Capítulo 1192: Chapter 510: Medium

Without hiding anything, the Goddess of Light candidly stated her thoughts.

She wanted to try using Freyr’s existence as a medium to attempt to unite their godhoods.

Upon hearing this, she was shocked, but the Goddess of Agriculture was also somewhat skeptical.

Was this action really feasible? She felt it was somewhat unreliable.

“You also said that our godhoods actually originate from the world. So, Theia, do you think the world’s laws would tolerate such behavior?”

“Of course not.”

Nodding in acknowledgment, the Goddess of Light added:

“But not long ago, Coeus came to see me.”

“If his delusions could come true, to the point of splitting the godhood of other gods someday… if even such a thing could be done, then what could we possibly not do?”

“He might have some unknown trump card,” furrowing her brows, Demeter still shook her head, “but we don’t.”

“No, we do.”

Answering affirmatively, Theia then turned somewhat apologetic.

“It’s just that it involves the god who gave me the key to Alfheim, and the vows between us are far more binding than those with Coeus, thousands of times stronger.”

“I can’t disclose the specific reason, but I’m certain there is an opportunity.”

“It’s just that before you, I hadn’t made up my mind, instead constantly suppressing the influence of godhood on me.”

“It was the ‘love’ you infused into me that broke all this, causing me to choose to make a desperate fight!”

“…”

Still harboring doubts in her heart, Demeter thought that since the Goddess of Light had already been struck by an arrow, she at least wouldn’t deceive her in such a place.

Just about to ask something more, at this moment, Theia’s expression suddenly changed slightly.

“… Let’s stop here for now. There’s a matter I need to handle.”

Taking out a rune sealed with Braki’s relic, Theia said softly.

Upon seeing this and understanding, Demeter knew this was in response to the person who had given the ‘key.’

“Alright… you go ahead.”

“But Theia, before you go, since we have completely left Alfheim, can you tell me now?”

Nodding in understanding, although curious, Demeter was still aware of her limits.

The existence that even the Goddess of Light valued so much, it’s better not to do anything unnecessary.

But in the end, she still raised a question that she had pondered for a long time.

“Theia, remember before, all along the way, you kept emphasizing to me the dangers of Alfheim.”

“I believed your words and didn’t mess around there, even if you didn’t know what the danger was.”

“But speaking of… what initially led you to have this thought that there truly was a threat there?”

Yes, everything had a reason.

The Goddess of Light might not know the secret of Alfheim, but since she had such apprehension, there must be a reason, right?

With eyes full of expectation, Demeter looked up, only to be met with a very confused look from Theia.

“Didn’t you ask me this question when we were in Alfheim?”

“Did I… ask that?”

“Yes.”

With a peculiar nod, the Goddess of Light slowly said:

“Didn’t I tell you back then?”

“The reason I value that place so much… is because the world itself values it as I do, and that is my reason.”

“What’s wrong with that?”

It wasn’t complicated; Theia reacted like this simply because there were more than one remnants of the Nine Realms of Chaos World, potentially merging into the world’s interior or becoming semi-independent interfaces.

But no matter which one, they all followed some principle, gravitating towards deities whose laws were similar to their own.

Just like a deity who discovered the Land of the Dead would inevitably have a destined connection with Death, the Dark Realm directly fell into the hands of the Dark Overlord.

The Principal God holds the authority over the sea, so Vanaheim turned a blind eye to Poseidon’s divine artifact.

Surtr was the original protagonist of Twilight of the Gods, so it fell into Abyss Hell, becoming a part of chaos in the world.

However, unlike them, Alfheim has never fallen into the world.

Since it was captured, it has always hovered at the edge of the world, like Niflheim, bound by the chains of law.

Without the ‘key,’ no one can breach these shackles and enter.

It’s like the source of evil creatures being still trapped, unable to leave the prison that confines it.

Faced with such a scenario, even without knowing the reason for the seal, Theia could be sure that something irremovable lay entrenched in Alfheim.

…

Several days later, at the core of the Zodiacal Star Domain.

Within the Hall of Valor, space distorted slightly.

Then a spear emerged from it, piercing straight into the ground of the hall.

Light and shadow flickered as the figure of the Victory Goddess emerged from within.

“Whew… whew… whew…”

“Thankfully I was smart enough not to wait at the entrance for them to come out.”

“Otherwise, I might have shared in this bizarre trouble.”

After taking several long breaths, Nikki patted her chest, as if something had startled her.

But if one looked closely into her eyes, they’d see that it wasn’t the case at all.

Feeling scared was impossible. As the most handy weapon of the great master, and one of the symbols of the law of victory in Chaos, Nikki never thought that if she really got into trouble, no one would come to rescue her.

Besides, within the Chaos World, no force could cause trouble here.

It’s crucial to understand that even on the other side of the Void, when Hemenu hadn’t shattered, the reason Laine could project his power within was because the powers of both worlds had already begun intertwining long before.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn’t act wantonly in another world.

Thus when taking away the rune sealed with Braki’s relic, Nikki noticed the other side’s more active godhood than usual.

If there were no surprises, it was the force of the present world that cleansed things that shouldn’t have been on the other side.

It showed that in most situations, even though the world’s laws were rather rigid, they were quite reliable.

“Hmm… Master truly is farsighted, knowing the complexities inside long ago.”

“Moreover, since my power doesn’t match as well as the God of Light’s, that’s why they were sent over.”

“Fortunately, now that everything is gathered, I should also offer them as a sacrifice.”

In a good mood, Nikki casually summoned a pile of materials and set up an altar in the Hall of Valor, then drew a rune symbolizing the ancient gods.

Placing Braki’s relic on it, as the sacrifice commenced, the original seals began to be dismantled.

Before long, the Void undulated, and space seemed to overlap here.

At a certain moment, Nikki seemed to see a pale hand sweep across, and then the altar became empty again.

Behind the Void, the figures overlapped each other.

She looked at Nikki and nodded slightly towards her.

“This is…”

Slightly hesitating, a trace of realization flashed across her eyes.

If there was still someone in this world who knew Athena best, it might be only her.

After cleaning up the altar, Nikki left the Hall of Valor.

For the short term, there wasn’t much she needed to do.

Glancing over to the Earth at whim, she had heard that there was once a renowned deity among humans. Like the goddess, he was also known for his wisdom.

However, his greatest achievement in life wasn’t intelligence, but the creation of humans, and even more, the ‘theft of fire.’

Theft of fire wasn’t just stealing flames; it was also stealing the divine right to control humans… In Nikki’s view, whether from the aspect of wisdom, ‘creation,’ or ‘theft of fire,’ he somewhat didn’t live up to his name.

Compared to the goddess, only his lifespan was worth mentioning.
