It was quite unfair that it could see the monsters chasing it from behind, but its body could move freely in the mud.

Seeing the monster approaching, it opened its big mouth and bit down hard.

Thinking that everything was over, the tiefling boy closed his eyes in despair, but at this critical moment, he felt a burst of burning in his chest.

"?!"

Under his astonished gaze, an inverted cross-shaped mark appeared on his chest...

Chapter 50: Small and fragrant~

"This is... the holy mark..."

Although the news outside had caused undercurrents in the chaotic Demon Realm, Livi, the source of all this, stayed in the southern border with peace of mind.

What she had to do was naturally very simple. The purpose of conquering Sta was to use Sta's powerful body transformation technology to help her come up with a solution to the problem of her physical limitations.

Although Star's Death Tower has been destroyed, Star is well aware of the importance of having three burrows, so she prepared more than one temporary hiding place for herself.

These hiding places are also Star's laboratories. Although the scale is certainly not comparable to the Corpse Tower, as the saying goes, a small sparrow has all the necessary facilities, and the necessary basic arrangements are still there.

It is clear how much time and energy it takes to accumulate such a fortune in a place like the Demon Realm. Livi is very experienced in this.

After all, they couldn't even get a map, forcing Livi to go back all the way to the Stone Age. When Star saw Livi take out her proud stone map, his eyes instantly became wet.

The two looked at each other in silence. After a while, Star choked up and said, "I understand, I really understand, Your Highness Livi, it's really not easy for you!"

At that moment, Livi was actually a little touched, but of course, she quickly put this feeling behind the main business.

The so-called serious business, of course, is to study how to help Livi break through the physical limitations of the succubus.

In fact, the simplest way is of course soul transfer. Directly replace Livi's soul with a new body, then all problems will be solved. Star is an expert in this area.

After all, she had prepared hundreds of spare bodies for herself and had sufficient experience in this area.

However, there is a big problem. If a new body is transferred, will the stigmata be transferred along with it?

After all, the specific working principle of the stigmata is still unclear. Although Livy's human body was destroyed and transferred to the body of this succubus, the stigmata came with it.

But no one can guarantee that after transferring out of the succubus' body, one can still take the stigmata with them. If the stigmata cannot be transferred, then it is naturally impossible to use the previous method.

So, the problem naturally lies with the stigmata. Coincidentally, since Star was interested in this area, Livi asked her to study the stigmata together.

The moment she heard that Livi allowed her to accompany her in studying the stigmata, Sta's eyes revealed an extremely excited look.

"Really? Can I really study the stigmata?"

God knows how much she wanted to study the stigmata herself before, but she couldn't beat Livi and never had the chance to touch the stigmata.

I didn't expect that after losing to Livi and surrendering, I would actually achieve my wish.

Moreover, even if she could defeat Livi, Livi would definitely not cooperate while she was alive. And once Livi died, it was unknown whether the stigmata would continue to exist.

Moreover, the power of the stigmata is bound to Livi. If Livi does not cooperate, outsiders will not be able to stimulate the power of the stigmata to manifest.

On this basis, under the actual hostile situation, Star had almost no chance to study the stigmata.

...But then again, if that's the case, then how did the Empire come into contact with and study the stigmata, and develop a secret method to counter them?

Perhaps it was because of the assistance of one or several generations of brave warriors who had colluded with the Empire?

After all, the Empire had no intention of stabbing Livi in ​​the back. If Livi was willing to cooperate with the Empire, sit on the Empire's side, and become an assistant to the Empire in consolidating its rule, then the Empire would definitely be very happy to maintain a good relationship with Livi.

Livi is still the most honorable hero in the empire, and the youngest general in this generation of the empire...

In short, there should have been many heroes in the past who chose to cooperate with the Empire, which gave the Empire the opportunity to study the stigmata. However, there are still many details that are difficult to understand.

