"You're crazy to defeat me. I still have thousands of years of energy left that I haven't used!" Theresa opened her arms and proved her words with a huge piece of metal that instantly filled the sky.

"I only use..."

Just a few decades.

Theresa froze, realizing she had lost, she had already lost from the moment she accepted the challenge.

She's obsessed with determining right and wrong, while Blaze just wants to save the world.

"You can no longer destroy the world today, nor can you destroy the world tomorrow. I have already snatched decades from you."

Chapter 288 The young man will not lose today!

The black wish card that brought divine power turned white, with only a small spot in the corner still burning. Blaze was about to return to his mortal body, and Theresa still had plenty of energy, but Theresa had already lost.

She treated Blaze with contempt, treating him as the young and hot-headed self of the past who did not know how to give up and thus completely lost the Age of Gods.

Blaze might be as young as she was in the past, but that was where the similarity ended.

From the moment Blaze knew her purpose and started to provoke her, he had been thinking about how to win this reckless challenge.

Theresa looked up at the bumpy surface of the moon, and she suddenly realized why she accepted Blaze's challenge.

Distinguishing right from wrong is just a polite excuse; she was just jealous.

Even though they had gathered people and launched an incredible challenge, she lost and lost everything, while Blaze won.

Blaze is the self she longs to be, the self who never loses, the self who never gives up.

Why didn't she use this power, enough to lift the surface of the world, to defeat the Titans?

It’s not that she can’t lose, but that she can’t afford to lose, because that failure that led to the loss of civilization made her lose even the courage to challenge.

Fearing the consequences of losing, she gave up thinking, gave up resisting, gave up all the possibility of risk, and chose the safest method.

She should have used the knowledge of the Age of Gods to lead the new generation of humanity, rallying them to challenge the Titans that ravaged the world time and time again. But instead, she hid in a dark corner, alone, assembling her so-called salvation device, part by part.

"Hahahaha... I spent thousands of years creating a device that could destroy the world. What the hell am I even doing?"

Theresa covered her face with her hands and laughed at herself.

She didn't dare to fight the evil Titans or the Nemean Giants, but she came to fight Blaze.

How unbearable.

The ripples in space slowly disappeared, and the giant metals in the sky decomposed into energy and disappeared.

Theresa landed slowly and walked towards Blaze step by step.

She was old, very old, while Blaze was still very young and full of energy, as if he could get up again no matter how many times he fell.

The road to Blaze was extremely long, so Theresa had time to look at the sky.

Why was the sky so beautiful? Why had she never truly appreciated it in the thousands of years she had lived beneath it?

Ah, she remembered, perhaps she had admired the sky, even written poetry about it.

But she kept cutting her own memories, forgetting all the encounters and experiences, and storing them up, so she was always the same person full of resentment and panic.

She thought this was to prevent herself from being eroded by time, but she just didn't want to change. Because everything she wanted to protect had disappeared, she didn't want anything to replace it, so she closed herself off.

The result is that thousands of years have been lived in vain.

Finally, Theresa walked in front of Blaze.

Finally, she meets her ideal self in the future.

She wanted to say in person that she lost.

She wanted to do what she had done thousands of years late—entrust the flame of the Age of Gods to the new generation, but fortunately it was not too late.

"Blazer, I..."

A flash of lightning struck, without thunder or strong wind. It was like a ray of light that suddenly appeared and pierced through Theresa's body, nailing her to the ground.

Blaze froze. It was a gun, a gun that looked like a twig.

The person who threw the spear appeared in this virtual world at some point. He was riding an eight-legged warhorse and wearing handsome armor. His face was obscured by the light, except for his left eye, which was completely dark.

"Ahem—the second generation of [One-Eye]!?" Theresa coughed and looked at the being riding the eight-legged warhorse in disbelief.

"Why are you here?"

"The curse of the One-Eyed God!?" Blaze was shocked. He suddenly remembered the content of the Svartalfheim Fruit. Eating the fruit to gain wisdom would bring down the curse of the One-Eyed God.

However, the curse does not come when one gains wisdom, but it is only incurred when one upgrades the [Forger] to [Forge Master] or above.

When he used the wish card, all professions were broken through to the highest value, including the [Blacksmith]!

The one-eyed god came seeking the wisdom of the dwarves.

Blaze could not imagine what would happen to the blessed one who was blessed with immortality by being killed by a god.

Maybe...

"Hahahaha——" Theresa suddenly laughed. Even though her body was pierced and she was dying, she laughed so hard that tears came out.

"Young man, are you afraid now? Do you understand the consequences of being reckless?"

"Is this the time to talk about this?!" Blaze couldn't take his eyes off the one-eyed god. The oppression of the real god gradually increased due to the gradually ineffective wish cards.

"But don't worry!" Theresa felt the vibration of the spear. It was obvious that the owner of the spear had begun to summon it. The strong pain made her feel painful, but she smiled instead.

It was a smile as loving as that of the statue of the Virgin Mary.

"You will not die today and will return safely."

"You, are you..." Blaze was stunned. The name of the Virgin Mary was not among the names Theresa had given him. But before he could figure it out, he found Theresa struggling to stand up.

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing, just going to challenge God."

Theresa tightly grasped the spear that was trying to escape from her body. The space rippled again, and the roar of the Age of Gods technology sounded again.

