Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

"That strange man walked straight towards the temple. People wanted to drive him away, but I, I didn't dare to move."

"What happened next?" Zoe asked.

"When he was about to enter the temple, Goddess Hetia suddenly appeared. I had never seen her so serious. She didn't even care about revealing her appearance in front of everyone."

Otella's eyes were red, and the magic power that made up her special body flowed out from the edge, dripping and shattering into tiny starlight.

"After that day, I never saw Lady Hetia again, until..."

"Until the volcano erupts?" Farina continued.

"Yes."

The blue-haired girl lowered her head, her thin shoulders trembling constantly. Mesa and Yuli, two spirits of purgatory, stepped forward and gently hugged her.

Their flames can ignite external objects, but they cannot affect Ultila.

"It's not your fault. If Xinghun can't fight against that enemy, what can you do? Normal people will be afraid of the magic power of a powerful enemy when they encounter one." Zoe comforted Otela with confidence.

"That mysterious man must be the key to the Star Soul Riot." Meimei said.

"That must be a demon, right?" Zoe said immediately. "When we were fighting Hetia, we saw the same red color on its chest as the blood-red demon we saw before."

"demon?"

Otella blinked; she had never heard of this word.

Although the guild used the fairy tale "The Adventure of the Sword King" to teach the concept of the Crimson Demon to all people in Newbis, there were indeed some people who had never been exposed to any of the stories and had never heard of it.

Everyone also told the blue-haired beast-eared girl and her fellow Purgatory Spirits about the enemy hidden behind Newbiss.

"One of them is a follower of the devil who is trying to control all the star souls, so the mysterious man you met may indeed be related to the devil." Li Ang said.

He then took this opportunity to explain to everyone the strange bloody cocoon they had seen when they broke into Star Soul's chest at close range.

"I know that thing. It is the thing that is constantly tormenting the goddess."

Otella clasped her hands together and said sadly, "I'm not sure about the details of this cocoon, but when the goddess was not like this now, she repeatedly tried to remove it, but it seemed that every time she was..."

The girl was at a loss for words, so Li Ang continued, "Were you forcibly controlled by it?"

"Control, yes, very similar, but I don't think anyone should be able to control a goddess."

"Perhaps its power is growing."

Li Ang speculated: "Since it is in the shape of a cocoon, whether there is something about to hatch or it is just a pustule, the negative force within it must be getting stronger and stronger.

"Moreover, I am basically certain that it is controlling the Molten Mountain Star Soul, although it is hard to say where this certainty comes from within me."

After Leon finished speaking, seeing that Otela didn't seem to understand, he pulled back the cloak that was covering his left arm.

"ah!"

The beast-eared girl and the spirit of purgatory were both surprised. They had never seen such arms covered with thorns.

Whether it was Otila or Mesa and other fire spirits, they all wanted to do something, but suddenly their whole bodies began to tremble, as if they were extremely frightened.

Along with this fear, starlight began to spread around their bodies - the stability of the star soul light that constituted them began to have problems.

hold head high--

A roar resounded throughout the island of Lupus, as if it came from the abyss of the earth, with heavy echoes.

Immediately, volcanoes in the distance began to become violently active.

"Yes, the goddess felt it..."

Otila bent down weakly, and Leon immediately understood that she and the Spirit of Purgatory were connected to Hetia through the light of the Star Soul, so some of the information they perceived could also be transmitted to the Star Soul.

It must be the devil's breath that caused the Molten Mountain Star Soul to move abnormally.

"It seems that there is no doubt that it was the devil's interference."

Leon hid the demon arm and suppressed its spirituality, and the vibration on the island subsided slightly.

"Didn't you use this hand to fight Star Soul before? Why is there a reaction now?" Meimei was puzzled.

"I don't know either. Maybe at that time, the demonic power in its chest obscured its perception of me. Now that it's far away, it can still sense the demonic power here, so it's not surprising that it reacted."

Leon looked at Otela and asked, "Can you find its location?"

Otella hesitated, as if she was at a loss.

