The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

"Of course it wasn't because of me, but because of the power of another god. I won't tell you the details, but you just need to know that I accidentally obtained the power of a benevolent god, and K helped me clear away a part of the evil god's will."

No, no, no, Miss Human, it's impossible for external divine power to completely eradicate the evil god's will within you. Believe me, I've tested some divine blood creatures, and the power within them is like moss growing on a rock—difficult to completely remove.

Without damaging the stone itself, do you think an ordinary person could remove all the moss growing on irregular stones and even inside some pores? Or could you do it easily? Without using psionic energy.

The power of that benevolent deity can at most shatter the divine will within you; it is impossible to completely eradicate it. It will definitely lurk in your will, waiting for the most opportune moment to launch an attack.

The girl shook her head, ceasing her conversation with the Mind Flayer. She couldn't very well tell it that the two divine powers within her were killing each other.

Just as Maginus was about to continue her training in controlling life force, she suddenly stopped, a question arising in her mind about the desolate, black and red mental space.

Have the influence of K's on me really disappeared?

Unlike themselves, whether they were killing or fearing their own blood relatives, although some of them looked down on the gods, none of them showed any intention to rebel against the Father God. On the contrary, they showed the Ks the utmost respect.

He gained a degree of autonomy through fighting against killing and fear.

The Mind Flayer did indeed remind her that if dreams represented her own spirit, why couldn't her spiritual dreams be changed according to her own will after the monsters of fear and slaughter were eliminated?

Once inside, all she saw was a desolate landscape, with black and red dominating the two sides. If the remaining will of the Ks had truly died completely, then the mental dream could be transformed by Maginus, rather than remaining unchanged.

If she survives to the end, will she become a god, or will two gods merge and fight within her body, or will the Ks reach an agreement to use her as a vessel and then find a way to separate?

The Ks are evil gods, so we shouldn't overestimate the hatred between them. Survival might be the most important thing.

The Mind Flayer's warning cast a shadow over the girl's heart. She looked at the silver sword, hesitating whether to tell the Mind Flayer the truth.

But in the end she said nothing. Mind Flayers were not trustworthy, and even if she had to ask, she would ask a more trustworthy and powerful person.

……

After speaking with the Mind Flayer, Maginus, upon re-entering the dream world, did not continue running as before. She gazed at the world covered in red, with black currently hiding in a corner of the world, barely holding on.

But it was not completely taken over, and it stubbornly held onto its last piece of land.

Maginus picked up a handful of soil from the ground, looked at the soil in his hand and a single blade of grass on it, and a strong mental fluctuation spread out.

She used her soul energy to try to change it, commanding the soil to turn into a normal brownish-gray and the weeds to turn withered yellow.

Then a magical scene unfolded: the soil and weeds turned into their normal color, just as she had desired.

However, when Maginus threw the soil and weeds back onto the ground, they were stained with the surrounding blood and returned to their original color, as if nothing had ever happened before.

As she saw it, the mental dream was indeed affected by her, but the effect was limited, as if some force prevented it from becoming that way.

This was her first attempt. She hadn't paid attention to this strange scenery before, until the Mind Flayer reminded her to experiment in this direction.

The events that occurred in her dream caused Maginos's expression to darken slightly; she realized something.

It seems that the bloodshed and fear of the struggle for survival have not completely disappeared, and they are always waiting for an opportunity to retaliate in this place.

They do not disguise themselves. The Dark Guardians and the Crimson Skull are concrete manifestations of will. Even if the remaining parts after they destroy each other seem harmless to her, they will still have an impact.

So here's the question: if I continue to add divinity to my body, even if the materialized will is dealt with, will the last part that remains enhance the black and red power in my mental dream?

"This is really bad news."

"Magenus said calmly, looking up at the approaching crimson skull not far away, and resumed her kite-flying behavior."

Running across the crimson wasteland, the girl began to notice the changes in the ground as she stepped on it. The ground emitted disordered spiritual energy fluctuations, and she discovered that wherever the fluctuations passed, they would take on colors in her shape, but they would quickly change back to their original colors.

Having created the Nen Blade, she discovered something she might still be in control of: the Nen Blade in her hand, a red, semi-transparent short sword dominated by a skull.

At the bottom of the sword hilt, black claws, identical to those in the mental dream, lurked in a corner, struggling to hold on.

The skull and claws are all symbols of the two gods, and they change according to their own circumstances, not according to the spirit of Maginos.

This is highly unusual. If Maginus's spirit is affected by the Dark Guardians or skeletons, then logically, the claws on the hilt and the skull on the blade should not appear when they disappear.

"I have indeed only unlocked the chains on my body, but I have not completely escaped this prison."

The running girl mocked herself, saying that as a descendant of the gods, the bloodline with the power of the Ks was like a prisoner in shackles.

