Chapter 182 Another Star God
The divine domain of ice shrouded the surroundings, and Ig looked up. This was where the Frost God descended, and the power of frost and ice converged, with countless laws fluctuating and lingering, time and space frozen, something even Ander Dun struggled to break.
Ig prepared to tear apart space and teleport Verafia away using Ander Dun’s power the moment the Frost God descended, when all the laws of ice were absorbed.
The young man clenched the End, ignoring the angry voice of the girl behind him. Within his body, the power of the Death Divine Spark flowed continuously into his limbs.
However, under the shroud of the starry sky and frost, Alcloreia let out a laugh.
The ice-blue luster reflected on the black knight armor. He looked at the black-haired young man and said, “You are not wrong. The Frost God, or rather, Disax, is indeed incomplete. Descending here, He wishes to complete Himself.”
“The Heart of Frost… this is the condensation of the laws of ice. Obtaining it will only create a pure God of Ice, but not Him, His remnants as a Star God. This is indeed not Disax’s purpose for descending.”
The words spoken by the other party did not exceed Ig’s imagination.
“But why do you say that Disax wants the girl behind you?”
Could it be that the descending Frost Deity was not here for the Young Lady, not to seize her divine spark and power?
Not only Ig, but even Verafia, whom he had enveloped in a magic barrier, banging her little fists on the glass-like curtain and shouting angrily, couldn’t help but freeze. Her delicate eyelashes were wet, her golden eyes slightly widened, and she looked up in disbelief.
She had a hunch earlier. But knowing that the other party’s goal was not the heart of ice in her hand, the only remaining possibility was herself.
But Alcloreia suddenly said that the Frost God’s intention was not her?
“Your Highness Goddess… indeed, with your noble status, and the divine status of flame, no deity would covet you.”
“But, precisely because you are the Goddess of Flame, even without divine power, merely disguised by laws, who can accurately find you—even the current Frost God, who only possesses part of Disax’s origin, finds it difficult.”
Verafia’s small hand rested on the magical curtain and slowly slid down. Her golden eyes trembled.
Yes, this, Verafia had discussed with Ig before.
The heart of ice was sealed by Cassleit. Verafia had also paid attention to herself and others, ensuring they were not tainted by any mark, but why was she still found by Alcloreia?
Or, was it something she had overlooked…?
“Alcloreia, what are you talking about!”
Ig suddenly shouted.
The Dark Knight’s gaze swept over them. “I said, the God of Frost Calamity who descended before you is Disax, who fell twenty years ago… He is incomplete due to the Sacred Sword. How can even the divine spark of a goddess make him whole?”
“The one who can complete Him can naturally only be an existence of the same Starry Sky God.”
Starry Sky God?
Ig’s pupils narrowed slightly. He suddenly felt that he was on the verge of touching the truth.
“Do you know if the Starry Sky God who descended into this world back then was not just Disax alone? And when He fought Lancaster, it was due to betrayal that He fell.”
Ig remembered the black-robed witch who was once beside Lancaster. She had disguised herself as Kaina, but she was the Star God who wove the net of destiny… Twenty years ago, with her help, Lancaster was able to defeat Disax.
And similarly, half a year ago, on the night of Lichen, it was also this Star God of destiny who betrayed the King of the Sacred Sword.
“However, in that war, it was not only ‘destiny’ that betrayed, nor only ‘destruction’ that fell.”
“You mean—”
Could it be that the Starry Sky Gods who came to this world were not just the two of them?
“Twenty years ago, in pursuit of eternity, three prime Starry Sky Gods came to this world.”
“Among them, the most powerful was Disax, the master of ‘destruction’ and also the closest to eternity. However, after arriving in this world, his companions, for their own desires, united with Lancaster, who possessed the Sacred Sword, and cast Disax down from the starry sky.”
Alcloreia did not even pay attention to the descending frost, but simply recounted it calmly.
“Who is the Star God who betrayed, besides Kaina, and who fell?” Ig asked, looking up.
The Knight replied, “Rieloti.”
With a forceful pull, Verafia’s little face, pressed close to the curtain, turned somewhat pale. Alcloreia had only spoken a name… she seemed to sense something, and raised her face, asking loudly,
“Rieloti… what is he?”
“He is ‘Truth’.”
Alcloreia said flatly.
It was as if a heavy hammer struck her chest. Almost unable to breathe, Verafia’s expression became flustered. She instinctively moved, seeing the young man in the distance tremble heavily as he gripped his sword.
The Starry Sky God whose true name was “Truth”… Verafia intuitively thought of her young man, who possessed the “True Eye” that even she couldn’t quite see through.
“In that war, the three Star Gods chose different paths to pursue their eternity. ‘Destiny’ chose Lancaster, who possessed the Sacred Sword, to kill ‘destruction’.”
“However, Rieloti, named ‘Truth’, chose to actively die under the Sacred Sword.”
Alcloreia’s gaze gradually fell on Ig, who had lowered his face. “Perhaps, the self-chosen destruction of this mysterious Starry Sky God was to choose to completely merge His origin and authority into this world.”
Although Alcloreia did not truly speak the final words, anyone would know what she was referring to.
—The origin and authority of a Star God were born in this world as a human.
“No wonder I am my father’s descendant… even before meeting the Young Lady, or even devouring the Demon King’s Heart, I struggled to contain this world’s elements and power.”
Ig lowered his face.
The Knight’s words were merely a narrative, without any evidence. However, Ig instinctively felt that what the other party said was the truth.
“Hehehe, so that’s how it is… This Seat always felt that your spirit and soul were somewhat strange. I didn’t expect it to be the work of a Starry Sky God.”
Anderdun’s sinister laughter reached his ears. However, Ig had no intention of replying.
It wasn’t due to the confusion in his heart, or the anger generated by being caught in a conspiracy, but rather a sense of guilt that seemed to tear his heart into pieces.
“Disax came because of me… even that giant beast in the ocean was because of me. It was me who put the Young Lady, and Veer, in danger.”
You clearly said you would protect her… but it was you who brought her danger and disaster…
