Wozworth's Heart (Eight Thousand Words)
The misty chill had completely enveloped Antasia's body, and no one noticed that a diamond-shaped mark was gradually being imprinted on Antasia's forehead.
That is the Ice Authority.
Symbol of the Ice Goddess.
It is clear that the authority left behind by the Ice Goddess is different from the Flame Authority and the Storm Authority.
Within the Ice Authority, an astonishing amount of energy remains sealed... This energy originates from the long-fallen Ice Goddess and the Ice Witch who died hundreds of years ago.
At this very moment, all this abundant energy was being channeled into Antasia's body.
The sudden influx of such astonishing energy was too much for Antasia's body to handle. Her body seemed to have transformed into a beautiful, translucent ice sculpture, its surface covered with countless cracks.
It seemed as if it could shatter at any moment.
However, on the other side, the Ice Authority was constantly releasing rings of energy, barely keeping Antasia's body from completely Ruin.
At the same time, a large number of memories are playing out in Antasia's mind.
Antasia saw the scene from a thousand years ago: the goddess, as beautiful as a snowflake, riding a desolate blizzard towards the Strongest Evil God.
They saw the goddess's body torn to pieces, covered in blood.
Having witnessed the goddess's authority, they fell from the Void.
The shock and Wrath felt upon seeing the Ice Witch walking on the glacier and glimpsing the remains of the Strongest Evil God for the first time.
They witnessed the Ice Witch attempting to use a large amount of Holy Crystal and Mana Bombs, along with all her own power, to detonate them in a vain attempt to destroy the Evil God's Corpse.
Unfortunately, even with a massive amount of Holy Crystal and Mana Bombs, combined with the Ice Witch's own power, the resulting explosion could easily shatter a mountain range stretching for thousands of meters, but it couldn't Ruin the remains of the Strongest Evil God.
On the contrary, the Ice Witch herself was shattered by the impact of the explosion, leaving only her soul, which resided within the Ice Authority, awaiting the emergence of the next being capable of inheriting the will of the Ice Goddess.
This is a legacy.
What has been passed down is not merely the Ice Authority, nor simply the power of the Ice Goddess.
It is more than just a will; it is a spirit.
The power inherent in authority may vanish, but this spirit will never fade.
Ah!
Accompanied by the sharpest screech.
The chilling aura surrounding Antasia suddenly condensed, gradually forming a tall figure in the Void behind her.
The figure had graceful curves and seemed to be wearing a wide, ice-blue long dress.
The figure was hazy, its face obscured, yet a pure and pristine beauty emanated from it. The figure's outstretched arms seemed to protect the woman before it like a spirit guarding its back.
That was the illusion of the Ice Goddess.
After the chill dissipated, Antasia's figure finally appeared. At this moment, Antasia was still covered in cracks all over her body. Fine cracks could be seen everywhere on her face, neck, arms, and the backs of her hands, and a trace of coldness was constantly being released through these cracks.
Antasia knew very well that once the power contained within the Ice Authority was exhausted, she would be forced back into her original form, returning to the state of a weak princess.
But so what?
At least for now, I have the power to protect my lover, and that's enough.
The Lord of Pleasure's lips trembled; He could naturally recognize the illusion of the Ice Goddess.
He was Wrath, not only at those still alive, but even at these long-dead scum who dared to stand up and oppose him?
But before the Lord of Pleasure could unleash his fury, another whoosh rang out.
A scarlet figure streaked across the horizon.
The moment the Lord of Pleasure noticed this figure, he felt his heart skip a beat.
He sensed the presence of the Father God?
Although it was extremely faint, it was undoubtedly the aura of the Father God.
Could it be that the old man has really come back to life?
In that instant, the Lord of Pleasure felt an urge to turn and run away because of the long-standing fear of the Father God in his chest. No one knew better than the Lord of Pleasure how powerful the Father God was.
But the Lord of Pleasure soon realized that the Father God had not been resurrected.
That was just some unfortunate soul corrupted by the blood of the Father God. This guy should have gone mad long ago, so why is he showing up at this time? Is it because of the hatred for his seven offspring rooted in his blood?
Just as this thought flashed through the mind of the Lord of Pleasure, a figure landed there, none other than Wadsworth.
Compared to the other women around her, Wadsworth's situation was clearly much worse.
Beneath the humanoid skin, countless strip-like objects were wriggling.
Only one pair of eyes was blazing with Wrath flames.
Whether it was the appearance of Ileta Adelina, the appearance of Little Saya, the Moon Goddess and Natia Antia, the inheritance of the Ice Goddess by Antasia, or even now that Wadsworth has appeared before them, the Lord of Pleasure has shown no intention of stopping them.
Prevent?
No need.
These ignorant and foolish humans!
They don't understand that no matter how many ants there are, they are still just ants and can't possibly kill an elephant.
Do they really think that a larger human population can defeat the gods?
Impossible. The gap between gods and humans cannot be bridged by numbers... The Lord of Pleasure is simply waiting, waiting for a strong individual among all humans who possesses both the power and the will to do so to completely destroy all forces of resistance in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome to search for these guys one by one as they hide.
The Lord of Pleasure was even somewhat expectant, wondering if there would be more surprises to come.
"Looks like everyone's here."
Just then, a soft voice, carried on the breeze, brushed past everyone's ears.
Upon hearing this voice, everyone else remained relatively normal, but the Lord of Pleasure's expression suddenly changed drastically.
