The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

During this period, Maginus would often consciously view things from a divine perspective, her emotions became stable, and her personality became cold, like a block of ice.

The change in personality was not a contingency plan left by the two evil gods; divinity itself can bring about a transcendent influence.

Simply put, her current state is that too much divinity is suppressing her personality. Having noticed this, Maginos plans to rest for a while, adjust her body, and adapt to the divinity she has now acquired.

To become a god, one must have complete control over one's power; otherwise, one is merely an imposter who possesses divinity but does not know how to utilize it.

"Oh... Your Majesty, I can't take it anymore."

Mira, who was standing with difficulty next to Maginus, spoke up. Maginus pinched her cheek, signaling her to step back and let another child come over.

The overwhelming pressure emanating from the divine aura affected her life; divine pressure was no longer a burden that the weak could not feel.

The butler and maids were forced to move to more distant locations, and Maginus could only move around in the throne room, bedroom, and study most of the time. Going out would more or less cause a disturbance.

Only the believers could stay by her side for a while, but fortunately, Maginus had already made preparations and would replace all the maids with her believers from now on, so it was not a big deal.

Now, most of the contact with Qiling and Qiling outside is done by Mira or the children, which is also a way to train these little guys.

If there is a situation that requires Maginus to appear in person, she usually creates an avatar to go out and discuss national affairs with others.

Regulating the divinity within her, Maginus pondered what aspects she should strengthen next.

Chapter 513 Approaching Victory

Tracking capabilities are no longer a concern; simply improve them gradually through Blood Hunting.

Maginus planned to use these divine properties to further enhance her immortality, mainly in terms of her soul. She hoped that even if her soul was sealed, it could be transferred to the blood remaining in the outside world.

Yes, it's similar to the god of slaughter and the god of fear. It can be reunited with other people's bodies and come back to life. However, Maginus relies on its own life force and cannot, for the time being, completely shatter and return like the two gods.

She can do without it, but she can't be without it. In case of any danger, she's counting on this move to revive herself.

In addition, we need to enhance the offensive and manipulable aspects of life force, making clones like the avatars and blood puppets more powerful so that they don't have to do anything during group battles.

Reaching into the divine spark, Maginus crafted her own abilities and characteristics. In the process, her soul merged deeply with the divinity, and the uncontrollable pressure gradually lessened and was absorbed into her body.

The process is slow, but effective.

By using contracts to bring together the generals and nobles of the defeated territories, Maginus's administrative system got back on track.

For the time being, no one dared to outwardly comply but inwardly defy them. The saying "the gods are watching over us" was not just an empty phrase; Maginus was already a true god in their eyes.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and Maginus was expanding her territory at an increasingly rapid pace. So far, the edge of her territory still seemed far from the capital. In fact, her powerful army was fully capable of striking directly at the heart of the capital; she was just waiting for an opportunity.

"Your Majesty, the army has arrived at White Dove City. Shall we go and observe the battle?"

Mira stood beside Maginus and reported that six months of practice had successfully suppressed the divine pressure. Leona acted again, but this time Maginus was condensing her divinity while killing the divine child, and would not suddenly increase the pressure like before.

Similarly, the more divinity she possesses, the faster she can convert small amounts of divinity. It is believed that once the divinity reaches a certain level, it will become very easy for Maginus to convert the power she obtains from her blood relatives.

"River City."

Brushing her hand across Mira's beautiful face beneath the black veil, Maginus reached out and squeezed Mira's palm, her consciousness gradually drifting away.

The third greatest threat to Shelter Territory is White Dove City, and the second is Riverflow City. Each of these two cities has more than three mid-level cultivators, which is quite a lot.

Having one or two more mid-level units isn't a problem; you can overwhelm them with sheer numbers. The real issue is that both cities happen to be places where Maginus has stayed for quite some time.

The army was therefore hesitant to act rashly, as it would be difficult to deal with any potential harm to those associated with Maginus.

"It's not appropriate for me to show up. If I do, it will only show that I'm sentimental, which could put some people in danger. Where is Neko? Call her and your sister over. Oh, and Betty too."

"Tell them to go to Riverman City, find the president of the Psionic Mutual Aid Association, and persuade him to join our side. If possible, have him persuade the nobles in the city to surrender."

"As for White Dove City, inform them to move it there."

Maginus was quite grateful to Oren, the president of the Psychic Mutual Aid Society, for making a deal with him about psychic knowledge; otherwise, she might not have made it this far.

After being infused with life force and knowledge by Maginus, Neke finally became a qualified intermediate professional five days ago, and his strength increased significantly.

Mia's assassin skills have gradually matured, and she can now stand on her own. As for Betty, she learns very quickly. Moreover, after laying a solid foundation with Ronfield, she was officially handed over to Rachel Bertie to assist and learn from the Book Spirit.

She has already learned two or three spells. Although she has just become a low-level spellcaster, it is enough with some spell scrolls used by mages.

