Chapter 65 – Reactions from all parties
```
Blue Planet, Huaguo.
After a whole day of playing on the Kain Continent, Lin Fan opened the game pod with a blank expression.
Usually, he would be happy after finishing a game, but today he couldn't find any joy.
His favorite NPC, the Saintess Roye, was in grave danger, and the worst part was that she had been kidnapped by the culprit, the Eaglehold Lord.
In any game, he had always felt proud and superior for being a player.
Because in games, players are the calamities that overturn everything, the gods overlooking all.
But today, he felt a deep sense of defeat, like a clown jumping around helplessly, powerless and furious.
Exhausted, he considered quitting the game.
Lin Fan turned on his computer, leaned back tiredly in his chair, and thought about finding the latest 18+ game to relax.
But his mind kept drifting back to the moments in Morninglight Town, the optimistic and kind-hearted Demi-humans, the silly players who fought alongside him, and the image of the Saintess Roye...
He vividly remembered the admiring gaze of a young Demi-human girl.
She called him a great hero, who single-handedly killed the ferocious wild boar.
"But I'm just a player..."
Lin Fan chuckled bitterly, a hint of loneliness flashing in his eyes.
Just then, a notification from the official Kain Continent popped up on his computer screen.
[Kain Continent Second Beta Test: This test will have 10,000 slots, crafted by the Nine Nations Federation, with 100% sensory immersion, powered by the Queen's super AI. A world of swords and magic awaits your arrival!]
"The second beta test!?"
"Ten thousand player slots?"
Lin Fan's eyes lit up, a spark of determination reigniting in his gaze.
"Screw the Eaglehold Lord!"
"It's not time to give up yet..."
He opened the forum and created a post.
[Recruitment Post: For the best Saintess, let all players unite!]
The light from the computer screen reflected on Lin Fan's face, a glint of cold determination in his rectangular glasses.
"Let's do this!"
……
Cologne Empire, Balda Sanctuary.
In the magnificent sanctuary, the Pope, dressed in a white robe, red cape, and a high three-tiered crown, was intently studying the intricate chessboard before him.
Though his attire lacked extravagant decorations, the divine light occasionally flowing over his body highlighted the mystery and power of the old Pope.
At that moment, a Templar Knight, clad in armor, entered the sanctuary, bowed his head, and knelt respectfully:
"Your Holiness, the assassination mission failed."
The Pope looked at the chessboard without speaking, gently picking up the black bishop piece and capturing the white king.
After a moment of silence, the old Pope's lips moved slightly, and the Templar Knight heard his cold voice in his ear.
"Send Black Sword to kill that flea."
"Inform Eve to initiate the Paradise Plan."
……
First Layer of the Abyssal Plane.
Territory of the Demon Lord Felton.
Ye Hao, half-demonized, collapsed on the ground, screaming and writhing.
The whispers and howls of demons at his ears were gradually eroding his will.
He felt as if his mind was being roasted over a fire by a group of little demons, with ten thousand needles piercing deep into his brain.
His body was collapsing, his soul being torn apart, and he was on the verge of breaking down.
Just as he was about to completely lose his sanity, he suddenly felt a coolness in his mind, as a grand will descended upon his consciousness.
"You have disappointed me greatly, Ye Hao."
The voice of the grand will was cold, carrying immense anger.
"To think you were tempted by the Kain Abyss for a moment's power!"
Hearing the reprimand from the grand will, Ye Hao's already twisted expression became even more terrifying, like a demon.
He lay on the ground, his face smeared with snot and tears from the previous agony, looking at the abyss's crimson soil, and roared in unwillingness:
"Isn't it because you didn't give me more power? That foresight skill is useless, what else could I do? Just watch as my woman is taken by that damn lord?"
"Fool, just a vessel, and yet you lose your composure!"
"I've told you before, I'm fully preventing the backlash of this world's will, creating opportunities for my people to invade this world, and have no extra time to focus on you."
"You only need to guide my people well, and even if you encounter that anomaly, you can still remain undefeated."
"But what have you done!"
"I could have relied on my people to gradually analyze the vessel's divinity, and then take over her body."
"But you secretly traded her divinity with the abyss! And laughably, you even got yourself involved!"
"Your foolish actions have disrupted my plans."
At this moment, the voice of the grand will was exceptionally angry, even causing the air around Ye Hao to distort, but it seemed to have some concerns, and its voice gradually calmed down:
"I'll give you one last chance, if you remain stubborn, don't blame me for using your body as a new vessel!"
"There's no time left, the second descent must be initiated ahead of schedule!"
After speaking, the grand will swiftly withdrew from Ye Hao's body, and simultaneously, Ye Hao's vision went black, his body twisting and disappearing from the first layer of the abyss.
When he reappeared, he was already at the gates of Morninglight Town.
The power he gained from the demons hadn't vanished; it seemed to have fully merged with his body with the help of the grand will.
Ye Hao clenched his fists, feeling the immense power within him, and couldn't help but laugh maniacally.
"Eaglehold Lord, dare to touch my woman... just you wait!"
What he didn't know was that the Saintess Roye had long been taken by the Eaglehold Lord.
……
Winterfell City.
The slanting sun was warm, and it was already dusk.
The gentle rays of the setting sun, carrying a hint of warmth, fell on the face of the Saintess Roye.

Thanks to Loli's treatment, Roye's condition had improved, but it wasn't completely resolved.
"Master... Loli can't completely eliminate this power, I can only temporarily counter it."
Loli shook her head dejectedly, feeling a bit disheartened for not being able to help her master.
Sylvie gently touched the little maid's smooth, fair cheek, wiping away the sweat from her forehead, then pulled her into his arms, comforting her softly, "It's not your fault, Loli, you've done wonderfully."
Since returning from Morninglight Town, Loli had been tirelessly using her abilities all afternoon, and she had treated so many citizens in the morning.
At this moment, she was utterly exhausted.
The little maid blushed, squinting her eyes, snuggling softly in Sylvie's arms, her tail wrapped around his waist, rubbing against him like a cat, then forcing herself to perk up from Sylvie's embrace, saying worriedly:
"Her condition is very complicated, Loli can sense an evil force eroding her body, a mark deeply embedded in her soul that can't be dispelled."
"She can't wake up now because this evil mark has dragged her into a nightmare."
"To truly rid herself of this mark, it depends on whether she can overcome it herself."
Hearing this, Sylvie held the little maid, lost in thought.
He felt that although he couldn't directly save Roye, perhaps he could offer her some help in her nightmare.
