518: The identity of the mysterious master

Chapter 517 The Identity of the Mysterious Sovereign

Since talking with Sovereign Alice last night, Dick had been trying various methods, attempting to increase the task progress of The Last Confession.

All day long, Dick transformed into a question-asking baby, pestering Sovereign Alice with questions about everything – Lords, agreements, timespaces... all high-level questions.

At night, Dick used Isurna as a breakthrough point, starting from various aspects such as spirit, soul, and body, finding different ways to analyze the love words.

But despite such effort, the task progress only increased by 12%, currently staying at 93% without further change.

Only the last 7% remained, and there was only one day left until the death tribulation arrived.

Tomorrow night, the passage to the Main Spacetime will expand, and that Mysterious Sovereign will no longer be able to defend it. Who knows how many Lords will be let in.

If it was just one or two Lords, perhaps hugging Alice's thigh could barely hold them off, but any more... Dick knew he would definitely die!

The temptation to become a Supreme Lord is absolutely fatal. Dick could very well understand those Lords from the Sub-Timespace, because he also yearned to be the strongest.

"Dick... you seem a little restless..."

Isurna forcefully broke free from the daze, her arms trembling as she propped herself up on the bed.

To face the rapidly advancing Dick and still maintain rationality, the number of women in the world who could do it could not be counted on one hand.

Of course, besides Isurna's own strength, the impact brought by the descent of the Sovereign Will was also crucial.

"The death tribulation is approaching," Dick didn't try to act tough but answered honestly, "and the analysis of the love words has stalled. There has been no progress since the afternoon."

No progress isn't scary; what's scary is not knowing how to make progress!

The methods that should be tried have basically all been tried. One guess after another was ruled out until there were no more to try!

Dick uncharacteristically fell into confusion. This final 7% of task progress was truly an insurmountable chasm.

Let alone having only one day, even if Dick were given another month or a year, it would likely be difficult to add even a fraction!

Sovereign Alice and Isurna were very cooperative, and Dick's luck was also quite good, but in the end, it was still just a little short.

"Dick... there will always be a way. Perhaps you should try to change your thinking and look at the problem from another perspective."

Hearing this, Dick fell into deep thought.

A few minutes later, Dick got out of bed and slowly walked to the window, looking up at the gloomy night sky.

Rumble—

A muffled thunder sounded. The air was filled with a faint fishy smell; a heavy rain was coming.

Although it was night, Dick's eyesight was excellent, and he could easily see all the dark corners within a thousand meters.

Among the bushes, insects and ants scurried around in panic. An ordinary heavy rain could very likely be a disaster for them.

Seeing this, Dick couldn't help but think that the death tribulation for him might be like the heavy rain for the insects and ants.

However, from Dick's perspective, the insects and ants had no need to fear the heavy rain at all.

They could very well burrow into tree holes or soil, or even come into the surrounding military camp buildings... There were simply too many ways to avoid the heavy rain.

But these insects and ants were not Dick. They could sense the heavy rain approaching, but they had no idea how to deal with it.

Isurna's words did remind Dick. He was now like the insects and ants, limited by a low-level perspective, not understanding how to overcome the tribulation.

Perhaps... there was a clever, efficient way to safely pass the death tribulation!

As he thought, Dick clenched his fists, his eyes narrowed, and he looked towards the heavy dark clouds in the night sky.

There must be clues he had overlooked, there must be methods he hadn't tried yet. At this critical moment of life and death, he couldn't hold back his trump cards anymore!

A few minutes later, Alice, who received a soul transmission, arrived at the military tent.

As soon as she entered, a blush crept onto Alice's face, because she smelled some... very familiar scents.

It was clear that an epic battle had just broken out here, and hundreds of millions of soldiers had unfortunately died on the battlefield.

"Hmph, at a time like this, you still have the mind to seek pleasure? Alice, you must not learn this..."

"Di, Dick, you called me over so late, is there... is there something wrong?"

Alice took quick steps, rapidly coming to Dick's side, her pretty face full of anticipation.

