CHAPTER 302: CHAPTER 272: OPEN CONSPIRACY - KILLING BY BORROWING A KNIFE

The matter of the Tree of Life unsettled everyone a bit, but fortunately, Lette’s words soothed their restless minds.

After a flash of white light, Lette’s consciousness once again arrived at the Divine Court.

Unexpectedly, Joanna and Afra were already standing at the door waiting to welcome him.

Seeing the worried looks on their faces, Lette immediately understood.

"It seems you’ve already heard?"

"After you moved the Array of the Tree of Life, the world’s Law started having issues. Afra and I have temporarily stabilized the mutant situation, but...

the situation is not optimistic."

"Let’s go inside and talk."

The three of them entered the temple, and Joanna waved away the Angels inside.

Seeing there was no one else around, Lette recounted the general course of events to the two Goddesses.

After hearing Lette’s words, Afra’s face turned pale.

"This is it, this is it, such unlucky events, how did we encounter them?"

"You also know about the blooming of the Tree of Life?"

"I’ve heard about it, I used to graze with the Gods all over, and I’ve heard those legends.

But, those are just legends, and I’ve never seen it with my own eyes.

And according to other Divines, the probability of such events happening is extremely low."

Joanna asked concernedly, "Then, is there any way to save it?"

Afra slowly shook her head, "No, no Divine would spend time and effort to save a world full of holes.

After all, to them, it’s just an optional pasture.

New worlds are born every day, and old worlds collapse as well.

Although this kind of Destruction is relatively rare, the fact of world collapse itself is not unusual.

Of course, there are some more responsible Deities who would choose their favored Believers to take them away from a world about to collapse.

But for most life, their fate is to be buried along with their current world."

Joanna immediately panicked, anxiously gripping Lette’s hand, "What should we do now, Lette?"

"Don’t worry, the world won’t be destroyed. As long as I’m here, the end-of-the-world crisis from the Dragon Clan was resolved, what kind of waves could the little Tree of Life make?"

Afra, however, shook her head, "These are not the same thing at all.

The Dragon Clan was an external factor; as long as you were strong enough, you could indeed thwart their end-of-the-world conspiracy.

But this kind of internal decay and collapse from within the world cannot be resolved by strength alone.

It’s as if someone is trying to stab you; you only need to defeat them.

But if you have a terminal illness, no matter how strong you are, you can’t save yourself."

Lette glared at her fiercely, "If you’re going to speak, say less. Do I need you to explain these to me?"

Only then did Afra realize Joanna was not in a good mood, and hurriedly hugged her.

"Sister, don’t worry, you’re already a Divine, even if the world is destroyed, you won’t be harmed."

"That’s not right, aren’t both of you Main Gods? The world is destroyed, you should be affected, right?"

"No, no, that’s if the world suddenly collapses.

Actually, if it’s an event like this with omens and preparation time before the world’s collapse.

We have enough time to relinquish our Main God status, which allows us to escape the world about to collapse.

Even, there would be time to gather more resources from this world about to collapse.

It’s important to know that some resources, if seized, would severely impact the world’s operation.

But if this world is going to be destroyed anyway, then you don’t need to worry about these things.

Those resources are all valuable and in high demand, even in the Divine Realm they are hard currency!"

"I’m not leaving!"

Joanna pushed Afra away, her eyes reddening, "I was born in this world, grew up in this world; my family, close friends, and teachers are all in this world.

I’m not leaving!"

Afra sighed, "Sister, this is because you’ve just become a god and your feelings for your original world are too strong.

Actually, after a few hundred or a thousand years, your feelings for the current world would mostly fade.

Trust me, time will..."

Lette pushed her aside, "Enough from you, if you keep saying those downbeat things, I’ll lock you up."

"I’m doing this for Sister Joanna’s sake! There is still time to remove the position of Main God! When the world is about to collapse, it would be too late to regret it then."

Lette held no grudge against Afra in his heart; she had been divine for too long, and Divinity had gradually replaced her humanity.

He also understood Afra’s choice was extremely rational, and at the same time the best solution for Joanna and those who had the ability to leave the current world.

"Gods have the choices of gods, humans have the persistence of humans."

"I knew it..."

Afra spread her hands helplessly, "Actually, I was just saying, if you all don’t plan to leave, then I won’t leave either."

"Really?"

"Of course, I am very fond of this world, and my lovely believers.

If possible, of course, I wouldn’t want to give up on this world.

But alone, I might be powerless.

Fortunately, you’re here."

Afra approached Lette, looking at him with a grin, "You must have a way to solve this, right?"

"I’ll do my best to resolve it."

"I believe in you. So, you stay, I stay."

Lette hugged Joanna, smiling and looking at Afra, "As expected, although Lady Goddess might not be the brightest, her spirit and character are admirable."
