I, the Holy Maiden of Light, tear apart the Outer Gods.

Section 278, Chapter 37: The System's Last Task

Anjie had no interest in explaining these issues to her "father-in-law," because the next second she picked up her sword and slashed again.

Like Azathoth, Ange also felt that she and the other party were completely unable to communicate.

Azathoth's power is absolutely "transcendent" even among gods like Aurora. To defeat him, all the gods would need to go all out.

Currently, Ange is only able to contend with Azathoth by relying on the power of the laws and directly utilizing the primal power of this world. However, compared to Azathoth, who already possesses such immense power, Ange's strength is like a castle in the air. If she continues to entangle herself with him, Ange will only suffer losses.

Moreover, even now, Azathoth's idea is not to fight Ange to the death; He is waiting.

The moment Leng Yuan's spatial barrier collapsed, unable to withstand the aftershocks of the two gods' energy, he would be free from Leng Yuan's restraints. Whether he turned his attention to the entire world or chose to escape and recuperate, it would be a decision he could make in a single thought.

Azathoth never considered running away a shameful thing, or rather, the concept of "shame" didn't even exist for Him. Having been corrupted by power for so long, Azathoth had lost the emotions that most living beings possess.

This is not a good thing for Anjie, because Anjie cannot afford to delay.

Therefore, Ange could only try her best and use every means to kill Azathoth.

The golden tide surged toward the sky once more, but this time darkness learned to yield, allowing the light to engulf the heavens, while it quietly huddled in a corner, silently watching the newly born god whose attacks were growing increasingly violent.

He could feel his power being devoured by the golden tide, but correspondingly, he could also feel the power of the newborn god gradually diminishing.

The barrier of the cold space gradually became covered with cracks.

Soon I will be free.

Azathoth remained silent, but began counting down in his mind.

Anjie felt the power within her body, and her gaze gradually darkened.

If this continues, the only one who will suffer is yourself.

However... the law of balance only granted Ange power equal to her opponent's. While this allowed Ange to possess such great power in such a short time, it also meant that Ange was unable to deliver a fatal blow to her opponent.

Is this the only way things can go on...?

The restlessness in his heart manifested outwardly, making the sword in his hand even sharper and more fierce. But in Azathoth's eyes, such actions were no different from those of an ordinary creature struggling for its life and fighting to the death.

【Host~ Do you need any help~】

Suddenly, the system's voice rang in Anjie's ears.

Anjie was taken aback.

Since she left the realm of gods and faced Azathoth, the system has not spoken again. At first, Ange thought that the system was unable to leave the realm of gods, but she did not expect it to just be playing dead!

"...Is watching a show really that enjoyable?"

[You're not dead yet, what's the rush?]

"It's too late if you're dead!"

So that's why I came out, wasn't I?

"..."

No, this guy is just too damn annoying.

If we weren't so easily separated right now, I would definitely use the power of the gods to seal you away for ten thousand years!

As a system, my primary task is to help the host overcome various difficulties.

[Host, do you remember a long time ago when you envied someone else's great power, and how I responded to you then?]

"...Spit it out!" Anjie had no mood to play games with the system now, and her tone was slightly irritable.

Of course, the main reason is that in my memory, most of the people who were involved with the system were either arguing with each other or breaking each other's defenses.

As for the one or two "philosophical" remarks that the system occasionally uttered, Anjie probably forgot about them by then, throwing them into the non-recyclable garbage.

Fortunately, the system understood Anjie's thoughts and wasn't angry. Instead, it slowly said:

I once said that as long as you complete the tasks I assign, one day in the future, even the true gods will not be your match.

"...So now I'm 'absolutely even'? Heh, no one can beat me anymore, because they can't beat me and I can't beat them."

【Hahaha】

Upon hearing Anjie's complaints, the system burst into laughter.

Before long, a semi-transparent light screen appeared in Anjie's line of sight.

[Mission: The God Who Declares War on the World]

[Content: Defeat Azathoth]

[Success Reward: Breast Enhancement Exercise *1]

[Failure Penalty: Here's a perk for you—there's no penalty for failing this time!]

"..."

The sudden assignment left Anjie a little stunned.

She didn't understand the point of the system issuing a task at this time. If it was just a random task to give her some magical artifacts or something to help her, she could understand it.

But putting aside the fact that the quest itself requires defeating Azathoth, is the reward actually worthwhile?

Breast enhancement exercises?

What a joke! How could I, the Holy Maiden of Light, the Goddess of the Law of Balance, a deity whose strength rivals that of Azathoth, need such a thing?

Humph--

Um...

What if, I mean, what if it actually works?

Anjie suddenly felt conflicted.

But the next second, he snapped out of it and wanted to slap himself. He was still fighting Azathoth, how could he be distracted by thinking about such nonsense? Yeah, it's all this lousy system's fault for sending out things that undermine morale at a time like this!

That's all the help I can give you!

"what?"

After uttering a nonsensical remark, the system disappeared without a trace, and no matter how Anjie called out to it in her mind, there was no response. However, this time Anjie could clearly sense that the other party was silently watching her every move.

Although the system is crazy most of the time, it is reliable in critical moments.

"It seems the solution lies in this mission... Mission details? Rewards for success? Penalties for failure? None of them seem quite right..."

Azathoth noticed that Ange's attack frequency was decreasing sharply, and she would often pause or freeze. He assumed that Ange's power was running out. No matter how powerful Ange was or how special her authority was, compared to himself, she was just a newly born god.

Such an intense battle must have nearly drained her of her strength.

However, He did not intend to take advantage of the situation, or rather, He still had no intention of defeating Ange.

Azathoth's purpose, from beginning to end, has only been this world and the creatures in this world. Ange's appearance was merely another "entertainment project" for Azathoth.

He wants to destroy this continent in front of Ange.

The newborn deity, having lost the faith of living beings, will likely soon become like Him, recognizing the essence of the world, the essence of power, and the essence of laws, and finally discarding both the appearance of living beings and useless emotions.

The thought of Ange, thousands of years later, having lost her human emotions and become a true "god," filled Azathoth with a long-lost feeling of "pleasure." Ange had no interest in explaining these matters to her "father-in-law," because the next second she was already slashing at him with her sword again.

Like Azathoth, Ange also felt that she and the other party were completely unable to communicate.

Azathoth's power is absolutely "transcendent" even among gods like Aurora. To defeat him, all the gods would need to go all out.
