Surviving The Fourth Calamity

”Amanata, stop!

Do you want to destroy this world?” Lansendel’s voice echoed through the clouds.

”Lansendel... why are you meddling?” A voice that was clearly serious and stern yet somehow gave off a sense of gentleness rose. ”Wasn’t it better as it was before?

Weren’t you only concerned about the safety of your followers, indifferent even to the world-ending calamity in Toril?

Even if this place is completely destroyed, what difference would it make?

A world under the Devil’s rule holds no value for survival.”

To some extent, Amanata indeed had his persistence... for instance, never considering humans as creatures worth looking at.

Roughly categorizing their value based on factions.

Hill felt a bit disgusted... it seemed all too natural for this guy to fall.

If the establishment of laws fell into his hands, Toril would probably still be the domain of Dragons and Elves now.

After all, in his eyes, only the strong deserve to live and enjoy life.

”Heh~” Lansendel gave a cold laugh, ”What you are, dares to be called the Sun God?

The Sun’s presence is a beacon of hope everywhere!

You destroyed the Sun of this world... such massive sin, do you want to become the Universe’s only Dark Sun?

Heh... Cyric likely won’t welcome you to contest his title of Dark Sun.”

Celene stood up in a panic and then fuzzily sat back down.

Hill couldn’t help glancing at her.

”When I tossed Aislin over there, I casually set up a surveillance device,” the Silvermoon Maiden suddenly realized, ”Why am I panicking!

It’s all Lansendel’s fault.”

Then she opened her palm and took out a beautiful and delicate little silver box... it was the most expensive kind of filming equipment Duke William publicly sold.

Not only beautiful, but also small in size, most importantly, very hard to destroy.

Hill quite agreed with the quality of this thing... of course, he tried it out himself.

Everything that claims to be indestructible faces the world’s most brutal tests.

For instance, someone like Hill would definitely try to see how sturdy it is.

Hill then discovered the cunning of the Master of Time and Space... this thing’s resistance is akin to starmetal... the kind Earth Bear uses to sharpen its claws and is very wear-resistant... doubly so.

If Hill exerted a bit more force, he could still manage to shatter it.

But perhaps after encountering the Earth Bear, the God of Time and Space finally understood the physical limits of the Fantasy World... hence, he set up a borderline on this box to transition from real to virtual.

Hill suspected he consulted Aurelio, as the borderline closely matched that guy’s power limit.

When the box hides into a nearby spatial point, even someone with Hill’s fair calculation ability, would find it challenging to pinpoint the coordinates... most importantly, investing so much willpower, just for a box, seems a bit unnecessary.

Thus, this thing indeed quite matched Duke William’s promotional language... and certainly, its price fit too.

Likewise, because his own boss dug up money effortlessly, and due to familiarity with the Earth Bear, William had no intention to calculate these things with gold and silver.

It’s mostly barter.

That’s a price even a wealthier deity in Toril would find painful.

Hill only knew that after Edna returned to her Josse Garden, she immediately bought a set... though this thing was expensive, a box matched with a filming device comprised 20 in total.

And these filming devices, as long as the main unit was intact, even if discovered by someone and shattered, they would instantly regenerate a new one within the main unit.

Therefore, one set was quite sufficient.

After all, when utilized, it’s not like opening 20 giant screens simultaneously... how should I put it~

This powerful yet secretive thing is activated mainly for observing deities or entertainment equal to them.

If twenty weren’t enough, Toril likely wouldn’t exist either.

Hill looked curiously at Celene... the Silvermoon Maiden being wealthy wasn’t surprising, what hadn’t she witnessed?

Hill more or less understood that the reason he could casually create ores and such was because he inherited the part of the World Tree associated with Primordial Power.

All that can be said is that the Goddess of the Earth genuinely loved the Earth Bear.

That’s why a whole clan possessed such abilities... as for Hill surpassing his predecessor, that’s another matter.

Likewise possessing Multiverse-level Primordial Power, Celene obviously had similar creation abilities.

Hence, the Silvermoon Maiden and the Lady of the Night would never lack resources and wealth.

Hill was curious about why she would seek William to purchase this thing.

This wasn’t something the Undead Tribe could help procure.

Moreover, it wasn’t purchased through their alliance meeting... Edna bought it back this way, so Hill knew about this matter.

There’s nothing that can be kept secret there, after all, with the involvement of elves.

So, she must have... bought it from the source.

