Chapter 1194 The Three Troublemakers Of The Temple Of Ten Thousand Gods [Part 1]
The Thirteenth Layer of the Abyss was in shambles.
Countless cracks could be seen in the sky, and a large portion of it had already collapsed.
The land had countless fissures in it, and the only place that remained standing was the mountain where Queen Rhiannon's castle stood.
The entire layer had also darkened considerably. Only Antero's burning eyes, as well as the eyes of the creatures that glowed in the dark, could be seen in the surroundings. Although the Thirteenth Layer's degradation had been put to a screeching halt, it still looked like a world that was about to meet its end.
Antero was the only creature that was preventing it from being destroyed completely, but all of that could change the moment he decided to attack Daniel and his cronies.
The Golem of Destruction was paying close attention to Dia's vital signs and aura. Although her presence was still as weak as a flickering flame, it still held strong and refused to be snuffed out.
Slowly but surely, a golden candle emerged from the baby's chest. Its light burned brightly amidst the darkness that surrounded it.
Dia slept peacefully without a care in the world as if the process of something very powerful and important to her being extracted from her body had no meaning.
Earlier, Queen Rhiannon heard a voice inside her head.
It was a childish voice telling her that everything was going to be fine, so she didn't need to burn her life force in order to save her daughter.
The voice also told her to let Daniel take the Pillar of Eternity from Dia's body, for the artifact would not serve the Pseudo-God even if it fell into his hands.
Queen Rhiannon didn't know from whom or where the voice had come from, but she felt that this voice was from someone who was on their side.
Because of this, she stopped Antero's attack and decided to trust the owner of the voice by telling Daniel that he could take the Pillar of Eternity from Dia's body.
Although she believed that Antero would do everything in his power to revive her and her daughter, it was still better if both of them could live without needing to have their current vessels destroyed.
Two hours later, the Golden Candle had been fully extracted from Dia's body.
All the fissures on the ground closed up as well, and the place where the parts of the sky fell transformed into a lake that shimmered like crystal.
With a wave of his hand, Antero once again sealed the Thirteenth Layer, excluding it from the grand battle that was about to commence between the Pseudo-God, who wished to become a God, and the Necromancer of Heaven, who had seen the battle in the Abyss from start to end.
Lux looked at the crystal ball that was being held by Cupid with a complicated look on his face.
Eiko, who was perched on top of his head, looked at the Dim Sum God, who was also perched on top of the head of a little girl, whom the Half-Elf labeled as "Red Riding Hood".
The Dim Sum God and the Baby Slime held each other's gaze and smiled.
The Dim Sum God thought that the Baby Slime was a kindred spirit who also liked to perch on top of people's heads.
On the other hand, Eiko was wondering if the Dim Sum God tasted good because it looked very delicious in her eyes.
While the two little ones were appraising each other, the Loli Goddess, Lily, was paying close attention to the Half-Elf, who now had a solemn expression on his face.
Lux was relieved that Queen Rhiannon and Dia were safe, but he also felt pressured because he knew that it was only a matter of time before Daniel appeared in their world.
Once that happened, a clash between them would be inevitable, and Lux still had no idea how he would beat Daniel in battle.
Seeing his expression, a smile crept up Lily's face. Unlike the mortal who didn't know how to fight against a Pseudo-God, who wielded the power of an Outer God, she knew how to give Lux a fighting chance.
This was also the reason why Eriol and Max allowed the three Gods to descend in Elysium.
The three Troublemakers were the only Gods within the Temple of the Ten Thousand Gods who could get away with breaking a few rules because of the connections they had with the other Gods.
Although they were not strong as individuals, the three of them combined could move mountains if need be.
And they would do just that.
Move a big mountain so that Lux could meet with someone, who might be able to give him the knowledge that would allow him to fight against Daniel, who wielded the power of an Outer God that could potentially destroy all of creation the moment it opened its eyes.