Ordinary prisoners are still shackled and cannot move freely. Maginus was able to remove his shackles due to a conflict with the prison guards, but he is still in prison and has not yet completely broken down the prison.

……

Startled awake once again, Maginus sat down at her desk, took out the Death Note, flipped to the blank page, and wrote down her findings, trying to find a solution.

Psychic power.

Maginos circled it with her pen and tapped the table lightly. In her mental dream, she could use her soul energy to restore her mental dream to its original state, indicating that there was a chance to deal with it.

If before she could maintain her normalcy without needing a vast amount of soul energy, simply by killing one or two fewer blood relatives, now Maginus "must" obtain soul energy—a great deal of soul energy.

Chapter 193 Advance Payment

"How's it going."

"Bennedy's momentum has grown even stronger. Judging from the current situation, excluding all external factors, his strength is now exactly the same as Ronaldo's."

"Ha, excluding external factors."

Maginus and Jess resumed exchanging intelligence, and recently their intelligence exchange frequency has been shortened from once every ten days to once a day compared to the previous few months.

New rumors emerge in the capital every day, and all sorts of events pile up in the shadows.

Yesterday, Maginus took a moment to visit Benedict, and sure enough, his body was in more disarray. Although his lower realm aura was well concealed, Maginus could still sense that something was amiss.

On the other hand, his own blood relatives also seem to be making some moves. Marcus is taking advantage of his current position to prepare something targeting the cult bishop, and he takes it very seriously.

"The final battle will probably take place at the wedding."

Jess flipped through the intelligence report with great excitement, while Maginus stared intently at him. Noticing the girl's gaze, the captain of the guard turned around and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

“I just wanted to ask one thing,” she slowly stood up, “what level will you likely reach after this is all over?”

"First, he can be promoted to viscount, then lead troops in his territory to deal with those unruly lords. Once things have settled down a bit, he can probably become a general."

A smile played on Jess's lips, seemingly indicating his anticipation for the future. He then turned his gaze to Maginot:

"So, are you planning to stay here or leave?"

"Do I have a choice?"

The girl asked in return, but the captain of the guard narrowed his eyes and said seriously, "The Earl doesn't mind. He told me that if the young lady really falls in love with you, it's fine. You have the potential to become a legend."

"What a pity, I don't like such naive guys, and I still have a grudge to settle."

“Really? That’s a pity,” Jess said calmly, then took a small box from the table as if remembering something. “I wonder if Miss Lenya will have someone else she likes later. Oh, by the way, this is what you wanted.”

Maginos opened the box, inside which lay a bronze ring, emanating a faint magical glow.

Consider this an advance payment from Elliot. The girl had Jess convey her message, asking Elliot to pay her with a self-rechargeable defensive magical equipment.

"You can cast a defensive spell once a day. The defensive shield can withstand my full-force sword strike, but you need to press the incantation on it yourself to cast it. Is that alright?"

"can."

Maginus was able to use liquid life force to achieve the result of pressing a button; whether it was mind control or not was not very important.

She picked up the ring and put it on her hand. She gently pressed the rune, but the ring didn't react. After applying a certain amount of force, a one-sided energy shield appeared in front of the girl.

She casually picked up the short sword and stabbed it directly. The shield cracked slightly under the full force of the attack, but it was not completely destroyed.

"By the way, are you planning to tell the young lady when you leave?" Jess suddenly asked as Maginus was about to leave the house.

Maginus nodded without pausing, saying matter-of-factly, "I will say goodbye to her, at least to let her know that I want to leave."

"Is that so?" Jess didn't say anything more, as if it were just a casual question.

The nobles in the capital had not yet discerned the dangers to come; even Ronaldo believed that Benedic could only mobilize his own forces.

However, it wasn't just Elliott's group that was making preparations; the divine bloodline, who could sense the strange atmosphere and knew that conflict and slaughter were imminent, were also preparing.

Compared to the survival of a nation or the change of dynasties, what Maku needs to face is his own crisis.

"A wedding... I have a feeling that the kingdom will fall into complete chaos at that moment."

At this moment, Marku was in his basement, constantly adding the spellcasting materials he needed to his dimensional bag, while the elf Erra beside him reluctantly helped him with the process.

Upon hearing Marcus's words, she appeared quite excited, licking her lips and her eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty glint.

"My premonition is the same as yours: the wedding at the end of the month will be the time when the killings completely erupt. I can also use the power of killings to target my blood relatives. I haven't asked you yet, do you really think you can defeat your brother?"

"Of course, the situation is in my favor. He is already seriously injured, and even healing spells will have difficulty healing his body. As long as we can deal with the monster he summoned with ritual magic, I can make him my servant."

"Don't forget our contract?"

