The Girls Are All Coveting Me-Chapter 455 - 391: How Do You Want Me to Reward You?
The various factions looked at the new Hero Squad chosen by the Church of Glory and Justice, and found them increasingly familiar.
"Isn’t this the Saint Squad that has been crazily exposed recently?"
"It seems so, the members are basically the same, but can someone tell me why there’s only one male in the entire squad?"
"This is bad, isn’t this the Crystal Palace Squad?"
"Isn’t the real issue why the Church of Glory and Justice chose to appoint a new Hero Squad at such a sensitive time?"
"Your Majesty, there must be something fishy about this."
The various factions were also exchanging glances.
Forming a Heroic Squad means there is an enemy that requires the squad’s attention.
But after the last Demon King walked towards death at the end of the Era of Turmoil, the Demons and their army that the Heroic Squad needed to confront had long become mere dust in history.
Bringing back such an ancient violent organization now gives everyone the illusion of wanting to strongly assert the identity of the Church of Glory.
In the eyes of many factions, it’s not even an illusion.
Not every faction can cultivate industries within the Star Realm.
Only a very few can freely travel in the Star Realm and form Star Realm trading caravans.
Even up to now, the largest trade group among the Stars, the Mayer Trading Company, opens trade channels in the Star Realm mainly as individual merchants bearing names.
Without strength, no matter how many people you bring to the Star Realm, they basically become a burden.
Small teams that can be wiped out with just a few hits; what’s there to look forward to?
It’s better to bring a bunch of life-saving objects and goods and find a handful of wealthy buyers to sell them to.
Due to the complexity of the Star Realm’s situation, there’s still a significant group of factions with obvious informational gaps.
In the eyes of factions strategizing on a millennial scale, a span of two or three years is too short.
But who could have thought that in just over a year, the situation in the Star Realm has deteriorated to this extent?
They could guess that the situation had worsened but couldn’t predict the speed of the deterioration, leading many to hold onto a fluke mindset.
However, with the proclamation from the Church of Glory and Justice, some factions have realized the silent change for the worse, changing their stance and intensifying their investigation of the situation outside the Star Realm.
Let’s not talk about the factional struggles for now.
At this moment in the Amber Hall, Lilith looked at the Red Moon Fragment placed on the table, her face showing a rare expression of delight.
Since her divine essence was torn apart trying to save Fratiss, she hadn’t felt complete for many years.
She never expected that when Chloe and the team went to the Dark Territory, they resolved the most troubling issues.
"This way, the last Red Moon Fragment is also collected." Lilith said softly.
Chloe smiled and asked, "How is it? Aren’t we competent? Do you want to praise me a bit?"
Lilith secretly cursed; this man was becoming more and more shameless.
But the expression on the girl’s face softened noticeably.
"Thank you for your hard work. It wouldn’t have been easy to get those things back from that old woman."
Considering Rose’s nature of strict defense, saying it was easy to retrieve those items would be impossible.
Given Lilith’s understanding of Chloe, he must have used his brain this time, and bringing back all the Red Moon Fragments was no simple task.
"Rose would probably be jumping up and down in her Divine Kingdom by now!"
When bringing this up, Chloe was also somewhat proud.
He acted so quickly that the Spider Queen Rose didn’t even realize it before he eradicated her main forces in the Dark Territory.
Especially with the death of the Zor Elf Queen Hecate...
Although this woman was killed by him at close quarters, it was without any preparation.
—After all, at such a close range, the probability of a mage being directly killed by a top-tier warrior is quite high.
Not to mention the one making the move was Chloe himself.
Was Cang not strong? Was Aik not strong?
At that time, when they were countered, organizing a resistance was very difficult.
But if he hadn’t taken the initiative to remove Hecate first, and she had contacted the Spider Queen Rose and received her blessing and with Rose descending directly... then it would have been uncertain if they could have won.
Winning would be normal, but so would losing.
However, he started with a Seduction Technique to sneak, directly making Rose so mad she could explode.
In this case, he left them speechless.
When Lilith heard Chloe talk about the Dark Territory journey, she too had a smile in her eyes.
"Tell me, how should I reward you?" Lilith smiled at Chloe and asked, "Or do you want to wait until the Heaven-Reaching Divine Artifact is finished and then consider this?"
When the Beauty President said this, the allure in her eyes made Chloe’s heart skip a beat.
What kind of reward could it be? No need to doubt any longer.
But Chloe resisted the temptation and said, "Let’s talk about it later. You need to go into seclusion for a while now."
