You are all my wings!

She is already exceptionally gifted and extremely suited to this authority; otherwise, it would be unlikely that she would frequently unleash powerful moves capable of easily suppressing legends.

However, if Morites hadn't interfered beforehand, she might indeed have been able to instantly kill Bai Shaqilai.

Because she wasn't alone at the time, her teammates had given her enough time to cast her spells.

It definitely wouldn't be this easy in a one-on-one situation.

On the other hand, it seems that Bai Shaqilai underestimated her own strength, thinking that she was not a threat. Otherwise, given the astrologer's ability to control the future, she would have been dealt with first, not Leon.

Beside him, Lyon gazed at the direction of the battle between Bai Shaqilai and Camille, a thought suddenly occurring to him:

"Bai Shaqilai actually possesses such powerful teleportation magic."

Upon hearing this, the group turned their attention to the scene and discovered that Bai Shaqilai had suddenly disappeared during her battle with Camille.

What just happened?

"Maggie asked."

"Bai Shaqilai must have realized that Moretes couldn't escape, so she simply activated her escape teleportation magic. Judging from the teleportation distance, that magic could travel at least several hundred kilometers. At that distance, if she wanted to hide, even the Great Saintess wouldn't be able to find her easily."

Lyon shook his head. Not bad, at least the pre-arranged Morets was captured.

As Bai Shaqilai activated her long-distance teleportation spell, a series of update messages appeared on Leon's control panel.

[Breita's main quest "The Chosen One" completion rate +12%, current completion rate 81%]

[Breita's hidden personal quest "Astalia's Redemption" completion +10%, current completion 30%]

[Maquilu's main quest "Endless Demon Blood" completion rate +5%, current completion rate 17%]

[Maquilu's personal side quest "The Alchemy of Life" completion rate +10%, current completion rate 40%]

[Mushfisu's main quest "Liberating the Halflings" completion rate +7%, current completion rate 30%]

[Iris's main quest "Dark Fel Energy" completion rate +2%, current completion rate 11%]

Aside from the quest to revive Zek'te, which made no progress, the other quests have made some progress again.

It seems that the one who has the clues to the Soul Treasure is Bai Shaqilai.

Her escape means we can't get any clues and the mission is stalled.

The progress of other tasks is likely related to Moretsus.

For example, the slave industry of halflings suffered losses and its progress increased because some of the legendary leaders of the industry disappeared.

But this only accounts for 30%; it's likely that the remaining 70% of the slave industry originated from other forces.

The resurrection of the gods requires three great treasures. With the capture of Morites, it is clear that the scales of life are already in his possession, so the progress has reached 30%.

As for Machiru's quest progress, the Demon Blood quest is probably related to her state of mind, while the Theory quest is related to data acquisition.

"However, the progress of the demonic aberration is only 2%, which is significantly different from the previous progress. Could it be that some of the demonic aberration is in other people? For example, could the demonic aberration be attached to Bai Shaqilai, or other survivors here?"

Although the cave was destroyed, not all the resisters were killed.

In emergencies, high-level demons may also rely on sixth-tier beings who possess personal poems.

However, sixth-tier poems are generally not strong, so high-level demonic creatures probably won't hide for long.

Chapter 362 No other Maggie could ever make me love her so much.

"Gentlemen, let's check the remaining survivors first, especially those at the sixth rank. Be careful to see if there are any high-level demonic creatures!"

Leon offered a reminder, then said to Maggie:

"There should still be a lot of information on life alchemy. The two of us will go find this one, and the rest of you will check the survivors!"

As he spoke, he handed the still-sleeping Tanya to Zakki, who had almost fully recovered, and asked:

"Can you understand the importance of this dragon girl?"

Kekeqi shook her head in bewilderment.

"In short, protect her and wait for Camille to come back."

Leon pulled Maggie Lu aside and led her to other parts of the mountain.

Although the upper part of the cave was destroyed by Moripe, there are still many branches at the lower part, and there should be many places that have been missed.

The others followed Leon's instructions. Although they were puzzled as to why it was him and Maggie who were to go, they thought that Maggie did indeed know life alchemy and Leon also knew some ancient writing, so they let them go and then began to clean up the battlefield.

Maggie was a little curious, why the rush?

This great battle has only just ended, right?

Her heart leaped with joy.

On the one hand, it was because the nightmare that had plagued her for many years had finally come to an end, and on the other hand, it was naturally because of the promise she made to Leon.

“Let’s look for more information. Logically, there should be quite a lot of information. If we can find more comprehensive information, it will be much easier for you to refer to it later. Moreover, Morets said that the core information is in his mind, but I don’t believe it. Even if he is a legend and has the brainpower to remember all of such a huge amount of information, he still needs many subordinates to conduct experiments, so it is impossible that he would not leave behind corresponding documents and records.”

"But didn't we just find a large batch?"

"Maggie asked curiously."

"No, those were more summative reports. There should be detailed process data in the experimental site as well."

"Process data?"

Maggie frowned slightly.

The process data is a detailed record of the experiment and modification process, which will undoubtedly remind her of the painful memories of modification in her childhood.

Although the destruction of the school of thought resolved part of the inner conflict, it was impossible to resolve it completely.

In fact, she does have some degree of mental pollution, which naturally connects with these painful memories in her subconscious, thereby amplifying the power of her mental pollution.

