BXBX NOVEL Chapter 227: Only Thing That Sustained Me
That kind of existence has since become merely a legend by now.
But, at this moment, Shien saw her. Saw this peerless goddess lying down in a field of flowers as she deeply slumbered.
However, that\'s not the thing that surprised Shien the most.
The thing that surprised Shien the most is that legendary goddess\'s looks.
"You two…"
Shien took a look at that slumbering goddess and then took a look at Nien with a speechless expression.
It couldn\'t be helped.
The Highest God Omnis that Nien mentioned looked exactly identical to her.
But when Nien stared at the goddess that was completely identical to her among the flowers, her eyes were cold, and even had a hint of hatred in them.
I know what you\'re thinking." Nien spoke tonelessly, "There\'s a reason for us looking identical."
Only, Nien didn\'t seem to want to say what that reason is.
And Shien could feel it too, that it\'s a taboo subject.
Thus, Shien could only suppress his confusion and instead ask something else.
"What\'s with her then?"
Given that the Highest God Omnis was deeply slumbering like that, it feels like something unbelievable has happened to her.
As Shien thought that, Nien instead ended up breaking out in laughter.
"You think that something happened to her?" Nien spoke sarcastically, "There\'s no way that\'s possible. She\'s the all powerful Highest God, the greatest and most peerless existence. Baring the Demon King Claudis, who else could do anything to her?"
"… Then why\'s she like that then?" Shien fell silent for a moment before asking, "Is she really just simply sleeping?"
The response to that question was a firm answer though.
"That\'s right. She really is just sleeping. And this sleep has gone on for a thousand years at that."
The sarcastic look on Nien\'s face not only didn\'t disappear, it even became more and more pronounced.
"In the eyes of that goddess, besides the Demon King Claudis, all else in the world are nothing more than something like a pebble on the side of the road."
"It\'s because she had created everything, that she ruled over everything. She could control all life and events with but a whim, and even the world itself is something that she can change with a snap of her fingers."
"Thus, she places no importance in anything. She won\'t seriously look at anything. The only thing that can actually get her attention is Demon King Claudis."
As she spoke, Nien\'s tone turned more and more resentful.
"Even though she had wanted to defeat the Demon King since she was born. To defeat Claudis and slay the only natural threat to her. But after she\'s reached her goal, she lost all interest in everything else."
"After loosing the only thing she cared about, after loosing her lone obsession, was there really anything in this world that she could create at a whim that\'s worth her paying attention to?"
"No, there isn\'t anything at all."
Nien turned to look at Shien.
"The result is that woman decided to slumber. She believed that this world no longer required her to continue, nor is there any need for her to interfere anymore."
"With that kind of thoughs, she haven\'t woken up once since the creation of the divine realm. She just continued to lie there, eternally existing alongside the world itself."
"Aren\'t you stunned? Aren\'t you speechless?"
"But that\'s the Highest God. This is the omnipotent Omnis. A true divine being beyond creation itself. She\'s completely different from us be it in thoughts or point of view."
"She really is something, right?"
As she got to this point, Nien\'s tone of voice has already gotten very strange.
It\'s like she resented something, but also that she was sorrowful for some reason. It made it that Shien really didn\'t know just what to say in response.
Shien only wanted to know one thing.
"Then, just why did you summon me?"
Shien asked the question that he wanted to know the most.
Rather than the unfathomable nature of the Highest God Omnis, rather than the relationship between Nien and that goddess, this was what Shien wanted to know more.
In response, Nien calmed herself back down and looked at Shien serenely. Then, she finally answered.
"I told you. I wanted you to defeat the Demon King." Nien said, "You might think that I\'m lying, but this is the truth."
"Truth?" Shien frowned as he spoke, confused, "But the Demon King has already been defeated. And it can\'t possibly be resurrected at that. Unless something were to happen to the Highest God Omnis, then she can never return to this world? Was that not right?"
"That\'s right." Nien nodded, but she then continued, "However, just because the Demon King cannot be resurrected, doesn\'t mean that a new one can\'t appear."
"New one?" Shien was stunned for a moment before his expression drastically changed.
He had basically guessed what Nien meant.
As expected…
"Someone is trying to create a new Demon King. Then they\'ll have the new Demon King replace the Old Demon King that can\'t be revived, take control of the demon race again, and then restart the war against the gods and mortals."
Nien so stated unambiguously.
"Do you know why I summoned you at this time?"
The reason for that is simple.
"It\'s because you have already made contact with this secret."
Nien\'s words instantly reminded Shien of that half centipede monster.
That monster. It can\'t be…
"Don\'t worry, right now, that\'s still just a monster is all. It won\'t become the Demon King." Nien first reassured Shien before continuing, "But if things progresses on, then even if a new Demon King wasn\'t born, the three worlds and races of the gods, mortals, and demons will all end up seriously ruined by those pulling the strings in the dark. In the end, the war that has ceased for a thousand years may very likely be restarted, thus threatening the world."
It\'s for that sake that Nien summoned Shien.
"Who\'s the one pulling the strings in the dark then?"
Shien immediately asked.
"I don\'t know." Nien shook her head, "I\'ve discovered this situation, but I\'ve not been able to discover who the ones orchestrating all of this is. I\'m only certain that they\'re definitely one of the Old Demon Faction, and their status within it is definitely not low either."
Shien\'s frown turned deeper and deeper.
The reason for that isn\'t just because of how sudden this all was. The greater reason was that Shien wasn\'t sure if he should trust Nien.
Of course, Nien had definitely already read that from Shien\'s mind.
Thus, she came before Shein.
Shien observed that unbelievably beautiful goddess as if trying to see through her mind.
However, just then, Nien reached out, grabbed Shien\'s neck, and forcibly dragged Shien\'s head down.
"…!?"
Shien\'s eyes went wide with a disbelieving expression of shock.
"Mnn…"
Nien had already closed her eyes as her alluring lips blocked Shien\'s mouth.
An unbelievably hot and exciting kiss ensued between Shien and Nien, giving the two of them the appearance of a pair of lovers in hot embrace.
It was only after some time that Nien finally pulled her wet lips from Shien. She stared at the still in shock Shien and grinned while blushing.
"Whether or not to trust me, that\'s for you to decide for yourself."
Nien quietly spoke.
"I just hope that you\'ll understand that you\'re the one that I\'ve waited a thousand years for, as well as being the only thing that sustained me."
With those final words, Nien waved her hand and the space around the area warped.
Shien then vanished from the temple like he was never there to begin with.
