Chapter 378: Chapter 231: Please, Save Him
With a crisp sound, the silvery-white teleportation screen shattered like a mirror.
As the only gateway connecting the Divine Moon Gap with reality, once this portal was destroyed, no one from the outside world could reach this place again.
After all, this was a buffering zone created by the Bright Moon Goddess to lead to her Divine Kingdom, absent from the present world, eluding search even if one scoured the entire continent.
The people of the Silent Church regarded it as sacred; many had heard the gospel of the Goddess here, purifying body and soul, yearning at all times to reach the Divine Moon Gap after death and arrive at the blissful realm that existed only in fantasies.
However, now, this teleportation screen, which could be considered the foundation of the Silent Church, had been personally shattered by a madman.
He was well aware of what he was doing, as well as the consequences of his actions.
After all, this scene was something he had anticipated before his arrival.
In the last moment as the teleportation screen dissolved into specks, the girl’s despairing, ashen face still lingered before his eyes.
Her outstretched hand towards the young man was so weak.
Though the distance between them was within arm’s reach, there was no way to touch each other’s warmth again.
“…Don’t!!!”
Tiya’s cry, as agonizing as a blood-spewing cuckoo, abruptly ended along with the dissipation of the teleportation screen.
The crack that once reflected reality slowly closed, darkening the view before him, replaced by the void of the otherworldly space.
I’m sorry, Tiya.
Watching the direction in which the girl disappeared, Lynn silently said in his heart.
He had deceived her once again.
Just like that day’s candid meeting at the inn, it was cruel and resolute, completely disregarding her own thoughts and brutally imposing his will upon her.
As for the content of the deception…
Feeling the intense pain inside him that felt like swarms of insects gnawing, Lynn remained composed.
From the beginning, he had deceived Tiya.
This power was definitely not something he, as he now was, could control.
The black mire of the residual power from the Creation Demon was eroding his body every second, exciting him while clearly conveying the deep bone-searing pain.
Perhaps, even Miss Witch would scream in surprise seeing him in this neither-human-nor-ghost state.
Yet Lynn had long been prepared.
As a Second Rank Transcendent, his existence was no different from that of ants in the eyes of divine beings.
To sit at this game table under such circumstances, one had to stake one’s life.
If he wanted to alter Tiya’s originally doomed tragic ending and also save himself, that would be shameless.
Thinking of this, Lynn slightly trembled and clenched his fist.
Feeling the reinvigorating power of the Wish Jar within him, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
At this point, the first step had been accomplished.
Although he had just vowed to walk the path ahead with her, the premise was that he must first survive.
This involved Lynn’s second lie.
Strictly speaking, the power within him was only a part of a level 0 Sealed Object.
Considering that during the time in the Soron Mountain Range underground relics, a minor part of the Law was absorbed and Devoured by Ivyst, the core nature left in Lynn’s body was not at its prime, especially with the mix of some Demon Power.
The damage it did to his body far surpassed the power Lynn received.
Moreover, even the Wish Jar at its peak status was merely a level 0 Sealed Object.
Though there aren’t many Sealed Objects of the same order and each carries its own profound and hidden history, for divine beings, they are ultimately just more useful tools.
Such power absolutely cannot pose a threat to beings like divine ones.
It was precisely because Atelis, trapped in her own Divine Kingdom, had her main consciousness severely contaminated and was in an unprecedented state of weakness that the Bright Moon Consciousness split from her was not strong enough.
Additionally, because Lynn arrived full of indescribable rage and engaged Her in an intense battle from start to finish, which She was not fond of, he managed to gain a tiny advantage.
In truth, Lynn was all too aware of whether his assaults just now had caused any harm to Her.
Even if contaminated, She remains a lofty divine being!
Since She is a divine being, how could such lowly tricks defeat Her?
Thus, from the very start, Lynn never believed he could take down Atelis with such gimmicks.
Sensing the icy killing intent spreading from behind, Lynn slowly turned around.
The pale white light orb that had been swept into spatial turbulence had, unbeknownst to him, restored to its original state at some moment, resembling a small moon, quietly floating at the highest point of the Divine Moon Gap.
Simultaneously, a voice faintly echoed in Lynn’s ear.
“It seems that you are the truly clever one.”
Compared to the earlier anger and resentment, Atelis’s voice now sounded very calm, with a hint of coldness, as if taken to the extreme of rationality.
The misty moonlight energy enveloping the Bright Moon Consciousness was also nonthreatening, emitting a hazy and soft glow, quietly illuminating everything.
Yet the more it was like this, the stronger the oppressive feeling it gave off.
“Oh? How so?”
What do you think?
