In the palace, upon hearing Enzo’s inquiry, Harvey paused slightly.

“Starry Sky…”

Harvey murmured softly.

It’s a rarely mentioned term, even though every night, whether it’s members of ordinary tribes or supernatural beings among the royalty, they can all see the dazzling river of stars above them.

Yet, it seems no one truly pays attention.

They are more concerned with acquiring resources to increase their power or seeking revenge on their enemies.

Enzo, however, is one of the few who notices the Starry Sky.

After a moment of thought, Harvey replied, “I, or rather the entire Deer Hunters Organization, know very little about it. But it is certain that the Starry Sky is more splendid than we perceive. It holds countless powerful worlds and supernatural beings.

Our world is just a trivial existence among them. To reach the Starry Sky, one must enter the deity’s Realm to break free from the confines of our world. That’s all I know.”

“Is that so? Thank you for letting me know.” Enzo said with a smile.

Harvey instinctively nodded but then suddenly realized something was off.

Enzo’s tone was too casual for the current situation.

He quickly looked up and saw Enzo sitting on the throne, his eyes a clear brown with faint glimmers of the five elements shimmering within them, creating an otherworldly and holy aura as if embodying the entire world.

Harvey was stunned and asked in disbelief, “You’re not affected?”

“Affected? What influence?” Enzo’s eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and a violent aura surrounded him. Smiling, he said to Harvey, “Harvey, do you mean like this? It is indeed a state of madness that makes me want to destroy everything.

However, things always have their pros and cons. At least in this state, I can become much stronger.”

“And Harvey, this is my trust in you.”

“Do you understand what I mean?”

Harvey’s expression tightened.

Enzo’s deliberate display of his unaffected state by the Rexfit inheritance was a subtle threat, but it also eased Harvey’s concern as he said, “It seems my worries were unfounded.”

However, Harvey couldn’t understand why Enzo would create such a pretense.

Then Enzo asked, “Harvey, as the leader of the Deer Hunters Organization, you should be aware of the detailed information about the major factions in Dark Night Forest.”

Harvey frowned, sensing something ominous, and asked, “What are you planning to do?”

Enzo coldly replied, “To hold a blood ritual, but we are still missing a portion of the sacrifices.”

As his fears were confirmed, Harvey earnestly advised, “Enzo, I strongly advise against this. Even though I don’t know how you manage to maintain both states, if you proceed with the blood ritual, there’s a high chance you’ll fall into madness.

Moreover, excessive deaths among the strong in Dark Night Forest could cause greater chaos, possibly affecting other regions.”

Enzo disdainfully responded, “And what does that have to do with me?”

He looked at Harvey with scorn and said, “The rules of the world are such that powerful beasts prey on weaker ones, and the strong oppress the weak. The people you speak of were never on the side of justice; they were just powerful.

Now, as someone stronger, if I continue doing the same, what’s wrong with that?”

Harvey couldn’t refute this.

It was the harsh truth of the world.

Still, he made one last attempt to dissuade Enzo, saying, “If you want to conduct the blood ritual, the best approach isn’t through slaughter, but by participating in the supernatural trials.

According to the information left by the God of Hunting, the masters of these trials come from Starry Sky, not our world. The trials contain many supernatural bloodlines from Starry Sky, and using these bloodlines for the blood ritual would yield much greater results.”

Upon hearing this, Enzo suddenly stood up.

Supernatural trials, coming from Starry Sky?

No wonder the mysterious orc tribe had been so proud when they gave him and Norma the supernatural Trial Crystal. If it was from Starry Sky, everything made sense.

Realizing this, Enzo smiled and asked, “Then you must know something about the supernatural trials?”

Harvey sighed and reluctantly provided some information about the supernatural trials.

“…The Ice Moon Royal Family and the Solar Dynasty have secretly reached an agreement.

The Solar Dynasty will forgo this supernatural Trial Crystal, but the Ice Moon Royal Family must help the Solar Dynasty hunt a mythical bloodline creature in the Blue Agate River and provide other rare giant-level supernatural beast corpses.

The cost is quite high, but the Ice Moon Queen’s life is nearing its end, and she must participate in the supernatural trials to seek a chance at survival.”

“There are different regions within the supernatural trials, each corresponding to various treasures or supernatural knowledge.”

