Chapter 73

Then she would be the one who charms all under heaven, making every living being fall for her.

It was clearly just very common black eyes and black hair,

hard to imagine why she would possess such a face that enchants all living beings.

Su Yu was lost in a daze for a long time before he came back to his senses.

He asked in bewilderment, "You... what did you call me?"

"Master, what's wrong?"

Yeliyana's eyes were wide open, filled entirely with curiosity.

Good heavens,

she was just recruited, and her loyalty is 70, right?

This kneeling on one knee, and calling him Master,

her behavior was even more exaggerated than Iloti, whose loyalty was 91...

Su Yu found it somewhat incomprehensible.

He was silent for a moment, glancing at the thin black tail behind Yeliyana, like a slender whip.

"Are you from the succubus tribe?" Su Yu felt even more doubtful inside.

"Yes, Master." Yeliyana nodded.

How could a weak succubus tribe produce an existence akin to myth?

Their status in the myriad realms was even lower than that of the human race.

They usually existed by attaching themselves to other races.

What was going on here?

Besides, weren't a succubus's eyes supposed to be red?

Su Yu thought back to the knowledge he had learned in high school, the records about the succubus tribe.

After pondering for a while, he stopped dwelling on it.

He reached out both hands and helped Yeliyana to her feet.

Yeliyana is simply too obedient.

Her loyalty is only 70, which falls under "loyal to one's duty."

Yet the attitude she displays is something neither Sylph nor Elodie can match.

Perhaps in Yeliyana's eyes,

this so-called loyalty to one's duty

is exactly how it should be — complete submission to Su Yu.

One truly wonders, once her loyalty rises to 80 or reaches 90,

what would her behavior be like then?

"What is your ability?"

Since Yeliyana was this obedient, Su Yu simply asked directly,

without worrying about her being difficult and causing loyalty to drop.

"Master, I can alter my appearance, suited for stealth and skilled in assassination."

As Yeliyana spoke,

her form gradually began to change.

Her chest slowly flattened, her black hair began to shorten,

and a pure white, luxurious outfit appeared on her body.

In the blink of an eye, she had transformed into Su Yu's likeness.

This was her ability, "Myriad Faces, Ten Thousand Visages" — allowing her to take on the appearance of anyone she has seen.

She displayed her ability to Su Yu like a conjuring trick,

with not the slightest air of a mythic hero.

Su Yu stared dumbfounded as another version of himself appeared,

identical in every way.

It was not an illusion — it was real.

"This..."

Seeing the astonishment in Su Yu's eyes,

Yeliyana smiled faintly, and her form began to shift again.

A flash of black light flickered and vanished.

In an instant, she had become Elodie's likeness.

Holy, sacred.

Elodie, standing at Su Yu's right hand, frowned as she looked at Yeliyana.

Beside them, Sylph's eyes sparkled with keen interest.

She stepped forward,

rubbing here, pinching there.

She absolutely could not tell this was a counterfeit Light Mythic Angel.

Curious, Su Yu also reached out and squeezed her arm.

This tactile sensation, this holy scent,

they were exactly the same as Elodie's!

"Do not touch me."

The fake Elodie frowned as she spoke, her cold countenance intimidating.

"Too real... even the voice, even the demeanor, exactly the same..."

Su Yu clicked his tongue in amazement.

If he had not witnessed Yeliyana's transformation with his own eyes,

he likely would have believed this was truly Elodie.

"Thank you for your praise, Master." The fake Elodie beamed a smile.

In that instant, the blazing sun itself seemed to dim.

Su Yu froze for a moment and gulped.

He had never seen Elodie show such an expression, nor call him master...

Suddenly,

a sweep of radiant holy light flashed. Elodie looked coldly at Yeliyana. "In the future, do not assume my form."

"Alright, angel sister." Yeliyana smiled, and with a shift of her form, changed into Sylph's likeness.

Seeing this, Sylph's eyes lit up, and she naturally linked her arm with Su Yu's.

Yeliyana, now in the form of Sylph, likewise linked her arm with Su Yu's other one.

Two Sylphs,

one on each side, holding his arms. Su Yu felt a little dizzy.

"Lord Su Yu, which one is the real me?"

Sylph asked, gazing at him with her gentle, jade-green eyes.

"Uh..."

Su Yu froze. The briefest moment of distraction had made him forget which side Yeliyana had been on.

He truly could not tell them apart.

Beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

Su Yu didn't dare answer rashly, afraid that if he answered wrong, Sylph's loyalty would drop.

"Boring."

Iloti shot the two women a glance,

The six wings emerged from the light, just about to unfurl,

when Su Yu suddenly called out to stop her.

"Iloti, don't go out exploring for a while."

