However, the situation is more severe than Chloe imagined.
The Sword Hero Rephya.
The Magic Hero Fufu and Nini.
The Second Generation World Tree Abigail and Annie.
The Red Moon Goddess Lilith.
Oh no... Why are there so many goddesses?
Then what's Aisha's situation?
Surely, Aisha herself doesn't have any issues, right?
Haha, impossible, absolutely impossible.
But what if?
Chloe felt as if his face darkened.
If it really is that thing, then who was Aisha who could sit at the same table with these freaks?
"Ah, it would be better to just kill me!"
Chloe let out a cry of agony.
Never has there been a moment he felt that dating girls was such a dangerous thing.
Could it be he'd end up as [Five-fold Chloe]?
Not that kind of thing, please!
He doesn't want to be brought to the sea while being held by the head!
No way.
The more he thought, the more his head hurt.
Thinking of this, Chloe decided to go out and take a breath.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Miseria.
"Phew, thank goodness, it's just Miseria!"
Miseria: ???
For some reason, she felt like swearing.
What do you mean "it's just Miseria"?
What does that relieved expression mean?
For some reason, Miseria felt deeply humiliated.
What does that "Ah, finally safe" expression mean?
Miseria was genuinely flushed.
"Junior, you're so annoying."
Chloe awkwardly smiled and said, "Sorry, senior, it's just that I've been encountering some troubles lately."
"What trouble? Getting too many romantic debts, huh."
Miseria rolled her eyes with displeasure.
She saw this junior having charm, probably causing trouble with girls often.
Like a certain lazy club president, the adorable little Xiaolu, the gentle and generous Fufu...
Tsk tsk tsk.
Quite a collection of romantic debts, can't even count them.
But as she thought about it, her own face fell.
Who was she to laugh at?
Was she any better?
Hadn't she also accidentally given away her first kiss?
Thinking of this made her gnash her teeth.
Who would have thought that recording a Fantasy Show, she'd end up losing her first kiss?
Thinking about it, she felt like dying.
Not only did she give it away, but she was even disliked.
What's with the "every day is a first kiss"? Chloe junior was really asking for it.
...
"Hahahahaha."
In a corner of the Amber Hall, Fufu laughed out loud.
"So Miseria senior actually slapped you?"
Chloe looked helpless.
It took a lot of effort finding an excuse to pull Fufu away from Rephya, only to be mercilessly laughed at.
"Actually, I didn't want her to feel awkward either."
This was true.
After all, Miseria senior always acted like "Ah, I have plenty of experience," but whether she had experience, couldn't he tell after a kiss?
"Alright, alright, she wasn't really angry. Miseria senior is actually very gentle, she may mock you, but she usually takes care of you."
"Indeed, she even treated me to a meal before, luckily her Fantasy Show was successfully completed."
"She broke through to Sequence Seven, haha, you wouldn't believe how funny she was those days."
"How so?"
"Those days she just broke through, wasn't she about to show off to Lilith senior?"
"Hmm, and then... oh, I remember now, Lilith was sleeping those days."
"Right, so she went in all smiles, and came back crying."
"But isn't Lilith awake now?"
"She's awake, but Lilith senior broke through to Sequence Five."
Stunned.
Very well.
Sequence Seven against Sequence Five, the advantage is mine!
Thinking of that scene, Chloe couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"But Miseria senior really is different from my first impression of her, I thought she was strict and proper."
Fufu crossed her long legs and opened the takeout that had just arrived, saying:
"Really? Senior is quite cute."
Chloe tried to recall the Miseria in his memories.
Good.
Very good.
Extremely good.
It seems our Miss Miseria always likes to be startled.
"Come on, let's eat first."
"Eh? Which takeout is this from? Smells good."
"Hehehe, this is a little shop I found out about after years at the Ethereal Emblem, let's dig in!"
...
After filling their stomachs.
Chloe looked at Fufu and said:
"You've regained your memory, so you should know what we're up against, right?"
Fufu lay on the bed, her small white feet dangling, calmly said:
"Of course, they're targeting us."
"Yes, it's hard for us to avoid the eyes of those World Groups, with the scale of the Stars now too immense."
Bringing up this matter, both of their smiles faded a bit.
The Seven Heroes are actually all in pretty poor condition.
The only one truly able to ascend with full divine power is the Armored Hero.
"Fufu, the ascensions of Cang and Sajia actually failed, didn't they?"
Fufu was silent for a moment before saying:
"Yes, for us, it's pretty much as good as a failure."
The Stars aren't really lacking in high-level divine power.
But they do lack high-level divine power with True God Uniqueness.
Because only high-level divine power with True God Uniqueness is truly the "Strongest".
However, almost every Strongest becomes a target.
In the earliest times, the Eternal Fierce Sun fell because of the Fear Demon God.
