The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

The skin is ulcerated, the bones are soft and fragile, and even the slightest touch can turn them into a bloody mess. Even worse, a large amount of mold grows around the flesh, and even tiny mushrooms sprout up.

In this state, the noblewoman remained peacefully asleep, her flesh seemingly struggling against the erosion from toxins and mold. Maginos took a deep breath and gently inhaled the scent emanating from the woman.

It smelled extremely unpleasant, so unpleasant that Maginos frowned. There seemed to be a divine scent in it, very little, but definitely present.

Besides the unpleasant smell, the life force also contains some unique fragrances: unicorn blood, youth water, tree spirit saliva...

All of them were treasures containing powerful life force, which were used on the noblewoman to maintain her vital signs; otherwise, she would have died long ago.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Maginus turned to look at the Grey Eagle King, and Aigoo did not hide anything, telling him what he knew.

Lying on the bed was his queen. The two had a deep affection for each other. The queen was also a high-level spellcaster, so she shouldn't have been poisoned.

However, the queen was poisoned, and the poisoning was sudden. She collapsed while eating and fell into a coma, as if she had fallen into a dream.

As a result, his health deteriorated day by day. No matter whether he used magic or normal medical methods, he could not eradicate the disease and toxins. The disease would relapse the day after it was removed, and it would become stronger and stronger.

At first, he didn't understand why this was happening. While he was trying to resist with various powerful life-saving items, he also invited many powerful priests and mages to try to heal his queen.

The result was the same; there was nothing they could do.

This plague is also infectious, and magical barriers have no effect on it. But strangely, apart from the queen, who is the source of the infection, everyone else can resist or recover through their own strong vitality.

As for killing the queen and then resurrecting her... to be honest, he didn't dare to gamble. What if the plague goddess's plague could even infect the soul?

When Aigo was completely desperate, the mastermind behind all this finally slowly emerged.

“The Plague Church,” Ego said, his expression extremely grim and burning with rage, “They say their church has a solution, that it’s simple for them to cast spells and deal with the plague, all they need is a city.”

Since it's the Plague Church, it's obvious what these guys want to do with the city: spread a plague wave within it and gain their faith.

As for whether she will save people afterward, with the catastrophe imminent, the Plague Goddess might very well choose to accept a blood sacrifice for that little bit of power.

Aigoo was not a good person; he could exchange the residents of an entire city for the queen's survival.

However, he was unwilling. Making deals with evil gods and beings from the lower realms was the most foolish thing to do. They wanted far too much. If he made a request now, what if they continued to demand even more later?

Fortunately, there is always a way out. News of Maginus arrived at that time, and Ego immediately remembered that she was a goddess. Whether she was a true goddess or not, she would definitely be of help in this matter.

Spinning around the bedside, Maginus rubbed his fingertips in thought. Trading a little divinity for a city was definitely a loss, so it couldn't be a consumable. The Plague Priest could probably take back that little bit of divinity, thus preventing the Queen from being affected further.

Fortunately, it was only a small amount of divine energy. Maginus left some divinity in this body, enough to deal with the plague priest.

Stopping in her tracks, Maginus looked at the hopeful Ego Aquila and waved for everyone to leave the room:

"Everyone, get out of here. I'm about to make my move, which might trigger a plague outbreak. It's best to get everyone away from the vicinity of the palace."

Everyone was very curious about the unknown territory, but they also knew that they could easily fall into danger if they were not careful. Even the legendary ones did not dare to underestimate such a spell that left so many people helpless, so they decisively retreated with the other attendants and maids.

Once everyone had retreated outside, Maginot raised her hand, pulled open the protective shield, and placed her hand on the Queen's slightly soft skull. The entire skull felt brittle and cracked from her gentle touch.

Ignoring the damage, a corrosive life force burst forth, enveloping the Queen in a cocoon of liquid life force, which then viciously bit at the mold and toxins that had been spawned by the divine power of the Queen.

Within two seconds, it clears away all the burgeoning malicious life forms, transforming all life force into gentleness. It is then injected into the Queen's body, bringing her a powerful yet gentle vitality.

The damage is repaired instantly, and it looks like it's healed from the outside, but there's actually one crucial step that hasn't been done.

