Abyss's top layer, Watch Town, the Observer organization.

"We have already received instructions from headquarters and will send out two rescue teams to search for your companions," said the demigod Knight Captain Abel, revealing a troubled expression in response to the requests of several demigods, "I'm sorry, but we cannot dispatch more personnel."

"Two rescue teams are far too few," Apilius frowned as he spoke, "To find someone in the Abyss, if it's a rescue team of five, we would need groups on a scale of at least a hundred."

"The recent Abyss is unstable. The war between the cave dwellers and the Dark Elves continues, and there has been activity among both the Banshee and Poison Lizard populations. Just this morning, I heard that a Shadow Demon Lord attacked the lower parts of the Dark Elf Empire, causing all the demigods of the Thirteen Clans to take action."

Abel declined with a polite tone that was tinged with misery, "In this chaotic wartime situation, we must maintain a large number of hands to protect Watch Town. Behind us lies the human world, and Watch Town absolutely cannot fall. Please understand."

The demigods found it hard to say anything in response to the other party's polite and pitiful attitude. Seeing the others hesitate, Abel then said:

"How about this? Currently, there are about a dozen or so exploration teams active outside, I'll send them a message first; if they find any related clues out there, they will come back and inform all of you immediately. Before then, please rest here in town for a while, how does that sound?"

"There's no need," the Enchanting Demon Queen said with a smile, "Since you are unwilling to dispatch people, there's no benefit in us staying any longer, we might as well go down and search for them ourselves."

"Ah, the environment in the Abyss is intricate and complex, with many branching paths, and it's very easy to get lost without familiarity," Abel tried one last effort, "Actually, our people would be able to search faster..."

"Then can the Knight Captain send more personnel?" the Enchanting Demon Queen asked charmingly, "A few dozen exploration teams won't satisfy our needs."

Abel: ......

After leaving the Observer organization, Medea sneered:

"Those knights are truly shameless, unwilling to send people to help us find our Squad Leader, yet they want the senior demigods to stay here and defend Watch Town. Do they think we're fools?"

"I know Abel; he's quite an honest person," said Red-haired Otto, "If he says he can't spare the manpower, then it's probably true that he can't. It seems that the recent turmoil in the Abyss is more serious than we thought."

"Turmoil... Is it dangerous?" Nora asked softly, her anxious concern evident.

"There are probably over sixty human demigods in Watch Town," Apilius said, "Going down from the top layer is the Mushroom Forest, where the half-gods of the cave dweller tribal alliance number over eighty. Further down in the Deep Sea, the Dark Elf Clan's demigods are said to exceed 120, not to mention the demigod-level extraordinary creatures lurking in the Big Cave at the very bottom, which outnumber the intelligent races by more than tenfold."

"After all, humans in the Abyss are merely the weakest force. If it weren't for controlling the safest top layer of the Abyss, coupled with resource support from the Main Plane, we would probably have trouble even standing our ground."

"So where might Aske and Miel have ended up?" Sherry asked gravely.

"It should be the Big Cave," Red-haired Otto said.

"Yes, indeed," Apilius agreed, "If we're talking about the location with the lowest spatial potential, it should be the Big Cave."

Everyone fell silent.

From the top to the bottom of the Abyss, the number of Demigod Level enemies only increased, and as a result, Mia, Miel, and Aske ended up dropping right into the most dangerous bottom layer. What should they do?

"Even so, aside from killing our way down, I'm afraid we don't have any other choice," Agrippina chuckled coldly.

"That's right," the Enchanting Demon Queen said with a smile. "And I need to remind you all."

"Though it may sound like the number of Alien Race Demigods in the Abyss far exceeds that of humans, they are actually full of disagreements, incapable of forming effective alliances. The most obvious evidence is that, to date, no state-level political organization has emerged from the Abyss."

"Due to the overwhelming military power of the Demigods themselves, they don't need to establish a tightly-knit and effective political order to easily form their own forces. These forces revolve around the Demigods themselves, and no one can replace them unless they kill the Demigod directly."

"For this reason, unless a Level 40 True God emerges, it's virtually impossible to massively integrate the forces of the Abyss. This has led to their political organization being extremely backward, one could even say far behind the Main Plane, which is the price they pay for overly relying on Extraordinary Power."

"Do you mean we should use the advantage of having more Demigods on our side to beat them with a time difference?" Red-haired Otto asked in surprise.

"Exactly," the Enchanting Demon Queen replied with a smile. "Our team has six Demigods. To swallow up our group, they would have to gather even more Demigods than us."

"However, as I've said before, the lack of an effective political organization within the Abyssal forces means that, although there are many Demigods, it's difficult to effectively organize them to besiege us. Who will lead the charge? How will benefits be distributed? Is the intelligence reliable? The key issue is, even if you believe there are no problems, how can you be sure other Demigods think the same way?"

"Chains of mistrust," Thira said.

"Exactly," the Enchanting Demon Queen snapped her fingers. "In our human world, we eliminate most chains of mistrust between individuals through laws, the apparatus of violence, and public order and good customs, enabling the vast majority of individuals to form a precise national machine."

"But in the Abyss, there's no law, no public order and good customs, only individual acts of violence with vast disparities. This violence destroys the foundation for any order to develop, and that's their characteristic as well as their weakness."

The girls of The Azure Longsword pondered, while the other Demigods nodded and admired.

"Deserving of the title, Enchanting Demon Queen, a single strategy has accurately struck the critical point."

"Indeed, with so many Alien Race Demigods, if even one-tenth of them united, Watch Town would have fallen to humans long ago."

Medea, listening on the side, speechlessly asked Marquina:

"So is Purgatory Plane really like what she's described? Is she just applying the situation of the Purgatory Plane directly to the Abyss Plane?"

"Sigh, all three major planes are the same anyway, never unified and very chaotic," Marquina also replied quietly. "Although Your Majesty is just speculating, it's more or less in line with the truth. Besides, these Demigods aren't truly flattering Your Majesty."

"You mean…" Medea's eyes shifted.

"We've been operating in the Purgatory Plane for a long time, and these Demigods will one day have to choose one of the three planes to retire in, don't you see?" Marquina said with a light laugh.

"I see," Medea sneered subtly.

Isn't it just about using the relationship between us younger ones as a pretext to network and make connections with each other? What's not to understand about that? If it weren't for that factor, how could we have engaged the likes of your esteemed family elders?
