Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1335: Mother of the Devil King

Grease led Alan through most of the castle without hurrying. He would stop to introduce himself to the owner of the Secluded Castle every time he arrived. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to bring Alan to see the owner of the Secluded Castle. Grace wasn't in a hurry, and Alan wasn't in a hurry either. Apart from the old butler's introduction, he would occasionally ask questions. Grace answered everything he knew, and answered everything in detail. After walking down this path, Allen already knew half of the castle.

They finally stopped in front of a large crystal door.

"Mr. Allen, this is the hall of time. Your Excellency wants to see you alone. Please enter by yourself." After saying that, Grace retreated to the side.

Alan nodded and pushed the door open.

As soon as he entered the hall, Alan was truly shocked by the dreamlike scene in the crystal hall. Then, he heard a lazy voice saying, "The universe is vast. There are billions of living beings. There are only three Autarchs among the billions of living beings. But even though Autarchs are powerful, there is one thing that they cannot obtain with their power and status. Do you know what it is?" josei

Ellen laughed and said, "Since this is called the Hall of Time, then the answer that Madam wants can't be more shallow. Even powerful people cannot turn back time. Am I right?"

"Madam? Do I look that old?" Unexpectedly, the voice in the hall was entangled in other issues.

Alan tried to hold his forehead. This woman was indeed the same. She cared more about her age than anything else. God knows how many years this woman called Alice has lived. If she doesn't call her madam, can she still call her young miss?

"Forget it. Come over. You're not tired from talking so far away. I'm still tired."

Only then did Alan enter the hall. In the center of the hall, there was a huge crystal in the round pool. Alan could feel the energy gushing out of the crystal, pouring into the pond, illuminating the pond water into a hazy purple light. Alice was at the other end of the pool, submerged below her chest. Even though the water was glowing with purple light, with Alan's eyesight, he could tell that she was completely naked.

Allowing her long hair to fall down, the woman floating on the water raised her arm and waved her hand, "You should also come down and bubble. It will be of great benefit to you."

Alan felt a little embarrassed. He had thought about meeting Alice, but meeting her barehanded was definitely not in his imagination. In terms of sincerity, Alice's actions could be said to be full of sincerity. Was there anything more "honest" than her naked appearance?

Apparently not.

Alice smiled when she saw Alan standing there like a stone statue. 'We met in the Spirit Kingdom. It can be said that we know each other the most in this world. That kind of understanding is deeper than just the external appearance of the body. Even the will has intersected with each other. Are you still afraid that I will see your body?'

Alan snorted and took off his armor and clothes. He strode into the pool, immersed himself in the water like Alice, and occupied one end of the pool with the woman. After entering the water, he could feel waves of energy entering his body through his pores. Nourishing the body and repairing the hidden wounds, then the many inconspicuous injuries left behind in the past battles would be repaired one by one in this pool of water. However, the water in this pool was more useful than any repairing liquid.

"Alright, you asked me to come. I'm already here. If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it." Of course, Alan didn't think that Alice had invited him to meet her all the way here just to soak in the water that was a few grades better than the restorative solution.

The woman on the other side of the pond revealed a helpless expression and said, "You men are indeed the same. You have no patience at all."

She raised her hand and wiped the water.

The water in the pool between the two of them was originally flowing endlessly, and the ripples on the surface of the water kept on flowing. But when Alice lifted her hand and wiped it, the water in the pool was like a piece of silk covered with wrinkles that had been smoothed out by one hand, not even half of it was worn, and it was as smooth as a mirror. Then, the water in the pond rose, forming a mountain range that was undulating high and low. Under the mountain range, woods rose up again, and then rocks, hills, rivers, and other things appeared one by one.

Above the pond water, a three-dimensional map appeared out of thin air. It was made up of the pond water. Seeing this scene, Alan couldn't help but glance at the woman opposite him. Alice's method was not simple. If she only used Origin Energy to lift the water surface, Alan would be able to do it. Even if she could "carve" a ridge out of the pond water, she would probably be able to barely do it. However, she was absolutely unable to construct such a detailed three-dimensional map like Alice. It could be seen that this woman's control over Origin Energy had reached a shocking level.

"Is this the place Blue Devil brought you to?" Alice asked with a smile.

Alan nodded, confused by the woman's intentions.

