Grim.

Too grim.

Peggy's mentor, Agrippina, was simply a ruthlessly sadistic person. The girls couldn't bear to see what became of those three demigods after they were tortured.

"You should just give them a quick end!" Red-haired Otto finally couldn't stand it anymore and intervened.

"A quick end?" Agrippina scoffed, "If it weren't for our rescue, do you think they would have been merciful to Peggy's companions if they had fallen into their hands?"

"Exactly, well said." The Enchanting Demon Queen chimed in with a smile.

"Ah." Red-haired Otto fell silent and turned away, unwilling to watch any longer.

Eleanor also turned away, her face filled with an expression of intolerance.

Seeing this, Aske gave Peggy a "you know what I mean" look.

So Peggy tried to persuade her master, mentioning that there were still many underage girls present, and that it might not look too good for her to be so ruthless.

Agrippina snorted coldly and said that when she was Peggy's age, she had already executed hundreds of defeated gladiators.

But, as Peggy was her most favored disciple, Agrippina took the three sealed demigods to a deserted mountain behind.

Moments later, a surge of mutant energy from a fallen demigod soared into the sky.

After dealing with the three doomed human demigods, everyone returned to Watch Town, splitting into two groups.

The Enchanting Demon Queen and Agrippina went to the bar and tossed the bodies of the three demigods to the bar owner, Lena.

"You've lost." The Enchanting Demon Queen smiled.

"Oh." Lena, who was wiping glasses, looked up at her expressionlessly and replied.

"You don't seem upset at all." Agrippina narrowed her eyes.

"Upset about three deadbeats who were freeloading in my bar all day? Why would I be?" Lena answered indifferently.

"So you had calculated that they would take such risks?" Agrippina was surprised.

"No, I really thought the people you were looking for wouldn't survive." Lena said.

"What if they had succeeded?" Agrippina asked, "What if they brought the bodies back?"

"Then you would have to call me 'senior'." Lena said to the Enchanting Demon Queen, "Either way, I don't lose."

"Hedging strategy." The Enchanting Demon Queen laughed heartily, "But it doesn't matter to me, since I won."

"Calling you 'senior' isn't really a loss of face." Lena placed the glass on the rack, then a sly smile appeared on her cold and pretty face, "After all, you are Coneopetra, a famous ruler from the Third Epoch who just solved a tavern problem for me. Shouldn't I express my gratitude and respect?"

"Ha ha ha ha, indeed, you're absolutely right." The Enchanting Demon Queen laughed joyfully.

Agrippina looked from the Enchanting Demon Queen to Lena, and her brow furrowed once again.

Meanwhile, at the Watch Town Observer base.

"Can't you reconsider?" the demigod Knight Captain Abel lamented.

"No, we plan to return to the Main Plane as soon as possible." Red-haired Otto declined gracefully.

The Observer invited them to stay and help guard Watch Town, but the demigods naturally refused. At their level, nothing but the connections of other demigods or some Divine Artifact Level extraordinary items could attract them.

Since the demigods were unwilling to stay, Aske certainly wasn't going to explore the Abyss alone. With the team's average level barely even reaching Lv.15, struggling on here was absurd.

Of course, more importantly, he had found a method to "accelerate the leveling up" of the team.

That is, a way for him to return ahead of time, which was the current priority.

After bidding farewell to the Observer organization, everyone regrouped and prepared to leave the Abyss and head back to the Main Plane.

————————————

After teleporting from the Abyss Gate to Solomon City, the demigods bid farewell to everyone and left.

Red-haired Otto returned to the Weisbach family in the Divine Luo Empire, Derek and Sherry went to Sicily to continue leading the guerrilla operations.

The Enchanting Demon Queen took Marquina to Lingbo City, starting preparations for returning to Purgatory.

Agrippina and Apilius left together, the latter helping the former inherit the legacy of the Pure Blood Monastery. After all, thanks to various acts of recklessness before, this hapless organization's demigods were almost extinct, giving Agrippina the perfect opportunity to take action.

The six demigods dispersed in the blink of an eye.

Arriving at the tech-savvy Solomon City, the Synthetic Human Kapei was immediately excited. At first, having listened to Aske's explanation, he thought that technology had declined to just gunpowder firearms, but it seemed that things weren't as bad as he feared.

Thus, Miel pulled out the parallel world's Kapei and transferred all the data to him, while Nora also made a phone call and informed the Valian Bishop about this.

The Church Court took the "Prehistoric Era" synthetic human scientist very seriously and quickly arranged for the Pope's Guard to come and take Kapei away.

"Now that the Squad Leader and the others have returned safely from the Abyss, why don't we go out for a meal?" Nora clapped her hands and suggested after Kapei had left.

Since the hostess Nora was treating, naturally, everyone gladly accepted, and half an hour later, they arrived at a nearby upscale café.

After ordering cakes and drinks, they began to ask about the details of life in the Abyss. Primarily, because the presence of demigods at that time made it difficult to ask too many questions, they now inquired without any inhibitions.

Questions like "What did you eat?" "What did you drink?" "Where did you sleep?" "How did you sleep?" "In what position did you sleep?" "Who did you sleep with?" and so on and so forth.

"Hold on, hold on." Aske was at a loss for words, "Haven't I already told you? We slept on the dining hall floor of the Research Institute, each with our own mattress."

"While we were away these few nights, didn't anyone do this or that to you?" Medea suspiciously asked, her gaze wandering over the blushing faces of Miel and Mia.

"What do you mean by this or that? Medea, explain yourself!" Aske burst out angrily.

"I mean..." Medea suddenly uttered ahh.

It was fine for Miel to blush; being a half-elf girl, she always had thin skin, but Mia, why are you blushing too?

She was about to use Mind Reading when Miel grabbed Mia's hand and firmly blocked Medea's mind-reading using the Eden Fruit.

There was definitely something wrong! Medea too burst out in anger, her gaze towards Aske turning hostile.

Aske quickly used his ancestral Topic Shifting Technique and said:

"Right, during this journey to the Abyss, I suddenly discovered a method that can quickly improve everyone's Level Promotion speed."

"Quickly become stronger?" The girls immediately perked up.

"I've named this method the 'Future Experience Retrospective Acceleration Comprehension Plan'," Aske dipped his finger in water and wrote a line of words on the tabletop.

"It's simply called the 'Acceleration Plan'."
