"Then, I guess the Shura Race will really be in big trouble this time," Rocky said, having some complex thoughts about it.
"But since the demoness possessed someone from the Shura Race, she won't be able to refresh her powers in a short time. For the time being, you can relax a little. Currently, the most important thing is that you can quell the internal strife within the royal family of the Shura Race. This is a more pressing and urgent matter.
Furthermore, that demoness seems to be very good at scheming and manipulating others. Hence, you must be careful with everyone that you will encounter. At this point, we don't know if there are already enemies lurking around you. Once you are betrayed, it might be too late to fix things." Mikayla gave a fair warning.
"Yeah. If she can even control Prince Enoch, then she really is terrifying!" Rocky nodded, letting out a serious expression.
"Even after you start taking action, it will not be surprising to see that the situation in the Shura Continent will become extremely bad. Once the internal strife within the Shura Race became public, the human race and the spiritual race will definitely take this opportunity to bring the Shura Race down. If the Shura Continent falls into a large-scale turmoil, it will just accelerate the collapse of the Holy-Evil World. Therefore, I can only put our hopes to you two to solve this enormous crisis." Since the deities of the Holy-Evil World could not do anything to interfere, Mikayla could only entrust this mission to Rocky and Vivian.
"Madam, can I just ask something? Why did you choose Miss Vivian to be my support?" Rocky was actually itching to ask this since the beginning. He was very curious that of all people, Mikayla chose Vivian to help him in his mission in the Ghostly Demon Land.
"Well, it's because she had a fortuitous encounter with a rare deity spirit and obtained it," Mikayla answered straightforwardly.
"Really? I did not expect that." Rocky was surprised that Vivian was actually hiding a secret like this.
"Moreover, that deity spirit is actually my elder sister..." Mikayla continued in a low voice.
"I see... Now it makes sense."
It seemed that the moment Vivian acquired the deity spirit, she had somehow gained some information, but she did not open it with anyone. After all, what she learned involved some secrets about the demonic race and the divine race that could not be casually revealed.
"Vivian, I assume that you are aware that what entered you is a deity spirit, right?" Mikayla asked calmly.
"Well, after the spirit fused with me, I saw some fragments of memory. But I did not expect that she is actually your elder sister," Vivian replied honestly.
"Back then, in the disastrous battle between the deities and demons, many of our kind died. After that, they became spirits that drifted towards the Shura Continent. My sister was one of them. In fact, because Vivian got a hold of my elder sister's spirit, I wanted to choose her as the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief. However, she did not appear on the day of the selection. But then afterward, I sensed Deacon's aura from someone in the crowd..." At this time, Mikayla revealed the main reason why she chose Rocky as the Godly Genius instead of Vivian. It turned out that it was not really planned.
"That is such an unexpected revelation. Then, it seems that I will have to thank you, Miss Vivian," Rocky said with a smile. He realized that if it was not for that coincidence, he would not attain what he had now.
"Hey! Are you making fun of me?" Vivian pouted and glared at Rocky.
"Anyway, Vivian, the holy power that you possess is extraordinary. I can assure you that if you can maximize its potential, no one in the Shura Continent will be on par with you aside from this guy. That is also the main reason why I summoned you here. I want to personally ask you to help him prevent the catastrophe that is about to befall the Shura Continent," Mikayla uttered firmly, explaining her serious intention.
"I understand. This is my homeland, so I will try my best to save it," Vivian responded positively. Previously, when Mikayla explained in her dreams the current situation of the Shura Continent and the Holy-Evil World, she already knew that it would be very difficult to turn the situation around. But even after she heard the whole story, she was still firm in doing her part.
"However, you must remember to keep this matter a secret from everyone, even to your closest relatives," Mikayla sternly reminded.
"Yes, madam. I understand," Vivian replied resolutely.
"All right. It's time for you to go back. Be careful, and always bear in mind the things I told you." Then, after giving her final instructions, Mikayla waved her sleeve. In an instant, a golden light enveloped Rocky and Vivian, making them instantly disappear from where they were standing.
Not long after, the two felt a dazzling light shooting on their faces. Upon opening their eyes, they saw the bright sun and noticed that they were in a plain grassland. The sky was very clear, and a gentle breeze was blowing among the grasses. Everything looked rather peaceful. In fact, one would suspect that he was not in the territory of the Shura Race.
