"Help! Help me!!!"

The cries for help carried far through the abandoned ruins.

"Robbery?" Kachina tilted her head slightly.

His face was expressionless.

Such things are common on the Kazar Plain: groups of greedy merchants try to make money beyond their means by taking risks here, but it seems they're going to lose their lives too.

Kachina crossed her arms and watched with great interest as the merchants desperately fled, stumbling and falling until they reached the statue of the Earth Goddess. There, they knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, praying for divine protection.

Kachina scoffed. A bunch of idiots. They never offer sacrifices normally, but now they're thinking of gods? Let alone the fact that this miracle is abandoned, even if it were truly effective, how could the great Earth Goddess possibly protect a bunch of insects like you?

Trash, fat pig, walking fat creature, disgusting worm... The people of Arcadia often hear Empress Kachina use these words to insult them, and if anyone accidentally gets in her way, something terrible is about to happen.

However, most of the time, the people who witnessed such things were afraid, but in their hearts they wanted to applaud and celebrate, because these fat guys made their money by exploiting them.

At this moment, the pursuing bandits also arrived in front of the statue. One of them swung his sword without hesitation and killed one of the merchants. The other merchants were so frightened that they scrambled up the altar, soiling themselves in fear.

The robbers laughed heartily.

Kachina smiled too.

She had no intention of saving those businessmen.

However, she planned to avenge those merchants after they died.

These Goddess fellows, let's just divide their bodies into four pieces each.

"... Compassionate Earth Goddess, omnipotent God of Gold who nurtures all civilizations, please save your devout people!!!"

"Still struggling."

Hearing the cries, Kachina curled her lip in disdain.

As soon as he finished speaking, the statue of the Earth Goddess suddenly flashed.

She looked astonished.

Illusion?

No, the light grew stronger and more dazzling, until even the bandits noticed it, until the blinding golden light covered everything in sight and exploded on the abandoned altar.

Boom!

The combination of the three divine powers caused a spatial explosion, leaving only a golden ball of power hovering in mid-air.

The merchants were blasted away, and the bandits retreated in panic. Kachina and the others leaped up and appeared in front of them, looking in surprise at the figure that was faintly visible in the golden light.

Snap.

The figure landed.

Ryan regained consciousness, opened his eyes and looked around, somewhat bewildered, before seeing the silver-haired girl in front of him.

Chapter 156 Kachina: Ryan, would you be my Prince? [10,000 views]

yi ling yi er er ba san ling jiu ba

Are you my master?

The air suddenly became quiet.

Even the bandits were filled with suspicion and uncertainty, glancing between Ryan and the statue of the Earth Goddess, not daring to make a move.

"A divine messenger?"

One of the robbers swallowed hard and couldn't help but say.

This ruin has been abandoned for many years. Some believers of the Earth Goddess come to worship here from time to time, but it's basically just a formality. Everyone knows that there is no god here at all!

Or rather, God is omnipresent, but the temple is abandoned, with no sacrifices or priests presiding over it. Could two believers really summon God's power by simply kowtowing? That seems impossible!

However, when Ryan appeared just now, he was indeed bathed in golden light, and with the blessing of the earth god's power, he was almost like a Gold Saint. Even so, he could still fool people.

Beside her, Kachina stared at Ryan with intense curiosity in her eyes.

"This is Kazar, the Earth Temple... no, the ruined temple. Who are you? Where do you come from? Are you an emissary of the Earth Goddess? Would you be interested in becoming my Prince?"

It's eye-catching, very eye-catching!

If those merchants were just fat pigs wallowing in the gutter in Kachina's eyes, then Ryan was practically an angel bathed in holy light!

She has outstanding looks, figure, and temperament, and in particular, she exudes an aura that makes people want to get close to her. You don't know what it is, but you just want to be near her.

It must be the influence of the earth's divine power.

Kachina guessed that even if Ryan wasn't Chosen of the Gods, he must have been someone with special talents who passed through the land and was favored by the Goddess. Otherwise, why would she feel close to him?

"The Kazar Plain?"

Ryan was stunned. What the hell? This is practically sending me all the way to the Eastern Continent?

Although the Chaos Space is always filled with various disorder, the route from Baron to the Western Territory is completely different from the route from Baron to Kazar, right?

"I might have gone to the wrong place from the start. That room is most likely occupied by the God of Desire. What about Haino? I hope nothing bad has happened to him."

Ryan looked around. He remembered his previous experience. Haino seemed to have been absent from the beginning. Perhaps the God of Desire wasn't interested in her, even though Haino had almost fallen because of the power of desire.

If he hadn't been protected by the power of Janus, the moon goddess, and the Earth Goddess, he probably would have been pulled into the room. If he had actually entered that room... ugh~ the consequences are unimaginable, he probably would never have come out!

Death is not scary; what's scary is living a life worse than death!

As he pondered, Ryan's gaze returned to the silver-haired girl in front of him, and he suddenly felt that she looked somewhat familiar.

Um...

Etc.

This guy is... Kachina?

"Empress Kachina?"

"It's me," Kachina giggled. "Are you from Arcadia?"

