Chapter 139 Review
Chapter 139 Review
The thick trunk arches out from the cracks in the stone bricks underground, twisting and turning like a dragon, but it dies halfway through its journey. Countless thin branches, like a giant spider web, entwine the broken columns, collapsed arches, and shattered statues.
The Tree of Life has been felled, the God of Life has fled, leaving only the traces of these manifested laws, which the palace servants are cleaning up; these are also spiritual materials.
All that remained of the enormous stained glass was twisted lead strips and scattered crystal fragments. Diane stood in front of the French windows, gazing through the broken glass at the gradually cleared palace.
"It's good that you're alright. Don't be so impulsive next time. How could you be so sure they wouldn't kill you?"
The head maid held Diane in her arms. Diane, resting her head on the cushion, smelled the head maid's warm fragrance and was drowning in the head maid's tenderness. Diane sighed.
"Although I live off you guys every day, living off you guys is different from being a spineless man. I hate people who act all tough all the time but back down when it really matters."
She nuzzled her head from side to side, feeling the soft, comfortable texture. Diane's tone was firm, like a rock.
"I'm their target. Facing a demigod, should I just watch as the angelic Isabella and Tatiana cover my death?"
Diane pursed his lips. Even if Isabella wasn't carrying his child, he wouldn't hesitate to step up when it was his turn to do so.
It's not like someone who usually enjoys physical exercise and boasts of being physically strong would suddenly become weak in a crisis; Diane would feel better off dead.
"Master is right, but in my heart, I hope they will cover your death."
Everyone else was Diane's appendage, and it was only natural for them to die for her. The head maid had said too many things that were detrimental to unity. Of course, she wouldn't say them so bluntly to others, but she didn't hide it from Diane.
"Don't be so cold-hearted. I understand you, and you understand me. Please forgive me this time. I was wrong, even if I won't change next time."
Diane showed remorse for admitting her mistake, but she was not truly repentant. The next time she encountered a similar situation, Diane would still step in, since it was all because of him and he was the target.
"Master, you are so stubborn."
Holding Diana tightly, the head maid's heterochromatic eyes brimmed with affection.
"If I weren't so stubborn, would you have fallen in love with me? I love you the most, I love you to the extreme, but I also have to admit that I have feelings for other women."
Diane felt the head maid's loving concern as she placed her hands on Diane's. The delicate hands looked extremely fragile, and it was hard to imagine that these hands had torn apart the laws of two gods last night.
"Including Mrs. Eve from last night, how were you feeling?"
The head maid spoke gently, without any teasing, and seemed genuinely curious.
"Everything is fine, but something feels a little strange."
Diane became somewhat less confident.
"What's strange about that?"
The head maid was also curious about Diane's indescribable expression.
"As for the snake woman, didn't she switch to legs later on?"
After switching from snake form to human form, judging from Diane's fierce demeanor, all of Diane's pent-up frustration should have been resolved.
"You saw it?"
Diane turned her head in surprise. Had the head maid been spying on him? He hadn't noticed at all.
He didn't even notice Lotina, let alone the head maid; it just goes to show how poor people's vigilance is at that time.
"Yes, we need to protect your safety so you don't get hurt."
The head maid made no attempt to conceal it; she had seen it, and how could she feel at ease if she didn't? What if that wicked woman kidnapped Diane?
"What injury could I possibly suffer? I am no longer an ordinary person. I have awakened the Holy Blood and become an extraordinary being."
Diane coughed lightly. Mrs. Eve really gave off a good impression; the femme fatale had a unique charm.
"Master is very capable. It seems that Miss Lotina's rescue last night was not in vain."
The head maid smiled faintly. If Diana was comfortable, she was comfortable. All she wanted was for Diana to be happy.
"You still say that I thought you two had a good relationship, and that you didn't hold back at all?"
Lottina often discussed theology with the head maid, but yesterday Diane felt that if she didn't stop her, the head maid might really kill Lottina, showing no mercy and executing both the Storm Goddess and Lottina.
"Are you close? I don't think so. It's just wishful thinking on her part. I'm only close to you. Discussing theology with her is just a formality, mainly to avoid making you feel awkward in front of Mrs. Eve."