Bloody Hunt!

Opening her eyes, the queen's head and chest emitted a dark, murky, bluish-purple light. Maginos mobilized the divinity within her, entered both parts, and easily found the lurking plague divinity.

It is said to possess divinity, but in reality, it is less than a fraction of the divine power of a normal killing of a divine child; it is merely a small amount of aura. If it were not for its ability to conceal itself, other legendary spellcasters could also find a way to restrain and extract it.

Maginus's divinity rushed toward the aura, sealing it tightly and extracting it, thereby disrupting the stable magical structure it provided, allowing the Grey Hawk Queen to escape danger completely.

Withdrawing her plague divinity, Maginos opened the window and waved to the crowd, indicating that her mission was complete. The life force fluctuations beside her made her turn around and meet the Queen's gaze:

"Queen Greyhawk, you're awake?"

The woman, still somewhat dazed from just waking up, was suddenly confronted by Aigue, who burst through the door and rushed to the bedside, embracing his queen tightly.

"Darling, you're finally awake!"

The queen, who was being held tightly, finally realized what had happened, and hugged her husband back, comforting him in a low voice.

Chapter 688 Great Powers Go to War

Let the couple, who had just reunited, rest for a few days. Maginos did not stay in the palace, after all, she liked women, and there were several of Aigo's queens in the palace, so it would be inappropriate for her to stay there.

Aigo gave her a fully furnished house, very close to the palace. Maginos naturally accepted it without hesitation and was quite comfortable with the maids serving her.

In the past few days, she also took some time to visit the church for the victims, brought out that wisp of divine energy, and asked the church if they needed it.

After all, the victim has the divine authority of healing, so the divinity of plague is probably useful to him. He can use it to research more ways to deal with the Goddess of Plague, or even directly transform the plague into medicine.

Finally, after Aigoo recovered, Maginus was invited to the study again. This time, the legend was not there; only she and the Grey Eagle King remained.

Now, let's talk about national affairs concerning Nizmore. The legends have sworn not to get involved in politics, so naturally they won't concern themselves with these matters.

"Your Majesty Imperius, this is the plan I wrote. Please take a look."

The Grey Eagle King's tone was grateful but still lacked respect. Maginus didn't care about his tone, picked up the paper and flipped through it, nodding or shaking his head from time to time.

His plan was simple: to rush in and gradually seize Nizmore's territory and towns. After Maginus's arrow, Nizmore's forces were greatly weakened and they certainly hadn't been replenished yet.

Furthermore, the internal strife within the royal family is intensifying, with princes and princesses who have lost the struggle still plotting a comeback. In such circumstances, the country is most vulnerable to destruction.

Seeing this, Magnius was also somewhat moved. Now the tables had turned, and she was finally able to attack Huyneth Nizmore's capital and burn down his palace.

"Is there anything in the plan targeting the capital? Disrupting the capital could have a huge impact on the war."

She raised her hand to her chest, feeling the joy of her revenge, and looked up to ask, "What do you plan to do? I can help you."

After a long silence, Maginos shook her head: "Your Majesty Aigo, you can do as you please. Just call me whenever you plan to attack the capital, and I will come to help."

Aside from her enemies in the capital, she had no interest in the rest of Nizmore's affairs. In that case, it would be better to leave everything to the Greyhawk King, who, as a capable and warlike monarch, should be able to handle everything.

"Really? That's even better."

Aigo breathed a sigh of relief. If Maginus had made any difficult requests, such as launching a direct attack on the capital, things would have been really troublesome.

Fortunately, Her Majesty the Queen did not want to command the army; it was best for everyone to do their own work.

"By the way, when will the attack begin?"

The plan did not specify a time for the attack, hence Maginus's question. Aigoaquila stood up with a cold smile, picked up the magic crystal and transmitted the message: "Everything is ready, now is the time."

Maginus raised an eyebrow; she sensed Aquila's anger. This shouldn't have been an emotion during the attack on Nizmore, meaning he was doing something else.

With his eyes closed, he released his life force, and sure enough, the entire capital was thrown into chaos. The priests of the Plague Church, who were hiding in the capital, were being killed, and their secret chapels were being destroyed.

