The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　Alofts explained:

　"Our royal court is built on the spine of the earth. However, that spine does not go all the way to the core of the earth. Instead, some areas form floating islands."

　"The cause of the gravity disturbance in that area... is the endless wailing of the angel within the Earth's core—the sorrowful evil cries out for salvation, beckoning the giants to the floating island and set them free..."

　"If you wish to find the giant, simply follow the voice of salvation and call out his name from the depths of the floating island... and he will watch you..."

　"Entering that area requires a grand ritual magic, which will consume...a considerable amount of our resources."

　Alofts's last sentence was rather long.

　Upon hearing the news, Xingmo breathed a sigh of relief.

　Hmm...it seems some conditions need to be exchanged, but at least I don't have to swim in the core of the earth.

　But this is not a good thing - from what Alofts said, it seems that the evil of sorrow still has some consciousness left, and is even constantly tempting the giants to escape the constraints of the core of the earth.

　If the angel giant breaks free from his restraints, perhaps the entire Giant King's Court will fall.

　"Then, let's make a deal."

　Xingmo raised her head and looked directly into the giant queen's amber eyes:

　"I'll help you solve the fire dragon problem, and you'll help us obtain the appropriate traits to enter the deep floating island."

　"Okay," Alofts nodded, "If it's you, okay."

　What if it was me...? Xingmo appeared emotionless, but thoughts welled up inside.

　Alovetes was not suspicious, and did not even ask Xingmo why he was looking for the angel giant who had destroyed half of the royal court.

　As this was our first meeting, this trust was a bit... too strange.

　Is it because of Professor Merlin's reputation? It shouldn't be that serious. Professor Merlin is just a demigod. He doesn't have enough prestige to deal with the Angel Giant.

　Is that because... I'm special?

　Xingmo raised her head and looked behind Aloftes' throne.

　A huge curtain covered the entire wall, with a faint light faintly visible from behind.

　"I have one more condition," Xing Mo said, "After we find the evil god's followers hiding in the royal court, I want to see the mural behind you."

　Hearing Xingmo's request, the corners of Alovetes' mouth curled up slightly.

　Her amber eyes reflected tiny star bubbles, like a mosquito sealed in amber.

　"Of course, you can." Alofts nodded.

　What surprised Xingmo was that although all the buildings in the Giant King's Court were several times larger than normal size, they were still taken to a guest room of normal size.

　But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense: the heights of the giants range from two meters to ten meters, which is quite uneven. Giants of different sizes naturally need different furniture.

　Among them, the supporting facilities of the two-meter giant are similar to the average size of humans.

　On the way to the guest room, Xingmo probably learned from Prime Minister Migvaros the reason for the uneven heights of the giants:

　The floating cloud layer that blocked the radiation from the Earth's core was the result of a large ritual magic circle. Before that, the radiation from the Earth's core had caused some giants to mutate, causing their height to expand or shrink dramatically.

　This is what causes the large size difference.

　""

　After entering the guest room, Xingmo put on slippers that were three times larger than her feet and sat down beside the bed.

　She stretched, made a "hmm" sound, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

　So tired...

　Aurora also sat down next to Xingmo. The kitten tilted its head and watched Xingmo stretch for a long time before speaking:

　"Don't you sigh?"

　Xing Mo: ""

　Xing Mo sighed and immediately fell onto the bed:

　"Things are getting complicated."

　"Yes," Aurora nodded. "I thought that if I memorized the characteristics of the Invisible Mist Mark, I'd be able to easily find that follower, but I didn't expect..."

　"...all of them bear the mark of the invisible mist." Xingmo finished.

　the second half.

　Xing Mo discovered this the moment he stepped into the gate of the royal court.

　She wanted to find the evil god's follower as soon as possible, but found that the entire spiritual world of the hall was shrouded in a dark curse.

　Yes, the imprint of the invisible mist is everywhere.

　This magnificent stone forest city illuminated by the core of the earth had already been under the shadow of the evil god long before Xing Mo set foot there.

Chapter 292: Forest of Rocks (Part 6) -4k- (Two Updates in One)

　In fact, when Xingmo stood in front of Aloftes' throne, a familiar light and shadow appeared in his sight.

　That was the puppet spirit she captured. It went to the Giant King's Court along with the message she sent during Selina's prayer ceremony to the ancient tree. It was originally used to confirm the location of the evil god's followers in the court.

　And that spirit was nailed right above the throne, broken and with only the most basic spirituality remaining.

　Obviously, this is a message and a signal.

　The follower of the invisible mist was using this behavior to tell Xingmo his ability and his threat.

　Coupled with the mark that almost covered the entire royal court, Xing Mo could be sure that this was a planned chess game.

　A game of hide and seek.

　Xingmo has only two choices: find the dependent from the cursed royal court, or destroy the entire royal court.

