Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1384: Chapter 1174: You Really Don’t Want to Leave?

Edna pondered for a moment: ”I suspect she has a place of faith in this world, and has already received news, offering her prayers.

It’s likely all Magic Profession people, closely connected to the Weave, otherwise, it’s impossible to last until now.

Ordinary people... she absolutely couldn’t compare to me.”

Actually, even with such strong support, Black Eye is only defending desperately, her plan to use the sudden surge of Faith Power to finish off Edna has long collapsed.

Black Eye’s expression clearly began to look somewhat defeated... she knows very well that she absolutely can’t withstand the joint efforts of the other side in a war of attrition.

Especially with that Midnight who doesn’t think about the future at all.

It’s just that her combat experience is richer than Edna and Midnight, allowing her to use various tricks to offset their attacks... Edna is fine, but Midnight’s fighting style, like herself, is always in pursuit of one-strike-kill.

But excessive efforts sometimes affect Edna’s attacks.

Edna doesn’t plan to say much to Midnight... after all, it’s Midnight’s Mental Power that’s being exhausted.

Though she maintains a friendly attitude towards Midnight and has envisioned them a better future... Edna wouldn’t just believe Midnight is harmless.

Even the best future doesn’t necessarily compare to a divine position with powerful Divine Power, right?

Who knows, after all the experiences, if Midnight will still insist on being herself.

If Midnight didn’t truly despise and hate the divine position of the Goddess of Magic... her initial reluctance to replace Mystra with her name is related to her delicate psychological state.

Midnight initially didn’t plan to take Mystra’s place... she was indeed tempted, but preferred to stay in the Mortal World.

If her teammates hadn’t persuaded her that only by becoming the Goddess of Magic could she avenge, she might have really thought about giving up... whether for boring pride or to follow a disappeared lover, Midnight genuinely thought about not accepting AO’s invitation.

Edna couldn’t quite understand Midnight’s feelings, but after repeatedly confirming that those memories are indeed true past events, she genuinely felt a bit sympathetic towards Midnight.

Holding a Magic Wand raised for justice, wearing a Crown carried for revenge, Midnight at that time had a reckless yet steadfast heart.

Ultimately, she ended up achieving nothing... because the chairman didn’t want his own general manager to do unnecessary things.

Edna watched Lady Midnight, who was commanding the Star sword with increasing enthusiasm, not wanting to hold back at all, and suddenly remembered the Old Age Striking King’s comment about her: attracted by the false slogan ’the company’s management rights are all yours,’ either squeezed dry to the last drop of blood or jumping ship to destroy the original company.

The unluckiest are those who only realize after being squeezed dry.

Probably at that time, just wanted to perish together with the deceitful chairman; unfortunately, she didn’t have the ability or opportunity.

Although the person in front of Midnight is not the chairman, the former executive whom she cursed for a long time, someone who left her a mess and walked away, deserves a beating first.

Edna blinked, seeing Midnight’s intensity, AO probably won’t give her a chance for Resurrection.

After all, even if she’s foolish not to understand anything, it’s one thing, but she understands and still refuses to compromise... Midnight keeps cursing Black Eye with crackling intensity, but the underlying meaning is directed at someone else, whom Black Eye understood.

That person... probably harbors a lot of resentment too, so even though hiding miserably, still cooperates with Midnight in a tacit understanding.

Listening but not watching might make one think those two are partners.

Edna’s hands didn’t stop, but she was a bit confused: although quite surprised to have received Faith Power herself, thinking about the influence range of the Undead Tribe, it made sense.

She hadn’t planned to seek help from the Undead Tribe, but upon discovering the movements over at Harua, and asking those related to the Deities... whether Tyr or Celene, including Shaer’s followers, could give them an accurate answer.

Edna smiled softly; once the Old Age Striking King knows the truth, he will surely find ways to help her.

It’s just... the Undead Tribe reacted a bit too quickly.

Judging by her almost burgeoning size after Black Eye’s growth, the Undead Tribe didn’t even confirm once?

From her understanding of the Undead Tribe’s commander, they should have asked several Temples to confirm if these events were genuinely beneficial to Edna before taking action, right?

She felt regret upon discovering Black Eye had someone singing praises beside her at that moment: why hadn’t she thought of greeting ’Snow Cloud Peak’ first!

After all, Snow Old Dog would surely guess who she is.

Sadly, she underestimated Black Eye, her primary precaution was aimed at Azuth.

That Black Eye chose Safras over Azuth really caught her off guard, the grand gift prepared for Azuth went to waste.

Sigh... if only had known... forget it, it’s meaningless.

