The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Nia wanted to create a different kind of offspring. She wanted her children to be like ordinary intelligent beings, guided by their environment and knowledge, and not bound by so-called nature.

"...Now I know why you've lived so long."

So far, the two legendary mages she has encountered who broke free from the lifespan of their souls died because they no longer wanted to live. Yet, Nia has always maintained her curiosity about everything; perhaps this is the leisure of an immortal being.

On the other side, the black dragon Tite tilted his head, stroked his chin with a strange expression, and said something that sounded almost mocking:

"So these monsters are your children?"

“No, none of these monsters have my bloodline,” Nia shook her head regretfully. “By now, everything made with my bloodline has died, not a single one remains.”

Creatures with strong divinity would find it difficult to have offspring "normally." In this respect, Nia's experiment was indeed successful; her bloodline did not cause the monsters to mutate, but instead caused them to die.

"So when will it be successful?"

Maginos was indeed very interested; even if it was difficult to have a child with another man, having a child become king in his place seemed like a good option.

"Don't know yet."

Nia flicked her long, dark green hair and rolled her eyes at the two of them: "If it were that simple, what did you think I called you here for? Please, give me some blood so I can do more related experiments."

Chapter 538 Uninvited Guest

Because she was genuinely concerned about having offspring, Maginus generously provided Nya with a large amount of normal blood, while the black dragon was much stingier and reminded Nya that even if she succeeded with her blood, she had to kill the creation before the soul entered the body.

She clearly didn't want to be a mother yet, nor did she want her blood to flow in the body of another creature for no reason.

"Oh, once I've finished, I'll send you a copy of the materials. If you need anything, it's best to contact me in the next few years. By the time I send you the materials, I'll probably be hiding away raising my kids."

As Maginus was leaving, Nya casually mentioned it, but Maginus didn't ask where she planned to go into seclusion; she simply nodded silently.

Maginos considered this legendary mage to be her patron, who had helped her a great deal when she was weak.

If we're talking about friends, then it's not really true. The two of us have always had a transactional relationship, like buyer and seller, and we're not very close.

It's best not to interfere too much in each other's affairs, since we're not familiar with each other and can just be ordinary friends.

Back at the palace, before he could even settle into his seat, a tree spirit rushed in, her clean feet landing on the wooden planks and causing the dead wood to sprout many new branches.

"Your Majesty, we have found something related to the God of Slaughter. We have ordered the army to cordon off the area, and there are still people from the Temple of Slaughter trying to break out."

"Oh?"

Maginus narrowed her eyes and spread her senses, locking onto the crowded area. As she focused her attention, she could see everything clearly, as if she were actually there.

Normally, she only maintains her life awareness on a few key people she cares about, such as Neko, Mila, and Betty, to ensure their safety.

She doesn't usually know about other things immediately; she has to rely on her subordinates.

She wanted to make her life easier by becoming queen. If a queen has to do everything herself, then she's wasted her time on the throne.

When Maginus originally tasked the tree spirits with greening the city, he specifically asked these perceptive spirits to keep an eye out for any cult members who might exist in the city, especially the rare ones who were known for their killing cult.

Of course, the succubi of the Lusty Lips Ball have been excluded from the list.

Maginus was surprised to find such people in the city. She wondered how they dared to come here.

"What is the progress of the backfilling beneath the cemetery?"

The queen, who had just stood up, casually asked a question. The tree spirit nodded and said, "We've filled about half of it. We've also reinforced the soil with plant roots to ensure that nothing can easily get in."

The trees planted by the tree spirits and druids are not particularly special yet, except that their root systems are exceptionally well-developed by the tree spirits, allowing them to penetrate deep into underground caverns.

After more than half a year of cultivation, the roots have hung on the cave walls. Once the soil fills the entire space, the roots can continue to grow downwards and intertwine, further strengthening the seal.

"Good job. Share these snacks with the other ladies."

Maginus handed over some life crystals. The tree spirit showed a hint of joy, took the life crystals and put them away. When it looked up again, Her Majesty the Queen had already disappeared.

"Stop them, don't let them out!"

Inside the cordon, the assembled cultists of slaughter frantically charged at it, their minds clouded, constantly chanting something unintelligible:

"Damn thief Maginus Imperius, when my lord returns, you and your country will vanish from this world without a trace!"

"My Lord, bless your believers!"

The mad killing cultists were actually all residents, each one just like an ordinary person. It was unexpected that they would suddenly erupt after more than half a year. No one knows what happened.

Looking at these frenzied residents, the captain leading the city guards was at a loss for what to do. Just as he hesitated, a cold voice entered his ears:

Kill them all. They're all mentally sound, proper believers of the God of Slaughter. Oh, those who can escape can stay.

Your Majesty Maginos!

The captain was startled. Having received his orders, he knew that these ordinary people weren't controlled by any magic, but genuinely worshipped the current emperor's mortal enemy, the God of Slaughter.

Looking at the people in front of him, he gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and swung it down like a butcher's knife: "Kill all the believers!"

