Chapter 1495: Chapter 68: Man (2)
Elliog gave him a glance, speaking with a tone of begrudging helplessness,
"Are you saying you haven’t been brainwashed by that guy Paimon? You believe what she says? If we go by her words, even if we have to wait for the right timing to make a move on Rafael, why wouldn’t those two Eighteenth Rank Demon Gods just tie her up instead and wait for the right time? Why go through all the trouble to let her stay in the Dragon Court for so long? Do you think Agares and Barbatos have brains squeezed by a Gate?
"There’s definitely a reason they haven’t touched that Dragon-man Species girl of yours yet. The timing is right, but there must be other conditions—a condition that cannot be fulfilled by simply tying her up... In order to achieve this condition, they definitely can’t capture her, and must even wait for her to command her troops... So, rest assured, even if you close the portal, they definitely won’t do anything to that Dragon-man species, won’t even retaliate..."
Fisher pondered for a moment, then nodded and said,
"How many portals do those two have?"
"The number won’t be many, but the problem is the distance between their residences. One is at the Curiosity Gate, the other at the Performance Gate, and most likely, you’ll have to enter their palaces, which will be very troublesome. It’s best to split up and break them at the same time. Otherwise, if you destroy one after the other, they’ll receive news and rush over from the other person’s portal."
Elliog sighed and continued,
"But the most critical issue right now is not just the portal itself; we still don’t know where Paimon stored the base used to operate the confusing seal. Although due to its effect, it definitely won’t be far from the seal set by the Fake God, just hidden within the Dynasty... Yet, considering Paimon’s cunning nature, it must be hidden with concealed aura in a very secret place. It definitely won’t be hidden in her palace."
Indeed, finding the base is the real trouble, and Fisher has basically no clues regarding it. The Demon Dynasty is so vast, finding it precisely is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
"Well... Mr. Fischer, what exactly is the base you’re talking about?"
Just as Fisher and Elliog’s conversation fell into a momentary silence, Moli, lying on the bed behind them, suddenly spoke up, causing both to simultaneously look towards her,
"You’re awake, Moli?"
Fisher quickly moved to the bedside, checking her current state, but Moli simply held his hand to indicate she was fine.
In fact, at their current ranks, they wouldn’t really feel uncomfortable, although Fisher is quite terrifying in this aspect, he would only feel exhausted and difficult to support later on, without doing actual harm to her body.
Behind them, Elliog yawned, still holding his arms without intending to reply, leaving it to Fisher to explain what the base is.
Fisher gave Moli a rough idea of its origin and efficacy, as well as its extension, the scarlet pollution from the Spirit Realm.
And Elliog, still holding his arms, added another explanation upon hearing this,
"That base isn’t just the base for the descent of Spirit Realm pollution, it’s also a pass for exercising its power, having the nature of its corresponding authority, allowing them to twist the Fake God’s seal to release them. But the base itself isn’t dangerous once pollution is cut off; Paimon must have used some method to apply its chaotic power..."
"Scarlet chaotic power..."
Moli looked outside the door, as if a glimmer ran through her dark eyes, then she suddenly said to Fisher and Elliog,
"Well, Mr. Fischer... If it’s like this, I think... I can sense where the base you’re talking about is located..."
"What did you say?"
Fisher and Elliog looked unexpectedly at Moli sitting on the bed, seemingly not expecting her to say such a thing.
"You... can sense where that thing is?"
Facing Fisher’s disbelief, Moli appeared somewhat uncertain herself, she just kept looking towards the doorway, as if seeing through the castle walls, the lava burning outside and the cliffs of obsidian stretching deeply into the Demon Dynasty...
It seemed she saw some lingering scarlet mist within, that mist contained intensely rich chaotic power, seemingly beckoning her.
"Yes, but I can’t specify the location. I just... can sense the existence of that thing."
"...For real, just sleeping with Fisher and you suddenly can sense it? How come I don’t have this ability, is it because we haven’t done it as much and long as you all do, or is it about posture..."
Elliog rubbed his chin, to be fair, she really lives up to being a Demon God’s existence, effortlessly causing a train to whistle out with just a sentence, rolling past Moli’s face and making her blush, quickly explaining,
"No, it’s not that! It’s... I just seemed to have a dream, dreaming about my dad... He said my chance to enter Mythical Rank is there, and then just as I was trying to see it, the dream ended, but I could still feel what kind of opportunity dad was talking about... It’s the thing with scarlet eerie aura, I’m also not sure if that’s the base you’re talking about..."
