You are all my wings!

"It's hard to say exactly what will happen right now; we'll see how things develop. As for now, we have two things to do."

Lyon said:

"First, go back and stay for a while, wait for things to calm down, and during this time try to accumulate material magic foundation to prepare for seizing the [Material Singularity] forbidden zone."

"Secondly, we need to find out M'shiruna's backup plan. This suggests that she may have already given it to us. What we need to do next is to recall every word she said to us and think about whether there are any hidden meanings or cryptic messages in her words."

Astalia agreed, and said thoughtfully, "Could this backup plan be related to the Spirit Abyss and the Lord of the Calamity Domain?"

"It's possible, because M'shiluna repeatedly told me not to approach them, but thinking about it carefully, it could also be the opposite of what she meant."

Lyon pondered for a moment.

The Lord of Lingyuan, Youhe Weizhi, is suspected to be a future dark elf. She is his fake older sister and he has had intimate relations with her several times, but they have not yet had sex.

Angelo, the lord of the Disaster Zone, has the exact same name as the first female protagonist in the future "Sword, Magic and Holy Land 4", so it is entirely possible that she is the one.

In addition, he also has an Odette by his side, who will also attract the resurrected Lord of the Frozen Prison, Olahande, eight years later.

Although we have an idea, figuring out how to do it is a big problem.

During their discussion, their eyes met without them realizing it, and they couldn't help but exchange glances.

a long time.

The two put on their clothes.

Astalia embraced Lyon, her pale face as delicate as water, and sighed softly, "I wonder how long these good days can last."

She thought of M'shiruna again; without her crucial advice, she would have already fallen into a trap.

For example, avoid inhaling the Origin Aura, and do not attack when the Origin Goddess's phantom appears.

These two key suggestions prevented her from being directly suppressed and taken away by the Goddess of Origin.

Leon hugged her tighter and whispered, "No matter what the future holds, I'm never letting you go from now on."

She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I'll have to make the most of every day from now on with you."

[Goddess Astalia's favorability +2%, current favorability 119%]

……

Upon returning to the Holy Land, Leon began reviewing the mission information on his panel.

[Goddess Astalia's personal side quest "The Path to Godhood" completion increased by 50%, currently at 100%, rewards are ready to be claimed]

[Quest Rewards: Divine Energy Capacity +50, Spiritual Power +50, Magic Power +50, Stamina +50, Strength +50, Agility +50; Learn the Divine Civilization System Mystery: Destiny]

【主要属性：窥命力264/神圣能量容纳量272/精神力495/生命力322/魔力量984/体力601/力量528/敏捷573】

This was his first time completing a sacred-level mission, and the reward was indeed exceptionally generous.

His magic power has almost reached the level of a senior tenth rank, his stamina has reached ten times that of the sixth rank, and his strength and agility have reached nine times that of the sixth rank. Considering only the strength and agility attributes and not his physique, he is already very close to the level of an apostle.

In addition, I also learned a rather profound mystery: destiny.

This mystery is considerably more difficult than ordinary elemental mysteries, roughly equivalent to a mid-range elemental + time-based mystery, second only to the three top-tier time-based mysteries that Aurahande taught her.

Its core function is to make certain events a predetermined outcome, which is called destiny.

This mystery is quite similar to his Truth Spacetime Anchoring Technique, which can produce a very good enhancement effect when he activates this magic.

In addition, due to the activation of the Divine Wisdom Mode and the superposition of the thirteen modes, he has gradually grasped about 40-50% of the second mystery of the ninth-order magic, Frosty Moon Flowing Light. He estimates that he will soon have the opportunity to advance, because the other three types of magic have basically no major bottlenecks under the blessing of these modes.

Back in the Holy Land, Astalia briefly mentioned it to everyone, without going into details, implying that she was treating the matter lightly.

In the Holy Land, the eleventh rank is already a top-tier figure. Apart from a few elders like Britta, no one questioned Astalia's statement.

And so, two peaceful months passed in the blink of an eye.

……

Early that morning, inside Astalia's temple.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, falling onto the swaying edge of the bed and creating soft dappled patterns of light.

Two incredibly beautiful and fit bodies slowly separated in the dappled sunlight, then lay side by side.

"I have a bad feeling."

Astalia lay in bed, her head resting on Leon's arm, and suddenly spoke.

"what happened?"

"A powerful being has awakened, and its malice is aimed directly at me, which makes me feel a little nauseous from afar."

Astalia said.

Lyon's expression hardened. Only the Lord of the Forbidden Zone could make even a thirteenth-level True God feel such dread.

For the past two months, he has spent his days with Astalia, performing divination, practicing magical combat skills, and searching for clues and information related to M'shiruna.

During this period, I gained a lot. I have learned the ninth-order magic of the other three systems. I am only one step away from fully comprehending the last secret of the Frost Moon Flowing Light Magic, [Glimmer].

【Micro-light】This mystery seems simple, but it is actually quite complex. Its core function is to freely manipulate light particles below the nanoscale and the microscopic time contained within the light particles.

It is also the most difficult of the three great mysteries.

As for combat skills, due to a lack of inheritance, Leon needs to practice and deduce while training his ninth-tier Shadow skills, and this time his progress is slower than his magic skills.

The advantage was that, by combining this with the Shadow-type God-level treasure that Astalia had given him, he was able to comprehend the Shadow-type mysteries [Traceless] and [Obliterate].

Although they are all just ordinary-level mysteries, the fact that they can be consistently mastered is quite good.

