Chapter 324: Chapter 305: Succubus Race’s Divergence
"Annabella, she is the Great Elder of our Succubus Race."
Hera pointed to the girl in the blue dress and introduced her to Lin Yi.
Just as Lin Yi was puzzled about how this girl, who was only at level 31, could become the Great Elder of the Succubus Race, Hera spoke again:
"She is also the only relative I have, who was born with me."
Lin Yi looked at the girl in the blue dress with surprise. If that’s the case, then the only relative Hera mentioned in her previous question should indeed be her.
But since they are of the same birth, how can there be such a huge power disparity between them?
Hera is now the Clan Leader of the Succubus Race, and her strength is as high as level 68, almost equal to the level 69 of the Corpse Demon Race’s Clan Leader they encountered earlier.
Yet, the girl in front of him in the blue dress is only level 31!
At this point, Lin Yi still couldn’t quite believe that the culprit causing such a commotion turned out to be this seemingly harmless girl.
Thus, Lin Yi understood why only the lower-level races were affected this time.
Because with this girl’s strength, she couldn’t possibly handle the medium or high-level races.
Even among the Lizardman Race, there are some masters of Fifth Transformation level.
Only races like the Antlerman and the Bikuman, whose strongest are at the Third Transformation level, could potentially make trouble, yet they have no way to deal with the powerful Succubus Race.
At this moment, Hera also introduced the elder standing next to Annabella to Lin Yi:
"This is our Succubus Race’s Guardian."
Lin Yi bowed to her as if it were ordinary:
"Honorable Guardian, it is a pleasure to meet you."
The Guardian responded with only a faint nod, which Lin Yi took in stride.
Annabella looked at Lin Yi:
"How did you end up here?"
Hera was about to introduce them:
"Oh, he is someone I invited..."
But Lin Yi interrupted directly, saying:
"Just here for fun."
Then he introduced himself:
"My name is Lin Yi, I’m very pleased to be invited to visit such a mysterious Holy Land."
Hera looked at Lin Yi in surprise, not knowing why he said that but also didn’t expose him:
"He is a representative of the Chosen Ones this time, I invited him to see if he might have a way to solve the current crisis of our race."
The Guardian suddenly spoke with a slightly disdainful tone:
"What solution can a mere Third Transformation level mage have?"
Hera laughed lightly:
"Don’t underestimate him as just a mage, he has another identity, as the inheritor of Carl’s deity."
"What?"
The Guardian of the Succubus Race was stunned, and one of his half-closed eyes suddenly widened in shock as he looked at Lin Yi.
In that instant, Lin Yi clearly felt a fleeting sense of: murderous intent!
But obviously, except for Lin Yi, the other two persons did not feel any difference.
Annabella curiously asked:
"Does he have a solution?"
Hera looked at Lin Yi, and Lin Yi directly shook his head and said:
"No!"
A trace of disappointment passed on Annabella’s face, but soon she reignited her fighting spirit and said:
"The Holy Blood Pill is just five races’ blood away from being successfully refined, and perhaps this is the only way our Succubus Race can escape the crisis."
"Clan Leader, I’ve already chosen these five races,"
"This time I hope you can approve the Guardian to join me."
"Once the Holy Blood Pill is refined successfully, the Holy Blood Tree can return to normal, and our Succubus Race can go back to its peak period."
Annabella looked earnestly at Hera, waiting for the final decision from the Succubus Race’s Clan Leader.
However, Hera first glanced at Lin Yi, then looked disappointedly at the obstinate girl in front of her:
"Do you know that even if the Holy Blood Tree can be restored, our Succubus Race will still be abandoned by the Hundred Races? This act would be akin to what those people from the Witch Race did."
But Annabella stubbornly retorted:
"If we don’t do this, in a hundred years, there won’t be any trace of our Succubus Race left in this world."
"By then, how many will still remember the significant contributions our Succubus Race made to the Hundred Races in the past?"
Annabella pointed towards the outer city in excitement, tears of grievance running down her face:
"Look at those people outside now, I’m merely helping them rid of some heinous clansmen."
"Not only they aren’t grateful, but they also overturned the statue of our ancestor Sharon Zimmerman. Do you still hope anyone would remember our achievements and save us from dire straits?"
"Stop dreaming!"
"The only ones who can save us now are ourselves."
Then Lin Yi suddenly interjected and asked:
"I’d like to know, what are the five races you selected?"
Annabella turned to Lin Yi, not intending to hide anything, and straightforwardly stated:
"Lizardmen, Goblins, Werewolf Race, Snake-man Race, and most importantly..."
Lin Yi followed Annabella’s gaze towards the Golden Behemoth behind him, and his expression suddenly fell.
Annabella spoke:
"Behemoth Race!"
Suddenly, Hera’s expression drastically changed:
"Annabella, that’s enough!"
"Stop making one mistake after another!"
"Regardless of whether the Holy Blood Pill can save the Holy Blood Tree, I will never choose to use such dirty means to save our Succubus Race."
"Would you rather watch our Succubus Race march towards destruction?"
Annabella looked madly at Hera, her eyes filled with madness.
The level 68 Hera, surprisingly retreated two steps after facing the level 31 Annabella’s shout.
She looked at this girl she considered her only relative with disbelief:
"Can you tell me who told you about this method?"
As the Clan Leader of the Succubus Race, Hera herself didn’t know about this so-called Holy Blood Pill.
And where did this usually simple-looking girl get the knowledge that such a method can be used to refine the so-called Holy Blood Pill?
Upon hearing Hera’s question, Annabella subconsciously stepped back but then thought of something, raised her head again to look at Hera:
"Who told me isn’t important, what’s important is that I know using this method can prevent our Succubus Race from walking towards extinction."
Hera looked at Annabella with disappointment:
"Doing this will only push our Succubus Race into a point of no return!"
"I won’t agree to let the Guardian join you in this nonsense!"
"From now on, stay in the clan and reflect."
Then Hera shouted:
"Come forth!"
Suddenly, more than a dozen Phantom Assassins of the Succubus Race gradually appeared around Annabella:
"Clan Leader!"
Hera was shocked:
"You..."
What shocked Hera even more was that these Phantom Assassins did not bow to her but to the girl in the blue dress, Annabella, who was only at level 31!
Hera couldn’t believe it and furiously shouted for assistance:
"Come, come, I need assistance!"
But no matter how much Hera called, there was no movement around.
It was then Annabella spoke slowly:
"Sister, I didn’t want to do this either, but you forced me."
"If I didn’t do this, our race would one day perish at your hand."
"If it wasn’t for Sharon Zimmerman’s expedition back then, where would the peace we have today come from,"
Annabella pointed angrily at the outer city:
"But look at now!"
"How many remember how our Succubus Race sacrificed for their peace at such a terrible cost!"
"Since no one remembers our goodness, I’ll only have to retrieve what rightfully belongs to our Succubus Race by myself."
Before turning away, Annabella looked at Hera:
"If you don’t want our Succubus Race to be destroyed at your hand now, then please stay here with this Chosen One for a while."
Watching Annabella fall deeper into madness, Hera could only cast her pleading gaze towards the respected Guardian of the Succubus Race:
"Gazar Guardian, stop her, don’t let her continue making mistakes."
But to Hera’s greater despair, the Guardian she had high hopes for followed Annabella’s footsteps and turned to leave.
Only then Lin Yi calmly spoke:
"Don’t bother asking, because the method of refining the Holy Blood Pill was proposed by your race’s Guardian."
Hera, filled with grief, was trembling at these words:
"What!"
