But the only response she received was Viktor's firm statement:
“Link me.”
Vega was slightly taken aback.
Then, as if in resignation, she closed her eyes.
"Okay, you're my most important partner."
"If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"
At the same time, the goddess in the sky turned her gaze back to them.
She stared coldly at Vega in Viktor's arms:
"So, he's still alive."
"As expected, evil cannot be eliminated so easily."
The next moment, she opened her arms again.
The sharp blade in his hand slowly disappeared, replaced by a scale gently swaying in his hand.
Then, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun, a hole was gradually torn in the thick black curtain above the sky.
A divine light slowly descended from the sky, enveloping Victor and Vega.
Suddenly, the goddess of justice paused slightly.
She sensed a tremendous power emanating from the human.
Following the source of the power, she refocused her 'gaze' on Viktor.
Bathed in holy light, he embraced the black goddess and looked up at the sky.
The silence in his deep obsidian eyes faded, replaced by a flowing azure.
Its majestic momentum is like a churning ocean, surging and surging.
[MP: ? / ?]
"I just said something."
His words carried an absolute authority that brooked no refusal.
The immense power and the magic that coalesced became increasingly heavy and ferocious.
But Viktor's words remained calm.
"I won't let you lose."
As soon as the words were spoken, the dark array in the sky began to stir again, its dark light surging wildly and chaotically.
Then, the ram's head that had been pierced by the light blade began to stir again.
"[The world finally learns that encountering that distant thing will ultimately lead to an ancient madness.]"
The enormous flesh seemed to tremble every inch, emanating a black aura filled with evil intent, as if it wanted to taint this world with filth.
Black smoke swept across half of the space, as if offering this tiny nothingness to a more mysterious being.
Seeing the scene before her, the goddess of justice felt alarmed and on high alert.
The scales in her hands also began to swing violently.
The speed and intensity of the trembling also astonished her.
The aura emanating from this man made the Goddess of Justice feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.
She had to stop this man immediately.
But no matter what she did, she couldn't match Viktor's speed.
Immediately afterwards, a gate to the dead, shrouded in eerie green smoke, appeared behind Viktor.
Two heavy doors slowly opened, and from behind the mist and the earth, countless golden ears of wheat suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
"[A horrifying terror, pure horror, an eeriness beyond abundance—all will ultimately transform into the sins of chaos and madness brought about by the wise.]"
Suddenly, Victor shouted again:
"Mikaela".
The moment the words left his mouth, the golden ears of wheat were enveloped by a rapidly spreading dark aura.
Each ear of wheat was shrouded in a thick darkness, becoming bent and terrifying.
Then, countless ears of wheat burst forth from the ground, merging into the high sky and blocking the gaps in the black curtain of the sky.
Above the sky, the original holy light was suddenly blocked and extinguished.
The moment she sensed the divine power vanish, the Goddess of Justice froze in place once more.
Now, the black curtain in the sky seemed to have transformed into a thick, endless cloud formation.
They began to boil, like hot bubbles rising from magma, ready to burst forth.
Countless hideous tentacles burst forth from the surface of the flesh, twitching wildly.
Then, from the center of the dark clouds, a huge maw, reeking of foul-smelling slime, split open.
Sharp teeth were scattered haphazardly along the edges of the mouthparts, and foul-smelling mucus mingled with hideous hair, creating an atmosphere of absolute blasphemy and madness.
Upon witnessing this scene, the goddess of justice was momentarily stunned.
Meanwhile, Vega, who was in Victor's arms, gradually changed from a pained expression to one of surprise and astonishment.
Finally, her gaze shifted slightly to Victor, who was focused on casting magic, and she gradually felt relieved.
She lied to Victor.
As an omniscient evil god, how could Vega not understand the steps of magic?
That prank sheep's head was entirely intentional on her part.
She had seen Victor unleash countless spells, so she wanted to try it herself.
Could she use the excuse of a mistake to get Viktor to perfect the magic she cast?
She deliberately withheld some of her divine power, not using it all, intending to give it to Victor.
But she didn't expect that Victor had already anticipated the possibility of a lack of divine power and had already prepared those believers for her.
No, Victor did not do it intentionally.
However, Victor was used to being fully prepared for everything.
And now...
"【The terrifying yet noble Mother, the revered and supreme】"
"Ugliness and sin become nourishment, death and madness solidify into flesh and blood."
"[It will ultimately be dedicated to mystery itself, bestowing a dark abundance upon the pure world.]"
As soon as the words were spoken, the ferocious head of the goat, which had been floating in the air, gradually rose into the sky.
Enveloped in black mist, it slowly sank into the depths of the thick, dark clouds' mouth.
Finally, amidst the chewing sounds from the dark creature's mouth, a murmur like that of sheep gradually echoed.
As Vega gazed at the sky, a thought flashed through his mind.
She believed that Victor would immediately appear by her side after seeing her injured.
Therefore, Vega took advantage of this and deliberately took the attack from the Goddess of Justice.
That's right, Vega succeeded.
This wasn't a gamble; it was her trust in Viktor.
Perhaps even Vega herself couldn't explain why, upon first seeing Victor, she was convinced that only he could become her one and only divine messenger.
And from the very beginning, I trusted him deeply.
But now, Vega has confirmed his guess.
Victor,
"You really are..."
Finally, Vega's words were gradually drowned out by the chaotic sounds rising from the sky and Victor's final chant.
"[Pure things will eventually transform into—]"
