25. “Please Leave”
“Boom—!”
Over two thousand spears charged towards the few black lasers, erupting amidst the clash of swords and blades, colliding with a golden flame, forming a massive sphere of light in the intense magical confrontation, making it difficult to open one’s eyes.
The three onlookers were dumbfounded.
Unlike the quickly defeated Colossus, Reina was actually able to fight the Goddess of Light on equal footing.
Liya knelt on the ground.
“Is this the battle of the strong?”
“There’s no room for me to interfere.”
Sophia patted Liya’s shoulder and comforted her.
“Equal footing? No…”
Kribi broke out in a cold sweat and shouted:
“Look closely, damn it! This is nowhere near equal footing!”
“She’s a damn lunatic!”
The two looked up and, through the two invisible black flames, observed the god-like battle. A black and a golden light, like two reflecting rays, collided and cut at each other, seemingly evenly matched. But upon closer inspection, it was clear that the black power was far stronger than the golden power!
“If she makes a mistake three times, no, twice! Azure Scale will die!”
Kribi’s eyes were bloodshot.
“But, but! Why can she dodge it?! It’s like…”
“It’s like she predicted the future?” Sophia sensed the anomaly and continued Kribi’s thought:
“It’s said that one of the Goddess of Light’s powers is to see through all things.”
“Compared to the Goddess of Light, little sister Reina is even more like the Goddess of Light!”
“That’s right.”
Reina could clearly feel that this subtle difference greatly reduced her desire to fight.
But the attack methods were exactly the same.
She continuously used [Gravity Reversal], and in just two seconds, she used [Gravity Pierce] five times and [Gravity Reversal] eleven times, her speed like a phantom. She avoided three laser attacks that would have been fatal and a “sniper” attack of feathers as fast as a phantom.
But she was fighting this battle with ease.
Based on her understanding of the person in the sky, just by seeing her raise her hand, Reina could predict her next move. This boss’s entire skill set had been completely figured out and memorized by Reina. Repeatedly defeating her in the golden light, Reina was now at ease in front of this goddess, even able to stroll leisurely amidst the falling black death rays from the sky.
And she was strange.
She was clearly the Goddess of Light, but her strength was gradually weakening, eventually reaching only about level 100. She didn’t look like the Goddess of Light, but a robot mimicking her fighting style, changing its output power.
Five minutes later, Reina’s [Judgment Blade] severed her wings, ending the battle.
The “Goddess of Light” who fell to the ground still didn’t reveal her true face.
Reina placed the holy sword against her neck and said coldly:
“Compared to the real her, you’re too weak.”
“Tell me, who are you?”
“Where is the real Goddess of Light?”
Reina was disappointed. This battle itself was very strange.
Why would the Goddess of Light be in the hands of the Shadow of God?
This organization, calling itself the Shadow of God, didn’t miss any opportunity. They hid in the darkness, waiting for the best time to strike. The reason Reina had asked the Dark Elf Queen to sense the premonition of danger was precisely because of this…
And even so, Reina had to admit that this time, the Four Kings of the Realms were in an extremely dangerous situation.
The Shadow of God didn’t hold back at all, bringing out such powerful weapons, including that mysterious dragon and the bandaged girl herself, all for the purpose of annihilating the Four Kings of the Realms.
They had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
Thinking of this, Reina didn’t waste any time.
She extended her hand, and the power within the Goddess of Light was gradually drawn out, forming countless threads that entered her own body.
[Devour]
At the same time, the “Goddess of Light” raised her hand, which was being decomposed by the air, gradually dissipating into black fragments, as if to touch Reina’s body.
She seemed to want to answer Reina’s question, but the next second, Reina, sensing the danger in advance, jumped back. As expected, a spatial vortex magic appeared where she had just been standing.
As the spatial cubes dissipated, the bandaged girl, the man in the suit, and Dragon Slayer appeared before her. The bandaged girl lifted a corner of the bandage on her chest, revealing her fair skin, and the “Goddess of Light” lying on the ground was drawn back into her body… no, into the inside of the bandage, which was covered in text.
The power absorption was interrupted, but Reina was in a good mood.
Seeing these three, she knew she had won.
“A temporary retreat,” the bandaged girl said in her ethereal voice.
“As expected, a fake is a fake,” the man in the suit shrugged and sighed.
Just as Dragon Slayer was also urging them to leave, the bandaged girl was suddenly drawn to Reina’s eyes, as if she had noticed something, and her body twitched slightly. She sensed that a part of the “Goddess of Light’s” power she had absorbed was missing, and that part had gone into Reina’s body.
She stepped forward and walked towards Reina.
Then, she said in a somewhat guilty voice:
“We lost…”
“Of course, you’ll lose next time too,” Reina smiled.
With their most powerful weapon defeated, they naturally had no reason to continue fighting.
The Shadow of God was indeed very strong.
So strong that even Reina had misjudged them, letting her guard down, thinking that the Shadow of God was just another common, flashy cult.
But it turned out that they were a group of ruthless terrorists who didn’t miss any opportunity.
It was just that they didn’t have the power to easily defeat the Four Realms.
The bandaged girl shook her head and said something that slightly shocked Reina:
“When will you come with us, Goddess of Light?”
“…”
Reina didn’t know what to say for a moment. As a transmigrator, it was difficult to explain her identity, but some things didn’t need to be explained. Now that she could use light magic, she could naturally become the Goddess of Light.
The bandaged girl extended her hand, and just as it was about to touch Reina, it quickly retracted as if electrocuted, as if she had sensed something. She lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
“Even… even this is just a clone…”
“Only we can save you.”
“Before you are betrayed by everyone, come back with us.”
Her voice suddenly became sympathetic and tragic, with a hint of respect, even making Reina feel like she was the leader of the Shadow of God.
Reina showed a disdainful expression and smiled:
“Do I need to be saved?”
“It seems you haven’t recovered your memories yet…” the bandaged girl shook her head.
She took Reina’s sleeves with both hands, like a pitiful little girl begging to be taken home, and looked up:
“Do you still want to bear this suffering alone?”
“…”
Reina didn’t understand at all.
She didn’t know how to get more information, but she now understood that the person she had just fought was indeed not the Goddess of Light herself. This group, just like the Saintess, really thought she was the Goddess.
Reina suddenly remembered that the Saintess really wanted the Goddess and the Dragon King to get married…
Could there really be a hidden story?
But just then, a figure appeared beside Reina and pulled her into an embrace. Reina turned and found that it was the suddenly appearing Calysia. She held Reina in a princess carry, as if to declare her sovereignty, and looked at the bandaged girl with a terrifying smile, saying:
“I can’t give Reina to you.”
“Her happy ending will be realized by me, and by herself.”
“You bunch of people who just want to reap the benefits…”
“Please leave.”