Theresa pulled a badge from her pocket and placed it in Blaze's hand.

"Go find my teacher. I have kept the flame of the Age of Gods in his hands."

"You want me to leave you alone to face God?"

"You'll only be holding me back if you stay."

Blaze slowly clenched his fists, and the last dot on the wish card disappeared. Time was so short. Theresa's words stung like a knife, and there was no way to refute them.

"Let's go, young man."

Theresa patted Blaze's chest and whispered, "Leave with your back to me like a winner. Be sure to leave slowly, don't run, and be careful not to fall."

Blaze gripped the badge tightly, using all his strength to look at the one-eyed god, as if to carve his image into his soul. He gritted his teeth, his body trembling as he slowly turned around.

The one-eyed god finally made a move. He raised his hand and called for the spear, but Theresa held the spear tightly and could not move.

So he waved his hand, the huge door opened, and countless heroic warriors rushed out.

That was an army assembled to deal with the end of the world.

She turned her head, closed her eyes, and listened to the boy's footsteps as he left. Compared to when he came, his footsteps became heavier, which was a sense of frustration and unwillingness.

But it doesn’t matter, you didn’t lose, you were just unlucky and encountered the enemy early.

And don't be sad, I'm staying here not to buy time for you with my life, but for...

"Shoot down the gods."

Theresa raised her hand and snapped her fingers. The moon moved away, and with it came the dark deep sky and the stars that illuminated the infinite darkness.

[One-Eye], a supreme god in mythology, has a destined death, so all deaths other than those destined will submit to him.

This is an enemy that is absolutely unbeatable, so we have to fight.

She, he has been running away for thousands of years.

The shattered man, with staggering steps, walked alone towards the invincible god and the immortal warriors amid the roar of the stars.

"Young man, he won't lose today!"

When the boy slowly walked away with the attitude of a winner, she had already won.

……

The eight-legged warhorse was shattered, the noble armor was torn into pieces, the undead soldiers disappeared into thin air, and the stars in the deep sky fell one after another. They were the wreckage of the huge aerial fortress.

Theresa walked with her broken body supported by the spear that was always hitting the target. She passed by a person shrouded in light and stood behind the person in the light, gazing at the distant scenery.

"Haha, is this the kind of scenery our time is pursuing?"

The end of science is God.

To see God was the dream of an age abandoned by God, but she had surpassed God and came behind Him.

"That's great."

……

[The Land Where the Dream of the Age of Gods Fell]

Chapter 289 The boy chewed the fruit of defeat and continued to move forward

A huge firework bloomed in the sky, and the fairy pattern shone brightly. The duel between the strangers ended, and the winner was the [Fairy Alliance].

Blaze raised his hands, applauding his friends' victory, but inside he felt incredibly bitter.

He had clearly accomplished his goal and returned victorious, but he couldn't help wiping his eyes with the back of his hand.

This was the first time he felt the feeling of frustration.

Even when he had to flee in panic the first time he faced the Nemean Giants, he had to provoke them fiercely before leaving triumphantly. This time, he left safely and unscathed, yet he felt like he had lost a lot.

Thinking about it carefully, it turns out that he really has never encountered any setbacks, as if he grew up in a honey pot. But today he fell hard and got a bruised face.

Blaze sniffed hard and looked at the badge in his hand with red eyes.

【Chiron's Qualification Certificate】

【? ? ? 】

Blaze felt aggrieved and could not help but squat down, holding his head and pinching the badge of unknown meaning.

"Damn it! I clearly won, but they still gave me this ridiculous thing. Can't they give me something more substantial?"

The boy, who tasted the fruit of defeat for the first time, crushed the bitter fruit into pieces, scraped the fruit residue between his teeth with his tongue viciously, and used the bitterness to urge himself to stand up and walk quickly.

"Go upgrade."

"Next time, I won't lose."

……

In the goblin village, Hebi was pacing back and forth, occasionally grabbing his hair anxiously.

There is no way around this. Blaze is no different from challenging a god.

In contrast to Herbie's anxiety, the other two were unusually calm.

Audrey, the new queen of Arcadia, stood motionless like a beautiful statue, and her moon-like appearance inadvertently changed the goblins' aesthetic taste. I'm afraid that in the near future, goblins will no longer be known as the ugly green elves.

Marika, the new lord of the Fast territory, leader of the Royal Knights, who was awarded the status of Duke for her outstanding contribution in the battle against the Nemean Giants, is patrolling the goblin village with a group of goblins.

In Marika's own words, today is not a holiday, so she can't be idle, and the goblin village is also part of Fast's territory, so she has to work.

It was unknown how long it took before the figure appeared in the goblin village.

"You're back safely!?"

Herbie screamed and immediately rushed forward, jumping onto Blaze.

"Of course. After all, I possessed the power of God for a short time." Blaze leaned over helplessly and asked this old guy with a flexible mind to get down quickly.

"Just as we planned, after draining most of her energy, we'll use the [Emergency Escape Device] to escape. She'll be furious, but she won't be exposed. Otherwise, she'll become the next Nemean Giant."

This was the request made by Herbie, or rather Herbie, Audrey, and Marika, when they agreed to Blaze going on the date, to ensure their own safety as much as possible.