Alice pointed at the three-dimensional picture and said, "From the so-called Roddo Pass, as you call it, through the Gate of Silence, through the Plains of Steel Gravel, and finally to this castle of mine." The total length of this route is about one thousand two hundred kilometers. However, there are still many places you haven't visited during this period, such as Shadow Lake in the northeast of the Relic Realm, Death Valley in the southwest, and so on. "But even if we add these places together, they are only half of the entire Realm of the Forgotten."

Alan was surprised. If such a large area was still only half of the Forgotten Realm, then the entire Forgotten Realm would probably be larger than people had guessed. According to the description in the Book of Roddo, it was assumed that the entire remnant area was equivalent to a province of the empire. But now, according to this woman's words, it would be the size of two provinces.

"However, even if it was only a small half of the area, there were still dark crystals that were of a better quality than the green crystals on the edge of the area. The source of the Nether Crystal vein was the Abyss Crystal. Apart from the Shadow Crystals, there were also some plants called Energy Devouring Trees that grew on the Shadow Lake. Their sap was high-quality source sap. As for Death Valley, there were no primary ore veins, let alone plants. The valley was once washed away by a destructive energy, and then a natural crystal appeared. These crystals have golden veins that tangle together to form vertical pupils, so the crystal Blue Devil is called the Eye of Death.

'"The Eye of Death is filled with destructive energy. You only need to use a simple method to activate it to create a powerful energy storm. Even the lowest-grade Eye of Death is worth a thousand green crystals. As for the highest-grade Eye of Death, there is no market." Alice added: 'However, as soon as the Eye of Death leaves Death Valley, there is a constant loss of energy. Even if it is preserved in a special way, it cannot be prevented and can only be delayed. But that is why the price of the crystal is much higher, because the amount of energy flowing out of the Eye of Death is scarce and precious.'

"I thought you didn't interact with the outside world," Allen said in surprise. "It doesn't seem to be the case."

Alice shook her head and said, "My general will occasionally leave the Realm of the Forgotten and go to the outside world. Otherwise, how would I know the changes in the outside world?" To get back to the point, what I said just now is only a portion of the resources of the Forgotten Realm. Behind this castle, there is a larger area and more precious materials. It was no exaggeration to say that the entire Forgotten Realm was a treasure trove. In this treasure vault, there was even an ancient ruin that looked like a labyrinth. I heard that in that remnant, there was a power that could control the entire universe. Of course, I personally think it's a bit exaggerated. "

"Apart from that, as you can see, I rule over all the creatures in the Realm of the Forgotten. It is not as desolate as the outside world imagined. It is just that the life of the Realm of the Forgotten rarely appears in the outside world, causing people to have such an illusion." Alice opened her hands and said, "Of the creatures that I rule, only thirteen have been able to enter this castle. They are my generals. Each general has an army, ranging from nearly a thousand to more than ten thousand. Tong Wu, the strongest of the generals, has a steel division of nearly a hundred thousand men in his hands."

"Together, these armies amount to at least 200,000 men."

Alice lowered her head and looked at Alan, saying word by word, "If you are willing to help me with one thing, then I can give you the resources of the entire Realm, including my generals and their army. If you want, you can take them out of the Realm and do whatever you want!"

Alan's entire body trembled. It turned out that Alice had said so much and had turned around to make a deal with him. However, he had to admit that Alice's mention of the abundant resources of the Realm of the Forgotten, as well as the large army and the generals, had truly moved him. As long as he received this gift from Alice, the wasteland would naturally be able to fight against the other two empires. Especially with Alice, who was comparable to a Paragon, Alan wasn't even afraid of Spenak or Frius coming to him.

But he wasn't stupid. Alice wouldn't give him such a big gift in vain. The price he had to pay was probably more than what he had received. So he wasn't in a hurry to agree. Instead, he asked, "What do you want me to do? No, it should be said, if you can't do it, how can I do it?"

Indeed, with Alice's terrifying strength, both her spiritual power and Origin Energy were slightly higher than Alan's. If she couldn't do it, how could Alan?

'"No, you can do it. What I want you to do is not complicated. It's just to kill someone. But that person is not in the Forgotten Realm. Unfortunately, I can't leave the Forgotten Realm. So I believe that only you can do it." Alice smiled.

"Oh, then who do you want to kill?"

'"The one I want to kill is my dear son. He used to be called Naboo, but now he's called Sbernak!" Alice's smile subsided, and her eyes gushed with rage and resentment.

"What?" Allen cried out in surprise. The person Alice wanted to kill was actually Emperor Sbernak of Demonic Shadow Empire. What shocked him even more was that this woman was actually the Demon King's mother!
