The silvery light finally dissipated slowly from the land, and the fleeting magic vanished with the wind.
A ray of dawn pierced through the torn clouds, shining on 'Gwen' and also falling on the two people lying on the ground.
As the magic dissipated, Aurelion and Erica could feel that the heavy mountains that had been pressing down on them were no longer there.
The once sharp wind blades had vanished without a trace, leaving only a gentle breeze caressing their weary faces.
Erica and Aurelian lay prone on the ground, coughed twice, and their vision gradually cleared.
Their pupils gradually focused, and their limbs slowly regained sensation.
What exactly happened...?
The two weak individuals struggled to lift their heads and look ahead.
At this moment, 'Gwen', dressed in silver armor and radiating a warm holy light, stood before them.
Like a high wall embodying hope, it stood before the two wounded men.
This warm and reassuring feeling quietly flowed into Erica and Aurelion's hearts, and their initial shock and fear gradually dissipated.
The two stared blankly at 'Gwen's' retreating figure, speechless.
Aurelion, in particular, stared wide-eyed, her pupils trembling, her mouth agape weakly.
It felt as if some kind of magic was stuck in her throat, preventing her from saying a single word.
this……
Did Ms. Gwen protect her?
She didn't understand.
Just now, she even used magic to attack Ms. Gwen.
Similarly, Erica didn't understand it either.
It started with Miss Gwen attacking Professor Victor.
Then Aurelion suddenly appeared and attacked Miss Gwen.
She couldn't stand it anymore and jumped out to try and pull Aurelion away.
The professor then became angry and attacked the two of them.
In the end, it turned out that Miss Gwen attacked Professor Victor?
Erica: "?"
What kind of bizarre cycle is this?
Of course, since all of this has happened, there must be a reason.
Erica always believed that Professor Victor's use of magic was not solely due to emotional anger, but rather a well-thought-out plan.
Their injuries may just be part of this plan.
That's right! The professor must have his reasons for doing this!
Erica was convinced of this.
Just as she and Aurelion were at a loss, Victor calmly responded to 'Gwen' again, saying:
"As you can see, Astraea."
Astraea?
Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, Aurelion and Erica were both taken aback and simultaneously fixed their gazes on Gwen.
So, she,
Not Gwen?
This groundbreaking discovery left both of them momentarily speechless, their minds racing with intense thought.
So... who exactly is the name Astraea referring to?
In fact, to this day, most people do not know the true names of the gods.
They are usually referred to by the authority they hold.
Perhaps only Victor knows the exact name of each god.
Of course, the most shocking thing was Viktor's next statement:
“I’ve been using you all along.”
That's right, Victor has laid his cards on the table.
Although manipulating this goddess of justice in the name of justice is very effective, and even makes Victor feel very good.
But as the goddess of justice grew stronger in humanity and gained autonomy, she became increasingly difficult to fool.
Victor realized that it was time for him to let go.
Although he has made all the plans, all of them may fall apart if any unstable factors arise.
In short, plans can't keep up with changes.
Uncertainty is the most prominent characteristic of Astraea, the goddess of justice.
She is a vibrant and alive being, not merely a tool or robot that executes commands.
Just as the goddess of justice might suddenly take action to seize the golden apple, her increasingly complex emotions have made her difficult to control.
Therefore, rather than constantly brainwashing her in the name of justice, turning her into a tool to help him eliminate other gods,
It would be better to make it clear to her from the beginning—
The gods have always been her enemies.
Gwen grew increasingly silent, her serious gaze lingering on him.
Victor knew that the goddess of justice was scrutinizing him with a righteous heart.
And she would undoubtedly take that statement as the truth.
Of course, Viktor will tell more truths in the future.
"Thank you for your power, which helped me tear open the crack in the sky."
"Help me, and I will bring back the gods."
Upon hearing Victor's words, Aurelion and Erica looked up almost simultaneously, their gazes rising to the sky.
Sure enough, a very menacing and eerie crack had appeared in the thick black clouds that had been shrouding Shulburn.
The pale holy light continued to spread through the cracks, while the light from the outside was dazzling and blinding.
However, 'Gwen' made no move, her gaze remaining fixed on Viktor, never wavering.
Viktor, completely unconcerned by Gwen's gaze and stares, looked up at the sky.
He decided to grant the goddess of justice her freedom because he had already fully exploited her ultimate value.
That's right, what he wanted was a strike powerful enough to split the sky, a strike that even super-level magic couldn't withstand.
Therefore, these words are undoubtedly true for 'Gwen' as well.
He needs 'Gwen' to personally strike and shatter the super-tier magic he unleashed with absolute power.
