Chapter 279 I swear on my name and all my love for the goddess
The boy could not understand the difference between the Lord of the Abyss and the devil.

He only knew that in the words he had heard, the abyss and the devil were the same concept, and the Lord of something represented a higher power and person.

So, he was dizzy due to blood loss from the wound on his head.

The boy continued:

"Then can you help me get revenge and punish those insects of the church and their minions who are extraordinary beings?"

This time, the other party answered without any hesitation:

"I can help you."

The boy fell to the ground in great dizziness and weakness, and the blasphemous ritual representing 666 had completely lost its flame.

Because the candle that could theoretically burn until dawn had already been completely burned out with the other party's arrival.

But the boy still insisted and continued:

"Well, then, what I ask of you is that I want you to help me with revenge and help me make those dirty masters of the church pay the price!"

The other party answered without any pause or hesitation:

"I will do it."

The storm sea that had dissipated like a receding tide was now surging, as if something terrible had awakened in the depths of the ocean.

Everyone who saw or heard the surging ocean trembled from the bottom of their hearts.

The radiance of the two moons was still obscured by the darkness, as if the moonlight was also afraid of the darkness under the clouds.

The boy had already fallen to the ground, but his prayers were not over yet. In the infinite haze, he remembered to say in a reluctant whisper:
"They say that mortals will always be mortals, and that we can only be the mud under their feet forever. I hope that you can use your mortal power to let them know that mortals are not the mud under their feet."

No clergyman or extraordinary being in the New World had ever said these words to the boy.

But their actions and eyes were telling the boy this all the time.

Mortals will always be the mud under their feet!

Before he completely lost consciousness, the boy cried and asked pleadingly:

"May I?"

He knew that his request might be excessive, but this was his only chance. He wanted someone to tell him that mortals in this world were not limited to being the lowest class to be oppressed by everything.

But before he had answered without hesitation, but this time he was silent.

Under the endless fatigue, the boy realized the answer and asked in despair:
"So you can't do that either?"

The other party's voice sounded again, and it was not like the voice full of deception and lies in the stories the boy had heard.

Instead, it is full of sincerity:

"Child, mortals cannot rebel against gods. This is the underlying structure of this world. Even I cannot change this."

Man can conquer nature. It is a very beautiful phrase. It sounds full of courage and hope.

However, the reality is extremely cruel.

In a world where mortals literally cannot look directly at higher beings.

The power of human beings is so small and terrifying.
Even the Human Alliance that has begun to step into the starry sky can only become a plaything in front of high-sequence or even some special low-sequence.

The boy cried, and the coldness of his body could not withstand the despair at this moment.

"So, so it's really impossible?"

Look at such a poor child.

After a long period of thinking, the other party finally gave his answer:
"I can do it, but even I can only do it in a compromised way. So, can you accept even such a compromise?"

Before I am completely engulfed by endless sleepiness and coldness.

The boy answered in the affirmative:

"I accept!"

But the voice from the darkness continued, and that voice was still full of sincerity:
“What if I were to say that even if this is the case, in the end, everything will return to where it was?”

This sentence almost woke the boy up from his endless sleepiness. He suddenly opened his eyes and said:

"Will they continue to bully us, and will what we have experienced also happen to others?"

"No. They won't continue to bully you, and everything you've suffered won't happen to other people, because they will all die!"

Only this, the voice said with incomparable firmness.

"Why do you say that?"

His eyelids were extremely heavy, but the boy still stared at the figure in the dark.

The other party explained:
"Because the church cannot disappear, or rather, the order that the church represents must exist."

"And, kid, even with this compromising method, I will most likely not succeed. However, I can guarantee that I can definitely make the fallen people pay back with blood and life for life! This is not limited to one person, but the entire church and even this continent!"

"This is the only thing I can guarantee."

What will happen to the extraordinary world without order?

Let me put it this way, even if Rome was ten or a hundred times crazier, it wouldn't be as terrifying as this.

Because Rome was still maintained by order, slaves were still wealth that the superiors needed to manage.

The sound made it clear what the boy was hoping for.

The boy hoped that those high-ranking beings would never dare to bully them again.

But he also knew that even he couldn't do it completely.

This world is destined to be a pyramid structure.

However, fortunately, there is still a person standing at the top of this pyramid.

