Chapter 473 The Demon Emperor was the great hero?
The High Priestess gained consciousness a few hours ago, but she wasn't able to escape due to the fact that her cultivation was sealed by Steve. The Princess was also in the same condition.
Mark then explained to them his plan of surrendering both of them in exchange for the safe passage for every elf living in Sylvandrial dominion to his world.
Of course, it is a lie.
He merely gave an excuse to keep everyone in the dark so that the demigod realm mage also doesn't find it out. Even now, he suspected that they were being watched, not that they were no longer in the hidden village. His real plan is something else, which was only known to himself.
Steve, who believed Mark's words, firmly stood on his dad's side and helped him by sealing their cultivation. Zan Rong also didn't oppose him as she already considered both of them to be her family.
As for the two elven beauties, Mark couldn't care less what their thoughts were. However, both of them weren't trying to resist or showcase any hatred toward Mark.
After sharing the meat with Steve and Zan Rong and providing a bunch of apples to the vegetarian elves, Mark waited until they finished their food and proceeded to summon his divine throne in the form of a spaceship that looked exactly like the one Steve time traveled.
Pointing at the scary-looking spider ship with numerous black spikes, Mark told everyone to board it.
"Eh? We are going to sleep in there?" Zan Rong was taken aback.
Mark turned around to look at her and then glanced at the others. His attention shifted to her once again as he calmly said, "I'm going back home tomorrow no matter what. So, we are going to solve your problem by the dawn. We have already wasted enough time. Now, let's get going."
The spider ship flew into the sky at supersonic speeds, reaching its destination in just 3 hours.
The royal city of Imladris, which was once a busy and bright city with millions of elves roaming even after the sunset, now became a place where undead monsters were roaming and sleeping on the streets while the possessed elves along with the corrupted elves occupied the houses they took a liking to.
Tears filled up in Elowen's eyes as she looked down at the city with dim-lit streets through the glass.
The High Priestess sat in a corner, neither consoled nor commented on anything. From the moment she regained consciousness and heard about Mark's plan, she never spoke a word.
Meanwhile, in the palace, the Demon Emperor was in a meditative position as he was absorbing the natural energy from the surroundings at a rapid rate.
Unlike the other demonic spirits, which possessed the elves to survive, he has an otherworldly appearance.
He wears dark, jagged, metallic armor adorned with glowing patterns, and his most striking features are his curved forward-facing horns and bright red eyes against a featureless face. He possesses a hulking, muscular build and clawed gauntlets. His gray skin contrasts with the dark tones of his armor, and spiked shoulder pads add to his aggressive appearance.
At that moment, he had a deep frown on his face and soon, he started gritting his teeth in frustration.
Stopping his process of absorption, he mumbled, "Dammit. I cannot just break that wall no matter how much I try. Am I fated to be a supreme being forever?"
"Fortunately for you, that's not the case, Your Majesty," A voice interrupted his thoughts. The Demon Emperor turned his head to find another guy with otherworldly appearance. "Lord Vexiron?" He was slightly surprised by his visit, "What were you doing at this hour?"
The demigod mage let out a creepy smile as he replied, "Remember how I kept saying that I have a plan that can help you break that wall?"
"You meant absorbing the powers with a higher bloodline, someone like the High Priestess?" The Demon Emperor didn't approve of the idea. "You know that divine energy is like poison to us."
The mage nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I know. That is why I thought of making a deal with the High Priestess to give birth to your heir. The heir that contains your bloodline will be a perfect ingredient for your ascension."
After a brief pause, he let out a sigh and continued, "Unfortunately, that deal fell through as I wasn't able to destroy that black hole. Even now, I wasn't able to find out the identity of the person who created it. However, luckily, I coincidentally found the ingredient. If we capture the person, I can guarantee you about not just the success but you will be more powerful than your peers."
"Who is it?" The Demon Emperor got up on his feet as if he was in a hurry.
The mage pointed his finger at the window, "Luckily for you, that person is actually here. Let's go and welcome the guests."
After a while, the spider ship landed right on the premises of the royal palace. Unlike elsewhere, there were practically no guards in the palace or its surroundings cuz there was no need to guard it in the first place.
As a result, only the Demon Emperor and the mage were there to welcome Mark and his companions as they stepped out of the ship and walked toward them.
A slight surprise appeared on both of them as they didn't expect the High Priestess to be standing before them. Adding on top of that, they couldn't sense anything from Mark.
"Who are you? Identify yourselves," said the Demon Emperor in a deep tone. His expression indicated that he could attack them at any moment.
Seeing another supreme being made him a bit wary. As for Steve's young look, the Demons don't care about it. It is in the nature of demons to only care whether you are strong or not.
Mark, who was leading the group, directly came to the matter, "I'm Lu Zhen and I'm here to strike a deal with you." He scanned both of them simultaneously.

"What the F…" Mark was completely taken aback by the description of this enemy. He never expected it to turn out like this.
He then shifted his attention to the mage while wondering whether he would be surprised once again.

"Okay, this one isn't anything special." Mark lost his interest in the mage. Just as he was about to shift his attention back to the demon emperor, the notification sound rang in his head.
*Ding! You received an Emergency Quest, Save Eol.
