"It seems like a very, very long time has passed... It really has been a very, very long time..."

A woman with healthy, wheat-colored skin, dressed in very revealing white fabric, walked down this modern street... quite revealing, even her waist, abdomen, arms, and almost her entire thighs were exposed.

She appeared to be a beautiful woman dressed in ancient Egyptian attire, walking barefoot on the street... Her blue-purple hair draped gently over her chest, covering the thin fabric beneath with another layer of protection.

She muttered to herself, looking at the pedestrians around her, who were essentially made up of souls, and then at the buildings that were also made up of souls... the neon lights, and the advertisements made up of words she couldn't understand.

Even... oneself, composed of a soul.

So... what exactly is going on now?

The woman asked this question with a hint of confusion in her eyes... She clearly remembered that she and the other gods sacrificed their very existence to turn the World Tree into a prison to imprison Chaos.

If she doesn't have a soul, then she naturally can't become a soul entity... What exactly is wrong with her now?

"Although we don't know exactly what happened, the times have changed so much that we couldn't have imagined it back then... and the children have finally grown into a civilization that amazes us all."

The woman marveled at this, looking at the billboards that covered the sky, and then at everything around her. She reached out and gathered mana, watching the aggressive attack pierce through the surrounding green lawn... passing through without causing any damage.

It's as if the attack and the world are on opposite sides of each other, just like the greatsword Raphael used to try to attack.

Although she realized this, the woman still didn't use the people around her to test her, fearing she might be wrong... From this, we can be sure that this being is truly very gentle.

"The children have become so amazing."

As she marveled, a glimmer of light shone in the woman's eyes—a light that defied easy comprehension. She commented, "Completely enveloping the sun, fully utilizing its energy… reversing the judgment of cause and effect [harm], and then [negating] its power…"

It is certain that although this person (god) used a rather fantastical term, she already understood the operating principles and functions of the Dyson Sphere and the Safe Zone System.

In just one minute, it was all done by simply looking at it.

"The presence of Mana is gone, and the World Tree can't be sensed... Has the Nine Realms been destroyed?"

"Yes, the collapse of the World Tree would indeed lead to the demise of Mana... Did the children who escaped to other worlds choose to use the power of the sun to replace Mana, and replace magic with steel?"

"Human settlements are amazing. I wonder what children of other races are like?"

The woman, making completely irresponsible guesses, couldn't help but smile... She was lavish in praising the children, just as if she were truly a mother.

Indeed, her love for living beings is the same as a mother's love for her children.

"Hiss hiss hiss~ Gods..."

Such a sound came from behind the woman. She was almost suffering from PTSD, and almost immediately she gathered a large amount of mana in her hand, and a terrifying and enormous power suddenly gathered.

If an attack were launched, it would inevitably create a blue-purple storm that could almost cover the entire city...

"..."

"Oh, I see... Is that you? Um... My name is Nephthys."

The woman, who had turned her head and seen the small snake, said this, as she put away the mana in her hand... On one hand, she realized that she was now in a [safe zone]; on the other hand, she also recognized that the snake in front of her was not a [god] but a [legacy].

Slightly relieved, the woman calmly looked at the small snake swimming on the ground before her and said, "That's true. If the Chaos God still existed, the world couldn't be this wonderful. So, did someone use you to kill her, who shared the same origin?"

From the very beginning, the gods had already confirmed that no deity could defeat it; the essence of its power was the serpent of the gods. Their only hope lay in expecting mortals to use the power of the serpent before them—a power called "Inheritance."

"Ah, you mean... my sister?"

From the tiny snake's mouth came a childlike voice, saying, "So that's how it is. You misunderstood time... Did you think it was countless trillions of years in the future?"

"???"

A woman named Nephthys... or rather, the goddess Nephthys looked around in confusion, not quite understanding the meaning of the Serpent's Shedding of Inheritance.

Otherwise, how could only tens of thousands of years have passed? Do children develop that quickly?

"It's only been a few thousand years since the Age of Gods..."

The little snake, named [Serpent's Shedding of Inheritance], casually said, "Moreover, your current location is within the body of the manifestation we sisters have recognized... My sister has also reformed and will not destroy the world."

"..."

Nephthys: "..."

There's a lot of information here; Nephthys is completely overwhelmed.

“A few days ago, in the outside world, the seal you and the other gods placed on Hell to seal away calamities exploded.”