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers, who had been suffering in silence for so long, bared their fangs, raised their weapons, and turned from defense to offense, venting their anger fiercely.

But Maginos was not there; nothing here seemed to concern her.

……

"I've brought the candy over, let's share it."

The tree spirit happily took the life crystal given to it by Maginus and went underground. The tree spirits and fairies who worked with the earth elementals released their spells and came over, happily taking the life crystal and swallowing it.

A flower spirit sat on the leader of the tree spirits and began to complain in a chattering voice: "When can we go back to the ground? I'm getting a little impatient being with these big clods of earth all the time."

Seemingly having overheard the flower fairies' description of them, a cluster of tiny earth elementals rushed toward the little flower fairy, playfully throwing pebbles at her. The complaining fairy immediately ran away with her head in her hands.

Beneath this cavern, the large earth elementals and treants summoned by the priests were the main implementers of the filling project. The silent large earth elementals rarely spoke, simply filling the entire cavern in quiet contemplation.

The temple is now nearly half buried, and the elements are completely insensitive to the will to kill, so they are the best helpers.

Large earth elementals used magic to permanently and irreversibly shape them into large stones, which were then piled up near the enormous temple. Medium and small earth elementals filled the gaps with soil and sand, and finally, tiny clusters of elements filled the gaps, completely compacting the soil.

Currently, only half of the temple is visible outside, and the inside has been filled with mud and sand through the windows. The priests are using rain spells from time to time to help reinforce it, and yellow muddy water keeps flowing out.

It's a tragedy that the Great Temple has become like this. The only pity is that the priests are still human. If they get close to the temple, even if they are followers of other gods, their consciousness will still be affected by the God of Slaughter if they stay near the temple for too long.

They could only work for two hours at most before they had to leave the area covered by the temple's aura to prevent themselves from falling into murderous intent and madness.

When the riots broke out above Dover, some uninvited guests also secretly slipped through the blockade and entered the cemetery, heading straight for the Temple of Slaughter.

Chapter 539 The Deterioration of the Maze is Initially Completed

The fairies, playing and laughing with the earth elemental cluster, offered some comfort to the weary priests.

They sat on a cliff some distance from the temple, occasionally taking out water or dry rations from their bags to eat, and gazing at the temple being filled in, a sense of satisfaction welled up in their hearts.

"Ha, we actually managed to block up the temple of an evil god in this way. I never expected it."

“Yes, it’s a pity about what’s inside,” a young girl who had just become a priest sighed, unaware that her sigh drew wistful glances from many of her companions. “I wonder if there are any high-level or even legendary weapons inside.”

“...Yes, it is a bit of a pity when you think about it that way,” the priest leading the Endless Light team said in a more relaxed manner. “Lena, go to the church and get some samples for me. We’ll need them later.”

"Hey, can't we send someone else?"

Sensing the girl's resistance, the captain still smiled and said, "It's the staff I use to amplify my divine spells. I don't trust anyone else with it. Kenny, you take her with you."

"it is good."

Another priest stood up, pulling the reluctant girl away from the cave. Several priest captains couldn't help but rub their temples and huddle together to discuss:

"I'm dying, what about you?" "Same here." "Almost."

The aura emanating from the Temple of Slaughter tempted everyone's negative emotions, especially greed, which even those who were priests of the righteous gods found difficult to resist.

It seemed to be alive, aware that it might never see the light of day again, or that no intelligent being might ever see it again, and the "alluring" aura emanating from the temple grew stronger and stronger.

Next, they will probably have to carry out the burial operation in batches and in shifts, leaving one group in the underground cave, another group on the surface, and the rest returning to the temple to bathe and cleanse themselves of the abnormal state, changing shifts every very short time.

As the group talked, they didn't notice a cloud of extremely transparent smoke flowing into the cave and drifting straight toward the temple.

Just as they were about to approach the temple, a massive liquid life force suddenly emanated from the ridge, expanding like a mud monster, and rushed towards the smoke to the astonishment of the crowd, enveloping it within its liquid life force.

Once trapped, the cloud of smoke immediately began to writhe wildly, trying to break free from the restraints formed by Maginus. However, the liquid life force quickly began to harden, eventually turning into a spherical crystal, which was dragged away from the temple.

The priests, caught off guard, exchanged glances, hurriedly ran out of the cave, and saw Maginus Imperius standing in the cemetery. They quickly bowed in respect.

"No need for formalities. I knew it was because the hidden members of the Church of Slaughter in the city suddenly attacked. It was indeed to divert attention, and your target must be the temple."

Looking at the plume of smoke, Maginus said nonchalantly, clapping her hands to turn some of her solidified life force into bones, creating a bone cage. Then she released an anti-magic field, completely nullifying her life force and the spell of vaporization.

Several more killing priests suddenly appeared inside the bone cage, all staring at Maginus with eyes full of hatred. When they tried to curse her, she casually slapped their heads off.

After clearing out these invaders from the capital, Maginus dispelled the anti-magic field, glanced at the priests, and raised her hand, intending to help them strengthen their bodies and souls, but fearing misunderstanding, she chose to lower her hand instead.

