The two, having confided in each other, gradually regained their composure.
They continued to delve deeper into the Maze.
But this time, Aisha finally felt that Chloe was truly by her side.
However, there was one thing Aisha couldn't let go of: "What's happening with the Locke Empire?"
"Are you referring to the Headless Knight incident?"
"Yes."
"It seems like someone important had an incident in the Maze, and it should be a core member of the Thirteen Bloodline Families."
Regarding this matter, Chloe was also quite puzzled.
The Locke Empire, in the mid-phase of the 'Simulated Hero,' was a game region that Rephya primarily explored, where she was active for half a year.
Especially that Princess Swordswoman, with her strong methods and top-tier strength, once caused Xiaolu quite some trouble.
But at that time, there was a slight stance conflict between the Locke Empire and Rephya.
Later on, the two sides reconciled, and the Princess Swordswoman helped Rephya a lot.
Especially when opposing the Demon King later, she played a positive role.
Wait, something feels off.
Chloe then realized that the biggest villain in Simulated Hero was himself.
From the game's ending, his situation probably wasn't that great.
He subconsciously frowned.
Simulated Hero was divided into the light and dark lines.
The light line followed the Heroic Maiden Rephya as she constantly gathered potential allies to fight against the Filthy Moon Demon King.
While the dark line was about how the Filthy Moon Demon King gradually fell out of control, eventually becoming the mastermind of the internal catastrophe of The Stars.
So...
Rephya searching for the Princess Swordswoman as a partner to contend with the final villain... isn't it me?
But with his and Rephya's current situation, expecting them to produce five children was an understatement, hoping for them to be foes?
It's kind of comical.
But there is something indeed worthy of note.
Which is how exactly did he fall in the game?
But if it was only the power of the Filthy Moon Demon King, with information gradually returning to his body, it should still be relatively easy to control.
Why did it deteriorate into a dangerous fall?
He couldn't quite understand.
Unless...
"The issue isn't just with me?"
Chloe murmured.
Aisha turned her head to look at her beloved and asked:
"Did you think of something?"
"I just thought of some issues that I might have overlooked."
Seeing Chloe's unspoken thoughts, Aisha knew these issues involved very high levels.
She instinctively clenched Chloe's hand, her desire to become stronger more fervent.
Fortunately, Chloe had told her a method to become stronger quickly.
The Abyss of Woe had some effects of the Abyssal Blood War, typically, the effects of the Abyssal Blood War would only be bestowed upon Maze Monsters.
Maze Monsters killing Adventurers or killing each other could accumulate some power to a certain extent.
But outsiders killing Maze Monsters wouldn't trigger the Abyssal Blood War, though they could obtain the complete Extraordinary Traits within the Maze Monsters.
However, there is a special case.
And that's the demonized Adventurers.
They can also enjoy part of the Blood War's effect in the Abyss of Woe, of course, this effect depends on the degree of the Adventurer's demonization, and there's a risk of being enticed by the Abyss, leading to mental contamination.
At a certain stage of the game, Rephya encountered a special group who had become demonized due to excessive longing for the effects of the Abyssal Blood War.
They caused Xiaolu a lot of trouble.
Logically, Chloe wouldn't let Aisha use such means easily swayed by the Abyss.
But Aisha had methods that those demonized Adventurers didn't possess.
First, her innate talent, balancing between a Pure Enchanting Demon and the Enchanting Demon Queen.
Second, Chloe had techniques including a Demon Eye modification surgery and Star Element Technology to transfer Demon Power.
Third, Master Heisha provided Aisha with exclusive technical support for Star Realm Armor.
He had verified it.
With these three methods working together, the pollution Aisha could endure increased exponentially.
No problems should arise before reaching the critical point.
And the mere Abyss of Woe alone couldn't push the pollution to the critical point.
Because... the critical point was at least Sequence Three.
Even nearing Sequence Three, Chloe had ways to transform this power.
After all, with the Holy Bone available, controlling such pollution power became much easier.
Furthermore, Chloe's own use of Filthy Thunder was not exactly a clean element.
One might say that Aisha's minor issues were child's play compared with the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch's power contamination.
However...
Is it the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch's issue?
Thinking of this matter, Chloe's eyes flickered slightly.
Within the power inherent to the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch, the Pride Uniqueness was fundamentally an Abyss characteristic of deep pollution.
And the Dark Night Uniqueness was deeply connected to the Shadow Plane, which, although treated him well back in the day, inherently remained a negative energy nest.
Moreover, half of the Storm Uniqueness came from the Demon Hall as well...