"Yes, and I really can’t stay at the academy for much longer. When I come out of seclusion, come find me in the Mayer Floating City."
The Beauty President was not annoyed either.
Not rewarding immediately, but later isn’t too late.
As for why she couldn’t stay long-term at the Ethereal Emblem, of course, because she graduated.
Yes.
The Ethereal Emblem has welcomed new students, and now, whether it’s the Fantasy Association or the Extreme Association, the recruitment activities for new students have been delegated to the subordinates.
Even the Extreme Association itself has made distinctions.
Similar to the Fantasy Association, the main office area of the Extreme Association is still at the Amber Hall, but that specifically refers to the Extreme Association with a club nature within the school.
Since its establishment, the headquarters of the Extreme Association has been recruiting new members on a large scale at the social level, and now the main body of core staff has gradually evolved towards an old association.
The proportion of original members in the core has dropped significantly.
It can only be said that the talent demand of the Extreme Association is too high, far beyond what can be gathered merely through the students of the Ethereal Emblem.
In fact, ever since coming out of the Abyss of Woe, Lilith has already completed her graduation procedures.
So now, the place she mainly stays is still the Mayer Trading Company, only coming to school when there are related matters to address.
"By the way, Lilith, I need to meet with our father-in-law first."
"Hmm? Let me contact him."
Although she didn’t know what Chloe planned to do, Lilith was clear that her beloved and the family were laying out some plans.
...
Inside the Mayer Trading Company.
Chloe met Mr. Charles once again.
Soon, Louis’s consciousness descended once more into this body.
"Speak, what is the matter with contacting me so suddenly?"
Kai’s voice carried a hint of weariness, as if he had not quite woken up.
Chloe said gravely, "Has something gone wrong in the Star Realm again? I originally thought the recent chaotic moves from various forces were because someone had realized my awakening, but now it seems like it’s not just that."
"Strictly speaking, it is indeed due to your awakening."
"How so?"
"Because quite a number of small worlds are starting to have issues."
"Not the World Group?"
"It’s hard to doubt there’s no guidance from the World Group behind it."
"Could it be the most troubling scenario, clearing small worlds, gathering world source material, and forcibly boosting faction strength..."
"You’ve guessed right."
Louis roughly explained the dire situation on the Star Realm battlefield.
Chloe finally understood why he appeared so fatigued.
It has been mentioned before that if one wishes to coalesce a True God Uniqueness, the World Will itself needs to pay an extraordinarily high price.
Even the rulers of top-tier worlds like The Stars would significantly deplete their vitality by deriving a True God Uniqueness.
For lower realms, the situation is self-evident; deriving even a True God Trait is extremely difficult.
Possessing an Angel King-level trait in a small world is considered top-tier.
And it is even more so for smaller Half-Planes, and the like.
In fact, if a Half-Plane can support a Saint, it is already quite formidable.
But the premise of all this is to ensure that the World Will itself does not collapse.
However, Chloe always knew that there are other methods to instantly amplify one’s combat strength.
Indeed.
Start the Apocalypse Path.
After all, whether it’s Saint-level traits or True God Uniqueness, they are all composed of the root power of world source material.
Some powerful figures, eager to boost their forces quickly, secretly advance the Apocalypse Path.
Making sure all vitality in the world is annihilated, be it top-tier powerhouses or the grass and trees, all shall encounter a catastrophe for living beings.
After sweeping through life, the World Will would fall into a weakened state, and that terrifying existence invested with billions of beings will no longer be suppressed by world rules.
What does this mean?
The answer is clear, the power will be utterly unleashed.
Ordinary Fireball Techniques, when inherently suppressed by world rules, are roughly the size of a washbasin.
But leaving The Stars and venturing to the Star Realm, this Fireball Technique can instantly expand from basin-size to hundreds of tons in mass.
With everything falling silent and the world declining, the constraint of rules on power will plummet to the bottom.
Means that previously could only cause minor damage, failing to achieve starburst effects, would effortlessly dismember the world itself.
Thus, upon mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the earth trembles, and living beings are devastated. Amidst the world’s wailing, all will disintegrate, and source material will emerge.
The world source material that emerges then naturally becomes the means for the apocalypse executioners to self-promote and forge immortality.
Such horrific scenes, no creature with a conscience wishes to see.
The first to engage in such acts was the Bottomless Abyss.
In its early years, the Bottomless Abyss expanded rapidly by destroying numerous worlds again and again, accumulating a bloody foundation.
Of course.
After the various World Groups realized such actions were intolerable, the Bottomless Abyss, which had previously rapidly advanced through this method, was besieged by various forces.
