Chapter 832 - 404: The Final Gift
Zoe watched Hedaya’s memories from the side.
Ever since bidding farewell to the Divine Child, the Star Souls scattered away. With an understanding among themselves, they all knew that as long as a cry was sent out into the sky, companions would arrive no matter the distance.
The Star Souls never awaited another Divine Child. As slaves to the Divine People, they knew many profound secrets of the world, yet still had no knowledge of where she came from or what the sect she spoke of was.
But this peaceful world no longer needed them as weapons.
Hedaya traversed through stratiform clouds, visiting many places. Though it was aimless wandering, she helped many who needed assistance.
Unlike Baal, who preferred to contemplate as a bystander, she found more joy in personally helping others.
I don’t know how other Star Souls choose to live, but I found my direction, helping everyone, helping these children, and I am very happy.
But as time went by, she deeply understood the shackles set by the creator on her own body. Without the power supplementation of the Star Soul Greenhouse, their power was drained with no replenishment. Hedaya saw some Star Souls who did not pay attention to conserving power exhaust themselves, turning into statues and sleeping.
Such a situation they had never experienced before, and they didn’t know if a Star Soul turned into such a form could awaken again.
These emotions, like a monologue, were gradually transmitted into Zoe’s heart.
Hedaya eventually arrived at Lupus Island, which felt very dear to her, much like the earth where she was born.
She decided to stay here for a long time, and if the ancient enemies reappeared, she would still offer her power.
Zoe breathed deeply; in such a state, this was just her sensory operation.
But different feelings and thoughts were in intense conflict, hard for her to unravel all at once. She deeply realized that the memories she saw were too crucial, and she herself perhaps should do something.
But what exactly to do, how to do it, and what principles correspond to each thing, she still didn’t understand.
Li Ang, did Li Ang ever have such a feeling? Li Ang seemed always to think very clearly; how did he cope?
Zoe wanted to tell him all her feelings, but before that, she had to solve the current problem.
Hedaya...
The young girl silently invoked the power she used to communicate with Star Souls, calling out with all her might.
She repeatedly called out the Star Souls’ names, not knowing how many times she repeated, when suddenly it seemed that something noticed her.
Elated, the young girl reached in that direction, but the next moment, an endless crimson surged forth. It was both like sharp things splitting everything and like corrosive forces gnawing at everything.
She immediately backed away, avoiding it, with starlight around her becoming active at this moment, surging forth as if they were mortal enemies of the crimson color, clashing fiercely with it.
After the starlight flickered, endless thunder exploded within, repelling the cursed demon power even inside the Star Soul.
Zoe suddenly felt herself soaring up rapidly, and when she regained her senses, she was already within the Torrential Sword Realm.
Her infiltration was pushed out.
"How’s it going?" Othella nervously asked beside her.
Zoe quickly surveyed her surroundings; it was still as before, with the Torrential Sword Realm stably existing as if not much time had passed.
Noticing what she wanted to know, Meimei explained to her: "You used about ten minutes."
In the inner world, the speed of information passing by is faster than the outside world. She had experienced this before, but having penetrated so deeply and for so long, yet only this short time had passed, she was somewhat surprised.
"How is Lady Hestia?" Othella asked again.
Zoe came back to her senses: "She...I don’t know; it seemed she responded to me."
After savoring the final feeling, she felt that it seemed Hedaya sent her out, otherwise those demonic powers would have affected her.
The solidified lava underfoot suddenly shattered, and the giant bull in front raised its head.
Everyone within the domain immediately looked toward it. The giant bull’s eyes still gleamed with brutality, opening its vast jaws to bite at Zoe in front of it.
The young girl instantly manifested into the Celestial Maiden Stance, borrowing the airflow to drift backward, while Meimei controlled the rain curtain to fall, tying around the Divine Bull’s neck like a ribbon.
The giant beast moved as if a volcano rose in a world of torrential rain. As its blood flowed again, scorching heat once more enveloped this space.
After backing away, Zoe could only switch to the Ice Wolf Stance to cope; otherwise, even a bit of leaked heat would be enough to cause her skin to fester.
"Is this really going to work?! If not, I’ll let it loose!"
Meimei didn’t hold back anymore, part of the rain curtain restraining the Divine Bull, while another part integrated into the Sword Qi, transforming into sharp, attribute-less blades stabbing at the giant beast.
The attacks within the domain delayed the Star Soul, who was about to trample with its front hooves on the ground, but if allowed to start running, the domain painstakingly supported by the girl would instantly collapse.
Zoe knew Meimei’s intention. If their actions failed, she would have to call Li Ang and Farina together to kill Hedaya, ending her madness.
Just then, firelight lit up around Othella in the sky.
With the concentration of the rain curtain, the rain affecting her and the Purgatory Spirit weakened, and the Flame Cloak behind Othella continuously extended, one after another Purgatory Spirit emerging from it.
The usually timid young girl gritted her teeth at this moment, with the Purgatory Spirits sharing her sentiments.
They intended to do what they could to stop Hedaya, hoping she would find salvation.
Meimei slightly shook her head; she didn’t think the actions of these young girls would be useful, but said nothing, focusing all her efforts on suppressing the Divine Bull to buy them time.
