Why must the devil be Defeated?-Chapter 1071 - 935: The Goddesses’ Fury

Mitra Kingdom, Royal Capital.

Today, the Royal Capital was unusually bustling, reminiscent of past times.

This kind of atmosphere hadn’t appeared even once during the more than a month since the war was declared.

But today, the Royal Capital once again welcomed this long-lost lively atmosphere.

The reason was simple.

It was because, on this day, the Royal Capital finally received the first victory report in this war that had lasted over a month.

"Through the heroic rescue by Hero Shane, the captive Beastman Priests and Goddesses of the Divine Race were successfully rescued."

"Also rescued were important figures used to threaten various Beastman tribes, who had been captured by the Beastman hybrid Gewura."

"The Beastman Gewura was successfully subjugated, and the Beastman Race formally declared their return, abandoning darkness for light, once again joining the Human Race and Divine Race to discuss the great task of resisting the newborn [Primordial Demon]."

This news spread throughout the Royal Capital on that day, bringing back the lively atmosphere of old.

This was the first piece of good news the Human Race and Divine Race had received since the war began.

For over a month, the Human Race and Divine Race had been at the mercy of the cunning calculations of the newborn [Primordial Demon], making morale extremely low.

Coupled with the Demon Clan being trapped in the Demon Realm and all gates to the Divine World being destroyed, making effective support impossible, our side had been at a disadvantage in this war.

So, the rare victory report finally restored much of the morale, and the Royal Capital became completely lively.

Especially when Shane returned to the Royal Capital with the Beastman Priest Group, Goddesses, and the legions of various Beastman tribes, all citizens of the Royal Capital greeted them like generals returning from victory, disregarding the still-existing threats of the Refined Demons and Demon Infants, and gathered outside the city gates, cheering grandly.

Among them were the King Anxi, Heir Apparent Liya, Princess Luoqi, and the Temple Pope, all leading the welcome for the returning Shane and others.

Naturally, the Beizut Family members were also present.

Most people didn’t know Shane had quietly left the Royal Capital, undertaking covert operations and achieving such great feats silently.

For this, Vivian and Riley both brought their respective companions here to welcome Shane with everyone else.

Tielle, Merica, and Lu Muya were also present. Only Lasha and Lilith were absent. Even You Lin had transformed into her Black Dragon form, roaring as Shane returned, her dragon’s roar piercing the sky.

This showed just how inspiring Shane’s achievements were on this journey.

Perhaps this was just one action and didn’t mean the upcoming war would become much more favorable for the Human Race and Divine Race.

However, since this was rare good news, the Kingdom naturally publicized it to inspire and boost morale, preventing our side from being unable to see the dawn of victory and losing confidence, leading to panic.

In view of this, under the Kingdom’s deliberate publicity, Shane’s achievements on this journey turned into a grand triumph.

The Royal Capital couldn’t help but become lively again.

Even the Elf Country sent congratulations, grandly lifting spirits and morale.

The Beastman Race was thus reaccepted by the Human Race, becoming a much-desired force for the long-without-aid Human Race and Divine Race.

In such circumstances, Shane and Iris also received an audience with the Goddess of Fate and the Life Goddess.

This was also a deliberately publicized statement.

Being officially received by two of the Three Great Goddesses in front of the public was enough to keep many people emotionally stirred for a long time.

In the eyes of the people, the Three Great Goddesses were still supreme beings, the pinnacle of their faith in the Divine Race.

Being received by two such beings was, to many, considered an extremely honorable event.

The Royal Capital was immersed in this atmosphere, basking in a long-awaited clamor, restoring much vitality.

Afterwards, the Beastman Race members were solemnly welcomed into the Royal Capital by the Kingdom, joining its defensive line.

The Goddesses reunited with their kin and passionately recounted the journey to them.

According to them, Shane’s deeds were nearly deified, receiving great admiration and reverence.

Many Goddesses were like missionaries, caught up in it, astonished, and eventually, each one became a fan of Shane.

Shane didn’t know about any of this.

He simply went into the Royal Palace with Iris, meeting Lidas and Anima.

"Anima Goddess!"

Upon seeing Anima, Iris rushed into her arms like a wronged child.

"You’ve suffered, Iris."

Anima embraced her Blessing like a tender mother treating a cherished daughter, gently stroking Iris’s head and patting her back soothingly.

"You’ve all really worked hard."

Lidas also approached, glancing at Iris, then at Shane, her joy barely concealed as she kindly inquired.

