In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"Did you find the answer you were looking for?"

Maria blinked and looked at the other person.

But the priest was stunned.

He really didn't expect that Maria's first question would be this.

This made him laugh uncontrollably.

"I thought you would ask me whether the task you assigned me was completed."

When Maria saved the other person, it was not entirely because of the other person's belief. More importantly, she needed the other person to spend time looking for information about Godan for her.

only……

This news doesn't seem to be very important to Maria now.

"I won't give away my blood simply because I recognize someone... I don't want a puppet either."

Maria spoke.

The priest also bowed respectfully.

Over a long period of time, he also truly realized how precious the thing Maria had given him was.

During this long period of time, he also encountered many fatal attacks.

Many attacks even knocked off half of his body!

But even so, he is still alive...

Like an immortal monster...

Continue to live.

That's why he knew long ago that Maria would definitely not die in that war.

After all, he, who only obtained a little blood, has such fighting power. He can't imagine how powerful Maria, who really holds this blood, is!

“Regarding your question…I’m sorry, I haven’t found it yet.”

The priest lowered his head and spoke calmly.

"I long for peace, but peace is ultimately impossible in today's world...Everyone will develop evil towards themselves, and everyone will indulge their own evil. I have no idea what choices so many lives in this world will make."

"You gave up?"

"No... I just haven't found the answer yet."

The priest looked up at Maria and said, "The answer must exist somewhere in this world."

Just like the man Maria saw at the beginning, he has not changed his belief to this day.

This made Maria realize that she was not wrong about the person.

After a moment of silence, Maria spoke.

"So... is there something you want to talk to me about this time?"

"I'm here to answer your questions."

Mentioning the serious matter, the priest regained some spirit. He raised his head, looked at the woman in front of him, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly and firmly.

"Regarding the Sky Curtain Beast... its power has cycles!"

Chapter 337: On time!

Maria is a latecomer to those in power.

She was not born a superior, so naturally she didn't know how troublesome and tedious the steps would be for a real superior to interfere with reality.

In fact, most people in power may not have the ability to influence reality.

It's not just one aspect, more importantly, it is actually impossible for it to remain locked on to a world when its brain is in chaos.

It often requires fanatics to use various rituals to summon and attract them.

But even if they were attracted, it would only open a temporary window in a sturdy small room... Those superiors could only scatter their own things in it during the instant repair time of this window.

If you want to influence a place for a long time, it not only requires the efforts of believers, but the superiors themselves also need to pay a huge price.

This also means that although these superiors exist, it is actually difficult for them to take the initiative to do anything.

There are even fewer people like Maria who descend into a world in their true form.

It's almost an impossible task.

And Godan obviously belongs to the former... Although he was attracted to the periphery of this world, he could only watch from the outside and could not truly descend into this world.

But even so, the damage he could cause was already horrific enough.

In a sense, the two moons in the sky are the limit of what He can do now.

It opened a small hole for itself, through which it peeked at the world.

But obviously, the world's self-protection mechanism will not allow this hole to exist forever.

And Godan had no way to force his way in, which led to an endless tug of war between the two sides.

This also led to a result...

The power of the behemoth is not infinite.

When they fight against the world itself, they will also have a period of fatigue.

But for humans, this waiting time is too long, and the moment of weakness is only a ten-millionth of a breath.

It is almost impossible to seize this opportunity.

but……

Maria has a chance!

"The power of the Sky Beast is cyclical. According to ancient research, humans long ago observed the moment the beast lost control of the world!"

The priest stood in front of Maria, his tone calm.

But what he said made Maria realize the importance of information.

What the other party said... is very valuable.

"When?"

Maria continued to ask questions.

But the priest just shook his head helplessly.

"Those documents have been lost for a very long time. The writing is very different from what we have now. Even though I have spent a hundred years searching and deciphering them, I only know a few things."

The priest said this, but he still honestly took out a replica scroll from his windbreaker beside him.

"I have restored its original appearance as closely as possible, ensuring that even the slightest curves haven't changed much. But regarding the specific content, I'm truly sorry, ma'am, I haven't been able to decipher it..."

“…You’ve done well enough.”

Maria took the scroll and examined it carefully.

Just as the priest said, the font of this scroll is a completely new language that is completely different from this world.

If it is not that the race that created this writing has long disappeared from this world, it can only mean that this thing is indeed too ancient.

To the extent that the characters today have evolved to the point where they no longer have any trace of their former selves.

Even Maria couldn't understand it directly without knowing it.

but……

Maybe a puppet could do that.

"it is ready."

After Maria accepted it, she also expressed her approval of the priest.

The priest also let out a breath.

After a hundred years of investigation, he only found out such a thing, and he felt a little embarrassed about it.

But now it seems...it still has some effect.

……

On the other side...in the meeting room of the Kazdel Royal Court.

The devil with a black crown on his head sat quietly on the black high chair that belonged to him alone.

Time has washed away the youthfulness on her face, and what remains is a look of determination.

Behind her stood her brother, Tracy, who was now nominally her bodyguard but actually belonged to the regent.

On the left and right sit the loyal Banshee Lord and the Scavenger King respectively.

A little further away, there was the Blood Demon Lord named Dukare and an empty chair opposite him.

These are specially arranged seats.

However, other royal courts do not have too many rules for this. People sit according to the first-come, first-served basis.

At this moment, their expressions were different.

After seeing that everyone was present, Theresa turned her head slightly and looked at the Lich King's Court beside her.

Although most of the liches have now gone to Leithania, the orthodox royal court still remains in Kazdel.

It is also because of this relationship that they still have the opportunity to get news from the outside world.

"How is the situation now?"

Theresa asked, her target directly targeting the current movements in Gaul and Letania.

"The messenger has returned. According to the information we've gathered, there's been a commotion between Letania and Gaul, and both sides are on the brink of war..."

The Lord of the Lich King's Court reported with a flicker in his eyes.

"At this point, it seems that this war is not the second coalition attack against Kazdel."

"Is the news reliable?"

Theresa spoke softly.

Even though Kazdel has experienced a century of rest, it can only be said that it has just gotten back on track due to various reasons.

She finally integrated most of the royal court and got everyone to temporarily put aside their prejudices and start working together to build the country.

Even with the most radical design, it would take at least 20 to 30 years to transform Kazdel from a barbaric land into a civilized one... If they really wanted to catch up to the forefront of the world, it would take even more time.

At this moment, she really didn't want war to break out again.

"...I'm not 100% sure, Your Highness."

The lich looked at Theresa's appearance and showed an expression of self-blame.

Even after the establishment of the Tower of Babel, Kazdel has had some connections with some parts of some countries, but it still cannot be said that formal diplomatic relations have been established.

This makes it difficult for them to obtain accurate information on the movements of other countries.

He could only say that the information he received was 90% credible at best.

As for the remaining bit...

There are still too many uncertainties.

Theresa also understood the other party's difficulties. After a few moments of silence, she waved her hand slightly and did not continue to embarrass the other party. Instead, she turned to look at other people.

"What do you all think about this matter? Does Kazdel need to respond to this?"

Although the Demon King represents the highest authority in Sakaz, Theresa obviously does not want this place to become her sole authority.

She needs to listen to more people.

Soon, Tracy on the side gave the answer.

"We shouldn't make any moves... If this is really just a war between Lethania and Gaul, then our personal actions will likely become an excuse for them to divert the conflict, and the danger of the coalition will be even greater."

Tracy obviously knew the outside world's reputation for the Sarkaz.