The essence of the illusory and the real was also revealed during this period when they occasionally tricked Astalia, Anemie, Serkashuki, Jiajiali, and others, bringing the stock back to 250 copies, which is commendable.

"Can you recognize who that hostile entity is?"

"Leon asked."

Astalia pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say; it could be any of the lords of the forbidden zone."

Lyon thought to himself that this hostility might be due to the [Material Singularity].

There is a certain relationship of mutual generation and restraint between the powers between forbidden zones. Those that will conflict with the [Material Singularity] may be either the opposing [Conceptual Despair] or the complementary [Spiritual Abyss].

Just then, Leon noticed that Astalia's expression suddenly changed, as if she had frozen in place.

Then, light descended from above her head and poured in, and her expression quickly became distant and ethereal, completely different from Astalia's habitual gentle smile.

This expression... is the Goddess of Origin about to manifest herself in Astalia?

As Leon was filled with astonishment, he suddenly realized something terrifying.

That means he had just finished an event with Astalia.

She hadn't put her clothes back on yet.

Why would the Goddess of Origin manifest in such a state?

Did 'she' check Astalia's condition before manifesting?

Or perhaps Astalia blocked something out, and because her remote observation was somewhat blurry, she didn't notice it?

Leon tried to pull his hand away from Astalia's pillow, but found that 'she' had already manifested, turned her head, and looked at him with a pair of meaningful, pale eyes.

Chapter 497 Britta: You seem familiar

She seemed quite interested, her eyes flashing as she scanned Leon's exposed body.

Lyon couldn't help but wonder if 'she,' as the most powerful supreme god, possessed the basic reproductive desires of intelligent beings.

Although I had slept with Aurahande before, that was influenced by Kekketi, so it's not very relevant.

As I was pondering, 'she' spoke, a half-smile playing on her lips:

"Of course I also have this basic function."

Lyon felt a chill run down his spine. Had 'she' seen right through his thoughts?

I immediately activated the purification and descaling modes.

“Your Majesty is too kind. I have no intention of blasphemy. I am simply amazed by the profound and wondrous nature of the way of life.”

"Indeed, your mind became much purer in an instant, but some distracting thoughts still remain."

She praised with a smile, her voice still melodious, like the sound of strings in the sky.

It seems that even with the enhancement of purification and immaculate modes, a super strong person like 'her' can still see through many deeply hidden subtle distractions.

Just as an environment that appears absolutely clean to the naked eye can be seen by a deity as containing many germs.

"I wonder what brings Your Majesty here this time?"

Lyon tried his best to remain free of any distracting thoughts when asking questions.

"Can't manifestation occur without a purpose?"

She actually said something that was completely different from her public persona.

This kind of habitual rhetorical question shouldn't be a common way of communicating between acquaintances.

“I have heard that His Highness has manifested only three or four times recently, and each time something significant happened.”

Lyon said.

"You are my subordinate, so it's necessary to give you some encouragement."

Her smile faded slightly, her expression returning to its initial serene and ethereal quality, and she said softly:

"Now that you've formed such a relationship with Astalia, don't just sit idle. Go and pair up with Anemi and Gagari as soon as possible, and help them unlock their potential."

Lyon frowned. Hmm?

So this person has come all this way just to try and win over Anemi and Gagari?

Is that all?

It's not surprising that 'she' knows she has this talent, as 'she' has witnessed most of the process of her being with Astalia.

However, her previous manifestations in different bodies occurred in three instances: first, when Anemi was born, she bestowed the blessing of the goddess of beauty; second, when the sacred tree grew to a height that was about to reach the sky, she added power to it; and third, shortly after Astalia was born.

Fourth, he divined his own future and perceived Jiajiali's destiny, and 'she' manifested to bestow upon him the Origin Mantra.

Hmm, now that I think about it, it seems that things related to one's own manifestation are relatively unimportant?

"The deadline is three months; it must be completed."

"Your Majesty, may I ask why you have assigned me such a strange task..."

Lyon mustered his courage and asked.

Upon hearing this, 'she' frowned slightly.

Despite it being just a slight frown, an immense aura emanated from him, causing Leon's body to sink so deeply that he almost sank into the bed.

She glanced sideways at Leon's long, slender arm that was resting on her head, then calmly sat up and gently waved her hand, causing Astalia's clothes, which had been scattered around, to fall back onto her.

To cover Astalia's beautiful, naked body, which resembled a small white fish.

For some reason, Leon felt that there was an extremely subtle twitch in the corner of her eye when 'she' made this movement. He was not sure if he was speechless at the fact that Astalia was now unrestrained despite her previous tranquility, or at the fact that her manifested body was so lacking in dignity.

"If you do not complete it on time, I will punish you accordingly."

She said it casually:

"But if you can complete it on time, after the end of the era, I may spare Astalia's life, only extracting her divine blood and laws."

Leon's heart tightened slightly. Did 'she' need those pure elemental spirits to become as strong as possible before the apocalypse, so that it would be easier to resolve the apocalypse?

However, now that Astalia is being used as 'her' incarnation, the Church's method of reuniting the body and soul may not necessarily succeed again in the future.

"Also, don't leave the Holy Land anytime soon, I'll be looking for you."

After leaving those words, 'she' departed.

Astalia fainted, and Leon reached out and caught her.

He had assumed that her manifestation this time would be related to the malice of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone that Astalia sensed, but it turned out that she hadn't mentioned it at all.

'She might contact me anytime. Does she really have nothing better to do than keep an eye on me all day?'

The moment that thought flashed through his mind, Leon suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
