ago, and there's been very little news about her since. Although she did have seventy-two demon gods with her, the vast majority of them still acted alone based on their own will."

Lo Wei nodded.

Asking Urs was definitely the right thing to do.

He knew about the pact between the Demon King and the seventy-two demons. It was not a master-servant pact, but more of a symbol of status. King Solomon would not interfere with what the seventy-two pillars did on a daily basis.

Demons are characterized by their adherence to contracts and respect for the strong. Among them, some have temporarily served as military advisors for certain countries, some yearn to become stronger and constantly fight against the strong, some guard important seals, and some simply wander the human world. They are basically a diverse group of people doing all sorts of things, and they are unrestrained. You can always meet one of them unexpectedly. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the freest group of people in the world.

What Urs wanted to remind Rowe was—

Solomon's ranking doesn't necessarily indicate strength, but those ranked higher are certainly not to be underestimated. Since he's fifth, higher than Amon and Barbatos, his strength is undoubtedly considerable.

It's just that, young friend, you are a first-level god...

If he were to actually encounter him, then he should indeed be more concerned about Marbas's safety, even though he himself has never met the other party.

"So, if she's still alive, she might be searching for treasure in some ruins?" Rowe asked.

"This should be."

Then we can make some plans for this.

The continent is not only comprised of community structures like nations and churches, but also influential entities such as the Witches' Guild and the Seventy-Two Pillar Demons. These demons are unconventional, act differently, and even hold opposing stances, but being stabbed in the back by them during a divine war would be a significant threat.

Given the current situation, the Temple of War Gods cannot mount any effective counterattack in the short term. Luo Wei is also waiting for the Saintess of Dawn to truly turn her attention to them. If they can deal with a fifth-pillar demon god at this time, it would be better than being targeted at some unknown time in the future.

As for that demon king Solomon—

Urs's attitude also shows that this first-level god-demon did not care about the exile or sealing of the seventy-two pillars.

"I'll go with you this time."

He looked at Luo Wei and said, clearly seeing through his thoughts. With him, another of the seventy-two pillars of demons, accompanying him, it was not surprising that they were confronting other demons.

"Then wouldn't that mean I owe you another favor?" Luo Wei shrugged.

"Won't--"

Urs shook his head.

He looked at Lowe and said, "What you are doing now is very close to the truth of twenty years ago. This is my greatest wish, so I will not refuse any help I can provide."

Luo Wei also glanced at him.

In the valley, Urs had obviously noticed Maria's return long ago, after all, they had eaten dinner together the night before.

As someone who experienced the conflict from the opposing camp twenty years ago, he now feels the need to find answers to this divine war, even though he already knows that everything is beyond redemption.

"..."

As men, Luo Wei had no intention of reopening old wounds; he simply stood up and nodded.

……

One day later, the magical battleship Skywing.

Sailing thousands of meters in the air, Lu Yi sat in the captain's seat, issuing orders to the warship.

"Full speed ahead! Whoosh! First Officer Anai Ning, report on the voyage!"

"Yes, Captain! Our course is unknown! Wind speed is unknown! Our exact location is unknown! Please give us your instructions, Captain!"

Listening to their conversation, Luo Wei rubbed his forehead and walked out of the captain's cabin. If the warship were really commanded by these two, it would be a disaster. Since Fimi was there, they could just adjust the direction based on Lu Yi's senses.

This operation also brought Anai Ning along. After hearing about it, she patted her chest and said that Lu Yi's matter was her business. Ayining also told them to be careful when she saw them off.

Rowe had originally intended to bring Astaroth along as well.

After all, it is the twenty-ninth pillar.

But the Dark Families also had their own affairs to attend to, and Luo Wei was too lazy to make another trip.

He summoned Minoni.

Is everything alright on the other side of the valley?

“Yes,” the white-haired girl nodded, “The princess is… reading to us.”

"Okay, then you go."

With this kind of communication, we can know what happens on the other side in a timely manner. Even if the Temple of War Gods does something unusual, we can rush over immediately, although it's a bit of an overreaction.

After doing all that, he went up to the deck, where Urs was indeed waiting for him.

"You make me feel that you can definitely reach a much better ending than I expected."

"After all, there are some inside stories here."

Luo Wei didn't respond directly to his words, but stood on the edge of the deck like him, looking out at the vast sea of ​​clouds.

He knew that Urs had long since realized he was not an ordinary human.

As Luo Wei himself said, the current situation is not the result of his efforts alone, but a future built upon the enlightenment of many gods, and even his existence is a part of it.

"The Salvation Tea Party", "King of Angels", "The Pure White Demon"...

Some deities haven't even left their names in this world; history has long forgotten most of them. Their former organizations are deserted, and those who remain are scattered to the four winds. He didn't know if this answer would satisfy them.

But having come this far, there's no other way to respond to them except to do my best and move towards the happy ending I envision.

