The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　The "Heavenly" creatures that came here, regardless of their race or strength, voluntarily gave up their disputes and gathered around the well opening, which had been partially dug out, drinking in small sips.

　Judging from their appearance, it was as if they were drinking a precious elixir, thoroughly enjoying themselves. With each sip of the liquid, a halo appeared on their bodies, seemingly having a transformative effect.

　Dark asked "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye," but "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" shook its head and said, "It has no divinity."

　The liquid in that "well" has no divine power, so what attracts these creatures?

　"Could it be something like ley lines?"

　Dak had the idea of ​​collecting some of them and taking them back for investigation.

　Although the creatures surrounding the "well" were all small in size, two of them were extremely dangerous. One of them, a dog-like creature, was so terrifying that just looking at it sent chills down one's spine.

　Its aura is extremely restrained, making its divinity imperceptible.

　But when Dark peeked out of the carriage, it suddenly looked up at him. That one glance sent a chill down Dark's spine, and almost immediately he thought of the giant elephant he had encountered in the Mountain of the Gods!

　Therefore, he did not cause trouble, but wisely chose to take a step back and let things take their course.

　This dog-like creature is very likely the owner of this "well".

　It was only to prevent the aftermath of the battle from destroying that rare "well" that it allowed other creatures to share it.

　After leaving that area, Dark was quickly drawn to the new divine object.

　"Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" sensed a divine aura beneath a small mountain formed by pollutants.

　There happened to be a pipe running beneath the small hill, extending from underground to the outside. Divine energy flowed out from the pipe, tracing its source, and found the small hill formed by the pollutants.

　Even if pollutants of this scale have solidified, they can still make the surrounding air toxic.

　Dak looked at the small mountain of pollutants, lost in thought.

　After entering the "Heavenly Court," he consciously avoided pollutants. However, as the amount of pollutants increased, there was eventually a time when he could no longer avoid them.

　And when that time actually comes, how should we respond?

　"In that case, let's take this opportunity to give it a try!"

　Dark summoned "Shami" and explained his thoughts in detail. Then, "Shami" took its little steps and ran to the small hill of pollutants, looking up slightly at the black, gelatinous pollutants.

　These pollutants are not yet activated, and the toxic gases they emit are negligible to it.

　However, attempting purification might stimulate them and reactivate them. But "Shemi's" goal was precisely to purify the activated pollutants. It puffed out its cheeks, gave itself a pep talk, and activated its ultimate technique—"Natural Recovery"!

　— Wisps of green light emanated from its body and gradually turned into brilliant white light after leaving the body.

　Then, driven by it, the white light shone on the pollutants in front of it.

　The purifying ability of "natural recovery" has actually been verified in previous experiments.

　Professor Kazel cultivated pollutants numbered one through ten.

　It took a full minute to completely purify pollutant number eight.

　As for pollutant number nine, it took more than three minutes to completely purify it. Moreover, the pollutant purified by its "natural recovery" was only the size of a fingernail.

　Faced with so many pollutants, to what extent can "natural recovery" achieve its purification effect?

　"Mimi."

　"Shemi" worked hard to drive the white light, and the pollutants exposed to the white light gradually decomposed into water and air, but only a shallow layer on the surface.

　As expected, those pollutants showed signs of activation under the stimulation of "natural recovery".

　However, they were purified by "Shemi" before they were fully activated.

　Thanks to Shemi's efforts, the white light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire hill of pollutants and purifying and decomposing the surface layer.

　It hurriedly tried to concentrate the white light, shining it on only a small area in front of it like a searchlight.

　Even so, it took a full ten minutes to cleanse the pollutants in front of him and create a small hole that allowed them to pass through.

　When the small hill was cleared, it quickly turned its head and barked at Dak as if to show off its achievement.

　Dark smiled and said, "Well done."

　"Shami" turned around contentedly, wiggled its short legs and crawled into the small hole, then took out a gold coin engraved with the image of a god from the hole.

　Without hesitation, Darke had the "Fossil Pteranodon" absorb all the "Ancient Power" within it.

　Items like these lose their value after being drained of their "ancient power" and the divine aura they acquire.

　He threw away the gold coin, picked up "Shemi," and returned to the carriage. The pile of pollutants that formed a small mountain was probably at a pollution level similar to No. 8, or even lower than No. 9.

　This was somewhat unexpected for Dac.