Of course, for now, let go of all these and Livi focused her attention on her own stigmata.

She unbuttoned her dress openly, revealing the inverted triangle mark on her chest. Star had an almost pilgrim-like pious expression on his face and approached cautiously.

For a moment, the pale and sickly face of the lich, who looked like a damp housegirl, turned red, and her breathing became heavy. She stared at Livi's chest and swallowed her saliva.

If it weren't for the fact that she knew she was the Heart Water Stigma, Livi would have suspected that she had some strange and suspicious XP.

result……

"...Hehehe, Princess Livy's breasts are small and fragrant...ah"

Before he could finish his words, Livi flicked his finger on his forehead. He let out a scream and fell down, covering his head.

Over there, Mava, who was originally just squatting behind Livi, was also filled with righteous indignation at this moment, "Don't think that you can tease Livi just because you are a general! I tell you, I can... uh..."

The threatening words got stuck halfway through, probably because Mava realized that she really couldn't beat Star.

Although Star was the weakest among the demon generals and was perfectly controlled by Livi, it was still easy for her to kill Mava and Aenekos.

However, Sita didn't pay any attention to Mawa's provocative words. Instead, he jumped up from the ground and wiped his nosebleed calmly.

"Sorry, sorry, I was too excited just now. Can we start over?"

As she said this, the expression on her face became more serious, and there was no trace of the terrible look she had just had.

"Well, let's get started..."

Livy nodded, signaling Star that she could continue.

So, Star once again carefully looked at Livi's chest...

…Just now, his attention was attracted by the perfect (?) breast shape. Now he finally put aside all distractions and focused on the stigmata. Then, Star asked in confusion.

"Your Highness Livi, is the stigmata this shape and color?"

"Uh..." Livy answered awkwardly, "No, it was originally supposed to be golden and in the shape of a regular triangle. I don't know why, but after it became like this, the shape of the stigmata also flipped."

"……Um"

Star stared at the holy mark on Livi's chest, and after studying it for a while, she suddenly said something shocking.

"It's so strange. The stigmata should be something extraordinary. They are a miracle created by the existence of the 'Immortal (God)'. Why do I look like..."

Star stretched out his fingers and gently touched Livy's chest.

The moment his finger touched the stigmata, a slight electric current flashed on the stigmata, which pushed Star's finger away...

"..."

Star stared at the charred scars on his fingertips, his puzzled expression becoming even more serious.

"I always feel that... it's not as complicated and amazing as I imagined..."

"..."

Chapter 51: A false hero?

"Is it?"

Star spoke very cautiously, because the legend of the stigmata was a miracle bestowed by the great gods. At least that was what was written in the Empire's records about the stigmata and heroes.

However, there are also big doubts, such as what Livi has always been wondering... If the stigmata represents the true God, then why would the empire dare to attack the hero?

Livi's overly naive behavior at the beginning was also due to the fact that she was a brave warrior with the support of the true God, so she was somewhat "fearless".

Of course, this naivety has cost her a huge price, and it also made her begin to seriously examine the relationship between the stigmata, gods, and heroes.

At this moment, Star looked at the stigmata on Livi's chest and said those words.

...Obviously, this should be a miracle bestowed by an immortal (God) being, but why does it not seem so complicated and remarkable in the eyes of Star, who is proficient in magic and various mystical arts?

"Hmm, maybe it's because I'm too weak, so I can't feel the exquisiteness of the stigmata?"

Star quickly tried to justify his words. After all, the stigmata did have many incredible powers. Let's not talk about other things, such as the most important one...

...Levi has the passive skill of "Pain is Strength". The effect of this passive skill is like a buff that strengthens everything. It can transform one's intense emotions into fighting spirit and magic power, and can even greatly enhance one's metabolic capacity. The more serious the injury, the faster the recovery.

Apart from the fact that it still hurts, the effect of this buff is no longer reasonable.

