"But her divinity was so righteous that she could not tolerate what Zeus and his people had done, so she led mankind to begin the rebellion."
"It's that simple."
At this point, Loki's tone suddenly became somewhat melancholy.
He took a deep breath, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
"As for cooperation? I never believed it was a willing cooperation."
After the gods were successfully banished, only the goddess of justice, Astraea, remained in this world.
This is also why she became the goddess with the most followers.
In this vast world, she became the only goddess.
Furthermore, humanity has not yet completely broken free from the era of belief in gods.
Therefore, many people abandoned their original beliefs and turned to follow the goddess of justice with great enthusiasm.
This led to the world's faith focusing almost entirely on Astraea.
And this goddess firmly believed that she could become the savior of this world.
She has the ability to lead these people into a new and glorious era.
What followed is well-known.
Under the extreme influence of the goddess of justice, people became overly cautious and timid.
They were afraid that any action they took might not be 'just' enough and could trigger severe punishment from the goddess of justice.
Soon after, voices supporting the expulsion of the goddess of justice grew louder around the world.
In the end, the Grand Mage personally intervened and completely drove away the Goddess of Justice.
But in reality, as the only deity in the world at that time who still had believers, the Goddess of Justice had reached the pinnacle of her power.
How could a great mage of that era possibly defeat her?
"She knew that her justice was not accepted by humanity, and she heard the cries of human suffering."
"She understood that at this moment, only her departure could restore humanity's former happiness."
"Driven away by humans, the goddess of justice chose to 'commit suicide'."
However, gods who are believed in and remembered will not truly die.
Regardless of whether the goddess of justice's justice is extreme or not, she does indeed have a large number of followers who believe in her extreme justice.
Even if she commits suicide countless times, her divine power will continue to reshape her body.
But by then, the goddess had nowhere to go.
Even if she remained in the human world, she would continue to harm those humans because of her sense of justice.
Ultimately, the Archmage reached an agreement with the Goddess of Justice.
"Leave your divine power in this false scale."
"Perhaps you will even have the chance to witness what this world will look like without you."
The goddess of justice did as she was told.
She poured all her divine power, including her own consciousness, into that illusory scales of justice.
In this way, the goddess of justice successfully 'committed suicide'.
She left behind two items in this world.
Two different Libras.
The true scales are a 'divine token' belonging to the goddess of justice.
The false scales, however, contain the divine power and consciousness of the goddess of justice.
"You should have known long ago that both of these scales are now with me."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked this question."
Therefore, it was not that the Goddess of Justice willingly cooperated with the Archmage.
However, the archmage possessed both items.
They resurrected Gwen using the real Libra, and then used the fake Libra to give Gwen the power and consciousness of the Goddess of Justice.
After hearing all this, Victor asked another question that he was particularly curious about.
"But if your plan fails, will the Goddess of Justice not appear?"
"right."
Loki's cheerful voice emanated from the watermelon slices, as if he had sealed the fate of the Goddess of Justice with just a few words.
"The only purpose of the goddess of justice is to test your 'name'."
"Now that the meaning of your name has been determined, there is naturally no need for her to be resurrected."
Having learned all this, Victor had no more doubts.
Even though he knew perfectly well that the goddess had once harbored special feelings for him.
But I'm sorry.
Justice will always be Justice, and can never replace Gwen.
"One last question."
Viktor took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and then asked the Archmage:
Where is Habika now?
Upon hearing this, the watermelon strips in front of him seemed to be startled, and his body suddenly trembled.
Loki narrowed his eyes, a hint of surprise in his voice.
"Who, Habika?"
"That evil god, Habaka, who suddenly appeared a thousand years ago and killed half the world's life?"
Just as Viktor had predicted.
The archmage, after all, lived a thousand years ago; he even knew Zeus and the goddess of justice.
How could he not know about Habika's deeds?
But then, the archmage said...
Viktor's pupils constricted sharply.
"Wasn't it erased a long time ago?"
