Take It Easy, Your Body Can't Handle It

"I just need a suitable body so that my broken and weakened soul can slowly recover. Not only will I not harm Angelica, I will even protect that girl and ensure she is not harmed in any way. You can rest assured about that. Once my soul recovers and can re-form a physical body, I will leave her body, although this process may take a very long time."

Qin Chu's solemn expression suddenly melted away like ice and snow. "That's good. I believe that the goddess would not deceive a mere mortal like me, right?"

"A mere mortal? You're quite modest about your own self-perception." Cynthia smiled slightly; a goddess is a goddess, even a faint smile exudes charm.

"There is an insurmountable chasm between mortals and gods, but it is clear that this limitation does not exist for you. Being able to devour the remains of Evil God is something that not only mortals, but even true gods cannot do. You can be even more arrogant."

Perhaps because she remained inside Angelica's body and frequently came into contact with Qin Chu, the Moon Goddess clearly understood Qin Chu better and had a higher opinion of him.

Then, Cynthia suddenly gave Qin Chu a reproachful look, a look that made Qin Chu's heart skip a beat. "If I weren't afraid of you, a mere mortal, crushing the last remnant of my goddess soul, I wouldn't have to hide so carefully every time you enter Angelica's Soul World."

Cynthia felt a pang of annoyance whenever she thought about what happened every time Qin Chu entered Angelica's Soul World.

She is not only the Moon Goddess, but also the Virgin Goddess.

Because she was residing in Angelica's body, everything Angelica experienced was clearly transmitted into Cynthia's soul. Despite being the Virgin Goddess, she had experienced things she should and shouldn't have experienced dozens of times. Wasn't that feeling terrible?

So much so that Cynthia now has to work hard to suppress her shyness and annoyance before facing the man in front of her.

Ughhhhhh... I really want to scratch this guy's face, pull his hair, yank his ears, and gouge out his eyes.

Blasphemy, that is absolutely blasphemy against the gods.

If I weren't just a remnant of my soul and no match for Qin Chu, I would definitely settle this score with him.

After a pause, the Moon Goddess wisely chose not to dwell on the matter, striving to maintain her elegance and dignity as a goddess before speaking again, "You deliberately forced me out here, surely it wasn't just to ask about this?"

"Of course, there are many things I'm curious about." Qin Chu carefully chose his words: "I once heard the voice of the Fire God left for his followers. Although it was brief, he was a very generous and magnanimous deity."

"Brother Fire God? Hmm, he... well, he is indeed very generous."

"Generous" is a nicer way of putting it.

Although, in Cynthia's opinion, perhaps "all brawn and no brains" would be a more apt description.

"From the messages left by Fire God, I roughly learned something about what happened a thousand years ago. It seems that Fire God disliked the Goddess of Fate Moirai, quite a bit..."

"Moirai?" The Moon Goddess raised an eyebrow. "It would be strange if the Fire God liked Moirai. In fact, among all the gods, there probably isn't a single one who truly likes Moirai... Although it's not good to speak ill of others behind their backs, but... how should I put it... among the gods, Moirai is probably an anomaly."

Seemingly gradually getting used to her current evolved form, the Moon Goddess's facial expressions are becoming noticeably richer.

This is a very lively goddess. Although she tried hard to maintain her image as a deity at the beginning, as the interaction with her continued, that carefully maintained image gradually crumbled.

If you disregard her stunningly beautiful face and the unique way she appeared, you might even think she's just a cute and playful girl next door.

Qin Chu listened attentively, not wanting to miss a single word.

It wasn't just Fire God who disliked Moirai; almost all the gods disliked Moirai.

Why?

"Well, Moirai is the youngest of the gods, the last goddess to be born, and she holds the reins of Fate. From the moment of Moirai birth, unlike the other gods, she has always been shrouded in a gloomy aura."

"Actually, this isn't hard to understand. As a goddess who holds the Fate Authority, Moirai can see things that we can't."

"And most of these are very terrible disasters."

"No matter who it is, if they constantly tell you that you'll have bad luck tomorrow or bad luck the day after, you won't feel comfortable, will you?"

"It's the same for the gods. Although we all know it's not Moirai's fault, every time Moirai leaves his temple, he can't help but sigh."

As a surviving goddess, even though she was only a remnant soul, the Moon Goddess told her many times more information than the information left behind by the Fire God.

"And Moirai made a prophecy long ago: the Skyvault Continent, whether human or god, will face great destruction; it will be the end of the world, it will be Twilight of the Gods."

