The Ambrosial Arbor and Possibilities (Continued)

Sasha didn't think much of it, opened her mouth, curled her little tongue, and ate it, her little face immediately scrunching up—

"So sour—"

Why is it so sour!

Despite her cries of pain, the girl did not spit it out, but instead chewed it twice and swallowed it.

"Did it go bad?"

Sasha stuck out her little tongue, then suspiciously picked two grapes and ate them, only to find they still tasted the familiar sweetness, which made the girl even more confused.

However, when Sasha saw the smile on Gwen's lips, her eyes widened in shock—

"Brother Gwen, you're playing tricks on me again."

"How can you call this playing around? Sasha, you can 'ambush' me, so of course I can 'fight back' too."

With a smile, Gwen took out a bunch of green grapes, picked two, ate one, and put the other to Sasha's lips.

"One more?"

"Who would want to eat something so sour..."

The girl said irritably, but still swallowed the sour grape that made her stick out her little tongue.

"There will be times when I like it in the future."

Gwen savored the sour taste on his tongue and said with a smile.

"No way..."

Sasha quickly stuffed several sweet grapes into her mouth to wash away the sourness with sweetness, and then confidently retorted.

Even so, Sasha had no intention of letting Gwen put away the sour grapes—

"However, these sour grapes are perfect for Manigoldo and Cardia."

"How did they offend you?"

Gwen asked instinctively.

"Those two guys said I'm not tall enough..."

Sasha blurted out the truth, but quickly covered her mouth halfway through, her big green eyes blinking as she stared at Gwen.

"Alright, let's go find Sage and the others. If we don't get out soon, I'm afraid he'll come and ask me if I'm planning to assassinate the Goddess."

Gwen silently moved on from the previous topic, and stood up with a smile.

"It couldn't possibly be an assassination attempt..."

Seeing that Gwen didn't mention what he had just said, Sasha breathed a sigh of relief and picked up where Gwen left off.

When they arrived at the side hall of the Papal Palace, Sage and Crestor were already waiting for them with great anticipation.

"..."

Sage gave the two young men a deep look, but didn't ask why they had taken so long to return. He waited until they were seated before speaking.

"Final Confirmation of the Plan—"

My senior Crestor and I set up a seal within Gwen as a prison for Hades' soul. Sasha used her God Cosmo to lock it, which also served as a secondary seal to prevent Hades' soul from prying into the outside world.

Once the seal is complete, leave immediately, making it difficult for Hades' soul to summon his own God Cosmo.

Without the support of the God Cosmo, Hades' soul could never break the seal, let alone affect you who have already broken through to the Eighth Sense.

"Confirm."

Gwen nodded, and after the other two nodded as well, he said—

"But before that, I have some things to leave behind."

"What?"

Sasha asked curiously.

"This--"

A dazzling golden light surged from Gwen's body, separating from him to reveal his true form, which caused the other three to freeze in surprise—

"Such a vibrant life force."

Sage exclaimed in astonishment.

Crestor checked the situation of the barrier before speaking.

"If a barrier hadn't been set up in advance, the news would have spread throughout the entire Holy Domain in an instant."

"This aura..."

Sasha frowned as she looked at the wooden stake, as if she had thought of something.

"This is one of the Divine Miracle bestowed by the Abundance Star God of my world, the Abundance Jianmu. The Xianzhou native have achieved immortality by studying it."

Gwen gave a brief explanation, which immediately made the three of them realize something—

"No wonder..."

"Brother Gwen, you also obtained this Jianmu from the battle against the Annihilation Lord?"

Sasha exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right."

Gwen nodded.

"Anyway, this thing has been going up in price ever since it was activated, so I took the opportunity to keep a piece for myself—"

Sasha, you should investigate this. If you can help Sage- sensei, Bai Li- senpai, and Crestor- senpai recover some of their health, the Sanctuary's chances of winning will increase significantly.

"Okay, I will do my best."

Upon hearing this, Sasha nodded without hesitation, her emerald eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"Gwen has brought me this opportunity, I will definitely seize it."

"Sasha ..."

Sage, however, seemed to have thought of something and wanted to say something.

"Sage, this is a rare item obtained by the Holy Land on Earth, and it does not violate any rules."

Sasha guessed what Sage was going to say and interrupted the spellcasting with a grin.

"...All right."

After exchanging glances with Sasha for a moment and realizing that she had made a decision, Sage considered the situation of this Holy War again and nodded.

"... You're so thoughtful."

Crestor glanced at Gwen and nodded.

"Of course."

Gwen laughed.

"After all, you've taught me a lot, and if your condition can recover... hehe..."

"Then this Holy War can be completely ended."

Sage's voice was tinged with an indescribable excitement.

"Alright, let's prepare for sealing Hades first!"

Sasha didn't linger on the matter of Jianmu, and took out a gleaming golden dagger.
