After hearing Astraea's words, Victor's expression turned somewhat strange.

What?

"Let me teach you what justice is?"

He turned around and looked around at the land.

At this moment, dust rose up from the ground.

Besides the boundless expanse, there was only that one towering divine tree reaching into the clouds.

There was nothing else besides that.

This place was once a wealthy and prosperous city; now, it has vanished into thin air.

All of this was Viktor's doing.

"Do you call this justice?"

Victor frowned.

His only intention was to change Astraea's mindset; after all, Astraea was currently possessing Gwen's body.

If she could completely change her mind and voluntarily leave Gwen's body, that would obviously be a better option.

But now it seems that this guy has a plan to stay with Gwen forever and refuse to leave.

Victor didn't have many insights into the issue of justice either.

If he were considered part of the righteous side, then there would probably be no evil villains in this world.

Viktor had a very clear understanding of his identity.

Therefore, he was prepared to refuse Astraea's request.

"Ahem, you want my divine messenger to be your teacher?"

Before he could even speak, Vega had already slowly floated down from mid-air.

Her petite body sat naturally on Victor's shoulder, one leg crossed over the other and slightly raised.

It seems as if this position was tailor-made for her.

The moment Astraea saw Vega, she looked up, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes hidden beneath her helmet.

She gripped the silver sword beside her slightly, and her silver armor trembled slightly.

A fierce aura suddenly rose from the earth, and the previously dim holy light shone brightly once more.

Her instinct was to attack Vega.

But when she noticed Victor's gaze fixed on her, Astraea suppressed the urge to attack.

"Victor, look at her! She's trying to hit me again!"

Vega stared wide-eyed, perched on Victor's shoulders, and feigned surprise, opening her mouth wide as she shouted.

Her slender, small arm stretched out straight, pointing towards Astraea in front of her.

She seemed to have been wronged and was venting her dissatisfaction to Viktor.

But soon, Vega's expression changed dramatically.

She raised her head haughtily, looking down at the kneeling goddess of justice, her previous feigned surprise replaced by a smug expression.

The mockery in her eyes grew increasingly obvious and undisguised.

You little brat, the teachers you want to worship are all my people, what do you have to fight me with?

"Stop messing around, Vega."

Viktor's voice slowly rang out, followed by Vega's voice suddenly rising several octaves.

"What?! You're saying I'm making a scene? Viktor, what do you mean by that?!"

"You've been back for so long and haven't even contacted me, and now you're saying I'm being unreasonable?"

"Well, you haven't been back for ten years. You must have forgotten me by now, right? Or have you found another crow out there?"

Viktor frowned slightly, his face filled with silence, unsure how to refute him.

Why is Vega becoming more and more like a resentful woman? Could it be related to her transformation from a crow into a woman?

No, that's not right. When she was still a crow, Vega liked to make jokes like that.

But now that he has truly become a human, he is finding it difficult to adapt for the time being.

For example, she used to make him kiss her.

Viktor reached up and touched his chin, looking somewhat confused.

Why would he think in that direction?

But Vega's temper flared up quickly and subsided just as fast; she had already calmed herself down before Victor could even speak.

"Oh well, never mind."

She crossed her arms, raised her head, and struck a haughty pose.

"I'll reluctantly forgive you."

This rapid change in attitude makes one wonder if the previous outburst was all an act.

But Victor knew Vega well and knew that she would soon make her demands.

"But you have to promise me one thing."

See, both the anger before and the forgiveness now are just paving the way for the demands to come later.

Viktor was well aware of this, so he cooperated by answering directly:

"What's up?"

Vega hummed twice, then opened one of his eyes, which shimmered with amethyst-like light.

He glanced contemptuously at Astraea, who was still kneeling on the ground.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips, as if he were saying something with a mixture of anticipation and amusement:

"You have to say yes."

At this moment, not only Victor, but also Astraea raised their heads.

His eyes, hidden beneath the helmet, widened slightly as he stared at Vega with a puzzled expression.

She seemed unable to understand why her enemy would suddenly speak up for her.

Viktor realized this as well; it seemed that Vega had seen through his intention to reject Astraea.

However, Vega's insistence on him agreeing to the goddess of justice left Victor bewildered.

So, he frowned and replied in a low voice:

"Why?"

He didn't want to be entangled with this goddess of justice; this monstrous goddess was someone that ordinary people couldn't control.

Especially her extreme views on good and evil.

In this goddess's eyes, the world is black and white, with only absolute good and absolute evil.

If he were to take her with him, even simple outings would become a challenge for Viktor.
