Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Now that I think about it, it seems to be true - the existence of the Curtain of God is an important symbol to distinguish "false gods". Under the protection of the "Curtain of God", all powers below the extraordinary level will be directly invalidated, and the extraordinary level is the symbol of forbidden magic.

Of course, this is just an appearance.

To this day, no one has been able to decipher the true nature of the God's Veil, but in a sense, isn't its existence similar to the so-called "realm"? The premise is that what the Star God said was true, and what Elsa's magic dispelled was indeed the God's "realm."

"I suddenly wondered what those powerful gods were like... Could this world be to them the same way magic is to us?"

Tricia's voice became light and airy.

She seemed a little undecided and fell silent.

Elsa didn't respond, but lowered her eyelashes thoughtfully.

Elsa considers herself to be a non-believer, but not believing in God only means not believing in the things of those charlatans. So if the so-called "God" is not a supernatural, abstract, illusory, or fabricated thing for this world, but a powerful existence that once existed in this world and possessed extraordinary powers, then the meaning is completely different.

A creature that towers over the world.

is it possible?

At this time, Tricia stopped what she was doing. The formation was completed and she stood up.

"She's not the only deity I know of. About sixty or seventy years ago, when the World Tree hadn't yet withered, I met a deity deep in Al-Atya. It was she who guided me to find the World Tree."

Tricia spoke with a look of nostalgia on her face, her hands moving non-stop. As she pressed her hands down, wisps of black mist seeped out of Madeleine's body and dissipated in the air.

"Gulu gulu..."

The phantom of the Star God made a strange sound and squirmed - strangely, the Star God at this moment gave Elsa a feeling as if he was aggrieved.

"But unfortunately, when I went to see her later, she had already died from exhaustion." Tricia continued, looking at the Star God, "She is probably the only 'Wild God' still alive and awake."

"The God of Wilderness is also a god, right? Can gods also die?"

"Yes, it's better to say that this world has long been unable to accommodate the existence of gods."

Tricia raised her eyes and stared straight at the Star God.

"Since the end of the Age of Gods, gods have been unable to draw power from this world. They have all entered an unstoppable demise. Many gods chose to sleep, and most of the relics of the Age of Gods exist because of this. Most gods died from exhaustion while sleeping, and even if they woke up, they died from the accelerated loss of power. Therefore, some gods chose to abandon their bodies like the Star Gods and attach their souls to holy objects. From what I know, the sword of Grame, the Throne of Light, seems to contain fragments of a god's soul, but Grame is not awake like the Star Gods.

Of course, all of what I have said is not the reason for the end of the Age of Gods - at the end of the Age of Gods, there were still many gods who chose not to sleep, and there were still a large number of people from the Age of Gods still living. The world's civilization did not disappear because of the slumber of some gods. The end of the Age of Gods happened suddenly, and no one knows why the Age of Gods ended. The once glorious civilization seemed to disappear overnight, leaving only these relics of the Age of Gods.

This is a question I've always been curious about. I didn't get the answer last time, but maybe this time... However... having lost so much power, it seems she doesn't have much time left."

Elsa also looked at the Star God, and the Star God's shadow leaned towards Tricia again, making a pitiful "gurgling" sound.

She was indeed too afraid of Elsa. She didn't even dare to go back to the Black Sword in front of Elsa. In comparison, Tricia, who was talkable, seemed much easier to get along with - although Tricia still gave her a very dangerous feeling, what else could she do?

"She said she didn't mean to harm the hero," Tricia looked at the Star God and Aisha strangely, sighed, and acted as a translator. "She knew Gramer, and she knew the hero too. The hero seemed to be a descendant of Gramer's followers and people, and that's why he inherited Gramer's power."

Elsa was a little surprised.

So, the heroes are actually the descendants of the survivors of the Age of Gods?

Tricia continued, "She awoke time and again over the course of countless years, only to force herself back to sleep again and again in an attempt to preserve her power. But this time, it seemed she had failed—her soul, deprived of its body, was on the verge of collapse. The relic's shell ultimately couldn't survive the passage of time, and her power began to drain uncontrollably."

This was consistent with what Tricia had observed - this was definitely not the first time the Star God had awakened. The canyon here was formed due to repeated space peeling, but why was the impact range limited to the canyon in the past, but this time it spread to the entire forest?

Perhaps, the Star God did it on purpose, but perhaps, the Star God could no longer control the overflow of his power.

"So she's set her sights on the bloodline of the remnants of the Age of Gods. She wants to seize Madeleine's body?"

"Rather than seizing, it's more like 'parasitism'—the risk of seizing is too great, and she despises the fragile human body, treating it as nothing more than a temporary vessel. What she truly values ​​is the hero's bloodline as a remnant of the Age of Gods."

"What do you mean?"

"Reincarnation," Tricia said, a glimmer flickering in her eyes. "She wants to shed her godhood, abandon her identity as a god, obtain a new body through pregnancy and birth, and cleanse the traces of her soul with the blood of the descendants of the Age of Gods, escaping the god's 'curse' and achieving rebirth. In this process, she will improve Madeleine's body."

