The Goddess closed her eyes for a mont, feeling the change in the atmosphere around her. Slowly... purified mana seemingly got drawn to her location. The amount did not change. The realm was still circulating the sa quantity. However, because the only other god apart from her was trapped sowhere, the mana naturally got attracted to her, she was being flooded.
She took a deep breath, letting her self be drowned in the wondrous feeling of being slowly filled with divine power. Actually, not really slowly, as she could it increasing every passing second.
When a full minute passed, all of a sudden, another type of power rushed towards her, coming from the small statue likened to her image. It was not a foreign thing to her. No, it was what one of the things she sought highly even.
"My goodness!" She exclaid, covering her mouth as her eyes opened and widened in shock. The surprise that filled her heart when she suddenly felt it surging towards her was difficult to explain.
Who would have guessed that the small statue she tied to a string and fashioned into a necklace would actually be storing a large amount of faith power inside it?
So a certain amount of purified mana or sothing was needed to activate it?
"Crazy!" Another yelp escaped from her lips.
She only pondered for a couple of seconds to guess where it all ca from. It was from him. No doubt.
The prophet had road around half of the empire and preached in her na just a month ago and that must be where he had gotten all of these from. Yet the question was, how did he manage to contain the accumulated faith of the power inside a statue?
The girl scowled, unaware that Jiang Li left everything to the system and only paid points to it. But now that it was brought up, the system could actually do feats that even could surprise deities.
'Why does it seem like the mortal is giving the goddess more surprises than I did to him?' she annoyedly asked herself.
The Goddess' beautiful fingers fondled the ice carving.
Complicated emotions flashed across her beautiful eyes, simply contrasting the warm burst of light engulfing her.
The man she had started to fancy was quite the mysterious one. And to be honest, she hated it. As a divine being, a truly supre magician in charge of a Law of nature, her pride was at least knowing every mortal's thoughts and deeds.
But why was he not soone whose thoughts she could grasp?
Was he aware that her curiosity towards him, for nurous tis, had evoked her desire to be human?
It was a weird feeling since she had also quite beco interested in the lives of other people. Yet the curiosity only made her want to follow their lives. This was the first ti she wanted to descend, not to create miracles, but to see a mortal in person.
More divine energy moved towards her location and she absorbed them into her body without pause. As for the faith power, simultaneously, she was also bathing in it.
The glow she was emitting right now would definitely blind even a god's eyes, much less a normal human. If placed in the mortal's world, her radiance would definitely eclipse everything that shines, even the sun. This ti the phrase was not in a figurative manner or empty praising.
No matter if the Creator's captivity was temporary or not, the Goddess was thankful as finally, she had regained all the power lost from the summoning of the Saintess and the sending of future mories to Rumina Bolden. Yup, the girl did not truly go back in ti. The Goddess was not powerful enough to tamper with the Law of Space and Ti. In fact, not even the Creator could do that.
Still, her act of predicting future events and sending those to the young Rumina's brain was already quite impressive. Only that this cost her a lot of her divine power.
But because of this, the female lead knew what fate awaited her if she took the normal route and fell for the bastard Emperor. This ti, she would be spared of the heartbreak and betrayal. And even though the prophet's act of making her the bait for the Creator's entrapnt could also be considered a betrayal, at least, she was not truly harm.
The female lead's fortune this lifeti was all due to the Goddess. But as said above, the miracle had drained her of her power. This ti around, maybe it was fate's arrangent for Rumina to at least help a bit in luring the enemy god in the trap. This way, the Goddess recovered her powers as she currently had no one to compete with.
'I never know there's still this much-purified mana in the realm. It seems more than three-fourths always go to that old man.' She felt complicated emotions arising from within her.
'Is he that favored by the realm? Because he's the Creator?' She frowned, taking a couple of monts to erase the negative thoughts in her mind.
A long ti passed.
The mont the woman felt that she had gathered enough, she raised her hand and destroyed the chains. The thing broke easily not only due to her regained powers, but because its creator could not supply it with his divine power.
"Yay! Finally freed!" The Goddess cheered, laughing and giggling like a little girl for a fairly long while. After watching the chains turned into nurous light particles scattering around slowly, she stood in place, too moved and feeling complexed in her heart. Her laughter slowly turned silent as she beca lost in her thoughts.
It was hard not to feel moved after getting imprisoned for thousands of years. The boredom. The feeling of humiliation. The helplessness. And guilt.
As if she was afraid the chains would suddenly reappear, or beco alive again and capture her, she hurriedly cast a spell. She vanished from the palace itself, reappearing far away from there.
The palace that had housed for thousands of years then got swallowed by light before noisily crumbling. Of course, this was sothing she did to destroy the place reminding her of her humiliation as a Goddess.
To where she went?
The question was stupid. Where else would she go?
It was naturally at the space above her patron empire's capital!
Even though not many seemingly rembered what day was today, the Goddess had still resolved herself to make a miracle...
The sky responded to the smile full of excitent she had in her face and made way for the sun. This way, the whole empire saw the bright rays peeking out of the grey clouds, hope started to bud in the hearts of everyone, especially the male lead's people.
Below, the Goddess could see her prophet making faces and perhaps, taunting the red-haired guy weakly lying inside the cage.
'For now... let's create a real avatar for ,' she told herself after taking a deep breath.
The sight below made her add vengefully, '...And maybe, finish off the damn old bastard for real.'
