Hera.

This woman has an absolute beastly mindset.

In the society of jungle beasts, the strong are already worshipped.

And Hera twisted this psychology to the extreme.

Only men more powerful than her would be favored by Hera.

Hera is so strong, and the reason is very simple,

She wanted a child.

From a very early age, Hera had the idea that she must find an extremely powerful creature and combine his seed completely with her.

Even, as long as she is strong enough, the object she is looking for can be completely non-human.

Because she is not human per se.

The City of Adventurers is often infested with all sorts of powerful adventurers.

And the reason why she established the Beast Guild here was also to discover a male who was strong enough to surpass herself.

Including her going to the monster rift and exploring the abyss, it is also to find male monsters who may be stronger than herself and can communicate with each other.

That's why, after the Great Prince informed her of the appearance of a particularly powerful monster in the monster rift.

As soon as she could, she couldn't wait to organize the team and hurried here.

The powerful monster did see it, but she also saw a man who was even better than the monster.

Victor Klevenner.

As long as she gets the seed of this man, she will definitely give birth to the best offspring.

But......

"Are you worthy?"

The cold voice that was merciless echoed in the earth.

The adventurers around them all froze in place, and they looked at Victor with their mouths open.

Hera is likewise included.

The dark gray heart in her eyes began to crack, and a bud broke through the cracked heart, leaving Hera's eyes.

She looked at Victor with a blank expression, and even her voice trembled slightly.

Maybe it was because of the first courtship, but she was rejected on the spot, which made her feel unacceptable.

"What...... Meaning? ”

Victor threw out a single sentence that shattered Hera's last illusions.

"Literally."

Hera is not human, she always carries out her beast-like thinking and cognition, and her cognition is no different from that of a beast.

Mighty beasts will watch their offspring kill each other, keeping the last of the strongest to survive and cultivate them.

Ensure the excellence of their own bloodline, and continue to cultivate excellent next generations through screening.

She herself was born in such an environment.

As a member of the Beast, Hera killed all of her siblings from a young age to prove that her bloodline was the finest.

Under the concept education that she receives all the time, there is only one concept left in her heart.

That is,

In any case, she wants to raise an offspring that is better than herself, and even better than everyone else.

Pursue the strong, worship the strong, and finally ......

Surpass the strong.

However, as Victor put it.

"You're not worthy."

On the one hand, Victor will not allow his bloodline to survive in such an environment, and on the other hand,

Victor said slowly to Hera in a very sparse and ordinary tone:

"Do you think you're strong?"

The moment the words fell, the saplings that had just sprouted were gradually covered by a stream of green from the roots.

In the blink of an eye, it grew into several towering giant trees.

The thick green poured into the body of the giant tree, and the bare branches spread out of lush green leaves, and the flowers that were waiting to bloom.

The raindrops falling from the clear sky gradually calmed down, slid over the leaves, and hit the earth, creating puddles of water that reflected a thick green.

Grass grew on the ground, and the breeze gradually blew through the trees, and the waves rolled outward with a rattling sound.

Hera looked at the instantaneous change of environment around her, and couldn't help but be stunned again.

Whoever sees this miraculous image will be shocked and occupy their minds.

Her mind went blank for a moment, but soon, consciousness was back in her hands.

At this moment, Hera fell into a state of self-doubt.

She...... Is it strong?

Before meeting Victor, she was indeed able to announce it with great confidence.

She's strong, strong.

From growing up on his own, growing stronger, to entering the territory of the empire.

Hera had never met anyone more powerful than her.

There may be some existences that can match her, but just being evenly matched will not be the choice in Hera's heart.

Even when she heard about the new councillor Victor added to the Magic Council, Hera's heart didn't fluctuate in the slightest.

How much energy can a small councillor have?

Until you see it with your own eyes.

It is powerful enough to change the world, and even monsters so powerful that they can destroy an entire land can be defeated.

And the user of that magic.

It was the man in front of him.

Victor.

Elegant, powerful.

He was even slightly wounded only at the beginning of the battle.

