The Sea Goddess's Light of Life ability was closely tied to her heart. The firmer her resolve, the more powerful her Light of Life became.
Simply put, it was an ability powered by conviction. Even Chthon found the Sea Goddess in this state somewhat troublesome.
Of course, only somewhat troublesome. Chthon was confident he could defeat the Sea Goddess and corrupt her. To be honest, he was even more excited now than before.
What fun was there in corrupting an ordinary goddess compared to corrupting a pure, steadfast one? Chthon did not have many hobbies, having lived for far too long, but corrupting kind people had always been his unchanging favorite pastime. It was truly exhilarating.
Chthon focused all his attention on the Sea Goddess, unaware that Andrew had already replicated the prototype of the Sea Goddess's Right Hand in the Reality World.
"The Sea Goddess hasn't disappointed me. Her faith is so firm that I'll gain quite a few benefits this time."
Andrew nodded in satisfaction. At that moment, the prototype of the Sea Goddess's Right Hand had finished replicating, and Andrew sent the Sea Goddess's soul—merely a knockoff soul in the Illusion Realm—into the prototype.
Then, the prototype of the Sea Goddess's Right Hand turned around and actively absorbed the Divine Power and Power of Rules from the right hand. At the same time, a massive amount of Data Stream appeared, transforming the new Sea Goddess's Right Hand.
As before, in order to draw in the Sea Goddess, the Data Stream contained quite a few insights into rules. Though the Sea Goddess's soul was asleep, she still instinctively absorbed those insights.
The insights she absorbed deepened her mastery of Light of Life. It was not impossible for Chthon to take her down, but it would require more time.
