I'll even show you crossdressing men.

While they didn't agree with everything she said, they didn't object either. As she said, how could they not know how terrifying that woman from back then was?

Saying she controls fate might be a stretch, but she's definitely a prophet. Their secret plot to overthrow her failed, and they were violently suppressed.

The reason is simple: in a casual reply she gave later, she left them speechless.

"I guessed it, because..." I guessed it. After analyzing the time and place of their recent appearances, I knew their secret location and what they wanted to do. It's truly admirable and terrifying.

If this were just a one-time occurrence, it would be understandable, but there are countless examples like hers, making it impossible for them not to believe it.

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me who it is, I want to kill her!" Donnie didn't care about that. He already had a grudge against that woman and had been wanting revenge ever since he was banished. Now that he had the chance to come back, he certainly wouldn't let it go.

Since someone can control themselves, then eliminate her, and they will be invincible.

"Are you sure it's really possible?" the prophet asked, seeing his eagerness, as if to ascertain his resolve.

"Of course, I am Doni, the Eagle Man whose speed was once comparable to that of a god. How could I tolerate anyone being able to restrain me?!" Doni's words actually reflected the true feelings of some of these guys.

At that time, apart from being suppressed by that woman, how many other people could be their match?

Now that woman is gone, they certainly wouldn't want to be suppressed any longer.

"She can control stardust, see through fate, and even change the rules of this world after unleashing her full power. Are you sure you want to fight her?" Her words made Donnie pause for a moment, then he looked behind him. Were those guys laughing at him?

Hmph, so what if she changes the rules? Why should I be afraid of her?

“I know you understand that her ability to change the rules only works within a certain range, and it may not be very effective against you, but…” The prophet’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “but she has the Eye of Sealing and controls the seventy-two Solomon cards. You should know what the Eye of Sealing and the seventy-two Solomon cards really are.”

"..." Her words left Donny completely speechless. His eagle claws opened and closed, clenching tightly. After considering for a while, he finally turned back without a word. He had nothing to say.

Why was I so completely subdued by that woman back then? It was because her eyes were the Eyes of Sealing. If she looked at me even once, I wouldn't be able to fly, let alone move.

Once you've had that experience, you'll never want to have it again. What a desperate feeling that must be!

Even now, thinking back on it, he still can't suppress the trembling in his heart.

Not to mention, besides the Sealed Eye, there's also the Chapter 72 Solomon Card, which is an item used exclusively for killing gods...

Chapter 288: Valkyrie and Solomon's Seventy-Two Cards

"Prophet, besides him, do we also have a corresponding nemesis?" The dragon, half of which was a skeleton, couldn't help but want to know the answer after seeing this situation. It was very curious about how much planning that woman had made.

"In each generation of the Chu family, besides the heir and the head of the family, there are various maids and subordinates. Let's not talk about the subordinates for now, let's just talk about the maids."

"These maids, though they may not seem to have a high status, are the core of ensuring the operation of the Chu family."

“Each of them possessed top-tier talent among their peers at the time, and they also had the abilities and knowledge inherited from the Chu family. With so many resources nurturing them, their strength would reach at least an epic level upon reaching adulthood.”

"At eighteen, it was an epic achievement. Think about it, how many humans could do that? Almost impossible, but they did it."

"Although they are still far from being demigods as the head of the Chu family who will inevitably become a demigod upon reaching adulthood, they are still good enough to maintain their status."

"These are not the key points. The key point is that the abilities they inherited were all possessed by that woman back then, which were the protection she left behind for her descendants. And the secret treasures they control, fundamentally speaking, have the potential to change the world."

"Putting everything else aside, a single Valkyrie unit could wipe us all out. However, we don't know how many Valkyries they have; it could be one, two, or even all of them."

"Besides conventional weapons like Valkyrie, there are things that transcend the ordinary. For example, the Seventy-Two Solomon cards I just mentioned, their alias, or rather their full name, I think you won't forget."

Her words prompted the half-skeletal, half-dragon giant to subconsciously reply: "The Seal Cards of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods of Solomon are weapons that seal seventy-two powerful demon gods, each of whom... is capable of destroying the world."

"Yes, back then she only used less than ten cards, and it's said that the highest-ranked one was only thirtieth, yet all the gods we know were powerless to resist her..."

"This deck of cards has been preserved and is still in the hands of someone in the Chu family. Although she may not be able to summon any of the top-ranking demon gods, as long as she can summon around sixty of them, we won't be able to resist."

