Gray city suburbs.

After encountering the Goddess of Annihilation again, Rosen discovered some changes in details.

Last time, he could only vaguely sense the spying of the Goddess of Annihilation, but it was difficult to determine her exact location.

At that time, he was obviously suppressed by it.

But this time, he not only clearly felt the arrival of the Goddess of Annihilation, but also clearly felt her location. He even felt vaguely that the Goddess of Annihilation was not aware of his specific location.

In other words, this time, his insight surpassed that of the other party.

He immediately understood: "It is the advantage that the divine fire brings me."

The strength of his divine fire is naturally far inferior to that of the Goddess of Annihilation, but the Goddess of Annihilation's body is in a distant alien world, while he is right here.

As one side gained strength while the other side lost strength, Rosen in turn suppressed the mortal incarnation of the Goddess of Annihilation.

'Since the power has changed, it is time to make some adjustments to the strategy against the Goddess of Annihilation.'

After careful consideration, Rosen came to a conclusion.

"Her original body cannot come over, and the power supply to the incarnation is also slow. She is nothing more than a large-sized apostle of the true God."

"Maybe there are some strange methods, but I am now at the advantage of perception, which also gives me the advantage of taking the initiative, so there is nothing to be afraid of from this Goddess of Annihilation."

Because once he gets the upper hand, unless the opponent's strength completely crushes him, he will most likely win in the end.

"Of course, the Goddess of Annihilation is, after all, a Five-Ring Supreme with unpredictable means. Unless it is necessary, there is no need for me to rush into a quarrel with her."

So, Rosen was on full alert, pretending to have discovered the Goddess of Annihilation, but without being able to locate her.

After waiting for half a minute, the Goddess of Annihilation finally located Rosen's position and quickly approached him.

Three minutes later, she arrived next to Rosen, who looked at her warily.

"Great One, it's an honor to meet you."

Filiquis nodded lightly, walked to Rosen's side and stood, looking at Natalie who was leaning against a big tree not far away and panting.

"The eldest daughter of the Eye of Dawn, who is less than 35 years old, has already reached the 15th ring of soul. She is a mortal with great potential and is qualified to become my core apostle."

Rosen looked reluctant and said, "Great One, I was the first one to spot him, and I was the one who put a lot of thought into recruiting him to rebel."

Filiqis nodded: "I know, but when it comes to faith, mortals have the freedom to choose. God can guide, but cannot force."

Rosen understood the subconscious meaning of the other party's words:

"The Great One means that we each introduce our own ideas to her and then let her choose freely?"

"That's right."

Rosen knew that what the other party said was correct, because the gathering of source essence came from the recognition of ideas.

The forced believers can only be treated as slaves but cannot become core apostles, so unless they break up with Philiqis now, they can only accept her advice.

So are we going to fall out?

Of course not.

His divine fire has not been improved yet, his core divine art has not been created, and the accumulated source material is not enough. In short, time is on his side, and there is no need to tear his face with her because of the gain and loss of a soldier.

So he nodded gently: "Okay, let Miss Natalie choose for herself."

The Goddess of Annihilation gently waved her hand, mobilized her divine power, and activated an ordinary divine spell.

In an instant, all the guards battle mages who were tracking Natalie froze in place, like sculptures.

But if you look closely, you will find that these battle mages are simply trapped by extremely high-intensity time and space stasis.

"Let's go."

The Goddess of Annihilation walked towards Natalie first, followed closely by Rosen.

Soon, the two appeared in front of Natalie, standing on her left and right sides respectively.

"Who are you?"

There was a hint of despair on Natalie's plaster-covered face.

The Goddess of Annihilation spoke first: "I am the Goddess of Annihilation, Filiqis, the savior of the end of the world and the guardian of the fate of mortals."

Rosen then spoke: "I am Rosen, the sun god of war. I am the sun that bestows glory on the mortal world, the warrior who reforms the world, and the guide of chaotic destiny."

Natalie didn't expect to get such an answer. She showed a hint of confusion in her eyes at first, but then she understood.

"You are the mysterious and powerful people behind the Doomsday Cult and the Longshan Brotherhood!"

"That's right." The Goddess of Annihilation and Rosen answered at the same time.

Natalie sneered immediately: "Stop playing tricks. Tell me, which big shot in Moon City do you serve?"

The Goddess of Annihilation thought about it, and her terrifying black hole eyes appeared. Around her black eyes flowed a fascinating light like a huge accretion disk.

An indifferent voice followed, like the voice of fate's judgment.

"I am a true god from the divine world. I do not serve any mortals. In my eyes, there is no distinction between high and low mortals."

Natalie couldn't stand this, and her mind was suddenly shocked: "True God, there is such a great will in the world."

She was originally resting against a big tree, but she could not bear it anymore and her body slid down uncontrollably, and she subconsciously knelt down to worship.

But just as she slipped a little, a strong arm reached out from the side and supported her body, and at the same time a voice was heard in her ears.

"True gods and mortals are all life, and their essences are no different."

“The true God is the forerunner in front, and mortals are the followers behind.”

"God is ahead, lighting the way forward, and mortals follow the light."

“Although mortals are small, they are the seeds of the true God. Although the true God is great, he also needs the support of mortals.”

The voice was gentle, flowing into Natalie's heart like a gurgling stream, giving her the courage to face the Goddess of Annihilation. The strong arms supporting her body also made her feel a sense of security.

