Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 633 - 597 The Words That Pierce the Heart

Returning to the inner city, Perfikot slept an entire day before recovering.

This was not only a drain on her energy but also a depletion of physical strength and mental spirit.

After all, it was a battle against the Divine; even though Perfikot was not the main force in the fight, resisting the corruption of the Goddess of Beauty and the War God was a heavy burden for anyone.

In fact, not only Perfikot, most of the knights who survived the previous battle were also psychologically traumatized, not to mention that most were heavily injured and needed time to heal.

The only one in a slightly better state was Sanderion, but she was also exhausted. After barely wrapping up all matters, she retreated to her laboratory, claiming she needed a good period of rest.

However, with Perfikot's awakening, Sanderion was still summoned by her to truly conclude the previous battle.

This conclusion did not refer to cleaning the battlefield and gathering the spoils, but rather handling the various aftermaths.

The spoils had already been gathered when they returned and were now stored in the warehouse of Windsor Castle.

Moreover, compared to these things, the subsequent impacts brought by the previous battle were the primary concern of Perfikot and Sanderion.

"Consecutive divine descents indicate that with the appearance of the White Star, the Ancient Gods are gradually returning to this world; and it's likely more troublesome than we anticipated." Sanderion, without any decorum, was eating voraciously in front of Perfikot like a starving ghost reincarnated, yet didn't forget to discuss serious matters.

Perfikot had a slight lack of understanding of her demeanor; although Windsor Castle was one of the few places in Langton with adequate food supplies and variety, Sanderion shouldn't be so undignified, right?

It's true that ordinary people in Langton can only eat compressed biscuits, but she's a demigod and a former president of the Alchemy Association; would she really lack food?

This made Perfikot think of this weird notion instead of handling serious matters first.

"Don't look at me like that! I haven't eaten much since yesterday, I'm starving!" Sanderion seemed to sense Perfikot's strange gaze, quickly explained: "After bringing you back yesterday, I went to sleep, only got up when you sent someone for me, and haven't eaten anything during that time. I'm about to starve!"

"If a demigod could starve to death, you'd be the funniest demigod death in history." Perfikot joked, but soon adjusted her stance to focus on the business at hand: "Regarding the outer city, do you think we should continue to clear out the Evil God Sect?"

The reason for asking this question was that Perfikot saw that if they forcefully eliminated the Evil God Sect, it would inevitably trigger divine descents, causing battles of the same scale as before.

Although she's indeed not afraid and wouldn't shy away from fighting due to war damage, she must consider the implications of continuing this battle.

After all, until now, only two sets of Godslaying Armor and Sanderion, along with her magic automaton Arulu, could fight against the gods.

Clearing out one base at a time naturally wouldn't be much of a problem.

But the problem is if two or more bases of the Evil God Sect simultaneously summon gods through divine descents, Perfikot's forces would immediately find themselves at a disadvantage.

The previous battle has already fully proved that the forces she currently commands can only handle one god-level enemy.

However, judging from this battle, aside from the Divine worshipped by the Evil God Sect, there are also subordinate gods, and seemingly more god-like creatures under them, showing that the gods are not a single entity but should be viewed as a complete force.

Therefore, in Perfikot's view, the fight against the gods might need to pause, improving their strength before considering battling the Divine.

"I think you've fallen into a misconception; the entire old world is so vast, the Ancient Gods aren't just returning in Langton." Sanderion seemed to understand more clearly than Perfikot, explaining to her: "You might not be aware, but the ancient temples and mythological era activities of the Ancient Gods were mostly concentrated in the core areas of the former Romulus Empire. Victory was considered a frontier of Romulus back then.

The reason you can see the Evil God Sect summoning the Ancient Gods in Langton is largely due to the Empire's becoming the world's strongest during the industrial era.

But from a mythological era perspective, the true places where Ancient Gods should descend are still the peninsula where the capital of the former Romulus Empire was located; that is where Ancient Gods cared about the most."

"So your implication is that the Ancient Gods won't overly focus on us but will pay more attention to the old temples?" Perfikot understood Sanderion's implication but frowned, disagreeing: "But even if the gods don't care, the existence of the Evil God Sect will still gradually attract the gods' attention. We might be fine in Langton, but once we're not in Langton, how will they fend off the Ancient Gods?"

"By relying on themselves!" Sanderion put down her knife and fork, solemnly looked at Perfikot, advising her: "You've done enough for them; you can't solve all their problems! We've already paved the way for them, the rest should rely on them, not have us continue solving their issues.

The problem of the Ancient Gods is indeed tricky; I understand your desire to solve it once and for all. But the issue is you can't solve it now, nor is it necessary for you to solve everything!

Let go and let them handle these problems themselves! You can't solve all their problems!"

Sometimes Sanderion couldn't understand Perfikot, feeling as if she had to resolve everything.

Although she had solved many issues and indeed appeared to have resolved almost all matters, Sanderion felt this wasn't good for others, at least not for humanity and the Empire. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

After all, one person driving an entire nation or era forward, no matter how capable, she would eventually be overwhelmed, and others would become useless because she resolved all issues.

But Perfikot showed no reaction, seemingly thinking Sanderion exaggerated.

"If you do everything, what are others supposed to do? Are they your pets raised by you?" Sanderion said in exasperation, seeing Perfikot not planning to heed advice.

Yet, this single statement finally brought some change to Perfikot's expression.
