Time to Prepare to Leave

During the battle of the Starry Sky Palace, Fang Li experienced a considerable number of battles and encountered one powerful enemy after another.

Leaving aside Crimson King like Libelzard, the four Third Level Demon Lord —the Three Pillars and Sabrac— alone Fang Li nearly died several times. It's truly a miracle that he managed to escape alive.

In addition, Fang Li had also been working hard in the Starry Sky Palace to assassinate the many teams of the "Bal Masqué". In order to deal with the outburst of the Three Pillars and the manifestation of Alastor, he used the Holy Mark twice, pushing himself to the limit. His body and soul were naturally extremely weak.

In such cases, physical injuries can be healed through external forces, but the depletion of the soul cannot.

"What kind of power did you use to do this?"

Shana frowned, looked directly at Fang Li, and asked the question in a dignified manner.

"In the past week, many skilled healers in the Outermost Dwelling have examined you, but they still haven't been able to wake you up."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li did not answer Shana's question, but instead noticed an important word in Shana's words.

"Outermost Dwelling?"

Fang Li dug this memory out of his mind.

"Outermost Dwelling" refers to the support facilities for Flame Haze Warrior.

Its function is to provide Flame Haze Warrior with Matoba intelligence exchange, rest, meals and even accommodation, and it provides a lot of support for the Flame Haze Warrior's funding and convenience, making it an indispensable logistical support for the Flame Haze Warrior.

In addition, the Outermost Dwelling also serves as the Flame Haze Warrior's combat command center.

Therefore, the Outermost Dwelling has Key Points all over the world, so that the Flame Haze Warrior are not isolated and helpless while fighting on their own.

Otherwise, no matter how many or how powerful the Flame Haze Warrior, they will inevitably be targeted one by one by the Crimson Realm Denizens do whatever they want in the Real World, and eventually all of them will be killed.

"This is one of the Key Points of the Outermost Dwelling, located in the desert where we landed," Shana said to Fang Li. "So, we haven't left this desert yet."

"Really?" Fang Li immediately asked, "How's the ' Bal Masqué ' going?"

"I don't know," Shana said directly. "After Alastor appeared, I lost consciousness. You were the one who brought me out, so I wanted to ask you that."

"I don't know either," Fang Li sighed. "Back then, I was fighting with all my might to survive Alastor's flames. How could I have had time to pay attention to how the ' Bal Masqué ' was going?"

In other words, neither Fang Li nor Shana, as the Fang Li involved, knew the current situation of the "Bal Masqué".

Under these circumstances, Alastor finally spoke up.

"By the time my manifestation ended, Starry Sky Palace had already been sunk by me."

Alastor said in a heavy voice, "Although it was only an incomplete manifestation, my power at that time was beyond the resistance of ordinary apostles. Therefore, apart from the Three Pillars and a few other powerful Demon Lord, the rest of the apostles should have perished in the sea of fire."

Although Alastor's words did not carry much confidence or arrogance, the matter-of-fact tone revealed his full awareness of his own power.

And Alastor was right.

Although it is only an incomplete manifestation, Alastor is still the true demon god of the Crimson World, the embodiment of the laws of "Judgment" and "Conviction", and a pillar of the gods who are hailed as the God of Heavenly Punishment.

If such an existence were to fully manifest, it would be an absolutely cataclysmic event.

It's easy to understand if you think about it.

The Three Pillars are already considered top-tier in the Third Level.

These three Demon Lord, however, were beings created by the Creation God.

If that's the case, Alastor, who is on par with the Creation God and even capable of defeating gods of the same level, is definitely more than just Third Level.

So, what rank is Alastor?

Second Level?

Or is it the legendary, invincible first tier?

Fang Li didn't know.

Fang Li only knew that it was an incomplete manifestation, and he had to do everything he could to survive the aftershocks. Ordinary apostles wouldn't even have the power to resist.

Therefore, apart from the powerful Demon Lord like the Three Pillars and Sabrac, the rest of the apostles probably perished in the flames.

"So..." Shana said in surprise, "Alastor, you've dismantled the ' Bal Masqué '?"

It wasn't Alastor refuted Shana's statement, but Fang Li.

"Only a minority of the ' Bal Masqué ' members remain in the Starry Sky Palace; the vast majority have scattered across the world," Fang Li stated. "Therefore, Alastor's campaign against them only targets a small portion of the ' Bal Masqué ' members; it's far from enough to dismantle the entire Bal Masqué."

Fang Li paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Besides, as long as the Alliance Leader is still around, the ' Bal Masqué ' can be set up at any time, right?"

"As long as the serpent used in the Creation God's Serpent of the Festival remains..."

One sentence made the atmosphere in the whole room heavy.

"Creation God, Serpent of the Festival..." Shana murmured the name as if digesting something.

Alastor, however, said, "There's nothing to worry about anymore. The Serpent of the Festival may not be dead, but it was banished to the cracks of the world in ancient times and can never return."

However, Fang Li just pursed his lips and said something like this.

"If only it were that simple."

The casual words made Shana and Alastor's hearts skip a beat.

Now, this isn't the first time the two have met Fang Li. They know that Fang Li sometimes seems nonchalant, he never speaks without a purpose.

If that's the case, what did Fang Li mean by saying that?

Upon closer reflection, Shana and Alastor had a bad feeling.

Just as the two were about to ask for clarification, Fang Li suddenly spoke up.

"Regardless, this crisis is over, but the ' Bal Masqué ' will definitely not give up on the Reiji Maigo I have, and will surely come after me again."

Fang Li turned his gaze to Shana and uttered these words to Shana.

"So, I think it's about time I prepared to leave."
