Chapter 1383 - Return Flight and the Pilgrimage (2/2)

“What the heck?” Hao Ren turned his head stiffly. The beautiful manor that stood there a while ago had become a ruin. There was only blue arcane energy and dust in the air. The last pillar of the house slowly came down in front of him. The sight was so Terminator, so Hollywood, and so Raven 12345.

Hao Ren wanted to swear.

“How could this be!” Hao Ren ran toward the ruin that was still shrouded in smoke and lightning. “My goddess, you did it again?”

Suddenly, light rose from the ruin. Hao Ren instinctively halted. A hologram of Raven 12345 appeared in the light. She looked tidy, except for her messy hairstyle. The scene behind her was a vast vortex filled with red light, bloody clouds, and lightning, like an eye of the storm. It was huge with a chaotic void in the surroundings. It was apparent that the goddess was not in this dimension. But the explosion of the mansion surely had something to do with the vortex behind Raven 12345.

Hao Ren still thought that it was the neurotic goddess who blew up her own house. But seeing the huge energy vortex and the pulsating runes and lines around the energy vortex behind her, he choked back his words and was wide-eyed. “Boss, what are you doing this time? You have just blown up the divine realm.”

“Nah, just a little crisis prevention project,” Raven 12345 said. A powerful red light spurted out of the vortex and instantly formed an extreme complex runic circle in the void. It was apparent that the massive energy structure was still being perfected. “Please don’t be bothered, it was just a little accidental energy leak. I have gotten used to blowing up my house anyway.”

Hao Ren was speechless.

Is such a destruction a “small” energy leak? And what is the “little crisis prevention project” all about? Does the goddess have nothing better to do? Hao Ren thought to himself.

“Ahem, ahem, let’s not delve into the details first.” Raven 12345 looked a little embarrassed and quickly steered away from the conversation. “Oh, you have brought the volunteers. Which one of you is Lorrisa?”

“Here she is,” Hao Ren quickly dragged the stunned elven queen out to the front. The elven queen was not the only one stunned, everyone at the scene was shocked. “She is the one I have mentioned in the report.”

“Is she the clone of the Holletta’s mage empress?” Raven 12345 asked as she carefully glanced at Lorissa. At that brief moment, Lorissa felt a powerful will, which she could not explain, swept over her. The will was so powerful that Lorissa felt that every molecule of her hair and body cells was laid bare in the open; that the spirit and soul that she was always proud of became useless as if they had disappeared. It was not until the gaze of the goddess shifted away from her that she began to regain her sense of existence.

But the almighty gaze was just from the image in the hologram.

Lorissa’s nerves tensed up. She realized that she was facing a real god—at least an existence that she could never understand or resist. She looked nervously at the image of Raven 12345, whose voice reverberated in everyone’s head when she spoke.

“Gee, you have the same hair color as mine.”

Lorissa was bewildered.
