Hera.
This woman has an absolute beastly mind.
In the society of jungle beasts, the strong are the objects of worship.
And Hera twisted this mentality to the extreme.
Only men who are more powerful than her will be favored by Hera.
The reason why Hera is so eager to be strong is very simple.
She wants a child.
From a very early age, Hera had the idea that she must find an extremely powerful creature so that his seeds could completely combine with hers.
Even if she's strong enough, the person she's looking for doesn't have to be human.
Because she is not human herself.
Various powerful adventurers often appear in the Adventurer City.
The reason why she established the Beast Guild here was to find a male who was powerful enough to surpass herself.
Including her going to the monster rift and exploring the abyss, it was all to find male monsters that might be stronger than herself and be able to communicate with each other.
This is why, after the eldest prince informed her that a particularly powerful monster appeared in the monster rift.
At the first moment, she couldn't wait to organize the team and hurriedly came here.
She did see a powerful monster, but she also saw a man who was even better than that monster.
Victor Cravener.
As long as she gets this man's seed, she will definitely give birth to the best offspring.
but……
"Are you worthy?"
That mercilessly cold voice echoed across the land.
The adventurers around him were all stunned on the spot, looking at Victor with their mouths open.
Hera is also included.
The dark gray love in her eyes began to crack, and a bud broke through the cracked love and stayed in Hera's eyes.
She looked at Victor with a dull expression, and even her voice trembled slightly.
Perhaps it was because her first courtship was rejected on the spot, which made her find it difficult to accept.
"What's the meaning?"
Victor just said one sentence, shattering Hera's last illusion.
"literal meaning."
Hera is not a human being. She always implements her beast-like actions and thoughts, and her cognition is also no different from that of a beast.
A powerful beast will watch its offspring kill each other, and keep the last and strongest one alive to cultivate them.
Ensure the excellence of your own bloodline and continuously cultivate outstanding next generations through screening.
She herself was born in such an environment.
As a member of the [Beast], Hera killed all her brothers and sisters since she was a child, just to prove that her bloodline was the best.
Under the concept education she received all the time, she only had one concept left in her heart.
That is,
No matter what, she wants to cultivate children who are better than herself, or even better than everyone else.
Pursue the strong, worship the strong, and finally...
Surpass the strong.
However, as Victor said.
"You don't deserve it."
On the one hand, Victor would not allow his bloodline to survive in such an environment, but on the other hand,
Victor said slowly to Hera in a very sparse and ordinary tone:
"Do you think you are strong?"
The moment the words fell, the saplings that had just sprouted were gradually covered with green from the roots.
In the blink of an eye, it grew into several towering giant trees.
The thick green was injected into the giant tree, and lush green leaves spread out from the bare branches, as well as flowers that were about to bloom.
The raindrops falling from the clear sky gradually calmed down. After sliding over the leaves, they hit the earth, forming puddles through the bottom, reflecting the rich green.
Lush green grass actually grew on the ground. The breeze gradually blew through the woods, and waves of green waves rolled outward with a crashing sound.
Hera looked at the instantly changing environment around her and couldn't help being stunned again.
No matter who it is, when they see this miraculous scene, they will be shocked and occupy their mind.
Her mind went blank for a moment, but soon, her consciousness was dominated by herself again.
At this moment, Hera fell into a bout of self-doubt.
Is she... very strong?
Before she met Victor, she was indeed able to declare with great confidence.
She is very, very strong.
From the time he grew up and became stronger, to the time he entered the empire.
Hera had never met anyone more powerful than her.
There may be some beings who can be evenly matched with her, but just being evenly matched will not make Hera the one she chooses.
Even when she heard about Victor, the new member of the Magic Parliament, Hera's heart did not waver at all.
How much energy can a small congressman have?
Until I saw it with my own eyes.
That powerful magic that can change the world can even defeat monsters that are powerful enough to destroy an entire land.
And the user of that magic.
It was the man in front of me.
Victor.
Elegant and powerful.
He was only slightly injured at the start of the fight.
