Chapter 271: For a Proper Farewell (Part 1) She Will Do It...
The blood flowing from her forehead stuck to the woman's eyes, and she moved forward silently, dragging her broken foot.
Benedict had never been so embarrassed.
No, before she became Pope, she was in a much worse state than she is now.
Even after becoming Pope, she still did not forget the pain she had experienced because of years of luxury.
She stopped, made sure there were no other people or aliens around, and raised her staff to heal herself.
She knew herself very well, so she understood that the higher she stood, the worse her situation would be when she fell.
It's because she is not a good person, but good people don't necessarily live a good life.
Her calm eyes stared at the magic of the staff wrapping around her, and her fingertips moved along the staff bit by bit.
She was not good at fighting, so it was expected that she would get injured when facing the magician who broke the covenant.
Benedict didn't have to come to the Western Continent, but she came anyway. Yes, why?
She raised her eyes, her light purple pupils looking through the white clouds in the sky, as if she was thinking about something.
——
The Simpalai ruins entered an orderly reconstruction phase. Kaharun and Arnold were the main force against the wandering corrupted spirits the day before yesterday. The two great craftsmen, Bringa, did not ask them to help, but only let them rest.
Kaharun always felt that there was something strange about Vifiya after she came out of the White Realm, but he couldn't tell what was strange about her.
Is it because he hasn't recovered from the bullying by that dwarf craftsman named Kelum?
Damn it! Why did he die in the White Realm? He hasn't been punished yet!
Kaharun put his ear to the door of Vifiya's room in the Simparai ruins, listening intently to the sounds inside.
Isidore's flat voice came from behind: "What are you doing?"
He turned around.
"You look like a pervert." Osa stared at him, her eyes gradually becoming indescribable.
"If you were not Kaharun, I would have challenged you to a duel," Arnold said.
The corners of Kaharun's mouth twitched, and he lowered his voice: "Am I that kind of person! Am I that kind of person! Don't you think Vifiya has been acting weird lately?"
After saying this, his eyes rolled and fell on Osa. Ever since the two of them came out of the White Realm, he wanted to ask, "Are you two having a conflict in there?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the other two also looked at her.
"No." It wasn't Osa who spoke.
They looked in the direction of the sound and saw the door in front of them opened.
Vifiya glanced at Isidore and the other two, then said to Kaharun, "If it's something related to me, you can ask me directly if you have any questions."
Finally, he added: "I can hear you."
She moved aside to let them in.
As soon as Isidore entered, he subconsciously cast a soundproofing spell. Kaharun knew what she meant by that sentence, and he asked, "Why are you acting so strangely lately?"
Vifiya answered honestly: "I was shocked."
"What really happened between you and Osa!" Kaharun's eyes moved back and forth between the two girls.
"No, it has nothing to do with Osa." This was also what Vifiya said.
Although she was indeed frightened by Osa's confession the day before yesterday, it did not hit her hard. On the contrary, she was still very happy that Osa said those words to her.
As they walked in, their attention was drawn to the things on her desk.
Next to the quill was a large sheaf of parchment and a neatly arranged pile of letters.
Without waiting for them to ask, Vifiya explained, "A letter to some people in the East Continent."
Arnold and the other three lowered their heads at the table. The recipient of the top envelope was Aulite François.
Although he didn't know why she suddenly wanted to write to them, Kaharun still asked the most important question: "Can they receive it? We are now in the Western Continent."
Isidore: "Last time we tried, the magic power in the Western Continent still couldn't be transferred to the Eastern Continent."
Vifiya motioned for them to sit down: "Yes."
She picked up her quill and continued writing, saying, "Soon, the veil between the East and West continents will be lifted."
The four people who had just sat down looked at her immediately.
Vifiya, who noticed their gazes, didn't even look up. "I've seen Goddess Lehomi twice, once six years ago, and once in the White Realm the day before yesterday."
Technically three times, including the one on St. Fagus Island.
Isidore and the others knew that she would often tell them unusual things, and they were somewhat accustomed to it, but they could not help being surprised.
Because that is the goddess Lehomi. No matter whether they believe in her or not, or whether they care or not, she is the god who is above the world, the god who created the world. Even if there is no news about her now, even if she seems to have ignored the world, no one can deny her status.
In the final analysis, none of them could be considered as believers of the goddess, and each of them could feel this as they interacted with each other.
Arnold once believed it, but before he became a fanatical believer, the first thing he realized was to believe in himself.
Isidore never believed in God, or rather, as a person who once didn't even care about himself, he never cared about the existence of God.
Osa grew up in the Vatican. Everyone originally thought that she would be the most devout among them, but it turned out that she believed more in the sword in her hand than in God.
