The next day.
Rayne washed his face and changed his clothes before taking a shower with Alice.
Although they did not sleep much at night, Alice and Rayne were still in good condition.
Be it this young and energetic female demigod or Rayne who was blessed by the evil gods, their stamina was far from something that could be measured by the standards of mortals.
"Let's get down to business first."
Yesterday, Alice was so enthusiastic that Rayne did not even have time to greet the Porcelain Moon Queen.
After all, it was Rayne's final modification that caused the Porcelain Moon Queen to hand over her soul for binding.
She could not be compared to Breaking Moon, who theoretically came knocking on his door.
If he did not give the Porcelain Moon Queen a satisfactory explanation, she would probably not work for Alice properly in the future.
The soul imprints of the late queens were an important component of the Moonlight Queen's combat strength. Only by ensuring their combat enthusiasm could Alice's combat strength be maximized.
Therefore, Rayne, who was dedicated to raising Alice as the strongest Moonlight Queen, naturally could not forget to help Alice deal with her relationship with the late queens.
Now that the slightly impolite and long opening act was finally over...
Rayne could finally get down to business.
Rayne observed the space between Alice's eyebrows. The silver-white imprint that had been flickering resplendently for the entire night had finally dimmed. "Your Majesty Porcelain Moon, are you still around?"
The Porcelain Moon Queen was naturally still around.
However, she no longer had the same anticipation, longing and hope as yesterday.
Right now, the Porcelain Moon Queen's heart was already filled with grief and disappointment.
"Alice, do you know what you're doing? That person… is the next Emperor of Haines. H-How can you be so shameless in front of him?!"
At that moment, the Porcelain Moon Queen was on the verge of breaking down. "This is the worst memory of my life… I actually thought that Leta was really saved… How stupid."
Alice's private life was messy.
Alice had already informed the Porcelain Moon Queen about this in advance.
However!
Who would have thought that this pure and pleasant-looking 19-year-old girl would go so out of hand… and get together with the prince of an enemy country?!
Right in her own palace!
Any Leta elf would be shocked and furious about something like that, right?!
In any case, the Porcelain Moon Queen could not accept such an absurd relationship!
There was no hope for this generation's Moonlight Queen!
However, at that moment, the refreshed Breaking Moon Queen sneered and exposed the Porcelain Moon Queen's behavior of pretending to be chaste after she got dressed.
"Oh? Is that so? Are you really thaaaaaat disappointed? That's not how you sounded when you were spanked last night!"
The Porcelain Moon Queen blushed. "I-I…!!!"
Rayne could not hear the conversation between the Porcelain Moon Queen and the Breaking Moon Queen.
Therefore, as the messenger, Alice smiled at Rayne. "Her Majesty Porcelain Moon is still here~"
"Is that so? Alright then… Is she still in a stable mood?"
Porcelain Moon Queen: "Stable? Do you think I'll be stable?! Do you know what you just did to a Moonlight Queen of Leta? No, three Moonlight Queens of Leta?! Despicable! Shameless! There's no way I'm stable, not in the s-slightes—"
Alice smiled. "She said she wants more."
The Porcelain Moon Queen: "???"
"Alright, we'll discuss that later."
Rayne nodded gently. After a moment of silence, he continued, "Let's get down to business then—Alice, no, behave and keep your hands to yourself—Your Majesty Porcelain Moon, I know that you were attracted by that modified time machine. I'm sure you are dying to know whether or not there's a chance of your machine being perfected."
"Regarding that, there's something I have to be clear to you about."
Rayne sighed.
"The idea of a time machine is unrealistic. Your Majesty Porcelain Moon, you should also know that there are too many technical difficulties in transmigration. Just the complicated paradoxes created are already irreconcilable. Unless it's a god who specializes in controlling time, there's no hope for us mortals to carry out a controlled time travel. However…"
Rayne continued, "Although a time machine is impractical, that doesn't mean that the elves can't defeat the quasigods."
Alice was stunned when she heard that and asked curiously, "Your Highness Rayne, there's actually a way to destroy the quasigods?"
Rayne smiled. "Of course. Actually, this is also one of the promises I made to the Great Teacher. However, you guys might be wrong about one thing. To eliminate the threat of the quasigods, our enemy is not Order."
"Although Order is indeed the mastermind behind everything, if we have the strength to fight against Order, the threat of the quasigods won't be a problem at all, right?"
If Leta could even destroy the strongest god in the current era…
What would mere quasigods amount to?
Rayne said, "Therefore, our target should be another god, a god of your elves."
