Damn it...... This was originally my divine domain, Bray, an ungrateful bastard, if it weren't for my care and favor, in the era when he was born, let alone being a god, he wouldn't even be qualified to become a ** teacher.

"And you!"

Thinking of betrayal, Lorelei turns her gaze to the person she hates the most, Link.

"My arrival has not changed your fate, it has only hastened your demise, Lorelei. In the face of the hatred that seemed to be substantial, Link was very calm, and there was no embarrassment and restraint in the Hall of Mirrors. Informing Bray that the Goddess of Magic has been eroded is the only thing he can do in his journey back in time, after all, Lorelei has been eroded for too long to be saved, and the only solution is to let her fall before she causes more disasters. And for the future that is already established, his actions are not 'change'.

This is also a temptation for Link, groping for the bottom line of the column.

It is true that Zhu had stated that history could not be changed, but he neither intervened nor warned him about the goddess he designed for the future destined to fall. This also reassured Link that he had a rough idea of where the boundary between 'can't be' and 'can't' was. As long as the fate is not fundamentally changed, small movements, the column is allowed.

"If it weren't for your extraneous branches, I would have been able to carry the ...... by absorbing faith"

Before Lorelei could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Link.

"I'm no longer the rookie who just arrived in Edgar, and you're trying to fool me?"

"You-"

"I already have a general understanding of Edgar's system of gods, and there is only two ways to completely eradicate the corrosion caused by the pillar of water, which is the ancestor of 'magic', or to break away from the godhead and return to ordinary beings. Either...... As you are now, turn away from your faith and seek the blessings of other high gods. ”

Anger drained from Lorelei's face, and her eyes darkened, staring at Link.

"From the moment the past returned to the present, I made a brief connection with the Pillar of Earth, and learned from it some unspeakable secrets. You have received my last condensed body, the appearance of Diamos at the Hall of Mirrors, and the signs of bewitching Finn are enough to show that you did not fall under the command of the Demon God, and after realizing that you can no longer be purified, you made up your mind to change your faith, am I right? You said from the beginning that you would take its place and take the shell that had been condensed by the pillar's divine power. This is probably the only truth you have told during your disguise. ”

Even Bray, who knew the inside story, couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, he only realized that Lorelei's fall had another inside story after Finn was eroded, but he didn't expect Link to figure out the reason so quickly, and saw the truth through the divine power of the pillars...... It was guessed by a half-star clue, if it was the latter...... This kid is even smarter than he appears.

Like that little ghost, I just don't want to disappear. Seeing that it was exposed, Lorelei did not justify his actions.

As a deity that is beyond ordinary living beings, after death, it does not return to the flow of life, but completely dies, and there is no chance of rebirth, which is the necessary price to gain power, and it is also the fate that every god tries to avoid.

Seeing Lorelei's confession, Link also poured out the words that had been in his heart for a long time.

"There may not be anything wrong with your absorption of believers to the native people of Edgar, but it seems to me that your forcible deprivation of the power and life of the faithful is no different from Hicks harvesting the living. ”

"Oh...... Does the apostle of the pillar want to sanction me?" Lorelei sneered, her godhead was already crippled, and her mental power was not as good as Link's, but if she wanted to do it directly to her as a god, she couldn't do it with the apostle alone, especially since she now believed in a high god - Adamos, who would never be much worse than the pillar in terms of strength, as long as that one didn't abandon her, Link, as a child of nature, would never want to cross the gap in power.

"Indeed, as a child of nature, I naturally have no right to act directly with the gods, but—don't forget, I have the privileges given by the pillars!" Link stretched out his hand and pointed to the Nemesis spirit who was staring at him, "I declare in the name of the apostle of the pillar that Lorelai, the goddess of vengeance, has broken her covenant to fight against death together, and has carried out bewitchment on the apostles of Bray, the god of wisdom, with the intention of seizing her body. As the overseer and enforcer of the covenant against the undead, he is removed from the covenant, and from now on, he is no longer allowed to serve as an envoy of the covenant, nor is he allowed to participate in any matter related to the covenant. ”

"What?" Lorelei was startled at first, then laughed: "Hahaha...... Who do you think you are, declare?"

