Becoming a God Starts with Acting-Chapter 464: Agree to Cooperate
Cain paused when he heard Nanaβs words, then suddenly let out a faint, mocking laugh. "If itβs that, then it seems neither Leon nor I can make that decision." ππΏπππ°π²ππ§π π§π²π₯.ππ¨π
Nana was momentarily stunned by this. Even Leon couldnβt decide? Then did that mean there truly was someone standing behind Leon? Someone capable of forging weapons even more powerful than those crafted by the Dwarves?
Just then, the girl spoke again. "Then why didnβt you tell us a little earlier about the thing thatβs about to make the peace of the Land of Light disappear?"
By this time, Silvanus had already finished settling everything for Dorian. Nerio stood by the bedside, small hands resting on the edge of the bed, blinking as he looked at Dorian.
Silvanus couldnβt quite understand what Nerio was so curious about.
Perhaps because of the influence of the script he had written for them, Nerio genuinely liked Dorian quite a bit more.
Silvanus rubbed Nerioβs head and said softly, "Can you stay here and keep Dorian company?"
Nerio lifted his chin. "As long as I donβt have to see that pervert."
Silvanus: "...Alright." Though honestly, if Cain werenβt around and if Nerio were healthy, who would really be the troublesome one?
Nerio only knew how to dislike others. He never once thought there was anything wrong with himself.
Silvanus gave Nerioβs head another gentle pat before turning and leaving.
Outside, Nana still hadnβt spoken, only silently facing Cain. The tense atmosphere began to spread. Finally, Nana said in a low voice, "If the master of this place isnβt free today, then we can only arrange another time."
"How impatient," Cain said with a mocking smile. He propped his chin up, his gaze lazily sweeping over Nana. "But very cute. I like that kind of thing."
Asta, standing to the side, hurriedly bent down and tugged at Maraxβs hand. "Marax..."
Nick couldnβt help but sigh inwardly. Falling in love with someone so heartless really was this painful. Cain smiled as he looked at Asta. Before he could say anything, Asta quickly spoke up. "Donβt tease other people like that. They might not like it. Anyway, just tease me instead. I like it a lot."
Nick: "..."
Nana had nothing left to say. She had already turned around, preparing to leave.
But at that moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly rang out, followed by the soft clatter of jade beads colliding as the curtain was drawn aside. Nana instinctively turned her headβ
and then... almost completely froze.
She stared blankly at the person who had just appeared before her.
Brilliant golden hair, emerald-green eyes like the rarest of precious gems. The features of his face were no longer overly youthful, his expression no longer as vivid as it once had beenβyet it was unmistakably him... without a doubt.
The person she could never have dreamed of seeing again, even in her dreams. The person she thought she would one day forget, just as even that radiant seaside scene would eventually be buried by time. And yet now, that person... was standing right in front of her, vivid and impossible to fake.
"Sil... vanus?"
Nana spoke, only then realizing that her voice was so soft that even she herself could barely hear it.
She tugged at the corner of her lips, letting out a scoffing laugh. The hand hidden behind her back clenched tightly, her gauntlet seeming ready to crackβyet she felt no pain at all.
She looked at Silvanus, her gaze icy. "Silvanus, is it really you?"
This couldnβt possibly be a hallucination... right?
But this person was aliveβtruly alive? Where had he gone all these years? How had he hidden himself so thoroughly that not even the faintest trace leaked out, that no one could find him?
With her authority, Nana knew that Silvanus hadnβt truly been killed, but had vanished in Chaosland. Yet that was almost no different from real death.
But if it was no different from death, then who was standing in front of her now?
Had Silvanus crossed Chaosland? Like Lichina, had he returnedβand for what?
For revenge? To sow disaster, just as Lichina had done? To become the existence people whispered about, saying that he was Lichinaβs successor...
Silvanus knew that Nana was on Utafeaβs guest list, but he hadnβt expected her to seek out Leon, nor that they would meet again under circumstances like these.