"Only by finding her can we truly save her."

Leon put his right hand on Anna's shoulder and asked her to come forward.

"This Earth Star Soul, Anastasia, has now become our partner, nicknamed Anna. She has undergone a transformation."

Anna could sense Li Ang's inner thoughts without hindrance. The golden dragon girl continued, "I was born in ignorance. When I sensed the power of the Son of God, I wanted to devour her. Later, under the guidance of other elders, I realized that protecting her growth was the only way for our clan to have a future."

"Are there many people like Lady Hetia?" Otila asked cautiously.

"Yes, you see, their power can allow me to transform."

Zoe bent her waist again and switched her forms in front of Otella, from the noble golden holy snake to the wild ice wolf, then the elegant and free celestial maiden and the charming and mysterious fairy, which made the blue-haired girl stunned.

Anna continued, "The Son of God has the ability to transmit energy from the distant void to nourish our star souls and help us be reborn. If you want to know who can best help the Molten Mountain Star Soul, it must be her."

Zoe nodded. "I was able to talk to her when we first met, but that demonic power got in the way."

"So, you were talking to Lady Hetia at that time. I was wondering how she could calm down her rage after being tortured for so long. So that's how it is..."

Otella lowered her head, lost in thought.

Everyone saw that she was struggling and waited for her reply.

However, she thought about it for a long time.

Mesa, Yuli and Sina, the three fire spirits, were so bored that they flickered to other places on the Eternal Summer. Zoe was even more impatient and would have started yelling if Leon hadn't stopped her.

However, it wasn't long before Zoe started talking to Mesa.

Li Ang didn't quite understand how much she could communicate with the other party, but seeing that Zoe kept talking, it seemed that there was a way to communicate.

While everyone was waiting, he called Anna aside.

"Master, is there anything I can do?"

"Just call me captain."

Li Ang discovered that perhaps due to the nursery's function of nurturing star souls, Anna still regarded him as her lord in her heart, just like she called Zoe the Son of God. She still didn't call him the captain when no one else was around.

Looking at her expressionless but determined face, he had no choice but to talk about the real business of looking for her.

"You have a trick called 'magnitude climbing', right?"

"Yes. I'm sorry for causing you harm by using that method."

"Well, there was nothing we could do then."

Leon really couldn't imagine that there would be such a thing as Star Soul on Satus Island. Plus he was angry at the time, so he just walked back with his hands swung.

"Besides, that's not an ordinary move. From what I understand, the magnitude can continue to increase, right? With the combined power, I'm afraid no air cavalry can withstand it."

"You're absolutely right."

Anna answered Leon's question with certainty.

Star Soul, whose real name is "Autonomous Weapon of Anti-Civilization Annihilation", is the ultimate embodiment of the technology and power of the Deus people who inherited the knowledge of the First Born, and even involves the imitation of the projection of the Creator God and the great elemental spirits.

The reason they were able to annihilate civilizations was because when they seized the power of the Great Spirit, they each constructed an island-destroying attack.

Among them, the [Magnitude Rise] of the Earth Serpent is particularly special.

Like Baal's [Island-Destroying Storm] and Eden's [Frozen World], the effects depend on their own accumulated power, but the Earth Serpent is different. As the magnitude rises, it can accumulate power until it achieves the effect of destroying the earth.

Anna said that when she used this ultimate skill of annihilation, her strength at that time would only affect the time when the magnitude reached its peak. As long as she was given enough time, she could still achieve the final effect.

That is to destroy the Sky Island.

Before, Li Ang had never considered letting her use this trick against the enemy, because in most cases it would hurt the enemy and herself at the same time. Unless she was crazy enough to not care about anything and just wanted Star Soul to launch an attack at the level of destroying civilization, there was no need to take this into consideration.

Spark Harbor, Glittering Fields, Holy City, Dream Island, Rudder City, none of them needs to be completely blown up to deal with the enemy.

