Chapter 267 Entering the Theater (Part 2)
"Fina! What are you doing!" Menya saw Fina jump into the pile of clay figures, her eyes widened, sweat broke out on her forehead, she didn't know if she was scared or in pain. Menya
hesitated for a moment. She was the one who directed the defense strength and range of the Chinese umbrella. Fina definitely couldn't block all the attacks. Should she stop the attacks of the clay figures? Menya needed to make a decision immediately.
Taking this opportunity, Richard and the others launched an attack. The tentacles pushed back, and Richard bounced over, smashing towards Menya like a cannonball.
"Ah!" Menya quickly held up the umbrella to resist the attack, but how could Richard, who bounced with all his strength, be blocked by the injured Menya? The hand holding the umbrella handle quickly turned into two hands, using the strength of both hands to block Richard, but failed. The moment Richard crashed into the umbrella, Menia knew that she could not hold on. The impact opened Menia's wound, and Menia pushed a few steps and sat on the ground.
Richard walked over, looked at Menia on the ground and said, "Don't resist, Menia, I won't harm your life, as long as you stop these self-destructing clay figures and tell us how to control them."
Menia gritted her teeth and said, "You are delusional! I, Menia, am the only lieutenant and the only confidant of the devil! I will never surrender!"
"Really..."
Richard smiled, "Really?"
Menia got up and pushed towards Richard with all her strength. The wound on her abdomen also spurted blood, but Menia didn't care: "I won't lose! I won't lose to Fina!"
Menia roared while increasing her strength. At this time, she was paying full attention to the front and was hit by Odin who quietly circled behind her. Menia fell down, and the clay figures under her control also lost their fighting power and fell to the ground.
"Hmph, it's such a hassle, why not just solve it directly?"
Richard shrugged. Odin's way of solving the problem was really straightforward.
"Diluka, Freya, I'll leave Menia's treatment to you."
The goddesses' careful treatment made Menia recover her health. When she woke up slowly, she found that she was imprisoned. She looked up at Richard and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Richard squatted down and said, "Nothing, I just want to know something."
Menia sneered, "You can ask whatever you want, but I won't tell you a word!"
Richard shook his finger and said, "No, no, no, you can't think like that. The enemy of the enemy is a partner, and we should be partners now."
"Hey, aren't you and us also enemies?"
"Tsk, that's true, but there is Ymir between us now. If you want to eliminate him, we can't tolerate him. At this stage, aren't we friends? We should be able to help each other now. How about we fight each other after we deal with Ymir. And I won't ask questions about your secrets, so you don't have to feel pressured."
Menia rolled her eyes a few times and finally nodded: "Okay, I agree, but since you said we are friends, you should at least untie the shackles on your friend, right?"
"Oh, okay, untie her. What I want to know is why Ymir and Srued fought."
Menia rubbed her wrist and began to tell the story of Ymir.
"So that's what happened. This was a premeditated coup. I thought it was an unequal distribution of spoils." After hearing this, Richard and Diluka looked at each other, and it was almost the same as they had guessed before. His acting was really good. He had been a kind and good brother for hundreds of years, but only showed his fangs at this moment.
Menia was still leaning there to be cared for by Diluka. She had just recovered from a serious injury and had no strength to stand up. However, she still had a very strong resistance to Fina and accepted the care of others. Richard was also very speechless about the relationship between the two sisters.
Fina didn't bother herself anymore, and walked to Richard and said, "Compared to Ymir, I think the purpose of the Demon King is more worrying."
Richard nodded. From Menia's words and Ymir's actions, it can be judged that Slud had no intention of giving up the throne from the beginning. Ymir also knew this about Slud and prepared to launch a political coup for many years. Then Slud's purpose may be to get the heart of Yugdelsilu and replenish his own energy to shock those conspirators who are ready to act because of his age, or to restore himself to the power of his youth by absorbing energy. If he can be restored to his original state, then there is no need to pass the throne of the demon clan to his young descendants.
However, if it is really as I guessed, then the next battle will be a fight to the death. There is no room for discussion between the two sides. Richard frowned and thought about how to fight next.
Odin came over and asked Richard, "What do you think?"
Richard asked back, "Do you think Yggdril's Heart has the ability to make people return to their peak?"
Odin looked at Richard with contempt, as if he was looking at a fool. Odin just said that she didn't remember any memory of Yggdril's Heart.
Richard shrugged. Fina suddenly said, "If Slud's goal is to absorb energy from Yggdrasil's heart, then the possibility of this continent falling will be much lower, right?"
Richard shook his head, "There is also a possibility that Slud absorbed the energy and then destroyed the continent. After all, this is the territory of the Protoss. Whether it is revenge or restricting us, it is a good thing for him. So we have to hurry over and stop him from getting the key."
Fina nodded, and looked at her sister again. Odin walked over and looked at her arrogantly, "Huh, so stupid, you deceived everyone for Slud."
Menya didn't even raise her eyes, and Odin left in boredom.
Fina asked in a low voice: "Sir Richard, what should we do with my sister? We can't let her stay here like this. What if she is attacked again and again?"
Richard's fingers turned into tentacles and entangled with Menia. After tying, the tentacles automatically broke off from his hands.
"What are you doing! What are you doing!" Menia struggled hard.
"For your safety, we have to take you away, but in order to prevent you from stabbing us in the back, we have to treat you like this. Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Fina, take good care of your sister."
"Yes."
Richard saw an excited smile on Fina's face out of the corner of his eye.
"Richard! You're a liar! Liar!"
"I didn't lie to you. I really won't hurt you." Richard shrugged. What a pair of strange sisters...