"In order to avert Twilight of the Gods, Moirai locked himself in the temple for hundreds of years, hoping to capture a thread of hope in the River of Fate."

"Unfortunately, Twilight of the Gods could not be avoided. A thousand years ago, Moirai emerged from seclusion again to inform the gods that Evil God from beyond the evil realm were about to invade."

"It is also prophesied that the gods of the Skyvault Continent will suffer an unprecedented defeat this time, with all the gods falling. Only by uniting the power of all the gods to besiege the most powerful Evil God will the Skyvault Continent have a glimmer of hope."

"In fact, the situation is similar to Moirai's prophecy. The power of the Evil God is unprecedented. Even Lucia the Skyvault Continent... ah, the Goddess of Holy Light whom you worship, as well as the Earth Mother Eunibena, the Sun God Helios, and the God of Darkness Hoder, are far from being a match for this Evil God."

"How many gods are there in the sky? In the Lower Realm alone, there are forty or fifty powerful gods with temples and faith, and countless more without any lineage of faith."

"Perhaps it could no longer be called a war, but a one-sided massacre."

"That Evil God is far too powerful. He exudes an aura that even the gods cannot withstand. Weaker gods would be corrupted and turned into madmen or even puppets simply by getting close to him."

"One by one, gods fell from the stars, shattered and their souls vanished."

That was the true Twilight of the Gods.

"I witnessed Helios, the Sun God, absorbing the sun's energy into his own body, plunging the entire Skyvault Continent into Eternal Darkness, and absorbing all the light."

"The Sun God... Heh, he can only utilize the power of the sun, which doesn't mean he is the sun itself."

The Moon Goddess Cynthia gazed at the starry sky above, and although it was night, she seemed to be able to see that huge, blazing fireball.

"Trying to completely contain the sun's energy within one's body is tantamount to suicide. It's an energy that even Helios couldn't bear. He couldn't sustain it for long. He treated his body like a terrifying bomb, carrying the hottest and most violent energy of the entire Skyvault Continent in an attempt to drag the Evil God down with him."

"I clearly saw that when Helios lunged at the Evil God, his divine body was already cracked."

"But even the energy of the sun, mixed with Helios's burning body and soul... only blew off one of the Evil God's arms."

"I saw with my own eyes that the God of Darkness, Hoder, gathered all his Evil God power, stripped the evil god of his sight, and pierced the Evil God's chest with a spear formed from the power of darkness. However, his body was also seized by the Evil God's wildly swinging giant hand, and his soul and body were crushed into powder."

These powerful gods possess eternal life.

But when faced with Evil God from beyond the realm, they abandoned everything they possessed, solely to protect the weaker beings in the Lower Realm.

They burned their own blood, they burned their own souls.

That is a true god.

"As for me, I am just a relatively weak god. I tried to draw the moon from the starry sky to fall on the head of the Evil God, but unfortunately, before I could do it, my body was torn apart by the Evil God, and my soul was instantly shattered into pieces."

"However, I was a little luckier; there's still a weak remnant soul surviving on the moon." Cynthia's voice gradually turned dejected.

It's still somewhat gloomy.

Although I survived, the thought of so many of my fallen comrades makes it seem like nothing to be happy about.

Seemingly feeling that what she had said was too depressing, Cynthia shook her head sharply. "However, it seems that Moirai's prediction wasn't so accurate after all."

She said all the gods will die.

"But I still have a wisp of my soul left behind, don't I?"

"I know that a Sapling resides within your body; that is the true form of the Earth Mother Oniberla."

"It seems that Oni Bella's situation is similar to mine."

Qin Chu's throat bobbed slightly. "Moirai prophesied that all the gods would die?"

Cynthia nodded. "Yes, that's what she said. She said that the sacrifice of all the gods would bring hope to the Skyvault Continent..."

"What about the Goddess of Holy Light?" Qin Chu could feel his lips trembling slightly.

"Of course they will die." Cynthia said matter-of-factly. The Goddess of Holy Light was the most powerful of all the gods, Twilight of the Gods was inevitable for her.

Qin Chu's pupils suddenly contracted. "You saw it with your own eyes?"

Cynthia shook her head. "No, not at all. Lucia was still alive when I died, but her condition was also terrible. She used the power of light to create the most powerful cage to try to trap the Evil God. But that terrible guy broke the shackles of the cage one by one, and couldn't suppress him at all."

"Every bar of the cage is a bone of Lucia."