On the contrary, Kaharun had some faith in Salis's reverence for the goddess, but his long experience made it impossible for him to truly pin his hopes on a god who would not respond to him. Even though he would choose to escape or deliberately turn a blind eye when encountering some things, what he believed most was his own choice.
They respect the goddess, but that doesn't mean they believe in her.
Therefore, at this moment, no one made any special remarks about the coming of God; they were more concerned about another issue.
"Why did He look for you?" Arnold asked seriously.
Vifiya put down the quill and put the newly written letter into the envelope. She raised her eyes and looked at the four pairs of eyes staring at her: "As you can see, I am not Vifiya."
She suddenly brought up herself as if to change the subject, and the attention of Isidore and the other three inevitably became more focused.
"I come from another world."
Even though they had a vague guess, they still felt the answer was strange. When they were young, some of them had wondered whether there was a world outside this world, but when they got Vifiya's confirmation, they still had a sense of unreality.
They believed her and did not regard her words as proof of madness. They inexplicably felt that questioning her might be cruel to her.
They looked at the familiar girl, her figure became blurred, and at this moment, they seemed to understand why they felt she was far away.
Isidore opened his mouth and asked subconsciously: "Do you want to go back?"
Because she doesn't belong here.
"My family is there." Vifiya lowered her eyes, a gentle frown on her face. In her mind, she recalled the other world that was no longer blurry, and the faces of her family. She looked up and smiled, "They all love me very much."
What will happen to her family when she disappears?
Sometimes she selfishly hoped that her family would forget her while she was away.
If you forget, you won’t be sad.
She clearly didn't see it, but her memory still inexplicably recalled the scene of her mother and father secretly wiping away tears and her brother looking sad.
"If they can't see me again in their lifetime, they will probably be very, very sad." She didn't want her family to shed tears until they died because they couldn't see her again.
What's more, they didn't even say goodbye.
Her eyes were calm, even with a hint of a smile, but Isidore and the other three saw a persistence in them.
When talking about her family, she is happy.
She hadn't come here of her own free will, and they all realized that.
The room felt a little heavy.
Kaharun's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was a little hoarse: "You were kidnapped to this world, right?"
The four of them suddenly felt helpless. She could have lived happily with her family instead of coming to this world and suffering in order to survive and find a way to return.
They didn't know how much she'd tried to get back, but they'd seen a lot of what the world had put in her, hadn't they?
Didn’t they all see how difficult it was for her to get here step by step?
This is most likely the source of all her suffering, which she didn't have to endure.
They were naturally happy to meet her, but what if meeting them would make her sad?
Ah, the dust monument of fate, did meeting them make her fate even worse?
Kaharun's description made Vifia a little stunned. She had never thought about the word "kidnapping", but it seemed so appropriate to her.
She still didn't answer his question.
“Swish—”
Osa supported herself on the table, and her chair was pushed back several steps as she stood up suddenly. She looked directly at Vifiya with a piercing gaze: "If there is a problem, we will solve it. Isn't it about finding a way to get back? If we can come here, we can definitely go back!"
"That's right!" Kaharun slammed his hand down on the table. "Let's work together to find a solution!"
Arnold quickly connected the topic that Vifiya had previously jumped to: "Your..." He thought for the right words, "Travel through time, is it related to God?"
"If it's God." Isidore didn't take his eyes off her. "Can you tell us why God did this?"
Vifiya looked at the four people whose eyes were filled with determination. From the moment she decided to tell them, she had no intention of lying. They would know it sooner or later anyway. "Because the world began to show abnormalities a long time ago, it will fall into irreversible collapse. I was found by Him to maintain the world."
Without waiting for their reaction, she smiled softly: "I called you here today for something more important."
Several people waited quietly for her next words.
She glanced at the envelope on the table and said, "He came to me the day before yesterday to ask me to make preparations in advance."
"He will open the giant screen and tell the whole world the truth about everything in the East and West continents. He hopes that I can kill him."
Kaharun's eyes widened. The other three obviously didn't expect things to develop like this. When she first said that the world would collapse, they were already very surprised, and even more so, they felt guilty towards her.
It seems that they are still sorry for her. The world is the world they live in. No matter what it becomes, it should be solved by themselves, because the world also has their cherished family and friends. If everything really cannot be solved, then they should say goodbye to their family and friends in the remaining days of the world instead of involving her, an innocent person.
"So, I called you here today to say goodbye." As if knowing what they were thinking, Vifiya interrupted them in time before they continued thinking.
"I have come, and the collapse of the world has been alleviated. God has given me a final solution. Kill Him, and the collapse of the world will stop. The world will no longer need me."
"I'll do it," she said.
She knew she had to do it, both for herself and for them.
Even though she was filled with anger.
