Chapter 549: Leaving

Marvin froze.

Just as she finished asking the question, the imprint in his palm started burning.

He thought it was an illusion before, but he now noticed a miniature Truth Scale!

He knew of the immense power of the Truth Goddess. If she recovered, it wouldn’t be possible to estimate her power based on the current Gods.

If he became her Guardian, most of the Gods and Devils in the entire universe wouldn’t dare to provoke him.

This was a great temptation.

But he still shook his head, declining Molly’s invitation.

His answer was simple.

“I only protect those who need my protection.”

“I am someone without faith. Truth is very valuable, but I’m sorry, I don’t have the ability to believe unconditionally in one thing.”

This kind of answer didn’t seem to surprise Molly.

She nodded and smiled sweetly. “If this is your answer, then it’s fine.”

“I’m very thankful for your protection when I was at my weakest. Griffin is my Paladin, so he was naturally drawn to me. But for you to be able to forge a connection, I am very surprised.”

“In any case, if you need my help, you know how to find me.”

She winked playfully at him.

The Truth Scale on Marvin’s hand disappeared without a trace.

Marvin thought about her words.

“You are leaving?”

He looked at Molly and Griffin.

Molly nodded, explaining, “I already left this world for too long, so I don’t know what it is like now…”

“I’ll go look for some people…”

“There are some places I want to see too… Anyways, I believe we will meet again one day.”

Her voice became softer, as the Truth Scale’s radiance gradually dwindled. The two of them turned illusory under the light and disappeared from this place.

At the last moment, Marvin noticed Griffin nodding at him.

This righteous Paladin was able to be reborn. Marvin was quite happy about that.

What changes would that Goddess and retainer bring upon this chaotic world?

Marvin was very curious.

It had to be known that in the game, there hadn’t been anything about the resurrection of the Truth Goddess.

…

“They left. We should go too,” Minsk suggested gently.

He originally came here to stop the Wilderness God from being resurrected.

Not only did he see the demise of the Wilderness God, but he also witnessed the resurrection of the Goddess of Truth. This really was quite a wonder.

“Please do not divulge anything that happened here,” Faniya softly entreated. “The return of the Goddess of Truth will inevitably create huge waves. No one will pay any mind to the rest. I hope you can keep what happened here a secret.”

Marvin and Minsk nodded.

Hathaway threw the Cold Light’s Grasps over.

The Moon Goddess used her Divine Power, and after a moment, she removed the Night Flower from the daggers.

The Night Flower entered the Ethereal Jar and finally, Hathaway had obtained the final piece of the Heim Scepter.

Marvin’s heart stirred as he released Isabelle from the Origami space.

She was unable to move after being bound by Bandel’s Witchcraft, but after obtaining the Night Flower, removing that curse was obviously very easy.

Isabelle regained her freedom.

Marvin didn’t stop there and also released the Winter Assassin.

After all, that guy had been attacked unjustly back in the day. Hathaway was unusually easy to convince this time, and she used the flower to remove the curse from the Winter Assassin.

He turned into a middle-aged Assassin from a funny Wisp.

“Fuck! After so many years… This Great Assassin finally returned to normal.” The Winter Assassin was very moved.

Isabelle glanced at him, but she didn’t say anything. The Winter Assassin really had suffered a lot. No one knew how many years he had spent in the darkness.

A lesser person might have already gone insane. Being able to survive was already proof of his tough will.

“These used to be your weapons. I’ll return them to you now.”

Faniya waved her hand and the Cold Light’s Grasps flew toward the Winter Assassin.

Marvin froze in confusion. He pointed at the weakly breathing Miss Silvermoon and asked, “What about her?”

The Moon Goddess exposed a bitter smile and muttered, “She doesn’t need that thing.”

“No Gods can be reborn after truly dying. Bandel’s obsession affected my judgement, and this nearly created a disaster.”

“Although her soul has already gathered, it won’t last too long… At most… Another fifteen minutes.”

They all remained silent.

Some matters truly couldn’t be changed.

It seemed that even the most powerful Gods couldn’t completely breach the barrier between Life and Death.

“Luna…”

“Lunaaa…”

A weak voice rose up from a corner.

It was a weak soul fire, almost extinguished. But it was struggling to float over to reach Miss Silvermoon’s side.

Miss Silvermoon slowly opened her eyes.

“Let’s give them some time.”

Marvin and the others tactfully left.

…

Holy Light City, on the southern hills.

“It’s time to return to Feinan.”

Marvin looked at the snowy mountain in the distance.

He had only spent eight days in the Crimson Wasteland, but to the people of Feinan, only half a day had passed.

This kind of time flow made him want to spend more time here.

But the appearance of the Dream Guardians alarmed him.

