Chapter 247-17: The Current Situation of the Demon Lord

When the two patrolmen arrived at the Colosseum in fear, the battle was already over.

Brand, his body covered in blood, walked out of the exit of the Colosseum under the awe-inspiring gazes of some tourists who had the courage to stay where they were. His calm demeanor looked like that of a local who was about to go home to cook.

He looked thoughtful, as if he had something on his mind, and no one knew whether the two-headed monster had been killed or escaped. Anyway, the two patrolmen didn't dare to go in and check directly, and had to wait until the reinforcements arrived.

"Gentlemen, this is my passport, but I came here in a hurry and haven't registered it yet." Brand took out his passport calmly and handed it to the two patrolmen.

The patrolman was speechless. How could they dare to check your passport?

"Hehe, these are not any problems. Did we deal with the monster just now?" The old patrolman was more concerned about this and asked in accented English.

Brand put on his priest robe again, with the angel's severed arm tied tightly with cloth on his back.

"Lev is a cunning guy. I have been tracking him all the way from the Baltic Sea. After several encounters, he always leaves room for maneuvers. I suspect there is another demon of the same level who is secretly assisting him."

"Uh, wow, this is really..." I don't understand. The words are not difficult, but when put together, they sound like some foreign language. "Then, how can we help?"

"If possible, please help me book a hotel and a flight to Mo City tomorrow morning."

Motown.

Jennifer finally returned to this old place after several years.

The Red Square where the great battle took place has been restored, but an area has been set aside to preserve its original appearance. Two monuments have been erected on the broken and blood-stained ground to commemorate the heroes who died there.

There is some space between the two, which looks a bit like a door.

The tour guide next to them was loudly telling the tourists from the East about the great battle, with his hands and feet gesticulating. But after listening for a while, Jennifer was stunned to find that there was no legend of her own left. All the character arcs were piled on Ye Jie, and titles such as goddess, saint, and angel incarnation were added to him without any cost.

".See? The goddess is now in seclusion in the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in the Kremlin. Although we cannot see her, there is a statue of her on the Saint's Pond in the square of the cathedral."

Obviously there is also mine!

Jennifer remembered it very clearly. Although the holy water pool had not been built when she left Mo City, Ye Jie had sent her the design drawing. The statue adopted a group portrait technique, and she also had her own style!

What a crappy tour guide, he didn't even read the complete information.

The tour guide felt a chill on his back and interrupted his conversation. He couldn't help but look around, but didn't find anything unusual.

Jennifer walked into the Kremlin first. As soon as she entered, she saw the church square. The one in the middle surrounded by circles of people was the Holy Virgin Pool.

Some devout believers believe that the power of prayer can strengthen the seal on the Demon Lord, so they spend a lot of time every day coming here to pray devoutly, the kind that cannot be driven away.

Finally, it was the Patriarch who stepped in and set a fixed prayer time.

"My position is quite obvious." Jennifer nodded with satisfaction. Her image in the statue was that of a nun, wearing the uniform of the time, with her hands half-floating in the air in a praying position.

Of course, she couldn't reach Ye Jie. There was an angel statue behind her, like a substitute or a personality mask.

After admiring it for a while, she walked straight towards the church.

"Excuse me, is this Sister Jennifer?"

Jennifer was not used to the awkward title of Sister. She looked at the nun in front of her who looked a little nervous. She thought she was the one sent by Ye Jie to pick her up.

"Did Ye Jie ask you to come?"

"Yes, Lady Jennifer, the Saint said you would arrive today and asked me to take you to her living room."

Jennifer nodded: "Then lead the way."

The nun took Jennifer out of the church and walked towards the Kremlin.

"The Saint usually stays in the Dake Palace on weekdays and only comes to the church during prayer time."

Jennifer didn't feel anything about this. By the way, she seemed to have forgotten to pray this month. What a sin! She would make up for it tonight.

God should not make things difficult for a little nun like her for such a small matter.

She felt that as long as she kept on fighting demons and defending the Way, she would still be a good nun and a qualified successor to the Paladin. After all, Owen hadn't seen any special prayer time at the beginning.

"Lady Saint, Sister Jennifer is here."