It can be said that any kind of uniqueness other than the Titan Race is full of chaos and destruction.
This pure pollution is so colossal that it surpasses the sum of malevolence of many small worlds.
When he transforms into the Filthy Sun, he is practically an indiscriminate attack on any World Group before him.
If I remember correctly, even in the Nine Levels of Hell, which were just watching and had no intention to participate, many devils were "purified" by his destructive light.
And this is with the innate talents of the Titan Race as a foundation.
Let's put it this way.
The innate talent of the Titan Race should actually be called Earth Uniqueness.
As the pinnacle force governing the earth, he naturally also possesses the "capacity" to bear all things.
It is this "capacity" that enabled him to devour Pride, Dark Night, and half of the Storm.
But even the Earth has its limits.
Beyond this limit, someone is needed to help expand its volume.
So, at that time, Abigail chose to come to his side, to absorb the power of the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch within him.
After all, Abigail represents the Supporting World, embodied by the World Tree, which is the best premise for stabilizing him.
Originally, being on the brink of being devoured by this terrifying power along with all his insights, he was safely reincarnated because of Abigail.
And the cost turned out to be merely causing Annie, or Desire Mother Tree, to be born?
So...
Various thoughts passed through his mind, ultimately converging into a subtle idea.
"I think I finally understand what the situation is."
The Earth is supporting Dark Night, Pride, and half of the Storm, but the capacity is insufficient and is about to give in.
Therefore, by introducing Abigail's concept of Supporting World on the basis of the Earth, the powers of the two people merged together, equating to a complete world.
So there's always a possibility for Dark Night, Pride, and half of the Storm to be reintegrated.
The reason the Storm separated from his body might not be due to a lack of adaptability.
It more so was because he truly couldn't house so much power within his body anymore.
So, if he wants to participate in the battle in the future, he must collect enough elements.
The Earth is already in his hands.
What he needs to do is to gather a variety of forces that can stabilize himself, with him as the core.
Then... how did Kai do it?
His situation is similar, with only Dragon's Uniqueness belonging to The Stars, and the rest of his power coming from the evil side of the World Group.
[When I get back, I need to ask Lilith. Kai seems to have more freedom than I thought.]
According to various histories, 13,000 years ago, after Kai transformed into the King of Fury, he returned to the future.
And that future should be 7,000 years ago.
That is the end of the Era of Turmoil.
At that time, Kai was still constructing his own small world, right? However, looking back at history, there is no record of Kai being affected by the power of Fury.
Then there's only one possibility...
Before Kai ascended to the King of Fury, he had already met the prerequisites to bear the pollution of the Great Sin.
So, 13,000 years ago, when both of them ascended to Pride and Fury, he could still survive after sequential battles.
But he himself was instead backfired by Pride, and though he slaughtered the quadrants, he burned out his life.
Where lies the difference?
He meticulously listed the prerequisites.
13,000 years ago.
When Chloe transformed into the King of Pride, he was equipped with Pride and Holy Bone.
When Kai transformed into the King of Fury, he was equipped with Fury and Dragon.
Logically, Dragon's Uniqueness wouldn't accommodate Pride more than Holy Bone, not to mention that Chloe had Abigail's help back then.
In all fairness, his damage should have been lesser.
But the reality is that he directly burned out.
So it's certain that there is another logic chain behind Kai's ability to bear Fury without depleting his life bar.
Wait, could it be...
Chloe revealed a surprised expression.
If we view it from another perspective, if he can gather the two concepts of Earth and Supporting World now, he will surely be able to stably bear the power of one Great Sin, and even more so, easily bear another highly polluting Dark Night power.
But the concept of Supporting World belongs to Abigail, and he cannot kill Abigail to obtain this power.
Yet to borrow the concept of Supporting World does not necessarily require gaining authority.
There's another simpler way — and that is to create a Pantheon.
The god of this world is not perfect.
But if compatible gods create a Pantheon around the Main God, they can fill in each other's domain voids.
Hence, special god groups such as the Glory Pantheon and the Redemption Pantheon were founded.
"Aisha, what do you think is the simplest means for gods to construct a Pantheon?"
Chloe turned to look at Aisha, his eyes brightened up.
Aisha looked at Chloe in confusion but seeing that he wasn't joking, she began to think carefully.
Eventually, she gave an interesting answer, "Could it be Divine Marriage?"
Chloe finally smiled.
Indeed.
The outcome is obvious.
It is Divine Marriage.
A binding contract between god and goddess, merging the Divine Kingdoms and starting the Pantheon.
This is the simplest method.