The head maid said indifferently that she could talk to Lottina only because discussing theology with Lottina would benefit Mrs. Dianepaw Eve. If there was no such purpose, Lottina had never been cared for by her and was not worthy of her attention.
"Never mind, as long as the ending is good, that's fine. Now that Mrs. Eve has joined our side, who will be our next target?"
Seeing that the discussion had returned to square one, Diane asked the next question, and the more they talked, the more she could feel the head maid's deep love.
"Lady Terry is good; she proved her loyalty this time. Queen Fafia is also good; they are both people who can become demigods to protect you after I leave."
The head maid's tone was slightly downcast when she spoke of leaving. She didn't want to leave; separating from Diane felt like being separated from her own flesh and blood, and she was already feeling a dull ache in her chest.
"Mrs. Thalys, if you're not going to say anything more, what's your opinion on the followers of the Sun God?"
Diane shrank back when he thought of Queen Favya's fanaticism; he truly admired her stubbornness.
"How can we see it? Make contact, and then demand their submission."
The head maid spoke rather bluntly, seemingly having little affection for these believers of the sun god. She looked up at the sky, where the golden sunlight was magnificent and warm, a round sun shining brightly in all directions.
"Then it's up to you. It seems you are the true Sun God, and I am not. Do you have the memories of awakening the Sun God?"
Diane looked up curiously and asked. With the Sun God believers coming up, the head maid's identity was practically an open secret. With Diane's reasoning ability, she could deduce the head maid's identity.
"No, it might take until you reach the level of a lesser god, or you might never have this memory in your lifetime. I have already handed over the essence of the Sun God to you!"
The head maid said uncertainly, "Her divine realm did not show the characteristics of the Sun God, and the followers of the Sun God did not sense the Sun God's awakening, so it is very likely that the essence of the Sun God is in Diane."
"Holy blood? So I really have become the Sun God? Will the memories of the Sun God awakening take over my life?"
Diane thought of Lottina's struggle yesterday and felt a tingling sensation in her body, as if she were at risk of being replaced at any moment. "No, I won't let Him do that, and you shouldn't be like Lottina, foolishly participating in any rituals."
A cold glint flashed in the head maid's eyes as she pressed the somewhat reassured Diane's head against her chest, comforting her.
“I’m not that stupid. Faith really does make people lose their minds. Even if you know it’s wrong, you still do it.”
Diane was truly dumbfounded by Lottina's act of sacrificing herself for the gods yesterday; he felt she had gone mad from chanting scriptures. If it were him, he wouldn't have done it.
"What if someone asks you to do it in my name to help me?"
Hearing Diane's muffled reply from her arms, the head maid countered with a question, her slender white fingers running through Diane's hair, slowly combing it.
"This……"
Diane pondered carefully but could not give an answer. Now, of course, he could answer righteously that he would not, because if it really came to that, it would be just like when he answered whether or not to sacrifice himself to give Isabella and Her Majesty the Queen a way to survive.
"You're not much smarter than Lotina, my master. In this situation, it's better to wait for me to die and commit suicide with me than to fall into this trap in order to save me!"
The head maid said affectionately, telling Diane the correct answer. Although the best way was to carry on his legacy and avenge his family, Diane wouldn't listen unless she made it sound more serious.
"Okay, I'll be good!"
Diane is the type of person who listens to advice. She wouldn't commit suicide for love; that would be too weak. Diane feels that revenge and killing are the most suitable things for her when the time comes.
"Gods are all treacherous, as you have seen. If I hadn't concealed my laws, they might have succeeded."
Last night was quite a close call for the head maid. She managed to keep herself and Diane safe, but she couldn't protect people like Isabella and Mrs. Eve.
Diane would have been heartbroken for a long time if these people had died, and she would have been sad. But now it's good that no one has perished because of this.
"Yes, that was too insidious. Luckily, Queen Fafya tipped us off, and Mother Melu arrived in time. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to deceive the Moon Goddess and let her suffer such a huge loss."
Many things happened yesterday by coincidence. If the God of Life had triggered the warning of Diane's death, the head maid would have been facing the God of Life when she teleported over, and perhaps she wouldn't have been able to severely injure the Moon Goddess.
"Yes, it was indeed a stroke of luck. Although it was still possible to force back the God of Life and the Moon Goddess, since the Goddess of Storms has awakened and will encounter the Moon Goddess who is trying to steal her away, a fight is inevitable. But the outcome would not have been as good as it is now."
