Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Sini's Origins, Mysterious Forces
"Looks like I'll have to pin my hopes on that little girl," Elsa muttered to herself. Despite the Saint Martial Sect's success in establishing their faction, she saw it as a potential advantage.
She recalled that Godslayer's other force, Gates City, had also triggered a faction mission.
Now that he'd tasted success, he was bound to continue building more factions.
All she could do now was hope that Tracy could reach the tenth level of the Godpath technique before then.
When that happened, Elsa was confident she could not only kill Godslayer but also destroy the Land of Death.
...
In the Abyss.
John and Sini soon arrived at the cliff where Tony and Ben were meditating in seclusion.
Rumble...
The ground trembled as the cliff parted on its own before John could speak. Two figures shot out.
It was Tony and Ben.
"Kid, you didn't come to chat this soon, did you?" Ben asked with a grin. His attention quickly shifted to Sini, and his expression changed to one of surprise, laced with a hint of hostility. "Such a high affinity for dark energy! Are you from the demon race?"
Sini, startled, quickly hid behind John and shook her head.
John, slightly displeased, said, "Senior, this is my wife, Sini. Can you really sense her dark affinity?"
"Not from the demon race?" Ben gave him a skeptical look, then glanced back at Sini, the hostility not entirely gone as he muttered to himself, "That's strange."
Tony, also surprised by Sini's dark affinity, didn't linger on it and instead turned to John. "So, what do you need our help with?"
John nodded and explained, "I've sensed the presence of the Jade Heart Lotus. It's in the hands of the Orcs. However, they've already established a faction, and they have tier-nine powerhouses. I might need your assistance."
"The Orcs?" Ben's brow furrowed, his expression turning angry. "Those lowly creatures- how dare they steal a Beast Clan treasure?"
He then looked at John and said firmly, "Don't worry. With the two of us, the Orcs don't stand a chance."
Tony nodded in agreement. "Just summon us when the time comes."
John had control over the Abyss and could summon Tony and Ben whenever he needed.
"Thank you both," John said gratefully.
With these two tier-nine powerhouses on his side, he felt much more confident.
"There's one more thing." John glanced at Sini and asked, "Would it be possible for Sini to train here in the Abyss?"
Since he couldn't stay in the Abyss for long, leaving Sini under the protection of Tony and Ben would ensure her safety.
"Of course," Tony agreed with a nod.
Ben, however, eyed Sini once more, his eyes narrowing as he asked, "Kid, are you sure this girl isn't from the demon race?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Is there something wrong?" John asked, puzzled. He knew Ben's abilities were extraordinary, even capable of seeing through John's secret as a reincarnator. Could there be something unusual about Sini that he hadn't noticed?
Ben focused for a moment before confirming, "I'm sure she's from the demon race, but there's no trace of demon race energy on her. She probably wasn't raised among them."
John was taken aback and asked, "Sini, could you really be from the demon race?"
Sini shook her head firmly. "That's impossible. I'm an orphan. I was adopted by the Griffin Family when I was young. How could I be from the demon race?"
She felt defensive, shooting an angry glare at Ben, clearly upset by his claim. Tony interrupted, trying to ease the tension. "Alright, maybe you're mistaken."
"Maybe," Ben muttered as he stroked his beard, letting the matter go for now.
"If there's nothing else, seniors, I'll take my leave," John said, preparing to depart. He glanced at sini.
After a brief hesitation, Sini added, "Once we've dealt with the Orcs, and if there's nothing else pressing, I'll come back here to train."
"Alright," John agreed. With a wave of his hand, he opened a spatial rift, and the two of them stepped through, leaving the Abyss.
Of course, Sini, Ritchie, and Armstrong insisted on coming along to witness the battle firsthand, and John didn't refuse.
Under the cover of night, John flew swiftly through the dense forest, his sword carrying him effortlessly. He moved alone.
While the others had been sent into the Land of Death, ready to be summoned at any moment
for a surprise attack on the Orcs.
...
In the distance, the flicker of torchlight illuminated a vast city nestled in the dark forest.
The Fallen City of the Orcs.
"Hmm, players?" John slowed his flight as he noticed movement in the forest below players.
These players had joined the Orcs' faction.
In the world of Gods, new factions had begun recruiting human players, including the Dark
City of the Dark Humans and the Land of Corruption of the Orcs. However, their entry
requirements were extremely high.
Only the most elite players could join these two powerful factions.
John chose not to engage them, worried that any action might alert the Orcs.
Whoosh...
A figure passed silently overhead.
"Hey, did you see that?" one of the players asked, sensing something in the sky and looking
up in confusion.
"It was probably just some powerful flying beast. Don't worry about it. Let's focus on leveling
up. Once we hit tier five, we'll be able to join the Orcs' inner circle," their leader said, as they continued to fight, working together to take down a tier-four berserk tree monster.
Even though these players had joined the Orcs' faction, they were only outer disciples with
limited access to resources.
To gain more, they needed to reach tier five and join the faction's core.
...
Meanwhile, John silently arrived at the outskirts of the Orcs' Fallen City.
The towering walls were illuminated by torches, with Orc patrols clearly visible.
Deep in the Eternal Forest, this city was frequently attacked by beasts, and the Orcs maintained constant vigilance around the clock.
"The Jade Heart Lotus is definitely here," John whispered to himself, holding the glowing remnant soul that reacted strongly to the presence of the lotus.
This was the fragment of Ben's remnant soul.
He could sense clearly that the Jade Heart Lotus was somewhere within the city. Focusing his mind, John communicated with the Land of Death and began summoning his
forces.
Buzz!
A spatial ripple disturbed the air, and a group of powerful figures descended silently, each maintaining perfect quiet.
"Husband, there are three tier-nine powerhouses here!" Sara appeared beside John, her
senses sharp as she whispered a warning.
"Three? Can Tony and Ben handle that?" John felt uneasy. He had assumed there would be at
most one tier-nine in this city, given the Orcs' general weakness, but three? It made him doubt their chances.