Then there's the Dark Night Goddess and the Silver Moon Goddess, who existed since the beginning of creation but whose True God Uniqueness and even divine power levels have been declining.
—The former was even killed on the spot in the World Group War.
It can be said that having True God Uniqueness is an opportunity but also makes one an easy target.
Of course.
It's not just The Stars who face this situation.
Any World Group with True God Uniqueness faces this dilemma.
Chloe could only call it a "Dark Forest".
Once someone sees that the opponent is holding a torch called True God Uniqueness, the guns in the darkness will all point towards the torch.
No matter which World Group.
Because every being holding a torch has the potential to become a Hunter.
"Cang and Sajia..." Mentioning the two old friends, Fufu looked a bit heavy-hearted, "Both of them are missing a part of their True God Uniqueness, and it's likely very difficult to get it back."
"Where is Sajia's part?"
"Several places, Heaven Mountain and Ten Thousand Beasts Garden among them."
"Cang's... mainly in the Demon Hall, I suppose."
"Yes, back then he intervened and was discovered and retaliated against by the Demon Hall. A hundred years after our deaths, he was targeted repeatedly and couldn't hold onto his Uniqueness.
The Bottomless Abyss has some as well, but most of it is in the Demon Hall."
"It seems it's just left to us and Rephya for now."
"Yes, Aik was smart, he learned to conceal himself."
"Haha, let him hide for now, he's the only one not yet directly discovered, not typical of a Shield Guard."
Chloe poured herself a glass of wine.
Aik's choice was correct.
He, Fufu, Rephya, indeed have all been thoroughly watched.
The price of being too aggressive against the Demon Hall is like this.
Aik being able to avoid it was truly lucky.
He suspected that Aik managed to avoid it because after reincarnation, he lived cautiously, and also because his son unexpectedly teamed up with Kai.
But the three of them have no chance.
Lacking protection from the Strongest leads to this.
"Kai, oh Kai,"
Mentioning his old friend, a peculiar glow flashed in Chloe's eyes.
Kai didn't have it easy either.
If it were easy, he wouldn't have left the Red Moon with The Stars first.
Why didn't he take Lilith to the Star Realm at first opportunity?
Was it because he didn't want to?
He just couldn't.
Even as the Strongest, the area you can protect is limited.
Bringing more makes you an easy target.
Fortunately, at least Kai holds two fully digested True God Uniqueness traits in his hand.
"Lust" and "Dragon".
Snap.
A human becoming the Dragon God.
It's absurdly amusing.
"Looks like we need to ascend quickly," Chloe said to Fufu, "How's your resource gathering going? If not enough, I could go out with you soon."
He wanted to handle the Extraordinary Traits that Fufu needed ahead of time.
Now they don't have bottlenecks, their combat experience is sufficient, there's no need to linger at this level too long.
"Stop kidding, already at Sequence Seven, this next journey, I must walk it alone. After all, I'm no Mage now."
Chloe paused, coming to his senses only then:
"Damn, I'm all confused, what's going on? How did you, a Magic Hero, end up on the Shadow Stab path?"
Fufu lazily got up and leaned over Chloe:
"Because I isolated the 'Magic Net Protection' and plan to give it to Nini later."
Chloe was even more puzzled.
"You don't need it?"
"No need to use it, Nini learned all the knowledge related to magic during her time with you in History Echoes. And if I still held onto 'Magic Net Protection', there's no way I could escape the attention of those World Groups.
How could I live peacefully until now after reincarnation?"
Chloe frowned.
"That's not all, is it?"
"Well, Shadow Plane's will also helped me a little, maybe because I'm some reckless Shadow Emperor's woman, so he extended his affection to me."
Chloe couldn't hold it anymore.
"Wait, didn't he also give you part of..."
"Yes, part of the Shadow Authority came to me."
Chloe slapped his forehead.
Finally, he could understand it.
Why Fufu could command her Shadow Soldiers.
It turns out a part of the Dark Night Goddess's True God Uniqueness is with Fufu.
This explained a lot.
He and Fufu's child inherited the True God Uniqueness "Pride" and gained all the remaining power of the Dark Night Goddess, except her True God Uniqueness.
And the True God Uniqueness of the Dark Night Goddess, with The Stars' consent, was kept by the Shadow Plane and fell into his and Fufu's bodies with their reincarnation.
And the 'Magic Net Protection' was separately isolated, managed by The Stars, and planned to be inherited by Nini in the future.
In addition, he and Rephya's "Titan Race" and "Holy Bone," the three of them possess four complete Uniqueness traits.
As long as any one of them ascends in complete form, they would directly inherit 1-2 True God Uniqueness, thus occupying an absolute advantage amongst the Strongest.
However...
Can things really go as they hope?
Chloe frowned.
Need to plan carefully for the next steps.
