193. My Daughter
“I absolutely cannot accept…”
She knelt on the ground, her fair legs stained with the mud from the rain. Light, as if insane, began to search for something. The remaining red flames on her body were the only source of light in the darkness.
“I hurt the goddess… absolutely not, absolutely not…”
Her voice trembled slightly.
“Forget everything, it must not have happened, absolutely not.”
“Restart, yes, restarting is fine…”
Light found a golden flower from a pile of debris and held it in her hand. Then, she curled up in a corner of the room.
As long as she could restart the world, the fact that she had hurt the Goddess of Light would have never happened.
As long as she could start over, none of this would have happened.
As a Saintess, to have hurt the goddess… absolutely not.
She must hate me. She’ll say I’m not worthy of being her daughter!
Light comforted herself. Saying that, a dazzling light erupted from her palm.
“Don’t be in such a hurry to leave.”
Just then, a voice interrupted her thoughts.
She looked up and found that it was Agnes.
The last time they had met was at the Goddess’s ruins.
Is she here to kill me? Because I hurt the Goddess… but I want to live.
I have to run away…
But I definitely can’t escape.
Lost in thought, until Agnes walked to her side and sat down beside her, she didn’t notice. When she did, she had already lost the motivation to escape. She held the golden flower. If the situation changed, she would immediately consume all her power, reverse time and space, and start everything over.
“Why are you here? How did you find this place?”
“If I were to ask this, I would have found it using the [Golden Star Chart].”
Agnes threw a dim scroll on the ground.
“It seems the Golden Star Chart is completely useless now.”
“Mother is looking for you. Why did you run away?”
“Because I’m not worthy… She must hate me. She must know I’m not a good child. She already said I was her daughter.”
“I understand you, that’s why I was able to find you. Come on, let’s go home.”
Agnes placed her hand on her knee.
But Light was angered by Agnes’s words.
“How could you understand me? You already have everything. You have everything. Now you’re her child, and I’m nothing… I just wanted to be with the Goddess. Why did I end up like this?” Light seemed to be holding something back.
“So, in the end, it was all for yourself?”
“You bastard!”
Light was completely enraged.
She pinned Agnes’s body down, her hands on either side of her head, and glared at her. All the bandages on her body fell to the ground, and her hair fell on Agnes’s face.
“Why would you say such things? Damn it, damn it… what are you saying?”
“I love the Goddess of Light so much. How dare you say I’m doing this for myself?”
“…”
“I’ve been with the Goddess for thousands of years. I’ve always been grateful for her taking me in…”
“Why do you say I’m doing this for myself? Saying that… doesn’t it make me seem despicable? I’m not that kind of person… I just want to be with the Goddess of Light. No one is more suitable to be her child than me!”
Light’s strength was immense, and she almost hurt Agnes.
The power gap between the two was so great that Light didn’t even need to act herself…
She simply couldn’t understand how this girl dared to face her alone.
“Then in these thousands of years, have you never told the goddess?”
“I…”
“You’ve wanted to be her child for a long time. You could have just said so earlier.”
“Just say… Goddess, I like you so much, can I be your child? That kind of thing…”
“Do you think she would agree?”
“Why wouldn’t she…” Agnes smiled.
“Because she’s a ruthless goddess. How could she let me become her child over such a small matter? Don’t be ridiculous! There were once several powerful believers who wanted to be the Goddess of Light’s guards, but even they failed.”
“That’s all your theory. Have you tried it yourself?”
“…”
“Calysia succeeded. She wanted Mother Reina, so she made her her own thing. But for a thousand years, you didn’t dare to try.”
“Sob, sob, sob…”
Light collapsed on top of Agnes and began to cry. She put away the flower that could rewind time, no longer intending to restart the world.
Agnes was helpless, patting her smooth back and comforting her.
“She’s cheating! Why can she do it… she’s just an ordinary dragon. Why can’t I… that hateful Goddess of Light, I hate her so much! Why… why am I being treated so differently? Why didn’t she come back to the Shadow of God…”
Light’s voice grew softer and softer, until her choked sobs were almost inaudible.
She stopped talking.
Agnes felt her clothes being soaked by tears and breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, she was also very nervous.
Before the battle, Mother Reina had explained this plan to her.
Just the two of them would “take down” Agnes.
Mother Reina would be responsible for the direct confrontation, and Agnes would be responsible for the finishing touches.
She had long expected that Light still had a trump card.
That trump card was likely the key to everything. Agnes’s mission was to prevent her from activating her “trump card.” Therefore, she had already made battle preparations. Now, under her mother’s influence, she already had a combat power of level 150. But unexpectedly, Light had no intention of fighting at all.
Remembering Mother Reina’s confident appearance, Agnes understood that Light was just a spoiled dummy. These comforting words were also thought up on the spot…
After five minutes, seeing that Light still hadn’t spoken, Agnes said with a smile:
“For yourself, just do it for yourself. What’s wrong with that? Giving love is for the sake of receiving love~ You’re not unaware, the goddess will definitely forgive you.”
“Sob, sob, sob…”
“When you’re with your mother, it’s not too late to explore the human heart. In short…”
“Sob, sob, sob…”
“Hey, don’t cry! We’re running out of time!”
Agnes broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing the leader of the Shadow of God, who was a disheveled mess, using her as a body pillow, she didn’t know what to do. She could only pick her up from the ground, hold her small hand, and walk outside. Until they left the long tunnel, she finally realized… this place was too far from Reina’s location, and it wasn’t suitable to leave now.
“Light, open a portal…”
“Where are we going?”
“To find the goddess!” Agnes felt that this villainous missy was.
“Oh…”
Light obediently cast a spell. A red, short-range square portal enveloped the two of them, and in an instant, they were teleported to another space.
Agnes suddenly became even more flustered… The current her still retained ninety percent of her power! If she was still an enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Light teleported the two of them to the ritual site, and at this moment, there was only a pale Reina, leaning against the steps, clutching her chest.
Light felt a pang of heartache, not knowing how to explain.
She looked at Reina cautiously, her whole body trembling, but she still walked forward, preparing to heal the wounds Reina had suffered because of her.
But when Reina smiled gently at her, the cowardice in her heart was dispelled by the light.
“You’re finally back~”
“Light, Agnes, my daughters.”
