Chapter 999 Against a Goddess

Chapter 999 Against a Goddess

Almira is making strides on the Tree of Life with the. After we went under one of its huge roots, Almira made the mansion enter one of the holes that is currently present on one of the roots of.the Tree of Life. It was very bright like it is daytime inside when we entered and even the surroundings inside the mansion is filled with lights.

It feels serene and the holy power currently present in the area is overflowing that even humans who are not sensitive to it can feel its effects. One thing is for sure, the tree is mystical enough that it upholds it's reputation as one of the trees that are being sought out by everyone.

But I am skeptical. Is the tree of life really a wish granter? Or perhaps it is only something else and the people and creatures who have experienced the effects of the tree misunderstand the real power of the tree and interpret it as a wish granter?

But despite those doubts, I do hope those things being spread are real things and not just something that are being made. After all, if it turns out to be fake, then what will we even do against the Goddess of Life after that?

We continue to move and since the interior of the tree is still extending quite far. And although Almira is leading the mansion to the tree's deepest place, we don't know whether we are ascending or are we just circling around. With the bright surroundings not helping with our case, it is hard to even know which area is which and where we came from.

"Almira-san, where are we anyways?" Riko asked.

"Yeah, I apologize for not saying anything. I will tell you all guys, this is the interior of the Tree of Life. It is the rite of passage to all the ones who should be guided and the ones who should be blessed by the tree to use this passage to seek access to the power of the Tree of Life."The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin

"A passage?" Pandora tilted her head.

"That's right. Most people who have been chosen by the tree of life will need to pass through this place and accomplish the trials it presents that will hinder the progress of everyone to the final objective."

"Wait, wait. How come you know all of this, Almira? You are also quite clueless like us before. How come you suddenly have some idea on where to go?" Renatta started to get suspicious.

"That is something I cannot answer at the moment. The only thing I can say is that, my task is to safely deliver all of you to the last destination and see all of you succeed on this endeavor."

After saying those words, she went silent once again and no matter how much we try to talk, she does not respond. We can only give up in the end.

...

...

Due to how long it is taking us, we started to have some leisure time with everyone by doing some tabletop games and some other things that would allow us to stave off boredom while we are being transported.

I changed the Devourer's form into a dual handgun and proceed to shoot the woman before us. It doesn't matter if she is the valuable and deep personality goddess that everyone is worshipping of.

"Get off the altar now!"

BANG BANG BANG!

The goddess of life felt the bullets piercing through her. She looked behind her and saw us gathered and ready to die to deal with her.

She looked at us for a few minutes until her eyes went wide after seeing me. She grinned after that and started laughing. She then glared at us with the sinister smile on her face.

"I see now. The Death's Favorite and the final priestess of the Death. I never expected that you lot would manage to get here despite being useless."

Queen Tanya frowned and got angry as she readies her scythe and pointed it to the grinning Goddess of Life.

"How did you know I was the final priestess of death? Are you the reason why everyone has disappeared?My parents and my former friends?"

The Goddess of Life smiled. "How should I know? With how insignificant the life of humans who decided to worship death herself, why would I try top remember their names even?"

lightsnοvεl Queen Tanya is ready to attack but I stop her from doing so. "Don't stop me, Manato. If not for her, things wouldn't be this hard for me and my sister."

She didn't wait for us to attack and Queen Tanya took the initiative to fight against the Goddess of Life. Leaping into the stage, Queen Tanya swings her scythe to the Goddess of Life who didn't even bother to dodge but instead, let her do so.

Queen Tanya didn't hesitate to swing her weapon and cut the Goddess of Life.

Swish!

"Guhk! Hak!" Queen Tanya stopped as she throws up blood. Not only that but there is a huge gash of sliced wound on her chest area...like she got sliced by her own scythe.

"Nice try priestess. However, you are not ready to fight me which is fortunate for me as that is enough for me to easily deal with you and your companions."

With a single snap on her fingers, everyone we t down and collapsed. No one moved and everyone has gone silent. The only one who remained standing is me which caused the Goddess of Life to get shocked by the result.

"Wow, so you are unaffected by my soul harvest? No wonder you didn't die."