“This war will affect the future of the entire continent,” Urs said. “Or rather, when you gather the power of the entire continent, the targets of your war will not be limited to this world.”

Did he really figure it out?

Luo Wei chuckled self-deprecatingly. Regardless of the outcome of this war of gods, they were ultimately destined to fight the Third World to the death.

What truth does Randall possess? Since it's related to "Earth Song Star," it might very well be a crucial part of the "Salvation Tea Party's" plan to avert world destruction.

Otherwise, given that old monster's style of doing things, simply acquiring power that surpasses the entire Second Continent would probably not be enough to sustain his efforts over so many years.

In some ways, Randall was also a martyr.

However, the truth about which path he sacrificed himself for, and what secrets he concealed that would lead him to destroy everything after so many years of painstaking effort, can only be found out by asking him face to face.

“I don’t wish to save most of the world,” Lowe closed his eyes, “I just can’t tolerate those unscrupulous guys taking away what I cherish.”

“If I had also…” Urs closed his eyes, then chuckled to himself, “Perhaps the gods have been imprisoned by time for too long, and are not as clear-headed as humans in understanding what they should be doing at this moment.”

"Who exactly is your lover...?"

"So you knew all along." Urs smiled wryly for a moment. He had guessed it from the expression on Urs's face when he agreed to help. After all, the angel from the Temple of Storms probably knew about this.

“My lover is the High Priest of the Church of the Stars,” he said.

Luo Wei paused slightly. The Starry Church... wasn't that the church where the shepherdess who perished after the war festival of the Temple of War twenty years ago belonged?
That is to say...

Urs didn't look at him with his expression, but instead gazed quietly at the sea of ​​clouds outside: "At that time, it wasn't just the main god who fell; Harya and a group of other secondary gods also fell one after another."

"Hmm...it was only for such a short period of time."

“When I couldn’t contact her, I thought she was just being stubborn with me,” Urs said with a bitter expression. “Back then, I was young and arrogant, and I did a lot of arrogant things because of my power of banishment. I never took those humans from the orthodox church seriously. I’m no longer the person I was a thousand years ago when I was besieged by the church and needed Attana to help me block a blow.”

"But even so, there are things I can't change—"

Lowe listened quietly to what he had to say. Urs didn't come across as arrogant; on the contrary, he always gave off a humble impression. The reason he said this was probably because he regretted his foolish thoughts at the time, failing to realize that his lover was in danger.

"Then came the war of the gods."

"I joined a dark faction and fought against some of the main gods of the churches."

"But to be honest, it was just me venting, venting about my own uselessness and incompetence, simply releasing my energy."

"In the end, I realized that none of it mattered, and I exiled myself."

"..."

Luo Wei listened to the whole process in silence.

Although Urs didn't mention the details, at that time he probably just wanted to numb his emotions more than the truth.

That truth was something he couldn't face.

After giving up on himself and exiling himself, his encounters with Katie, Rooney, and Elsa along the way were merely attempts to fill the void of guilt within him.

“But things are different now, aren’t they?” he asked the banished demon.

“Yes…” Urs lowered his head bitterly. “I heard from you that a high-ranking fallen angel is looking for the fragments of that Valkyrie’s weapon. I originally just wanted to seize any possible possibility in the matter. After all, I have returned to the place where that disaster began before, but as time has passed, nothing has been left behind.”

"But if—"

"If there is a deeper reason behind the Starry Night Church, and whether the fate of the continent is related to them or not, I want to find out who the real culprit is."

Is this the answer you've given yourself after twenty years of reflection?

"Your efficiency surprises me, young friend—"

Urs looked at him at that moment, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"If I had acted as decisively as you did at that time, perhaps all this tragedy would not have happened."

"Don't do things you'll regret, before it's too late."

He meant what he said, and Luo Wei could see how deeply the mission to eliminate the threat to Lu Yi had affected him. If only he had acted in the same way back then—

“It’s not time to reveal the truth yet, is it?” Rowe said.

"?"

"You said you went back to where the disaster started, but nothing was left there, was it?"

Urs glanced at him, his eyes trembling.

Luo Wei didn't answer him immediately, but paused before speaking.

“To be honest, I don’t have high hopes for this,” he said with his eyes closed. “But even if there’s only a sliver of a possibility, I guess I’m just the type who won’t admit defeat until I see the coffin.”

"..."

Urs stared at him blankly for a long time.

Then he closed his eyes briefly, looked away, and lowered his head.

“Young friend, you are truly an amazing person. Perhaps the fact that Attana is staying by your side is the most worthwhile reward she has ever received after all her hardships.”

Instead of mocking me, why don't you think about how to respond to Elsa's feelings?

"Heh, spare me... Harya isn't human."

They both smiled, then looked out of the deck, understanding each other's current tasks without needing to say anything more.

Don't do things you'll regret, before it's too late.