In a luxurious living room of the Dake Palace, Ye Jie sat at the tea table, seemingly staring at the sky in a daze. It was not until two people came in that she came back to her senses and looked at Jennifer.

"Well, hard work."

The nun said goodbye and left, closing the door behind her.

"Long time no see, Sister Jennifer." Ye Jie smiled sincerely, and his white hair seemed to be covered with a layer of holy light in the sunlight.

"It's been a while since we last met. Let me take a look. Hmm, you seem to have gained some weight? You must be living a pretty good life." Jennifer leaned in and took a closer look at Ye Jie's face.

Ye Jie shook his head helplessly: "Every day I just practice, pray, and check the situation of the Holy Pond to understand the changes in the world. Unlike my sister, I can run around the world."

"Hehe, I'm not running around. I'm assessing risks. Look, this is the world demon risk assessment map I made." In order to prove that she was not wandering around, Jennifer actually prepared a map and spread it out for Ye Jie to see.

Ye Jie snickered: "Isn't this the extraordinary disaster risk map that can be downloaded everywhere on the Internet? Do you still think of me as the Ye Jie who couldn't even find all the information a few years ago?"

"It's a little different." Jennifer smiled awkwardly and pointed to Tokyo, Japan, which was in great red. "You see, Japan is usually marked as high-risk, but I went there last year and found that only the Tokyo metropolitan area was dangerous. Other places were quite safe. I stayed there for a few months and didn't see any so-called polluters. Then I met two on the first day in Tokyo."

"I heard that when you came back, you cooperated with Abdul in Gaul to eliminate a group of remnants of the Demon Lord?" Ye Jie changed the subject.

"Yeah, I didn't expect them to revive so soon. It seems that the blow I dealt to them when I traveled to Europe was not deep enough."

Jennifer put away the map and didn't care too much. After losing the leader, the Demon Lord, the remnants seemed to have weakened a lot in strength. At least she could chase after Lev Hammer, who was slightly stronger than her.

"Don't worry too much. Brand has also come out of confinement and is hunting them all over Europe."

Ye Jie had met Brand before, at the second anti-demon joint meeting, which was also the only time she left Mo City.

"Speaking of which, do you know what the important matter mentioned in the third joint meeting called by the Supreme Saint is?" The notice Jennifer received was rather vague and was forwarded to her by the Holy See. After all, she did not give her contact information to many outsiders because she did not want to be disturbed while traveling around the world.

"I know something about the moon and the evil hidden under the Tokyo Soul Society."

"It can't be another demon lord." Jennifer lamented.

"Probably not. Judging from the situation, he may be more threatening than the Demon Lord." Ye Jie told the truth.

"." Jennifer was speechless. She thought she had made some progress in the past few years, but every time she thought of the scene when she faced the terrifying existence of the Demon Lord, the feeling of powerlessness that was completely beyond her ability made her breath difficult and nervous, as if she had a psychological trauma.

Hearing Jennifer's complaint, Ye Jie hesitated to speak.

"Maybe I can help you overcome this problem?" she finally said.

Jennifer perked up when she heard this: "How do I overcome this? Are you going to bless me with holy water?"

Ye Jie shook his head helplessly: "It's difficult to accumulate holy water. There isn't much of it now. We may have to deal with the situation in Tokyo later. We can't abuse the method I mentioned. It's a more direct method, but we need to wait until night."

"night?"

"Ah."

That night.

The Kremlin had been closed, and only Ye Jie and Jennifer were standing by the holy water font in the center of the church square.

"Why does it feel like your body is glowing even at night? Does your shampoo contain fluorescent agent?" Jennifer said half-jokingly.

Ye Jie shook her head. She didn’t know either, but she subconsciously looked up at the moon.

"Sister, are those two moons you see?" Ye Jie suddenly asked.

"Huh? Yes, two wheels." Jennifer looked up and quickly lowered it again.

“But all I saw was one round.”

"Hmm? Are you the Moon Initiator? I heard that Moon Initiators can only see one moon."

"No, I'm sure it's not." Ye Jie knew that she was not a moon-enlightener, but she just felt that the moon in the sky had some vague connection with her, as if... it was related to the teacher?

"That's strange. Except for the Mother Goddess Unification and the Moon Initiator, all the extraordinary people should see two moons. I just don't know what these two moons mean. They have been hanging there for several years." There are many people studying the moon, and Jennifer feels that she doesn't need to worry about it.

