The fighting at the Palermo court had subsided.
Six against three, the Succubus Queen's level had even reached Lv.30, the so-called "behind the curtain", making this battle between demigods completely suspenseful.
The three vampire demigods couldn't even escape and were instantly defeated. Red-haired Otto personally cast a spell to seal their strength.
"You have reached Level 30?" After the three vampire demigods were taken away, Apirius looked at the Succubus Queen with some surprise and asked.
The other demigods also looked at her in surprise.
"Well, the momentum of the recent escalation was too strong, and I accidentally failed to suppress it." The Succubus Queen answered casually.
"So when do you plan to retire?" Apirius asked seriously.
"Just recently." The Succubus Queen said boredly, "After all, I can't just linger in this world like the Imperial Swordmaster Richard Turner."
"Alas." Red-haired Otto also sighed softly, as if he felt something.
Hearing the conversation between the demigods, Medea felt her heart suddenly skip a beat, and an emotion of disbelief spread from the bottom of her heart.
"What does retreat mean?" Nora asked in a confused voice, "Why do we have to retreat when we reach Lv.30?"
"Lv.30..." Medea forced herself to calm down and explained to her, "It's the watershed between humanity and divinity."
"After Lv. 30, divinity has surpassed humanity, which is manifested by the fact that the transformed monsters will become stronger and stronger. Every damage in the battle with them will severely damage your sanity, further weakening your humanity."
"Once there is little sanity left, it means that the existence of a 'human' is completely wiped out, and only the part that symbolizes the laws and rules remains. It is no different from death... No, it should be said that it is more tragic than death."
"After all, if a person dies, the superego representing memory will sink into the ocean of subconsciousness and reach the underworld; and when the mind is cleared, it is completely wiped out, and there is absolutely no possibility of resurrection. Even the last trace of existence as a 'human' will be completely assimilated by the laws and rules. That is the real 'erasure'."
"Yes, that's why I want to retire." The Succubus Queen came over gracefully and said, "Starting from Lv. 20, any demigod will try every means to suppress his or her own leveling speed. Because after that, the gain in strength with each level increase is far less than the accompanying danger to sanity."
"But becoming a demigod means fully integrating with the laws, so even if you sleep all day long, your level will rise over time... Just like mortals cannot escape birth, aging, sickness and death, demigods cannot avoid being eroded and assimilated by the laws and gradually losing their humanity."
"Purgatory, the Underworld, and the Abyss, the rules of the three planes are the most chaotic. There, demigods can most effectively suppress their divinity and avoid having their existence as 'humans' erased - so that is where we are destined to go, and it is the final destination of all demigods."
"Well." Medea was silent for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?"
"I will stay in Lingbo City for a while." The Succubus Queen replied with a smile, "Then I will leave for the Purgatory Plane."