Don't be fooled by her seemingly fine appearance now; if she unleashes magic beyond a certain amount, mental pollution will be triggered.

Not only does casting magic trigger it, but every few days, she also passively triggers mental pollution when she falls asleep.

Therefore, her longing for Leon is even stronger, and she always insists on being by Leon's side. This is because she feels more at ease when Leon is around, and it is also more difficult for this mental pollution to connect with the painful memories in her subconscious.

However, she wouldn't tell Leon these things on her own initiative, because her pride made her feel that it was no different from begging for favors.

She doesn't want to receive pity or affection.

Leon keenly noticed the unnaturalness in Maggie's reaction to the word, and he gently stroked her head, saying:

“Maquilu, in my hometown, there used to be a doctor who was skilled at treating mental illnesses. He cured countless people suffering from mental illnesses. He summarized his experience and developed a very famous therapy. Do you know what it is?”

Maggie was taken aback, unsure of what Lyon was up to: "What is it?"

"The more you fear something, the less you can avoid it. You must actively stand beside that fear and dance with it."

Lyon laughed:

"This is called exposure therapy. I know that your body was modified by the powerful people here before, and you were implanted with all sorts of strange demonic bloodlines. You lived in pain every day. What kept you alive was that small but tenacious obsession in your heart, right?"

Maggie stopped and looked at Leon.

She was touched, and a complex look flashed in her eyes.

As Leon spoke, the hand that had been stroking Maggie's head slowly moved to her little face, the movement gentle and slow.

The two had now entered the lower level fork in the road and stood facing each other beside a relatively narrow cave bend, quite a distance from the others.

“I’m not advising you to let go of these hatreds. The school’s headquarters was destroyed, but there are probably still many of the people they sent out to collect slaves who are not here. Those who are engaged in the slave industry are probably still around. If you want revenge, there are still many targets for revenge.”

Seeing the slight confusion in Maggie's eyes, Leon knew she was also hesitant about whether she should continue her revenge, so he continued:

"Whether you want revenge or not is up to you, but my advice is that before you seek revenge, you must be able to completely confront these painful childhood memories. This means not numbing or desensitizing yourself, but cultivating your inner self, no longer being afraid, and completely transforming these past events into your spiritual nourishment."

Maggie: "But what am I supposed to do? These things are like nightmares, they've been with me for years, I face them every day, and it feels no different."

"The essence of exposure therapy is not just about 'facing' it. You need to change your mindset and use the mindset you use to mock others to deal with these fears."

"ridicule?"

"That's right. You need to change your mindset to playfulness, mockery, and disdain. The higher your position, the more insignificant these things become. If you were to become a demigod one day, do you think these things would still hurt you?"

Leon begins to manipulate Maggie, and the aura of trust takes effect.

He wanted to bewitch Maggie and completely change her mindset towards these things.

"That seems to make sense, but is it really just a matter of changing one's mindset?"

Maggie looked dazed.

"This can't be rushed. The key is to adjust your mindset. You must disregard it because these fears are, in essence, your fear of life and your fear of death. It's just that they have been deeply imprinted on you through countless painful memories. And I believe that one day you will definitely become a god, even a being greater than the gods. In my heart, you will always possess this unique gift."

Am I unique?

Maggie murmured.

"Of course, you are a demon that even the gods fear, and the only one to survive Andrio's countless demon experiments. Even if your initial talent wasn't particularly strong, you must have been tempered by blood and become stronger than everyone else. Don't you agree?"

"Leon, am I really the only one in your heart?"

"Yes, there is no other macchiato that I can love so much."

Leon stared at Maggielu and said this seriously:

"Before I met you, I was just a clumsy adventurer, with many shortcomings and much confusion. After I met you, I began to understand some crucial truths, and my life began to shine. Machiru, don't you think that you are uniquely mine?"

He wasn't lying; he did indeed rise rapidly after meeting Maggie.

Maggie was stunned.

Is life beginning to shine?

Hehe, isn't this just me?

Yes, I have already begun to shine brightly, so why should I fear the bloody darkness of the past?

I was subconsciously afraid, but in reality, I already had the courage to face it, didn't I?

Because I already have Lyon, my precious lover who knows me well, loves me, and cares for me, allowing me to stop having to be on edge all the time.

For some reason, an unprecedented impulse welled up in her chest, making her feel that she had to get very close to the person in front of her and never be separated again.

So she acted; she suddenly hugged Leon, buried her head in his chest, and her voice was choked with emotion for some reason:

"Damn it! Damn it! I'm the one whose life was illuminated by you! Don't steal my words!"

Out of Lyon's sight, Maggie, with her head bowed, had tears welling up in her eyes.

Large, glistening tears fell, soaking Lyon's clothes.

Chapter 363 Did you just secretly channel your magic into me?

"Maggie Lu".

"what."

"You've soaked my stomach with tears."

"Serves you right, who told you to make me cry."

Maggie Lu burst into laughter through her tears.

“Let’s go, let’s continue to look for information. This time, you must carefully extract the essence and discard the dross, integrate them, and vindicate the true alchemy of life.”

"Since you put it that way, I'll reluctantly agree."

Maggie hugged her small chest and became proud.

Lyon chuckled.

After her favorability rating exceeded 100, Maggie's condition was noticeably different from before.
