Chapter 690: Chapter 250: Beast 2
The Divine Knowledge Girl lifted her head, a rare trace of confusion appearing on her face.
“Child, it’s okay not to try hard, it’s okay not to beco anyone, it’s okay not to bear responsibilities.”
The Liberation Saintess spoke word by word:
“—You have no obligation to save anyone.”
This is a curse.
Words that, as a saintess, should never be spoken nor heard.
“If you’re tired, just rest. If you’re weary, just sleep.”
“It’s okay not to move forward, you don’t have to do anything.”
“Even if you beco a useless person, I believe there will be soone willing to help you like that.”
“After all, there are always people who love to ddle.”
“When that ti cos, you can expect and rely on them fully, like a little girl indulging herself.”
“Although they haven’t appeared yet, although that person might be younger than you, or even not yet born…”
The smile of the Liberation Saintess was as gentle and peaceful as always, as seen day and night.
“But even without you, humankind has a future.”
“So, keep hope in your heart.”
Months later, during the invasion of the Curse Absorption Demon, the Liberation Saintess perished.
She faced the battle alone, exerted all her efforts, and ultimately sacrificed herself, gaining precious retreat ti for the surrounding citizens.
But this failed crusade, based solely on the Liberation Saintess’s decision, was not celebrated and was sealed away in the Church’s confidential records.
The day after the Liberation Saintess fell in battle, the confined Saintess Candidate made a bold move. After a fierce battle, she personally ended the Curse Absorption Demon, and soon ascended to the position of Saintess.
The history of the Church and the Kingdom henceforth stepped into a new chapter.

The Hero gently closed the diary, closed his eyes, and recollected the bits and pieces recorded in the text.
From the first eting of the Liberation Saintess and Divine Knowledge Saintess, to the ti she took her as a disciple and carefully cultivated her as a Saintess Candidate;
To when the Divine Knowledge Saintess gradually ca to prominence, relying on her prophetic abilities to shine brightly, although her character began to change;
And finally to the ti when the Liberation Saintess realized the truth of that ability and tried to change destiny but was powerless to do so…
In search of unlocking the shackles on the Divine Knowledge Saintess, the Liberation Saintess found the Book Spirit.
During the abolition of slavery, the Book Spirit had served as an advisor, providing nurous suggestions and assistance to them.
Through the exchange of letters, the two beca pen pals.
But even the Book Spirit, who historically survived by feeding on the concept of “enslavent,” was helpless in the face of the Divine Knowledge Saintess’s power.
The absolute prophecy of the Divine Knowledge Saintess, like a sweet poison, had already been overly relied on by the ti the Liberation Saintess discovered sothing was amiss.
Even though she realized the truth and felt resistance, the gravitational pull of destiny had already deeply bound them, making escape impossible.
For the power redeed not only themselves, but also nurous followers of the Church, and countless citizens of the Kingdom.
Just by following the guidance of the gospel, by following the Saintess’s lead, one could reach a better future—without pain, and without cost.
Even the submission to the Four-winged King was rely a part of her road ahead.
If one were to call it enslavent—it would be too happy a fate.

“Have you finished reading?”
The voice of the Book Spirit interrupted the Hero’s contemplation.
“Hmm… It’s a long story.” The Hero nodded slightly.
The Book Spirit took the diary back from the Hero’s hands with both hands, gently dusted off the little dust on the book, and then placed it back in the display case.
Invisible magic power surged up, sealing the diary once again with transparent glass, resisting the passage of ti.
“Any thoughts? On her life, on her confession…”
The Book Spirit tied her twist braid again, put on her simple glasses, and curiously asked the Hero.
Moved, angry, disdainful…
She expected to see such emotions on the Hero’s face, but the erald-eyed girl was just calm, shaking her head slightly.
“I—”

“I understand it’s a sad story, but specifically regarding the individuals in the story, I only feel like they’re too arrogant, I can’t understand.”
The Hero shook his head, offering a response with a calm expression.
It was neither a denial nor an affirmation, but an attitude of not comnting.
“If you an the Angel King, I can understand a bit, but in your view, even those two saintesses are arrogant?”
The Book Spirit adjusted her glasses, curiously inquired.
“Yes, I can understand a hero fighting alone, and I can understand a wise man leading others…
“But just because one can predict part of the future and thinks they can and should decide the direction of the entire species is bewildering.
“Let alone assuming a servile posture to seek help from a non-human magic creature.”
The Hero made a faint comntary while holding a scepter.
“To rely on the wisdom of a sage is understandable, but to think one has the right to make decisions for others without even having the authority themselves…