In addition, there is the "super-speed growth" feature that the stigmata gives to the hero, which allows Livi to improve twice as fast with half the effort.

This allowed the former brave man Levi to grow from an ordinary social animal time traveler to a powerful brave man in just a few years of training.

Although Livi works out very hard, when it comes to competing efforts, there will always be someone who works harder than you. You work from 996 to 996 and have two days off a week, while others dare to work 007. If you dare to work , there will be others who dare to work . As long as you can work as hard as you can, you will work as hard as you can.

Since everyone is working equally hard, why should your efforts bring you more results than others?

That is naturally the difference in "talent", but talent also has its limits, which is the so-called limit of "all things".

If one wants to go further, break through the realm of mortal things, and reach the so-called "transcendence into sainthood", it is no longer a matter of talent.

It would take something supernatural to break through that limit.

So far, the only beings confirmed to possess extraordinary powers are the brave and the demon king, and both of them also have "blessings" bestowed by some kind of existence.

The specific form will be shown on the body as marks similar to "stigmata".

There are heroes, and there are also demon kings...

The Demon King hasn't been born for two hundred years, so let's put it aside for now. For the hero, it's the stigmata...

...Precisely because the stigmata are so incredible, no one would doubt that they are a blessing from "God".

But here comes the problem...

Who first spread this rumor?

Who is endorsing this statement?

Did God actually appear before people and tell them that the stigmata were a miracle bestowed by God?

……No!

To be precise, so far only the heroes who possessed the stigmata claimed to have received the "oracle" given by God...

...Levi had never heard this before, but he did hear a voice at the last moment before his death.

But again, there is no evidence to prove that the voice belongs to a so-called "god"... Livi is not even sure if it was an illusion caused by the burning...

It seemed that everyone had subconsciously accepted the fact that "stigmata are blessings given by God" and had no doubts about it.

One reason for this is, of course, that the stigmata do possess incredible powers, and this power transcends ordinary things, so people naturally associate them with "God."

The second key...

"…Imperial propaganda!"

That’s right, Imperial propaganda!

The demons were born a thousand years ago. The Demon King and the demons were born at the same time, and the heroes were born at the same time as the Demon King.

In other words, the history of the heroes is no more than a thousand years...

...and the history of the empire can be traced back to at least 1,500 years ago, which means that the empire existed before the hero existed.

With the Empire's ability to control public opinion in human civilization, it is extremely easy to imprint the fact that "the brave are heroes blessed by God" into the minds of ordinary people.

"Oh, think about it carefully. I accepted this argument without thinking. Now think about it, my identity as a hero... was given by the Empire from the beginning. No god appeared in front of me and told me that I was a hero..."

The main reason is that Livi, as a time traveler, has seen too many similar plots. She traveled through time and gained incredible power bonus. Then a group of local people saw the holy mark and claimed that it was a blessing from God. Naturally, she accepted this setting.

Mainly, the process is similar in many time-travel works. Some heroes will have gods appear in their dreams, but some heroes will only get some symbolic things.

For example, if one draws the holy sword, obtains the holy marks, or displays other "special characteristics", he will be recognized as a hero by the locals according to some "ancient legend".

However, in fact, anyone who has taken general education courses should understand how unreliable ancient legends are.

Legends passed down by word of mouth may very likely become "since ancient times" after only two or three generations. And if official forces are involved, it is very easy to manipulate or reverse public opinion.

The simplest example is that the nine-tailed fox was once a symbol of abundance and was undoubtedly an auspicious animal, but now it has become the evil queen Daji who brings disaster to the country and the people.

Legends and myths are often unreliable, word of mouth is unreliable, and the so-called "prophecies" written in ancient books may not be true.

Livy's fingers brushed across her chest, and she couldn't help but shake her head in a helpless smile.

"So, is there a possibility that the so-called 'hero' is a scam made up by the empire from beginning to end? If so, it is not surprising why the empire dared to attack the hero..."
