The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

The purple-haired girl nodded silently. After leaving the study, she returned to her bedroom, took out the envelope that Maginus had written to her, looked at it again, then sighed, patted her cheeks, put the letter away, and picked up a book about city and kingdom management to read.

She can't help Maginus now, but she still remembers the future the girl once spoke of.

If Maginus were to one day reclaim everything, would she have to say goodbye to her father and mother?

The future is too far away, so Lenya plans to prepare for it first.

……

Lake Crystal City.

The situation here is much worse than the previous two places. Even though the demons have been cleared out, the city's crisis has not been resolved. The army of Ilandamia, the country where the city is located, has once again surrounded the city.

Kaliwisda died in an assassination attempt by Maginus, and the Witcher Jim Regan was appointed to take charge, but he still did not choose to surrender to the kingdom itself.

But the Earl's death in broad daylight had already eroded the morale of most of the residents and the army, and Jim Regan was merely delaying the inevitable disappearance of what Kaliwisda had done in Lake Crystal.

"My lord, let me go! I must kill her to avenge Lord Wester!"

"No, it's my fault. If it weren't for me... I need to correct my mistake!"

McKenney and Covedale argued, looking even more dejected than before, all because of Maginus; the two of them had become objects of the residents' disgust.

To protect the two, Jim Regan stripped them of their jobs and brought them to live with him.

Not only them, but also a very important group of people.

"Okay, stop arguing."

Exhausted, Jim Regan was still in a wheelchair, his injuries not yet fully healed. He stopped the angry argument between the two men and looked up at the door.

"come in."

Desna, a blue-haired female officer with a gloomy aura, walked into the room, her eyes filled with murderous intent and hatred. Behind her, in addition to the ranger, assassin, and alchemist, the new members had been recruited.

"You know what your mission is, right?"

“I know,” Desna grinned, revealing her teeth. “Find and kill Maginus at all costs.”

……

Red Sparrow City.

"What?! Walker and Miss Maginus might be in Red Sparrow City?!"

Bereya stood up in surprise. Kent gestured for the novice priest in the group to sit down, silently touched his side, and, not finding his pipe, nodded.

“That’s right. The bishop asked us to investigate Maginus’s current situation and use the Detect Good and Evil technique to determine her allegiance.”

At this point, Kent couldn't help but chuckle wryly: "Haha, try to avoid a direct confrontation with her. Our team probably can't beat her anymore."

Maginus has grown so fast. The last time we met, she was just... oh, no, the last time we met, she dared to get involved in a mid-level battle.

In a chat group, a user named "Wu Yi X Lin Qi Liu Ying" asked, "What if the detection of good and evil results in evil instead..."

Bereya asked with a pained expression, recalling the day Maginus saved her.

Kent didn't answer. From his serious expression, all the members already knew what Maginus was about to face.

With a murderous godchild of the evil faction exposed to the sunlight, the Church of the Endless Light could not possibly refrain from killing her.

I also found some children of slaughter and children of fear. In order to conduct a control experiment, I made one group kill each other, while the other group did not fight each other and grew up solely by learning combat skills and spells.

To my surprise, I discovered that the special energy within the group that had been killing each other had increased, as if they had absorbed the power of their murdered relatives into their bodies through a special channel.

My information network is fairly good; the God of Slaughter and the God of Fear show no signs of awakening yet, so the time may not be right.

Even so, in this "peaceful era," the power within the Sons of Slaughter increases by killing each other.

Afterwards, I also put the control group together to fight, and the results showed that the group that had killed their blood relatives had a significantly higher growth rate than the group that only focused on studying.

...After numerous experiments, I can be fairly certain that the energy transferred between individuals within the Child of Slaughter can bring about all-round growth for the Child of Slaughter.

This growth includes the soul and body, talents and knowledge, and this is even before the time for revival has arrived.

Once the recovery period arrives, the growth curve resulting from their mutual slaughter will only become more terrifying.

Maginus showed no panic about the impending crisis, nor would panic help her; she continued to peruse Zodrin Mekella's experimental records.

Chapter 328 A series of coincidences together create a miracle

His experiments have become increasingly in-depth over time, and he will likely soon learn about the will of the evil god.

As she turned the next page, Maginus paused slightly, her mind racing.

Ha, today a son of slaughter tried to attack and kill me, thinking he had hidden power that I hadn't discovered.

However, I had already discovered it, but I didn't expect him to be so impatient. Wait, I have a guess. Could the things absorbed from killing each other contain something that affects the mind?

really!

