Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 741 Celia's Determination
"Among the abilities that the Goddess of Fate is good at, there just happens to be the ability to manipulate dreams."

“Like Sister Alina?” Celia asked.

"The focus is different, but she is better than Alina."

As he spoke, Ross shook his head.

"This ruin is similar to the one you encountered in the far north, but there are also some differences. The ruin in the far north was constructed purely from dream energy, while this one is a combination of subspace and dreams. The combination of the two can create more peculiar landscapes and strange creatures that the ordinary world cannot support."

"So... this is a relic left behind by the goddess of fate?"

"It's highly likely, but there's also a small chance that someone asked the goddess of fate to create it."

Regardless of whether it was the goddess of fate or not, Celia was almost certain that this was a relic left behind by a god.

Celia couldn't help but wonder what the god who left behind this ruin wanted to do.

Professor Katherine previously speculated that the second phase, in addition to testing willpower and strength, might also test the level of divine contract...

Is that deity perhaps looking for a successor to inherit the divine relics?
Celia felt that the probability of this was quite high.

Coincidentally, while I don't know about other aspects of their Saintess Squad, their divine bond level is at its maximum.

Perhaps for this reason, their rewards in the first phase were more generous than those of others.

Thinking of this, Celia looked at Doris.

At this moment, Doris finished asking all her questions. She felt Celia's gaze, looked over, paused slightly, and then said, "Celia, is there something you want to say?"

Celia shook her head: "No, I just want to ask our best captain, what should we do next?"

One sentence was all it took to turn Doris into a cuckold.

She smiled and said, "Hmph, of course we'll go out and explore. But Miss Aimo said there's something wrong with those three horses. If they charge over there, it will cause the ruins to collapse. So, to be on the safe side, let's explore the city first. Let's explore the area of ​​this huge city first, then divide it into regions and explore them one by one."

"To prevent the situation Miss Aimo described, we can monitor the level of pollution at any time. If the pollution exceeds 50%, we will return here and continue exploring once the pollution has subsided."

Because the blood might manifest differently each time it enters, Doris simply refers to it as contamination, as that stuff has similar characteristics to contamination.

Of course, it can also be called Honkai Value or something, but the word 'contamination' sounds more natural, since it's all generated by monsters anyway.

Benovia said, "Perhaps we could try other methods, such as dispelling the blood stains, or following Miss Amo's old path, summoning the three horses, defeating them, and seeing what happens afterward."

Aimo's face turned pale, and he quickly said, "You'd better not try this last one. Those three horses... we can't beat them."

The girls looked over. "Really? We don't believe it."

Aimo said, "We tried our best but couldn't defeat them. They seemed to be immune to all spells. All our spells, even if everyone used their strongest spells to attack them, couldn't leave a mark on them. Melee swords were also unable to harm them."

"I see. Then we can postpone the priority of facing those three horses a little, since there's no rush."

With that, Doris stood up and called to Celia and the others, "Let's go, we've rested enough. Today's task is to figure out the extent of this ruin... By the way, Miss Aymo, would you like to come along?"

Aimo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Is it okay?"

"Of course you can, why not? One more person means one more source of strength."

"I have a favor to ask..."

"Please say."

"Do you have any extra teleportation badges? I'd like to try and see if I can leave with you when you're ready to go."

"Yes, we have plenty of teleportation badges, not to mention anything else." Doris said proudly, taking out several teleportation badges from her spatial ring and tossing them to Aimo.

Amo caught it excitedly.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

The group reached the edge of the streetlight, ignored the glass cover, and flew outwards.

The glass rippled as they passed through, as if water had been splashed open, but it did not stop them, and they emerged from it quite easily.

The next moment, the feeling of being watched by a monster quickly arose.

Doris looked towards the depths of the city. "Mere ruins? There's no ruin I, Doris, can't conquer! My men, charge!"

Celia rolled her eyes.

Where on earth did Doris learn such strange words?
Instead of proceeding slowly on the ground, the group chose to fly over the city.

Monsters can appear from anywhere, so it's better to be high in the sky for a wider view.

Celia looked into the depths of the city and saw that the distance, like the sea, was a hazy gray.

"This ruin doesn't seem to be very big," Celia thought to herself.

Ross chuckled and said, "The main scenes are the three horses along the coast and at sea. What's the point of having them in other unimportant places? The bigger they are, the more energy they consume."

"Does Lord Ross already know how to pass the level?" Celia asked.

Ross glanced at Celia with amusement and shook his head: "No, I don't know."

"Tch, Mr. Ross loves to lie to me." The girl pouted.

Celia felt that Ross would definitely figure out how to pass the level as soon as he came in, but he just didn't say it.

Just like Jonathan's torturous maze instance before, Ross knew how to get to the second floor as soon as he entered, but he didn't tell them until Celia and Elena were exhausted before he gave them guidance, and only guided them to climb the stairs.

Celia didn't care whether Ross said anything or not. On the contrary, she would be unhappy if Ross told her everything after entering the secret realm.

"Ruins are something you get a sense of accomplishment from by conquering them yourself! Even though Mr. Ross likes to lie to me, Celia won't mind. Watch closely, Lord Ross, this time we'll conquer the ruins on our own!"

Ross applauded Celia: "Good awareness, I like it."

"Hehe." Celia's lips curled up.

Beside her, Benovia looked over, controlling her puppet to kill monsters, and asked in a low voice, "Celia, did something good happen? You're smiling so happily?"

"No, I was just thinking about some happy things," Celia explained casually.

"What's so exciting?" Benovia blinked, then suddenly leaned close to Celia's ear: "Is it communicating with the gods?"

Celia felt a chill run down her spine and quickly looked away: "What gods... Of course, it would be nice to communicate with gods, but no, that's not it."

"Oh~"

Benovia's words were meaningful.

Celia blushed instantly and wanted to punch her.
