Chapter 674 Chapter 674:- Another Fallen
A super pretty woman in a black dress was slowly walking towards the Palace of the City Lord. Looking at her face, one would say that she was an angel who had descended from Heaven.
She had pale white skin. She had black pupils. She was about 5 feet 5 inches tall. She had long beautiful silver hair. Though most of her beautiful hair was hidden under the black hood that was also a part of her dress.
She had very skinny arms and a skinny body. As for other features of her body such as her waist size, or how her chest and back looked like, none of that could be seen because of the black dress that she was wearing.
The dress reached beyond her ankle. The dress someone seemed to hide even her feet and the shoes that she was wearing. The black dress was full-sleeved. Only the wrists of her arms were exposed. As she walked, parts of her dress dragged on the ground. But if one looked carefully, even though the dress touched the ground, no dust, dirt, mud, or filthy seems to dirty the dress at all.
She had one of the prettiest faces in the whole world.
She had this otherworldly Aura around her that made her stand out from the crowd. Just looking at her, one knew that something was very special about this woman. After all, she was a Goddess. The Goddess of Light.
Behind her, there was a crowd of more than just a few thousand. With each minute, the number was only increasing.
The crowd was mostly made up of men. It was very hard to spot a woman in the crowd. And all of the men in the crowd were holding some kind of weapon as if they were following their Goddess to the battlefield.
From the distance, the City Lord of Myra noticed a huge crowd was marching towards his Palace. Seeing the huge crowd, even the City Lord became very concerned. After all, even with his troops, it would be a headache to deal with this huge crowd. Not to mention if even a thousand of the people in the crowd were to be killed, then even if he tries to suppress the news, sooner or later, it would reach the ears of the Hephaestus Kingdom's King. And when that happens, he is going to be in deep trouble.
Besides, the City Lord had worked hard to create a positive image. He did not want his positive image to collapse. If he was exposed, then there would be no way of getting himself out of this.
The reason he maintains this positive image is because this image of his is his ticket to safety. If someday, the King of the Hephaestus Kingdom finds out about what is happening in Myra and summons him. Then he could put all the blame on the corrupt officials and guards under him. He could have a way to prove himself innocent.
"What is happening?" Asked the City Lord Zorion. He was frowning seeing this.
Lord Zorion was 198 years old. In just two years, he was going to complete his double century. Back on earth, this would have been a huge accomplishment. But in the world of cultivation, Zorion was still very young.
Zorion stood at the height of 5 feet 8 inches which was around 175 cm. He was tanned-skinned and had brown pupils. He had curly black hair that reached his neck.
His looks were intimidating. He had sharp eyes. He had a sharp nose and well-defined jawline, which gave him a slightly handsome appearance.
He wore a White Shirt with long sleeves folded to his elbows and black pants.
"Sir, the Goddess of Light is here." One of the guards reported.
"Did this bring this crowd with her?" Zorion asked the guard in a displeased tone.
"No, sir. She did not tell the crowd to come along. This huge crowd has followed her here." The guard replied.
'She did not tell the crowd to not follow her either. She is smart. She knows that with the support of the crowd, she will have more power in our meeting. But that does mean she should underestimate me.' Zorion thought as he had a savage grin on his face.
"Bring her in. I want to see her." Zorion ordered with a smile on his face.

Scene change______
While the massive crowd that made up 1/10th of the entire Myra City's population waited outside of the City Lord's Palace, the Goddess, and the elites of the Myra City were currently going to have a meeting.
The room was filled with various gang leaders. Zorion was also sitting in the room.
In such a short period of time, the news of the Goddess had reached the ears of everyone in the room. Knowing this everyone gathered here to meet the Goddess.
Everyone had a personal agenda to meet Luna. Everyone wanted to use Luna for their own gains.
Click.....!!!
As the door of the meeting room opened, and as she walked inside, almost half of the men inside the room were stunned and instantly captivated by the beauty of Luna.
'This woman is more beautiful than I thought.' Zorion thought in his mind as Luna walked inside.
"Sit down...!!" Zorion ordered her.
But Luna simply stood facing Zorion and shook her head. "I did not come here to sit. I came here to give you all one last warning. Stop all of your illegal activities. Your desire for profit is hurting the people of this city. Thousands upon thousands of innocents are dying of starvation."
Hearing these words, a mocking smile formed on Zorion's face. "Is this why you have come here?"
Luna did not respond. There was coldness in her eyes.
"I am sorry to disappoint you but it seems you have come here for nothing. You see, I was hoping that we would have a peaceful conversation and I could hopefully learn more about you. But it seems, this is no longer possible."
"Shut up, Zorion. How dare you talk to Lady Luna in that tone?" One of the gang leaders stood up and shouted at Zorion.
This left Zorion and many others stunned, shocked, and in disbelief.
'What happened to him?' Zorion secretly wondered in his mind.
'Is he drunk?' Zorion wondered in his mind. He did not get angry. Instead of being angry, Zorion was more stunned because he never had expected Jaxith to defend someone like Luna.
Jaxith was the gang leader of one of the most powerful gangs in Myra. Jaxith was a very cold and calculating person. To him, women were nothing but toys that he regularly played with. So seeing him defending a woman had stunned everyone to their cores. Everyone even wondered if this was the same Jaxith that they knew.
Sigh...!!!
Zorion sighed out loud and helplessly said. "Jaxith, if you're still drunk then I suggest you take some rest. We can discuss this matter later."
"Someone please take Jaxith to the guest bedrooms." Zorion ordered.
Jaxith walked up to Luna and then stood behind her while facing Zorion. "Zorion, I am not drunk. Let me make this clear, if you do not show respect to Lady Luna and apologize to her for your behavior then from now on we will be bitter enemies. Even if I have to lose everything, I will make sure I kill you."
Hearing these words, Zorion's right eye twitched heavily. He was very irritated.
Zorion had run out of patience.
Especially, the last sentence had completely angered him.
"Jaxith, you better remember where you're standing. You better pick your next words carefully as your next words might decide your fate." Zorion wasn't afraid of Jaxith.
"Apologize or face my sword," Jaxith spoke as if he hadn't listened to a word that Zorion had said till now.
'What happened to Jaxith?'
'Just a few minutes ago, he was talking about doing all sorts of stuff to this woman. But now he is suddenly protecting.' Others wondered in their minds.
Meanwhile, something shocking happened. Following Jaxith, 9 others stood up and stood behind Luna.
"We follow Goddess Luna. Zorion, if you do not apologize to Luna, then we will kill you."
Hearing all of this, Zorion's face had turned red from anger.
"Good....!! Very Good....!! Since you all have taken your stance, then I am also going to take my stance. From this moment onwards, we will be enemies. Today, I will make sure that none of you walk out of this Palace alive." Zorion released his killing intent.
"Calm down, you all." Suddenly Luna had a smirk on her face. Seeing her face, Zorion felt that something was wrong here.
The next second a golden light came out of Luna's body.
The golden light lasted for a few seconds.
Zorion opened his eyes. He suddenly felt that the world around him had changed so much. Everything felt much brighter and more colorful.
"What was I doing this entire time?" Zorion fell to his knees as he started sobbing.
Luna started walking towards Zorion.
Luna ignored Zorion.
She sat on the throne on which he was sitting just a moment ago.
She crossed her legs and looked down at her new followers in satisfaction.
"And just like this, another City has fallen. I have more devoted followers now."
