Just as Nofel was lost in his own thoughts and didn't know what to say, Bai Xi suddenly spoke up.
Her tone was playful, as if she were joking.
"Oh, that's enough of the small talk for now. If you're interested, you can find me sometime. I still have some things to do, so I can't keep you company any longer."
The first thing she wanted to do after waking up was to solve the crisis in the Elemental Source Realm; she was also thinking about her friends.
Furthermore, after regaining her body, she finally replenished the last element of earth. Although she didn't know the principle behind it, it was definitely a good thing. She wouldn't have to spend any more time searching and could set off immediately.
This is incredibly lucky.
So the thing to do now is to leave this ruin.
As for the other reason... of course, I don't want what just happened to happen again!
Bai Xi was internally frantic.
She hadn't even realized it herself before she stepped on Greshius, something she never expected to do.
As if possessed by a ghost, looking at his bulging muscles beneath his divine armor, a restless 'desire' overwhelmed her reason and took control of her body.
She managed to restrain herself and didn't reach in to touch him directly, but instead kicked Grescius away.
With so many men standing here, Bai Xi couldn't imagine what terrible things she might do if she stayed any longer.
So after resolving the historical issues with Ulysses, she didn't even think twice before preparing to run away.
And just like that, after saying those words, Bai Xi disappeared into the ruins without giving the other men a chance to stop her.
At that time, because the monsters had been eliminated, the mercenaries and adventurers outside who were worried about the situation of the people inside and whether there really was a god in the ruins finally broke into the ruins after several attempts.
Because the ruins had been cleared by monsters, the interior was unobstructed, and it wouldn't be long before they arrived at the statue plaza.
The eleven men present all had rather special identities, and they didn't want to be seen directly by ordinary people.
After Bai Xi left, she did not stay any longer.
Instead, everyone was evacuated.
Only Safa lingered, staring at the broken end of the statue, before dashing forward.
The power leaked out during Bai Xi's fusion not only affected the divine status, restoring the seven gods to their divine positions, but also had some very special effects on him for some unknown reason.
For example, right now, his bone wings, which had been dormant for a long time and had stopped growing, are actually starting to grow again.
Even his bare, bony wings began to sprout fine down.
In other words, in the words of his dear mother, and in the words of Philomona, his underdeveloped wings were showing signs of maturation.
This also means that he will soon be an adult and become a qualified 'Time Demon', instead of a mere 'Time Demon' who is all show and no substance but unable to control time.
This is a good thing.
Similarly, after he gained a slight control over the power of 'time', he noticed the spatial anomaly at the broken end of the statue.
It's like a piece of cloth that's been torn apart and then forcibly sewn back together.
Although it may not look like anything at first glance, you can see the stitching marks when you look closely.
He thought.
Perhaps he has found Saphis's location.
Even another elder might be here.
Safa rushed straight to the statue and tore a hole in space with his bare hands. These openings are usually quite fragile; the next second...
Safis and Safa locked eyes, along with another being beside him, the Sky Demon—Grenier.
Safa's temple throbbed, and though he didn't speak, his anger was palpable.
Any responsible father would not abandon the entire hell to a baby who is only a few months old. Heaven knows how difficult it is for him to secure the position of the demon king.
Although they may have legitimate bloodlines, their lack of strength makes them a target for many demons.
Moreover, a weak demon king has no way to stop the demons under his command from causing trouble.
If it weren't for the influence his mother left behind in Hell, and her occasional return to help him, he would never have become the Demon King.
If he were truly dead, that would be one thing, but Saphis has remained alive the whole time, never returning to Hell.
"..."
Safis could see his son's anger, but he didn't say anything. He pursed his lips and nudged Grenier beside him, as if he wanted Grenier to explain.
But Grenier was also a little embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything.
The air was eerily quiet. Safa stared at them for only a dozen seconds before disappearing from the spot.
That's right, he went back to hell.
When you're unsure if your father is dead, you'll go to great lengths to find him, but if you discover he's still alive and just irresponsible, Safa will simply refuse to acknowledge him anymore.
"..."
Grenier and Safis left the interdimensional space, silently looking at each other before looking away again after a long while.
"Oh no, he seems angry."
Safis chuckled dryly, feeling a bit desolate in the empty idol square.
"We also have our reasons..."
After a long silence, Grenier finally managed to utter this sentence.
When Safis was almost swallowed by the abyss, it was his ability as the 'Demon of the Sky' that saved him.
He had a 'mission': to hide himself, protect the 'Goddess's' body, and wait for her return.
Only in this way can the abyss be completely eradicated.
This is a secret he has always kept hidden. After the primordial demon died, they were born and later met a woman named Eros... It was a promise he made to her.
Safis's time manipulation abilities were also useful to that woman.
So, the task fell to the two of them.
That's right, Bai Xi's arrival in the magical world—the continent of Coral—was also the work of the 'Sky Demon,' except that it was a woman named Eros who asked him to do so.
Their actions completely violated the laws of the continent of Coral and were not permitted.
But they feigned death and remained hidden in the spatial turbulence, thus escaping the shackles of the continental laws.
This allowed the closed time loop to make it possible to summon Bai Xi to this world and revive her.
Fortunately, their mission is now complete.
Being discovered isn't a big deal...
In any case, Eros will bear all the consequences and backlash.
They had originally planned to use some subtle methods to return, but now that Safa had discovered it, the situation was a bit troublesome.
"Go ask Mona..."
Saphis racked his brains for a long time, and this was the only solution he could come up with.
"Stop thinking about my daughter!"
Grenier glared at him fiercely.
