She grew up in a church since she was a child.

The two people who raised them, though somewhat unqualified, were ultimately a priest and a nun in the church, respectively.

Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem so bad to live in a church in the future?

Besides, becoming a teacher in a school also seems like a good option...

"Even so..."

As she was frowning and thinking, Su Mu reached out his hand to her.

"I will need your help in the future."

"Huh?"

Ling Ai opened her mouth slightly and made a slightly surprised sound.

"I'm quite clear about my own limitations. The chances of reaching my desired level directly through this alchemy array are slim," Su Mu said with a light shrug, his tone frank. "Therefore, after this one, there will likely be further attempts..."

Under the calm gaze of the girl opposite him, Su Mu's smile remained unmoved.

Then, add the final supplement.

"In short, I still need you now."

She merely pursed her lips, completely unmoved.

Su Mu, however, didn't care at all and continued to hold her hand.

Then, he gently patted the back of her fair hand, his smile remaining unchanged.

"So, please."

"To reiterate, I need you."

Himuro Rei slightly raised her face, her expression indifferent, her lips slightly pursed, her purple eyes filled with coldness.

His eyes, filled with undisguised displeasure, met Su Mu's gaze fixedly.

In the end, they had no choice but to give up.

"I see."

She nodded gently.

"However, can I give you a punch?"

"Don't worry, I'll hit you hard. Right in the face, really hard."

Chapter 163 Ajeka's Horror! A Shocking Conspiracy!

Yeah, my feelings are pretty complicated.

As Su Mu left through the gate, he touched his cheek and couldn't help but chuckle.

but......

His behavior of wanting to use people until they die is a prime example.

Let alone this slightly annoyed complaint.

It is possible that the other party will be absolutely resistant to you.

As a pillar and even the core, she refused to cooperate.

When things got to that point, even Su Mu himself felt a bit of a headache, and it would take a lot of extra effort to deal with it.

However, this did not happen.

If there's a reason, it's that... Himuro Reia didn't really have much of a sense of what she should be doing.

Even the fact that "I am alive right now" doesn't actually evoke much feeling.

It is a character with no personality traits, yet also has a slightly eccentric personality.

She longed for her body to be as insensitive as wood or stone.

Beneath this exterior lies... emptiness.

Even if you told her that she would die at 29 in the next moment, she might not have any real emotional fluctuations and would be so without complaint.

Now that she's consistently willing to cooperate with Su Mu's actions...

So, Su Mu naturally had to reciprocate.

Himuro Reia can help Su Mu complete the "Alchemy Array" and help him move forward on the path of pursuing power.

Since that's the case, Su Mu naturally has to take responsibility—to guide these girls who have lost their way in life.

Ah, I should say... pointing out directions.

Is acting according to one's own wishes truly the right path?

Su Mu was somewhat aware of this.

But in any case, it's enough if she can stop being like this, seemingly able to die at any moment without any resentment, completely indifferent to her own life.

"Then, let's go and make preparations with Orpheus regarding the Great Red."

Su Mu's eyes shifted slightly, her smile gentle.

"After all, he's considered a guardian of this world. That guy certainly wouldn't want to miss anything related to this world, right?"

Compared to Su Mu's relaxed mood, the atmosphere in the entire underworld was unusually heavy.

This kind of atmosphere has never appeared since the great battle in ancient times when the gods and the demon king fell.

At this point, the situation in the entire underworld had indeed developed to this extent.

“Sazex, we can’t go on like this.”

The demon lord known as "Asmodeus," Falbiwyn, spoke with a serious expression.

As a demon king, his status in the underworld was not as lofty as that of the strongest demon king and spiritual leader, Sazex, or Beelzebub, the creator of demon pieces.

However, he was the most outstanding strategist in the entire underworld.

Without his overall command, the losses in the Underworld would have increased by at least 30%.

In other words... it had long been unable to continue.

Originally, he was only responsible for the coordination of the war; the decision of whether to fight or make peace was left to the two demon lords, Sazex and Beelzebub.

But now, this person in charge of the war has suddenly said such a thing...

This further demonstrates the severity of the current situation.

"We've basically exhausted our fighting resources. If this continues, we demons will probably disappear into the annals of history."

"The Demon King Asmodeus solemnly declared."

Upon hearing these words, Sazex and Beelzebub, who had been frowning and seemingly deep in thought, immediately looked up.

And, unusually, they all immediately showed expressions of anxiety and helplessness.

Sazex smiled wryly and rubbed his face.

"Although I knew the situation was quite serious, it was still hard to imagine, or rather, I was unwilling to accept, that it had really come to this."

In contrast, Ajax appeared more composed.

After all, researchers have a natural advantage in terms of emotions and composure.

“We knew this would happen, but even if we wanted to stop the fighting, the decision was not in our hands.”

Ajeka said.

At this moment, his voice was slightly hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot.

To achieve a ceasefire, we must first ask the underworld army, which is completely consumed by hatred, whether they agree, and we must also ask the other two races whether they agree.

even......

We should ask the other mythological forces, who are eager to see the three races in biblical mythology perish, whether they agree.

Therefore, even if Asmodeus told them at this point that the Underworld could no longer sustain the war, it would be of no use.

not to mention......

Ajeka gently raised his chin, gesturing towards the empty seats in the room.

The room where the four demon kings of the underworld held their meetings naturally had four seats.

At that moment, one seat was empty.

Since leaving the Underworld to investigate the border region bordering the Fallen Angels, the Demon Lord Seraph, who bears the name Leviathan, has completely disappeared without a trace.

Ajeka smiled wearily, then spoke slowly in a teasing tone.

"To be honest, we just realized that, in terms of popularity alone, the more approachable Sid family and the Demon King Seraph seem to be stronger than any of us."

The room fell silent.

Although there has been no romantic relationship between us, the bond between us as companions and family members is as strong as that between family members.

Or rather, the four people who share a common goal and work together are family.

What Ajeka just said, 590, seems to mean that if something happens to Seraph, the people of the underworld will not tolerate it.

In reality, it means that none of the three people present could truly let go of this matter.

Putting ourselves in their shoes, we would probably agree that this applies to both fallen angels and celestial beings.

When a long-time companion leaves, it's simply impossible to mend the relationship, no matter how hard you try.

Despite Asmodeus's earlier warning that the Underworld could no longer sustain the war, if he were to actually tell him to stop the war...

He was probably the first to express his opposition.

As a strategist of the underworld, he was the one who felt the loss and hatred of war most deeply.

"How has the Sidi family handled the Seraphim matter?"

As if struck by a thought, Sazex turned his gaze toward Asmodeus.

Upon hearing this, Asmodeus lowered his head, his eyes flickering slightly.

"On the surface, there doesn't seem to be much unusual about the Sidi family..."
