The Girls Are All Coveting Me

"Brother, let's find a time to do it, the combat power isn't enough."

Abigail's words made Chloe a bit silent.

But he still nodded.

Right now, her power is already insufficient to deal with the current crisis. Enhancing her power as soon as possible, reaching the same level as him, is the right thing to do.

It's just...

"In such a tense situation, the two of us going out alone feels a bit peculiar."

It's not that he has some sort of mental hygiene that makes him unable to accept this kind of thing.

Just imagine, everyone is facing the danger of losing their heads, and at this moment, someone jumps out and tells his companion:

"Hey, buddies, I'm taking my lover to find a cave to make little people, once we've made enough, we'll be safer."

You see if the buddies are willing to believe him.

People will only think he's addicted to the thrill, wanting to enjoy one last moment before death.

——The problem is Chloe himself doesn't mind, which makes it even more awkward.

Thinking of this, Ke lifted his head, looked at Tiffany in front, and said:

"Swordswoman, our only choice is to continue deeper into the lower layers."

Aisha seemed puzzled and said, "Can't we wait for support?"

Chloe shook his head and said, "We can't wait, their action speed is too fast."

"Is there no way to use means like space transport?"

"Don't think about it. If we could directly use space transport to escape, I would have done so long ago." Tiffany said helplessly, "At first, it was because of being chased by the necromancer, unable to even create the chance for space transport, and later blocked by the saint at the gate, unable to get out."

Miseria sighed and said, "It's probably because of the special characteristics of the Abyss of Woe itself."

Lilith nodded and said, "Currently, the maze creatures living in the Abyss of Woe actually have quite a few that possess spatial transport ability, but none can escape the maze."

"Huh? No wonder I've never heard of maze creatures leaving the Land of Lawlessness over the years."

Lilith smiled wryly and said, "If you simply understand the Abyss of Woe as a cylindrical column plunging underground, the inner side of the column is equivalent to an isolating wall between the Abyss of Woe and the outside world.

Space transport, in essence, is drawing two points on the top and bottom of a white sheet, then folding the paper to make the points coincide with each other.

The folded space shortens the distance so much that with just a breath, you can arrive, which is the essence of transport.

But no known power on the Stars Continent can break the wall's constraints in the Abyss of Woe, because the wall was made by the continent's strongest, who used supreme power with permission from the stars."

Lilith silently recited to herself: [And the maker was my father.]

"In other words... normally, when space folds, the start and endpoint can instantly connect, but due to the strongest's influence, even if space is folded, there's an invincible wall in between?"

Aisha pondered, "So even with space ability, it's impossible to break through the maze from the side?"

Lilith nodded.

Miseria added, "So, in fact, the only opportunities left for the maze creatures are two: one is to keep moving upwards, fighting to the first level, and making a breakthrough to the Land of Lawlessness."

Aisha shook her head and said, "The Land of Lawlessness imprisons the continent's most dangerous criminals, their power is sufficient to shake the foundation of a nation,

The maze creatures in the Abyss of Woe, even if they band together, may not be able to eliminate them, let alone these maze creatures can't possibly band together."

However, Laura spoke up and said, "No, even if they did really band together and eliminate, the madmen in the Land of Lawlessness are of no use."

"Hmm?"

"According to the records, the wall not only exists on the inner side of the cylinder, but also has a layer of 'membrane' similar to a sieve at the top."

"A sieve?"

"Yes, the branded criminals and maze monsters can't pass through the sieve, but those mysterious associations granted permission by various countries can freely go through the sieve."

"Isn't that to say, these maze monsters are truly trapped with no way to the heavens, and no way to the earth?"

Lilith smiled and said, "On one side are maze monsters trying to invade the stars, and on the other are notorious criminal maniacs recognized by the outside world, neither side is a good thing, letting them dog-eat-dog is right."

"It's just unexpected that the structure originally meant to trap maze creatures now traps us." Tiffany sighed and said, "After that necromancer summoned the Saint Bone Dragon at the cost of self-sacrifice, we lost even the chance to move up."

Princess Swordswoman quietly glanced at Chloe, who looked calm, and said, "Actually, you already felt it, didn't you?"

Chloe nodded and said, "Yes, that saint deliberately disrupted the 20th layer's space. With such turbulent space, our attempt to transport out could be swept into the depths of darkness by spatial turbulence."

"Yes, and this guy is constantly gathering power, continuously pushing the scope of turbulent space towards the lower layers."

"It's intentional, to make us unable to escape, and compress our living environment. It's starting to get anxious." Chloe said, "Because our people were transported out."

