The appearance of the Star Beast was unexpected, and the Demon King was even more stubborn than expected... Originally, we thought that the outer gate of the ruins, which we no longer cared about affecting, would be enough as a battlefield, but we didn't expect that two more outer gates would be crushed.
The fact that Qianyan, the initiator, reaped the greatest benefits after causing such a severe disaster is hardly a good thing for his public image.
"This girl... isn't suitable either..."
At this point, the goddess's eyes showed even more helplessness.
Ultimately, the girl's reasoning was the same as Thousand Eyes's: this little girl was basically just running around aimlessly with the dragon... In fact, the difference in strength between the blonde girl and the dragon was enormous. Just having teleportation abilities was already quite impressive, and pinpointing precise coordinates would be almost impossible.
In other words, she was responsible for at least one-third of the environmental damage in these three devastating outer gates.
There could be witnesses, so awarding the victory to her under these circumstances wouldn't be appropriate.
No... In fact, given her actions, it's very possible that she could even be branded with the Demon King's mark.
"The three of us should be roughly equal in terms of contribution, and with my recognition as the initiator of the game, there shouldn't be any problem even if the Garden Nobles were to assess us."
After explaining everything, the goddess shrugged.
"Ultimately, I'm the one who awards the prize. This victory is just a title. Besides, I think you're the one among the three of us who needs this victory the most. Of course, if you also need this honor..."
No, there's no need for that.
As the object of the goddess's gaze, the girl maintained her doll-like expression, tilting her head slightly before shaking it again.
Then, she gave a meaningful smile.
"For me, the most important goal has been achieved."
"..."
The goddess fell silent.
"Since you have no intention of revealing it, I will not investigate your identity."
Finally, she slowly spoke.
"But I hope you don't follow the same path as that sun."
Along with her words, a divine power of two digits also flowed from the goddess.
"Otherwise, I will treat you the same way I treated her."
"Um..."
Orpheus, caught in the crossfire, pouted helplessly.
Although the pressure wasn't enough to affect her, she felt as awkward as being caught between two arguing friends.
Also, did the goddess specially design the furniture and other items in this room because she occasionally needs to unleash her anger? They haven't broken at all.
However, she can understand Alpha's concerns.
After all, judging from the blonde girl's actions in the previous battle, although it's still impossible to understand what she's thinking, she's quite likely the type who likes to cause trouble.
"Do not worry."
The blonde girl, one of the parties involved, maintained a faint smile.
"No matter what trouble I cause, I will take responsibility and clean it up properly."
The goddess gazed intently at the blonde girl.
"That's a promise that's hard to feel at ease with."
Finally, she sighed deeply, and her divine power dissipated.
"Regardless, I hope we can continue to live in peace... Back to the main topic."
As she said this, the goddess with a thousand eyes pulled out a large stack of documents from somewhere.
"These are the prizes we've prepared for this event. You can choose any of them."
After giving a brief introduction, Alpha casually tossed the prize lists aside.
"However, I don't think there's anything in here that you'd need."
Although there are god-level items inside, let alone Orpheus, even the little girl's own spiritual level is comparable to that of a god. Ordinary-level gods would be more of a burden to them, and weapons and treasures would only be decorations.
The Demon King and the Sun Sovereignty, which were originally intended as the top prizes, have disappeared without a trace... In the end, this was just a pie in the sky painted by the goddess.
"Speaking of which, the biggest gain for you should be the victory itself, right? Although for me, 'Alpha,' it's just fulfilling a mission, it's different for you."
After explaining, the goddess gave a wry smile and summarized it this way.
Orpheus didn't understand the various rules of the miniature garden, but the blonde girl nodded thoughtfully.
"But in any case, compensation is a must."
Unlike her earlier aggressive attitude towards the blonde girl, the goddess now wore a smile that, while still somewhat cold, was considerably gentler than usual.
"First of all, regarding that unknown being who is probably a golden elf and possibly a half-star spirit, I can promise you that Thousand Eyes will help you establish a complete spirit identity—as a star spirit of the sun."
The blonde girl, who had remained calm throughout, was momentarily stunned, seemingly surprised by the reward offered by the goddess.
"Of course, this is after we have completely defeated that Demon King. From this point of view, our interests should be completely aligned, right? In addition, you can choose anything from the prize list, just don't go too far."
"you……"
The girl pouted slightly.
