Chapter 197 Star Spirit Queen
Reji actually felt a bit of regret.
Previously, he was mainly a bit emotionally stirred by that "truth" footage of the evil god from a thousand years ago.
Now, thinking back calmly, he should have let the Crown Prince choose a different way to kill himself. Otherwise, with the corpse reduced to a pile of ashes, he couldn\'t even use "Dialogue with the Dead".
Fortunately, besides the Crown Prince, there was another existence here who should know a lot about the "past history".
"Excellent, human. You did it. You successfully killed that... tyrant."
"Now... come, bring the relics to my side."
"You will receive... the rewards that belongs to you."
"I will fulfill your every... desire."

After the Crown Prince\'s death, the one who reacted the most was not anyone else, but the Star Spirit Queen who had been secretly "contacting" Reji.
The Crown Prince had said before that only the evil god could unleash the power of the relics.
And for him, as a "mortal", to borrow a small portion of it, he could only rely on external assistance. That was why the Emperor had bestowed the Star Spirit Queen upon him to use as a power source.
At this moment, the Star Spirit Queen\'s voice sounded very excited and agitated, as if she had been imprisoned for a long time and finally had a chance to break free.
Without the suppression of the Crown Prince, her voice seemed to have become much clearer.
It was not difficult to hear that the Star Spirit Queen\'s tone was urgent, as if urging Reji to quickly bring the relics to see her restrained main body. It seemed that only in this way could she be completely freed.
Reji didn\'t find it troublesome either.
After all, he had already promised that high-level star spirit from the underground of the Syndicate in front of the Sword of Oath to properly rescue their queen.
The location of the Star Spirit Queen was in the deepest part of the Hall of Heroes.
Reji went around several turns and descended floor after floor down the stairs before finally arriving at a ritual room that resembled an altar.
Here, Reji could see at a glance that in the center of the altar, bound by several chains, a woman was forced to kneel.
This Star Spirit Queen seemed to be very fond of human form.
Now, her clothes were half-covered and half-exposed, looking very disheveled. Moreover, with her hands chained and raised on both sides, it formed a very humble and embarrassing posture.
However, after the transformation of the high-level star spirit, her beautiful face, the elegant curves of her body under the golden ratio, and the starry skin exposed under her clothes, as if shining brilliantly, all highlighted her noble status.
On one hand, she was destitute, and on the other hand, she was noble. The combination of the two inevitably aroused pity and sympathy. Any hero would want to rush to rescue this troubled and suffering Star Spirit Queen.
The Star Spirit Queen, who had her head lowered and eyes closed on the altar, seemed to have also sensed the arrival of Reji.
Her long, beautiful eyelashes began to tremble, and she finally opened her eyes. Those deep and brilliant star-like eyes looked at Reji with infinite expectation and encouragement.
"Place the relic into my chest."
"The seal can be... lifted."
"...My child, come closer. All glory belongs to you~..."
The star spirit\'s voice was clear and pleasant.
Seeing Reji holding the Banner of Command and walking towards her step by step, the body of the queen, who was half-kneeling on the altar, seemed to be trembling slightly, as if enduring some great pleasure.
And as Reji finally stopped in front of her, only a few inches away, the Star Spirit Queen, sensing that unmistakable aura of the hero from the Crown Prince\'s relic banner, seemed unable to hold back any longer.
"Quickly, put it in... Put it in..."
"Human... What are you waiting for... Give it to me, give it to me!!"
The image of the imprisoned, pitiful, and delicate starry beauty disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Instead, the chains that bound the queen were easily broken by her.
The pitiful, weak appearance disappeared from the queen\'s face. Now, what replaced it was an incredibly distorted, crazy look, with her features crowded together on her originally beautiful and cold face.
Faced with the queen, who had her hair down and had suddenly changed from a starry beauty to a crazy-looking woman, Reji was not very surprised, let alone resisting.
He even took the initiative to throw out the banner, just like throwing a frisbee to a puppy.
The Star Spirit Queen, who had originally risen to attack Reji, immediately changed direction and pounced towards the position of the relic Banner thrown by Reji like a hungry wolf.
Only after truly getting the banner in her hands did the Star Spirit Queen\'s hands tremble. She took several deep breaths of the relic, and then without hesitation, immediately inserted the banner into her chest.
"Ugh, ahh, ugh..."
After a brief painful moan, the Star Spirit Queen\'s body devoured the banner.
Her face became rosy red, and she was incredibly satisfied, as if she had been reborn. The expression on her face reached a new peak, full of intoxication, as if she had entered some kind of extreme paradise and had reached a spiritual high point.
"Finally... Finally, I have obtained it... The hero\'s relic... The hero\'s power... This wonderful feeling of connection is so great... It is the key to Him.
It can allow me to ascend to godhood and become a true... Star God!!"
"Hehe... He... It\'s been too long... I\'ve waited too long for this day... Do you know how much torture I suffered from that damn human?"
"But it doesn\'t matter... Hehe, that foolish human never would have thought... When he was using me to control the relics... How could he not be helping me... Witness the power of the relics..."
"So I used the relics to influence him... Subtly giving him constant suggestions. And the result, the result..."
"Hahaha."
"Hahahahaha!"
The Star Spirit Queen laughed out loud.
She was like someone who had endured and held back for too long and now had to vent it out. She wanted others to know about her efforts. She needed an audience.
"As a result, that foolish human really believed it to be true. He thought the hero was the evil god and even called himself a follower of the evil god. Haha, hahaha!"
"I successfully induced him to betray the Emperor. Watching him gradually lift the Emperor\'s initial restrictions on me in order to use the relics, and even turn around to transmit magical power to me to help me grow, so that he could control more of the relics\' power."
"But a lowly human like him, if it weren\'t for that Emperor\'s mark preventing me from truly harming him, he would have been tortured to death countless times by me long ago!"
The queen gritted her teeth. It could be seen that in order to endure and seize this relic, she had really paid a lot of humiliation.
After venting, the queen turned her gaze to Reji. She stared at this human with a smile, not as if looking at a person, but rather as if looking at food. She even licked her lips with her tongue.
"Hero... Tsk, how tragic. You saved your kind from the hands of the demons and spared the world from disaster, but in the end, you were betrayed and even shouldered the eternal curse of being called the \'Evil God\'. But it doesn\'t matter. As a reward for you rescuing me, I said I would fulfill your every request."
"I will help you take revenge on humans. I will help you pull the Emperor down from her throne. Of course, you only need to pay a small price. For example, join me and merge with me. The relics are His reward, and only you can use them most perfectly. Come, my child, let us connect with each other.
Let us... ascend to Him together!"
The Star Spirit Queen reached out her hand to Reji.
She looked at Reji with a hungry and thirsty gaze.
