Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

Celia paused for a second, the words she was about to say were abruptly cut off by the sudden appearance of the goddess.

"—Space travel magic!?"

"who are you?"

Seria quickly realized what was happening, her expression turning serious as she stared intently at the seemingly "elf" before her.

The remaining magic power on his body began to surge slightly.

The goddess glanced at her, her voice ethereal and resonant:

"Young elves, do not act, for I am the goddess of creation."

The goddess did not leave a name in this world. Even the headquarters of the Goddess Church in the unified empire only praised the word "goddess".

Upon hearing this, Celia's outstretched finger froze in mid-air, and her previously wary expression suddenly changed.

"The Goddess of Creation?"

She rubbed her eyes. Oh no, she was hallucinating.

How could a god descend to earth and appear here?

Even though she couldn't see the goddess five hundred years ago because of some events, Celia knew that the goddess was real.

"you…"

Celia's breathing was somewhat disordered. After a brief moment of thought, combined with the current situation, she realized that everything ahead was not an illusion.

Only a goddess would consider herself young, because she is the one who created heaven and earth and all things.

"No need to be nervous, young elf."

The goddess saw through Celia's thoughts; she nodded slightly, her expression softening.

"I have come here because of the appearance of the hero."

"Someone prayed to me that the hero's sword had been drawn, so I came here specifically to see what kind of person the hero is."

At this point, she turned her head, a warm smile on her face, yet with a hint of scrutiny.

"Ronan, brave warrior, can you tell me where you come from?"

"My eyes can see into the future and the past, but your past is the only thing that is pitch black in my eyes."

"At the same time, you never appeared in the future I saw."

Can you tell me why this is?

The implication is quite clear; it's almost as if they're stating directly that Ronan is a variable.

Ronan stared at the goddess, but the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow display showed only gibberish, and he frowned.

At the same time, the goddess also frowned.

"I see."

The goddess seemed to sense something, and before Ronan could answer, she raised her hand and cast a time-stop spell.

She wanted to see what other tricks this hero had up his sleeve.

His divine power was actually corrupted by an unknown force, almost breaking through his divine body and interfering with divine authority...

Although the source of this power is unknown, it is clearly one of the reasons why the hero disrupted the future he saw.

The freezing of time was not intended to harm anyone, after all, in her eyes, Ronan had no sins.

This is simply to verify what I thought.

Who knows...

Chapter 53 54, fight, God gives in

The goddess's time-stopping attack caught Ronan completely off guard.

Although he had long known that his presence would attract the goddess's attention, he never expected the confrontation to come so quickly.

The feeling it gave him was like when a hero had just defeated a minor demon, and the Demon King immediately appeared, wanting to kill the hero.

"Is it really necessary..."

The gradual stagnation of the flow of time around him made Ronan feel that his thinking was also affected.

He had expected the goddess to launch a fatal blow immediately afterward, and he had even prepared for infinite resurrection.

After all, no matter how strong Feng Lingyueying is, she can't withstand a GM's authorization command to completely erase her data.

However, unexpectedly, after casting the spell of time stop, the goddess simply stood quietly in place.

This scene made Ronan frown.

What is she waiting for?

Despite his doubts, he acted without hesitation.

He accelerated himself 999 times, attempting to break free from the still-unfrozen spacetime around him.

At the same time, he used the [Invisibility] function in the menu to try to become immune to the goddess's targeted attacks.

(Partial stealth involves hiding character data, making it undetectable by AI.)

Since time freeze manipulates the surrounding time, invincibility buffs like damage immunity are useless against time magic.

Only by using invisibility to eliminate the character's "existence" can one possibly have a chance to resist.

Sure enough, after Ronan's figure disappeared, the goddess's pale golden pupils widened slightly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

“Unbelievable…” she murmured softly, a hint of surprise in her voice.

However, before she could continue her reflections, an unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly welled up in her heart.

Although there was no one in front of her, the goddess knew that Ronan had broken free from her magical restraints.

Almost instinctively, the goddess swiftly vanished into the void, simultaneously shouting:

"Wait, don't misunderstand, I'm not an enemy."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ronan appeared where she had been standing.

After accelerating 999 times, some debuffs were forcibly removed, and his movements returned to normal.

Upon hearing the goddess's voice, Ronan raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Misunderstand?"

He withdrew his fist, which had just depleted the opponent's health, and asked in a deep voice.

"What does it mean?"

He could understand the goddess's appearance—she had simply discovered his "abnormal data."

But what he couldn't understand was that the goddess's appearance was merely a test for him.

In his mind, God was always high above and would not allow any dissidents to appear under His rule.

The goddess sighed softly, seemingly resigned, and said helplessly:

"I just came to see what kind of person you are, and whether your existence will change the future of the world."

“A hero cannot be an evil person, and you have done a good job in that respect.”

"In the future I see, you have never indiscriminately killed innocent people, and I admire you."

Although the goddess could not see Ronan's past, she could foresee his future.

Although the existence of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow may cause these futures to deviate, Ronan's inner character will not be changed as a result.

This is also why she didn't kill him.

Upon hearing this, Ronan's mood gradually calmed down.

But he remained in stealth mode, silently adjusting his damage multiplier, and asked calmly:

"I see. May I assume that you have no intention of killing me?"

"Of course," the goddess nodded.

At this moment, the two are in different times and spaces, and neither can attack the other.

To outsiders, this scene appeared particularly bizarre.

The conversation between the two echoed in the empty air, like the whispers of ghosts.

Celia, who was hiding to the side, held her breath and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.

Before long, she realized that the two seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.

“I don’t know where your power comes from, but it is clear that it is almost equal to my own divine power.”

“I can interfere with the world, but you can interfere with yourself and others, Ronan the Brave. I acknowledge your status as an equal in our communication.”

"However, your existence will ultimately affect how this world works."

"Let's make a deal. I can send you away from this world, and in return, you can take anything with you."

The goddess's offer didn't sound tempting, but it made sense.

Gods of the Good and Lawful alignment will never easily compromise or lower their bottom line.

Only the condition of "traveling to other worlds" was somewhat appealing to Ronan.

However, it's only "somewhat".

Ronan shook his head and refused:

"Sorry, I'm not interested in these things, and I don't understand what it means to influence how the world works."

"Based on what you said before, can I conclude that the future of this world is predetermined?"

"That's true, but not entirely."

The goddess's tone was somewhat helpless; she lowered her eyes.

"The so-called settings are just in line with the development of the times. For example, the emergence of countries, the birth, aging, sickness and death of humans are all part of the times."

"And your appearance will change the times."