Putting aside all the messy associations, Ye Jie raised his hand towards the holy water pool, and then the statue above began to change. The left hand of the statue representing Ye Jie slowly showed traces of the holy water bottle.

As Ye Jie hooked his finger, the holy water bottle automatically flew towards her and fell into her hand.

Seeing that Ye Jie was about to open it, Jennifer hurriedly stopped him: "No, no! Ye Jie, do you think that the best way for me to overcome my fear is to let me face it directly?!"

She wasn't really going to release the Demon Lord, was she? Was she so confident that nothing would happen? If something did happen, wouldn't she be a sinner?

Ye Jie smiled to reassure her: "You may not know that the Demon Lord is indeed no longer a threat."

With a crisp sound, the holy water bottle was opened.

Jennifer immediately perked up, took off the cross necklace, and the lightsaber appeared.

I saw a thick, unsettling black smoke slowly flowing out of the holy water bottle, bringing with it waves of chills that penetrated into the bone marrow. It turned into a puddle and fell to the ground, like a lump of black mud. Even the water in the pool next to it seemed to become difficult to flow for a moment.

Finally, the black fog condensed and a figure gradually emerged.

Well.
Whose big black dog is this?

Jennifer blinked twice at Ye Jie, not quite understanding what was going on.

"My Lady Goddess! Oh! I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are still so beautiful, the best in the three realms, and your temperament is like a secluded orchid in a valley, neither turbid nor coquettish, yet intoxicating. I feel ashamed of myself and shed tears at the sight of you. It can really be said that—"

The black dog stuck out its tongue and started barking at the other dog.

Ye Jie's eyes looked somewhat helpless.

"This is the Demon Lord."

what!

Are you telling me this is the arrogant demon lord who caused chaos in the Northern Alliance a few years ago? Are you sure it's not someone's pug that has turned into a spirit?

"Hey, do you still recognize me?"

Although Jennifer felt that Ye Jie would not lie to her, it was still difficult for her to accept such a strange reality for a while.

The black dog stopped talking, narrowed his eyes, faced Jennifer, looked at her carefully, sniffed her, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Oh! This beautiful lady, of course, I have definitely seen you before, but it must have been your extremely sacred aura at the time that made me dare not look closely, blah blah."

Come on, you're talking nonsense.

"Is this guy doing that?" Jennifer circled her index finger around her head twice.

Ye Jie shook his head: "She's just scared."

"Afraid? What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid the Lord will come after him."

Jennifer recalled the Demon Lord's words at the time: "I remember, she kept saying that the Lord had died and the gods were gone—"

"No!! Nonsense! I absolutely did not say that! This - this beautiful, noble and elegant lady, please don't slander a poor little dog." The black dog was frightened by Jennifer's words and tried his best to interrupt her. His four legs kept shaking, his tail was tightly clamped, and his eyes looked towards the horizon vaguely, and then quickly drooped down.

Well, Ye Jie is indeed a miracle doctor. After Jennifer saw the Demon Lord like this, her previous psychological trauma disappeared in an instant and no longer existed.

What kind of demon lord? Is that it?

Once you kick it, I'm sure everyone will say "good job" to you.

"Hehe, do you know that your remnants have been causing trouble in Europe and have killed so many of the Lord's believers?" Jennifer changed her expression and threatened fiercely.

The corner of the demon lord's mouth twitched. Damn it, it's really a god-like city. If my godhood was still there, uh, it seems that I wouldn't dare to do anything. Otherwise, Artemis in the sky who had one eye dug out is her role model.
"Before I was put into the Holy Water Bottle, the last order I gave them was to find an opportunity to rescue me. However, after I entered the Holy Water Bottle, my connection with them was completely severed, and I no longer have the ability to control them." The Demon Lord said helplessly.

"Does that mean we can only clean the entire Europa like we clean out cockroaches?" Jennifer looked unhappy.

"Well, maybe, let me come out and recover my strength for a while, then I can try to contact them." The Demon Lord suggested cautiously.

Ye Jie refused decisively: "You have not yet paid for the sins you have committed, and we don't trust you."

The black dog seemed to want to say something but hesitated, unable to respond.
