A chill, like the biting winds of the North, ran down Michaela’s spine.
She looked up, staring at Gwen, who was riding a horse with a cold expression, and stood there frozen in place.
"She...is she also a divine messenger?"
Michaela circled Gwen several times with a curious and confused look in her eyes.
Despite being blindfolded, she moved as if she had normal vision.
He went from one place to another, carefully observing Gwen.
Her silver armor gleamed in the sunlight, and she sat solemnly and calmly on horseback, allowing Michaela to look her over at will.
Michaela stared at the woman for a long time, feeling utterly bewildered by her extreme indifference.
"That's...strange."
She murmured to herself.
The noble knight in front of me was so cold-hearted.
He was so indifferent that he didn't seem like a normal person at all.
It was as if all her emotions had been ripped away.
She was like an unmoving statue, and nothing could touch her emotions in the slightest.
What puzzled Michaela the most was that she didn't sense any divine power in Gwen at all.
As a divine messenger, she should possess divine power.
What kind of divine power does she possess, and which deity's messenger does she represent on earth?
Now, because she cannot sense Gwen's divine power, she cannot even determine which god Gwen represents.
Michaela turned to look at Viktor and asked in confusion:
Has she lost her emotions?
Viktor responded calmly:
"As you can see."
Michaela fell silent.
The most crucial point for a divine messenger to travel among humans is that he or she must be in perfect harmony with the divine.
Personality, strength, understanding of the world…
Everything needs to be highly consistent.
Like Michaela, although she is not 100% similar to the goddess of fertility, she shares nearly 80% of the same characteristics.
Gwen had no divine power, but Victor told her that this was a divine messenger just like her.
Michaela pondered in silence for a while.
What kind of deity could possibly make a person so indifferent, completely devoid of emotion?
But soon, an answer appeared in her mind.
Michaela clapped her hands and asked in a tone of sudden realization:
"The Goddess of Justice?"
Victor nodded.
When Michaela heard that her guess had been confirmed, she suddenly felt as if something was stuck in her throat.
Suddenly I don't know what to say anymore.
Why did Michaela react this way?
That's because the church of the goddess of justice and other churches of other gods are almost complete enemies.
When the gods left the mortal realm and abandoned humanity, who had disappointed them, only the Goddess of Justice remained, steadfastly remaining among humankind.
The goddess of justice still wants to believe in humanity, which leads to people's attitude towards her being far better than towards other gods.
At one point, people worshipped the goddess of justice to a degree far exceeding that of other deities.
Undeniably, the goddess of justice's actions caused great disappointment among believers of other gods regarding their own.
The gods departed, but she remained.
In that era, believers sought divine protection mostly for the sake of their own safety.
The gods all left the human world, so believers who worshipped other gods turned to the goddess of justice and abandoned their original faith.
After all, the other gods have left, so why should these believers, who are seeking a safe haven, still worship them?
Only a divine messenger like Michaela, possessing divine power and almost perfectly aligned with the goddess, could achieve this.
They can also continue to lead some believers to faithfully believe in their former gods.
However, because of this incident, Michaela didn't particularly like the goddess of justice.
The gods pay the price for the actions of believers.
So she asked Victor directly;
"So... what is her relationship with you?"
"My fiancée."
Got it, can't afford to mess with them.
Upon hearing this, Michaela immediately changed her attitude.
Her brow, which had been furrowed by the goddess of justice, relaxed, and she became even more earnest and enthusiastic.
"The only god I can think of who has no emotions is the goddess of justice."
Because any emotion can influence the goddess's just judgment.
Fairness is the fundamental doctrine for upholding justice.
Therefore, the goddess of justice severed all her emotions and became an absolute judgment machine.
Fair, selfless, and ruthless.
But after this situation continued for some time, something even more terrible happened.
As the number of followers of the goddess of justice grew, an extreme and distorted ideology began to emerge among them:
The absolute justice upheld by the Goddess of Justice is the only truth in this world.
When they discover that someone is slandering the goddess of justice, or that someone's actions violate justice.
They will not hesitate to use violence to defend their beliefs.
Over time, to avoid becoming targets of attacks, more and more people were forced to join their churches.
As the saying goes, "A large forest has all kinds of birds."
The believers among them gradually became extremely fanatical, using all sorts of extreme forms of justice to judge humanity.
This situation is like a plague; once it starts, it spreads rapidly among believers.
In the end, it affected the entire church and even the rule of major countries, triggering a wave of wars.
The goddess of justice exists in the world precisely because she does not want to see war.
When war broke out in the world again, even she became completely disillusioned with humanity and left this world.
The goddess's departure finally brought some rationality to those extreme believers, and the church of the goddess of justice was no longer as large as it once was.