Transporting people is not important, but leaking the news, letting the outside world know of the Saint Bone Dragon's massacre attempt, is very important.

Chloe understood why when he was preparing to transport the students away, he was suddenly attacked by the White Bone Dragon Lord.

Fortunately, Tiffany was playing hide and seek with the opponent at the time, and the principal was still keeping an eye on the Town Recall Scroll, lending a hand, otherwise, who knows how many students would have been unlucky.

"Let's go deeper underground. The time left for that saint is not much, in order to force us out, it will surely rapidly push the layer of spatial turbulence towards deeper levels.

Since it likes to play so much, let's go directly to the target location."

Tiffany glanced strangely at the few people and then said, "We can't survive long, with our current setup, at best, we can run to layer forty, Sequence seven is still too weak."

However, to Tiffany's surprise, apart from Laura and Teresa, who were still shaken, the others didn't seem to have many concerns.

[Still have a trump card?]

Tiffany was very surprised.

She knew better than anyone how remarkable it was to reach Sequence Seven at this age.

She became a demigod at a young age, not because of her own talent.

But rather, a senior of this generation happened to pass away, leaving behind peak demigod-class demon blood, which was given to her to refine.

Such a resource might not appear once in a thousand years.

Therefore, Tiffany never thought her current strength was higher than others', nor that her talent was far superior to theirs.

Quite the opposite.

She felt that everyone present had a promising future.

—Which means their current lack of combat power was also a fact.

Yet, the calm everyone displayed left them surprised.

And... that woman.

Tiffany quietly glanced at the silent Heisha.

The methods of this teacher were truly astonishing.

After pondering for a moment, she said, "Could it be Ms. Heisha with the Ethereal Emblem?"

Heisha looked up and nodded.

Tiffany realized, "No wonder you're so strong; you can take a Saint's attack without being wounded. That's the legendary Sea of Spirit Fusion."

Heisha chuckled, "Your level is higher than mine, how did I become a legend?"

Tiffany spread her hands and said, "You're joking. You haven't advanced to demigod, you're deliberately suppressing your upgrade. I'm now a demigod, having given everything to reach demigod level."

Heisha didn't speak, just looked at Chloe and said, "Looks like you kid have a plan?"

"Yes, Master Heisha, we need to quickly enter the 35th, 36th, 37th, and 39th floors, and then we must proceed to the 45th floor as fast as possible afterward."

"Not that fast; after the 37th floor, even I can't keep you well protected," Heisha frowned, "What are you planning? Why so reckless?"

"No protection needed," Chloe said calmly, "After the 37th floor, our combat power will surge."

"Oh?"

"Trust me."

Laura and the others who still didn't understand the situation looked at each other in confusion.

Heisha pinched her brow and said, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

At this moment, the previously silent Teresa suddenly spoke, "Master Heisha, do you have extra Star Realm Armor?"

"I do, why?"

After hesitating for a long time, Teresa finally forced herself to say, "Can you perform surgery on me to implant the Star Realm Armor? That way, I might not hold you back afterward."

Chloe frowned and turned to Teresa, "Nonsense, you really want that surgery."

Teresa gritted her teeth and said, "But if I don't, I'll truly be a burden. Rather than that, you might as well leave me on this floor and go down yourself. I don't want to be a hindrance."

Chloe looked at the young lady biting her silver teeth, knowing that she came with a plan fully aware of the risks.

Chloe took a deep breath and looked at Master Heisha, "Do it for her. I'm also preparing the Star Element and high-level Demon Eye surgery."

Heisha frowned and looked at her niece, "It's not necessary; the toxic body isn't that easy to form, and you'll be backfired afterward."

"Being backfired is better than dying here, aunt. Do you think you can always protect me in such a dangerous environment?"

Teresa's voice carried a note of pleading.

Heisha didn't think for long before sighing, "Alright, the situation is urgent, do what you want."

...

Teresa had always been a stubborn young lady.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have known the gap of a year level between herself and Fufu and still desperately wanted to catch up with the little genius of the Shadow Stabbing System.

However, stubbornness and persistence cannot defy the objective laws.

Faced with absolute talent suppression, the proud young lady suddenly realized that her past pride seemed somewhat insignificant.

Especially after entering the Maze, she felt a deep sense of defeat.

She was born into a noble family accustomed to researching forbidden techniques, and what she yearned for the most was to soar like her aunt, leaving behind this oppressive and somewhat hopeless supernatural environment.

It's not that she truly hated her family.

What she hated was merely their use of any means necessary to advance forbidden techniques.