Alice suddenly thought of an answer and asked in disbelief, "Are you trying to refer to… Compassion, Your Highness?"
Rayne nodded with a smile. "That's right."
If they wanted to end the calamity of the quasigods, the goal of the elves should be the current Main God of Leta, the source of the power of the Moonlight Queens—the Mithril Moon, Goddess Compassion.
However, Alice could not understand this plan.
"However… Your Highness, we can't hurt the goddess just because we want to achieve victory, right?"
Although Alice did not have much faith in Compassion…
However, she also knew that Compassion had already become the mental support of most of the elves in Leta.
How could this goddess be challenged casually?
However, Rayne asked, "What if it was that goddess who harmed all the elven gods and caused the birth of quasigods?"
Alice's gaze trembled.
Even the two Moonlight Queens in her body were shocked.
They had never heard of such a saying before!
Thereafter, Rayne told them the truth. "Perhaps your concept was confused for some reason. However, in reality, the only people in the entire mortal world who can name themselves after emotions are the evil gods of the Nether Realm."
Rayne said, "Right now, the essence of Compassion is already equivalent to the evil gods of the Nether Realm. As a god of the Nether Realm, her existence is to serve her authority. Like all evil gods, she thirsts for the most extreme emotions—she's as crazy as the other evil gods."
"Justice craves battle and the Evil Dragon craves lust. In that case… What does Compassion crave?
What she craved for was… compassion?
Was it benevolence?
Shouldn't that be a very wonderful quality?
Alice did not understand.
It was precisely because this goddess possessed the virtue of benevolence and pity that she protected the elves selflessly. In the mortal world where quasigods were abundant, she bestowed Leta the Moonlight Queens, giving the elves the power to fight against calamities.
However…
Alice was still too young and naive.
Within her body, the moods of the two Moonlight Queens had already turned grim.
Any emotion that went to the extreme would only bring pain and despair.
Rayne said, "Compassion has the virtue of sympathy and pity. What she desires is to protect all weak living beings. Be it their stances or the reason for it, she will lend a helping hand to all weak existences and suppress the strong with all her might."
The moment that was said, the two Moonlight Queens were stunned, as though they were struck by lightning.
If…
If that conjecture was true…
In that case, all the doubts in the hearts of the two late queens over the years were explained at this moment.
The Mithril Moon represented the most extreme and crazy emotion of compassion.
She would help the weak unconditionally and suppress the strong unconditionally as well.
It had nothing to do with race or right or wrong.
Wasn't that completely... coincidental with the reason why Order punished the elven gods back then?!
…
…
Morning.
After walking out of the supreme sacred ground of the Mithril Sanctum, the regent used magic to hide his tracks and left the Sanctum in a low profile manner.
When he returned home, he solemnly took out a fragment of the Mithril statue from his pocket.
It was indeed a corner of the statue of Goddess Compassion, a fragment of her dress.
Even though it was just a fragment, the piece of the statue was moving and looked extremely beautiful.
However… The fracture of that fragment was truly strange.
The flowing mithril… squirmed like a living being and flesh buds made of mithril even appeared, trying to mend the wound.
It was as though the statue of the goddess was alive.
Hiss…
The regent's scalp went numb and he gasped.
The regent did not dare to think too much about such things…
In short, with this thing, he could now carry out the sacrificial ritual and summon Sebastian.
The regent was extremely emotional, be it out of joy, worry... or even fear.
With the support of his family and after careful consideration, he finally decided to awaken his son and reverse the situation.
Similarly, today, as though it was in response to the regent's determination...
He received a piece of good news.
Some time ago, through a series of diplomatic mediation, Grand Prince Edgeworth finally decided to hand over Compassion's skull first before waiting for the Leta elves to kill Prince Rayne.
Today, the envoys of the palace paid a secret visit to the regent.
The regent received the supreme treasure sent by the Dragon Riders solemnly.
Opening the silver-white silk cloth on it, the regent saw the supreme sacred item.
The silver-white skull reflected a charming glow under the light of the morning sun. Just by looking at it, it was as though one's soul could obtain peace.
The regent's heart skipped a beat.
He had finally obtained it…
It was the best sacred skeleton that could be used during the coronation of the Moonlight Queen—the skull of Goddess Compassion!
The next day.
Rayne washed his face and changed his clothes before taking a shower with Alice.
Although they did not sleep much at night, Alice and Rayne were still in good condition.
Be it this young and energetic female demigod or Rayne who was blessed by the evil gods, their stamina was far from something that could be measured by the standards of mortals.