"Yes, I'll go and inform them right away."

Mira bowed as she left, and many servants in the corridor bowed to her.

Everyone knew that she was about to replace the butler and become the manager of the castle, so naturally no one looked down on Mira because of her age.

Watching his young apprentice leave, the steward sighed with emotion, wondering what else he could teach him.

Having confirmed that he had passed on all his knowledge to Mira, he was prepared to hand over his position and did not intend to stay in the castle any longer.

As the saying goes, serving a king is like serving a dragon, let alone Maginos. For the past two years, the steward has been in a state of constant fear. Although things have improved somewhat later, he still worries every day that if Her Majesty the Queen is in a bad mood, she might kill him to vent her anger.

He wasn't the only one; others shared the same fear, but thankfully they didn't see Maginus often.

He was already quite old, and according to the original plan, he should have resigned from his position as butler a year ago. However, when he was teaching Mira, the old butler breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he still had a normal retirement day.

Standing before the study door, the butler mustered his courage and knocked. Her Majesty's voice came from inside: "Come in."

Upon entering, the white-haired old man placed his hand on his chest, bowed, and sincerely presented his resignation: "Your Majesty, I have taught you everything I can. I wish to resign from my position as steward."

"Okay, all the wages have been settled. Thank you so much for the past two years."

"Don't dare to take it seriously."

When the old butler stood at the door, Maginus knew what he was going to do, and she had no intention of keeping him tied to this post forever.

The people in the castle will all be replaced eventually. Since the butler has taught everything he can, he can naturally leave. After all, he doesn't know any secrets and is just an ordinary person.

"Hmm, we should also train other maids, especially those with divine magic. Isn't it a waste of their talents to use divine magic for washing dishes and cleaning?"

After the butler left, Maginus stroked his chin thoughtfully, but low-level divine magic is meant for convenience, so using it for cleanup is normal.

……

Meanwhile, Mira arrived at the somewhat eerie woods and, hearing clanging and laughter inside, realized that Neko was fighting with her sister. Standing outside the forest, she shouted:

"Sister Neko, Sister, His Majesty has something he needs you to do!"

The sounds of gunfire ceased, and deep shadows and flashes of lightning swept through the woods. Neko and Mia arrived one after the other in front of the maid. Mia hugged her sister, while Neko reached out and ruffled Mira's long hair.

"What do you need us to do, Master?"

"We're sending you, your sister, and Betty into White Dove City."

"Okay, let's get ready and set off."

Neko and Mia agreed. After the cat left, the older sister and younger sister, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, shared their recent daily lives. Knowing that the other was doing well gave them more motivation to do things.

Chapter 514 Secret Weapon

"Did you know that yesterday the Wind Shelter Territory officially set off for White Dove City? It probably won't be long before it's our turn."

"Why doesn't the city lord surrender? Damn it, is he related to Ebes?"

"Moreover, the capital hasn't sent anyone yet, but I see that their army is growing stronger."

"Hush, don't talk about state affairs."

In the taverns of Riverman City, locals and outsiders alike quietly expressed their dissatisfaction with the actions of the city lord. They dared not make a loud noise for fear of attracting the attention of the guards, but they still dared to speak in hushed tones.

It's not easy to get around inside the city, but it's a bit easier for outsiders. The checks are a bit more complicated, and you have to pay more to get in and out, but otherwise, they can come and go as they please.

The local residents are different; they are not allowed to leave, and if a war breaks out, they will definitely suffer the greatest losses. More importantly, the increasingly severe lockdown has caused prices in the city to skyrocket, and many people can no longer afford to eat.

"I've heard that the Sheltering Wind Command guarantees that the army will not burn, kill, or loot. Is that true?"

"Pshaw, I don't think so. They're not some religious army of a benevolent god..."

A man and two women sat at the dining table, fiddling with the food and listening intently to the conversations around them. After finishing their meal, they exchanged glances and went into the bedroom, finally dropping their pretense.

"The residents below are also dissatisfied with the choice of the city lord, and we don't know what the nobles are thinking."

With a slight turn of the ring, her appearance blurred, the tallest man removed his disguise, and Mia returned to her original form, conversing with Neko and Betty.

"Theoretically speaking, they certainly wouldn't want to hold out to the death. Our lord and His Majesty have always treated nobles who surrendered voluntarily with great kindness, and even left them with enough autonomy."

Betty expressed her opinion somewhat reservedly; as the weakest person there, she didn't dare to speak loudly.

"In short, I'll go to the Psionic Mutual Aid Association tonight. If I can win over the other mid-level members in the city, the city lord's opinion will be completely irrelevant."

Lying on the bed, swinging her legs, Neke raised her hand to indicate that she should take charge. Mia turned her ring to transform back into her previous male form: "Okay, I'll go to the city lord's mansion to scout ahead first."

The rogues decided on their tasks. Betty, as a mage, couldn't help, so she chose to stay at the inn and do logistical work, casting spells to bless the inn while waiting for good news from her two older sisters.