Moreover, if the enemy finds that the Earth Serpent performs this move, they will try their best to block it. It seems that this is a range attack, and it is not easy to use when surrounded by enemies, unless it grows to the legendary level and its defense is so strong that the enemy cannot break it for a while.

"You're at level 7 now. How long will it take to reach the point of destroying the island?"

Anna thought for a moment and said, "About half an hour."

"I see."

She seemed to have not yet made up her mind about returning to Otella with Anna.

Zoe had even become close friends with Mesa and was talking about something enthusiastically.

Li Ang sat down in front of Otela. He even suspected that the girl was not undecided, but was aware that she had kept everyone waiting for too long and did not dare to look up.

"It's almost time, stay and have dinner with us," said Li Ang.

Otella raised her head and said, "Well, we don't have to eat..."

"Can't you taste it anymore?"

"I, I can, but there's no need..."

"Then let's eat together. Since we are on the Yongxia, this is the way to entertain guests." Li Ang smiled at her.

Otela looked at him, then quickly lowered her head and clenched her fists. After making a decision, she raised her head and said forcefully, "I will help you find Hetia. I also want her to stop suffering."

"Yeah!" Zoe raised her hands and high-fived Mesa.

Seeing this scene, Li Ang raised his eyebrows.

Alulu went to prepare dinner, Farina and Dorothy went to help, and Leon called Zoe again.

"Can you chat?"

It didn't seem like this guy could understand Mesa's random gestures so quickly. The communication was so smooth, so it was only she who could talk to the spirit of Purgatory.

“I don’t know how it happened,” Zoe said.

"I guess it's because they are also made of the power of star souls, just like you can communicate with other star souls through the air."

"probably."

"What did you talk about?"

"Mesa told me that there were a lot of fun things on Lupus. I've seen some of them in the Holy City and the Trade City, but there are some I've never even heard of."

Zoe sighed regretfully: "Why is this place ruined?"

Hearing the word "destroy", Li Ang felt a little guilty.

"Oh, we also talked about Ottila."

"What do you mean?" This is what Li Ang was concerned about.

"Didn't Otila say before that she wanted Mesa and the others to eliminate their obsessions, stop being undead, and die completely?"

Zoe's description was not at all aesthetically pleasing, and she made the concept of liberation and rebirth in people's minds sound extremely rigid, but her understanding was completely in line with reality.

There is no such thing as reincarnation in Newbis. When a person dies, his body decomposes into basic units of the material dimension, and his soul also disperses and re-enters the cycle of the world.

"Mesa told me that Otela was very kind to them, unlike what she said herself."

Zoe said, "Otela helped many people in the temple. At the time, some people secretly believed she was the incarnation of the goddess. After she died, they realized that Otela was favored by the goddess."

At this moment, Leon was completely certain why all the Purgatory Spirits remaining on Lupus Island were girls, because they were originally related to the Molten Mountain Star Soul.

They are people who are helped by the gentle island god. With Utila as the bond, they may have established a connection with Hetia's will in some mysterious way, which allowed the power of the star soul to reshape them into spirits of purgatory.

"It's true that many of our companions, thanks to Utila's help, have freed themselves from their obsessions and have completely turned to ashes and left. But these guys are different. They've basically lost their obsessions. With Utila's help over the years, they've let go. But now, they're even more worried about Utila."

Leon sensed the fluctuation of magic power beside him. He raised his head and saw the spirits of purgatory eavesdropping on him.

Since they were discovered, the three fire spirits no longer hid. They came to the front and gestured with their hands and feet.

At this moment, he understood what they meant. They were firmly stating that they meant exactly what Zoe said.

From the words expressed by these fire spirit girls through Zoe, Leon gained a better understanding of Otela.

The beast-eared girl not only helps them with words, but also accompanies them personally, living like family and friends. The reason these souls in purgatory have such obsessions is because they all had unhappy pasts before they died, many of which came from not getting along well with their relatives and friends.

Otella's interactions with them softened their hearts, and since they were separated by life and death, there was actually not much to worry about.

On the other hand, what should Otela do? The spirits of Purgatory began to worry about her.
