Shien naturally didn’t know that long before interacting with him, Machi had infiltrated the Elven Homeland and made contact with Melika.
This was both to investigate Shien and his companions and to plant some seeds for the future, in case she ever clashed with him.
Therefore, at that time, Machi used mind magic to control Melika, forcing her to reveal everything she knew.
That’s why Machi was so knowledgeable about Shien’s affairs and knew the details of everyone around him.
Afterward, Machi also planted a part of her spirit within Melika, so that she could manipulate her again if necessary, turning Melika into her puppet to do her bidding.
After all, she was going up against someone backed by a Demon Lord and an Evil God. As vile as Machi was, she would still make the necessary preparations.
If nothing unexpected had happened, when Shien, Airi, and the others threatened Machi, the Demon Spirit would have definitely played this card, controlling Melika to do something that would allow her to escape.
Even if it meant using Melika as a shield to block Airi’s dragon breath or something similar, it would still buy the Demon Spirit a chance to escape.
It was because of this preparation that the Demon Spirit dared to openly oppose Shien, right?
Otherwise, for a mere Legendary-level magician to provoke Shien, who was accompanied by a Demon Lord and an Evil God, would be truly foolish.
Unfortunately, the Demon Spirit never imagined that her prepared backup plan would be completely destroyed by an unexpected turn of events.
She wouldn’t have thought that Shien would sleep with Melika, let alone that this would cause earth-shattering changes in Melika, leading to her being taken back to the Divine Realm by Nadue, away from the Elven Homeland.
With Melika gone, how could Machi possibly control her to do anything?
Not only was it impossible, but her machinations were also discovered by the Three Goddesses of the Divine Realm and ruthlessly eradicated.
Now, the remnants of Machi’s spirit within Melika had been completely erased.
The Demon Spirit’s backup plan had become a joke, vanishing into thin air.
Shien didn’t know all of this, but he could roughly guess some of it.
“Fortunately, I didn’t give her too much time and eliminated her directly. Otherwise, who knows how many vile things such a menace would have done.”
Shien’s face was filled with disgust.
Nadue nodded in agreement.
“Perhaps this is the result of the world’s protection over you.” Nadue sighed, “With the protection of the world itself, all situations will unknowingly develop in your favor. The Mother Goddess’s blessing is truly powerful.” ꞦäƝO͍₿ĘꞨ
This wasn’t an unfounded claim.
Otherwise, why did Melika happen to be taken to the Divine Realm at this very moment, away from the Elven Homeland?
Was it simply good luck?
Then this good luck was a little too timely.
Therefore, it was possible that the world itself was guiding and protecting Shien, steering events in his favor.
“Alright.” Shien shrugged nonchalantly, “It seems the Goddess of Fortune is on my side.”
This statement amused Nadue.
“A Goddess who governs fortune does indeed exist. If she knew that she was fortunate enough to be praised by a Hero after a thousand years, she would probably feel very honored.” Nadue chuckled, “However, the fortune you’ve received is far more than this. You’ll gradually understand in the future.”
Afterward, Shien chatted with Nadue for a bit longer, confirming their current situations.
Overall, although both sides had encountered some unexpected events, in the end, they had all passed without any major issues.
Shien hadn’t expected Melika to be unable to return, but since it was Melika’s own encounter, although helpless, he wouldn’t dwell on it too much. He only hoped that the issue with Melika could be perfectly resolved.
Nadue also hadn’t expected that after finding the whereabouts of the Original Demon’s people and informing Shien, thinking that with his abilities and resources, handling this matter would be a piece of cake, it would end up causing such a commotion. She also felt quite helpless about this.
In the end, as long as things on both sides could progress smoothly, it was a good thing.
“After Melika’s condition stabilizes, I will personally bring her back to the human world.”
Nadue left these words.
“Understood.”
Shien nodded.
However, Shien didn’t know that Nadue still had some thoughts in her mind.
“With this, I can’t continue my mission.”
One must know that Nadue’s original purpose in coming to the human world was to monitor Shien and investigate the truth behind this Hero.
Now, because of Melika’s situation, she could no longer continue her surveillance.
“Should I send another goddess to take over this mission?”
Nadue considered this.
But after a moment of thought, she felt helpless again.
“This Hero is much stronger than before, and his senses are much sharper. He seemed to have sensed my presence before. So, besides me, who else can monitor him without being detected?”
Probably no one.
And if the surveillance were to be done openly, directly sending someone to follow him, putting aside whether it would work or not, the choice of personnel would be a huge headache.
“With the Dragon Demon by his side, the Beast Demon and Ghost Demon active, and the other Demon Lords restless, facing such a lineup, which goddess could handle the situation?”
Recalling the several times she had stopped these troublemakers from resorting to violence, Nadue felt a headache coming on.