"You're watching, Demos. Link ignored Lorelei's taunt, and his overly calm tone made Bray on the side nervous.

"Hey...... You'd better not summon a demon god in your own mental space, although the pillar is an initial god, but now it is greatly weakened......"

A long series of muffled smirks interrupted Bray's admonition, and the shadow cast by Lorelei began to distort and change, eventually turning Huawei into a demon dragon with eight heads.

[The more I come into contact with you, the more interesting I find you as a mortal, and it's hard to believe that it will come from those old-fashioned people.] I can give you all the privileges, including challenging my authority, as long as you have the ability to defeat me. Several of Diamos's heads spoke together, echoing one after another, each striking at Link's mental barrier.

"Link ......" Bray was banished from Link's spiritual world as soon as he spoke, along with Finn, who he had just officially adopted as a believer.

It wasn't until he returned to reality that Bray realized how vulnerable his power was in front of the Old Gods. It was still in Link's mental space, if Diammoth really came out of the abyss and came to the surface......

"Link, he's going to be fine......" Finn whispered uneasily.

[I don't know.] This time, Bray really didn't know. In terms of divine power and godhead, as a third-generation god who had just been promoted and was not many years old, he was not much stronger than the son of nature who had obtained all the authority of the pillar. Fortunately, Link has the shelter of the pillar, and it should ...... It's going to be fine.

This is the third time Link has faced Diahoms, and the more power he gains, the more he can feel how strong the power of the dragon is. If the first time he was simply suppressed by the coercion of the right and feared, then now, after obtaining all the authority of the Child of Nature, the bottomless majestic power of Diahoms like an abyss has given him the fear that can only be found in the face of the pillar. In terms of strength alone, Diahoms is definitely above Hicks, if it weren't for the restrictions of the first generations, I'm afraid that the demons who are poisoning the material world now should be the demons led by the demon gods......

[How do you think about it?]

Faced with the magic dragon's recruitment, Link refused without thinking about it. At all times, he kept in mind one thing - everything he had obtained in Edgar was obtained under the premise of the apostle of the pillar, and without the pillar, he was nothing. The conditions offered by the demon god are very tempting, but without the support of the pillar, he is just an ordinary mortal, so he will not think of things beyond his ability. This is the reason why Link keeps his heart and resists temptation after temptation.

Diamos was not surprised by Link's refusal, and even understood his inner thoughts at the moment, staring at Link with interest like the eyes of hellfire, and did not give up the persuasion.

"What I fancy is not a shallow external force, you have the potential to become a god. And...... What will it be like to be as desireless as you are, and if you fall, will it be as tyrannical as my split part, or as deceitful as Malik, or more nihilistic than Hicks......"

Diamos's wild laughter shook Link's mental world to the brink of collapse, and while he was on guard, he was also puzzled. Last time, Diammoth was also a spirit body, but it was far less powerful. This...... No, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds compared to the last time, and he can be regarded as a quasi-god, but his resistance to the demon dragon is not as easy as the last meeting. Is it because of more integration with Edgar? or ...... What else is it?

[Naturally, it's the former.] The absolute power suppression made it easy for the demon dragon to read Link's thoughts: [Although the talent of the Weaver of Life can resist the foreknowledge of the gods, but every time you use the power of the pillar, you will bind yourself more firmly to this world, think about the fact that you couldn't even exert one-ten-thousandth of the power when you first arrived, how can you do it now? You claim to be an atheist, but what difference does your behavior have from that of a devout believer? I have not even hesitated in the face of the temptation of the law of cause and effect, which not even the spokesmen of the Dawn Earth can do. 】

Neham?

Link's first thought was of the former Knight Chief, who had been promoted to the new Grand Priest of Dawn, and then denied this assumption.

Now that Dawn has been expelled, the Dawn Sect is not of much value to humans or other species, and Diahomus can't look down on it at all, the only possibility is the former high priest who just died, or...... It's Julian, who has fallen into the undead......

[Tricking the followers of Dawn is my favorite thing to do, not only to pass the boring leisure time, but also to amuse Elias like thunder. Ah......h

The dragon's voice suddenly lowered, and Link suddenly remembered what Vlajd, who had split off from Diamos, had said that expelling the dawn was something that Diaamos had been thinking about for a long time and had not been able to complete.