This was the first time this powerful deity's expression had changed so drastically.
Without a doubt, the Lord of Pleasure already knew from the voice who had spoken it.
The next moment, something unexpected happened.
In the endless sky, it seemed as if a delicate white hand was moving across.
As the little hand traced its path, the sky instantly darkened, a veil obscuring the heavens... no, not just the sky above, but the entire Skyvault Continent, the entire planet, all became dim and lifeless.
The Sky Curtain has already enveloped the entire world.
It severed the connection between this world and the Void.
The entire world had become a giant prison, and the being imprisoned within was none other than the Lord of Pleasure.
In an instant, the Lord of Pleasure could clearly sense that after the connection with the Void was severed, the suppression and repulsion he was experiencing surged, and his power was being ruthlessly compressed.
This deity, who always maintained a dignified image, could no longer restrain himself. His eyes seemed to be spitting out blazing flames, and his lips, trembling with Wrath, uttered a few words: "Moirai!"
"It's you!"
The Goddess of Fate, Moirai.
From the Void, a clear, bell-like laugh seemed to echo.
Hehe...
Fate?
Everything's settled, the New Year is finally over. After finishing a whole bunch of messy things, I'll resume updating 12,000 words per day starting today, and gradually increase it to 15,000 words per day depending on the situation.
Many thanks to readers Wenhe for asking why he didn't know about the 5,000 points, and to readers SilenT4ever and Dongfang Wufei 1,000 points donation. Thank you for your support.
Chapter 539 The Heart of Wadsworth (8,000 words)
The Lord of Pleasure realized he had been tricked.
I was tricked by that most insidious, cunning, and shameless scoundrel in the entire world.
The Sky Curtain have sealed off the world, and the connection between Him and the Void has been severed. The world's rejection and suppression of Him are increasing every second, which means... His power will gradually diminish over time.
Is the Goddess of Fate, Moirai, trying to use these lowly humans to set a trap and eliminate herself?
Haha, dreaming.
Just because you've become weaker doesn't mean the insects have become stronger.
Even with its power waning, it is still an existence that no mortal can contend with.
The Goddess of Fate's blockade was so strong that even the Lord of Pleasure could hardly tear the Sky Curtain apart, especially with others entangled in the conflict.
However, there may still be companions in the Void.
The Fate Weaver must have already noticed that he is trapped, and his companions in the Void will soon tear this Sky Curtain apart.
Moirai, oh Moirai, you've prepared for so long, but this so-called trap is still full of loopholes... Is this your final scheme?
It's truly pitiful that the Goddess of Fate has been forced to resort to such despicable means.
The Lord of Pleasure wore a mocking smile.
He didn't think this so-called trap could do anything to him.
However, what the Lord of Pleasure did not know was that at the very moment the Sky Curtain sealed off and isolated the world, the Little Goddess of Holy Light, far away in the Void, finally stood up at that moment.
A slight smile appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face.
"It's time."
The Little Goddess of Holy Light stretched out her fair and slightly chubby arms, her palms facing outwards, as if she were supporting something.
The next second, the small body inside the small cage suddenly began to swell.
The Little Goddess of Holy Light, who was originally the size of a five or six-year-old girl, is growing at an incredibly fast pace. The cage surrounding Little Goddess of Holy Light is also expanding, and the aura emanating from Little Goddess of Holy Light is becoming stronger and stronger.
The expanding cage even pulled on the chains wrapped around its exterior.
The chains were instantly taut.
Immediately following was a strange creaking sound, as the sturdy chains rubbed together violently, producing a teeth-grinding noise. Some chains couldn't withstand the astonishing energy emanating from the cage and even snapped.
The sudden surge of power within the cage clearly caught the Seven Uglies of the Void... no, now it's the Six Ugly Ones, off guard.
In a short time, the Little Goddess of Holy Light had returned to her original state, a colossal figure thousands of feet tall, her robes fluttering, her pure white light even dispelling the darkness in the Void.
The Little Goddess of Holy Light has gone berserk!
Rumble...
Violent tremors spread through the Void.
Without a doubt, apart from the Lord of Pleasure, the other six ugly creatures in the Void had clearly sensed the commotion here.
Almost instinctively, the six powerful Evil God quickly mobilized their immense power to counter the impact of the Goddess of Holy Light, attempting to suppress her once again.
The conflict in the Void continues.
It seems unlikely that things will calm down in the short term, but there is no doubt that the attention of the Six Uglies of the Void has been completely drawn to the Goddess of Holy Light.
These entities no longer possess the power to peer into other directions.
On the ground, Little Saya and Big Saya could clearly sense that something was wrong.
The fact that Moirai's name came from the Lord of Pleasure startled the two Dark Witch.
This was something they hadn't anticipated.
They believed that the Lord of Pleasure had descended upon this world solely to destroy Qin Chu.
But unexpectedly, even the Goddess of Fate was involved... This mysterious goddess seemed to have secretly planned everything all along.
Qin Chu had always been wary of this goddess, worried that she would eventually fall into the Abyss and never be able to climb out again... But at this moment, although he had not yet caught a glimpse of the Goddess of Fate, judging from the behavior of the Lord of Pleasure, there was no doubt that this Evil God was even more displeased with the Goddess of Fate, Moirai.
He seemed to have been thoroughly tricked by Moirai, his voice filled with hatred and Wrath.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
When facing the Lord of Pleasure, the Goddess of Fate Moirai, is an ally.