It would indeed be somewhat troublesome if the Land of Light were to learn of his return. However, he merely looked at Nana and did nothing.
In the end, Nana was the one who spoke first. She curled her lips, her eyes devoid of emotion, and said in a tone that seemed almost mocking, "I think you donβt need to interfere with the Land of Light. Everything there will soon collapse anyway."
It would be best not to let himself be hunted a second time.
Silvanus looked at Nana, then suddenly let out a brief laugh. He walked over to the hostβs seat. By this time, Cain had already stepped aside, wearing a languid, gentle smile as he looked at Nana.
Watching this scene, Nana only felt it painfully dazzling. So all of these people were Silvanusβs subordinates?
At this moment, Cain also spoke up. "She came here to ask for help. She wants to restore peace to the Land of Light."
Hearing this, Silvanus raised his brow slightly. If the Land of Light were to lose its peace, then it could only be related to the Outer God.
"Perhaps I really can help you," Silvanus said casually.
Nana let out a scoffing laugh. She was not mocking Silvanusβs words, but mocking herself. Even knowing that Silvanus was an Undead, when she heard those words from him, her first reaction was not doubt.
She almost completely placed her trust in Silvanusβs heroic will, believing that he would save the world. That no matter what he had been through, Silvanus was still that young man who always moved forward with a kind and selfless heart. That he was still that hero...
"Please, have a seat."
At this point, Leon also stepped forward to invite Nana to sit down. It seemed that Silvanus was truly serious.
Nana was not someone who liked to hesitate. She quickly recounted everything that had happened in the Land of Light to Silvanus, along with her own intentions.
When Silvanus heard about the purification carried out by the Church, he immediately sensed something was wrong. He was certain that those civilians were now facing slim chances of survival.
After listening to the entire story, he spoke softly, "I will oppose the Church, but that does not mean I support or wish to revive the power of the Nobility."
Nana nodded. "Iβve never thought about that either. If this campaign succeeds, the disparities in privilege within society will disappear. Whether Nobility or ordinary citizens, everyone will have the right to learn magic. Magic books will no longer be the exclusive property of Nobility descendants. Tribute will be abolished as well. A single government will be established, chosen by the people themselves." After a brief pause, Nana added, "Of course, the pride of the light clans will not disappear."
She would fight for the glory of the light.
Her amber eyes reflected Silvanusβs figure as she repeated, "On this path, I need your help, Silvanus."
The two of them faced each otherβonce enemies, once mutually disgusted, once allies. Now, that history was about to repeat itself, and this time, they would be comrades.
Silvanus smiled faintly and nodded. "I will help youβfor you, and also for myself."
Nana pursued her ideals, and Silvanusβhe, too, had something he was chasing.
Outer God, this world will be the final battlefield for the two of us.
...
"Pope, another group has been purified. Soon, there will be no shadow creatures left that can harm the people of the Land of Light."
At this moment, Matthew was draped in a pure white long robe embroidered with beautiful gold patterns belonging to the Church. His brown hair had grown somewhat long, reaching his back, as though it hadnβt been trimmed in a long time. The youthful softness of his features had faded, yet the freckles on his face had not disappeared. Paired with his gold-rimmed glasses, he still looked like a kind-hearted mage who devoted himself wholeheartedly to the world.
The Pope was currently tilting his head back to gaze at the statue towering above. At some point unknown, the features of the statue had begun to resemble the contours of his own face.
A satisfied smile bloomed on the Popeβs lips. He raised both hands and laughed loudly. "I am the savior of this world, Matthew. Has the path leading to the city in the sky already begun waiting for me?"
Matthew smiled and bowed his head slightly. "Of course. After the Nobility vanish, the path to becoming a God will be wide open for you."
Matthew smiled and bowed his head slightly. "Of course. After the Nobility vanish, the path to becoming a God will be wide open for you."
