The black wings covered her small body again, and she floated in mid-air with the flapping of her wings.
She used up all the divine power brought by those billions of sacrifices, precisely for this moment.
Vega has blocked all other paths for the gods to return.
Their only way home is through the skies of Shulbon, through the mouth of the Dark and Abundant Mother Goddess.
That is, born of this mother goddess.
After all, divine tokens are their only way to return to the human world.
Even if they really had to come back, Vega had another plan.
When they emerge from the mouth of the Dark Abundance Mother Goddess, they are labeled as 'evil gods'.
And don't forget, the goddess of justice is now always by Victor's side.
This is precisely why Vega made Victor agree to Astraea's request.
The gods harbored a deep hatred for the goddess of justice, while the goddess of justice hated evil itself.
Once the gods return, the first to clash will undoubtedly be these two sides.
"Since you're determined to come back no matter what, it's not too much for me to annoy you a little beforehand, is it?"
Vega, now transformed back into a crow, regained the sharpness of his voice.
The single eye on its forehead stared mockingly at the black, fleshy, writhing mouthparts.
This is precisely the strategy that Vega carefully designed.
After the gods return, won't they still have to rely on human faith to gain power?
But how could a person with a sound mind believe in an evil god?
Therefore, those who worship Vega are basically all demi-humans.
After all, they are the ones who are relatively easy to fool.
It should be noted that when these believers appeared, almost every resident of Shulburn at the time regarded Vega as an evil god.
Viktor, who had previously enjoyed a decent reputation, was instantly transformed into a lackey of the evil god, and his reputation deteriorated further.
Under such influence, people will hate the word 'evil god' even more.
This alone means that even if the gods were to return, their fighting power would be significantly weakened.
Because no one believes in them anymore.
What's more, they also have a powerful thug on their side.
...
"During this period, we must increase our efforts to promote this goddess of justice."
When Heim Horn heard of the possible return of the gods, he was utterly astonished and stood frozen in place for a long time, unable to recover.
At this moment, Viktor said directly to him:
"I don't need to go into the specifics of the propaganda. Given the Shulburn incident, they can smear me however they want."
Upon hearing this, Heim Horn paused for a moment, then slowly looked away.
"Wh...what do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Viktor turned his head.
He glanced at Astraea, who had already been sent away by him.
She remained completely absorbed in the theories of justice Victor had just discussed, seemingly oblivious to their conversation.
It seems this goddess's brain is a bit overheated and she won't be able to return to normal for a while.
Seeing her lost in thought, Victor turned to Heim Horn beside him and continued:
"The residents of Shulburn were evacuated before the final outcome, which means that the narrative of the battle is entirely in our hands."
Heim Horn blinked, carefully considering the deeper meaning behind Viktor's words.
Viktor then continued:
"They molded me into an emissary of an evil god, and then, did you see that silly goddess of justice?"
Victor turned his head slightly, glanced at the goddess who was still in a daze, and gestured for Heim Horn to also pay attention to her.
“Use her influence in Shulburn to portray her as a positive hero who vanquishes evil.”
"Make sure she gains the faith of the whole world before the other gods return."
Upon hearing this, Heim Horn's eyes widened, his pupils filled with shock:
"Are you crazy?"
"Isn't she... isn't she the enemy who has taken over your fiancée's body?"
"But she is also our best ally in the fight against the gods."
Victor, with his hands in his pockets, continued speaking with utmost calm.
Heim Horn paused for a moment, then looked at the stunned Astraea again, seemingly realizing the importance of something.
In other words, before the gods return, the faith in those gods must be weakened.
Once they do return, their divine power will be greatly diminished due to the lack of faith.
But this plan is undoubtedly fraught with risks.
The goddess of justice is an unstable variable, and Viktor's actions are tantamount to pushing himself into a fire pit.
The goddess of justice is powerful enough now.
If she gains the faith of all humanity, she could become an unstoppable force if she gets out of control.
“It’s okay. Even if she really loses control, I’m confident I can stop her.”
Heim Horn looked at Victor's confident demeanor, and then at the goddess's obedient appearance.
He suddenly felt that the plan might actually work.
That's right! As long as Viktor can win over this goddess, wouldn't all the problems be solved?
Well, Viktor, you'd better step up your game.
But Victor had no idea what Haim Horn was really thinking.
He meant that no matter how powerful the goddess of justice was, he was confident he could defeat her.
But seeing that Heim Horn suddenly relaxed, Victor had nothing more to say.
As long as he can understand, that's fine.
"So...you, the councilor...?"
"Let's return it to Cocotte first. We can't keep making her work so hard without getting anything in return."
Well, after all that back and forth, the senator was switched back again.
So I was part of your play too?
Just then, a jet-black crow flapped its wings and swooped down from the sky, landing lightly on Viktor's shoulder.
Heim Horn shuddered as he watched the raven return.
Heim Horn didn't pay much attention to it when he had only ever thought of it as Victor's pet.
Now we know that this guy is not only a genuine god, but he can also fight the goddess of justice to a standstill.
Heim Horn now feels that this guy is terrifyingly strong.
No wonder Victor always dares to take on beings like Calamity alone. With such a god as an ally, I could do it too!
"Is it all resolved?"
"I can make mistakes too?"
Vega proudly spread her wings, placed them on her chest, and stood tall with her head held high, striking a haughty pose.
Since that group of believers publicly summoned it, Vega no longer considers himself an ordinary crow.
Therefore, it no longer cares whether there are other people around when it speaks.
"Where to now?"
"I need to go back and explain some things."
There was nothing wrong with what was said, but when Vega heard it, it mocked and laughed:
"What, is it time to go back and hand over the grain?"
