Catarina

Inside the Metal Life of the Blood Peak Army.

A bald, stout man with a thick neck and a height of two meters suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Kash, hurry over and take a look! This tribe's development is so fast, they already have several High-Gods."

Kash, a slender purple-haired youth who was about to order some Saints to get lost, was a bit surprised by this. He instinctively released his Spiritual Sense to investigate. Now less than a hundred meters from the ground, he could indeed detect many God-level powerhouses.

Kash said in surprise, "There really are a few High-Gods. Huh, is that a Demon Medal!"

A hint of seriousness appeared on his face. In the short time they were chatting, he saw a High-God Demon looking towards the Metal Life from a castle balcony.

A cold-faced golden-haired youth spoke, "That's enough. This has nothing to do with us. Let's just throw them out quickly. We need to get to Red Stone City to pick someone up as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Lord Filius!"

Kash's heart grew solemn, and he stopped wasting time. He dropped the selected Saints and a Low-level God into the tribe, watching their disheveled figures before smiling, "You guys are quite lucky. At least you weren't dropped from a higher altitude."

The indentation on the Metal Life's abdomen recovered, and it suddenly accelerated, disappearing into the horizon.

The newly arrived Saints were summoned by Jess, and they waited nervously for their fate to be decided, filled with awe and trepidation.

A beautiful woman with long pink hair said respectfully, "My Lord, I have a piece of Ink Stone and hope to receive the tribe's protection!"

She was the only God-level powerhouse among this batch of newcomers. Not long after arriving in Hell, she realized that she had severely underestimated the terrifying nature of the supreme plane, where God-level powerhouses were everywhere. Saints were less valuable than dogs. If only she had considered it more carefully.

Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets.

Jess smiled with satisfaction, appraising the woman before him.

She had a soft appearance, a gentle aura, and a wonderfully proportioned figure, her overall presence no less than Diana, who was beside Linley.

Jess had some thoughts in his heart. He didn't accept her Ink Stone and asked in a relatively gentle tone, "What is your name, and which material plane are you from?"

Beautiful women always received some preferential treatment, at least in the first impression.

The pink-haired beauty replied, "My name is Catarina, and I'm from the Halkejinia Plane."

Jess continued to ask questions, such as about the faith and the number of God-level powerhouses in her material plane.

Catarina stated, "There are three faith-based powers in the Halkejinia Plane: the Earth Papacy, the Lightning Papacy, and the Life Papacy."

"Regarding the number of God-level powerhouses, from what I know, each Papacy has three God-level powerhouses. The Pope is a Mid-level God, while the others are Low-level Gods. At least, that's what's publicly known; I suspect there are hidden God-level powerhouses behind the scenes."

"The three major Papacies jointly divided the Enpas Continent."

"In the endless sea, there is a Sea Clan King who is a High-God. All sea beasts and island nation humans believe in him. The three Papacies fight amongst themselves yet also unite to resist the Sea God Faith."

Jess asked meaningfully, "So, your home material plane hasn't experienced the large-scale descent of powerhouses from the God Planes, let alone the supreme plane?"

Catarina nodded and answered truthfully, "Yes, I've never heard of such a thing. It's just that before I came here, the conflict between the three Papacies and the sea's faith was escalating."

Jess looked at the other Saints and said calmly, "And you?"

"Reporting, my Lord..."

While the Saints were explaining their identities and the material planes they belonged to.

Catarina looked on with some confusion. Why were the High-Gods of the Hell tribe so interested in the affairs of material planes? Was it just personal curiosity?

"That's not right!"

Catarina recalled hearing some Blood Peak Army soldiers chatting while traveling in the Metal Life. They seemed to be greatly expanding their forces and were going to a Sovereign city called Red Stone City to pick up people for concentrated training.

"Could it be that Hell is going to war?"

Catarina wasn't sure. She still had too little information. After thinking for a moment, she decided to reveal more secrets. When Jess had asked enough, she smiled and said, "My Lord, if you are interested in material planes, I can provide information at any time."

"Hmm, what do you mean?"

Jess didn't react immediately.

Catarina smiled and explained, "I still have a Light Element Low-level God Avatar in my material plane."

Jess raised an eyebrow, half-believing, half-doubting, "How can you prove it?"

Catarina directly separated her Saint main body and said, "I became a god through the Light Element Profound Mysteries. If you don't believe me, you can find a Light Element Low-level God to test me."

Jess really didn't refuse, smiling, "Alright, let me take a look then."

He called out to find someone...

Before long, a golden-haired youth walked over and respectfully saluted, "Lord Jess!"

Jess pointed at Catarina, explained the situation, and instructed, "The Divine Spark you refined also contains the Profound Mysteries of the Light Element. It's perfect for testing her Saint main body."

On the open ground of the tribe.

The golden-haired youth smiled like a courteous gentleman and said humbly, "You attack first. I will suppress my strength and not use my Divine Domain."

Catarina didn't stand on ceremony. Her Saint main body radiated a brilliant white light, and her figure moved rapidly like a sharp streak, emitting faint sonic booms.

"Bang!"

The golden-haired youth raised his hand and sent out a wave of white light. The two clashed violently, causing an explosion. Dust rose but couldn't block the light. The light spheres engaged in fierce battles, the two figures interweaving and then closing in. These were the simplest applications of the Light Element, as well as some lifelike Light Element creatures.

After a few exchanges, the golden-haired youth created distance and shouted, "Let's stop here. I've confirmed that your Profound Mysteries of the Light Element have reached great accomplishment!"

Catarina instantly retracted her power and looked at Jess.

"Clap clap clap clap!!"

Jess applauded, both surprised and delighted, and said with a loud laugh, "The Tianlan Tribe warmly welcomes a genius like you to join us. The Chief will surely be very happy when he finds out."

Most of the information provided by the Saint Domain from the material plane had a certain lag. The Tianlan Tribe was in urgent need of new recruits like Catarina who had a Divine Avatar in the material plane.

"Come, let me introduce you to the tribe's upper-level God-level powerhouses."

Jess's change in attitude made Catarina secretly breathe a sigh of relief. She knew her gamble had paid off; showcasing her value was the way to improve her status.

Inside Red Stone City.

Jess's fire element Mid-level God avatar arrived at Linley's residence. Upon seeing his Death God Avatar, he said with a smile, "I have good news for you. A promising newcomer has arrived at the tribe..."

Linley said happily, "Excellent, the more people like this the better."

Jess chuckled and said, "Should I send her over to Red Stone City? By the way, this Catarina is no worse than Diana."

Linley smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need. Unlike others who have no potential and can only rely on our Saint Domain, bringing her into the city would make her harder to control. Besides, things that are obtained too easily are not cherished. Let's observe her for a while longer."
