Victor did not immediately respond to Cocotte's confession.
Or rather, it wasn't that he didn't want to agree, but that Cocotte simply didn't give him the chance.
After confessing her feelings, the Elf Queen summoned the other elves before Victor could reply.
Immediately afterwards, Cocot urged the elves to prepare themselves mentally.
After announcing that he would give the natural realm to Viktor and open the Elf Forest, Kokot never mentioned it again.
It was as if none of this had ever happened.
Throughout, everything about the Elf Queen seemed natural and smooth; to outsiders, her relationship with Victor remained unchanged.
If it weren't for the title "Liberator of the Elves," Viktor might have even doubted whether he was dreaming.
It seems that Cocotte just wanted him to know about it, without expecting him to take any responsibility.
This made Viktor feel an inexplicable sense of guilt, like that of a scumbag.
But that feeling quickly dissipated, especially after Vega and 'Gwen' returned.
Both sides tacitly acted as if nothing had happened, remaining silent and not uttering a word.
At this moment, Vega and 'Gwen', who had just returned, were in a terrible state.
Thick dust and dirt covered their black feathers or armor, as if draped in a thin mist.
Vega's feathers were fluffy and disheveled, and the feathers on his chest had been eroded by the wind and waves, forming a small pit.
And 'Gwen' on the side wasn't much better off.
The armor was covered in dust, with specks of dirt clinging to the seams.
It seemed that even her holy radiance was obscured by this layer of dust, becoming somewhat dim.
This was the first time Victor had seen the goddess of justice so disheveled, looking as if she had just been beaten up.
As soon as 'Gwen' returned, she rushed over to Viktor the moment she saw him.
Her steps were steady, and her gaze was focused and direct on him.
Even standing right in front of Viktor, she kept moving closer, trying to get a closer look at him.
Then, after her gaze lingered for a moment in the other person's obsidian-like pupils, she lowered her head slightly.
Under Viktor's slightly surprised gaze, 'Gwen's' nose gently brushed against Viktor's neck.
Her nose lightly touched his shirt, and she gently sniffed his chest.
She seemed to be trying to confirm whether Victor carried any signs of betrayal.
Viktor was somewhat puzzled by Gwen's actions.
Is this... something that the goddess of justice could do?
Why is she starting to act more and more like a human?
For a moment, he thought Gwen had regained control of her body.
After all, Gwen could actually do something like sticking to him.
At that moment, Victor watched as 'Gwen' pressed herself against his body, sniffing everywhere.
Turning his head back to look at Vega, who was perched on his shoulder, preening his feathers, he calmly said:
"So, where exactly did you go?"
Wasn't the plan to have Vega keep an eye on the Goddess of Justice and keep her in the Elf Forest to maintain stability as much as possible?
How come you two look so badly injured in just a short while, covered in dirt and in such a sorry state?
Although there was no injury, just looking at it was enough to give one a headache.
Sensing Viktor's gaze, Vega preened her feathers while giving Viktor an unpleasant glance with her single eye.
He remained silent, seemingly in a huff.
Are you kidding me?
In its search for Victor, it almost ventured into the realm of nature.
It's annoying enough that those lawmakers are trying to stop it; none of them pose any threat whatsoever.
How come even the calamities inexplicably resurrected in the end?
In short, since the battle with this 'Goddess of Justice' and the calamity of the earth,
Vega finally realized the huge difference between Viktor and the others.
Despite being roughly on the same level as the Goddess of Justice, the Earth Calamity's raw power might even be inferior.
But this powerful goddess seemed utterly helpless in the face of that enormous rock.
The sword in the Goddess of Justice swung like a blur of light, almost chipping its blade.
It was only with great difficulty that the massive earth calamity's defenses were broken.
However, when it is in a sandstorm environment, its hard rocky skin quickly recovers, as if it had not been damaged at all.
And its enormous size, like a mountain, makes it surprisingly agile, without any clumsiness.
The rocks swung above their heads with a whooshing sound, the impact of which was incredible.
A giant rock fell, its force enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.
The most shocking thing is that this thing can actually fly!
The Goddess of Justice is undoubtedly powerful, but compared to the life force of the Earth Calamity, her health is not even in the same league.
The Earth Calamity displayed its terrifyingly tenacious vitality; even if Viktor were present and unleashed ten consecutive super-tier spells, he might not be able to severely damage it.
The problem isn't that the Goddess of Justice can't damage it.
Instead, in order to move it, she had to exchange injuries for injuries.
The goddess fought against the calamity amidst the crumbling cliffs, only able to penetrate its armor and strike its vitals by enduring its attacks of shattered rocks.
If the goddess of justice chooses to avoid the attack of calamity, she must retreat several miles away.
During this retreat and counterattack, the enemy's rock armor was restored, and a new attack followed.
It can only be said that the Earth Calamity truly lives up to its reputation as the most intelligent calamity.
