Capítulo 1607: Chapter 294: The Plot to Slay a God

“I beca a frontline Inspector. This ans I might die at any mont… Due to my foolishness, this sudden death might occur the day after tomorrow, or maybe the day after that, or any following day. As long as I diligently complete my tasks, that day will eventually co.

“There’s no Inspector who doesn’t need to handle dangerous matters. If the Inspector doesn’t do it, should the ordinary people handle it themselves? That’s impossible. This is the responsibility of an Inspector, and it’s our destiny.

“From then on, I already viewed myself as a dead person. By that ti, I had prepared for death and had the resolve that every ti I stepped out of the dorm, I wouldn’t co back.”

Hayna spoke, recalling her timidity and resolve when heading to the Moriarty Estate.

She rembered fighting side by side with the wheelchair-bound Aiwass at the Pelican Bar.

At that ti, she felt no fear.

And because of this, she chose a defensive advanced profession. She wanted to be the shield for her teammates, to withstand harm for them.

… But why did she beco more timid afterward?

The stronger she beca, the more cowardly she grew instead.

Was it the influence of the Path of Adaptation on her?

Turning her from an obedient Knight who protected others into an Adapter whose primary goal was survival?

… Maybe it had sothing to do with it, but it wasn’t absolute.

It was probably because Hayna had found contentnt.

No one gave her orders anymore, and no one had expectations for her.

Her parents once wanted her to be successful, so she tried her best, enduring the curse of Amber to enter Avalon’s top academy, becoming the top student; afterward, Aiwass wanted her to protect him, so when faced with enemies stronger than herself, even with a “burden” in tow, she didn’t retreat or run away. Then, for the hope of her companions to beco strong, to be the protector in the team, she entered the promotion ceremony alone, killed enemies alone, completed tasks, and achieved successive victories.

But after that, no one gave her any more orders.

She had done well enough, and everyone told her to relax a bit.

So Hayna chose to stop.

She felt everything before her was good enough, and she just wanted to keep it that way. Thus, she dissuaded her friends from venturing into dangers, tried to preserve herself when encountering threats, and felt hesitant and indecisive when facing challenges from strong enemies…

But now, she had new goals.

Once again, there were innocents needing her protection.

Once again, there were sacred tasks she needed to complete.

Compared to those…

“—It’s just death, what’s so hard about that?”

Hayna said seriously, straightening her back: “Whether or not I can beco a Pillar God or a King—what’s before now, I will do well.

“You need to beco the vessel of the Celestial Marshal, right? I—am fine with that.

“For the path of justice, I am willing to sacrifice myself for it.”

Just like a true Knight.

Morgan also slightly widened his eyes.

This unwavering determination, like the old Lancelot.

With Hayna’s fiery resolve, a phantom of a Sword gradually appeared behind her.

However, determination was but a mont, like fireworks. Its ti to reach the limit was very short, and like the resonance of the Path, it didn’t last long. That Sword almost materialized, but then gradually dissipated…

—Yet before it completely vanished, the Grey Celestial Marshal caught it.

In that instant, the Sword took shape.

Hayna jumped in surprise.

She didn’t even realize that an inexplicable Sword had appeared behind her.

“Your heart is too restless, Hayna.”

Holding the Sword forming out of chaos, the Grey Celestial Marshal slowly said to Hayna: “It’s not that you lack talent—you’ve never been an ordinary person. How could an ordinary person easily grasp so much knowledge? How could an ordinary person possess such talents for the Path?

“How could an ordinary person beco a Celestial Marshal’s avatar? How could an ordinary person be cursed by a Pillar God? You are always unable to solidify your Path, and the reason is simple… not because you are lacking, but because you are excessive.

“Once, the Winged Celestial Marshal split into the Great Sage and the Supre Heaven; once, the Serpent Celestial Marshal divided itself into the Snake Head and the Snake Tail; once, the Eternal Self sacrificed itself ten tis, leaving only the ‘Self,’ and then cruelly severed itself the eleventh ti; once, the Fallen Celestial Marshal separated good thoughts from evil ones, Aiwass also cleaved himself into the Pope and the Fiend…

“—And how will you cut yourself, Hayna? What part of yourself will you sacrifice?”

The Grey Celestial Marshal, raising the Chaos Sword, asked Hayna.

He seed like an executioner asking, “Do you know your cri?!”

And Hayna’s response was unperturbed, “I am innocent.”

“Because I have no desire to beco a Pillar God.”

Hayna said: “Like with so universities—they all dissatisfy . These things I can do, and no matter what, I’ll put in all my effort. But that’s not my ho.”

But hearing this, the Grey Celestial Marshal smiled.

“Very good.”

He said, handing the Sword he had shaped to Hayna.

“Possessing violence, yet for survival; yearning for change, yet adhering to order.”

The Grey Celestial Marshal slowly spoke: “Don’t you think this fits you well?”

“…?”

Hayna was stunned.

Which Pillar God was that? Which Source River?

How is it the fifth, the sixth, the seventh, the eighth?

The Grey Celestial Marshal transford into a lovely and pure maiden.

She extended a hand, casually placed it on Hayna’s shoulder, and said lightly: “Naturally the thirteenth Source River—I call it ‘Justice.’ What do you think?”

“… The… Thirteenth?!”

“Honestly, we’re next to each other, I should ascend first. My goal is to beco the Pillar God of the twelfth Source River… the intertwining of change and truth, that’s also protection of reality. Do you prefer a lie, or does an argunt sound better?”

The Grey Celestial Marshal said frankly.

“Wait, wait…”

Hayna’s head was spinning: “Isn’t… there only nine Source Rivers? Even counting the tenth… and Aiwass’s Miracle…”

Saying this, Hayna suddenly realized.

“You understand now too.”

The Grey Celestial Marshal said jubilantly: “That’s it.

“The number of Source Rivers is ever-increasing until that unntionable force binds them, ushering in doomsday.

“—If you truly believe from your heart that Aiwass can change everything and save this world… then you should know that after symbolizing hope with the Holy Number eleven, there’s still new possibilities.

“What I bet on is that possibility. My friends…”

The Grey Celestial Marshal spoke jubilantly, pointing to Hayna, then to Hassan, Morgan: “You, and you… all of us have the potential to beco new Pillar Gods. This world is continuously evolving, and the Dream Realm will expand ceaselessly.

“As long as the apocalypse can end, everything will conclude well, and everyone will be rewarded with rits; if the apocalypse doesn’t end, it just ans dying a mont earlier, so what’s to fear?”

“… Are you suggesting we all perform the Ring of Ouroboros?”

Hassan finally understood the Grey Celestial Marshal’s aning: “Both Hayna and I… beco Celestial Marshals, reenacting the ancient Battle of Punishnt?”

It’s not just about resisting the Great Abyss—that’s just a cover to lure out the Red Calamity.

What the Grey Celestial Marshal truly intends is to gather the collective might of the Heavenly Departnt to face and eliminate the Red Calamity!

Though they are rely the Heavenly Descent, lacking the true power of celestial marshals.

—But the Red Calamity isn’t the invincible Supre Heaven either!

It seems… feasible?

The Grey Celestial Marshal said aningfully: “Yes. Compared to the grandeur of future achievents, life seems a trivial wager. Of course, you could see my words as nonsensical lies…

“But even as a lie, isn’t such a possibility worth a try?”
