Chapter 246 – Cat Dad's Sneaky Supporter Has an Affair
Diabolos glanced at Yuan Shaoqing. Upon noticing that Yuan Shaoqing was a weak immortal, he spat.
"Useless immortal. You can't even form the 18th constellation, and you have the balls to ask for my help? Why should I help you?"
"What do you want, then?! What do I have to do to gain power?"
Diabolos smirked. He looked around and scanned through the people behind the emperor. While he was at it, he read Yuan Shaoqing's karma. Looking around for a while, the demon finally found what he wanted.
"How about this? I'm at the bottleneck of the immortal realm. I need worshipers and followers to become a god! All of you, worship me, and I shall bestow you my deity's blessings!"
"…"
It was no different from bowing their heads to Pangu. Yuan Shaoqing was reluctant.
Diabolos was also desperate for ascension. He pointed his finger at Yuan Shaoqing and gave him a freebie as a teaser.
DING
<Diabolos has temporarily granted you the Authority of Memory Destruction.>
<You may delete any skill or spell of your opponent once!>
Seeing the message, Yuan Shaoqing was astonished. This law was so strong that it defied the logic of this world.
The demon chuckled, "This is a sample of the blessings you can get from me. I can tell that you once served Pangu, but that prick abandoned you. Serve me instead, and I shall grant you the privilege of becoming my first apostle! Make me a god, and I will make you the true king of this world!"
"…"
Yuan Shaoqing gulped. His hands didn't stop trembling.
Although hesitant and unwilling, Yuan Shaoqing lost to his greed and ambition. He knelt and cupped his fist, saluting the giant demon.
"I, Yuan Shaoqing, worship you as my deity!"
Seeing how their emperor capitulated to the demon, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, and others also knelt and submitted.
On the other hand, Yuan Hua didn't feel like becoming someone's pawn. She yelled at her brother.
"That's it! You're no longer my brother! From now on, we're strangers!"
Yuan Hua grudgingly glared at the large demon. She gritted her teeth and flew toward the east, where the Seaside Town was.
Diabolos didn't pursue it. He needed quantity, not quality.
"Hahahaha! Good! Now, carve a statue of me and burn some incense. Bow nine times to the statue and the ritual will be completed! Once you're done, I'll grant you more authority and teach you the unique constellation domain abilities I know! Not even Taotie can eat my power!"
Yuan Shaoqing rejoiced. He bowed, "It shall be done!"
.

Yuan Hua shed a tear, thinking of the good time she had with Yuan Shaoqing. She also thought of Shepherd, who managed to repel her attack and kissed her when they first met.
The magical girl wondered where her crush was. She wanted to see him again.
While Yuan Hua was flying aimlessly, a game notification message prompted her of a new major event for World Three.
DING
<Global Event!>
<A calamity-class fiend has been residing on a rural island, north of Seaside Town. Eyewitnesses said that there was a Gnoll Dungeon on one of the islands, and the fiend might be residing there.>
<The ruler of Asgard, Odin, has formed an alliance with the Church of Pangu. They are launching a crusade against the calamity fiend Taotie, and they are recruiting aspired warriors to join them!>
<If you wish to join the crusade, gather at the Seaside Town. The main forces of the Church and Asgard will arrive at the Seaside Town in seven days, and they will head north toward the archipelago zone with the troops. If you wish to contribute, you may join them or proceed to Taotie's hideout before the schedule!>
<Great prizes await the noble warriors. For those who report yourself at the event NPC, you will receive a guaranteed ultra-rare NFT gacha ticket as a participation reward!>
<For more details, check the official site!>
"…"
Yuan Hua furrowed her brows as she didn't understand the latter half of the messages.
What NFT?
What gacha?
However, Yuan Hua was curious about the Gnoll Dungeon that the message mentioned. She also wanted to see what the "Event NPC" was. However, she didn't know where she needed to go.
WHOOSH
As if heaven answered her wish, a golden beacon appeared, pinpointing the location of the Event NPC for every player in the game world.
Seeing the beacon, Yuan Hua pursed her lips. She flew there without hesitation.

Meanwhile, the popular guy sneaked away from Xiaomao and rushed out of the dungeon. He rode his flying surfboard to Cernun Island to visit someone.
The fairies there didn't bother stopping him. On the contrary, they giggled and followed him everywhere.
Shepherd entered the forest and arrived at the foggy area, where black tree trunks, vines, and roots formed a large wall, surrounding a mysterious area inside.
RUMBLE
The wall parted way for Shepherd to enter. The dude squeezed through the small gap and entered the hidden area of the main island.
In front of Shepherd was a scarlet flower field, floating over the blood swarm. The fairies that had been following after him got bigger and turned into refined fairies in their adult form. However, they didn't wear anything.
Shepherd ignored the nudists and approached the large crimson tree at the center of the swamp. At the tree trunk, a fairy with the largest wings sat there, singing a song while playing the harp for a small fairy on her lap.
When Shepherd approached them, the two fairies looked up.
The small one was none other than Magdalene. As for the other fairy, she was the secret familiar that Shepherd never summoned.
The Fairy Queen Titania, Level 8500
Shepherd took a deep breath. He exhaled and pinched his Adam's apple.
"I'm home."
Titania brightly smiled, "Welcome home, my husband."
Qidia emerged from the blood swamp and hugged Shepherd from behind, "Don't forget that I'm here, my dear."
Magdalene raised her arms and pouted, "HEY! I'M HIS FIRST WIFE!"
No one could hear what they were talking about, including the bystanding fairies. Only these four could hear and speak under the black tree.
