The three of them were inseparable.
They are one.
.....
As Ye Ruo and Erica were led by Liliana, they also came to see the Hera Pillar.
Those were black stone pillars that looked like obsidian.
Standing two meters tall, it doesn't look particularly ornate or exquisite, but you can still feel its sacredness.
This means that this is no ordinary object.
And what's really strange is that it's as if this thing has taken root here, as if it grew out of the ground.
It is still constantly absorbing the energy and magical power of the earth and water.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a divine artifact; it is indeed exceptional.
Moreover, the absorption rate is very fast, and the amount is astonishing.
It was as if it had become one with the earth.
The power of the earth is transformed into magical energy and stored within the stone pillar.
Upon arriving here, Lili Yana looked at Ye Ruo with seriousness and nervousness.
"Ye Ruoqing, what do you plan to do with the Hera Pillar? If it's just to take a look, then it's fine."
"Now, the stone pillar itself has undergone a mutation, and if it is not handled properly, it may trigger some terrible changes."
"Currently, none of the witches here have any good solutions. They can only use the power of the barrier to seal off this area and barely maintain a balance."
"But if other forces are added, it's hard to predict what will happen."
Ye Ruo glanced at the divine artifact, then surveyed the earth's veins.
Interesting sounds.
"Of course I'll help you resolve this issue. I'm completely different from other demon kings."
"Eh?"
The girl was astonished.
"This Hera Pillar has been activated and will continue to absorb and plunder the essence of the earth and water here. This is the standard ability of the Earth Mother Goddess."
"After all, the essence of the earth belongs to those earth queens, so they can control it easily."
"Hera is also the Earth Mother Goddess."
"Yes, it is."
Lili Yana confirmed this statement.
"With our witches' abilities, there's no way to stop this. Are you implying you can?"
The other two witches, Diana Millid and Karen, asked the same question in surprise.
Previously, the maid Karen was teasing her master, Liliana, saying that this new god-slayer might try to harm her.
When they actually met, she was so obedient that she didn't dare to say a word.
He remained by their side the whole time.
This left Lili Yana speechless; what a despicable maid.
Go ahead and keep being arrogant.
Seeing this king makes me shrink back.
You're too scared to laugh at yourself now, aren't you?
"You could say that."
"It's better to guide than to block. Rather than waiting until it's completely out of control, it's better to wait until this stone pillar absorbs the safe limit and releases the earth's essence all at once."
"Then dispose of this stone pillar and let the earth's essence return to this land."
Everyone listened quietly to the king's words.
He meant that if this Hera Pillar were to reach its final stage, it might very well summon the disobedient god Hera.
After all, this is a divine artifact that has a deep connection with the goddess Hera, and it also represents the seal of the Hera Temple.
At the cost of the essence of this land, the goddess was brought back to life.
However, in this case, the essence of this place will be taken away by the Earth Mother Goddess. Even if the Earth Mother Goddess is defeated, this land may very well become barren and ruined.
Complete decay and despair.
The cost of the sacrifice will be very high.
Such a scene meant nothing to the Demon King's god-slayer.
Ye Ruo didn't care.
The other god-slayers wouldn't care either.
But for these witches, it was certainly a tragedy they didn't want to see.
And now...
The Hera Pillars were connected to the earth, and they couldn't stop them, after all, it was the power of a divine artifact.
What if we act rashly and detonate the magical energy here?
Then it's very possible that they'll blow everyone here up into the sky and send them to meet their long-dead grandmothers or something.
So the witch here is really conflicted.
But unexpectedly, Ye Ruo, the god-slayer, arrived that very day.
His meaning is easy to understand: when the stone pillar absorbs enough energy to be safely separated, it can release the earth's essence.
No need to wait until the last minute.
They were released halfway through.
This way, no disobedient Earth Mother Goddess will appear.
Of course, this disobedient god is just a conjecture and may not actually appear.
On the contrary, it is certain that the earth's veins here will be completely depleted.
But it's impossible to make it display that image under any circumstances.
"So I'm here, you should be thanking me."
"Instead of being wary."
Hearing Ye Ruo summarize it this way, Lili Yana and the others felt quite ashamed and embarrassed, and were very embarrassed.
It's really embarrassing to have your inner thoughts pointed out to your face.
They were indeed very uneasy about Ye Ruo's arrival.
The Demon King who slays gods—just that title alone...
It creates a great sense of pressure.
Erica almost burst out laughing. "Hmm, those three idiots, Lili and the others, were easily fooled by Ye Ruo..."
A king who manipulates people's hearts.
All I can say is, she truly lives up to her reputation as Ye Ruo.
This guy is still the same as always.
Did you hear that? Lili and the others should thank Ye Ruo.
It's so funny it makes you want to burst out laughing.
However, Erika is professionally trained and will not easily show her funny side, no matter how funny it is.
Good manners are very important.
Lili Yana also thought about it for a moment, her expression puzzled.
"Ye Ruoqing, it's really unbelievable that you've gone to so much trouble to help us."
"We have absolutely no relationship."
Why go to such lengths?
Ye Ruo merely glanced at the stone pillar.
"Even if the essence is released midway, it will probably gain life and condense into a life form like a dragon."
"Earth and water are inherently related to the dragon's divine nature."
"As snakes evolved, they became dragons. This could potentially lead to the idea that dragons and snakes are mortal enemies of the Earth Mother Goddess."
"If you have any, leave it to me to handle."
Lili Yana's eyes widened.
"Is he the kind of hero who is the embodiment of an iron sword, a hero who fights against the Earth Mother Goddess?"
"Indeed, for the Dragon God, they are absolute mortal enemies, warriors who slay dragons."
It dawned on her.
That too is a god who does not obey.
As a demon king who slew the gods, it's perfectly normal for him to seek out disobedient gods.
Therefore, this god-slayer also had his own goals.
Logically speaking, this is in line with the king's style.
It's impossible to put in effort for nothing without expecting anything in return.
If that's really the case, even they would be alarmed and wonder if there's some kind of conspiracy involved.
So as the mystery was solved, a weight was lifted from my heart.
Erika looked at everyone with a smile, but with a serious expression.
