Author's Note: I am changing the POV back to Adam, and he doesn't know what Alepsia or Valencia are thinking. It might get a little confusing given we already know what Alepsia is going through, but bear in mind that Adam has his own thoughts based on what he has seen, one that is quite different from Alepsia's.

[Adam's POV]

"I need you to keep her with you. Hide her from the other Gods, make her your saint if you want to, but protect her until I return to take her with . Being a God, you can do that pretty easily, right?" I spoke as I looked back at Alepsia.
Her words were stuck in her mouth. She wanted to speak, but she lacked a proper response for .
I was scheming? Probably yeah. But it's not like she can't kill if she wants to. She can even kill Aliana, too. True, it might give her a bit of backlash, but it won't be anything permanent.
"You sure are trusting a True God with a heretic who tried to kill 1000s of innocent people," Alepsia spoke as she looked at , before turning to Aliana with a disgusted look.
"Sure but, she was also the reason that 1000s of people didn't die," I answered her in a pretty straightforward manner. Alepsia probably knows that Aliana was a minion of Amir, and was going to be used as a power source for Amir, given his nature.
My words might have even hinted that the reason I saved those 1000 people was Aliana, thus clarifying that if there was no Aliana, I wouldn't have interfered. It wasn't the truth, but it doesn't matter much to .
However, in the end, it does co to the question of the nature of Aliana herself.
"What if she tries to kill innocent people again?" Alepsia asked as she looked at . From this question, it seed like she was giving a chance. Now, the followup should be pretty easy,
"Aliana. Can you break your oath with Amir and make another oath with Alepsia that you won't kill any innocent person?"
I wonder how much she-
"[I break my oath to follow Amir till death!]" she spoke imdiately, before looking at Alepsia,"[I swear to the Goddess of Light, Alepsia that I will never kill an innocent]!"
Her eyes turned red as blood started gushing from her body.
"[Purify]!" Alepsia spoke as she healed Aliana in an instant. It seed a bit hurried? Well, I am probably overthinking. Though Aliana was still unconscious, as she stayed on the ground for the ti being.
"I am only doing this because you saved the city. There is no other aning to it," Alepsia warned as she looked at before she vanished from there," I will be keeping an eye on you," she added before her voice faded as well.
I could barely hear Valencia arguing with her, but it was too faint to make out anything. Turning around, I saw Aliana vanished from there as well, while I fell on the ground with my body exhausted from top to bottom.
'Talking with the Gods is never an easy task,' I sighed really hard. But in the end, I managed to create a valid plan for the future.
Now, I will have a saint class ally in the future with for sure. I wonder if I can make Alepsia have a favorable opinion of without using her true na. Though for now, she sure is going to be cautious of .
'I need to make my stats go above 500 at least to make sure I can survive the Gods… it's gonna be a pain, but… Alepsia isn't soone who is going to take rash action. Hopefully,' I sighed before stretching a little.
"Let's go to that place first. Gotta set up a good foundation for the future too," I changed my thought process as I smiled widely.
[Currently the world is at Version 0.0!]
[Ti before the world is updated to Version 0.1: 5 Months: 23 Days: 20 Hours: 11 Minutes: 46 Seconds!]
In the beta version, from what I rember, only 3 towns were available for my server. While two were in the Aurelian Empire, the third one was at the very far edge of the Aurelian Empire.
The town connecting the Aurelian Empire with the Nirvana Empire, Border Town.
Though I can't go empty-handed there. I need sothing that can attract their attention. Not only them, but the natives of Border Town.
'From what I rember, there was an organization within the town that was infamous for slavery and kidnapping. Just killing them won't be enough… ' I began to think of a proper way to gain an insider's reputation within the city.
Sothing that will make them look at as their benefactor. Sothing that will make them die for at my command? It's far-fetched but…
[One Way Out!]
[Dexterity Boosted!]
Without further ado, I began running. This ti, once again, to the Aurelian Empire's Holy City. While I do need to be in Border Town, it would be better to spend so ti within the Holy City and gain so levels as well as up my adventurer rank. I could also collect so information on the border town while at it.
Much faster than before, I reached the Holy City within a few hours. Perhaps because my stats were quite higher than before.
Though this ti, my life wasn't on the line, so I could enjoy the view much better than before. Starting from the outskirts, which held the poor nomads who lived in tents, I saw a bunch of small houses as I went deeper.
Further reaching deeper into the city, I finally reached the main gates of the city once again. The long line into the city, where the guards checked each and every person, was the sa as before. Nothing different this ti.
Though I decided not to enter the city using my status as [Light Mage] this ti. This ti, I introduced myself as a small rchant here to purchase so antiques from the city.
The guards checked my adventurer ID before asking for the entry price of 2 silver coins. Luckily, I 'took' so coins from the people when I removed their curses. Actually, I had already thought about it the last ti when I was entering the city. On how to have at least the required amount.
[Light Mage] would garner a bit too much attention that I didn't want.
"Thank you," the guard spoke as he let into the city.
Though…
As soon as I entered the city….
"Excuse , Mister… I am lost… can you... Help ! Awaaah!!!" standing like a lost kid, the child form of Alepsia appeared in front of … just what is this idiot trying to do?
