Chapter 35: Splitting

"Huh?" Not only was Shuer stunned, but even Moria, who was close to Minnie's body, was visibly stiff for a moment, and it was obvious that even she was surprised by this answer.

The lost deity is the goddess of the forest, Anika herself? But...... Shul thought about it seriously, and seemed to think about it more and more, and the more he felt that this answer was not so difficult to accept.

If you think about it, entering the Great Rift with your own body was an extremely dangerous act thousands of years ago, and in order to have sufficient self-protection ability, it seems reasonable for Anika, the most powerful and most vigorous forest goddess in the plant god system, to come forward in person.

Moreover, regardless of whether Anika's character is bad or not, she is the leader of the plant god line after all, and all the gods of the plant line regard her as the leader, in this case, with her responsibility as the leader, it is obviously not something she can do to let the attached gods risk falling to perform such a difficult task, but it is more in line with her character to come forward in person.

And the most critical point, there is no eternal secret in the world, if other gods enter the big rift, even if the secrecy measures are done well, it will inevitably not be revealed, but until now no one can be sure which god is lost, probably because she is the only one who knows about this and has not told any gods, so as to achieve the current secrecy effect.

The question is...... If she was really lost, who was she in front of her now? Xiuer looked at Moriah with an inquiring gaze, obviously asking, do you Lin Jing clan have this ability? Unfortunately, Lin Jing was biting his fingernails blankly as always, and the answer seemed to be obvious.

"Don't read it, since I gave you an answer, I will definitely explain it in detail. Anika interrupted Shure and Moria's eyebrows, and her voice suddenly became very strange, as if a resonance had formed in Shure's perception, "Luna, I know that your will has come in with him, if Shure completes his mission, everything will naturally be fine, but if his mission is not completed, and there is a third god who knows the truth, that is the day when the plant god system will go to war with your Dark Moon family or even the entire sky god system head-on." ”

"Lord Anika. It wasn't Luna who responded to Anika, but Shure herself, who raised an eyebrow and squinted his eyes, "You're threatening my lord?"

"No, I'm just stating the facts, because of this truth, in the entire Twisted Void, now only Luna, you and I know, if you two fail, there will be no chance to leak it, so if it is known by other gods, the source of the leak will only be Luna, and at that time, war is the inevitable result, there is no second choice. ”

Xiu'er's face sank, and in front of the most powerful god of the plant god system, his waist became straighter and straighter, but just when he was about to open his mouth with a cold face, he was suddenly stunned, as if he was listening to something, and as he heard something, his expression became more and more relaxed, and finally turned into an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, Lady Anika, but I was rude. Xiuer sighed and stroked his chest and bowed deeply, "Excuse me, did you use the method of tearing apart your divine body to cause the current effect?"

"Yes. Shure could feel that Anika's gaze was not from Minnie, the archbishop, but directly from the position of the icon, indicating that she was directly penetrating the space and looking at herself as her body. After being stared at by Anika for a long time, she heard the forest goddess reply, "Luna guessed right, that's what I did, although the forest spirits are my heirs, but what they can't do doesn't mean I can't do it." ”

That's right, everything makes sense.

Hearing that Luna was threatened, Shure wanted to return the favor immediately, but if the gods were humiliated and the servants turned a blind eye, then he was not qualified to be a priest. However, Luna stops him in time and tells him the truth.

Anika is a divine creature canonized as a god, and Luna Surkaia is completely different from the gods of these entities, as a divine creature Anika itself has been sleeping forever in an unknown corner of the world, and as a deity, Anika is a collection of the concept of the forest, she has no ontology in the substantive sense, the so-called ontology, in fact, refers to the divine body formed when she was a god.

Her divine body retains the appearance of a divine being, and is in fact the oldest forest spirit, which is why she says that the forest spirit is her heir, and the forest spirit also regards her as a mother. Like the forest spirits, Anika's divine body actually has three forms, tree form, deer form, and humanoid form, Anika also likes to appear in deer form, and other gods have long been accustomed to such Anika, so no god has ever realized that for more than a thousand years, Anika has never appeared in the other two forms.

