In the chambers of the Enchantress Queen that night.
Zhang Chen arrived as promised, accompanied by three little kittens.
All the other elven attendants had withdrawn, leaving only the Enchantress Queen reclining on the bed, draped in pale pink silk curtains.
She wore a lace nightgown as thin as cicada wings, her eyes hazy as she gazed at Zhang Chen.
When she noticed the three kittens behind him, she was momentarily taken aback.
However, she quickly relaxed.
After all, he was a true god, immensely powerful; it was normal for him to have companions.
"True God, you've arrived!"
The Enchantress Queen spoke in a sweet, alluring voice.
"Mm, let's first discuss dealing with the Mother Cult's puppet army, and then I'll address your issue."
"The Mother Cult isn't much of a threat; that part will be quick. Your matter, however, is more troublesome. With my current abilities, it might take quite some time."
Zhang Chen said, frowning.
He activated his Absolute Vision and discovered that at night, the flaws in the Enchantress Queen's core crystal became much more apparent.
It was manageable during the day, but the problem was significantly more severe now.
"The longer, the better. I'm prepared to stay up all night!"
The Enchantress Queen said with a smile, her eyes like rippling green waves as she looked at Zhang Chen, her tongue lightly tracing her lips.
If not for the difference in their status, she might have already rushed towards him.
"Mm, it's best you have that resolve."
"First, regarding the Mother Cult's puppets, I suspect the Black Feather Swallow Legion may have been infiltrated."
"But their specific objectives remain unknown, and I need to increase personnel for investigation."
"The Enchantress race are natural hunters, adept at tracking, reconnaissance, and stealth. This needs to be done now."
"Simultaneously, I need information about the Empire's royal city, the more detailed the better."
Zhang Chen commanded in an organized manner.
"Yes, no problem. In fact, Enchantress scouts are already spread across most of the world."
"So, any slight move by the Mother Cult is within our predictions. Even if the True God hadn't arrived, we had already made preparations to some extent."
"As for imperial news, that's no issue. By tomorrow morning, before bedtime, I will provide you with a complete and detailed report."
The Enchantress Queen spoke, wriggling on the bed as if she had no bones.
"Mm, that's all for the tactics. Next is your matter!"
Zhang Chen stood up, his outer robe automatically shedding and landing on the chair back.
"Mm, I've been waiting for this moment."
The Enchantress Queen nodded impatiently.
"The entire process might be a bit painful, so bear with it!"
Zhang Chen said.
"No problem, I can accept immense power! The stronger, the better!"
The Enchantress Queen said with a smile.
"Good, then I won't hold back. The magnitude of this energy might far exceed your imagination."
"Since you're not afraid of pain, I'll accelerate the process. I initially thought I'd have to proceed slowly. You truly are an Enchantress Queen, more resilient than I imagined!"
Zhang Chen nodded encouragingly before sitting on the bed.
"Come on! Don't hold back!"
The Enchantress Queen wrapped her delicate arms around Zhang Chen's neck.
"Then, let's begin..."
Zhang Chen gently removed the Enchantress Queen's arms from his neck, then pushed her forward forcefully, pinning her onto the bed.
Immediately after, a surge of powerful energy erupted from within him, directly connecting to the Enchantress Queen's energy core.
"Hmm? Wasn't it supposed to be... that? Why is it different from what I imagined?"
The Enchantress Queen was slightly surprised.
Suddenly, she felt a powerful energy injected into her internal energy core.
The energy that had been circulating within her body became unstable, and her body began to twitch with the runaway energy.
"I... I can't control myself, what's happening?!"
"Was it like this for you before?"
The Enchantress Queen asked the three little kittens standing beside her, her face filled with terror.
"Our energy cores aren't damaged, so they don't need repair."
"Our situations are different, meow!"
"Master is sweating on his forehead, it seems repairing the energy core is indeed very energy-consuming!"
The three kittens spoke one after another.
Miaoyin: "Ah, what if Master gets too tired and faints again?"
Miaocui chuckled and patted her little chest proudly, saying: "It's okay, I have a secret technique that can help Master recover quickly. Remember? Master fainted last time, and it was me who woke him up!"
Miaoke shook her head helplessly and explained: "That was different. Last time it was due to an energy shock, but this time it's exhaustion. Your trick might not work!"
Miaoyin slapped her forehead, a flash of inspiration striking her: "Right, wasn't Master looking for pink crystals? We can ask the Wood Elf Queen and Water Elf Queen to help us find them. Perhaps using these can restore Master's energy?!"
Hearing this suggestion, Miaoke and Miaocui both found it feasible.
"Then we'll split up. Miaocui, you stay here. If the situation becomes critical and we can't find the pink crystals in time, you take your emergency measures!"
"Miaoyin, you and I will go separately to find the Wood Elf Queen and the Water Elf Queen. We must find the pink crystals!"
Miaoke arranged them in an orderly fashion.
"Meow! Leave it to me!"
"Okay, sister!"
The two kittens immediately set off.
At this moment, the Enchantress Queen finally understood Zhang Chen's intentions. Her own perspective had been too narrow.
It turned out Zhang Chen had noticed the flaws in her energy core and wanted to replenish it.
"But... even the Dark Queen couldn't mend this energy core... True God... if you wish to mend it... I'm afraid... ah... it will consume a great deal of your vitality!"
The Enchantress Queen, Emyr, said with a pale face and a weak voice.
With problems in her energy core, she was completely immobile. Her ability to speak was already remarkable.
"Consumption is certain, but it's worth it."
"I will not let my followers live with defects and suffering."
"Actually, repairing the energy core within you doesn't take much time, but I need to use your energy core to create energy resonance with the core crystals of all Enchantresses."
"To put it simply, I need to repair the energy core crystals of all Enchantresses simultaneously, so you no longer have defects!"
"This process... phew... might... take longer... I don't know what my current body can achieve..."
Drip... drip...
As Zhang Chen spoke, large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.
There was no way around it; at best, he was currently a semi-spirit possessing a body he had created.
He wasn't yet a perfectly integrated physical being.
Otherwise, such a task wouldn't be so strenuous.
"Hmm? Master seems to be weakening. Perhaps... I need to give him some vigorous encouragement!"
Miaocui thought with a pout, looking at the pale-faced Zhang Chen.