Never expected her Sanda King Sister to boldly appear in front of three powerful Divine Powers, directly pressing her seal on Edna, leaving her puzzled.

According to her prediction, the Old Age Striking King should find Lynn, seek to see Hill, and then sign and stamp in Agleya City.

By the time the Sanda King learns the truth from Hill’s mouth, she should have finished all these... either smile embracing or quietly squatting beside the Sanda King to sleep.

Edna couldn’t foresee... as her original friend, Hill gave the Old Age Striking King the right for a few people to freely ascend the fortress.

And Sanda King, as a member of the Undead Tribe who entirely disregards deities’ presence, wouldn’t feel there’s any problem in going directly.

```

The deities spoke directly, so of course, the Snow Old Dog didn’t need to confirm repeatedly like he would with followers... not to mention, behind him was a potentially crazed ’Old Age Striking King.’

Anyway, Edna chuckled; her victory was almost assured!

”You madman!” Black couldn’t help but break down, ”Why are you going to such lengths?

Perish together with me, letting that little girl reap all the benefits...”

”Are you stupid?” Midnight impatiently replied, ”That’s my reincarnation! Even if she’s completely different from me, she is still me!

I never wanted to be the Goddess of Magic... Otherwise, why use Mystra’s name?

You don’t truly believe those tales about not changing names for world peace, do you?

I just wanted to turn Mystra into a job title, completely erase the existence of Black Eye by doing this.

Why else would I treat Azuth that way?

Among the Lesser Gods you left me, he was the only one... He’s not exactly a good person, but at least he made a decent god.

Tsk, to make sure that when people think of Mystra, they think only of what I’ve done, without any memory of you, is my greatest success!”

Edna couldn’t help but glance at Midnight... she had felt some oddities in Midnight’s memories, but she hadn’t expected this.

”What are you looking at?” Midnight said impatiently, ”I have a bad temper, but I’m not an idiot.

Tsk~

If they don’t let me do anything, they must not be busy.

So let them be a bit busier!

But... Kelben, I truly didn’t expect.

These memories, of course, are hidden in the deepest part of the soul; without a complete integration, how could I let you see them?

Even if you are my reincarnation, there are still many stupid things I don’t want to show you, you understand?”

”So... you’re breaking the pot, behaving recklessly until you can’t stop... might as well let it be?” Edna pondered for a moment and gave a more accurate... pleasant... evaluation.

”Ah... saying it like that, it’s not wrong.” Midnight thought for a moment, then cheerfully nodded.

But soon she got angry again: ”Damn AO, shameless Shaer!

They actually had Cyric assassinate me!

No matter who it is, as long as we get out alive... Cyric must pay!”

”Cyric... This time he will definitely hide for a long time, I don’t even know if we can catch him.

You and I both know, if that one still wants to use him, it’s impossible for us to find her.” Edna pondered for a few seconds before speaking, ”But that one won’t go unpunished, after all, he sneaked out to cause trouble again... Heim is done for.

If Cyric gets caught again this time, even that one will be embarrassed to just leave him be, considering he’s still serving his sentence.

He might really get locked up for 1000 years.

So, for sure, he won’t come out for a while, especially since the Goddess of Magic is returning to the Divine Throne, with the Weave fluctuating; this is the most convenient time to sense the outside world.

See, as long as he hides for more than a year or so, I’ll... find a way to have the Undead Tribe pass a message?

Just say... Cyric went to have a child with Heim.”

Black Eye froze, couldn’t help but let out two miserable cries... She accidentally stiffened up, and even though her face realized, she still got hit by two strikes.

Direct soul combat, once wounded, is more painful and unbearable than physical injury.

Fortunately, Midnight’s actions slowed a bit, otherwise, she really would’ve been... scared to death this time.

Dying this way is a bit embarrassing, and whichever of these two dead girls gets out won’t leave her any face, so she better persist a bit longer!

Black Eye glanced beyond the Mental Sea, but unfortunately, this time, Edna had sealed it tightly enough that she couldn’t find a chance to get a message out.

The silver-haired black-eyed goddess suddenly laughed: ”Midnight, don’t you think, Edna’s appearance is like the child of the two of us?”

Midnight quickly replied without thinking: ”Azuth, do you know how much she doesn’t want you around?”

Then she was slow to realize the meaning behind Black Eye’s words, coldly laughed: ”Edna, remember to change your hair color after ascending.

Look, a shepherd girl, that fading silver hair is so conspicuous, at a glance, she looks like she belongs to the same family as Elaströ and the others.”

Black Eye was stunned: ”You... really don’t want to go out by yourself?”

Midnight coldly chuckled: ”Who would be like you! Can’t even accept a bet like an adult!”