The killing children who engage in mutual slaughter become more irritable and easily angered. Those who were originally cowardly become arrogant and violent. Conversely, the fear children become gloomy and cautious, and the evil thoughts and desires for control in the hearts of seemingly cheerful people will continue to grow.

I found two Sons of Slaughter and Sons of Fear, both aligned with the Order of Good. After putting them to sleep, I used magic to control them and make them kill two blood relatives. At the same time, I observed their condition after they woke up.

The result was terrifying; only one sparrow was killed. The former, who wouldn't even step on an ant before, clenched his fist tightly as he looked at an injured sparrow, as if he wanted to kill it for a moment.

The latter learned to "deceive" and tricked his way into giving food by feigning helplessness, although he quickly realized his mistake and returned the food.

Children are very malleable, but it's impossible for these two people to change like this in a single day without any influence.

I then made many comparisons and was basically able to confirm that the hidden power in which the two evil god offspring fought each other contained the remnants of the evil god's will.

This aligns with what happened in another prime material plane: after the divine children were awakened, they were merely sacrifices in a ritual.

If they don't clear away these residual thoughts at the very beginning, they will accumulate on the final divine child.

Even if they become the final victors, under the influence of the evil god's will deep within their souls, they will choose not to become gods, and only death awaits them.

As recorded, their ancestors, their father god, will be resurrected through their bodies, and through their death, they will complete their resurrection.

I became even more curious: was it possible to get rid of this kind of will?

Day 652 of the experiment

It's difficult. The gods are indeed gods. First of all, this is not the time for the K to revive. The K's will is buried deep in their souls. Even a legendary mage like me spent a long time finding the hidden consciousness within a Child of Slaughter.

Secondly, there was the sheer tenacity of the K's will. When I entered the Son of Slaughter's mental dream using the Dream Entry Technique, I was immediately attacked by the skull floating above his dream.

That was probably the will of an evil god. I, a legendary mage, was actually forced to retreat. This made me realize even more that gods cannot be defeated by mortals like me. Only gods can influence gods.

Hehe, since that's the case, I have an idea. It's rumored that the God of Slaughter and the God of Fear only barely cooperate, and in reality, they both want to kill each other.

Since that's the case, why don't I let the two of them have a child together and see what happens?

……

"This……"

Upon seeing this, Maginus frowned slightly. After calculating the founding date of the royal family, she confirmed that the Imperius family was not created by Zodrin Mekaela. She continued to flip through the pages and suddenly saw the family's name.

No, I've tried many times. The Child of Slaughter and the Child of Fear are filled with hatred for each other and are inherently incompatible. Even if I force them to unite, they cannot produce offspring.

I tried to use magic to combine their blood to create offspring with bloodlines of killing and fear, but it didn't work. The creations quickly mutated into monsters.

Day 689 of the experiment.

Just when I was stuck in a bottleneck, feeling that people with both bloodlines couldn't possibly appear, I found some information that shocked me.

The border kingdom of Nesery, whose royal family of Imperius possesses blood of both slaughter and fear.

This was made possible because one of their ancestors was blessed by the Light of Endless Time, which prevented the Imperius royal family from being affected.

This makes me wonder once again, is it really true that only gods can influence gods?

"The Light of No End..."

Maginus once again recalled his mother, Hilda, a follower of K who often murmured K's name.

I captured a minor nobleman with royal blood from the Imperius family and, through testing, determined that the two forces within them suppressed each other, achieving a balance that is difficult to achieve under normal circumstances, preventing one side from overwhelming and devouring the other.

I tried to activate the will of the Ks, and as I expected, the two fought each other in the air, eventually collapsing into pieces and falling to the ground!

Clutching the paper tightly, Maginos recalled her first dream and continued reading.

I manipulated a minor nobleman to kill a murderer, and then something unexpected happened.

Within his mind, a "killer" symbolizing the god of slaughter was created, hunting down the souls of minor nobles. When he awoke, his will was clearly incomplete.

After that, I tried to get him to kill a Child of Fear, and a Dark Guardian appeared in his consciousness. The two fought until one died, and then I urged the nobleman to kill the other one, which was already on the verge of death.

Could it be that there's someone else like me?

A sense of joy rose in Maginus's heart. As she continued to read, she discovered that the nobleman in Zodlin's experiment had indeed killed two pairs of blood relatives.

The legendary mage also discovered that the mental dream was still in a state of black and red. He tried to resolve it, but what followed was different from what Maginus had experienced.