　The latter option is obviously not feasible. Apart from moral reasons, Xingmo needs the help of the Flower of the Royal Court, Alovetes, to go to the floating island and find the Spear of Ivramis.

　"That follower clearly wants us to step onto the chessboard and play a game with him..."

　Xingmo looked at the ceiling and thought:

　"That's definitely not possible. Since Serena has passed the message to him, it means we don't have much time."

　"If you don't want to play chess, why don't we just smash the chessboard?" Aurora said.

　"Well...it's not impossible," Xingmo closed her eyes, "There's no way that guy would guess that Bahamut is on our side."

　The fire dragon that serves the Star Sea Goddess will obviously not surrender to anyone.

　Except Xingmo.

　The golden full moon in her body makes her special, giving her many advantages without her realizing it.

　"Let's start with the purpose," Xingmo stood up and clapped his hands. "Salina and the retainer in the royal court, what do they want? Let's figure that out first."

　Then, Xingmo looked at Aurora.

　The two stared at each other for a long time before Aurora tilted her head.

　"Aren't we cute?"

　"Cute little cat, let me borrow your power~" Xingmo smiled faintly.

　Ten minutes later, Xingmo sat down on the terrace of Chloe's guest room.

　Outside the terrace, the light from the Earth's core carried the clouds flowing across the sky, and griffins with snake-headed heads and lion-bodied bodies glided above the clouds, their tracks crisscrossing each other.

　"So, you mean... you want to read my memory?"

　Chloe looked up, looking slightly uneasy.

　"Flower King Louis Auguste is the only person besides Dominic who has had long-term contact with Serena," Xing Mo nodded. "If we want to know Serena's intentions, perhaps we can only find some clues from him."

　"But you will face all the memories that have been read," Aurora said. "Do you dare?"

　""

　If someone said the words "Do you dare?" to her under normal circumstances, she would probably answer without hesitation.

　But when faced with the matter before her, she hesitated.

　Reliving her memories... memories of her father...

　Chloe's mouth dropped open slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to say "I need some time to think," but she realized that she didn't have much time.

　Within three days, the group must find the evil god's follower from within the Giant King's Court.

　""

　Chloe pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and then looked directly at Xingmo.

　"Miss Jiedeti..." she began, "God loves the world. What do you think of this sentence?"

　"A lie." Xing Mo answered almost without hesitation.

　As soon as he finished speaking, Xingmo felt his foot suddenly stepped on.

　Glancing slightly to the side, I saw Aurora with a kind face.

　Xing Mo immediately smiled and added:

　"Of course, there are gods who truly love the world, but who knows?"

　After getting Xingmo's answer, Chloe turned her head and looked at the boulder forest among the floating clouds.

　"...When my father fell into madness, I prayed to the goddess, but all I heard was the July wind in Massena and the noise of the gates of Auguste being broken down..."

　"...When Anthony Moran pronounced my death sentence, I prayed to the goddess, but the sky was overcast that night..."

　"...I am the only one who responds to me..."

　Chloe raised her head and looked at Xingmo firmly.

　"Come on." She said neatly.

　Xing Mo nodded, raised her hand, exerted a little force, and complex green light patterns appeared on the back of her hand.

　Her emerald green eyes gradually turned into a vortex in Chloe's vision, getting deeper and deeper.

　"Om..."

　The dark string vibrated, and deep black and green light flowed together, entering the deepest part of the spiritual body.

　Xing Mo saw Chloe's spirit body continuously growing larger in front of her eyes, from a faint light and shadow, to a vast ocean composed of spiritual energy molecules.

　Every drop of water in the ocean

　They all sparkle with the luster of memory, and are constantly extracted under the vibration of the dark strings.

　Aurora raised her hand, pinched a light green string in the air, and gently pulled it.

　"Om—" The strings played, and the emitted light all gathered towards Aurora, forming a mirror in front of her eyes.

　Countless lights and shadows flashed in the mirror, reflected on Aurora's lens, and flowed past quickly.

　After a dozen seconds, the search was completed.

　"Come on, let's take a look together."

　Aurora flipped the mirror over, and a surging light flooded Xingmo, turning everything around her pure white.

　The pure white quickly faded to light yellow, with a slight film texture.

　""

　The young girl was squatting beside the bed with a big stuffed bear next to her.

　Hugging his knees, tears in his eyes, his light dimmed.

　At her feet, a braid lay horizontally, like a snake that had been stepped on and broken at seven inches.

　"Please, Father, I don't want to cut my hair..."

　"You must specialize in the dueling art of wind, without any burdens! Tomorrow, tomorrow is the deadline!"

　"...I don't want to learn anymore, I don't want to learn anymore..."

　"You are Chloe August. This is your obligation. I'm giving you one last day to handle it yourself!"

　""

　Chloe stood up, walked to the side of the stuffed bear, and hugged it tightly.