He wasn't just going to attack Nizmore; he wanted to take a two-pronged approach to deal with the Plague Church that had provoked him.

“It’s not a good idea to anger the Goddess of Plague.”

Maginus reminded her, and Aigo nodded: "I know, the problem is that these priests can't contact the Plague Church. They all acted on their own. Of course, I can also help the Plague Goddess kill these self-serving people and then befriend the Plague Church in other areas."

King Greyhawk was actually quite clear-headed. His enemy was not the Goddess of Plague, nor was he worthy of being her enemy. Therefore, this operation was merely to deal with the guy who had attacked his queen.

After dealing with the Plague Church in the capital, he specifically funded the Plague Church in another city so that it could gain more faith; in short, it was a kind of exchange of benefits.

Evil gods are ruthless. They are happy to see exchanges of benefits happen, and the deaths of believers are simply a matter of entering the kingdom of gods sooner.

Having nothing better to do here, Queen Maginus of Nesery soon took her leave of King Aegon Aquila of the Grey Eagle Duchy.

The meeting between the two sides and the invasion of the Kingdom of Nizmore by the Duchy of Grey Eagle indicated that they had reached a certain alliance. This news spread rapidly, but it had little effect on Nizmore, since the war had already begun.

"Kill! By Grey Hawk!"

The flag bearing the image of an eagle fluttered on the flagpole, catching the soldiers guarding the border in Nizmoir completely off guard. The Gray Eagle soldiers had torn a gap in their defenses.

In the sky, a flock of eagles continuously hurled alchemical potions, which exploded as they fell, causing great damage to Nizmore's soldiers.

The attack was too sudden. The troops near the border town were completely wiped out, with thousands killed and at least 100,000 captured alive. According to the statistics of the Gray Eagle Principality's army, most of them were civilians just a few months ago and had not even received systematic training.

The Grey Eagle Principality chose to release these individuals directly, while also reminding the civilians that those whose homes were in the interior of Nizmore might be captured again, and advised them to carefully consider whether they wanted to return.

"You Greyhawks dare to tear up the treaty between the two countries? Aren't you afraid of Nizmore retaliating?!"

The captured Nizmore general roared at the Grey Eagle general, while the Grey Eagle Duchy officer took a puff of his cigarette, tapped his temple, and said condescendingly:

“Nizmore is finished. Let me think, was it after that arrow, after the result of that arrow was revealed, or after the Goddess of Death wasn’t sent away and almost the entire Bloodstained Society was wiped out…”

"Brother, it's a good thing you were captured so early. At least you'll have a place in our Grey Eagle Duchy if you join us. So, do you want to surrender?"

Upon hearing the enemy general's words, Nizmoir's soldiers collapsed to the ground, their hearts filled with despair. They realized that Nizmoir might not be able to escape the crisis of national annihilation this time. The cause was an attack on a small border country, in which they wiped out the royal family, but spared one member.

Even if the Grey Eagle Duchy withdraws its troops, Maginus will still destroy the capital.

Before the war that destroyed the world began, Maginus was the only god among mortals, and there were no taboos!

Chapter 689 Strength Improvement Needs to Be Even Faster

While it may seem like it has no taboos, that's only because its original body can be free from taboos. Moreover, it was thrown into the outside world by a group of guys using a secondary artifact, and it's impossible for it to return in a short period of time.

To be honest, avatars can be dealt with. Don't be fooled by how easily she cleaned up the Bloodstained Guild; it's because the legends were terrified and couldn't mount any effective resistance.

As things stand, even after absorbing the life force of an entire city's population, Maginus's strength is still considerably weaker than that of the previously killed god-like being, Fuelson. If more than twenty veteran legends were to come, her avatar might very well be worn down to death.

Fortunately, everyone outside thought the assassination attempt had failed. She didn't usually display her divine abilities much, so her enemies wouldn't think that the person currently acting was her true form, and therefore wouldn't dare to act rashly.

Wearing the tiger skin of her true form, Maginus waited for the Grey Eagle Duchy to make a move against Nizmore before sending her avatar away from the duchy and heading further west.

