“Was I the kind of person you thought would do something like this? Oh, I’m so sad...”
Feigning a few sobs, wiping away tears that didn’t exist at the corners of her eyes, someone skillfully and quickly changed the subject before the Goddess of Life could erupt in anger.
“So, the channels you’ve observed opening up in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains lead to the 【Upper Dimensional Realm】 and 【Lower Dimensional Realm】? What kind of impact will that have? And what level of powerful individuals can these channels accommodate?”
Bombarded with several questions, Sethlin knew the priestess’s intentions but had little choice but to sigh and explain one by one.
“Firstly, the fundamental world and the material world have significant differences in their existence and form, and they typically do not connect directly. However, in the area you mentioned, if I remember correctly, it used to be the domain protected by the Demon God Olivia. The 【Lower Dimensional Realm】 is closely related to the ‘magic’ represented by the demon god, so it’s hard to say that there won’t be certain special circumstances.”
“As for the capacity of this large-scale passage and the potential consequences of its activation, I can only say that for beings below the True God level, it should be unobstructed. Once the Foundation World is forcibly connected to the Material World, a conceptual-level grand fusion will occur. The specific details are difficult to describe, but the suffering of all living beings is inevitable. If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of informing you about this matter.”
“Is that so... So it’s happening here...”
“What’s happening here?”
Sethlin looked somewhat curious and puzzled. Violet didn’t hide anything and proceeded to inform the Goddess of Life about Menna’s situation and the two impending disasters she foresaw.
“That’s interesting... Among mortal beings, there are still individuals like this emerging, those favored by God... Ha...”
Although it seemed like she had thought of something, Sethlin chose not to say it directly, but instead cautioned.
“Since she has already predicted disasters in the south, it’s highly likely that the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains will also be affected. Violet, you must be careful, and... I know it might not be appropriate to say this, but if possible, I hope you can lend a hand to those beings and prevent the arrival of this great disaster... Can you?”
Oh dear, how kind-hearted the Goddess of Life truly is, unable to bear seeing everyone suffer. This must be her true purpose~
Although she still wanted to tease the adorable Miss Sethlin a bit more, Violet couldn’t pretend anymore, especially since she had specially communicated over here out of concern. Violet didn’t want to appear insincere by discussing conditions, especially since this was something she intended to do anyway.
“Okay~ I’ll consider intervening depending on the situation. And don’t worry too much, the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains have their own protectors, who are both powerful and strategic. They have already foreseen the anomaly and begun proactive preparations. If all else fails, I’ll step in as a backup.”
“Alright, hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. Anyway, as I always say, since it involves unknown worlds, Violet, you must be extremely cautious. Never let your guard down. And if you encounter danger, don’t forget to use the item I gave you.”
“I know, I know, Sethlin, why are you so talkative, just like an old lady? We’re done here unless there’s something else!”
“Oh? Um... alright then... until next time.”

Probably realizing that continuing the conversation would never end, the bluish light that had appeared on the statue gradually dissipated, returning to its body, and the shimmering light on the surface finally fell silent.
“Tock, tock, tock...”
Tapping her index finger rhythmically on the damp tabletop by the window, Violet casually placed the item Sethlin had given her back into her backpack, then looked up at the vast, pitch-black world outside, akin to a mouth waiting to devour its prey on this stormy night. However, a faint smile gradually curved her lips, showing a sense of pleasure.
“It’s finally about to begin!”
............................................
As time passed, in the blink of an eye, Violet and the others had been staying in the Moon Shadow Valley for a full week.
During this week, heavy rain poured down for several days without any sign of stopping, but instead intensified. The sky was filled with gloomy clouds that pressed down like a city, making even daytime seem dim and murky. The sunlight had not directly spread across the mountains for several days.
Located in the central part of the continent, the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains didn’t have the pleasant climate of the Human United Kingdom or the Azure Sky Kingdom, but it was not overly cold either.
However, with the continuous heavy rain, it seemed that the cold air from the northern snowy regions was gradually approaching. Over the past few days, everyone had added more clothing.
Until today.
“Ah, this is really... somewhat nostalgic.”
Reaching out to catch a piece of crystalline white flower falling into her palm, the priestess, still dressed in a thin white robe, couldn’t help but sigh.
“Huh... Wow! Snow! Is this really snow?!”
“Yes, I didn’t expect the snow to come so early this year. The weather here is really quite strange...”
Walking beside Violet, Theresa and Edwina also exclaimed with surprise at the sudden appearance of white flowers in the sky. They had thought that the temporary cessation of the rain this morning signaled the end of the downpour, but it turned out to be paving the way for this first snowfall.
“Miss Edwina seems quite calm. Have you experienced this before? To be honest, the climate in the Nobos Iron-Blood Empire is too hot. This is the first time I’ve seen real snow in my life.”
The Holy Knight, asked by her companions, smiled and nodded.
“It’s true. The Holy Empire’s Capital, Angel City, is even further north than here. It’s not too far from the Snowy Realms, and there’s no natural barrier like the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains blocking the cold air. It’s much colder than the Human United Kingdom, and snow in winter is quite common. I grew up in the Capital, so I’ve seen plenty of snow.”
“Wow... That sounds nice. I can’t help but feel a little envious.”
Looking at the bright gleam in Theresa’s eyes, Edwina seemed somewhat skeptical.
“Snow isn’t necessarily all good. A few times or if it’s not too heavy, it’s okay. But if you encounter persistent, widespread snowfall, it can easily lead to road blockages, collapsing houses, and damage to plants. Dealing with all of this requires a lot of manpower and resources, disaster relief, and it’s costly.”
“Is, is that so? I never thought about that... Miss Edwina, you truly are a noble of the Holy Empire.”
“What noble?...”
Hearing this, the Holy Knight immediately explained with a hint of helplessness but seriousness.
“Theresa, you’ve got it wrong. The Holy Empire is different from the Human United Kingdom, the Austre Empire, and other countries. Although it’s called an empire, there’s no such thing as kings or noble classes. We’re all devout and equal followers of the Goddess, and the Church and the Divine Families just have the responsibility of guiding the people, not ruling over them.”
“If you go to the Holy Empire, you can’t just throw around words like ‘nobles’ casually, it’s considered taboo.”
“Oh, I see...”