The young lady betrayed the Eye of Dawn and fled alone in the wilderness for four or five hours, her mind full of confusion and fear.

At this moment, she felt a deep warmth from this arm, as if she was close to the warm sun in winter.

She regained her balance and subconsciously moved closer to Rosen's body.

The Goddess of Annihilation frowned slightly and whispered to Rosen, "Gods should not touch mortals with their bodies."

Rosen replied quietly: "You shouldn't use your might to oppress the souls of mortals."

Rosen met his gaze without retreating at all.

3 seconds later, the terrifying black hole in the eyes of the Goddess of Annihilation slowly faded away.

"Very well, we will convince her with pure words."

"As you wish."

Rosen also let go of Natalie, took a step back, and continued to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Goddess of Annihilation.

On the other side, Natalie looked back and forth at the two mysterious figures in front of her, and her confusion grew stronger.

But she has confirmed one thing, that is, the two people in front of her are most likely not related to Moon City, and are most likely terrifying beings more powerful than mortals, because these two people possess a pure temperament that mortals do not possess.

The reason why she felt confused was that she didn't understand the purpose of these two people's visit.

After looking at it for a long time, she said, "I don't understand why great people like you would come to me?"

The Goddess of Annihilation spoke up: "We all want to change the current situation in Gray City, but we each have our own way of doing it. So I founded the Cult of Doom, and this Mr. Rosen chose the Dragon Mountain Brotherhood."

Rosen continued, "We hope you will join us, but it is up to you to choose which side you join."

Natalie understood a little bit, and after a moment's silence, she looked at the Goddess of Annihilation and said, "Lady Filiqis, I want to ask, how do you plan to change the current situation in Gray City?"

“Let everyone in Gray City accept my new order and build a new city under the new order.”

Natalie frowned slightly: "You want to rule Gray City?"

"No, I will not participate in the direct rule of Gray City. No matter who it is, as long as they follow my order, they can become the lord of Gray City."

Natalie understood: "You want to raise an obedient dog in Gray City, just like in Moon City?"

The Goddess of Annihilation said indifferently: "Although your statement is rude, you are right."

Natalie took a deep breath and continued to ask: "What's the difference between that and the current Gray City?"

"Of course there is a difference."

The Goddess of Annihilation began to explain.

“The real evil in the world lies not in the way of ruling, but in the details of ruling, in the specific laws.”

“I will prohibit killing, cannibalism, and the strong from bullying the weak. I will guide people’s wisdom to production and construction rather than consumption and destruction, so as to create a stable and orderly city.”

These words greatly reduced Natalie's resistance.

She turned to look at Rosen again: "So, great Sun God of War Rosen, how do you plan to change?"

Because of what happened just now, she felt an inexplicable fondness for Rosen.

Rosen only said one sentence: "I plan to restore the glory of the Eternal Empire."

Natalie's heart was pounding: "Can this be done?"

"History has proven that this is possible, and all we have to do is repeat history."

This simple sentence once again strongly convinced Natalie.

She felt her heart pounding and her blood rushing through her heart. She said without hesitation:

"I choose to follow you, the great Sun God of War Rosen."

Rosen smiled and responded: "Ms. Natalie, I am honored to have you following me."

After saying this, Rosen glanced at the Goddess of Annihilation beside him.

"Great Filiqis, since Miss Natalie has chosen her future path, it is time for us to leave."

The face of the Goddess of Annihilation remained indifferent, but a hint of displeasure could be seen in the depths of her black eyes.

But she finally kept her original promise.

Looking at Natalie, he said in a cold and indifferent tone: "Mortal, since you choose to stand against me, from now on, we are enemies."

As she spoke, she suddenly released the control of the guards, stepped back, and disappeared into the air.

Natalie still clearly remembered the other party's terrifying spiritual pressure. Her heart trembled violently and she subconsciously turned to look at Rosen beside her.

Rosen smiled gently: "Ms. Natalie, the process of rebuilding your glory will surely be full of difficulties and obstacles."

“But only by going through the rugged mountain roads can you climb to the top of the mountain and see the scenery there.”

As he spoke, Rosen raised his hand and gently patted her body, and put on her the Ring of Light that protected her soul and the Ring of the Queen that bestowed great power.

"Keep going, Miss Natalie. I will always protect you."

After saying this, he stepped back and disappeared into the air.

Most of the time, the soul connection between God and believers is not achieved overnight, but becomes stronger gradually after constant adjustment.

So, there is a long way to go.

On the other side, Natalie felt the new great power and recalled the brief and wonderful experience before. She felt like she was living in a dream.

Gently stroking the powerful magic weapon on her wrist, she couldn't help but secretly call out in her heart: "Great Sun God of War, are you still there?"

Immediately afterwards, she clearly felt a magnificent, warm and great will slowly approaching her soul.

"Unless you give up on me, I will always be with you."

Natalie felt completely relieved, and a very strange emotion that she had never experienced before surged in her heart.

Driven by this emotion, she couldn't help but swear loudly: "No, I will never give up on you, never!"

What responded to her was a gentle smile, like the warm sun in winter.

This completely strengthened Natalie's resolve.

On the other side, Rosen clearly felt a large amount of source energy rushing towards him, mixed with a sense of youthful love.

He laughed in his heart: "Tsk~ If I have time, I will go pick this little white flower."

As for now, he had to feel like creating the most powerful divine art possible.

Because he vaguely felt that the Goddess of Annihilation had become suspicious of him.