Generally speaking, classic battles only involved two armies facing each other, and due to her noble upbringing, Alice was also relatively conservative.

But in order to work efficiently, in situations where time was tight, Dick would often conduct some special battles... such as a melee involving three armies.

The brutality of the fighting far exceeded that of two armies facing each other. Often, billions of soldiers would die in a single night!

And Dick had been busy overcoming the tribulation recently, often skipping his nightly service.

But for the stability of the task The Twisted Witch, Dick still had to make time to appease her, which also led to the development of various special battles.

At this moment in the military tent, smoke filled the air, and all three armies were ready, seeming like they were about to start fighting at any moment!

Dick saw the anticipation in Alice's heart and immediately curled his lip, saying, "I need to find the Sovereign Will inside you and ask it to help pass a message."

"Oh..."

Alice obediently responded, her tone a little disappointed, and could only reluctantly withdraw her troops for now.

The next second, Alice's expression changed, and she said indifferently, "Why are you looking for this Venerable again? Haven't you asked enough questions during the day?"

Because the number of times she had to relay messages was simply too many, Alice now even subconsciously started imitating the tone, as if she were possessed by the Sovereign Will.

"Can your main body help me with something?"

Hearing this, Alice's face showed surprise, and soon she let out a cold snort, saying, "Absolutely impossible! Do you really think this Venerable is your servant? Don't push your luck..."

"The most important Crimson Lotus Tempering Magic in the Doomsday heritage has already been used by me, so Alice now needs another Doomsday heritage!"

Sovereign Alice did not feel dissatisfied with Dick's interruption, because this was exactly what It was concerned about.

"In the history of a million years, many Doomsday Witches have been born. They left behind countless inheritances. This Venerable has Its own arrangements..."

"Then what about the Phoenix Demon Heritage?"

Dick interrupted again, a confident smile on his face, and said slowly, "A few months ago, I had already spent a lot of money in the Wizard Market to search for traces of the Demon Phoenix..."

As expected, as soon as Alice heard this, she immediately asked with concern, "Could it be that you've already found it?!"

Among the many Doomsday heritages, Crimson Lotus and Demon Phoenix are definitely the top two, capable of maximizing strength in a short period!

Dick knew that since the Sovereign Will inside Alice wished for her to become stronger, It would definitely go look for the Phoenix Demon Heritage afterwards.

"As long as your main body helps me with a simple matter," Dick said with certainty, "I will tell you the location of the Phoenix Demon Heritage!"

Hearing this, Sovereign Alice was silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

"Heh heh, even if I don't help, weren't you originally planning to take Alice to obtain the Phoenix Demon Heritage anyway?"

Alice belonged to Dick. His purpose in searching for the Phoenix Demon Heritage was clearly to help Alice increase her strength.

Since that's the case, this doesn't count as a bargaining chip at all!

"That's not necessarily true," Dick chuckled and shook his head, saying casually, "Perhaps I might change my mind and consume the Phoenix Demon Heritage myself?"

"You kid are truly insatiable!"

"This is called the more the merrier!"

Dick shook his head disdainfully, "Besides, after you broke through Level 101, didn't you also gather all the Witch heritages in the world?"

Just kidding, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, who would complain about having too many opportunities?

After nearly a minute of silence, Sovereign Alice compromised. It valued the Phoenix Demon Heritage very much.

Although It had a way to find that Demon Phoenix even if it took over a decade, what It lacked most right now was time.

"Let's be clear first, I will absolutely not use my main body to help you fight against the Lords. This matter is non-negotiable!"

"Of course," Dick waved his hands repeatedly and said gently, "How could I possibly make such a request?"

Regarding Sovereign Alice's main body, Dick was actually still very interested, or more accurately, very interested in Its plan to become a Supreme Lord.

However, at this stage, there was no need to consider any grand ideals or profound layouts. After all, if he died tomorrow night, everything would be gone.

"Speak, what do you need my main body to do?"

Hearing this, Dick took a deep breath, licked his lips, and said, "I hope you can help me figure out the identity of that Mysterious Sovereign guarding the passage!"
