After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

The cruel cycles of tens of thousands of years have finally been severed in their generation.

Lia: "It feels like we've been through so much."

Isa nodded in agreement, "Yeah, it felt like such a long dream."

A werewolf girl with blue hair and a fluffy tail said, "In the dream, I forgot about the captain."

"Me too!"

Anna tilted her head in distress, "Was it an illusion? It felt so brief, yet somehow like it spanned decades."

"So, you experienced it too..." Bailuo said in surprise, "I thought I was the only one who forgot about our teacher in that dream."

Lin Xi, transformed back into her human form from the Magical Dragon, was now a black-haired beauty, and curiously remarked, "I had that dream too. I almost cried."

Taige scratched his head, "Huh? What are you all talking about?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances.

It seemed they all had the same dream.

In the dream, they inexplicably forgot Lin Da.

They couldn't even recall who eventually remembered him.

Lin Da smiled as he looked at the girls, "I need to thank all of you. Without you, without the people of Mystic Continent and Devil's Continent, I couldn't have defeated Tricia."

Kafni: "And me! I'm the biggest contributor."

"Yes, thank you as well, Kafni."

Lin Da gently patted Kafni's head, "Lastly, can I ask you for one more favor?"

Kafni swatted his hand away and pouted, "No way! If it weren't for your wish, I wouldn't have had to suffer here."

But Lin Da ignored whether Kafni agreed or not. He knelt down on one knee and took a silver ring from his embrace.

He grabbed Kafni's hand, who had been pointing at her nose while furiously berating him.

With a gentle push, he slid the ring onto Kafni's index finger.

"Huh?"

Kafni froze.

She stared blankly at Lin Da.

Could… could it be...

This infuriating Hero was proposing to her...

The group around them was equally stunned.

"Kafni, stay here.

Please become our goddess.

The new * World Tree Goddess, Lady Kafni!"

Lin Da declared solemnly.

"Just… just that? I thought..." Kafni's face flushed deeply, and she muttered under her breath.

Lin Da asked confusedly, "What did you think I was going to say?"

"Ahem, nothing!"

Kafni gave him a fierce glare, "Goddess? Fine, I'll do it. After all, loafing around in the Divine Realm or here is all the same to me."

"Thank you." Lin Da smiled and stood up, embracing Kafni.

At that moment, Lulu approached, her gaze filled with resentment.

"Captain, did you forget about some other promises you made?"

Lin Da looked around and found all the girls staring at him.

—After the war ends, I'll...

He had been so focused on dealing with the Demons that he'd almost forgotten what was truly important.

Lin Da broke into a cold sweat.

"I didn't forget! How could I possibly forget?"

Lin Da produced a dozen small boxes he'd prepared in advance.

Gazing tenderly at the girls, Lin Da loudly proclaimed:

"Lulu.

Monica.

Tasya.

Taige.

Mingli.

Bailuo.

Lia.

Aiko.

Isa.

Wendy.

Lin Xi!"

There were others too.

But for now, Lin Da had only promised these eleven people. The rest would have to wait for the second batch.

Lin Da said with utmost sincerity: "Please, become my Oath-bound!"

It felt almost like a roll call during an exam, taking ages before one heard their own name.

Each of the girls felt strange inside.

There was no helping it.

Because the person they liked happened to be the same one.

And this person was none other than the Hero who saved the world.

Lulu: "I'll gladly accept."

Monica: "If it's the captain, then of course..."

Tasya: "It's an honor to have the master's acknowledgment."

Taige: "I'm included too?"

Mingli: "Hehehe, hehehehe..."

Bailuo: "Teacher, I'll accept."

Lia: "It's not because I like you, don't get the wrong idea."

Isa: "Looks like I'll get scolded by my father again..."

Wendy: "Snore... Snore... What's happening?"

Lin Xi: "Oath-bound is different from being a wife? Now I'm a bit disappointed."

The surrounding Legends all cast blessings toward Lin Da.

Now, the continent's greatest faction was about to be born.

Two Divine Ranks, eleven Legendary Rank Oath-bound...

Stronger than the Royal Family!

If Lin Da wanted, he could even rename Mystic Continent.

Meanwhile, the Demons were terrified.

Worried about how they'd be treated next.

"Thank you all for the blessings!"

Lin Da cheerfully held the Oath Rings and began placing them on the fingers of each girl.

Then everyone gathered in front of Demon King's Castle for a commemorative photo.

Lin Da stood in the center, flanked by his Oath-bound.

Beyond them stood Evelyn, the New Moon Knight, and Abner...

At the very edges were the Legendary adventurers.

Click!

The flash went off.

Everyone made a peace sign.

A grand group photo was produced.

The "Demon King" campaign — Victorious!

...

...

And then, the cleanup began.

Lin Da erased the powers of all the Demon Clan Legends.

Those who had led the invasion of Mystic Continent were killed.

Lin Da spared the ordinary citizens of the Demons.

After all, the root of the conflict was Tricia. Without Tricia masquerading as the Demon King and altering the environment of Devil's Continent, the two races wouldn't have harbored such hatred.

Lin Da and Kafni worked together to create a barrier between the two continents, capable of lasting tens of thousands of years.

The Demons and adventurers would live their separate lives, free from the burden of war.

Soon after, the group returned to Mystic Continent to attend the commendation ceremony at the Royal Capital.

The war had ended.

Rebuilding the continent had only just begun.

Kafni absorbed the godhead of the World Tree, succeeding Tricia and becoming the new goddess.

Lin Da showed no air of being a Divine Rank. He removed his adventurer's outfit and assisted in city restoration.

With his involvement, it only took a week for all cities on Mystic Continent to be restored.
