Even knowing the terrible consequences of the Scourge, seeing the devastated royal city, the dilapidated and lifeless countryside, and every human passing by like a walking corpse still made Maggie tremble involuntarily.
This scene is still after the natural disaster has ended, with only a few remnants of the dead still struggling.
Maggie recalled the battlefield of living and dead she had witnessed, the mangled corpses of elves, and her heart inevitably grew heavy.
Both Roy and the present era deeply moved her.
Human courage is the hymn to civilization.
Humans are so weak and vulnerable now, yet over the long years, they have become the most powerful race on the continent of Coral.
Even though humans are not top-notch in any aspect, such as talent or physical ability, they still stand at the pinnacle of their race.
"The war of the gods is about to begin. If no new god is willing to protect humanity, the situation of humanity will only be worse than it is now."
Since embarking on her journey, the god of light, Nophiel, had barely spoken to her, so hearing his voice out of the blue surprised Maggie.
Maggie turned her head and saw Nofel, whose expression remained unchanged but whose gaze was fixed on her.
Are you trying to say that you are important?
Perhaps because of her past interactions with Harun, Maggie couldn't help but retort to him, even though she knew that this guy would eventually become the God of Light.
Since she's immortal now, she won't be affected in any way, so it doesn't matter if she angers Nophiel.
"No, this is just an objective fact. Taber has placed all the possibilities on me, but if the human race were not weak, there should be human races vying for all seven god positions."
Nofel spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about what to eat today.
But whether it was Maggie or anyone else, they all knew that what Nofel was talking about was the predicament facing humanity.
"Too many geniuses have died in the Scourge; there are no more suitable humans left..."
Since it was a serious topic, Maggie stopped being sarcastic and started discussing it earnestly with Nofel.
"So, can you help me?"
Nophiel nodded, then asked her with an unusually serious tone.
"?"
Maggie was taken aback by the question and didn't know how to answer for a moment, because she was just a projection and couldn't actually do anything or fight. Helping Nophiel in the war of gods was just wishful thinking.
Could it be that Nophiel mistook her for some reclusive, unparalleled master because she knew about the Lich's Box?
But in reality, she can't even beat a ghost right now.
A strange look appeared in Maggie's eyes.
Nofel seemed to understand what Maggie was thinking and added another sentence.
"Not for me, but for humanity."
After saying that, he actually revealed his divine nature on the spot, shining brightly in front of Maggie and radiating a gentle aura. This was the purest power from the light element.
"!"
His actions startled Maggie, because divinity is very important to every god. In fact, divine position and divinity are not bound together, but one must have divinity to ascend to a divine position.
Those who possess divine qualities but have not ascended to a divine position can only be called false gods, like Rielta, who sleeps in the tomb of false gods.
Quite coincidentally, during the God War, all the false gods who possessed divine status perished. Even those false gods who did not participate in the God War disappeared or died for various reasons, so that only those who held divine positions possessed divine status.
A godhood is something that can only be formed with an extremely strong will, and is relatively fragile in comparison. If it is broken, a false god will soon be completely destroyed.
Therefore, Norfield's current behavior is extremely dangerous.
"What are you doing?"
Maggie frowned slightly. Although she had known for some time that the God of Light was not quite normal, this was just too abnormal.
"I want to prove to you that I have no ulterior motives."
Nofel's frankness frightened Maggie. He made Maggie reach out and touch his divine essence. Due to various reasons, or perhaps because of her curiosity about the divine essence, Maggie eventually touched it gently.
Then she felt an overwhelming sense of conviction, even a crazy and obsessive one.
'Humanity must not be wiped out!'
'I will make the human race the strongest race!'
'I must become the sole god of humanity; I will never allow humanity to live under the thumb of others.'
'Humans are the most superior race, unmatched by any other. We will ensure that humanity stands at the pinnacle.'
Maggie was momentarily stunned by Nofel's idea, but she withdrew her hand after a few seconds and stared at Nofel in shock.
"you....."
She was shocked.
Just two seconds ago, she thought the God of Light was a cunning and scheming person, but she never expected that his obsession with becoming a god would be so selfless, without the slightest selfishness.
It seems he carried the entire burden of humanity's survival on his shoulders.
Nofel understood Maggie's gaze. He silently withdrew his divine power before slowly speaking.
Is it okay now?
He was proving to Maggie that he was not selfish at all and that everything he did was for the sake of humanity.
Using this divine spark to ascend to godhood means that he must dedicate his entire life to the future of humanity and absolutely cannot change it, otherwise he will be devoured by his obsession.
"...Okay...that's enough."
Maggie swallowed hard, feeling inexplicably afraid of Nofel's gaze.
In fact, in many ways, a god who can condense divine essence seems to be no different from a fanatical madman.
The obsessions of the other gods...
Maggie regained control of her wandering thoughts and began to consider Nofel's reasons for doing so.
Is he now taking a desperate gamble by seeking help from this unknown being because he feels his chances of seizing the divine throne are uncertain?
After all, she did behave very differently. In Nofel's eyes, perhaps she had the ability to turn the tide of the battle?
Moreover, she does actually know something; the comics have covered some aspects of the War of the Gods, with relatively detailed descriptions of the human race.
"I can help you."
Maggie calmed down. After all, helping Nofel was helping the human race, and she had no reason not to help.
Besides, if she could make it easy for Nophiel win, wouldn't the Sage of Tabor have survived the war of the gods, and would Roy have been safe and sound?
Thank you.
Nofel visibly relaxed.
"Those who will compete with you for the divine throne include..."
Since she had made the decision, Maggie simply told Nophiel everything she knew, leaving the rest to Nophiel to figure out on his own.
In this timeline, she has no fighting ability whatsoever.