That's why the Star God said he would not harm Madeleine.

But this kind of talk is too tricky, and neither Tricia nor Aisha will completely believe it.

"Gulu gulu..."

The Star God was mumbling something, and Elsa couldn't understand it. She just felt that the Star God's tone was very pitiful.

"She said she was tired of the endless waiting and didn't want to sleep anymore."

As Tricia was speaking, she suddenly paused and her expression became extremely strange.

She glanced at the Star God, then turned her gaze to Elsa, a hint of deep meaning in her eyes.

"She also said that she has changed her mind now... She said she would rather be your daughter..."

By the end of her speech, Tricia could hardly suppress the curve of her lips.

Elsa raised her eyebrows.

Okay, I take that back. How could the Star God be pitiful? She wasn't pitiful at all. She even deserved a beating.

……

429. Poverty Star God (4K5)

Elsa did not respond to the Star God's words "I want to be Elsa's daughter", but just sighed softly - the Star God was ancient, not even ancient, probably a wild god from ancient times and prehistoric civilization. Elsa just assumed that the Star God's values ​​were very different from now.

Would most people feel upset if a stranger from a different era said something annoying?

Of course not.

In fact, Elsa is not averse to the idea of ​​having children. It is because Elsa did not have this experience in her previous life. As a lesbian, Elsa and her girlfriends also had this wish, but the medicine in the previous life had not yet reached the point where the relevant technology was recognized for clinical use in terms of technology and ethics, so she could not help but have some regrets.

So, if there was a chance to have a daughter of her own, Elsa wouldn't necessarily resist.

But the problem is, what Elsa wants is her own flesh and blood, and Tricia's, or Vivian and Charlie's, not anyone else's, and certainly not a completely independent new life that is occupied by someone else's consciousness and born in a way that has nothing to do with love - what's the difference between that and directly adopting a child?

Besides, even if Aisha really wanted the Star God to enter her body, could the Star God do it? Could she enter?

She couldn't get in.

The Star God probably thought that Elsa's "God's Realm" was something controlled by Elsa herself, so he had such unrealistic ideas.

In fact, only Elsa and Tricia knew that Elsa could not control this ability very well now. It was only okay for external objects such as space rings and some magic devices. Elsa could touch them without damaging them. But once any magic tried to affect Elsa, Elsa would instinctively expel it - if the star god wanted to enter Elsa's body, he would most likely be reduced to ashes immediately.

Aisha looked at Tricia, who had a meaningful smile on her face, and said with a helpless smile.

"Tell her I don't want to be her mother."

Tricia didn't immediately tell the Star God what Elsa had said, but instead asked, "Elsa... don't you want to have your own child?"

"This can't even be considered a thing, right?"

"I see," Tricia said with a smile, "I understand."

As she spoke, Tricia turned her gaze towards the Star God. The Star God's expression could not be seen clearly on his shadow, but it gave people an inexplicable feeling that he was blinking his eyes and looked pitiful.

She wanted to be Elsa's daughter—the Star God seemed serious about it.

But unfortunately, neither Elsa nor Tricia would want this to happen.

"She said that she is willing to create a new life with me, but you can't, so give up your little idea."

Tricia spoke to the Star God seriously - of course, through her thoughts, so Elsa had no idea what Tricia said.

The Star God lowered his head and stammered.

"Gulu gulu gulu..."

It looked as if the Star God was completely exhausted.

The black energy in Madeleine's body continued to be extracted, and Tricia asked the Star God some more questions.

Soon, Tricia stopped asking questions with some regret.

"She has no people, and no one knows what happened after she fell asleep... According to her, she is a very reclusive deity. Most gods have made the same choice as her, with the exception of a few main gods - the goddess Sabrina is one of them. Only gods as powerful as the goddess can continue to exist in a depleted world."

Tricia sighed and said to Aisha.

She asked the Star God many questions, and the Star God had no intention of hiding anything, telling her everything he knew - being controlled by others, hiding things would only be a futile struggle.

"The only thing we can be sure of is that nothing had happened in the Age of Gods while the Star God was asleep. However, perhaps we should consider this from another perspective. The remnants of the Age of Gods haven't all disappeared, and this is something worth noting. The brave Madeleine is a descendant of the remnants of the Age of Gods. In a sense, perhaps we are all descendants of the remnants of the Age of Gods. I'm even wondering if the Saint is a descendant of the Goddess's followers.

But this still cannot explain why there is a sudden gap or discontinuity after the Age of Gods..."

As Tricia spoke, she began to talk to herself.

However, unfortunately, as the Star God herself said, what she knew was very limited, so the information she could give to Tricia for reference was also limited - in the Age of Gods, a wild god like her seemed to be just an insignificant character.

The Star God doesn't even have his own followers, and his only possessions are this small underground relic and a holy black sword.