As darkness fell, the invisibility spell and the elegance of cats were bestowed upon the two women, and they split up to move towards their respective goals.

When Neko arrived at the Psychic Mutual Aid Association, she looked at the somewhat dilapidated courtyard, climbed over the wall and jumped in. Her ears twitched slightly, but she did not release her psychic energy. She simply used her physical senses to check the situation inside the courtyard.

Having received Maginus's memories, Neko discovered that the yard was exactly the same as when her master had arrived a few years ago, almost unchanged.

As for the people inside, there will definitely be some changes, as long as the chairman is still there.

Her ears twitched slightly, and she heard soft voices coming from her right. She jumped down from the wall and groped her way to the source of the voices. Gradually, she could hear the conversation clearly and discovered that a small child was eavesdropping through the window.

“President Oren, it’s time for you to take sides. Believe me, I’ve seen the secret weapons in the capital. Maginus’s army has no chance against them.”

"If that's the case, then what do we need to do? They should just take action. All they need to do is keep the army of the Wind Shelter Territory outside River Man City."

“It will take time to fully debug. As long as Heman City does not surrender, we can delay it to some extent. Other nobles are hesitant about whether to resist. As long as you mid-level nobles express your opinions, we will definitely be able to get them to make a decision.”

"What exactly is this secret weapon? How am I supposed to know if it's a lie if you don't tell me?"

"It's really hard to say..."

The sound lowered, and someone went to the window and opened it. The eavesdropping child immediately tiptoed and hid. A strong man scanned the surroundings and closed the door again.

The owner also remembered this person; he thought his name was Hans.

Even at a time when the capital was showing signs of decline, he still wanted to continue following Ebeslut. It seemed that the secret weapon gave him a lot of confidence, but no one knew what it was.

Nek continued to listen, and upon sensing a fluctuation of spiritual energy, immediately raised her hand to release spiritual energy, concealing her figure as much as possible.

The two psychic energies clashed, but her stealth was superior, blocking the detection and preventing the two people in the room from noticing anything amiss.

"Alright, come with me. The city lord's mansion has defective goods provided by the capital, specifically for helping. Once you see them, you'll understand why I feel the scales of war are about to tip in the capital's favor."

Oren and Hans pushed open the bedroom door and walked towards the city lord's mansion. Neke, curious, followed behind them and tapped the back of her hand.

There is a spell on the back of his hand that allows him to communicate with Betty. He can receive messages by tapping the spell, and Betty can also send them back.

She also shares the same magic with Mia, so the two stalkers can exchange information through Betty.

How are things going on your end? I need to go to the city lord's mansion.

Me too, they say the city lord has a secret weapon.

Upon arriving at the city lord's mansion, Neko and Mia reunited.

Mia could enter alone, while Mia remained outside. As a low-level Shadow Dancer, she was too easily discovered, especially since there might be more than two mid-level Shadow Dancers inside.

As she approached the mansion, the stench emanating from within made Neko frown, her constantly twitching ears revealing the nausea she felt.

I smelled this scent when I went to the capital; I never expected to encounter it here again.

Secret weapons, specially made undead creatures... What exactly are those people doing that they can keep the experiments going?

Cursing the negligent church staff, Neke hid in the shadows and followed Oren and Hans into the dungeon of the city lord's mansion. A large group of nobles had gathered there; almost every one of them was a prominent figure in Riverman City.

Neko nestled in the shadow of one of the nobles, using invisibility and his superior stealth skills to avoid attracting anyone's attention.

Following them, the city lord soon appeared before everyone. He first bowed to everyone, and then solemnly introduced the current situation of Heman City.

"I'm sure you all understand our current situation, and there's a reason why I've chosen to stand with the capital."

"Putting aside the impression that Maginus is evil and dangerous, judging from the strength of their army alone, they seem to be getting stronger and stronger. In fact, they have developed a secret weapon in the capital. Please take a look."

In a specially modified deep pit within the dungeon, the iron door slowly opened, and a heavy roar of beasts came from inside.

Chapter 515 Using Animals as Substitutes

The person could peek inside and their vertical pupils contracted.

Well, she may have misunderstood the church. She didn't expect that Abes would stop using intelligent beings for experiments and start using animals instead.

What appeared before everyone was an undead, biologically formed tiger. Its sharp claws and teeth, and the bone covering its broken skin, showed that it was more than just an undead creature.

Generally speaking, weaker undead creatures are actually more vulnerable than before they die. For example, skeletons, when catalyzed, might completely disintegrate if hit with a stick.

Take zombies for example. Weak zombies can be killed by farmers with farm tools. Only by absorbing enough negative energy to evolve can they become stronger.

These tigers, however, are different. I have seen how these killer-like monsters are made, and their speed is indeed capable of mass production.

Using human beings might reduce the spirituality brought by soul fragments, but using wild beasts or magical beasts can easily cover it up with the church.