The goddess with a thousand eyes clearly wanted to drag her onto the chariot to fight against this demon king.
However, she quickly blew the air out of her mouth.
"Well, it's definitely a very good offer for me."
Even without Thousand Eyes, she originally wanted to continue causing trouble for that Demon King. Now that she has an extra henchman, it's naturally a good thing... Besides, even if she doesn't take action, it will only take a little longer. Once the contract is established, Thousand Eyes not only can't renege on the agreement, but also has to do his best to deal with this matter. He can't slack off just because there's no set deadline.
Well, unless Thousand Eyes goes bankrupt and closes down someday... but that's probably unlikely.
The blonde girl eventually accepted the goddess's promise.
"As for you..."
Nodding in satisfaction, the goddess turned to Orpheus this time, her expression turning serious.
Then, a voice that sounded like her own voice came from the side, interrupting her.
"Hey, dear sister, why did you hang up so quickly?"
Without warning, a black figure appeared in the room.
"...What do you need, silly little sister?"
Faced with the snarling newcomer, the white goddess responded calmly.
But the other person's response made her slightly lose her composure, and she raised her eyebrows.
"—Of course, this is no small matter. Those demon lords... they've all gone into overdrive!"
Chapter 464 The Mutant Demon King's Attack
"...What happened?"
Upon hearing the words of the newcomer who was only black and white in comparison to Alpha, Alpha, who had kept his eyes half-closed since the other party entered, finally raised his eyebrows.
The girl in black just snorted.
"How would I know? Anyway, by the time I realized what was happening, many of the demon lords that should have been confirmed to have been defeated had reappeared in the Garden of Babel, and those that had been sealed had broken free of their seals. Then, the spiritual power of each of these returning individuals swelled up like never before!"
Seeing the guy with the same face as himself, but now dancing around without any regard for his image, Alpha rubbed his temples in exasperation.
"What about the Heavenly Army? No matter how strong they are, can they possibly resist the Heavenly Army?"
Orpheus, who had been listening quietly to the side, also perked up his ears.
The Heavenly Army is a subordinate community of Buddhism. Although it has always wanted to unite with other divine groups, it currently only consists of Buddhist forces.
Even so, this pure combat community is already the main force against the Demon King, and its strength is enough to be on par with or even surpass all the mainstream god groups. Ordinary Demon Kings are no match for it.
But the Black Goddess scoffed at this so-called Heavenly Army.
"Those guys who only know how to shout slogans are already too busy to handle anything else. They even came to ask us, the two goddesses, for help. I wonder where they were when we were dealing with the sun."
"The Heavenly Army was originally supported solely by Buddhism, so it is normal that it could not spare enough strength."
Alpha sighed and explained to this unreasonable 'sister'.
There's a reason why Tianjun is always trying to recruit other god groups; they genuinely often face a shortage of manpower.
Almost every divine group has a demon king, and only the Buddhist sect comes to the rescue. If they can handle this, then the Buddhist sect's strength is too terrifying... But obviously, they don't have that kind of power, which is why they often have to seek support.
"But they couldn't even handle one demon king this time..."
As Alpha's sister... or rather, probably her sister—the goddess Omega, located on the other side of Akasha, pouted and complained.
Upon hearing her words, not only Alpha, but even Orpheus and the blonde girl were somewhat surprised.
—If the heavenly army were to come out in full force, even the two goddesses would have to go all out.
However, the Demon King, after his spirit expanded, rendered the Heavenly Army helpless.
Who are those demon kings?
The white goddess's eyes sharpened, and she asked a serious question.
The goddess in black touched her lips and pondered for a moment.
"There are quite a few of them, but they actually have a lot in common. Let me think... Yamata no Orochi, Jormungandr, Angra Mainyu, the Heavenly Bull, and the manifestations mentioned in the Mayan apocalypse, etc., they are all similar to these kinds of creatures."
"...The Trials of the Gods?"
Alpha frowned.
These demon kings have caused or are causing turmoil among the gods, or even bringing them to the brink of extinction.
“I know what you’re thinking, but besides ‘once’ and ‘currently’, you can now add ‘already’ and remove ‘on the verge’.”
"Varied……"
The white goddess stared wide-eyed.
The goddess in black finally took a serious look in her eyes.
“Those guys… are different from before. They are definitely not beings that can be dealt with by gods alone… Yes, even if we have the power to defeat them, we do not have the conditions to defeat them.”