These two are deeply ingrained! The remnants of the Ks are still around, and they've spread throughout the entire mental dream world!

I tried to help the nobles cleanse themselves, but I couldn't access the extremely fragmented spiritual remnants hidden deep within their souls!

It's time to change our approach. Since I can't help him clean up, how about boosting his spirits so he can clean up on his own?

712 day

No, as he learns magic and improves his spirit and soul, those remaining spiritual remnants will also become stronger.

Therefore, there is probably only one way to eliminate this last remnant: to let enough soul energy flow into the nobleman's body at once, and let the nobleman control it to clean up the spiritual remnant.

728 day

No, the experiment failed. The test subject simply couldn't control that much soul energy. His soul was even blasted apart by the psionic energy, leaving only a useless physical shell.

729 day

This path is not feasible; it's impossible for anyone to control such strong soul energy. It seems we have to take another approach.

Upon seeing this, Maginus instinctively stood up.

She realized that her survival was a miracle composed of one coincidence after another.

Chapter 329 The Power of Faith May Be Useful

The Light of Endlessness balances the bloodlines of the male and female ancestors with bloodlines of slaughter and fear, possesses their own spiritual abilities, survives killing one divine child on the way to kill another, avoids killing too many divine children, senses something amiss and discovers remnants, and absorbs a large amount of soul energy at the most crucial moment to cleanse and perhaps cleanse their divinity...

Every step was crucial; a single misstep would plunge Maginus into an abyss.

Calming herself down, she continued reading. The legendary mage had changed his research route, and judging from the thickness of the research records, it seemed to have been quite effective in the early stages.

The progress in removing the evil god's will from the Son of Slaughter and the Son of Fear is not going smoothly, but fortunately I have a second plan.

I once studied the power of faith, which is equivalent to an extension of soul energy. Through the power of faith, priests can either connect with the rules of the universe itself to invoke magic, or they can pray to the gods to invoke magic, thereby releasing divine spells.

Gods need the power of faith. I originally thought that the power of faith was the source of divine power, but after a long period of research, I found that this is not the case. The two are related, but not strongly related.

The gods in our universe are almost all from elsewhere, mostly from a universe that has lost its name, where a supreme god controls everything.

In our land, the God of Slaughter and the God of Fear are both extremely powerful deities, but in their land, they have even declined to the point of almost falling into the ranks of false gods.

I've discussed this with some other legendary mages. For powerful gods, such as the chief god of the Elven pantheon, the Light of No End, and the Earth Goddess, the power of faith is probably equivalent to the output line of power flowing to the plane. The stronger and wider the output line, the greater the power they can exert on the prime material plane.

For those gods who are inherently weak, such as the goddess of springs or some demigods or false gods, the power of faith can actually increase their strength.

I don't know which is which, killing or fear, but judging from these results, the power of faith can be transformed into divine power, while divine power is not necessarily brought about by the power of faith.

So, if a descendant of an evil god were to possess the name of a god, could he mobilize the power of faith to transform it into divine power? No, even if he couldn't transform it into divine power, could he mobilize the power of faith to remove the spiritual remnants within his body?

This is feasible. The "divinity" within the offspring of evil gods, which is not even comparable to a firefly, allows them to directly manipulate a large amount of faith power.

"Belief……"

Maginus pondered the word, recalling the energy fluctuations the priests had created when casting spells. She had sensed a power similar to soul energy emanating from them, but she hadn't paid much attention to it.

The energy in the world is very diverse, including positive energy, negative energy, the primary elemental energies of earth, water, wind, and fire, quasi-elemental energies such as lightning radiation, life energy, soul energy, magical energy, and so on.

They influence and transform each other, so they don't attract much attention from non-researchers; most people just use them.

Maginos continued to look, her eyes growing brighter and brighter, as if she had found a way.

Day 750 of the experiment

I acquired another batch of Children of Fear and Children of Slaughter, but the legendary figure who sold them to me said this was the last batch. He was skilled in divination and had a premonition that if we continued, we might encounter danger.

Actually, I've noticed it too. A nameless fear often shrouds my dreams, and I've become irritable, sometimes wanting to destroy things. It's definitely caused by the god of slaughter and the god of fear.

Even after those two bastards died, it's still such a hassle. Once this batch of people is all used up, I won't be able to get involved in related research anymore.

I specifically chose two of my offspring with strong self-control. I first had each of them commit suicide, and then I tried to create a similar doctrinal based on the killing and fear cult, made statues in their likeness, and specially created emblems to symbolize them.