"Well, it seems that not only will we not benefit from coming back this time, but we'll actually be treated like slaves, at their beck and call? We might as well go back to where we lived before. Even if we can't come back, it's better than being slaves." The white dragon sighed; it truly didn't want to have such an experience.

"You're overthinking it. What the Chu family needs isn't our loyalty, but rather for us to fight against those reclusive forces. They have their own things to do and won't care about us. As long as we help them when they need us, it's fine for us to do our own thing at other times."

This girl called the Prophet truly seemed like a prophet who knew everything; her answers were as if those people had said them themselves.

“Even so, it’s not a good thing. We don’t want to lose our freedom, and they certainly won’t let us go so easily.” The dark elf, completely hidden in a black robe, spoke up. Her race was numerous, and as queen, she was responsible for them. She would never allow them to be enslaved again.

"There really aren't that many problems. They have a lot of troubles right now, and we..." Seeing that they still seemed to be in this state, the prophet spoke up and said what he knew: "It all started with the current heir of the Chu family..."

"Boom!" The massive meteorite was blasted into fragments by the powerful energy in mid-air. What shattered it was a spear, a spear wielded by a girl in armor, enveloped in purple and blue energy.

"Really..." To destroy this meteorite without revealing one's strength as much as possible, there is no other way but to activate "Valkyrie Mode".

Furthermore, the "Valkyrie Mode" can mislead people into thinking that the improvement comes from equipment or other factors and has nothing to do with the player, thus diverting their attention.

Even so, his change of tactics still startled many of those who had been hiding.

Although the Hero-class enemies were very strong, they were still confident they could defeat them. But the Legendary-class enemies were different; although they were one tier below the Hero-class, their individual strength was at least three times greater.

This is a triple increase, not the kind where it used to require five people to deal with her, but now it requires fifteen. Don't even think about fighting her if you don't have fifty people; otherwise, you're just throwing your lives away.

This is a qualitative leap, and it marks the beginning of a stage where we can transcend the conventional and overcome challenges by sheer numbers.

"Fortunately, it was only achieved with the help of external forces; otherwise, our subsequent plans would have to be changed. Now let's see how long this state can last. If it lasts too long, we'll retreat..."

The people hidden in the shadows were talking about something, seemingly trying to observe Ji Xiuyu's condition.

"Eh..." The blue-purple flames on her body went out, the girl's armor disappeared from her body, and her delicate body fell from the sky, as if she had no strength left.

"Be careful, don't push yourself..." Qingyun walked to where he landed and reached out her hands to catch Ji Xiuyu's body steadily, holding him like a princess carry, and said softly.

"No, I'm fine in this state." Ji Xiuyu shook his head, indicating that he was alright. Then he looked at Ziqing and the others, and only after seeing the girls breathe a sigh of relief did a smile appear in his eyes.

Meteorites in the sky pose a huge threat as a whole, but once broken into hundreds or thousands of fragments, they are no longer a threat and can be easily cleared away by Bai Yu and her team.

He didn't expend much time or effort, and even his final, almost post-traumatic state was just an act for them; he wasn't really that exhausted.

Judging from the current situation, these girls have all understood his meaning and are cooperating very well, so they should be even more confident now.

"As expected, there are quite a few aftereffects. Although the outburst was frightening at first, there are no problems." His acting skills were not bad to begin with, and it was reasonable for the other girls to react in this way without prior notice, which made them believe that Ji Xiuyu's state was nothing special.

Of course, it is "just that"...

Chapter 89 of the Second White: Forbidden Alchemy

Although they felt this was a great opportunity, they didn't choose to continue like this. The first day was just a test, and more trouble awaited them afterward.

There will come a time when you will be forced to use "return to town". At that time, the magic that has been deployed in the space will let you experience what it is like to be stranded in another world.

"Hmm, it seems the trouble for tonight has been resolved. That's good, isn't it?" After pretending to have lingering symptoms for a long time and slowly recovering, and with the other party not launching another attack, Ji Xiuyu roughly understood that the other party's probing had stopped at this point.

However, this only applies tonight. Tomorrow, their attacks will be even more intense, and they must force them to use the "return to town" option.

If you don't go back, you'll die; but if you dare to go back, you'll be swept away by the turbulent flow of time and space.

Ziqing had already analyzed their plans and told them about them.

Do these guys think they can do this just because they have spacetime turbulence magic? How naive.

"Alright, get some rest...wait, where's Sora?" It has to be said that the girl's presence becoming zero is indeed a divine skill. Only now, apart from Hime Hideyu and a few others, have the other girls realized that we seem to be missing one person.