I am not as merciful to the enemy as Dawn, giving you a chance to grow enough to fight yourself. The rising black flames licked every inch of the space it touched, and Link felt as if his soul was burning with it.

"Do it if you can, don't let yourself regret it, Diamos. With all the power he had, Link was convinced that the dragon would not be able to kill himself who had been blessed by the pillars, and that the barrier was still safe, proving that Diamos was still subject to the abyss, the cage that the first generations had worked together to create. If it has the ability to get out of trouble, why should it sneak into its own spiritual world, it will not agree to make a covenant against death at all.

[Hahahahaha-I love you, mortal. You don't have the guts to read your mind, but you are still so arrogant that you show your thoughts without knowing it. You're more fun than that boring guy at Hicks. It is also more in line with ...... Prophecy of the Doomsday Terminator. But this is not enough, the current you are not enough to fight Hicks, and even more so to fight against the ancestors who were expelled to the **** continent by the first generation in the primeval period. If you want to be a savior, you have to improve your own strength, but ...... That has transcended the boundaries of the children of nature, mortal, and I look forward to your transformation, whether to continue to be a pillar apostle who follows the rules, or to fall into the order of becoming stronger, like Hicks. 】

The black demonic flame disappeared abruptly, as abruptly as the arrival of the master. Link's spiritual world couldn't withstand the huge power of the demon god and fell apart, separated by an unbridgeable chasm, Lorelei looked coldly at Link who was getting farther and farther away, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a hairy sneer.

"The strength of the child of nature is only relative to the mortal creatures, once you cross the boundary of the gods, your little power is just a blunt sword subject to the law, you can't protect anyone, including yourself, wait and see, I will make you pay sooner or later!"

Faced with the former goddess of magic, who once lived in his soul and was treated like a mentor, Link impatiently threw out a noise.

If there is still a little guilt and thoughts about helping her recover from the previous Lorelai, after learning her true thoughts, Link has no tolerance for this completely depraved Lorelai.

The rapidly crumbling spiritual world cut off the Nemesis' scolding, and Link opened his eyes in the world of the living, and saw Finn circling around him, and Bud the Sage, who was half-kneeling on his side. Seeing him wake up, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, you're finally awake. Finn tugged at Link's sleeve, a scene that overlapped Link's memories of arriving in Edgar. At that time, the young man was pulling his cuffs as he is now, his face full of joy, and the concern in his eyes was real rather than hypocritical.

Alas......

Sigh softly.

The year passed so quickly that everyone he met made a choice.

Finn, Gonzalez, Alex, Lorelei, Doyle, Vera, Orlando, Iris, Hull, Neham, Francesca, Julian......

Each name tingled Link's heart, and he looked at his empty hands, and then thought about what Diamoth said before leaving, and in Finn's puzzled face, he turned into a falcon and flew away from the mage city of Hohenheim.

"Don't go, I still have a lot to say to you. After the knot was untied, Finn, who had not yet fully grown up, completely ignored his current identity with Link, and insisted on retaining him.

"Be careful, oracle. Link is now the apostle of the pillar, and you, the messenger of the God of wisdom of my Lord, no matter what your relationship was before, you can no longer be the same as before, after all, you and he now represent the gods of our respective faiths. Badra stopped Finn, who was trying to catch up with Link, with just the right amount of force not to offend him and to stop him in time.

"Oh......" Finn's expression darkened as he recalled what Link had said in the mental space, "Yes...... I see, thank you for the reminder, Lord Sage. ”

"Call me by name immediately, I am a believer in the God of Wisdom, and you are his earthly spokesman, and you cannot afford to be an adult. Bard let go and bowed to Finn.

At this moment, Finn truly realized the change brought about by the position of God's envoy. It is not only the face and back that bows down, but also everything that ordinary people have is far away from him. honored, but no one will ever smile again, call his name with sincerity, share feelings, talk about the world, and talk about family life. He is Bray's apostle, the spokesman of the God of Wisdom on earth, and will remain in this capacity until death.
