Upon opening her eyes and finding herself in the desert, Maggie remained calm and composed, sitting up and beginning to observe her surroundings.
Accustomed to the random teleportation of dreams to the side of some god, Maggie now appears in the dream completely at ease, even having the leisure to look at the cacti growing in the desert.
It is one of the few green ones.
Maggie discovered that she had a special connection with the desert; the last time she encountered the Dark God, it was also in an oasis in the desert.
But if nothing unexpected happens, this time we should be encountering... the last god, the god of the earth.
Maggie pondered this in her mind, her steps unwavering. Although her condition would not change, she was very likely to lose her way in the desert and not be able to find the location of the Earth God for a long time.
Moreover, the Earth God's situation is quite special; there is a part of the comic related to the Earth God.
One of them is that he does not belong to any race, but was born purely in response to the earth.
In other words, he is roughly equivalent to Sun Wukong, who sprang from a crack in a rock.
"..."
As soon as the thought came to mind, Maggie laughed at herself. Although it was indeed true, she found it amusing just to think about it.
In the current struggle for the divine throne, there is more than one race vying with Arunta for the Earth Godhood, including but not limited to goblins, gnomes, and other races that are also very close to the earth.
Among this type of race, there are quite a few with earth elemental talents, and there are also quite a few geniuses.
In contrast, the god of the earth seems quite unique, as if he has no one to rely on.
It is said that he could not even fix his original form, and was even inferior to the elemental spirits. Fortunately, humans had walked in the place where he was born, so he imitated the appearance of humans and created a body for himself.
What's interesting is that after he ascended to godhood, all the races that had originally competed with him for that position chose to worship him.
Arunta has a natural ability to make others like him, and even his adversaries will gradually fall under his charm.
So although he appears to be a loner, much like Gracius, he actually has quite a few followers.
Arunta was also more reliable than the dark god Gretius, and often answered the prayers of his followers.
According to Maggie's understanding of the comics, Greysius attained his godhood entirely on his own merits.
But Arunta was different; he already had a terrain advantage on Mount Kinabalu.
During the war of the gods, virtually no false god could defeat him on the sacred mountain.
With his natural environmental advantages, he can draw upon all the power related to the earth, and his affinity is so high that it is unreasonable. All the false gods who compete with him for the position of earth god are helpless against him.
Maggie once thought that the Earth God was a guaranteed admission student.
He may seem to be all alone, but in reality, he was chosen by the continent of Coral and can ascend to godhood without any effort.
Thinking about the other gods... Maggie actually felt a little sad.
When you compare them like this, it's true what they say: comparisons are odious, and goods are worthless.
"But, is there anything I can help with for these students who are admitted through the special admission program?"
Maggie walked through the desert, her head full of questions.
She genuinely didn't know what reason Arunta, a god without racial restrictions, with extremely superior conditions and considerable combat power, had for her to come here.
Maggie was walking ahead, completely unaware that the person she was looking for had actually been following behind her the whole time.
You can still hear her muttering to herself from time to time.
"Where is this person...? Even if I'm not hungry or thirsty, I'm going to die of boredom..."
Maggie searched for a long time but couldn't find a single animal in the desert. Finally, she became so frustrated that she broke down and started complaining.
"If you don't come out soon, I'm leaving. Don't blame me if you miss out on your divine position."
She muttered to herself, and the pair of heterochromatic eyes, one gold and one silver, that had been silently watching her from behind finally showed a slight ripple.
The sun had just set, and the sky was gradually darkening in the evening when Arunta finally spoke.
Who are you looking for?
In the desert, where there was no one around and the silence was unsettling, not even a ghost could be seen, Maggie suddenly heard such a clear greeting very close to her ear, and she immediately got goosebumps.
It leaped several meters like a rabbit before stiffly turning around.
\"...\"
Turning around, she was met with Arunta's distinctive sun and moon eyes, and she was completely stunned.
She doesn't know whether to be thankful that she finally met Arunta, or glad that she didn't encounter a ghost or get scared to death.
Are you looking for me?
Seeing that Maggie remained silent for a long time, Arunta's androgynous voice carried a hint of inquiry, like the eyes of the moon, cold and devoid of warmth, but like the eyes of the sun, warm as if welcoming an old friend.
The stark contrast made it impossible for Maggie to look away from his eyes.
Even though Arunta's face was stunningly beautiful, with long, smooth, and glossy brown hair reaching down to his waist, his good looks became his least noteworthy advantage.
Unlike other gods, his face had a strong exotic look, resembling Apollo from ancient Greek mythology, with three-dimensional features.
Even though Arunta's appearance is the kind that Maggie dislikes the most, she can't help but marvel at his handsome looks.
Humans can always reach a consensus when faced with the most beautiful women.
"Yes... I'm looking for you."
Maggie finally looked away from Arunta's eyes and responded softly.
Arunta is still in female form, just like Mother Earth who can embrace everything, gentle yet possessing unparalleled power, making people feel at ease just by looking at her.
It's no wonder that those races would still choose to worship Arunta after he defeated their false god and ascended to the throne.
It's so easy for people to let their guard down and want to get close to her.
However, Maggie wasn't someone who would be swayed by first impressions; she simply felt that Arunta was radiating a strange aura.
Hmm... It's like a hypocrite who's two-faced, commonly known as a scheming monster. Maybe his kindness and friendliness are all an act.
It's not surprising that Maggie would think that way, since the Earth God's human form is an unpredictable and erratic individual whose behavior is entirely based on mood and has no discernible pattern.
Although the human form is not entirely the same as the divine form in terms of personality, they are more or less similar.
"Is there something you need?"
Arunta had no idea what Maggie was thinking. Upon hearing this, he revealed a smile that could be described as supremely gentle, even more captivating than any feigned smile on Maggie's face, leaving Maggie stunned.
"Forehead?"
This question truly stumped Maggie. She was the one who came to offer help in her time of need, but the person in question was asking her what was wrong.
Is this reasonable?