"Oh, her? She just went to catch that guy who controls the bugs. She's waiting for us there now. Let's go over there." Ji Xiuyu couldn't help but chuckle when she saw that they had just realized Zhao Kongxue had disappeared.

However, he did not hide anything and led the girls towards where Zhao Kongxue was.

"Why are they coming over? Oh no, I have to leave. I can't let them see me, otherwise I will..." It seemed extremely worried about others seeing it in its current state, so it panicked when it realized the girls were coming. This is absolutely not allowed. How can outsiders see it in its current state?

Moreover, their strength is so great that if they get close, I will surely die.

Thinking this, it controlled its insect body, trying to twist its body and burrow into the ground to leave.

But as soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhao Kongxue, dressed in a long black dress, looking at him with eyes full of disgust and revulsion.

"Ah! Who are you? Why are you here?" He was completely panicked. When did this person arrive? Why hadn't he noticed her? Could she be one of those people? Impossible, there were clearly nineteen of them...

He was startled for a moment, then realized something, and looked at her with great fear, asking in a trembling voice, "You...you...you...you are one of them?"

"Of course I'm the young master's man. Who else do you think I am? Oh, right, don't move around. I've planted a magic missile next to you. Its power is comparable to a hero-level destructive magic. If you accidentally touch it, your body will be blown to pieces."

Her words reached the insect-man's ears, making it even more terrified. "You...you're lying to me!"

It wasn't entirely convinced that although its strength lay primarily in control and summoning, it was still extremely sensitive to changes around it because of its insect body.

It's one thing if it didn't find the girl—it admits that once someone's power reaches a certain level, it becomes undetectable. But for it to have buried magical missiles around itself without even noticing is absolutely impossible.

How could it not know how big that commotion was?

"Honestly, you really want me to try it on you." Zhao Kongxue knew from the beginning that intimidation wouldn't scare it, and she had the idea of ​​trying to frighten it.

Now that it's delivered itself to our doorstep, wouldn't it be a disservice to its distrust if we didn't take action? You said it yourself, so don't blame me if you get blown up and injured.

The girl touched the ground with her toes and flew backward into the air.

It was already about fifteen meters away from the insectoid creature, but now it flew fifty meters away, as if it was afraid of something.

Her action made the insect-man's heart skip a beat; it seemed to be true?

Never mind, I have to escape...

As he was thinking this, before he could even turn his body, a terrifying energy exploded not far from him...

"Aaaaaah!" A terrified scream rang out, as if he had been subjected to inhumane treatment.

However, after calling out for a while, it realized that it didn't seem to be injured. Opening its eyes, it saw a transparent energy shield slowly disappearing from the spot where the explosion had just occurred, which must have protected it.

"What are you yelling for? It's so annoying. Are you even a man?" A sweet girl's voice rang out from not far away. He quickly turned around and saw Ji Xiuyu and his group, along with Zhao Kongxue who had just joined them, all staring at him.

"I...I'm finished..." The state he least wanted to be seen by was now being seen by so many people. His heart felt like it had died, and his face turned ashen.

"An insect-man, or a half-insect-man? Or what?" Ji Xiuyu and the others did not get too close to him, all staying at least fifteen meters away. Bai Yu, who had just spoken, set up a barrier in front of them to isolate his aura and scent, so that they could see him normally.

It's not that they discriminate against it or are afraid of its attacks; it's just that the smell it emits is truly disgusting. If they don't keep their distance and erect barriers, it's questionable whether they can even communicate normally.

"I..." It dared not answer, and even dared not look at Ji Xiuyu and the others, which was an expression of extreme inferiority and fear.

"It seems I'll just call you Insect Man. Forget about your name for now, I won't ask you that." Seeing its attitude, Ji Xiuyu didn't press it further and simply gave it a name.

It's good that it's not my own name, and "Insect Man" is much better than those titles, isn't it?

"You were born because of forbidden alchemy, weren't you?" The girls were actually very interested in its origins, after all, it was extremely rare to see someone like that.

"...Hmm." It no longer wanted to know why these girls knew "forbidden alchemy." It just wanted to escape, to escape as far away as possible, to escape their gaze.

"So it really is that kind of thing..." He turned his eyes to look at Riko. Her other identity, or rather, her real identity's mother, should know this very well, right?

"Don't look at me, I don't know anything about forbidden alchemy, it's all my mother who does it..." Riko panicked for a moment, she waved her hand, not wanting Hime Hideyu to misunderstand.

"No, actually I wanted you to help me contact your mother. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" Ji Xiuyu smiled slightly, making a request that Riko couldn't refuse...