"Ah, I...yes!" Ryan nodded emphatically. "I am a devout follower of the Earth Goddess!"

"Can you tell me how you got here?"

"Well... I'm probably praying right now. It's my daily habit. I pray at least once a day to the great Goddess. As for why I'm here, I don't know."

"So that's how it is."

Kachina nodded with a smile.

Just as she thought, Ryan had no idea that he had been chosen by the Earth Goddess and transported here by divine power. The bewilderment he showed when he first appeared was not feigned.

"What's your name? What's your name?"

"Ryder, Rider Akatmir."

"Rider." Kachina smiled gracefully and extended her hand to Ryan: "Would you like to consider becoming my Prince?"

Ryan was stunned. "Prince? Your Empress, which Prince are you referring to?"

"Hehe~ Of course, you'll marry me and become Prince of the Arcadia Empire."

"..."

Ryan remained silent.

No, I was walking down the street when someone suddenly stopped me and asked me to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get my marriage certificate. What's going on?

Are all girls in this world this open-minded?

So, what are the personalities of the twin Kachina like again? According to Elvian, the younger sister seems cruel while the older sister seems rational, but actually, the older sister seems to be much crueler? As for the younger sister, she's the type who does whatever she wants?

He wants to marry her the moment they meet, he's really shameless!

Ryan resolutely refused. "Empress Majesty, I'm sorry, but I have long ago sworn never to marry and to serve the Goddess for the rest of my life, dedicating myself to spreading the faith of the Earth Goddess."

"Oh?"

Instead of getting angry after being rejected, Kachina's eyes lit up even more.

When she smiled, her eyes were bright and captivating, curving into the shape of crescent moons.

"What a devout believer. No wonder he was chosen by the Earth Goddess."

"Selected? Me?" Ryan exclaimed excitedly. "Really? When?!"

"Just now, didn't you feel it?" Kachina looked up at the statue of the Earth Goddess. "Rider, you are very devout, and also very lucky, which is why you were chosen by the Goddess."

"I feel... I feel..."

Ryan raised his hand, releasing the power of the Earth Mark, and golden light enveloped him once again.

Kachina watched with a smile, about to offer a few words of praise, when the merchants who had been thrown back scrambled over, kneeling on the ground and crying out, "Messenger of the Earth, please have mercy on us, the devout believers!!!"

Not far away, the bandits exchanged tense glances, and finally made up their minds. All eight of them turned and ran.

Regardless of whether Ryan is the messenger of the earth or not, this magical scene alone is enough to explain the problem. If Ryan had chosen to help those merchants, wouldn't it have been pure torture for Supernatural Being to fight ordinary people?

Even if Ryan doesn't help, will he let them go?

Therefore, whatever the outcome, it will be disadvantageous for them.

However, just as the eight people turned around and ran a short distance, a silver light flashed through the space, neatly slicing across their necks as if cutting through space itself. The next second, everyone froze in place, and blood spurted out from their necks in a split second!

Pfft!

His body and head separated, and he fell softly to the ground.

"Ahhh!!"

The merchants screamed in terror, fell to the ground and kicked their legs desperately. Blood mixed with the smell of excrement and urine filled the air, causing Kachina to frown.

"It's so noisy!"

Hiss~~

This time, Ryan heard a metallic scraping sound, like the swinging of chains, but he still couldn't see clearly what Kachina used to kill the merchants as well.

The crying and shouting stopped abruptly.

Ryan's lips twitched slightly. Damn, this guy is a killing machine. He kills people at the drop of a hat.

"Rider, don't misunderstand. I never kill people indiscriminately." When she looked at Ryan, Kachina immediately put on a smiling face. "Those bandits deserve to die. As for these merchants, have you ever heard the saying that there are few good people in the Kazar Plain? Merchants and bandits are the same kind of people. They all make their fortune in the chaotic area. They are more like devout believers than believers in wine and women. They are not worth saving at all."

"Is that so?"

"Of course it is. Did you think I would lie to you?"

"Oh, no, Her Your Majesty the Empress would never lie to me. It makes no sense."

"Hehe~ You know that's good."

Kachina nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go, let's leave here first, don't let these people spoil the scenery."

Where to?

"Hmm... let's go to the City of Sin. I need to find something there."

"But... I want to go home."

Although he had a way to save his life, Ryan felt it was better to stay away from this crazy, murderous woman for the time being, just to be on the safe side. This woman seemed very unpredictable, and her strength was hard to gauge. He didn't know if she was Sixth Tier or seventh rank, and he might not be able to defeat her with just the Blood Knight Character Card.

More importantly, this place is close to Arcadia. Who knows where the other twin is? Maybe he's nearby. If they start fighting and both of them attack together, he's definitely doomed.

However, if Ryan wanted to leave, how could Kachina allow it?

"Come with me to the City of Sin first, and I'll personally escort you back later," Kachina said with a smile. "How about it?"

Although it was a question to be asked, Ryan felt that if he refused, he might be 'taken away'—literally taken away. Glancing at the group of dismembered corpses, Ryan could only nod reluctantly.

Oh, Earth Goddess, what terrible things have you done!
