The moment of decisive battle has arrived.

All the top adventurers from the secret realm continent were mobilized, totaling 87 legendary figures.

Led by the brave Linda and Cold Moon Princess Evelyn, the group gathered in front of the teleportation array and entered the Demon Realm Continent.

This continent is perpetually shrouded in darkness, obscured by black clouds, and filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.

The land is cracked, crops struggle to survive, and water is extremely scarce.

Linda seemed to understand why the demons were so persistent in their attacks on the secret realm continent.

The Demon Realm continent has a harsh living environment, much worse than the former.

But Linda will not sympathize with the demons because of this.

No matter how treacherous the environment, it was not the reason they killed the inhabitants of the secret realm.

Seventy percent of the people died tragically, numbering in the hundreds of billions.

The demon soldiers, generals, and Demon King Linda have no intention of letting any of them go.

Eighty-seven legends flew straight toward the Demon King's castle.

Their momentum was overwhelming, and even the legendary demons could only retreat upon discovering them.

A day later, the legendary figures from both sides met in front of the Demon King's castle.

The two sides were clearly separated.

Linda, holding the sword of the hero, walked at the very front.

Fifty meters away, I stared at the woman opposite me who had black and white wings.

The Demon King's agent, [Angel] Tina.

Tina, leading 95 legendary demons, wore a pure white dress and had a smile on her charming face, seemingly unsurprised by his arrival.

"Captain, on behalf of His Majesty the Demon King, I welcome you."

Tina lifted her skirt with both hands and performed a noble gesture.

Linda remained unmoved and said coldly, "I'm very disappointed in you."

“But everything I’ve done is for you,” Tina said. “Before the final battle, could you listen to what I have to say? Perhaps it can change your mind.”

"Linda, don't listen to his nonsense." Evelyn frowned. "This kind of hopeless woman should just be killed."

“We’re already here, a little longer won’t make a difference.” Linda wondered why Tina was doing this.

Of all the team members, only Tina has a 100% favorability rating.

In theory, anyone could harm him, except Tina.

"You only have three minutes."

"One minute is enough."

Tina said with a smile, "After conquering the capital, I haven't shown myself in the secret realm continent because I'm building our own 'Eden'."

"Eden?"

"Yes, it's also our love nest, hehehehe."

Amid Tina's chilling laughter, a giant screen of light appeared in the sky.

The view inside is from a high altitude, showing a city surrounded by magnificent walls.

The clock tower, the World Tree, the Secret Realm Plaza, the Adventurers' Guild—all the common facilities are available.

The street was lined with shops selling all kinds of goods, and people were coming and going, with laughter constantly filling the air.

The screen displays the perspective of a bird, which flies down and lands on the roof of a manor.

In the courtyard, a blue-haired girl was watering flowers, her smile sweet.

On the swing next to them sat a cat-woman girl and a tiger-woman girl.

The former was asleep, her cat ears perched on her head, a book clutched in her arms. The tiger-woman stared at her tail, drooling.

Through the window of the mansion, a silver-haired maid can be seen mopping the floor.

Sweat dampened her cheeks, and a stray strand of silver hair clung to the corner of her mouth.

She put her hands on her hips and gently wiped herself with the back of her hand.

The bird took flight again and came to the street.

Some citizens are buying magical equipment and haggling with the shopkeeper.

Couples enter a jewelry store to purchase rings for their vows.

Inside the cake shop, a flat-chested, red-haired girl was happily sipping a strawberry cake, her cheeks tucked in her hands.

She told the pink-haired girl next to her that the strawberry cake in the capital was delicious.

Across the table sat a blonde mage girl, holding a notebook and a quill pen, designing new clothes.

"My clothing store is opening tomorrow, so don't forget to come and support me."

"I know, you should be happy to have me as your model."

"Aiko, do I want to be one too?"

"You and Leah should both come."

"Ugh, I don't want to go."

Linda stared at the screen in shock.

Everyone present—Lia, Bai Luo, Evelyn—was incredulous.

The city shown on the screen is the capital city ten years ago, untouched by the war!

For a moment, everyone felt a sense of disorientation, as if time had reversed.

A city that exists in the past. But the people inside seem to live in a peaceful future after the war.

The manor belongs to the Phoenix Flower Adventure Team, where the members live a peaceful and happy life. The Snow Goose Trio is enjoying a strawberry cake when, among the passersby on the street, Abner sees the dead Gale.

At that moment, Ebernar was so moved that he could barely hold his sword.

Gale is flirting with a blonde elf woman, his eyes glued to her buttocks.

What's going on?

The present, the past, and the future are all blurred.

"Don't let that woman fool you, everyone!"

A brown-haired girl wearing glasses, known as the Great Inventor Mimi, jumped out and pointed at Tina, saying:

“Everything inside is fake. Every citizen is a magical puppet powered by a magic core. Look closely, they all have a tiny wind-up key around their necks.”

Magical puppet?

Everyone was startled, rubbed their eyes, and looked more closely.

The trio of Xueyan in the cake shop actually have a wind-up clockwork around their necks.

dummy?

But this is too realistic; the personality, tone of voice, and hobbies are all perfectly replicated.