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work lately."

“Your Majesty Imperius, it is our duty. If there is nothing else, we will return to our work.”

The priests breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the murderous priests who wanted to break into the cave had been wiped out. They bid farewell to Maginus with neither arrogance nor servility, basked in the sun for a while, and then re-entered the cave.

Maginus looked at the corpse on the ground, feeling somewhat helpless about the troublesome situation caused by the spellcaster.

Fortunately, there is still about a month left before the initial construction of the inferior puzzle lock is completed, at which time the royal palace can be used as the central point to activate it directly.

Once the lock is unlocked, things will be much easier. It will become very difficult for anyone not designated by her to use magic within the palace area, while those designated by her will be able to cast spells much more easily.

One month later.

The cavern wasn't filled in yet, but the Maze Lock, as Rachel had predicted, had completed its initial structure and center, and was ready for trial use.

Standing high in the sky, Maginus looked at the various areas of the palace, which had been built in batches by different people. From above, it looked like an extremely large magic circle.

Moreover, it's the kind of formation that can be damaged in one place without affecting the overall formation, and it even has the ability to self-repair.

"The only drawback is energy. If the lock is activated, you will need to provide a continuous power supply, which means you must stay in the palace."

Rachel explained:

"The degraded Maze Lock still has too many shortcomings. To achieve almost permanent protection, a complete Maze Lock is still needed. If you leave, the Maze Lock can sustain itself on its own for about three days."

After three days, it will automatically expire, but it won't be completely disabled; you can reopen it as soon as you return.

“No problem, it’s good enough. I can leave on my own instead of sitting on the throne unable to move or speak. As for movement, I can send my avatar out to help me.”

Maginos had no complaints about the flaws in the magic lock. She closed her eyes and spread her spiritual energy, life force, and magic throughout the palace, injecting the three energies into the magic circle.

Under the influence of the magic circle, they were transformed into stable magic power. The magic power flowed within the magic circle, and a dazzling magical light flashed. All the spellcasters in the entire capital felt a terrifying fluctuation of magic power.

They all looked toward the palace at the same time. A huge barrier completely enveloped the palace, and Maginus's majestic figure suddenly appeared above the barrier.

Her phantom image is exactly the same as the most common image of a deity, with her face hidden under a hood and wearing a scarlet robe, and her golden-red eyes seeming to see through everything.

The deity stretched out a slender hand, palm down with fingers spread, revealing cracks all around, like a split or a hand with blood flowing down. Blood dripped from the middle finger at the bottom.

Blood dripped onto the barrier, which then vanished into thin air. An inexplicable pressure swept across the entire capital, causing everyone who was walking upright to tremble and kneel or half-kneel, as if a mountain was pressing down on their shoulders.

Gazing at the sudden phenomenon, Maginus hadn't expected that activating the degraded labyrinth lock would lead to this situation, and murmured with interest:

"Divine might is as great as a mountain..."

Chapter 540 Barren Mountains

Having activated the Enchanted Lock, Maginus allowed Mira, Betty, and others who had not yet obtained spellcasting permission to try casting spells. It is certain that the difficulty of casting spells in the palace has increased by at least nearly three times.

Even if the spell is successfully cast, spells that continue to produce effects can still have their effects suddenly dispelled within the area covered by the inferior magic lock.

In short, any spells cast by unauthorized spellcasters in the palace become extremely unstable, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of spellcasters below the legendary level infiltrating the tombs and palaces.

"Great, I can finally send out my avatars with peace of mind."

She felt her energy being drawn out of her body, but the rate of extraction was much slower than the rate at which she absorbed and recovered energy, which was within an acceptable range.

She was quite satisfied with the performance of the inferior magic lock. As for the other effects, she didn't need to test them for the time being. It wouldn't be too late to test them when someone with ill intentions entered the palace.

Observing the people in the palace intently, Maginus granted the girls a permanent "license," allowing them to cast spells and move around normally within the labyrinth without being affected in any way.

As for the priests in the palace, she gave them temporary certificates, which she would need to reissue when the time was up, and she could also take them back at any time.

After permits were distributed to everyone present, the palace, which had been shut down for a moment, resumed operation. However, the images that Maginus had just displayed caused a large number of nobles and officials to send letters, politely but discreetly trying to inquire about what had just happened.

Maginus only said that his strength had improved, but did not reveal the existence of the Mystic Lock. It would definitely be some time before it was revealed. Maginus was still thinking of using the Mystic Lock to wipe out more of the remnants of the Church of Slaughter.

As they adapted to the state of having their energy extracted, Maginus and Rachel arrived at the underground magic laboratory and stood in a relatively open area, raising their hands.

A life crystal, specially tuned by the Book Spirit to enhance the connection, was placed in the center. Maginus spilled her blood, which flowed out at a rapid pace, almost reaching the critical point that she could withstand when maintaining her normal strength, before finally stopping.

She wants to create a legendary clone, and the process is not simple; it will take at least half a month to complete.
