"I'll take you to see the demon you're looking for."
Seeing Bai Xi close her eyes, Safa took Bai Xi's hand, put his arm around her waist, and said to her.
Bai Xi could feel the wind blowing against her cheek, the sound of the wind brushing past her ears. It was probably Safa who had taken her flying to the area outside the Demon King's castle.
Safa's voice was above her head. Perhaps because she couldn't see, Baixi felt that her ears were more sensitive. She could now clearly perceive the emotions that she couldn't hear from Safa's mouth on ordinary days.
Does the Demon King truly love me? Or is it just because of my tail?
People tend to overthink when they have nothing to do.
Although Bai Xi doesn't care much about matters of the heart, she inevitably starts to think about them once things quiet down.
The thought had just arisen in her mind when, faintly, she seemed to hear Safa sigh.
Just when she thought Safa was about to say something, Safa didn't say a word and silently carried her flying. In a daze, it seemed as if a feather slipped down in front of her eyes, and Bai Xi subconsciously reached out her hand.
She could clearly feel a feather fall into her palm.
Bai Xi looked down and saw Hei Yu lying there quietly, as if Safa wanted to say something to her but didn't say it.
"This is Shi Zhiyu. If you encounter danger, you can let me come directly to your side."
Safa seemed to sense Baixi's doubts and casually offered an explanation.
"Um... thank you."
Bai Xi pursed her lips and agreed anyway.
[Maybe... it's not really necessary. My strength has recovered a lot now, I should be able to defeat the Demon King, right?]
The thought popped into her head.
These past few days, she has been resting in the Demon King's castle, and her lost divine power is slowly recovering. Now she has recovered most of it, and if it were just Safa, she should be able to fight him alone.
Suddenly, she felt the hand around her waist tighten, and Safa's voice, when he spoke again, seemed to carry a hint of frustration.
"Maybe you don't really need it, but don't lose it. It's not just a way for me to come to you, but also..." a token of love.
The second half of his sentence stuck in his throat, but he ultimately didn't say it.
As a demon king, he had never felt so ashamed.
Offering a feather willingly, only to be rejected by the person he liked, who even doubted the sincerity of his 'love', was truly the most humiliating thing he had ever experienced.
Unfortunately, he hasn't gained Bai Xi's approval yet, so he has to keep all his grievances to himself.
"What?"
Bai Xi didn't understand and asked stupidly.
[That strange Safa always leaves things unsaid, making it hard for people to stay silent.]
As soon as she finished speaking, she sensed that Safa's breathing became rapid, and she could feel that his frustration had turned into anger. For a moment, Bai Xi felt that she had said something wrong, so she stopped talking.
"You'd better treat everyone like that."
Taking a deep breath, Safa squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.
He seemed to be venting his anger, or perhaps he was just being stubborn, which made Bai Xi feel strange.
What did I do to whom? What is he saying?
Bai Xi was completely confused, and the conversation ended there.
In just a brief exchange, the two had already reached the edge of hell. It was as if a broken chasm stretched between heaven and earth, and the sky outside was also a chaotic mess, unlike the deep red sky of hell.
It's as if to move forward, one must accept the possibility of disappearing into the void.
Safa landed with Baixi, and Baixi looked at the distant void and inexplicably thought of the primordial demon, the demon who fell because of Tartarus not long after the continent was born.
He ultimately prevented the abyss from succeeding. Although severely injured, he forced himself to return to hell.
After its fall, two new demons were born: the 'Demonic of the Sky' and the 'Demonic of Time'.
The scenes in the memory space are very similar to this void now, because the primordial demon perished in a similar void.
What are you looking at?
Safa saw Baixi standing on the edge of the cliff in a daze, and after a long time without making a sound, he spoke up to remind her.
"nothing."
Bai Xi snapped out of her daze, turned around, and shook her head at Safa.
Because she had just realized something: the unique nature of Safa.
He certainly doesn't just have succubus blood. Since Philomona's father was the 'Demon of the Void' and Safa's father was the 'Demon of Time', then... isn't he very similar to the power once controlled by the primordial demons?
It possesses both the abilities of 'time' and 'space'.
Bai Xi felt that she had discovered something very important, which was why she fell into deep thought.
However, there's no need to reveal something with only a 50% probability to Safa. If Safa's strength doesn't reach that of the original demon, it would be giving him hope only to give him despair.
After all, his bloodline was severely diluted, and there was also a succubus involved.
“Grenier... the Sky Demon is right here. He will appear soon.”
Safa had arranged to meet them here, but when they arrived, they didn't show up. Safa didn't know where to go to catch them, so he could only say this to Baixi.
"good."
Bai Xi nodded.
It's just a simple wait, nothing difficult.
This gave her a chance to observe this void.
Another strange thing is that the void doesn't seem to be just the void; there seems to be something else inside... The aura she hates comes from Tartarus.
After staring at it for a while, Bai Xi asked Safa again.
"This is the trace of being eroded by the abyss, isn't it?"
She pointed to a strange, dark area in the distance, a pitch-black place that seemed to suck people in; something was definitely wrong there.
"Um."
Safa's expression darkened. That's right, Tartarus's original form resided in Hell. When the Abyss was still asleep, Safis and El used a special method to confine it to the edge of Hell.
Now, no one knows where it went, but after being corrupted by the abyss for so long, even nothingness has been severely affected. If it goes there, it may be corrupted and become a minion of the abyss.
The threat of Tartarus is not only its rift itself, but also the monsters it produces, and even the traces it leaves behind, all of which will affect that area.
It seems that from the very beginning, Hell has been fighting against the Abyss, but at that time he was not yet born, nor was he the Demon King, so he did not know much about it.
"Oh, I see."
Bai Xi nodded as she pondered.
She could roughly guess the location of the Abyss itself. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be in the forest outside the border city. However, it didn't show itself, and even she couldn't deal with it.