Having found a topic, Su Yu hurriedly pulled his arms free from the two Sylphs' grasp.

Yeli Yeli Yana reverted to her original appearance.

"Why?" Iloti asked, displeased.

Faced with Iloti, who was practically a model laborer in the territory,

Su Yu had long grown accustomed to her attitude.

He mused thoughtfully and said, "The outside world lately... may not be peaceful."

"Even though you have 'Holy Radiance' to conceal you, so others can't discover you're an angel,"

"still, you'd better not go out."

As he spoke, Su Yu told Iloti about what he had encountered earlier.

A faction formed by previous lords — the Demon Blood Alliance —

was entrenched somewhere within an area tens of thousands of miles across.

They must not be rashly alerted.

"Alright." Iloti nodded.

She simply wanted to do more for Su Yu; now that Su Yu had said this, she wouldn't cause him any trouble.

"Summer is about to arrive. Just rest well in the territory."

Su Yu smiled.

The four seasons of the Myriad Realms Battlefield

were utterly distinct, each with its own character.

Summer would bring drought — everywhere would be scorching hot.

Except in special glacial terrain, the air temperature in other terrains could reach over fifty degrees.

Autumn was absolute desolation.

Crops could not grow; all things were saturated with the intent of withering and decay.

In winter, the water molecules in the air would freeze into ice; the atmosphere would be incredibly dry.

Ordinary terrain would receive heavy snowfall, becoming like an ice cavern.

And what governed the four seasons of the Myriad Realms Battlefield

was not simple weather changes, but Intent.

The intent of spring, intent of summer, intent of autumn, and intent of winter — emitted by the very rules of the Myriad Realms Battlefield.

Therefore, from spring onward, one had to begin stockpiling food.

Every new generation of lords descended upon the Myriad Realms Battlefield starting in spring.

Otherwise, during other seasons, survival was extremely unlikely.

On this point, Su Yu had no great worries.

He had previously learned that Bai Bai Xiaowei possessed the talent "Spring Year-Round."

The talent's effect covered a very large area.

Even the summer, autumn, and winter of the Myriad Realms Battlefield would not hinder his territory's development.

Farmers would not collapse from the heat,

rivers would not dry up due to the summer intent,

plants would not wither because of autumn,

and the territory would not cease developing because of winter.

In a certain sense, Bai Bai Xiaowei's talent was considerably powerful.

This was precisely why Su Yu was willing to form an alliance with her.

At present, the allies of "Never Fall" were solely Bai Bai Xiaowei and no one else.

As for the other members of the Blue Star Alliance, they were merely in a "non-hostile relationship."

"Master, I wish to venture out for some training."

Yeli Yeli Yana glanced at Iloti and the Sylph,

and took the initiative to speak.

She could feel the immense power within these two Mythic heroes.

Whichever one it was, she could not afford to provoke either.

She wanted to quickly raise her level and strengthen her power.

"Mm, fine."

Su Yu did not give it much thought.

Having seen Yeli Yeli Yana's abilities, he knew she was the type who preferred to act alone.

She could freely transform into the appearance of others,

and also possessed stealth capabilities.

According to her, the "Mind Bewilder" ability could even control the thoughts of others.

She was practically a perfect assassin.

Su Yu also understood why a mere succubus could become a Dark Mythic.

With abilities like these,

even a pig could probably become a Mythic.

"Oh right, help me keep an eye out for an organization called the 'Demon Blood Alliance.'"

“If you can, infiltrate it.”

“Stay safe.”

Su Yu instructed.

Sending a level-1 Yeliyana to infiltrate the faction built by the old lord

was a formidable task.

He wasn’t particularly worried about Yeliyana’s safety.

After all, (Prince Zhao’s) Yeliyana was a legend who walked in darkness.

“No problem, Master.” Yeliyana grinned.

Her favorite thing to do was being an undercover agent.

The sensation of reaping lives with a scythe

was even more addictive than draining yang energy.

For a succubus,

no,

or rather, an anomaly among succubi,

Yeliyana had, so far, kept her body as pure as a holy maiden’s.

She preferred blood to bathing in vital essence.

In the blink of an eye,

Yeliyana vanished from sight.

Not even a territory notification sounded.

Su Yu knew it was neither speed nor teleportation.

It was Yeliyana’s stealth ability, “Shadow Dive” Tail.

Black light hidden within the multicolored light,

leaving not a trace.

“Go amuse yourselves. I’m off to play a round of TW Arena.”

It was already late. Su Yu said this to Sylph and Elotti,

then opened his lord terminal

and logged into “The World” in the simulated battle network.

Nickname: Moonfall, Territory: “The Never-Fallen,”

now online.