After that, instead of fighting fiercely for almost a whole day, he was never injured again.
Victor's voice still sounded calm.
"There is a big gap between you and me. You should know this better than me."
"Then why do you think you are worthy of me?"
Hera listened to Victor's words and remained silent.
It's like a sharp needle slowly piercing your heart.
What Victor said caused her deep distress.
She also has countless followers and even countless suitors.
In her own world of beasts, she prefers to call those people's behavior - courtship.
The weak follow the strong, and they also want to pursue Hera because of her power.
But Hera, just like Victor now, also rejected them.
The same reason is used.
"Are you worthy?"
Hera favored the stronger, and the weak were worthless in her eyes.
Now, his own courtship behavior has been met with the same rejection.
Because, here, she is the weak one.
Victor is strong.
A strong person does not have to compromise with a weak person, so Victor rejected her with the same reason, and Hera was speechless at all.
Because she is a beast, she must abide by the principles of the beast.
The weak eats the strong, and what the strong says is correct.
After saying that, Victor turned around and never looked back.
He looked up at the sky, a trace of white fluorescence flashing in his eyes.
The white formation that kept spinning under his feet gradually shrank, and magic stars like wings began to circle around the formation at Victor's feet.
The next second, the extremely huge white formation moved upwards, the gathered wings violently exploded outwards, and the formation completely dissipated.
With the whirling air current, Victor disappeared in place.
Only two long words echoed in the air:
"It seems that this cooperation is not going well, but your ambition is recognized by me."
"I will continue to wait for your news, see you next time."
All the adventurers gathered together, and they looked worriedly at Hera, who was standing there with her head lowered and her expression unclear.
"Boss..."
Soon, after hearing a call, Hera raised her head again and resumed her calm and elegant posture from the beginning.
Holding a fan, he covered his mouth and smiled lightly:
"It doesn't matter, it's just that I was rejected once."
To be honest, she was a little sad when she was rejected on her first courtship.
But it also made Hera understand some truth.
She took a step forward and stepped on the shallow puddle, splashing a few crystal drops of water.
Hera felt comfortable in the fresh air around her.
She slowly thought about the journey ahead and moved slowly deep into the woods with quiet steps.
That lonely back looks even more lonely under the sun.
She continued walking quietly, while the adventurers all continued to remain silent.
Suddenly, Hera stopped, turned around, looked at the fourth-level adventurers seriously, and looked up and down on them.
Hera shook her hand and opened the fan, completely covering her smiling face.
There was a bit of fanaticism in his eyes.
"I think our Beast Guild should make some changes."
As the words gradually fell, the adventurers seemed to have a feeling gradually rising from the bottom of their hearts.
They seemed to understand something.
Not only Hera thinks so, but adventurers who join the Beast Guild tend to advocate the behavioral thinking of beasts.
These fourth-level adventurers were more or less defeated at the hands of Hera, or they were simply impressed by Hera's power and were willing to become members of the guild.
And Victor's appearance also shocked their hearts.
[Beast] worships the strong and should follow the strong.
And now, Victor is the strong one.
"The recruitment of the Cravenna family will be an opportunity for our Beast Guild."
…
The thirtieth floor of the Monster Rift.
【Green Sky Path】
After passing through a huge door, they finally arrived at the end of the [Green Sky Path].
What appeared in front of everyone was an extremely vast open space.
The demihuman team entered here in an orderly manner, but their faces became extremely serious.
Everywhere is covered with decaying green vines and faint light.
As if feeling something.
A giant claw broke out from under the green earth, and then revealed its shriveled head.
Its eyes were dull and it struggled, stretching out half of its body.
The team was all on alert, and they could clearly feel that the monster that was about to appear had a very powerful aura.
Even Gwen drew out her sword blade, with a sharp look in her eyes, ready for battle.
Aurelion looked at the sluggish monster that was still struggling outwards, as if she recognized it, and said slowly:
"Found it, the end of the 30th floor."
"Floor Master——The Hidden Soul Demonic Corpse."
