200. That Memory
Calysia laughed.
But she instantly began to worry, worried that Reina would regain her memory because of this.
Those things absolutely must not be discovered.
But…
How could she hide it now?
Calysia had never been one to run away, but Aurora was right. She hated [reincarnation]. She didn’t want to endure decades of loneliness again.
…Eating sandwiches and cakes, thinking every day, every night.
She would even temporarily seal her own memories, but in that case, she would become empty and even more pained. Every time was a torment for her.
“Reina, we have a promise…”
Calysia’s eyes were teary.
“Don’t worry.”
Reina landed beside her and gently caressed her cheek.
—Level 189.
Light level 90, Dragon Mark level 99.
Authority: [Time and Space]
This was enough.
Reina looked at the figure of the first Elven King, Aurora, and saw through the other’s power at a glance.
Authority: [Soul Wind]
Ability, through the soul, to create a series of impossible things, such as modifying causality, modifying the logic of things, such as making everything never happen, never have any result. Half of a god’s strength came from their level, and the other half from the [authority] they controlled.
And when a god reached level 200, they needed to increase the level of their authority to continue to increase their strength.
What a domineering authority… After all, for thousands of years, people had worked hard for her authority to be enhanced.
Every use of forbidden magic would increase the level of her [Soul Wind].
It could be said that this enemy, who had always been overlooked, was the most troublesome enemy Reina had ever faced as a goddess. But it was only “troublesome.”
“God of Light, you pitiful thing…”
“The pitiful one is you, Aurora. You erased the memory of the entire world just to wait for today. Then, I regret to inform you that your plan has failed.”
Reina snapped her fingers.
Suddenly, some spatial matrix blocks appeared beside her. After they disappeared, a dark elf appeared.
—It was Mura.
“Goddess!”
She was already prepared and threw the thing in her hand to Reina.
A golden casket.
“[God’s Tree] seed,” Aurora murmured.
The next moment, Mura was teleported away by the spatial authority… Now, on this battlefield, besides Calysia, there would only be a burden.
“I’ve thought about it many times. This, which on the surface is an existence that the dark elves rely on for survival, why would it gradually wither because of [forbidden magic]…” Reina said with a smile.
“Why would elves fall into dark elves? Why would their God’s Tree wither? It has little to do with Tris.”
“That’s because the so-called [God’s Tree] is a [seal].”
All demons and monsters, all evil.
They all need evidence.
And what concealed the evidence was the tainted God’s Tree.
Where did the power of the ritual come from?
More than ninety-nine percent was not caused by Light.
The accumulated forbidden magic caused by the [Soul Wind] authority became the source of the pollution of the God’s Tree.
This was also the reason why Light couldn’t stop the ritual.
The essence of the ritual was [Soul Wind].
Aurora had been preparing for a long time, deceiving everyone, just for today.
To end all of this, she had to use a new [God’s Tree].
“You…”
Aurora squinted.
“It seems I’ve underestimated your computational ability.”
She no longer restrained her strength—because her power mostly came from [Soul Wind].
She instantly consumed half of the ritual’s energy and completed a black death ray, even more terrifying than the gravity magic Calysia had just released.
But Reina, with just a wave of her finger, blew the terrifying power into the sky.
Then
It ignited a firework-like explosion in the air.
“[Time and Space] is an authority that surpasses everything. You have no chance of winning. No… from the very beginning, it was impossible for anyone to defeat me.”
If it were to be said that she was ruthless, then Reina had no right to comment on others.
The limitation of level, the absorption of the Saintess’s power, the establishment of faith.
These were all ways to increase [authority].
The longer the faith lasted, the more people there were, and the more levels were increased.
And the “overflowing” power above level 100, which was set for the sake of order, was also completely taken by the Goddess of Light, becoming nourishment for her authority.
Aurora was one move short.
“So what? My [Soul Wind], as long as it exists, I will never fail.”
Aurora didn’t believe it at all. She used her authority again, intending to directly erase the [causality] of Reina’s arrival. As long as she realized the truth, Calysia would definitely not be able to stop her. But before that, Reina had already used [Time and Space] to reverse it, making her authority futile.
It was a feeling of powerlessness.
Any scheme, any thought was calculated. And for the rest, she could only be a bystander.
“Boom—!”
Reina threw out the seed of the God’s Tree, and it was instantly activated, growing wildly, and in a short time, it became a towering tree, reaching into the sky.
The power of the ritual was completely absorbed, and the blue light of the anti-ritual tower instantly entered an unguarded territory, occupying the entire sky.
Aurora looked at all of this, her expression blank, not knowing if it was calmness or despair.
“How about it, Aurora? Do you still think you’re invincible now?”
“…”
“Since forbidden magic represents Soul Wind, then we just need to completely abolish forbidden magic.”
As long as the soul contract and a series of seemingly necessary forbidden magics no longer exist, then there is no need to worry about Aurora’s resurrection, until forbidden magic completely disappears.
Reina clasped her hands together, and a golden matrix block enveloped Aurora. The latter’s resistance was all turned into a plaything of her authority, dissipating in [Time and Space].
“Goodbye, Aurora, you pitiful god.”
1200 Judgment Blades pierced towards the golden block from all directions, “killing” Aurora again and again. Without the blessing of the ritual, when her power was exhausted, her life would eventually not be able to be revived again.
Before Aurora “died,” she sneered.
“I also have my own trump card, Goddess of Light.”
“You are indeed very strong, so strong that it’s outrageous. All things in the world seem to be under your control.”
“But if you knew that part of your memory, what choice would you make?”
“[Soul Wind]”
Aurora finally, at the very end, used all her power to activate her authority.
The finally activated authority even sacrificed the rest of her soul.
Even if Reina had used [Time and Space] to defend in advance, she hadn’t completely caught up.
When she came to her senses, she was in the Golden Holy Temple, surrounded by people.
“The summoning ritual is successful. Please choose your class, Hero.”
Reina froze.
Could it be that all of Aurora’s power was just to give me this memory?
Gravity is the curvature of space time. It makes sense why Calysia uses gravity magic, she’s obsessed with Reina’s curves
