I'm a little bit cute after transforming.

Chapter 154 Final Boss? Chloe?

After leaving the main hall, Murong Bai didn't even return to his own palace, and left the underwater tribe's territory overnight.

It was already late at night when Murong Bai arrived at the shore. He transformed into human form and went to the spot where Diana and the others had barbecued. The area had been cleaned up and there was no trace of the previous place.

Murong Bai took out a crystal engraved with spatial coordinates, played with it for a while, and then carefully put it away.

The crystal that Diana gave him was a one-time use item; once activated, it would dissipate. Murong Bai didn't plan to use it, since it was a gift from Diana, and it would be a waste to just use it up like that. Besides, it was already late, and it seemed inappropriate to use it rashly!

"Anna and the others should come here again tomorrow, I just need to wait a little longer."

"It would be rather impolite to use such a precious gift like this!"

"I can't let Anna think I'm a promiscuous person!"

Murong Bai kept finding reasons for not using the crystal.

······

The next morning, after breakfast, Louise said she wanted to spend time with her mother, so they canceled their original plan to go to the beach and instead held a tea party.

Diana had no objection to this, after all, they had caught quite a lot of seafood, enough to feed everyone for a long time.

It's quite relaxing to sit down together occasionally, have some tea and snacks, and chat.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was lunchtime.

After a hearty lunch, everyone started packing up to leave. They still had to go back and finish their schoolwork, so the afternoon was destined to be very long.

Louise and her family escorted Diana and her party to the gate of the manor.

"Anna! You must come visit often when you have time!"

Louise's mother waved and called out.

Diana waved.

"Don't worry, Auntie! I'll definitely come back after we finish eating the seafood!"

Everyone covered their mouths and chuckled.

At this moment, Louise's father quickly reminded her:

"Anna! Don't forget about building that railway! If you need any help, just let me know!"

Diana certainly wouldn't forget that from then on, the ability to eat seafood in the mainland would depend entirely on railway transportation.

After saying goodbye, Diana led everyone away via teleportation. Lilia, being afraid of heights, had no choice but to abandon her plan to fly back.

Louise's mother, Karina, watched the group disappear from sight and sighed:

"Anna is such a good girl! Not only is she very capable, but she is also very guileless."

"It's a pity we don't have a boy in our family, what a shame!"

Louise's father took her hand and gently stroked it.

"Madam, it's not without a chance. Anna is still young..."

Karina's cheeks flushed slightly, and she rolled her eyes at him.

······

Meanwhile, on the beach under the blazing sun.

Murong Bai has been standing there since last night, his body straight, facing the sea, his white robes fluttering in the breeze, giving him the air of a sage.

Murong Bai maintained a calm expression, but inwardly he was extremely anxious. He took out the crystal, stroked it for a moment, and then carefully put it away. 'Why haven't Anna and the others arrived yet!'

Murong Bai looked up, the blinding sunlight making him squint slightly. 'The sunlight is so strong, they should arrive in a few hours!'

Murong Bai didn't look for a shady spot; he felt it was more dignified to stand there while waiting, and even the posture he adopted was something he had studied for a long time.

An old woman carrying a bamboo basket came to the beach to collect seafood. She glanced at the wide beach and spotted Murong Bai again. She had seen Murong Bai standing there motionless when she came in the morning.

The old woman hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not go forward to ask. Murong Bai's ethereal appearance did not suggest that he was in any difficulty.

"It's good to be young~"

The old woman shook her head and left.

······

Back in Oliver City, everyone started catching up on their homework, but Diana was clearly not among them; when asked, she claimed she already knew it all.

Diana was also giving guidance to the others, and she really enjoyed the feeling of being a top student.

At that moment, Gene came over and called Diana away, saying he had something to tell her.

In Gene's room, Diana, who hadn't noticed Dolly and the others even after being back for so long, asked:

"Grandpa Gene, where are Dolly and the others?"

"They're bored, so they've gone out to find something to do. Just leave them be."

Inside the room, Gene poured tea and continued:

"Anna, don't let your guard down while you're out! That woman from the church could attack you at any moment!"

Diana looked puzzled, and the image of that slender woman in a white robe and veil involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

"Why would she attack me? I didn't do anything to her, Grandpa Gene!"

Gene sighed.

"Anna, you did nothing wrong. You only stood in her way. And all those who stand in her way will be eliminated by her!"

"Why? What have I done to stop her?"

Gene took a sip of tea and was about to begin his explanation when Diana interrupted him.

"Wait a moment!"

Diana took out sunflower seeds, fruit, and drinks.

"Alright, Grandpa Gene, take your time, no rush."

Gene's lips twitched. "Are you here to listen to a story?"

Gene ultimately didn't stop Diana from gossiping, after all, she was still young.

"That's a long story."

"A long time ago, when I first met her, she was a member of the hero's party, an inconspicuous priest."

"After defeating the hero's party, I don't know how much time had passed. When she came again alone, I was no longer a match for her."

"She was like a completely different person, with her endless skills and boundless magic. In the end, I was exhausted and defeated."

Gene glanced at Diana, who was eating sunflower seeds, and continued:

"After defeating me by trickery, she actually wanted me to become her subordinate and work for her."

"If it weren't for the safety of my people, and the fact that she promised to take me out of the maze, how could I have agreed!"

Diana took a sip of her drink and then asked:

"Grandpa Gene, what's her name? Is she really that amazing?"

Gene shook his head.

"I don't know her real name either. She changes her name often. Her first name was Chloe."

"Her power comes from the power of faith. As long as her faith continues, coupled with her terrifying number of skills, almost no one can rival her!"

"Later I learned the reason she became stronger: she founded a church, provided free treatment, and awakened her skills ahead of time to gain people's faith!"

"But those who awakened early didn't know that it was all her conspiracy."

"Although many people awaken their skills ahead of time, their potential is also prematurely exhausted, and they will never be able to break through level 30 in their lifetime."

"She can awaken skills in others and copy those skills. Over time, the number of her skills will become unimaginable!"

"Supported by the power of faith, she has achieved immortality in a certain sense!"

"Gradually, everyone got used to the idea that skills could only be acquired through church awakening, and that the human level cap was 30."

"To gain more people's faith, she also cultivated a demon king through the Great Labyrinth of the Abyss, preventing the war from ending, because only suffering can inspire people's faith!"

Diana realized that this Krui was definitely cheating! With unlimited mana, unlimited skills, and a level advantage, almost no one could stand against her!

'Good heavens! So the Demon King wasn't the final boss after all! She was!'