Not once.

Therefore, Luna speculated that it was very likely that Anika used the properties of her part of the plant to tear herself in half, and then assigned the concept of the other two images to the other half, and the other half entered the Great Rift to explore, while the deer form half remained in Pavatiga, which could serve as both a coordinate for the return and a receptive message. However, the attempt failed, and the other half somehow got lost in the depths of the rift, so that Anika could only remain in an incomplete state in her deer form until now.

It sounds like it's just a little magical, and it doesn't seem to be anything special, but Luna tells Shul that tearing herself apart is not that simple, although it won't produce two Anika and two forest goddesses, but the power will be torn along with the body, and the addition of giving the torn body the other two images is equivalent to losing two-thirds of its power. If the two can be reunited, it shouldn't have much impact, but until then, Anika's strength may not even reach one-tenth of what it was in its heyday.

"Don't guess. Anika rolled her eyes in Minnie's image, "To be on the safe side, I tore out most of my body, and now it's not even one-fiftieth of what it used to be." ”

That's weird, no wonder, Shuer sighed secretly, no wonder Anika kept this secret to the death, not only did no one know about the gods within the plant god system, but even entrusted him to find it, he didn't tell the truth until now, now it's completely understandable, Shuer asked himself, if it were him, he would do the same.

After all, there is less than one-fiftieth of the strength left, and tearing the body may cause other effects, and now Anika may not even be able to compare with some of the more powerful gods, and most of the main gods can easily defeat or even kill her, so to speak, this is her most vulnerable time, in order to avoid someone with bad intentions, in order to hide this secret for thousands of years, she has to live in seclusion on the one hand, try to avoid direct meetings with other gods, on the other hand, in order not to arouse suspicion, but also try to behave normally as if nothing happened, and even use the power of faith from time to time to temporarily forcibly stimulate her own strength, pretending to be strong in front of people, this thousand years, she is afraid that she will have a very difficult time.

However, this time, she still revealed the truth even though she was watching Luna, which was enough to explain her attitude towards Luna, and with this trust, there was nothing unacceptable about the threats and warnings behind.

"That...... Lady Anika, should I apologize on behalf of my lord?"

"No, it's not your fault. Although Shul's question was inexplicable, Anika understood, "It was I who despised the Great Rift, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

"But if we hadn't hidden that big rift...... Shure said with a wry smile, "Lord Anika might have received a message from her partner all these years. ”

"The odds are so low, it's almost impossible. Anika shook her head, "That's why I said it has nothing to do with you." ”

Although Anika said this, Shul knew very well that it would never be as easy as she said.

After the other half of Anika was lost in the depths of the rift, both sides must be seeking a way back, and Luna's behavior of hiding the big rift was only more than a hundred years different from Anika's loss, if she didn't hide the big rift so well, and isolated the inside and outside from the airtight, the other half inside the rift might have a chance to sense the breath from Pavatiga, and then follow this line to find the way back. However, Luna used her body to seal the Great Rift to death, which was considered to completely cut off the possibility of the other half finding the direction again, although even Anika couldn't say that it was Luna's fault, but from the perspective of the Darkmoon Church, it was inevitable that she would still be a little embarrassed.

"I'm not stupid enough to understand that. The goddess of the forest said angrily, "If you keep that big chasm, you must block it, and if you don't block it, it will be impossible to keep it, so no matter what, my other half will not be able to return in this way." ”

"Well, it's great that you can think so. Shur sighed and said, "Rest assured, my lord has sworn by his finger that he will never divulge your situation without your consent. ”

"I can trust you. Anika nodded, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you the truth." ”

"Since you can trust us, I wish I could know more. Shul instinctively lowered his voice, "What is the state of your half now?"

"I don't know. ”

"Huh?"

"Need to be so surprised?" Anika asked dissatisfied, glaring at Shure, "I don't know, I don't know, what's strange." ”

"No, it's weird already. Xiu'er didn't dare to say this, he could only think about it in his heart, but his mouth was tentatively asking, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of not knowing the condition of the other half, are you really sure that the other half still exists?"
