Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 556 Few Rivals

Wang Teng couldn't help but smile at her cautious manner; she was clearly worrying unnecessarily.

Lingling has been with Mo Fan for so long, how could she not know about matters between men and women? With her cleverness, she has already seen through it all.

"What's happening in Europe looks serious, but it's a huge good thing for me, which may sound cruel and gloating."

Wang Teng changed the subject, but his hand remained on that soft spot; he wasn't doing anything shameful.

"Oh? You mean that plan?" Leng Qing quickly realized what he meant and remembered that brilliant maneuver.

Even now, there are no conspiracy theories about the Hall of Heroes on the internet; it is always treated as a special summoning plane.

This surprised her greatly; she couldn't find any unusual comments online, which shows how terrifying it was.

She immediately thought of Wang Teng's long-standing schemes, since the initial beneficiaries of the Hall of Heroes were the aristocratic family alliance.

Unfortunately, this group wields enormous international influence, and discourse surrounding the Hall of Heroes is likely heavily controlled by them.

Unlike basic summoning, the Hall of Heroes involves advanced mages, which excludes mages at the basic, intermediate, and advanced levels.

Therefore, even now, there is still very little discussion about the Hall of Heroes online, and the discussion is limited to the high-ranking mages.

There's no intention to make it public at the national level, since the existence of the Hall of Heroes is too far removed from the lives of most mages.

"Otherwise what? You don't think those European mages would dare to confront the Lord of the Sahara, do you?"

"That's one of the world's most powerful emperors. Even the slightest movement from it would be a catastrophe!"

"Even though magic is prevalent in Europe, it doesn't mean there aren't demon tribes entrenched there. The High Emperor's actions will inevitably cause a large-scale migration of demon tribes."

"Just you wait and see—the clash between the European sorcerer community and the demon race will surely lead many to seek refuge in the Hall of Heroes."

"After all, if they die on the battlefield, they will lose their only chance. They will make a smart choice."

"Reaching the pinnacle of cultivation at the highest level is no easy feat. Given a choice, who would choose to take such a desperate gamble?"

Wang Teng had something else to say: as the clash between demons and human mages began, his heroic spirit mage would have endless work to do.

As the Lord of Valhalla, he was naturally happy for his employees. After all, having work meant they could go out and have fun, and he believed they would be happy too!

Then it would be perfectly reasonable for him, as the temple master, to receive some compensation; this would be a win-win situation!

"Isn't that entry threshold too high? What if we lower it to include super-level mages..." Leng Qing subconsciously put himself in Wang Teng's shoes and considered the problem from his perspective.

"Do you think I accept just anything? A mere high-level mage means nothing to me!"

Can a high-level mage reliably defeat a demonic monarch?

"If even monarch-level demons cannot be easily defeated, then the Hall of Heroes has no advantage over the three super-tier summoning holy sites: the Tower of a Thousand Races, the Valley of Ten Thousand Dragons, and the Tomb of the Fallen Kingdoms!"

"What I want is for the Hall of Heroes to monopolize the entire summoning world's business, so naturally I must pursue the ultimate cost-effectiveness!"

"Imagine a newly minted summoning-type high-level mage who is virtually invincible at the high-level with just their summoning ability. What would you choose?"

"Not to mention the second-tier Super-Rank Summoning system, or even the fully mastered Super-Rank Summoning system, the summoned power increases progressively with each rank, and there's no need to beg or plead. It's a million times better than the ancient demonic sects!"

"Only the combined magical energy of summoning mages from all over the world can allow my cultivation to progress so rapidly!"

Wang Teng leaned back on the sofa, a knowing smile on his face as he looked at Leng Qing's slightly silent expression.

"So the Holy City is your biggest obstacle..."

Leng Qing silently thought to himself that he had only heard a rough outline of this plan before, but today he had witnessed its full extent.

The idea of ​​using all the summoning-type super-level mages in the world to achieve one person's cultivation is both crazy and fantastical!

"Of course, this is the ideal situation, but the Hall of Heroes has another trump card, which is the core factor that forces them to jump in!"

Wang Teng chuckled as he recounted that move, considering it his best strategic decision; without it, the initiative wouldn't have been entirely in his hands.

Even though the Pharaoh is currently slumbering in the core of the second level of the Hall of Heroes, he still exerts a terrifying influence!

"Now that the Holy City has fallen, only the Parthenon remains standing in Europe. I'm afraid things won't be good for the European wizarding world from now on."

Leng Qing quickly came to his senses. Faced with such an extraordinary existence, the Holy City used to be there to protect them, but now that the Holy City has fallen, the Parthenon is the real giant!

"That's none of our business. There aren't many power struggles in this world. The biggest conflict is always between humans and demons."

"Or rather, humanity is struggling to survive in the cracks, threatened by demons!"

"Even with the existence of ancient kings, figures like Athena and the Heavenly Father, the situation of humanity has not changed," Wang Teng said.

"So, according to your plan, won't humanity be able to have a reserve of high-end combat power in the future?" Leng Qing asked doubtfully.

"It's somewhat useful... but not much!"

"The known upper limit of magic for humans is only enough to contend with peak Emperor-level beings. They are already incredibly weak against Middle Emperors, let alone High Emperors—those are beings beyond human comprehension!"

"Therefore, whenever the Middle Emperor or the High Emperor makes any strange moves, humanity is almost powerless to stop them!"

Wang Teng shook his head and said that he would not have talked to Leng Qing about such things in the past, after all, who would think that Emperor Gao was just bored and causing trouble everywhere?

People would just laugh if he said that, but the current state of Europe is the best example, so it doesn't seem so abrupt when he says it now.

"Even the Holy City from back then won't work?" Leng Qing continued to ask.

"If it were possible, we wouldn't be stuck in the Alps..." Wang Teng shook his head and said.

"And what about you?" Leng Qing smiled slightly, her gaze fixed on Wang Teng, who was rambling on and on. She was indeed quite curious about this kind of thing.

"Me? Aside from Emperor Gao, whom I can't defeat, I don't have many opponents left!"

Wang Teng spoke in a calm and even tone, especially since the forbidden spell of time allowed him to ignore the pressure from the Central Emperor, coupled with the confidence brought about by his own continuous growth in cultivation and strength.

Leng Qing heard Wang Teng's calm yet confident tone, which seemed to say that this was just how things were and there was nothing to praise about it.

This confidence was like a pillar supporting the sky; even such a precarious situation was no big deal to him.