Apart from that, there is really nothing.

Even compared with other ruins, it seems a bit barren, but the Star God is one of the few wild gods who has lived for so long.

The Star God continued to grumble pitifully. Tricia blinked, glanced at the ruins platform ahead, a slightly quizzical expression on her face, and continued, "The Star God said that not all gods have followers. For example, she has always been alone, and even built this temple herself... This contradicts our long-held belief that all gods should have followers."

The Star God's self-explanation might not be a lie.

Because the Star God didn't have much time and strength at this time, even lying would not do her any good - and the condition of the ruins was obvious to all. There was indeed nothing here, a bare, barren ruins, which might also confirm what the Star God herself said.

Elsa couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the Star God, but she didn't completely believe her just because of her one-sided words.

"From this perspective, she's quite pitiful—assuming everything she says is true."

Aisha thought for a moment and said.

"If that's the case, can I assume she's also a tool being used by those cultists?—She wants to use Madeleine's bloodline for reincarnation, so the cult designed to lead Madeleine here. But the question is, what are the cult's intentions?"

"Indeed, if the Star God's original goal was simply to find Madelena and reincarnate in her body, then perhaps it wouldn't be such a bad deal for Madelena—even if it were just a Wild God, the Star God's power would still allow Madelena to reach a new level of strength. Of course, the price would be quite high."

Tricia said, looking at Diouf and Serra.

"But, someone took advantage of this - then, I wonder if he expected the current situation?"

At this time, the light of the magic circle set up by Tricia gradually dimmed. The Star God noticed it and murmured a few times to Tricia, who nodded.

"Elsa, let's get Madeleine out first. She should be fine now. Although there's still a small amount of energy remaining in her body, it won't cause any real harm to her. All we have to do now is wait for her to wake up."

As she spoke, Tricia stretched out her hand, and the black sword bounced off the ground with a clang and fell into her hand, which she held tightly.

After confirming with the soldiers, Tricia sent everyone out of the ruins - leaving only the Grey Wind Swordsman Sera, the Esoteric Cultist Diouf, and the Star God.

"Just wait outside for now."

Tricia imprisoned Sera and Diouf and sent them to the entrance of the ruins above. Because of their special identities, Tricia did not hand them over directly to the empire.

After doing all this, Tricia slowly looked towards the Star God.

She and Elsa did not leave because the Star God was still here.

At this time, the Star God's shadow had become very faint, and it seemed that it had even merged with the surrounding air. The weaker the Star God's power became, the more she could not control the loss of her power. It seemed that if she left the Star God alone, it would not take long for the Star God to completely disappear.

"Gulu gulu..."

The Star God made a weak sound. At this moment, she had completely accepted her fate - she could not use Madeleine to reincarnate, and Elsa also rejected her. This meant that she needed to find a suitable mother body again to fulfill her original wish. However, her strength was almost gone. Not to mention whether she could find a suitable mother body within a limited time, even if she could find one, could she really complete the reincarnation ceremony?

The shadow of the Star God stood there motionless, no longer speaking.

Tricia stared at her for a moment, then looked at Elsa. After a moment's hesitation, she suddenly asked, "Elsa, I want to save her. If possible, she might become a breakthrough for us to understand the Age of Gods. She's a desolate god, and she probably still holds many secrets of the Age of Gods. Perhaps, her presence will be a great aid to us in our future exploration of the ruins of the Age of Gods."

After the words fell, Aisha fell silent. She pursed her lips and her eyes became extremely complicated.

Tricia watched with great interest - Elsa rarely showed such an embarrassed or even somewhat awkward expression, which was completely different from Elsa who was always elegant, handsome, steady and reliable. This made Tricia feel for a moment... cute?

I always feel that using this adjective to describe Elsa will make Tricia feel guilty.

"Tricia is saying..." Aisha asked uncertainly, raising her eyelashes hesitantly, "...for me to agree to her request and give birth to her?"

"How is it possible? What are you thinking, Aisha? How could I let Aisha do such a thing——"

Tricia laughed and waved her hands quickly.

Although she said this, Tricia's mind was unconsciously full of thoughts - of course, just thoughts.

"Oh, all right."

Elsa breathed a sigh of relief.

If Tricia really asked her that, Aisha honestly didn't know how to respond.

Tricia didn't want Elsa to misunderstand her. She carefully observed Elsa's rare expression and explained with a smile, "I mean, I want to find something for the Star Goddess to sustain her existence, a power that has long since completely disappeared."

"The power of God?"

"You could say that the existence of gods requires a special kind of energy. I've never seen it, but perhaps it's something similar. I've always believed that such things may have long ceased to exist in this world. I also always believed that no true 'gods' were born after the Age of Gods. Even saints and demon kings were only 'false gods'. But now I've changed my mind. Perhaps the answer to all this has already come to me - Elsa, if you possess the 'realm of God', then can I consider you the 'god' itself?"