"It seems your journey wasn’t easy."

Luoqi was also present, looking at Shane, whose brow bore signs of fatigue, sighing and unconsciously holding his hand.

Present were only these three.

Even King Anxi and Heir Apparent Liya couldn’t be seated with the Goddess of Fate and Life at this moment.

But they had already greeted them at the gate, probably understanding this was not their occasion.

Shane shrugged and said,

"It certainly wasn’t easy."

Who would have thought that a rescue mission could uncover so many things?

Especially for Shane, this journey could be considered a milestone in his life.

The reason is simple.

He took a crucial step towards achieving transcendence, awakened the dormant hidden power within him, and discovered the existence of the Red Jade and Blue Treasure, uncovering a long-forgotten ancient history.

Of course, Shane hasn’t mentioned any of this to anyone yet.

Therefore, from others’ perspectives, Shane’s sigh was just a reflection on this journey.

Lidas spoke up.

"I have understood most of the situation."

Lidas said so.

Before Shane and the others returned to the Royal Capital, the Beastman Priests and the Goddesses had already contacted this side to briefly explain the entire process of the incident.

"Although I don’t want to believe such absurd things happen, to be cautious, let me ask first."

Lidas spoke in a deep voice.

"Did the new-born [Primordial Demons] really use Death Magic to awaken the two former heroes?"

When these words came out of Lidas’s mouth, the atmosphere at the scene became heavy.

Everyone could hear the anger and uncontrollable sorrow in Lidas’s voice.

Anima was the same, her face gloomy.

You must know how unbelievable, angry, and sad they were upon first hearing this news.

Because if the ones resurrected as the dead were heroes, then they were once blessed by the Three Great Goddesses and fought side by side with them as companions.

Compared to the ordinary goddesses, the Three Great Goddesses undoubtedly had a closer relationship with the former heroes, more like intimate comrades-in-arms.

Their blessings had been granted to the heroes time and time again, guiding them from the closest distance, always watching over them, witnessing their growth bit by bit.

Thus, for Lidas and Anima, the heroes of the past were not just comrades but also nurtured by their own hands, even considered as their children.

Now, how could they not be enraged and anguished to know those children were desecrated, used as puppets by evil enemies after death? It’s conceivable.

As a result, the first topic they brought up after returning was about the awakened heroes, rather than anything else.

In contrast, Shane, Luoqi, and Iris were not as angry and sorrowful as Lidas and Anima.

After all, the matter of those two heroes was too distant from their era. They might feel indignant but found it hard to resonate with the profound anger and sorrow of Lidas and Anima.

Shane looked at Lidas and Anima and nodded.

"I didn’t see the Holy Sword nor know them, so I can’t confirm if they were past heroes, but they did display strength comparable to demons, surrounded by dense Death Qi, and were certainly resurrected undead by Death Magic."

Shane said this.

"As far as I know, no other transcend-level powerhouses besides the former heroes could have died once and then returned, right?"

Thus, the identity of the opponent can pretty much be assumed with confidence.

"Damn it!"

With confirmation, Lidas couldn’t help biting her lip, and an astonishing aura surged through her body.

"To desecrate the dead and heroes, those people of the new-born [Primordial Demons] deserve to die."

Even the usually gentle Anima showed a face full of anger, speaking in a tone much harsher than usual.

The two highest-ranking Goddesses, just beneath the main God, were furious together, causing the entire palace to tremble under their terrifying aura.

"A... Anima Goddess!"

Iris spoke with some fear and concern.

"Lidas Goddess..."

Luoqi also didn’t know how to comfort her own main God well.

They could understand their main God’s anger, so they found it challenging to offer comfort or consolation.

Children they watched grow up, revered as Shane’s heroes and close comrades, were now used by enemies in such a manner, becoming neither human nor ghost-like undead. Such a feeling could easily drive someone to madness, which was understandable.

The other Goddesses were equally furious when they saw the two heroes resurrected as the dead, showing just how esteemed and influential the deceased heroes were in the eyes of the Goddesses of the Divine Race.

Only Shane could still speak in this situation.

"Since it has already happened, being angry won’t help us."

Shane sighed and began to speak.

"What is imperative now is that we must reassess the strength of the new-born [Primordial Demons]."

This was a necessity.

No matter how it happened, the result was that the new-born [Primordial Demons] now had two more transcend-level individuals.

"Now, their high-end power is not much inferior to ours."

"What should we do?"

Shane’s question heightened the already oppressive atmosphere.
