CHAPTER 473: CHAPTER 232: SHIAYAR, DESECRATING ABUNDANCE!

Shiayar Egutt.

That is the one who denies the legitimacy of the Divine Ascension Steps, and should be eradicated at all costs, the arch-enemy of all Fabled Creatures.

However.

At the moment she saw him.

That longing, admiration, reverence, and attachment...

These emotions that she had once experienced in Abundance surged again from the depths of her Divine Soul, rising to her heart.

And—compared to before, they were even more intense, dozens or even hundreds of times stronger!

Clap—

Abundance gripped the corner of the desk fiercely with her pale fingers.

"So it was you!"

"I originally thought you should still be trapped on the other side of that world—"

"Moreover, the great fall into the Abyss should have significantly consumed you..."

"I never expected that you have already awakened, and can even interfere with the Main Material Plane through the world’s barrier?"

Only at this moment did the Goddess of Abundance finally realize the culprit behind her previous abnormalities.

It was not, as she had expected, those other powerful deities vying for the Throne of Heaven.

But rather, just an ordinary pure blood Human without a trace of Divinity.

Nevertheless, even so, Abundance still could not understand.

What exactly had he done to her to make her feel such bizarre emotions toward him.

This feeling was so subtle that the moment they met, the inexplicable emotion rose again, compelling her to lower her Rank as a deity, wanting to be close to him like that little white ferret before, desiring his pats on her head.

Abundance fixed her gaze, sometimes dazed, sometimes fearful with a mix of anger, on Shiayar standing at the podium.

"What is this place?"

"Also, what exactly have you done to me?"

...

"Oh?"

Seeing the Goddess of Abundance panting heavily and on high alert in front of him, Shiayar raised an eyebrow.

"I merely wanted to casually find a breakthrough point from the Fabled Creatures."

"Unexpectedly... you know quite a lot."

"Restored your sanity completely in less than a thousand years after the Cataclysm, at a time when many Fabled Creatures are still half-mad, began collecting intelligence massively, hiding behind the scenes for planning."

"Does that mean—"

"I caught a big fish just on my second throw of the hook?"

"The previous long wait was indeed not in vain."

Shiayar’s eyes lit up.

He glanced at the neatly arranged desks in the classroom around him, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

"To be precise, this is actually the mindscape projected from your Heart of God."

"To put it bluntly, this is actually your inner world."

"However, I stole some dream-entering techniques from a rich woman from my home who likes to be a stealthy dragon in dreams, allowing part of my spiritual power to descend here across the Astral Realm."

"I slightly remodeled your originally harvestful mindscape into the style I wanted."

Shiayar glanced at the blackboard filled with chalk writing: "Of course, some accidents happened in the process, but that doesn’t matter."

"Originally, I just wanted to discuss a collaboration with you."

"These little tricks were merely to give me an advantage in negotiations, and to make you lower your guard against me, so you wouldn’t attack me right away."

He looked down calmly at the Goddess of Abundance below the desk, her fair face flushed, her eyes constantly oscillating between daze and aversion.

"The so-called Fabled Creatures—"

"Or rather, that high and mighty Divinity."

"In my view, it’s merely the Beast Nature that continuously devours and grows, climbing higher peaks over the corpses of their kind."

"Of course, it’s just about becoming stronger by any means... the desire to become stronger itself is understandable, and I have no right to stand on the moral high ground to criticize it."

"However, this also means that all of you Fabled Creatures are actually enemies of each other, right?"

Shiayar’s words were calm, yet they seemed to resonate directly within the soul of the Goddess of Abundance, compelling her to instinctively trust, to align with his perspective.

"The position of the Throne of Heaven, only one per era."

"But the Fabled Creatures who desire to ascend to that Throne of Heaven are far more than just one—"

"Fabled Creatures are powerful because of Divinity, and the simplest way to gain Divinity and Authority is to kill another deity."

"Even if you have discovered the so-called existence of faith, the intelligent life forms capable of providing Power of Faith in the Multiverse itself are also limited... in the end, it still inevitably comes down to conflict."

"During the Glorious Era, the self-proclaimed creator Sun God was supreme, holding over half of the Divinity and Authority alone, which also led all other Fabled Creatures to only be able to position themselves as ’God Subordinate’ or ’Angel’."

"And with the outbreak of the Cataclysm, the fall of the creator from the Glorious Era, amidst chaos and the bloodshed of deities, those scattered, masterless Divinities provided an opportunity for some powerful deities to advance further."

Shiayar looked calmly at the Goddess of Abundance, her lovely face shifting between gloom and brightness.

"So, you should understand my meaning, right?"

"I’m not interested in Divinity and Authority... What I want is merely to protect the people I care about, the things I care about, that’s all."
