Seeing this, Gu Xinghe's expression became somewhat serious.

He looked at the "Chastity" in front of him, although outwardly her appearance had not changed at all.

But Gu Xinghe knew—

The body in front of him now is no longer the one that discovered his identity at the last moment.

Therefore, the school board members and the bishop of the Thorn Cult were extremely hostile towards him.

Within the body of the person before them, a terrifying will seemed to be slowly awakening.

What is certain is that what is before us is neither the true form of the gods nor the entirety of them.

Only a very small part of the Goddess of Thorns was attached to [Chastity].

Gu Xinghe had seen a statue of the Goddess of Thorns—

It was the image of a goddess with her eyes covered by a veil.

The thorny branches that grow around her feet and all around her symbolize that the goddess was born from the purest suffering.

But in reality, Gu Xinghe could actually sense something from the being before him—

The title of "Goddess of Thorns" is merely a personification used to express her identity.

The being before me may not be female, or even in human form.

It was only because they were the first human to witness the "Goddess of Thorns".

The image of the Goddess of Thorns was established by associating her with the impressions of a suffering goddess and a noble deity.

That is human subjective observation, the image of the gods as people believe them to be.

But looking at the thorn goddess before him, Gu Xinghe could sense—

That is not its "objective, true appearance".

Just as now, when He descended upon Chastity.

The "Goddess of Thorns" presented to Gu Xinghe had transformed into a serious and rigid old man.

What humans care about is not what She cares about; the Goddess of Thorns desires only the deepest suffering itself.

His appearance itself signifies the arrival of the essence of suffering.

Gu Xinghe noticed—

As the vessel of the Goddess of Thorns, the [chaste] body before him was collapsing at an extremely rapid pace.

It's as if it's being corroded by a polluting toxin.

This kind of pollution and toxins will gradually cause changes in the human body and mind, until finally leading to complete pollution and depravity.

Even if the Goddess of Thorns chose to leave immediately, this body was already destined to completely collapse in the near future.

Because this body was clearly not capable of enduring the arrival of the Goddess of Thorns for an extended period of time.

In other words, when the Goddess of Thorns possesses [Chastity].

The consciousness and the physical body of chastity have already died.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe was gazing at the Goddess of Thorns for longer and longer.

A sharp, alarming sound, like a danger warning, kept ringing in his mind.

As the discomfort throughout his body intensified, Gu Xinghe had already sensed the impending danger.

That's why he didn't "save" the other people present who were suffering because of the giant eyeballs.

It was also because he sensed that some unknown danger was about to appear.

Rather, it seems that he now also has a sense of "inescaping his fate".

At this moment, Gu Xinghe took out a sharp blade from his storage space and suddenly stabbed it at the Thorn Goddess in front of him.

However, the figure of the other party, which could be seen with the naked eye, was so solid.

But at this moment, Gu Xinghe's blade seemed to pass directly through his body through an illusory projection.

Even if one descends into this world through a body of "chastity".

However, Gu Xinghe discovered that the other party seemed to still be in another dimension, a kind of spatial projection.

After his first attack failed, Gu Xinghe tried to increase the force or change the angle of his attack.

It wasn't that Gu Xinghe didn't want to use the same kind of mental pollution attack on him as the Thorn Goddess in front of him now.

Instead, he was already suffering from a splitting headache due to the mental pollution the other party had poured on him.

It's as if the pain-sensing fibers in the brain have been amplified countless times, and even the slightest movement of the mind feels like a severe trauma.

But looking at Gu Xinghe in front of her, he was already in great pain.

The Goddess of Thorns still did not show any signs of happiness or satisfaction.

He simply continued to watch him with indifference and calm.

He doesn't need to do anything.

Simply by existing here, He is the essence of suffering and calamity.

The concept of pain will continue to spread outwards.

"Violators—Removed—"

But amidst this continuous spiritual pollution...

Suddenly, Gu Xinghe heard the voice of the Goddess of Thorns echoing in his mind.

It was a strange whisper that he couldn't understand or comprehend before.

But when that voice rang in his mind, Gu Xinghe inexplicably understood its meaning.

That wasn't exactly human language, but rather the understanding that Gu Xinghe could make.

“Dang—”

The knife he was holding fell to the ground.

Gu Xinghe crouched on the ground in pain, clutching his forehead.

He felt as if something strange was happening inside his body, as if countless hands were constantly stirring his internal organs.
