Volume 9, Chapter 15 – Goddess

Main World.

After killing Michael, a full day had already passed.

Tianyin, who had returned to the Main World, descended once more, her position landing inside a church hall that no longer had many people living in it.

Of course, Tianyin’s plan after descending was indeed to deal with Yunchou. However, the moment that thought formed, she immediately sensed Yunchou’s actions.

Logout.

More precisely, the entire person logged out.

As the Supreme, Tianyin had already identified Yunchou as a “virus” from a “parallel world”. His body within the game world was his true self.

In the real world, there was no such person as Yunchou. The Yunchou in the Main World was his true existence.

Logically speaking, Yunchou, who had no physical body in the real world, should not have been able to log out.

And in reality, that was indeed the case. However, during the past few days when the game and reality were still in a state of fusion, that clear boundary had already been broken.

The boundary between the game and reality had become extremely blurred, and as a player, Yunchou originally possessed the authority to log out.

Thus, naturally, Yunchou chose to log out. This was something Tianyin had not calculated for… no, it was not that she had not calculated it, but that she was far too confident, so confident that she subconsciously ignored this possibility.

Thus, upon realizing that Yunchou’s countermeasure was to use the login and logout mechanism, Tianyin decisively chose to give up.

Continuing to hunt Yunchou no longer held any value, and what came next… was for Tianyin to quietly wait for the descent of the World Will.

Everything was ready, lacking only the final wind.

The descent of the World Will would be the moment of the final battle. Before that, Tianyin only needed to conserve her strength.

Prepare everything thoroughly, then destroy the World Will in one decisive strike.

……

When Samael woke up, she realized she was already inside a narrow little room.

The white interior of the room was extremely plain, so plain that the few pieces of furniture were visible at a glance.

She stood up, her body carrying a long unfamiliar sense of weakness.

However, this bit of weakness was entirely insignificant for Samael, who was a Blood Knight.

“Wait… where am I…”

After staring blankly at the room for a very, very long time, Samael’s chaotic memories gradually recovered.

The blood-colored world, her first encounter with her.

Inside the fortress invaded by the undead, the first time she used her power to protect her.

And then, their adventures. Along the road, whether sorrow or joy, she and her shared everything without reservation.

‘But… why am I here now?’

The memories in her mind were abnormally vivid, not resembling a dream at all.

Yet the fact that her body existed was also undeniable.

Still, at this moment, Samael could not make sense of the situation at all. She was completely unable to understand what she had experienced.

After all, in the world within her memories, she should not have had a body. Not only that, she could only exist as a soul residing within Tianyin’s body.

But the problem was that her current self clearly possessed a body. This was something she could not deny…

“Am I dreaming?”

After being dazed for a very long time, Samael finally arrived at this conclusion.

Although it sounded very fantastical, without knowing that her body had been given to her by Tianyin, Samael could only explain it as all of her previous memories being nothing more than dreams.

Even though she did not know why thinking this way made her feel extremely distressed, the bewildered Samael could only explain the current reality like this.

“I didn’t die… I was actually just sleeping…”

“So before this, those familiar memories were just stories I imagined while I was asleep?”

“But… why do those imagined stories feel so real…”

The more she treated it as a dream, the more Samael refused to believe her own conjecture…

But the truth was right there. No matter how much she doubted it, what she faced now was reality.

“Let it be… people still have to look forward, after all…”

In the end, the girl chose to believe her own judgment. Inside the empty room, she made her choice.

Believe in herself, and face the future.

And so, after awakening, Samael lived a “peaceful” life in the Beginner Village.

However… after only a single day had passed, this former figure who once struck terror into countless hearts, Wrath itself, the original Blood Knight, finally could not endure it any longer…

The reality before her told her that what she had experienced in the past might have only been dreams… but the indescribable, unbearable sadness in her heart told her that those experiences were something she would never be able to forget.

Rеaԁ οո ΚаtRеаԁiոɡСаfe

“How could I forget…”

“How could I possibly accept that those experiences were false, that they never existed…”

The current Main World no longer had any newbie players.

With no newbie players, the Beginner Village, aside from those mechanical NPCs, had only Samael left alone.

And now, the girl who remained alone in the Beginner Village finally saw her true heart clearly.

“What I experienced with Xiaoyin were never dreams. I am Samael, I am the Blood Knight, I am Wrath, and I am also the one who protects Tianyin.”

“Those lives were also my lives… those are my memories. They are not illusory lives…”

The girl who faced her own heart finally understood her true feelings. For her, aside from herself, there was also Xiaoyin, an extremely, extremely important person.

That was family, family bound to her by deep ties.

From the very beginning, the connection between her and Tianyin had been built upon their souls. In a certain sense, she was the one who understood Tianyin the most in this world, and likewise, only Tianyin understood her the most.

“Then, do you want to go find her?”

As the girl was feeling sorrowful, a voice suddenly rang out in the unusually quiet Beginner Village.

Samael raised her small face, looking up at the sky in confusion.

And there, at some unknown point in time, a petite little loli with a cute face was floating in midair.

“Who are you?”

“Me? Ehehehe, my name is Weilan, I’m Goddess’ most reliable helper~”

Reαⅾ οո KаtReaԁiոgСafе

The little loli named Weilan blinked, and when she mentioned “Goddess”, she proudly puffed out her exceptionally flat chest.

“Weilan? Goddess?”

Hearing this information, even Samael, who was well experienced, felt somewhat confused.

After all, there were not many existences in this world that dared to call themselves gods. Even Throne-tier beings did not refer to themselves as gods.

And Goddess was clearly an existence she had never heard of.

Throne-tier or Legendary-tier?

Subconsciously, Samael began to guess the strength of this “Goddess”.

“Hmph, you brat, are you thinking something bad about Goddess in your heart?”

As if she knew what Samael was thinking, the little loli floating in the air puffed up her cheeks in slight dissatisfaction.

Translator Note

Ohhh! Weilan was the girl that transferred Tianyin from her first dungeon to Yivrea in the early novels in Volume 1.

But… Goddess, huh… does it mean… we still have hope?

But… but… Tianyin has killed the Fortress Emperor and Michael… Although they are side characters, I think there’s no turning back…
