Night Ranger

The Divine Source was confined by the Truth Goddess, making it so that the Shadow Prince was unable to revive.

This time, Marvin had settled one of his problem for good.

Ever since he learnt from the Migratory Bird Council’s Old Ent that a shadowy force was stealing Nature Power, Marvin had felt uneasy.

Glynos hadn’t died and had only sunk into a supposedly endless slumber.

If he chose to remain hidden instead of reappearing, Marvin would have never been able to find him.

He would just be drifting through the boundless Universe. Marvin wasn’t a Wizard, so how could he find him?

There would have been no way for Marvin to stop him from just hiding and gathering his strength. Fortunately, after the Black Dragon God targeted Marvin this time, Glynos had thought that it would be a good opportunity, causing him to give up on his hibernation to rush over.

Things turned out as Marvin had suspected. Glynos truly was the one that stole the Ancient Nature God’s power.

Although Marvin still didn’t know how Glynos managed to steal it, the powerful Divine Source caused a lot of trouble for Marvin.

Defeating an immortal enemy was very difficult.

In fact, if not for the appearance of the Truth Goddess, Marvin would have to consider fleeing.

If he had fled to Feinan, Glynos wouldn’t have been able to follow him immediately.

Although the Universe Magic Pool had indeed shattered, a great amount of Chaos Magic Power was inundating the surroundings.

This caused a spatial distortion around Feinan.

This distortion would last for a while. Marvin, as mortal, would be unobstructed. The Gods, however, would be greatly affected by it.

If one of them tried to force their way in, their Godhood would suffer great losses.

Even if Glynos was courageous, he wouldn’t dare to chase Marvin to Feinan at this time.

But before it even came to that, the Truth Goddess appeared.

This was a great surprise!

’What did the Truth Goddess do? A judgement on behalf of the Gods!’

With the power of the Truth Scale, no sin could escape her eyes.

No one knew where she went after disappearing, but Marvin had a faint guess.

It must have been related to how she fell in the first place.

Marvin remembered that Ivan had a fragment of Truth. If that Truth fragment had been used in the 3rd era, then someone would have successfully ascended to Godhood and replaced the Ancient Goddess of Truth.

And the actual Goddess of Truth might have continued reincarnating with that curse.

Paladin Griffin would have kept following her, and unless a special opportunity showed itself, the two would have continued that endless cycle until the end of the Universe.

But the Wilderness God’s resurrection broke that curse.

When she left the Crimson Wasteland, she said she would be looking for an ”old friend”. Marvin understood what she meant.

She would definitely be looking for the culprit who had set her up.

’Did she find that ”old friend” in the end?’

...

Marvin thought of many things in those few seconds.

But deep inside, he was feeling very grateful for the Truth Goddess’ aid.

Her appearance there, helping Marvin to kill Glynos, was like a protective charm.

The Truth Goddess had an extremely special position in the Astral Sea. If she wanted to protect Marvin, there might not be a single entity in the Astral Sea that would dare to move against him openly.

If they did try something, they would have to do it covertly.

This would be very helpful for Marvin’s development.

The Truth Goddess didn’t come here just to pass judgement on Glynos. Her very resurrection was a deviation from the game’s timeline.

Her appearance might change the entire state of Feinan and the Universe.

As Marvin stood there watching the Truth Scale swallow Glynos’ Divine Source, he felt a bit of regret.

If he could absorb all of that Divine Source, the advanced False Divine Vessel might have upgraded again!

But he knew that now wasn’t the time to be greedy. If the Truth Goddess hadn’t come to help him, he could have ended up in a very difficult situation.

Moreover, he would have had to be wary of Glynos’ designs against him.

Marvin understood the Shadow Prince’s nature the most: he was sneaky, ruthless, and patient. This was the reason that he could become one of the most frightening Assassins of the 3rd Era.

By killing the Shadow Prince, he eliminated a threat and received a lot of Comprehension. This was already very worthwhile.

As for the Divine Source, Marvin put it out of his mind.

...

The radiance of the Truth Scale gradually dimmed.

Sure enough, after the Truth Goddess punished Glynos, she didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she drew closer to Marvin.

”Respected Truth Goddess…”

Marvin felt a bit awkward, not knowing how to address her.

”Like I said before, calling me Molly is fine.”

After the golden light dissipated, the Truth Goddess didn’t seem as awe-inspiring as before, looking like an ordinary little girl.

Griffin followed behind her and nodded toward Marvin with a smile.

”Okay, Molly…” Marvin wouldn’t argue with her on that.

After all, his relationship with the Goddess of Truth when she had been in her mortal body could be considered to rather good. He also wasn’t one to put Gods onto a pedestal, so calling her by her name suited him just fine.

”I have some matters to discuss with you.”

”You might be interested.”

Molly took back her Truth Scale and gave Marvin a serious look. ”Interested in coming to my God Realm?”

She didn’t restrain her voice while uttering this sentence.

In the entire Universe, all those who were aware of the fight that just took place were able to hear this.

Despite them being on the side of the Universe and being in an intense fight, the Gods still shuddered internally upon hearing that invitation.

Marvin froze.

The Truth Goddess invited him to her God Realm?

How could he refuse such a good thing?

This was the best time to intimidate others with powerful back-up.

If the Truth Goddess wanted to get rid of him, Marvin definitely wouldn’t be able to escape. Her actions showed that there was something very important she wanted to ask him.

Marvin nodded in agreement.

Molly immediately opened a dazzling golden door, and the three of them went in.

...

The Truth Goddess’ God Realm was very simple. Because it had been abandoned for so many years, it didn’t have any inhabitants, just her and Griffin.

She entered a gorgeous palace and hinted Marvin to follow.

”After reviving this time, I sought out many people and found out that the world is now very different from its state before my fall.”

She softly told Marvin, ”I personally went to Feinan.”

Marvin immediately opened his eyes wide.

The Truth Goddess went to Feinan!?

How?

She didn’t mention sending an avatar… How could she go in person with the Universe Magic Pool’s restriction? Could she have gone after it shattered? That also seemed wrong. For now, the Gods were still unable to enter Feinan.

Marvin was puzzled.

Molly gave him a warm smile. ”I took a trip to Thousand Leaves Forest and borrowed something from the Elven King.”

After saying that, her wrist flickered and a familiar fragment appeared in his hands.

The Truth Fragment!

Marvin immediately understood that the Elven King she referred to should be Ivan.

That Truth Fragment in her hands showed that she had indeed been to Feinan.

”Someone caused that situation in the past and didn’t wish for my resurrection, resulting in that Truth Fragment.”

Molly looked closely at Marvin and asked, ”You are the one he chose, so I hope you can explain something to me.”

”Why does Lance want me dead?”

In an instant, Marvin only felt coldness.

The eyes of the Goddess of Truth were filled with a divine might!