After that, he fought with him for almost a full day, but he was not injured again.

Victor's voice still sounded flat.

"There is a big gap between you and me, and you should know this better than me."

"Then why do you think you're worthy of me?"

Hera listened to Victor's words and was silent.

It's like a sharp needle, slowly piercing into your heart.

Victor's words left her in deep distress.

She also has countless followers and even countless suitors.

And in her own beast world, she prefers to call the behavior of those people - courtship.

The weak follow the strong, and they also want to pursue Hera because of her strength.

But Hera, like Victor now, rejected them as well.

The same reason was used.

"Are you worthy?"

Hera looked at the stronger, and the weak were worthless in her eyes.

Now, his courtship behavior has also suffered the same rejection.

Because, here, she is the weakling.

Victor is the strongest.

The strong don't have to be with the weak, so Victor rejected her for the same reason, and Hera couldn't speak at all.

Because she is a beast, she must obey the doctrine of the beast.

The law of the jungle is the strong, and what the strong say is correct.

With that, Victor turned away and never looked back.

He looked up at the sky, a glimmer of white fluorescence in his eyes.

The white formation that kept spinning under his feet gradually contracted, and the winged magic stars began to hover around the formation without stopping at Victor's feet.

In the next second, the extremely large white formation was in the sky, and the gathered wings exploded violently, and the formation completely dissipated.

With a whirlwind of air, Victor disappeared in place.

There were only two words that echoed in the air:

"It seems that this cooperation is not very good, but your ambition has been recognized by me."

"I'll continue to wait for your news, see you next time."

All the adventurers gathered together, and they looked worriedly at Hera, who was standing in place with her head bowed, unable to see her face clearly.

"Boss ......"

Soon, after hearing a call, Hera raised her head again, regaining her initial calm and graceful posture.

Holding a fan, covering his mouth, he smiled faintly:

"It's okay, it's just a rejection."

The first courtship was rejected, and to be honest, it did make her a little sad.

But it also made Hera understand some truth.

She stepped onto the shallow puddle of water, splashing a few drops of crystal water.

Hera felt the fresh air around her, and she was in a good mood.

She thought slowly about what was ahead, and walked slowly through the woods with quiet steps.

The lonely back looks even more lonely under the sun.

She continued to walk quietly, while the adventurers all remained silent.

Suddenly, Hera stopped, turned around, and solemnly looked at the fourth-order adventurers, looking them up and down.

Hera shook her hand and opened the fan, completely obscuring her chuckling face.

There was a slight fanaticism in his eyes.

"I think we in the Beast Guild should make some changes."

The words gradually fell, and those adventurers seemed to have a feeling gradually rising from the bottom of their hearts,

They seemed to understand something.

It's not just Hera who thinks so, but as long as the adventurers who join the beast guild themselves tend to worship the beast's action thinking.

These fourth-order adventurers were more or less defeated under Hera, or they were simply succumbed to Hera's strength and were willing to become members of the guild.

And the appearance of Victor also shocked their hearts.

[Beast] worships the strong, and should follow the strong.

And now, Victor, is the one who is strong.

"The Cravenna family's solicitation will be an opportunity for our Beast Guild."

……

The thirtieth layer of the Monster Rift.

【Green Path】

Through a huge doorway, they finally came to the end of the [Green Path].

What appeared in front of everyone was an extremely vast open space.

The subhuman team entered in an orderly manner, but their faces became extremely solemn.

Everywhere, there are corrupt green vines and faint glimmers.

It's like feeling something.

A giant claw burst out from beneath the green earth, revealing a shriveled head.

It struggled with glazed eyes, stretched out half of its body.

The team was all on alert, and they could clearly sense that the monster that was about to appear had a very powerful aura.

Even Gwen drew her sword, with a sharp look in her eyes, ready for battle.

Aurelian looked at the sluggish monster that was still struggling outward, as if recognizing it, and said slowly:

"Found it, the end of the thirtieth floor."

"Floor Lord—Soul Demon Corpse."