It is said that the jungle, which has not yet been touched by ordinary humans and elves, separates the two societies, and only those with intermediate strength can cross the wilderness jungle to reach the other society.

In short, the distance between the two sides is very far. Cosimoya did use advanced teleportation to go there, but the problem is that there are also mazes there. If humans want to get there, they have to cross the pine forest at least the first time.

"The elves' rules are so rigid; they actually expect us to walk over there."

Neko couldn't help but complain as she ate back-to-back with Melu and Mira. That's right, Maginus brought three people with her on this trip: Melu, Mira, and Neko.

This trip nearly emptied the palace's inner court of its officials. Fortunately, she left behind a communication spell in the palace, so even though important personnel had left with her, there was no need to worry. The other maids could complete their palace duties under Neko's command.

"Well, the view is nice, Neko-nee. Besides, we have a house, so there's no need to sleep outdoors. It's already pretty good."

We are all people who have suffered, so we don't care about the hardships we face. The present moment is nothing compared to the struggle for survival we had before.

After eating and drinking their fill, Maginus threw his staff on the ground, and a small house appeared before them, pushing aside the trees. Mira, who was accompanying him as a maid, disconnected the communication in the crystal ball and went into the house first to clean it. Only after she finished cleaning did she let everyone else in.

After more than ten days of travel, they had gradually moved away from the last country in the far west. The surrounding area was becoming increasingly sparsely populated, with monsters, insects, strange plants and animals everywhere, and the trees were becoming more lush.

This means they are almost in the jungle, and they don't know how far the Elf King's capital is. According to the druid Cosimoa, it would take at least two months to get there without rest.

"Phew, I hope everything will be alright."

The four of them squeezed onto one bed. Maginus reached out and hugged Mira and Meru, while Neko hugged Maginus from behind. They fell asleep, using each other as pillows. Meanwhile, the original body in another world opened its eyes and rubbed its fingers, continuing to cleanse the divinity and curse within its body.

She possessed a great deal of divinity, and after numerous trials, it seemed that the divinity within her had not diminished much. On the contrary, her divine sparks grew stronger. The problem was that she was still somewhat far from being a demigod.

This gap cannot be bridged by the amount of divine sparks. Maginus rolled her eyes and decided to ask the Ancient Tree of Wisdom in the morning.

She can use advanced teleportation spells; after asking questions, she can teleport back without any problems.

The next morning, the diligent Queen left the three of them to watch the house while she used a teleportation spell to leave the room and arrive at the outskirts of the Tree Spirit Forest. She greeted the little fairies flying around her and reached out her hand for them to come closer and absorb her life force.

"mine!"

"Go, it's mine!"

"Stop fighting, everyone gets a share."

The little fairies clung to Maginus's fingers, opened their mouths and put the fingertips in, licking them instead of biting them. Seeing how much they liked her, Maginus stopped caring and led the fairies to the Tree of Wisdom.

"The crisis is over? We don't need to lift a finger anymore? Your Majesty Imperius..."

The ancient tree opened one eye, its gaze sweeping over the area with understanding: "So that's how it is. It was your backup plan after you were kicked out. Clever. In that case, you've come to ask me how to get back?"

"No, I already have some clues, and the information you gave me is probably outdated. I came here today to ask you about something else."

Maginus opened his palm, emanating a powerful divine aura far more intense than that of the Tree of Wisdom: "I possess immense divinity, yet I have not become a demigod."

"Don't rush... When you come back, you will be able to completely... become a demigod."

"That's too slow."

Maginus shook his head. The ancient tree of wisdom remained silent for a moment before choosing to point out a method: "You are already doing it. You are using divinity to refine your soul and body, and infusing them with divine power. There is no other way but to let things take their natural course."

"...Can I use external divinity to attack divine fire, faith, and divine power, causing them to coalesce?"

"Yes, it's very dangerous."

"It's ok."

To find a faster way to become a demigod, he transformed into a form and returned to the vicinity of the jungle to continue his journey, while his true body closed its eyes and re-entered the mental dream.

In the realm of spiritual dreams, several divine entities continue to wreak havoc, while Maginus's murderous divine nature waits on the sidelines, hoping they will both be weakened so he can reap the benefits.