Erla tugged hard at the collar around her neck, a murderous glint in her eyes. Marku's pupils flashed with a hint of fear, but he nodded nonchalantly.

"Don't worry, I will remove that magical item. After all, it was a contract signed under the witness of your father god and my father god."

With a cold snort, Erra put down the materials in her hand and turned to leave. Marku didn't care about this. After preparing the spellcasting materials, he looked at the many materials in front of him, took a deep breath, and decided to make some powerful and dangerous potions.

Besides being a sorcerer, he was also an alchemist.

After closing the door, Marku recalled the monsters summoned by the cult bishop, a slight smirk appearing on his lips, revealing an impatient expression. He then placed some alchemical materials brimming with positive energy on the table.

There was no other way; most of the creatures summoned by his blood relative were undead. Positive energy potions would definitely be very effective against these creatures filled with negative energy.

Although he doesn't like positive energy potions either, the inclination brought by his evil god bloodline makes him never want to touch anything righteous or kind.

However, he prefers order to chaos, and even if chaos is caused in the process, it is only to make the order what he wants it to be.

"I hope I can still conceal my true identity after killing that guy, otherwise I'll have to leave Crystal Salt Kingdom and develop elsewhere. Wandering is definitely not as good as having my own base."

Marcus muttered to himself as he quickly crushed the materials in his hand and threw them into the crucible. Most of them were metals or stones, and a small portion were herbs.

Soon, he had created a bottle of something he himself hated. Looking at the potion radiating a gentle light in front of him, Marku felt nauseous and quickly put it into his dimensional bag to start making the next bottle.

Don't let their small size fool you; they are actually miniature liquid bombs.

Chapter 194 Wedding Dress and the Scene

"Hurry up, hurry up! We're going to order a wedding dress today!" Lenya urged from the doorway.

Today is the day to order a custom-made wedding dress. In principle, such preparations should begin some time in advance, but unfortunately Ronaldo has never had the time.

The wedding dress and tuxedo needed for the two people had to be made at the same time. In the Crystal Salt Kingdom, this could be considered a blessing, wishing the two people could be together.

Lenya went to order a wedding dress today not because Ronald had time, but because he sent someone to inform the young lady and asked her to have the dress made herself.

Unfortunately, he had too many things to do and had to keep an eye on Benedict's movements, which meant he didn't have time to spend with Lenia. And once he became king, they would definitely spend even less time together.

As for his tuxedo, he will have someone from the bridal shop come to the palace to take his measurements and make another one.

In the letter, Ronald expressed his deep apologies. Lenia appeared indifferent, but was actually quite disappointed. Catherine comforted Lenia while inwardly lamenting that even drinking water could cause problems.

Is the inability to produce wedding attire simultaneously some kind of omen?

Although she felt a little disappointed, Lenia was still very happy to be able to try on a wedding dress, and she imagined herself wearing the dress all the way there.

Upon entering the bridal shop, Lenia and Catherine became excited as they looked at the wedding dresses, while Maginus stared at the items without much feeling.

She was only in the engagement stage before, and the dress hadn't even been made yet.

"Lady Lenya, welcome. Please come over here to have your measurements taken."

A female shop assistant gestured for Lenia to go to the measurement area. The young lady looked at Maginus, and only after Maginus nodded did she follow the shop assistant into the dressing room.

A moment later, Lenia came out, and the shop assistant said with a smile, "You are welcome to take a look and see which one you like. We can let you try it on. If you like it, we will make alterations to the original dress."

"Try this one first!"

The young lady immediately pointed to an off-the-shoulder wedding dress and said that she had only been in the dressing room for a short while when she came out dejectedly without even changing into it.

No, it should be said that they put it on and then took it off.

"Young Miss, why didn't you change into it?"

Catherine asked curiously. Lenia stared at the maid's chest with a face full of grief and indignation. She immediately realized what was going on and, instead of comforting Lenia, proudly puffed out her chest.

"Damn it, Mom's are so big, why am I so small! Ugh..."

“Miss,” Catherine comforted her, “it’s just that the requirements for this kind of off-the-shoulder dress are too high, and you’re not young anymore.”

Although it was meant as a consolation, Lenia still felt deeply insulted. She angrily shoved the dress into Catherine's arms and said furiously, "Since that's the case, why don't you try it on?!"

Catherine shook her head and said, "That's not a good idea."

"If you can wear them, I'll buy them for you and give them to you!"

Upon hearing that she could get a wedding dress for free, the maid smiled and took the dress into the dressing room. When she came out, she even twirled around in front of Lenia.

The young lady's expression became even more helpless, then she turned her gaze to Maginus, and felt much more at ease.

The girl noticed this and, recalling the magnanimity of her mother and older sister, felt somewhat down and didn't bother to explain the situation.
