Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Shaer decisively gave up on continuing her attack on Celene at this point.

The abandonment was so resolute that even the attacking Celene’s face couldn’t help but twist a little... After all, everyone understood that what Shaer despised was the Silvermoon above the Dark Moon.

It appeared that Shaer despised this world’s moon, but in reality, she was still disdainful of Celene, the Goddess of the Silvermoon.

Hill smiled as he shifted the topic: ”Aislin, though not a good person, is not quite deserving of death.”

”Hehe~” Celene let out an awkward laugh and quickly followed Hill in moving away from the topic, ”By the way, Hill, you can just call me by my name from now on.

Otherwise, you might find yourself hesitant to speak freely.”

When she needed to use her brain, Celene could be exceptionally understanding... After all, Hill had spoken Shaer’s name directly, so continuing to address her, Celene, with the respectful God Name was indeed a bit awkward.

Shaer might not care now, but that doesn’t mean she won’t care in the future.

Therefore, when Hill spoke, he indeed tried hard to avoid calling her name.

As for Lansendel, Hill had already received the privilege from him to call him by his name... As one of Toril’s rare warm deities, the Lord of Dawn never liked rules in this regard.

As long as he found someone agreeable, he’d generally allow the person to address him directly by name.

Actually, just paying a little attention to Hill’s speaking style could reveal how he was trying to avoid topics that could lead to misunderstandings... But the one who noticed this turned out to be Celene, which was a bit unbelievable.

Even Lansendel, who had struggled out of the endless temptations and still looked a bit deflated, noticed: ”It seems this moon is indeed quite troublesome.”

”Indeed, Celene has become courteous!” Shaer interjected coldly.

Lansendel sighed slightly, then clapped his hands as if cheering himself up: ”As expected, my choice wasn’t wrong.

If even Celene can sense the trouble and wants to avoid that existence, then what on earth...!

Amanata, why can you always make the choices that mess things up for Toril!”

Just like the event back then that ruined the first Goddess of Magic, Mystree... Amanata actually had countless opportunities to prevent this mess during that long time.

After all, although it seemed like it relied on its own power, it was actually supported by many Floating Cities... And these supporters were Amanata’s followers.

Lansendel could actually guess a bit about what was going on in the heart of the Sun God who became the cause of the conflict between Shaer and Celene and was rejected by the Toril Gods... Especially that clueless Mystree watching the drama, probably unlucky, who helped Silvermoon Celene drive away Dark Moon Shaer, bringing peace back to Toril.

But he also didn’t think, since he was originally the one being rejected, could he still be thrown out like trash after Mystree’s misfortune?

As long as the Weave remains Toril’s most important existence, someone has to take responsibility for this matter!

Kar the Fool has no such qualification.

Then, he, as the supporter of the Naicer Empire, the man behind Kar the Fool, naturally becomes the one who deserves to die the most.

It was from that moment that Lansendel stopped viewing Amanata as his opponent... A person who can’t think of even this point merely seems shrewd.

If it were him, during that long time, he would have managed to place Shantia, the true culprit, in front instead... She was the one who requested Celene to bring light to Toril!

But Amanata actually blamed the most innocent Mystree!

Such... an idiot, no wonder his only friend is the Fire Element Deity.

That guy is also typically quicker to act than to think.

But having suffered such a devastating blow, even his resurrection was almost messed up by the gods who hated him, how dare Amanata make a move again without understanding what he’s doing?

Lansendel of course didn’t need to go above the Sun to observe, as he could rely on the presence of light and shadow to see what was going on up there.

Amanata was truly attempting to excavate the Sun’s core.

Perhaps because the Sun God has been dead for a long time, this world’s Sun is clearly trying again to gather a deity that belongs to itself.

So, while the position of the core is extremely deep, it is also extremely obvious... Of course, this is true for him, Lansendel and Amanata.

Moreover, due to the impending eruption, which has been condensing for a very long time, even the truth-knowing Lansendel could hardly detect the extreme cold where even the hottest flames cannot ignite within the core’s deepest depths.

So, Amanata not discovering anything can be somewhat understood... Understood my ass!

Lansendel was infuriated!

He never thought, one day, there’d be something that would put him in such a dilemma... Even when resurrecting Tai Ji, he focused on how to do it, not whether to do it!

