Although the scene was slightly different from the previous one when the outside world was shrouded in thick gray mist, the sense of disorientation conveyed through the pet contract was exactly the same as when facing the Illusionary Cloud.
Inside the 【Eternal Light’s Protection】, although there was an effect that prohibited space teleportation and constituted the illusionary space domain, the effect was significantly weakened a kilometer underground. After all, when Violet released it, she never anticipated encountering such a situation. She only covered an area of 300 meters below the surface as a minimum standard.
Violet didn’t rush to break through space using the same method again. On the one hand, this was actually underground, and messing around could potentially cause some troublesome situations. On the other hand, she also wanted to see what the other side intended to do.
Soon, the somewhat hazy gray space stabilized, and the scene quickly became clear and bright.
Where Violet was located, it was in front of a grand and majestic temple standing on the earth.
Strangely, Xiao Guang, Edwina, Epunia, and others also appeared beside the priestess. The other side seemingly had no intention of separating them, as was done before.
Only Leila and Rene, the winged sisters, were nowhere to be found.
“Tsk.”
The dragon girl tilted her head in dissatisfaction and looked at the black-haired girl with questioning eyes.
Clearly, being teased three times with the same move and losing the two girls who had been her playmates for over a month, the temperamental dragon lady was getting a bit impatient. Did the other side really think she had no way to deal with this thing?
“Be patient, just wait a little longer. This should be the end.”
Violet didn’t make any promises or say much. She just gently patted her pet’s head and took big strides toward the temple gate.
The little dragon girl, who understood her owner’s intention, temporarily suppressed the urge to completely destroy this place and quickly caught up with her.
Edwina and Mr. Epunia glanced at each other somewhat helplessly and quickly followed behind.
Although they were legendary beings that most ordinary people could only look up to in their lifetimes, in this mysterious and unpredictable place, it seemed that they were completely useless...
The temple formed by the illusory space was quite large, but the furnishings and arrangements were almost identical to the underground ritual ground seen earlier. Even the main character described in the murals was still the Goddess of Earth Seth, but with much more detail and delicacy.
If this temple was indeed a scene that had existed before, then the earlier underground ritual ground was evidently modeled after its construction.
In the center of the temple, magnified several times, there was also an altar, but on top of it, there was no longer a stone statue.
Seth, the Goddess of Earth, with long hair and a skirt resembling tree roots, stood upright on the altar. Her pale gray ethereal eyes gazed at the four people walking in from the temple door, or more accurately, at the priestess in black robes and the dragon behind her.
“To the people of the gods, why no reverence?”
The divine voice, though not loud, instantly crossed the temple, echoing in the minds of the four individuals. Intimidated by this will that seemed like a truth of the world, Epunia, the half-beast man, almost instinctively wanted to kneel.
Although Edwina was also affected, her gaze seemed somewhat confused. However, at this moment, a thin layer of nearly imperceptible golden radiance suddenly covered the surface of her body.
Like a divine blessing, the aura made the demeanor of the Holy Knight clear instantly. She hurriedly lifted Epunia, who had already knelt on the ground.
“Hmph, playing tricks as if you were a god!”
Perhaps the act of paying homage to a deity was just a normal ritual for the gods, but in the ears of the already unhappy dragon lady, it was nothing short of a significant provocation.
Coupled with Violet not showing any intention to stop her, Xiao Guang couldn’t bear it any longer.
In an instant, with the appearance of golden vertical pupils on her horns and tail, a terrifying pressure erupted, almost crushing the divine will pervading the temple. Even the figure of the Goddess of Earth on the altar suddenly became somewhat illusory.
Violet still didn’t stop her.
This thing was not the true Goddess of Earth Seth. Just like the remnant soul sealed in the statue in the priestess’s pocket, over the millennia, they had already split, changed, and formed almost individual entities.
The Goddess of Earth Seth had long since perished.
Neither a god nor qualified to claim to be one. To accept the respect of a god?
Just a pseudo-god.
If the other party was willing to set aside their pride and talk properly, Violet wouldn’t mind giving her a chance. After all, this person should know a lot of information.
However...
“Blasphemer, you are highly disrespectful! Prepare for the death of a myriad calamities!”
After being harshly struck by the little dragon girl, the will formed by the remnant soul of Seth finally showed signs of wavering. The false divinity instantly collapsed on its own, and at the moment she shouted this sentence in a desperate manner.
The air suddenly fell silent.
On the other side, due to the momentary stagnation of the atmosphere, the two mortals finally completely freed themselves from the suppression of divinity.
“What... is going on?”
The half-beast gentleman muttered quietly with little presence, but in the strange atmosphere engulfing the temple, his voice seemed as small as a mosquito. Edwina quickly made a hushing gesture to him.
The Holy Knight could sense that at that very moment, all the light elements around them, along with their owner, erupted with a tremendous rage.
The goddess was angry.
“The death of myriad calamities, huh....”
Violet stepped forward expressionlessly.
“Radiance.”
Rays of light spread out.
“Courage, wisdom.”
Two brilliant halos appeared behind the black-haired girl.

“Discipline, source, tenacity, protection, soaring, holy counter, eternity.”
Beneath her feet and behind her, colorful and dazzling lights continuously spread out.
With each uttered word, a new halo was bestowed upon the girl, elevating her momentum. This included the golden-haired dragon girl always by her side and the two bewildered adventurers standing still, all soaring like they were taking flight.
The strongest aura, for the first time, was completely, unreservedly displayed upon this world. So much so that with each step Violet took forward, the figure of the Goddess of Earth had to retreat under the oppressive force.
Stepping in front of the altar, the black-haired girl halted, facing the pseudo-god who had no way to retreat and was already standing on the edge of the altar.
Like a true deity descending to the mortal realm, under the radiant arcs behind and beneath her, the priestess, with an emotionless tone yet stagnating the breath of those present, slowly spoke.
“So, would you like to repeat what you just said?”
The figure of the Goddess of Earth, like a small boat in a storm, wavered illusionarily under the pressure. On her beautiful and sacred face, there was a flicker of uncertainty, much like the ordinary beings. But in the end, she seemed unable to tolerate being suppressed in this manner.
“You bunch of despicable...”
“Light.”
A gentle note, a radiant holy spear burst out from behind the black-haired girl, piercing directly into the chest of the Goddess of Earth, sending her flying out, person and spear embedded in the wall of the temple.
Violet continued to walk forward.
Even the most unruly Miss Dragon, at this moment, was intimidated by the aura emanating without reservation from the white-robed girl, not daring to make a sound.
The golden spirit of light rose from behind Violet. Under the amplification of 【Ten Eternal Light’s Protection】, even though Violet had not used any single-target enhancement skill, the terrifying level 110 aura had already caused the entire temple to continuously blur in trembling.
Embraced by the radiance, the girl arrived, pierced by the holy spear, but did not die. She could only hang in the air, futilely struggling under the feet of the pseudo-god.
Although looking up, her gaze was like that of a ruler looking down on insignificant ants.
“So, still dare to repeat that?”
