Chapter 1644 Was That Hard?
Pristina, the Pope of the Church of Light, is now at an impasse. The demon that she mocked has pledged that he does not care of what happens to the Behemoth as all he wants is the World Eater Parasite. She was now being pressured by the players that she also looks down upon.
She does not want to give in to the pressure of the ones she looks down upon but there would be grave consequences if she does not. The humans of this world would die from always attacking the World Eater Parasite. It would not take long for a monster that does not even bat an eye to get irritated from the beings around it.
Even Pristina cannot bring someone back from the dead because that is not the grace of her goddess. The Goddess Luminaria might be able to heal and fortify but she cannot bring the dead back to life unlike the gods or goddesses of life. She does not have the ability to bring the dead back to life much less her goddess which is why she is pushing herself to heal the people back to health.
"I request aid." Pristina murmured.
"I am sorry. I did not hear what you said? Did you hear something?" Adrian stated even though he has heard it fully since he has great hearing.
Pristina did not want to ask for help, but she knows that even her true form could barely deal with this monster from another universe. She bets that even the other seven angels above her does not have a way of dealing with it. She might think of Mikhail as an exemption but even he would not be able to easily deal with the World Eater Parasite.
What Pristina did not know is that Adrian by himself without the aid of Dodu would also have no way of dealing with the World Eater Parasite. If it was only Adrian here, then he would have called the other elders as they would create numerous black holes to crush the World Eater Parasite. Adrian will not say that though because he likes to have Pristina show some humility to him.
"I, Pristina, request the aid of the demon." Pristina stated but still in a soft voice.
"I cannot hear it properly. What did you say to me?" Adrian stated as it was sure that he was just teasing Pristina, but the players also know that feeling.
The players have numerous NPCs that look down on them, but they had to fold because the authority of the NPCs is higher, and they were more powerful than them. Yet Adrian, a player just like them, is actually able to force NPCs to admit their wrongs and bow down to him. One might say that he can only do this because he has the advantage, but they are wrong.
Adrian might not know this but there is actually a dedicated thread where it discusses his relationship with NPCs. The players are actually astounded that the demons are showing him respect. Even the elders of the Daemos race are showing him respect even if they treat him like a child.
What is even more envious for the players is that the Daemos Elders see Adrian as an equal but younger than them in age. If they were to try what Adrian was doing to other NPCs in other kingdoms, then they would be executed or sent to prison. Players who also went to Avalon noticed that the powerful NPCs there do not look down on you because of your race but only look at you with indifference since they do not know you.
Adrian does not know much as he does not handle most of the personal affairs but there is actually a long queue on becoming permanent citizens of Avalon. Adrian's territory is also a hotbed for other races which is why players are trying their luck if they could unlock a different race. Even if Adrian does not know it, he has the respect of a good number of the player base because of what he accomplished not just his powerful skills.
A ray of light suddenly shown towards Pristina as if the Goddess of Light herself has given her a message. Pristina looked immensely shocked upon learning of the revelation that she even stared at the sky for a few seconds. She gritted her teeth and gave a slight bow to Adrian which even shocked the latter.
"Champion Equinox, as a guardian of this world, the Church of Light humbly asks for your aid in destroying the monster before us. We shall aid you in the prospect of defeating the vile monster that could destroy worlds." Pristina stated as she actually slightly bowed.

[Pristina.]
"Goddess!" Pristina thought or rather spoke in her thoughts as the Goddess of Light Luminaria started talking to her directly.
[Let the demon help. That is a World Eater Parasite. It is not a being that you can defeat unless I descend myself.]
"But goddess! He is a demon!" Pristina grumbled.
[The faith of the people there is already waving because of your own hubris. I need all the faith that I can get so I can descend when the time comes. Let the demon deal with the worm but look polite while doing it. I need the faith of the people be restored. Do so and I will reward you.]
"Yes. My goddess." Pristina replied as she bit her lips as she bowed down to Adrian.

"I guess that is as humble as one can be. Now, was that hard?" Adrian stated.
"Do not press further demon! Our holy eminence has already showed you humility. It is now time for your end of the bargain." One of the paladins beside Pristina stated but it was clearly one of the angels.
"I get it. Do not worry because I will deal with the World Eater Parasite. Dodu, you can now feast!" Adrian stated as he released the small iridescent slime like being clinging on his body.
"Affirmative!" Dodu stated as he created a small tentacle and did a salute.
A lot of the players know of Dodu as it is a slime monster that was tamed by Equinox. It is also incredibly cute, but they know that Dodu's real size was not ten meters. They know that Dodu is actually just two meters big at most. How could a small slime be able to deal with a monster that cannot be damaged by even the mages with great fire power that defeated a Behemoth?
Dodu locked onto the World Eater Parasite and the monster that was minding its own business started to create noises. The players and even the NPCs noticed the behavioral change in the World Eater Parasite as it is now feeling threatened. What they could not wrap their head around is the fact that a ten-meter-long monster is being threatened by a one-foot-tall slime.
"Dodu, do not play with your food. It might run away, and I promise you that it will be difficult in tracking." Adrian stated as it seems that Dodu has inherited its master's naughty side.
"Sowwy." Dodu stated in a cute tone which melted the hearts of the players that love it but all the players almost gasped for air on what happened next.
Dodu suddenly became a large clump of numerous slimes like itself and became as tall as the World Eater Parasite. Dodu might not be ten meters long, but it is still a gigantic being that made the World Eater Parasite hiss. Dodu did not care of the reaction of the World Eater Parasite as it created numerous tentacles to lock onto the parasite.
The World Eater Parasite started squealing in pain as Dodu's tentacles melted its extremely tough hide. The outer shell that the players tried to destroy is now being melted effortlessly by a huge slime monster that they are witnessing for the first time. All of the people there are terrified as they were witnessing something that is not possible in their own realm.
The World Eater Parasite started to squirm and tried to get away from Dodu, but it could not. Dodu was already using its domain in the area and only those with a domain could feel it. The World Eater Parasite could no longer easily move because of the restriction as Dodu started to swallow it whole. The human army that has yet to see such a scene is horrified.
The cute little slime that they though were harmless was now easily putting the World Eater Parasite inside of its stomach. The scene only took one minute for the entire ten-meter-long World Eater Parasite to get inside of Dodu's gigantic stomach. As soon as the last piece of the World Eater Parasite was inside of Dodu, a notification suddenly popped up.
[You have defeated a World Eater Parasite (Young)]
[You have gained experience points from defeating such a creature.]
All the players there heard the notification as they contributed to the defeat of the World Eater Parasite even if they barely made a dent on its health.
