Richard’s eyes narrowed as he carefully considered the implications of the princess of Ell’s words.
Faith and believers were things that only gods needed. They were also the source of power for those who controlled the rules.
The other party. Was the other party a god?
There was something strange in his heart.
Richard was about to speak when the princess of a fallen kingdom, who was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, interfered again.
Grief filled her voice.
“Great Ruler, when we were fleeing, we heard that the traitor, the raging blood duke, had already believed in the evil god of the abyss… His betrayal was most likely the evil god’s lure.”
“The entire Ell Kingdom will turn into hell if we fail to stop him!
“In the history of the Kingdom of Ell, the abyssal rift has lured countless people and caused several devastating disasters.”
She cupped her chest and bowed again as she spoke.
“We sincerely beg for your help.
“We will erect your statue in every corner of the Ell Kingdom as long you could help us restore the kingship of the royal family of Ell.
“Everyone will sing praises of your glory…”
Richard’s eyes flickered.
‘Was the abyssal evil god involved in this?’
It wasn’t that arduous when he charged at Lolita.
He had exhausted all his life to attack. He lost consciousness in the end before he could reach the spider goddess.
A god in his peak state was indescribably powerful without the obstruction of the planar power.
That evil god. Did it also have the idea of taking advantage of this plane?
Was it because of the temple and faith that the other party mentioned?
He couldn’t miss that opportunity, although he couldn’t know what benefits faith could give.
The value of this dimension might be higher than he had expected.
He momentarily pondered and slowly said, “Descendants of the royal family of Ell, your bargaining chips are not enough.”
She looked at him with determination.
“What else do you need? I would give it to you as a reward as long as the Kingdom of Ell has it!”
The princess had already mentally prepared herself when he summoned him.
They would have to pay a huge price if they wanted this existence from another plane to retrieve the Kingdom of Ell.
However, as long as they could kill the traitor and restore the glory of Ell Kingdom, she would pay any price.
She could even sacrifice herself.
It was difficult for outsiders to understand the pain brought about by the overlapping hatred of the country. It was enough to make people sink into the abyss.
Moreover, the raging blood duke wanted to drag the Kingdom of Ell into the endless darkness to serve the evil god!
That added even more pressure to her already heavy heart.
No matter how she looked at it, as a descendant of the royal family of Ell, she had to stand up and save her people.
At all costs!
Richard gave him a meaningful look.
“Rare resources, special troops, alchemy technology, magic…I need them all.”
“Yes.” The princess nodded solemnly.
“I, the descendant of the royal family of Ell, Tundel Ell, swear on my soul and my ancestors that as long as I retrieve and restore the Kingdom of Ell, I will give you anything you want!”
That was a brave disposition!
Richard couldn’t help but look up at the girl when he heard her decisive words.
He finally decided this moment. This plane of great potential would be the next target for Twilight City.
He was extremely curious about this unfamiliar plane.
He had collected myths in the “Shining Era.” Several legends stated that people went to other planes to obtain rare treasures and resold them to make a fortune.
Some powerful spell casters owned an entire plane as their magical plant planting area.
Moreover, this plane had a complete system. The underground had even short of food. The treasures they could obtain in developing this would benefit Twilight City enormously.
He pondered and continued afterward.
“Princess of Ell, do you have any means to connect to other planes?”
“My territory is not in your plane…”
She said bitterly afterward, “We can communicate with you because of the planar summoning array engraved below the altar… However, something had destroyed this array.”
She cupped her chest and bowed again as she spoke.
“I’ll have to ask you to do it personally…”
Richard nodded and said nothing. He was confident with the void sandworm around.
“Hand over the treasure that contains the power of this plane to me… I will use it to anchor the spatial coordinates.”
The planes outside the primary floated in the endless void. Plane barriers protected them.
Finding a specific plane without coordinates was like finding a grain of sand in the sea.
The difficulty was beyond the heavens.
She unhesitatingly pulled a necklace around her neck and broke it.
“Great Ruler, my father gave me a necklace. It contains the power of my bloodline. Do you think it’s feasible?”
Richard waved his hand slightly.
The sand around him flew over and brought the necklace to him.
Warmth still wrapped around it as he held it.
He sensed it carefully, and the energy in the necklace was superior to that of an ordinary 5-stars treasure.
He did not say anything else and kept it in the system space.
At this moment, he suddenly felt his heart palpitate.
He looked down, and the body condensed from the energy dissipated… It was time to descend.
He didn’t waste any more time and said decisively.
“I will open the spatial passageway tomorrow.”
“Yes, Your Majesty…”
She spoke, and Richard’s projection shattered like a foam board. It turned into pure energy and dissipated.
The air returned to silence.
She stared at the spot where Richard had disappeared with a complicated expression.
The result of the rescue of the Kingdom of Ell was still unknown, although she knew she had summoned a powerful existence.
She pondered for a long time and turned to look at her younger sister. The younger sister wore a nun’s robe.
She said slowly with a hoarse voice.
“Elsa, do we still have hope?”
Elsa showed meaningful expressions that didn’t match her age. She was only seven or eight years old. Her tender voice sounded softly.
“At the very least, that existence didn’t lie when he spoke to us… I could sense the kindness he exuded. That was the aura of the soul. One could fake it.”
Tundel heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. She then looked up at the ceiling where the giants fought with demons.
She muttered.
“Father, he must be blessing us from the heavens…”
The two fell silent again.
Tundel spoke again afterward.
“Elsa, what is the history of that overlord?”
The skinny figure in a nun’s robe slowly shook her head.
“Sister, it doesn’t matter what the other party’s background is. What’s important is that He has no ill intention toward us. That would be enough.”
Tundel was silent.
She took a deep breath and knelt on the ground again. She clasped her palms together and prayed again.
“Oh Great Ruler…”
Elsa looked at this scene with a subtle look in her eyes. Then, she slowly knelt down.
******
The wisp of soul power dissipated, and Richard felt a deep sense of fatigue in his soul.
He felt weak. It was like he had not slept or eaten for three days.
He shook his head. He forcefully suppressed his fatigue and turned around to head toward the exit of the Hero’s Altar hidden in the yellow sand.
Master Karu and the others still anxiously waited for his resurrection.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly when he thought of this.
This time, he had entered the graveyard of the gods to complete the S-rank mission on nightmare difficulty. Although he had gone through many twists and turns, and even in the end, the little centaur Emily, Alves, the god’s ancient tree, the dark soul eater Kratos, and he had all died.
But he succeeded in the final goal.
He thought of this and glanced at the system space.
A bloody heart was beating inside.
He immediately became excited.
He stepped into the passageway.
He went through the crimson moon, the Kingdom of Ell, the vampire archduke in the blood coffin, and the god of deception.
Twilight City would enter a new stage of development with this revival.