Everyone was safe and sound. Lotina's personality did not disappear, but the soul of the Storm Goddess did.
"Yes, we should thank Queen Fafia and Mother Melu."
Diane witnessed the perilous situation yesterday, even to the point where he had to risk his life. At the time, he had no idea that his life was truly in danger and that the head maid would teleport him to his rescue.
Several times she thought she was going to die, but she was lucky enough to survive. This was all thanks to Queen Fafia's warnings and preparations, as well as the appearance of Mother Merlu, who helped Diane block the God of Life.
"Queen Favya is simple, just give her a child. The trouble is with Mother Merlu, she wants to marry you!"
The head maid gave her an aunt-like smile. Among all the gods, this Lord of the Purple Sea, who had not colluded with them, was very much to her liking.
"Ah, I am now the Queen's husband, but what I really want to do is to be your husband, Margaret."
Diane felt conflicted, lacking some ambition and strategic vision, but it was simply her heart, and she didn't want to be a faithless person.
"It's okay, no rush. She's already gone, so you don't need to think too much about it. You don't need to face her directly right now."
The head maid was just giving Diane a heads-up to avoid her vehement opposition later on when they proposed the idea of a goddess. They succeeded; the goddess in Diane's heart was indeed her.
"She left again? I barely saw her. Is she that busy? She didn't even stay for a meal!"
Although Diane was in a difficult position, she respected and liked this mermaid sister very much, and helped her several times.
“She is a reincarnation of a god, and is now hated by all the gods. She cannot stay. If she stays, she will be attacked by the gods. We cannot afford to be attacked by all the gods at once, and we cannot give them that title!”
The head maid offered an explanation, but Diane frowned and remained silent, simply inhaling the head maid's milky scent.
"The gods are also hostile to us. After this, they will probably treat you as a major enemy as well. What difference does it make whether she stays here or not?"
Although the gods are selfish, they are not stupid. In the current situation, they know that the rise of the new gods is unstoppable and that they need to unite and fight.
"That's true, but when it comes to us, we can still divide and win you over. The gods won't think that I won't restrict your growth. In their eyes, you're at most a lesser god who can become my henchman."
"So, although they don't trust you, they feel that your potential is limited. You have the intention to secretly seize the master, and they are afraid of being used by others. You also have my deterrent effect, so it's not easy for them to join forces with you."
The head maid chuckled softly. The gods were indeed clever, but they overlooked the factor of emotion and did not understand how close she and Diane were.
“But the Lord of the Purple Sea is different. She is a supreme god, and they have an irreconcilable hatred for her. No matter how confused they are, they will not let her go. It must be a joint effort of all the gods, so she has to hide.”
"The relationship between her and us can be defined as cooperation. The gods will not attack us just because we cooperate. Everyone is afraid of becoming a pawn for others to test them, like the moon goddess now."
The head maid, with a smile, lifted the moon goddess, laughing even more heartily. Unfortunately, she was so engrossed in her embrace that she couldn't pull herself away, as she was being held tightly.
"Is that so? It's a pity I didn't have a chance to thank her; Mrs. Eve was too persistent last night."
Diane said embarrassedly that she only found out about these things last night when the head maid came to clean up the battlefield. The Moon Goddess failed, and the God of Life took the opportunity to escape.
If Diane had come with the head maid, she could have thanked her in person, instead of being unable to see her as she was today. It would have been one thing if he had delayed important business, but he was indulging in pleasure.
“Then be nicer to Melu, that’s the same as being nicer to her. Melu is her daughter, and it’s a bit like Lottina’s situation.”
The head maid pointed at Diane, who nodded in response. He had always been very kind to Melu, who was also very cute; he treated her like a daughter and a younger sister.
The two embraced, savoring each other's fleeting breaths. Time passed very quickly. Diane broke free from the head maid's embrace as the sun began to set.
"We have obtained a lot of laws in this divine war, which can enhance our side's combat power. This time, no, both divine wars have been of great help to me. I feel that I am about to break through to the level of a lesser god. If there is another divine war, I may be able to become a lesser god."
The head maid was filled with reluctance; things had progressed too quickly. She had wanted to spend more time with Diane, but these gods kept sending her off.