He also couldn't change the gap between mortals and higher beings, but he could make the situation of mortals a little better as much as possible.

Such as now.

If he succeeds, mortals and supernatural beings will know that although it was achieved through compromise, this is a sword that mortals can also wield.

If he fails, that doesn't matter, he will simply appear in an identity that the Fallen will never be able to resist.

No matter what, the corruption of the church will be eradicated! But for the boy, he was already satisfied.

"Even so, I accept it. Because it's enough, it's much more than I want."

The increasingly violent storm sea calmed down at this moment, and the moonlight in the sky pierced through the dark clouds and illuminated the earth.

The boy finally got a satisfactory answer, although his face turned completely pale.

But in the end, he still said with satisfaction:

"In return, you can take everything from me as payment."

After saying this, the boy lost consciousness.

Endless white frost spread from under the horse's hooves and wrapped the boy in ice.

Under the gradually emerging moonlight.

Moon, who was riding on the white Pegasus, jumped off the horse.

After stepping over the blasphemous number six, he walked to the frozen boy.

The belated king knelt on one knee in front of the boy and said to him:
"The only payment I ask of you is your forgiveness. I'm sorry, kid, I came back too late."

"When I come back, I will show you your father and a whole new world."

"I swear on my name and all my love for the goddess, child!"
-
Ms. Lily, who had already arrived in the New World, was now cleaning the statue in front of her.

She had little money left.

She donated all the money she had saved to support the warriors who went to the Old World to fight against the demons.

She also thought about the past, but finally gave up.

Because she found that she didn't have the courage.

I don't have the courage to risk my life for strangers.

So now she doesn't even have money to stay in a hotel and can only spend the night in the wild.

Fortunately, she found a dilapidated church.

Feeling that she couldn't live there for free, she took the initiative to clean up the statues in the church.

To be honest, this was the first time Lily saw a statue covered with moss and vines.

Although she had seen many similar statues in the Sacred Tree Forest, those statues did not climb up there because no one took care of them. They were clearly artistic creations.

It is the perfect embodiment of the elves’ aesthetics and craftsmanship.

And this one here, she couldn't even determine whose statue it belonged to.

It was badly infested by plants.

One can only barely determine that this is a statue of a goddess.

Considering that this is the New World and the main area of ​​influence of the Church of Storms, it could be the Goddess of Storms?

Ms. Lily wasn't sure, but she just thought it should be.

After pulling off a large amount of vines, Ms. Lily finally saw the face of the statue clearly.

It does look like the goddess of storms.

But it was somewhat different from the statue of the goddess of storm that she had seen before.

This one here seems a little different.

Ms. Lily couldn't tell what exactly was different.

That's what I feel.

After a brief gaze, Ms. Lily withdrew her gaze and prayed to the statue:
"Well, Your Majesty, I have helped you clean your statue, so I sincerely ask that you allow me to stay at your feet."

"If you don't say anything, it means you agree!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ms. Lily saw the moonlight above her head completely dim. Before she could react, she heard the surging waves outside, which were almost like a tsunami.

Even the candle she lit was extinguished in an instant.

"What? Your Majesty, I didn't blaspheme. I even cleaned the statue for you!"

Ms. Lily was genuinely horrified.

She had no idea what was happening on the other side, so she naturally thought that she might have offended the goddess.

But how did she offend the goddess?
Just because you want to stay overnight?

That doesn’t make sense, right?

What kind of blasphemy are those Storm Church clergymen out there? Why don't you come to them instead of me?! ?

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

Because the horrible sound of water soon subsided.

The candle that had just been extinguished was also lit.

Everything happened so fast that it was as weird as if she was just dreaming.

This made Ms. Lily feel confused and uncertain.

She could only look at the goddess statue tentatively and said:
"Um, you're not looking for me, are you?"

Naturally, no one answered her.

So Ms. Lily could only fall asleep leaning against the statue of the goddess in a state of shock.

She had been running around for several nights trying to save money again, and she really wanted to have a good sleep tonight.

Maybe she was really too tired, so she fell asleep peacefully as soon as she closed her eyes.

When the sun rises from the sky.

The beautiful elf with the lively ears was no longer here. In front of the statue that was carefully cleaned by Ms. Lily, a moon-white longbow was left here.
