As the time for the opening of the divine position draws ever closer, the atmosphere within the sacred mountain becomes increasingly tense. Dozens of false gods gather at the summit of the sacred mountain; almost all the false gods with divine status on the entire continent of Coral are here.
Once the battle for the divine throne begins, it will unleash terrifying magical power. If the battle is not held on the sacred mountain, the continent of Coral will suffer a devastating blow.
It is comparable to the Scourge of the Dead.
When Maggie and Arunta entered the sacred mountain, the summit was already bursting with seven-colored light, signifying that a divine position was about to be born.
The entrance to the sacred mountain behind them was also sealed off, and no one could enter.
"Thank goodness, we made it in time."
Maggie glanced back, patted her chest in relief, and said that although Arunta didn't seem very interested in the divine position, he didn't refuse her request to speed up their journey.
The two hurried as fast as they could, and finally managed to enter the sacred mountain at the last minute.
Should we climb up?
Arunta looked up at the mountaintop and posed a profound question.
They have only reached the foot of the mountain, and there is still some distance to the peak. It is indeed possible to stop here, but when it comes to competing for the divine position, they will not have an advantage.
Maggie glanced at Arunta sideways, her tone calm.
"No, you're the one who wants to go up."
Her going up there was pointless. Although she didn't know why she hadn't woken up from her dream even though she had delivered Arunta, she would soon disappear if nothing unexpected happened.
Climbing mountains was a troublesome task, and for a physically weak magician like her, it was still a bit difficult.
Maggie decided to let him go up alone.
"..."
Arunta heard her words but didn't move; instead, she stared intently at her.
"Would you take the opportunity to run away?"
He asked that question.
"?"
An unexpected question stumped Maggie. It wasn't exactly running away, but it was certain that after the battle for the divine throne ended, Arunta would never be able to see her again.
"Hmm... I don't know either."
Maggie is a meticulous person. She has known Arunta for a long time and knows that he is a very serious person with an inexplicable naiveté, so she didn't really want to lie to him and told him the truth.
She truly didn't know how long this dream would last.
Arunta lowered her eyes, as if she wasn't happy with the answer, and after a long while, she pursed her lips and said.
"Can you come with me on this journey?"
Perhaps it was because he had lived alone for too long, and apart from the woman who died unexpectedly on his territory, the only human he had ever spoken to was Maggie. When he received the signal that Maggie was about to leave, he actually felt a sense of reluctance.
Arunta's approach to emotions is very simple; she expresses her needs directly whenever she has them.
Regardless of what the future holds, at least for now, he remains untainted by the outside world, as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
Maggie sensed the indescribable disappointment emanating from Arunta, and her mouth seemed glued shut, unable to utter a word of refusal.
After a moment's thought, I realized that there was no harm in going anyway; it was just a dream.
So he agreed to Arunta's request.
"Can."
When Arunta heard Maggie's words, his ears twitched almost imperceptibly, and the sadness that surrounded him vanished in an instant. Although his face was expressionless, Maggie could sense it.
He seems happier now.
The two people who should have parted ways continued to travel together. For some reason, Maggie kept having images of Arunta being happy because of her in her mind, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"She's quite easy to coax..."
Throughout the journey, Arunta was remarkably obedient.
Unlike Oris, who was disillusioned with the world and had no choice but to cooperate with her, Arunta was simply very obedient.
There is no other reason.
Maggie was thinking about the reason why Arunta was different from the Earth God in the comics, and she climbed to the top of the sacred mountain with him.
The moment the two stepped onto the mountaintop, the seven divine thrones slowly revealed themselves to everyone.
As immense and powerful magic emanated from the throne and spread in all directions, the light of each element almost blinded Maggie.
Her pupils reflected seven exquisite and majestic divine thrones, exuding supreme power.
For some reason, the sounds around her gradually faded away, and all that remained in her eyes were the seven divine positions.
My heart was racing uncontrollably, and my adrenaline was surging.
This is the divine position, the pinnacle of power that allows her to ascend to the top of the magical world, the highest level of power that grants her dignity and eliminates the need for a life of mere survival.
This was the first time she had felt such a strong desire so clearly—not to live, but to become a god, an invincible deity.
Even though she is currently just a projection without divinity and not belonging to this timeline, the desire for power still occupies Maggie's heart.
She thought.
Perhaps it was right for her to come up and see for herself.
Divinity—as long as one possesses divinity, she has the qualification to sit on a divine throne and become a god.
She absolutely must...
must....
Maggie's conviction was unwavering.
Her eyes were fixed solely on the divine throne, and her usual keen perception had almost vanished.
She was completely unaware that several intense gazes were subtly fixed upon her.
Upon seeing the figure, Harlanser's eyes lit up with surprise, but he quickly seemed to remember something, and a faint blush rose to his face.
"She's here too!"
The savior who saved the entire elven race also arrived.
He thought.
After the battle for the divine throne is over, he must take Maggie back to the Green Forest to thank her properly and let her know that the elves are also a very warm and welcoming race.
Also...
Apologize to her properly.
As for Arunta, who was standing next to Maggie, Harlancel didn't even include him in his line of sight.
Or you could say that he was selectively ignored.
Oris, standing at the very edge, had already transformed into a half-human, half-dragon form. No matter how much he tried to slack off, he couldn't just lie there and let others attack him. It was only natural that a struggle was about to break out and he would enter a battle state.
However, when he saw Maggie, he paused for a moment before speaking in a low voice.
"A strange human girl, who suddenly disappeared and then suddenly reappeared."
He said it was strange, but the smile on his lips was indescribably gentle.
The reason he stayed here was to wait a little longer and see if he could see Maggie.
Oris was overjoyed to see someone he thought he would never see again.
But he's not the type to express himself well.
The image of the girl protecting him still lingered in his mind, her violent yet puffed-up expression possessing an indescribable cuteness.
If it weren't for the fact that the relationship between humans and dragons is inherently not very good, dragons would actually like humans quite a bit, just like whales like humans and humans like kittens.
