Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1675 - 122: Palace_3
Previously on Demi-human Girls Completion Manual...
"... Have you calmed down, you trivial fish?"
Just as the two Clan Leaders and Baline were discussing the future direction of the Wutong Tree, Valentina, who had temporarily quieted down, heard the voice of Master Tao in her mind once again.
Valentina detected the reproach hidden in Master Tao’s nonchalance, so she apologized first in her heart,
"Sorry, Master Tao, I was impulsive earlier."
"... Knowing your mistake and correcting it is a great virtue, but I still can’t comprehend the mindset of you trivial fish. While you were furious, the human with Pandora’s power also hesitated because of your husband. Otherwise, I think we might have really stumbled there."
"... Sorry."
"Well, let’s drop it. Love always brings me misfortune, just like it does to you and your husband. But more importantly, I seem to have a clue about the Pandora power on that Human Empress..."
"Really?"
"Yeah, Pandora died in the chaos erupted in the Ideal Country back in the day, but now, on that Human Empress, Pandora’s power has reappeared. Moreover, earlier on, I sensed a very familiar aura there. At that time, I couldn’t distinguish it, but now looking back, I think it’s quite like a relic from my mother, a World Tree Tear. However, that relic should have ended up in the Holy Land and had been forged into an intelligent book by that guy Gabriel."
"An intelligent book? Do you mean Sir Emhart?"
"... With a name like Gabriel’s deceased child, that should be it. But there should have been only one World Tree Tear, so I don’t know why two Tear-Drop Holy Artifacts appeared... Well, it doesn’t matter. You just need to know that an Angel Holy Object forged from the tear will give birth to self-consciousness. And unlike Gabriel’s hideous creation, the Holy Object the Human Empress possesses is extremely powerful..."
"So, this means..."
"Heh, it means that in the mind of the current Human Empress, resides a top-tier Holy Object with potentially all of Pandora’s power, with self-awareness, and it is helping her for reasons unknown. And it seems that the Human Empress isn’t fully aware of this. Hmm, at the same time, it’s still helping that human snatch your deceased husband."
"..."
Valentina was silent for a moment, then her expression turned cold, gritting her teeth, she said in her heart,
"I won’t let her succeed,"
"Hmm, and Pandora and Remiel should have died in the chaos of the Ideal Country thousands of years ago. Their bizarre reappearance now makes me suspect a connection with the chaos... So, while I don’t care if she takes your man, I will still help you fight against that trivial Holy Object."
Upon hearing Master Tao say this, Valentina instead blinked and said somewhat innocently,
"... I thought you’d help me even if the Holy Object wasn’t related to chaos, Master Tao."
"Wake up, if that were the case, why would I help you and that Human Empress pull each other’s hair? If it’s unrelated to chaos and you still can’t handle it yourself, wouldn’t that make you purely incompetent? Train more if you’re incompetent, understand, trivial fish?"
"..."
So said Master Tao, wounded as Phoenix Land.
...
...
At this moment, Fisher was completely unaware of the conversations occurring in the Boundary, nor the brewing storm of a new round of conflict.
When his consciousness returned, and he opened his eyes, he was enveloped in darkness. It wasn’t nighttime, nor was he trapped in a pitch-black place, but rather his eyes were covered by something like a blindfold, blocking his vision.
He struggled slightly and quickly realized that his limbs seemed bound, and he himself lay on a soft bed infused with an extremely pleasant fragrance.
"..."
In the darkness, the contact of the bedding, ropes, and his bare skin reminded him that he seemed to be wearing nothing.
At this point, Fisher couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret.
Of course, he wasn’t regretting being captured by Elizabeth. In fact, from the moment he let go of Valentina’s hand, he knew it was inevitable that Elizabeth would capture and bring him back to the Golden Palace.
Nor did he regret activating the Blessing, which rendered him unable to use Transcendent power to resist in front of Elizabeth.
Alicia had the gaze of the life chaos Divine on her. Upon contact with her, if he didn’t consume her, once the source of life chaos on her sensed Fisher’s arrival, it could turn her into a base, furthering Alicia’s corruption. Clearly, he wasn’t about to regret not consuming Alicia.
He simply didn’t expect Valentina to suddenly show up here. Or rather, he should have known all along that since he arrived here through Keken, someone related to Slime, Valentina of the Wutong Tree would surely know his whereabouts.
He just didn’t expect that naive girl would indeed come to Nali to see him, to take him away, and thus he regretted not preparing a ring for her and abandoning his departure with her at the last moment.
Isn’t this a dilemma?
If he had chosen to leave with Valentina at that time, he would have regretted not stopping Elizabeth’s heart-wrenching sobs at the Wutong Tree.
And now, having chosen to resolve Elizabeth’s issue, he regrets not having prepared a ring for Valentina in advance.