Getting what he wants but having to hit his own hand back when reaching for it, such a situation, the capricious Lord of Dawn encountered for the first time!

All because of Amanata.

If it weren’t for him creating this situation where Lansendel could ascend another level in powerful Divine Power, why would Lansendel be so conflicted!

Lansendel, growing angrier, straightforwardly asked Celene, ”Interested in having a little fun by the Styx?”

”What did you say?” Celene was extremely surprised.

”The Dark Moon and Silvermoon, the Dark Sun and Blazing Sun, after merging these two, the reason it’s so hard for us to handle isn’t it because, in order to completely suppress the other, we actually have to expend four times the energy!

Either both perish together, and then ignite the energies that belong to us here.

To speak of it, Celene, you don’t want this either, isn’t it because the cost of this thing is really too great!

To make such a great sacrifice for a world that can never truly belong to us, no one is willing to do it!

The forces of the Styx and Devils, neither you nor I can drive them away, right?”

Celene sighed unknowingly, ”If such a huge cost for once could succeed, I actually wouldn’t mind.

But, I just discovered one thing, their dual-core system is almost written into the World Rules, even if I now completely drive out the Power of the Dark Moon, it would at most extend for just a few tens of thousands of years.

Moreover, it’s very likely that this moon would remember my Divine Power, and derive a corrosive power against me... I’m not really a madman, am I to idly create such a troublesome enemy for my future self?”

Lansendel helplessly pressed his forehead, ”Amanata is digging into the sun core.”

Celene immediately understood... As the being who created this sun, she of course knew the weak points of this sun best.

”Did Mystree take his brain away?” Celene, who had always been reluctant to mention the Mystree she adored, finally couldn’t control her imagination.

She then also understood why Lansendel was so conflicted... Once Amanata succeeds, the best result is also making Toril experience a brief period of eternal day, and dawn would inevitably become the most devout belief of the surviving Toril people.

Perhaps this is also why Amanata continues excavating his sun without any scruples, knowing Lansendel’s arrival.

That guy isn’t something himself, of course he wouldn’t think Lansendel would give up such a great opportunity.

Didn’t that idiot Amanata think about it?

From the moment Lansendel appeared in the world, he’s been Neutral Good!

Even though his Faction hasn’t wavered since ancient times, indeed because no Faction hopes he would visit... But if Lansendel were truly that evil, even the Evil Faction, unwilling as it might be, would have to accept him!

The exclusion force condensed by the will of all beings, however strong, isn’t stronger than Lansendel truly committing sins.

The Dawn Calamity can’t be counted... Although indeed billions of Elves died, on another hand, these Elves were also welcomed into the Divine Kingdom!

For devout believers, living above the many troubles of the world, how could it be more comfortable than entering the Divine Kingdom of their lord?

Lansendel merely sealed his heart, losing the past love for the world.

But this doesn’t mean he would really be willing to see a world full of devastation.

Although Celene indeed doesn’t like thinking much, she truly is the most intuitive in Toril.

From the beginning of hearing about this matter, she never felt Lansendel would choose another seemingly prosperous path.

”What do you intend to do?” Celene asked genuinely, ”You know, I’m not really good at this kind of thing.

Are you asking Aislin, intending to do something with her?”

”The soul of that Silvermoon inside her body, has it also taken on the Power of the Dark Moon?” Lansendel asked seriously.

”Yes.” Celene nodded, ”I didn’t kill her, just a little curious about this... The Goddess of the Silvermoon herself must switch souls to use the Power of the Dark Moon.

But inside Aislin’s body, she can directly use both powers.”

Lansendel sighed softly, ”So, that Glaysia soul is still around!”

”Even though she’s hiding, I can feel her presence.” Celene answered seriously, but clearly she still hadn’t thought of what Lansendel intended to do.

But Shaer, who had been listening all along, understood, ”You think, the reason this situation arises is because that body of Aislin has almost been assimilated into half a Devil?”

”Not because of the Devil, but because of Glaysia.” Lansendel answered softly, ”Though long unmentioned, Asmodier is the King of Battle Angels from the Heavenly Mountain!

Glaysia is the embodiment of Angel and Devil combined!

Besides her body, who else could possibly possess the purest powers of light and darkness at the same time?”

”You want to use the power of the Styx as the adhesive, don’t you?” Shaer quickly asked.