"Moreover, when the gods were discussing how to fight the Evil God, Moirai told Lucia in front of them that she was going to die, but her blood would give birth to the Seed of Hope."

"Moirai asked her sister Lucia what she would choose."

"Sister Lucia did not hesitate and chose to sacrifice herself."

Cynthia sighed deeply. "Given Lucia's personality, it's understandable that she would make such a decision. After all, she's the gentlest of all the gods."

"Perhaps, Lucia's soul was already scattered a thousand years ago."

The Moon Goddess was unaware of Qin Chu's contact with the Holy Light.

Qin Chu's throat bobbed incessantly; he could feel his throat tightening and becoming uncomfortable.

The Goddess of Holy Light did not die; she was merely trapped in the Void. It seems the prophecy of the Goddess of Fate was not so accurate after all.

No, perhaps, in Moirai's prophecy, the sacrifice of the Goddess of Holy Light Lucia did not occur during the War of the Gods a thousand years ago.

But... the future?

The little girl trapped in the Void, no matter how much she struggled, could not escape her fate of death.

Or is it that the Goddess of Holy Light actually perished a thousand years ago?

But if that's the case, then who is trapped in the cage?

The first chapter, four thousand words in total, is presented here.

Chapter 495, let's stop this, my body can't take it.

(4,000 characters)

Qin Chu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. In his agitated state, all sorts of chaotic thoughts uncontrollably surfaced in his mind, some of which even made Qin Chu feel a chill run down his spine.

Thinking of that charming, slightly proud, yet actually quite gentle girl in the Void, and knowing that she ultimately couldn't escape her Fate of death, Qin Chu felt inexplicably awkward.

Although we didn't have many interactions, and the time we spent together was very short.

Moreover, recently, every time I interact with the little girl, I feel like I'm being used as a power bank to absorb energy, which is not a pleasant feeling.

But for some inexplicable reason, Qin Chu just didn't want to see that little girl die.

Lucia?

Is this the name of the Little Goddess of Holy Light?

If Moirai's prophecy is correct, Twilight of the Gods, and the gods will fall.

Does that mean it's not just the Goddess of Holy Light, but also Cynthia is now just a wisp of a soul...?

Within her own body Earth Mother, Eunibena, who was still a Sapling.

These gods, who were fortunate enough to survive the War of the Gods a thousand years ago, could not escape the fate of perishing.

"If... I mean if..."

"The Evil God that once ravaged this world has reappeared. What will you do?" Qin Chu felt his voice was hoarse and cracked.

Cynthia seemed taken aback by Qin Chu's sudden question, but the intelligent goddess quickly understood, and a smile bloomed on her beautiful face, "Is there even a need to ask?"

"Fighting!"

Even if you are now nothing but a remnant soul?

"So what if it's a remnant soul?" Cynthia gazed up at the starry sky, a small, delicate white hand reaching out as if trying to grasp something.

"Perhaps there are some Fate we cannot change, but we will fight to the very last moment."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried a certain persistence.

This is the divine.

A true god.

"Is that so..." Qin Chu sighed silently, "Is it worth it? I don't think the beings of this world are worth your sacrifice."

"They don't deserve it."

Cynthia shook her head slightly. "If you had a child, and your child went astray, what would you do? Would you try to guide him back to the right path, or would you give up on him completely?"

"To us, the creatures of the Lower Realm are like our children."

"You may not understand this feeling if you don't have children, but you have many lovers. If one of your lovers turns bad, what would you do? Would you abandon them completely?"

Qin Chu remained silent.

Seeing Qin Chu's silence, Cynthia smiled very gently. She raised her right hand as if to stroke Qin Chu's cheek, but her small hand could only helplessly pass over Qin Chu's face. "I know, this world has long been corrupted."

"Besides the girls around you, all you feel in this world is betrayal, pain, Wrath, and hatred."

"But..."

"If you can, please be kind to this world."

It was clearly just a ghostly phantom, yet this sudden approach made Qin Chu vaguely smell the fragrance emanating from the Moon Goddess, see her delicate, silky skin, and her deep, bright eyes.

Cynthia withdrew her gaze and gracefully stepped back, her expression returning to its usual playful and adorable state. "Then, esteemed Hero, please ask me any further questions as soon as possible. I am very weak right now and cannot remain out for much longer."

"One last question, what exactly did the Goddess of Fate Moirai, arrange?" Qin Chu asked the most crucial question, hoping to get an answer from the Moon Goddess.