　However, these are the most numerous pollutants covering the entire city, and their pollution levels are not particularly high, which seems quite normal.

　For pollutants of this level, purification using "natural regeneration" would be quite difficult.

　However, if you use "Seed Flash", it should be able to purify everything in less than a second.

　However, using "Seed Flash" to absorb pollutants will release an excessively strong impact, which may attract the attention of powerful creatures.

　In short, after this round, the "Ancient Power" progress of the "Fossil Pteranodon" increased from 81% to 82%.

　Dak continued onward and eventually found a statue exuding a divine aura in a large mansion.

　The "Fossil Aerial Dragon" absorbed 3% of the "Ancient Power" from the "Statue" in one go, pushing the progress bar to 85%.

　In this way, we are only 15% away from restoring the "fossil pterosaur" to its ancient appearance!

　While searching for the statue, they encountered a black fox with four tails in the house.

　That black fox was extremely powerful, and each of its tails contained a special ability.

　The power within the first tail is the fox's signature charm. This type of mind control is exactly what "Demon King Aldrich" had just absorbed—the "Crowing" ability.

　But its allure is directed at "Demon King Aldridge"! This ability, unleashed in the very first encounter, naturally has absolutely no effect on "Demon King Aldridge"!

　To avoid attracting more creatures, Dark did not allow "Demon King Aldridge" to reveal his true form.

　This caused the battle to last longer and almost allowed the four-tailed black fox to escape.

　But after all the effort, the time for reward finally arrived.

　After "devouring" the four-tailed black fox, "Demon King Aldridge" absorbed the hidden ability in its third tail—"Three Lives"!

　v

　[Three Lives: Three tails, three lives. Losing the third tail will leave the user weak and powerless. If the user has more than one tail, intentionally losing one will instantly restore them to full strength.]

　The "Three Lives" skill, as its name suggests, grants the holder three lives. However, the user can only regain full strength after the first two tails are severed. Once the third tail is severed, the user will be weakened and helpless, left to await their fate.

　Therefore, it can also be seen as "two lives".

　After gaining control of "three lives", "Demon King Aldridge" suddenly sprouted two new tails on his coccyx.

　It curiously swung its new tail, and suddenly started chasing its own tail in circles.

　If Dark hadn't taken it away, it could have wandered around that mansion all day... After gaining "three lives," Dark began to consciously hunt down more aggressive creatures.

　These creatures are everywhere in the city, and if he doesn't deliberately avoid them, they will always come to him on their own—becoming a feast for "Demon King Aldridge".

　As a result, "Demon King Aldridge" acquired a considerable number of miscellaneous special moves.

　It was at this moment that Dark noticed that the number of ultimate moves it devoured using "Devourer" was not limitless.

　Mastering each ultimate technique will have an impact on the individual. Too many ultimate techniques of different attributes will cause chaos in the energy within the body and conflicts in the body's structure.

　Just as "Three Lives" causes it to grow two new tails, "Iron Body" alters the structure of its skin and fur. While "Devour" is a perfect fit for it, it also changes its stomach. "Desperate Roar" and "Crow" both alter its throat and mental strength, creating a significant conflict between these two ultimate techniques.

　As these ultimate moves accumulate, the body may even disintegrate due to the conflicts caused by these moves, resulting in its sudden death!

　After discovering this, Dark began to consciously filter out his special moves.

　Afterwards, he told "Demon King Aldrich" to discard "Crowing" and choose two new special moves to keep.

　Furthermore, he had "Demon King Aldridge" store the two new finishing moves in the two newly added cat tails, minimizing their impact on the body.

　The first of its signature moves is "Swimming in the Filth," which Dark specifically ordered "Demon King Aldridge" to hunt down and kill after discovering a mudfish-like creature swimming in pollutants.

　That mud-like creature can burrow into pollutants and is immune to them—at least to the pollutants covering the outer city area.

　After "Demon King Aldridge" dug it out and devoured it, he was very fortunate to obtain this ultimate move.

　It stores it in its second tail.

　[Swimming in Filth: Navigating filth with ease. Significantly enhances resistance, preventing damage from impurities and providing exceptional immunity to toxins. When activated, it can penetrate and enter filth.]

　The second ultimate move is "Shadow Tiger Claw," an offensive ultimate move that is also extremely well-suited to "Demon King Aldrich."

　v

　[Shadow Tiger Claw: Infuses claws with shadow power, greatly increasing claw speed and attack power by 500. When actively activated, Shadow Tiger Claw gains a partial ethereal quality and the ability to penetrate 20% of the target's defense.]