Just thinking that this Silvermoon Maiden went directly to find William... Shaer must have been there at the time, otherwise, Celene wouldn’t have located William so easily... made Hill click his tongue.

Celene’s skin is much thicker than he imagined!

”Why are you so surprised?” Celene temporarily entrusted her box to List before turning to ask Hill, ”What Shaer has is much better than this!”

Hill’s eyeballs jumped suddenly, almost popping out of their sockets... Of course, he knew which kind was stronger than this thing.

Hill himself didn’t have it.

Although his trust in the God of Time and Space was very high, Hill was still someone who valued his privacy greatly.

He couldn’t be so open about it.

Gosh!

What divine qualities does William possess?

No wonder in this relationship, the God of Time and Space didn’t even utter a P!

Celene looked at the giant screen that was gradually showing images, seemingly talking to herself: ”Shaer, is it your rebellious phase?”

Shaer, who had been resting with her eyes closed, lazily lifted her eyelids... The one standing in front of her, all surprised and shocked, was her old maid sister who’s been alive for hundreds of thousands of years, and the immature Little Bear who knew nothing and followed Celene dumbly.

Hill typically wasn’t that foolish, it’s just that his mind was carried away by Celene... Even Shuni, who dared to say anything, wouldn’t discuss with such a Celene what it meant to be intimately intertwined, what it meant to be soulfully merged.

However, Shuni generally only indulged physically, so indeed she couldn’t chat with Celene about these things.

She did indeed hand over a part of her essence to William, but it was mutual.

Hill surely didn’t understand these things... Even though he seemed outwardly grown-up, part of him inherited from demigods was still a cub.

His Divine Soul couldn’t yet leave his body... Otherwise, why would divine children be so easy to kill?

Because their souls are overpoweringly strong, they learn everything quickly and well... as long as they want to learn.

After all, given their naturally strong bodies, these worldly beings wouldn’t face much danger even if they learned nothing... Of course, that’s the rather foolish kind.

Being good at learning doesn’t mean they’re sharp-minded.

Shaer glanced again at Hill... This kid had always been a sensible person with high self-standards, so when he matured into his divine soul, allowing it to leave his body, thinking back on today’s foolishness with Celene would probably have him burying his head in the sand for days.

Hill didn’t feel any ridicule from any direction, as his attention was entirely occupied by the images on the giant screen.

Celene too... Though she was always sensitive, it’s normal for her to be fiercely stared at by her sister when Shaer is mentioned, isn’t it?

It’s just that, always thick-skinned as she was, she couldn’t figure out exactly from which direction this ill will came from!

As it was all not of good intention, Celene didn’t plan to explore what Shaer might have cursed her with.

It’s not like she’s due a berating, why seek it out herself?

Moreover, isn’t the giant screen’s evasive portrayal, even mentioning Cyric not eye-catching enough?

This fellow, although usually disinclined to think, once it gets started, he can even fool Cyric!

Celene understood exactly why this guy mentioned Cyric in public... their purpose of seeking fun in this world wasn’t some secret affair.

Beings with even a slight bit of power could know what they were up to.

This is one of the reasons why Lansendel loitering at the gates of Heavenly Mountain hasn’t had anyone coming to seek his assistance... He’s already battled against Asmodeus for so many days straight, where would he get the strength to continue fighting?

No matter how amusing or not this reasoning is, as long as it’s usable and quite effective, it’s fine.

Lansendel doesn’t owe the God of Order any favors... his good deeds have fulfilled his mission already!

If anyone claims they can fight against the Lord of Hell and emerge unscathed, let them try!

But this also turned the existence of this world into somewhat not a secret.

Cyric, once spurred by curiosity, absolutely wouldn’t easily let go.

He certainly is watching too.

But if this turns into a dispute between Lansendel and Anamanta... which deity born of humankind wouldn’t dislike Amanata?

Be it lawful or evil.

It’s a dislike ingrained in their essence.

Even Bane, such a cunning, treacherous, and shameless creature, when encountering Amanata, would choose to trick him first... even if standing beside him was that bothersome Tom.

Even if Cyric still had some evil schemes in mind, he would wait until Lansendel has dealt with Amanata.

He’d probably even think up a good idea to beat someone while they’re down... after all, Lansendel has already provided the excuse, hasn’t he?

”Heh~ Saying it so nicely.” The Sun God, dressed in splendor comparable to Valkin, stroked his small mustache, mockingly said, ”Isn’t it just to get back at me?”

Why even find such an excuse?”
