CHAPTER 489: CHAPTER 236: JUST THE MASTER’S TASK

Indeed, it is an existence that is worth the gods joining forces, even at the cost of severe injuries, to erase prematurely.

At this moment—

Creak.

The door of the Bronze Palace slowly opened.

Then.

Click, click.

Crisp footsteps echoed in the empty Bronze Hall.

Entering the Bronze Palace was a lush and gentle woman, with wheat and fresh flowers springing forth by her side.

Following behind this gentle woman was a beautiful young girl, dressed in emerald garb, with a flawless, exquisite face, as if embodying the thousand spirits of life within her.

"Abundance, Life—"

"You’ve come."

Watching the two graceful figures enter the palace from the bronze doorway, the Moon God took the initiative to speak.

As fellow goddesses, her relationship with Abundance and Life was fairly amicable.

At this moment, with the gods gathered, alliances crisscrossing, every deity harbored their own little thoughts.

Even though most deities had made the decision to join forces to hunt down that human named Shiayar, given his power, the gods would inevitably pay a corresponding price in the process of hunting him down.

Moreover, that human seemed to have inherited part of the legacy of the creator from the Glorious Era, and when the time came to hunt him down, the distribution of that creator’s legacy would also be a significant issue.

The legacy of that Ancient Sun God could significantly influence the future claim to the Throne of Heaven, and none of the deities present would easily forfeit it.

And now, with the arrival of the goddesses Abundance and Life from her own faction, the Moon God felt somewhat reassured.

Abundance and Life walked past the Moon God’s seat gracefully, seemingly just wanting to take a seat beside her.

However, a fraction of a second later.

The action of the Moon God elegantly playing with her wine glass suddenly stiffened.

Her cold, ethereal beauty was momentarily frozen.

The silver-white goblet fell to the ground, shattering into countless bright and pure shards.

She turned her head blankly.

Only to see a slender, fair hand piercing straight into her divine body.

Relentlessly, it pierced through the Moon God’s delicate and seductive form.

Immediately after.

Thousands of gleaming emerald threads invaded the Moon God’s divine body along that fair and gentle hand.

Then, in an instant, they captured her divinity core within the divine body.

In a fleeting moment, they rapidly expanded.

The brilliant starry lines enveloped the divine core and then began unreserved erosion and corruption.

Within the time of a breath, the Goddess of Life’s emerald Divine Power breached the outer defenses of the Moon God’s divinity.

Melting away all obstacles, it directly reached the Moon God’s core area.

Unable to maintain control of her Divine Power, the Moon God’s originally bright and clean moonlight flickered uncertainly, as if it would extinguish at any moment.

Her exquisite body fell to the ground softly, trembling slightly, and even her pure silver eyes turned sometimes clear, sometimes hazy.

Soon, the confusion and void in the Moon God’s eyes took the upper hand.

Her once bright eyes grew dim and lost, losing their luster.

"Life..."

"Why?"

Clinging to the last thread of clarity in her Divine Soul, the Moon God turned her body.

However, she was only met with the cold words of the Goddess of Life.

"Under normal circumstances, considering the difficulty and success rate of taking action, I should choose targets with no allies and a higher success rate."

"But!"

On the young girl’s indifferent, exquisitely beautiful face, a surge of intense hatred suddenly appeared.

"You filthy wench."

"How dare you harbor murderous intent toward the master, how dare you use words like ’vermin and rodents’ to describe the master!"

"Even shattering your entire divine body, obliterating every strand of your divided Divine Soul, burning your bones and blood to ashes in scorching agony would not suffice to atone for this disrespectful sin!"

"From the moment those words came out of your despicable mouth—"

"The only outcome awaiting you is to atone to the master with your filthy body and long life."

Life, why would she say such a thing?

The events unfolding before her added a hint of bewilderment to the already hazy beauty in the Moon God’s eyes.

At this moment, the God of the Silver Moon was completely unable to understand why Life would say such words—

Even if Life held some old grudges against her, for the deities, any superfluous emotions were expendable before profit.

If it were the tempestuous Storm or the elusive War, it might be understandable...

But as someone who has stood atop the Griffin race since the Barbaric Era before the Glorious Era, although maintaining the form of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, the Moon God, who knew her well, was clearly aware that the Goddess of Life was never one to be driven by emotion.

And from Life’s mouth, who was this master?

However, all of the Moon God’s thoughts would come to no conclusion.

The speed of the emerald threads’ erosion was incredibly fast, terrifyingly so.

As if rehearsed thousands of times, they left no time for the Moon God to react, as the emerald hue invaded her divinity core, leaving her self-awareness unsustainable.

In the moment before the existing divinity was erased.

The Moon God used her last ounce of strength to cast a pleading look at Abundance behind her.

The other deities were too far away, and at this sudden moment, most deities were considering their own safety and vigilance, not rushing to rescue the God of the Silver Moon.

After all, no one knew if the deity next to them might suddenly deliver a righteous betrayal.

At this moment, the only one who could save her was the nearby Goddess of Abundance.

However—

Responding to the Moon God’s hopeful gaze.

Was only the gentle yet indifferent face of the Goddess of Abundance.

"I’m sorry, Silver Moon."

"But, this is the Father God’s task."

Abundance’s cold and aloof eyes suddenly took on a hint of reverence.

"Sleep, Silver Moon."

"When you awaken, you will, like me, receive a new life."

"And then, you will understand how ignorant and foolish you were before..."

"And how warm the grand radiance of the Father God will be."

Her luscious red lips trembled slightly.

"Just to bask in a bit of the Father God’s grace..."

"Everything I do at this moment, even offering my life, will be worth it."