　This is a finishing move obtained from a tiger-like creature. Although it only increases attack power by 500 points, the boost to attack speed is extremely useful, and when activated, it grants a 60-second armor penetration effect—a feature that is incredibly useful against powerful creatures with high defense.

　When "Demon King Aldridge" was hunting the Shadow Tiger, its defenses were pierced by the Shadow Tiger's "Shadow Tiger Claws".

　The acquisition of these two new special moves makes "Demon King Aldridge" even more at home in this corrupted "Heavenly Court" environment.

　Finally, due to the large number of creatures hunted, the number of "seeds of sin" also increased.

　During this period, the "Ancient Power" progress of the "Fossil Aerodramus" also increased to 89%, only 1% away from 90%.

　Dark temporarily halted the hunt and summoned "Magical Beast: God of Destruction." "Here it comes, here it comes, the tool is here!" "Magical Beast: God of Destruction" complained as it focused on using "Lost Prophecy."

　Dak waited quietly, his mind gradually calming down.

　A moment later, "Magical Beast: God of Destruction" opened its eyes, raised its hand, pointed in a direction, and said, "This direction, twenty kilometers, ten minutes." "Twenty kilometers and in ten minutes?" Dark suddenly opened its eyes and subconsciously asked.

　"Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction" stated confidently, "Twenty kilometers, ten minutes."

　"Let's go!" A hint of joy appeared on Dark's face. He quickly got into the "Moon Goddess's Chariot" and ordered the "Fairy Tale Animal - Little Rabbit" to go at full speed.

　More than three hours have passed since we entered the "Heavenly Court," and we can finally meet up with Angry!

　Although Angry inherited the "Aquarius Holy Armor," he had only recently acquired it and was still immature in many aspects.

　The good news is that there is also a fair amount of healing and purifying magic in the water element. "Angrey" is quite adaptable to the current environment.

　Furthermore, after reuniting with Angry, Dark was finally able to use the "Lost Prophecy" on Ori!

　Although Ollie is more adaptable to the current environment, I'm still worried until I see her.

　Dark felt a sense of urgency.

　The "Lunar Chariot" took off again and sped through the air at a height of about ten meters.

　Dark removed the "Blessing of the Wind Spirit" from his ear, ready to communicate with Angry at any moment.

　Twenty kilometers is not a long distance. Even if we have to slow down to avoid the black fog, we can definitely reach our destination in less than twenty minutes.

　Dark temporarily abandoned his attempt to excavate the divine objects he sensed along the way and moved forward as quickly as possible, finally crossing the distance in just over ten minutes.

　However, the prophetic location in "Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction" wasn't actually accurate. So instead of landing, he left "Luna's Chariot" flying in the air to make it easier to spot.

　A few more minutes passed.

　The twenty-minute mark was fast approaching.

　But the "Blessing of the Wind Spirits" still received no response. Dark glanced at Aurora beside him, who was also trying to contact Angrey with the "Blessing of the Wind Spirits," but she had also received no response.

　Lucia Artemis touched the bracelet on her wrist, appearing slightly silent as well.

　The bracelet was a communication device prepared by the Moon Elf race. There were five gems of different colors on the bracelet.

　According to the prop's design, once someone holding the series of bracelets approaches within a kilometer, the corresponding gem on the bracelet will light up.

　This mechanism shouldn't theoretically fail due to the interference of the black mist, as they had tried it within the mist of the Mountain of the Gods. But until now, the gem on her bracelet has never lit up.

　With only one minute remaining in the twenty-minute time limit, Lucia Artemis, who had been idly rubbing her bracelet, suddenly jumped up!

　Dark and Aurora's attention was immediately drawn to her. Dark frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

　Lucia Artemis looked down at the glowing green gem on her bracelet and quickly said, "Zeni! Zeni has entered the sensing range!"

　"One of the elves of Zion?" Dark asked.

　Lucia Artemis nodded vigorously and said, "Zeni Burns is a grassland spirit!"

　The image of a young elf with long, dark green hair immediately appeared in Dak's mind.

　During the bonfire feast, the grassland spirit was dancing around the bonfire, attracting a lot of attention.

　Aurora then reminded her, "Sister Angrey, she might be with that grassland elf!"