This was the Crimson Wasteland, not Feinan. It wasn’t safe. It was still very dangerous for Marvin to encounter peak Divine Servants. And he had many enemies in the Universe. After the shock caused by the Truth Goddess’ return, the subordinates of Dragon God Hartson and Demon Lord Balkh might already be rushing over.

In any case, he found Minsk, so might as well play it safe and return early.

Before leaving, he asked Hathaway to take the Dungeon Core in the Regis Ruins.

Anzed Witches had all kinds of magical methods, and she peeled the huge Dungeon Core from the Regis Ruins and put it in a white jar.

This jar wasn’t as special as the Ethereal Jar, not having much Magic Power by itself, but it was very good for storing things.

Marvin roughly estimated that the interior of that thing was comparable to a Demi-Plane.

Hathaway was quite generous, so Marvin naturally wouldn’t be stingy in return.

Before parting, he gifted her the Magic Eye that he gained from Balkh.

The Magic Eye was a treasure tailored for Witches. He believed that it would definitely shine in the hands of the Witch Queen.

Hathaway also didn’t refuse. The two had a tacit understanding.

They wouldn’t mention the matters of the past.

They knew that it was different now. Marvin was the Overlord of White River Valley, and was someone valued by the Goddess of Truth. As for Hathaway, she was the Queen of Ashes, the hope of the Anzeds’ future.

Each of them had their own path, and maybe one day they would have the chance to walk it together.

But they would have to face many difficulties before that could come to pass. They would mostly have to face them alone.

Hathaway left easily. She had the ability to pass through space, so she vanished in front of everyone.

It wasn’t as simple for the others.

They needed a Teleportation Door. Fortunately, the Migratory Bird Council had already foreseen this and had prepared a tool for Marvin which contained a fixed planar Teleportation Array.

After the Winter Assassin regained his freedom, he said that he should experience this world properly.

He threw the Cold Light’s Grasps to his disciple, patted her back and left leisurely.

Isabelle was reluctant to part with him, but after hesitating for a bit, she still decided to return to Feinan with Marvin.

She knew that her teacher had his own matters to attend to.

As for her, it was time to fulfill the oath she silently took before.

Building the Teleportation Array went pretty quickly.

Minsk, as the son of the Nature God, was quite knowledgeable in all kinds of fields, especially magic, arrays and other similar subjects.

After thirty minutes, the planar lighthouse was ignited.

In the distant Feinan, Old Ent, who had been waiting calmly in front of the entrance, immediately ordered, “Get them back!”

…

To Marvin, it felt like he had left Feinan for a long time.

In fact, he had left Feinan from Jade City at midnight.

But when he saw Old Ent’s face again, it was only the next morning.

Originally, he planned to stay for two weeks, so he had sent a letter to White River Valley.

He hadn’t expected to complete his mission so efficiently.

As for the thrilling experience, it had also struck him with fear many times.

He had met who knew how many dangers after spending just a few days in the Crimson Wasteland.

This was something unimaginable in Feinan.

This made him realize once more that his strength was far from enough!

He still wasn’t ready to face the Gods!

And right now, outside the Universe Magic Pool, countless New Gods were covetously eyeing him and White River Valley.

He had to keep getting stronger!

…

Marvin also gained a lot from this trip to the Crimson Wasteland.

Besides the two Origin Leaves he received from the previous agreement with the Migratory Bird Council, as well as the secret book about achieving a breakthrough in the Human body, his own strength also greatly improved.

His Ruler of the Night class levelled up, his advanced Divine Vessel activated successfully, and he also obtained an Oddity that could turn him into a Great Druid.

And most importantly, he found Isabelle.

Isabelle, who wasn’t a little girl anymore, had turned into a very frightening Assassin.

She had made it clear that she would keep following Marvin in the coming days.

This was a great news for both Marvin and White River Valley.

…

Marvin side was happy to have completed the mission, but the Migratory Bird Council was embarrassed.

They really found Minsk, but the Nature God’s son was unable to contact the Nature God either.

The World Tree was still withering.

And there was no answer from the people they had sent to the Green Sea Paradise. Old Ent was quite worried.

They prepared a second team led by Minsk to go to the Green Sea Paradise.

Old Ent originally thought of asking Marvin for help again, but this time Marvin declined.

Before his strength was sufficient to face more Gods, he wouldn’t leave Feinan again.

He didn’t want to experience that feeling of powerlessness that he went through in the Wilderness Hall once again.

Old Ent could only disappointedly watch Marvin and Isabelle leave.

“Milord, where are we going next?”

On the way out of Jade City, Isabelle finally broke her silence and asked a question.

Marvin smiled and pointed toward the southwest. “Lavis.”

“That is my grandfather’s homeland…”