“Each trial passed earns a corresponding score, and only by meeting the score requirements can one advance to the next trial. Completing the final trial brings a mysterious reward.”

“However, no one has ever completed the final trial.”

Harvey spoke calmly.

Enzo was hearing this for the first time.

At this moment, he had to admit that the Deer Hunters Organization was indeed powerful in intelligence gathering.

Considering this, Enzo then asked, “Have you found any news about Norma?”

Since leaving the Misty World, Norma had not been seen.

According to Leiden, Norma is supposed to be in some strange place, having traveled to a past time, but she has yet to reappear, which still worries Enzo.

Harvey shook his head and said, “No, we investigated but didn’t find Ms. Norma.”

Harvey then added, “Although there’s no news about Ms. Norma, our people have gathered important information in Snow Fox Territory. Ms. Amy has successfully awakened the perfect bloodline of the fox people and her strength is rapidly increasing.

Moreover, she is highly likely to participate in the supernatural trial. To ensure Ms. Amy’s loyalty to Snow Fox Territory, some informed individuals in Snow Fox Territory plan to kill you to cut off any thoughts Ms. Amy might have about returning to the Crimson Star Tribe.

Curtis came here specifically for this purpose.”

Upon hearing this, Enzo’s lips curled into a cold smile.

He quickly asked, “Where is Curtis?”

Harvey immediately reported, “He is in the Rift Valley to the west of Dark Night Forest.”

With this information, Enzo left without delay.

He was never one to show mercy to his enemies, especially not to someone who wanted to kill him.

The best way to deal with an enemy was to eliminate them completely; otherwise, even if they posed no real threat, their presence could still be irritating.

Seeing Enzo leave, Harvey sighed.

He suddenly felt that coming to Crimson Lake was a mistake.

Not only had he failed to grasp Enzo’s true intentions, but he had also disclosed some critical intelligence, which was undoubtedly a losing proposition for someone whose livelihood depended on information trading.

“Well, it is what it is. I’ll have to take it one step at a time.”

Harvey consoled himself.

…

On the other side, in the Dark Night Forest, within the Rift Valley.

The entire valley is shrouded in a sense of terror, and at the camp deep within the valley, stands a large group of orcs.

Curtis remained expressionless as he tore apart the bodies of several members responsible for gathering information, scattering their broken limbs on the ground and splattering blood.

Several specially raised wild beasts smelled the smell of blood and immediately pounced on them, gnawing on those limbs. This scene made other orcs feel cold in their hearts.

“Useless! All of you are useless!”

Curtis erupted, shouting at the people in front of him. “I asked you to investigate what happened at Crimson Lake, and you found nothing! What use are you all?”

No one dared to retort.

Although many wanted to speak up—

Investigate Crimson Lake? Who are you, Curtis, to be worthy of that?

The people at Crimson Lake were once renowned figures, and these people, at best, were slightly better than ordinary individuals. Being able to gather even a bit of information was already quite impressive, but Curtis deemed it worthless.

Everyone harbored suppressed anger, waiting for the day it would suddenly erupt.

At that moment, someone suggested, “Lord Curtis, should we seek assistance from the Snow Fox Territory?”

Curtis scolded again, “Fools, do I need you to remind me? I’ve already contacted Commander Andrew. He will come personally to deal with that brat and eliminate all obstacles in the supernatural path for Lord Princess !”

The news excited the crowd.

However, their enthusiasm wasn’t just about the incoming assistance or the completion of their mission. They were more relieved that they wouldn’t have to endure Curtis’s unreasonable insults anymore, as Andrew’s gentle and warm demeanor was well known.

But before Andrew could arrive, Enzo appeared first.

With his crimson wings creating a swirling red storm, he landed amidst the crowd’s panicked cries and looked at Curtis with a smile, saying, “Curtis, we meet again.”

“Brat, it’s you!”

Curtis’s expression changed slightly, sensing the threat from Enzo.

Despite this, he remained arrogant and mocked, “So you’ve grown some courage by becoming a higher-level supernatural. But let me show you that even among high-level supernaturals, there are still differences!”

Curtis’s face twisted into a menacing grin.

Curtis howled to the sky and transformed into a massive Three-Tailed Firefox, exuding an imposing aura.

He then roared, “Since you’ve come to me, you might as well die!”
