“Boom!!!”
The towering pillar of light transcended the barriers between realms, descending directly upon the green-haired girl. The roaring waves of energy and overwhelming divinity caused almost everyone present to involuntarily step back in awe.
Only Violet and the young dragon girl, who had truly reached and far surpassed the realm of gods, managed to maintain their stability.
Even figures like Minchen and Eileen, with their considerable strength, couldn’t help but show astonishment in the presence of this majestic divine aura.
“So this is... the true power of an undiminished and unrestrained deity? It’s like night and day...”
Supporting the girl who stumbled back unconsciously, a young man in ash-gray robes spoke with a clear and steady voice, tinged with seriousness.
“Yes, this is the true essence of a deity. Back then, with just a few avatars, they effortlessly crushed countless mythological beings. Child, grasp this opportunity and truly feel it. You’re not far from that realm now. Don’t waste this exceptional chance.”
“......”
Despite the recent intense battle between them, feeling the warmth of the broad hand on her shoulder, Eileen couldn’t muster the thought of pushing it away mercilessly as she had done last time. She simply nodded silently.
Soon after, the pillar of light dissipated, revealing the familiar face of the green-haired girl once more.
She still bore the familiar appearance of Theresa, but now intricate and mysterious runes akin to branches appeared on her forehead.
Azure light shimmered in her beautiful eyes, and her feet naturally hovered three inches above the ground, as if she were a supreme spirit transcending the mortal realm. Her presence had undergone a profound and earth-shaking transformation.
Character is something that cannot be described but certainly exists. If Theresa usually gave the impression of a lively and cheerful girl next door, innocent yet obedient, the current her exuded an additional sense of unapproachable dignity in that familiar aura, as if looking directly into her azure eyes would be a grave offense.
Perhaps, at this moment, it would be more appropriate to address her as “They.”
“Hey, long time no see, Sethlin. Didn’t expect you to directly descend upon the gate portal. That’s quite impressive~”
While everyone else was awed by the supreme divinity emanating from Theresa, only Violet approached with a cheerful smile and greeted her without much awe. Upon seeing her, the Goddess of Life, appearing in the form of Theresa, also smiled knowingly.
“Long time no see, Violet. I’ve been observing everything you’ve been up to. This matter was successfully resolved thanks to your intervention.”
The two women, with their deep bond, exchanged a smile that conveyed everything without words. Then, Sethlin turned her head, her gaze friendly yet carrying an invisible sense of authority, sweeping over everyone present, lingering longest on Tiyelu, Minchen, and Eileen. Afterward, she seemed to casually glance towards a distant cottage before turning back.
“The Spirit Butterfly Tribe... It’s been a while. Miss Overseer of the Demon God’s Palace. Olivia brought you along during the Divine Council over three thousand years ago, if I recall correctly.”
“Hmm?”
Studying Sethlin’s face intently for a long while, Tiyelu’s expression also turned more serious.
“You are... Lady Seth? I thought so. How else would the Goddess of Life appear out of nowhere? But I remember later on, the side of Order shouldn’t have...”
The Goddess smiled slightly.
“This is a long story. If you’re interested, you can try asking Violet. However, I’m glad. Thousands of years have passed, yet there are still old acquaintances lingering in the world... Even if it’s in this manner. Though I didn’t have a deep friendship with Olivia, we were once both major deities, hehe...”
After briefly greeting Tiyelu, Sethlin turned her gaze to the Gatekeeper, Minchen.
“You... have a unique scent about you, similar yet different from Violet’s. It’s an interesting life... Minchen, isn’t it? I’ve actually been watching you for quite some time. Here’s some advice for you: it’s best to use less of powers that don’t belong to your own realm. The gifts of the world are never given without conditions.”
Facing the deity, Minchen’s expression also became notably serious. After bowing his head slightly in respect, he cautiously asked,
“Thank you for your guidance, Lady Sethlin. But may I ask what exactly you mean? Could you elaborate?”
However, Sethlin just smiled lightly.
“The cycle of cause and effect, endlessly repeating. Some things cannot be explained, nor should they be. Think carefully about what you have gained and lost from beginning to end. Even though I may not fully understand your past, I can guess the general idea. Beware, Conqueror, and take care of yourself.”
“......”
Minchen frowned and fell into silence, while the Goddess of Life paid no mind, only sighing lightly as she glanced at Eileen and injected a stream of green light into her.
“Eh!”
The speed wasn’t fast, but it seemed to contain a certain rule and principle. Even Eileen, who had reached over Iv80, couldn’t avoid it completely. It was only after the light entered her body that the gray-haired girl seemed to gradually react, showing surprise.
“What are you doing?!”
The exclamation didn’t come from Eileen, but from Silvina, who had appeared beside her holding a magic sword, seemingly intending to intercept the light but failing due to the influence of that law-like power.
Thus, the disparity in their realms was clearly judged.
The Goddess seemed indifferent to Silvina’s attempt to intervene with her weapon, calmly stating, “To bear the power of the divine with a mortal body—is it something anyone can easily achieve? That girl doesn’t have the blessed bloodline you do. Although Violet helped reshape her life and remove the effects of previous overload, relying solely on the bloodline of a half-demon, how long do you think she can hold on?”
“What? Eileen, you didn’t say...!”
At these words, Silvina was suddenly shocked, but seeing the girl beside her avoiding her gaze, she understood a lot. Just as she turned anxiously to say something to Sethlin, the Goddess had already extended her hand towards where the seed of the divine tree was planted.
“Take good care of and protect the divine tree. If you stay by its side, at least the flower of this girl’s life will not wither. My words end here. Half-demons who usurp Olivia’s authority, take care of yourselves.”
Speaking, Sethlin’s palm emitted a burst of green light, transforming into a rosy shadow.
“In the name of life, sprout!”
“Splash!”
The light flowed into the earth, and tender shoots broke through the soil. Subsequently, under the infusion of divine life power, they began to grow at a visible speed.
“Boom... rumble rumble rumble...”
The verdant color spread out, and in just half a minute, the divine tree had grown to over ten meters high. It continued to stretch towards the distant sky, unfolding millions of branches and turning into a lush giant tree, causing vibrations akin to the rumbling of the earth!
“Violet, come here.”
“Alright! Oh, by the way, doesn’t this scene feel somewhat familiar...”
As she continued to joke while keeping her initial intent, Miss Priestess approached the Goddess with a young wolf cub in her arms.
Meanwhile, Novia seemed to sense something unusual, behaving unusually by not wriggling around in her arms. Her gem-like eyes were fixed on the rapidly growing divine tree.
Just as Violet was about to do something, the little white wolf suddenly broke free from her embrace and jumped onto the ground, letting out a childish roar towards the divine tree of life.
