Who is not a warrior these days?

Chapter 565 Your Majesty, you are the true "demon"!
Deep within the Purple Star Heavenly Court, in the Imperial Star Divine Palace.

The light of the countless stars in the heavens shone like mercury spilling onto the ground.

The hall was illuminated, making it seem as if one were standing at the infinite heights of this "ancient" celestial realm.

Wang Li's face showed a hint of pride, mixed with a joyful smile of "finally finding a strong man."

In his palm, the silvery-white core of Athena's flame from the Greek Lostbelt of the Type-Moon Multiverse was quietly suspended, flickering and radiating pure and resilient fluctuations of wisdom and order.

"Mentor, look, this is the assistant I found for you!"

Beside Wang Li stood Chen Mulin, a graceful and charming man whose eyes held the myriad emotions of the world and the countless desires of human relationships.

Her alluring eyes narrowed slightly as she carefully sensed the seemingly fragile core of the fire seed in Wang Li's hand, which actually contained immense divine power.

His tone carried a hint of suspicion: "Athena? The goddess of victory and wisdom? Your Majesty, which other world did you bring her back from? The name sounds impressive, but I hope she's not just a pretty face. I don't want her to be useless and end up having to take care of her instead."

Chen Mulin unconsciously rubbed her temples with her slender fingers.

To be honest, dealing with the complex affairs of the early days of the Ziwei Heavenly Court during this period almost exhausted all her patience and energy as the Holy Maiden of the Mortal Demon Sect and the Red Phoenix Star Lord.

But precisely because of this, Chen Mulin also vaguely understood his cheap apprentice and boss.

Wang Li seems to act erratically, unconventionally, and even sometimes seem unreliable.

But his inner thoughts are as deep as an abyss, and his methods are endless. With a wave of his hand, he can create heaven and earth; with a stomp of his foot, he can shatter galaxies.

This so-called "goddess" whom he managed to spot and "pack up" from a place he called "exotic" and bring back is by no means an easy person to deal with, no matter how you look at it.

But on the other hand, those who catch his eye and whom he deems qualified to be brought back to this fledgling Thirty-Three Heavens to serve as "senior executives" often also mean... a huge problem.

Chen Mulin could almost foresee that behind this core of the fire seed, there must be a cause and effect that could cause chaos in any world.

"Don't worry, mentor!"

Wang Li thumped his chest loudly, and the embroidered stars on his imperial robe, which symbolized the power of the Ziwei Emperor, rippled with starlight as he moved.

"Absolutely top-tier talent! One of the twelve Olympian gods, a goddess who governs wisdom, war, and craftsmanship!"

Their professional skills have been certified by this other world for thousands of years!

Strategic planning, internal affairs management, military command, craftsmanship... he's an expert in everything!
Moreover, it is a refugee from a mechanical civilization in the outer void universe, and its main body is a planetary-level material starship.

"Well... when I went there before, there was a minor, insignificant problem in their world. Their divine body couldn't withstand the backstabbing from their own pantheon's god-king, and now only the most crucial core of the primordial fire seed remains."

He spoke casually, as if he were merely reciting a simplified outline, but Chen Mulin was completely bewildered.

"Your Majesty, isn't the background of this goddess you brought a bit too complicated? And..."

Who is Chen Mulin?

Once a holy maiden of the Demonic Sect, she roamed the Great Han Federation amidst the treacherous world of human nature. Now, she wields a portion of the Purple Star's power, and is the Red Phoenix Star Lord who governs mortal relationships and destinies. Instantly, she discerned the danger and violence in Wang Li's ambiguous words.

The divine body was completely annihilated, leaving only the most core primordial fire and remnant soul. This was no "minor situation".
It was clearly a near-total collapse, a return to one's original form, and a narrow escape from death!

Either they encountered an insurmountable enemy, or... they were forcibly "stripped" from a system by some guy using brute force!

Then, thinking back, his cheap apprentice said that he had ten more such spark cores!

This……

"Your Majesty, you didn't go to someone's pantheon, loot and burn, and then kidnap their important chief god, did you?" Chen Mulin suddenly asked with some suspicion.

"Hehehe... How could that be?" Wang Li shook her head immediately upon hearing this.

"Mentor, you need to have basic trust in my character!"

"I, Wang Li, have always acted with virtue in mind! I believe in the benevolent way of teaching and guiding, subtly influencing people!"

"Oh, that's good." Chen Mulin breathed a sigh of relief.

"How could I possibly only do such a small thing? I clearly brought back their entire pantheon and their entire mythological world!"

Chen Mulin rubbed his forehead, feeling his nerves, which had just eased slightly because of Wang Li's return, tighten up again, his temples throbbing.

"Alas~ Speaking of which, the goddess Athena is really pitiful. In the final battle against the powerful demon god who attempted to devour the world, she bravely stood up and sacrificed herself to protect the world and people she loved. Unfortunately... uh, her divine body temporarily collapsed and her soul dissipated."

Seeing her quick wit and outstanding management skills, I realized she was a rare talent in management and strategy, and I couldn't bear to see her wisdom tarnished or her divine status extinguished. That's why, with her explicit consent, I extended a helping hand and invited her to work in our Thirty-Three Heavens, to continue shining and contributing to the peace and development of our vast celestial realm and multiverse!
This is called the introduction of high-end talent, a form of cross-dimensional technical assistance! It's absolutely legal, compliant, and procedurally just!

Um~
As for why the Greek mythological world needed someone who could be rescued by Wang Li, and then saved into this state, that's an unnecessary detail and doesn't need further explanation.

The process doesn't matter, as long as the result is good.

At this moment, Wang Li's tone was firm and her eyes were sincere. If Chen Mulin hadn't known her background so well, he would almost have believed her.

"That 'powerful demon god who attempted to devour the world' could not be Your Majesty yourself, could it? Your high-end talent recruitment and cross-dimensional technology assistance are basically just bringing him back along with the entire mythological world?"

Chen Mulin wanted to ask this question, but seeing Wang Li's fist, which was bigger than the Milky Way, he held back.

To be fair, without exaggeration or bias, from a purely objective perspective, although in the Great Han Federation, Chen Mulin was known as the Holy Maiden of the Red Dust Demonic Sect.

Having the character "demon" in his name, he was naturally ruthless and cruel throughout his life, a reputation that was widely recognized within the entire Great Han Federation.

But she really didn't expect that her cheap apprentice would be so much more ruthless than she was.

"So, Your Majesty, you are the true 'demon'!"

"Although our Thirty-Three Heavens is newly established and in need of rebuilding, and looks like a makeshift operation, what you're doing is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?"
