Snow answered Anderson’s question like that.
“Peh! Don’t try to fool me with those lies, I’m a dying man, can you bear to lie to me?”
Although Snow was calculating and seemed like a scheming whore that was only intent on climbing up the ladder, Anderson could tell she wasn’t that kind of person.
Snow must be hiding some secret!
Since Anderson knew that he didn’t have long left to live, it was a good thing he could resolve a large knot before dying so he decided to get to the bottom of it.
“Oh, you’re quite perceptive.”
Detecting his intense curiosity, Snow raised her brows while turning around, leaving Elona and walking towards Anderson by herself.
“Master, you…”
“Elona, don’t worry, just wait there for me.”
She gave a strong order and pinched the webs she shot from her finger tips and used it as her ‘eyes’ to feel her way around the dark room. She slowly walked towards Anderson then used her small hands to squeeze his chin, forcing him to look at her closed eyes.
“You, really want to know?”
“Yes, I want to know!” Anderson understood her intentions as soon as he saw her expression.
He would probably be silenced by her as soon as she tells him, she’ll definitely do something like that! But it’s already come to this, his life was worthless.
Since he was going to die anyways, if he could get a sincere response before he dies, then it was worth it!
“Snow, you work for the Church, I march to the death for the Venus Society. Obviously, our paths our different, but one of us is right! I believe, we will bring the world back to life! So I want to know Snow, what do you believe? What can it bring you?”
“… me?”
She gently squeezed his lower jaw and felt his pulse. Snow sighed and her tone instantly aged ten times.
What did she want?
Did she come too far and already forget why she set out in the first place?
No, she never forgot, because, that’s what she lived for.
“Anderson, I, want to make a beautiful world without any tragedies.”
“Hah? What did you say?” Anderson froze and went silent, then laughed out loud, “Hahaha, Snow, are you serious? No way, you’re actually an idiot? And a hopelessly idealistic idiot at that? Hahaha!”
“What’s so funny!?”
“Okay, okay, I’ll take your word for it… but I didn’t think that you would be more foolish than me. But Snow, have you ever though about it, even if you achieve your goal and create that beautiful world in place of the Goddess, what do you get out of it? Please don’t tell me that your goal is to become a god!”
“No, I’m not a god, just a normal human.” Snow clenched her teeth and seemed to be cornered by him as her voice began trembling, “Anderson, you really want to know the answer that badly?”
“… Hehe, okay, if that’s the case…”
Everything suddenly went dark in front of him, he realized that Snow immediately released millions of webs completely enveloping the both of them! In the tight space, the only thing he could see was the wall of tightly wrapped webs letting off an ominous dark purple fluorescent light.
Snow already wrapped several webs around Anderson’s neck, as it tightened, his face grew increasingly flushed and he could die at any moment.
“Anderson, there’s only one person in this world that knows my secret. This time, I’ll make an exception and tell you.”
Anderson listened with his ears perked and moaned in acknowledgement. Snow brought her face closer and did something that Anderson never thought she would ever do.
She, opened her eyes.
“My goal is simple, I…”
Because of the web wall, Elona couldn’t hear anything they were saying inside. After a while, the webs slowly dispersed, revealing a Saintess wearing white robes standing in the darkness.
“Master!”
“Hehe, I’m fine.”
Elona quickly rushed over and Snow just smiled at her rubbing her closed eyes, and pulled her to leave as if nothing happened.
What just happened?
What was the final answer Snow gave to Anderson?
Elona looked at Anderson curiosity and found that the fatty was asphyxiated.
But Elona noticed a small detail.
“He’s… smiling?”
Other than his slightly raised lips, it was as if she also heard a sigh.
That, was probably Anderson’s last farewell to the world.
“Snow, was he worth it for you to do that…”
“It was.”
Within the darkness, all was silent once again.
…
…
Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greedy, lust, gluttony, if humans possess the seven deadly sins, then surely they also possess the corresponding seven contrary virtues?
Like light that always casts shadows, like day destined to turn to night, even if heading bravely straight towards a beautiful world without any tragedies, you’ll surely encounter thorns and bumps on the way, right?
When she gave up everything, cutting through the thorns and finally obtaining what she desired, when she turns around and looks back at the things she had abandoned, will there be something that she can’t bear to leave behind?
…
The Holy City of Cadina
A certain secret room
“Anderson is dead, Saintess Snow killed him during interrogation. I think she’s a hindrance to our plans, should we…”
There were two men whose appearances couldn’t be seen wearing white robes having a secret conversation. They seemed to be people from the Holy Light Church, but the things they were discussing definitely was not something for qualified believers.
The so-called Venus Society.
“Hehe, don’t rush, Anderson was but a worthless pawn, Snow is also just a little girl that doesn’t know her place, there’s no need to fear… how goes of that matter?” The other person relaxedly said after hearing his report.
“Yes, everything is going as per the apostle’s instructions, the plan went very well.”
“Very good, with it, we can forge the strongest sword to end the sin! The apostle’s plan will proceed smoothly.”
“Yes, the only ones that can stop the original sin is us!”
“The enlightenment of sin and illuminate the world!”
“The enlightenment of sin and illuminate the world!”
