Soren’s expression was grim.
He was enveloped in a cold murderous intent, which made Vivian and Lilian beside him nervously grip his hand. Throughout, Soren had always cared about those around him. Although Lulu Meow’s status in Modo was not high, she was one of the earliest members to enter the core circle. She was Vivian’s partner and maid, and Soren had long acknowledged her as an important part of their group. Yet now, such a core member, especially a minor girl, had secretly been planted with a divine seed, turning her into a tool for a deity’s resurrection.
This was nothing short of a provocation of Soren’s bottom line!
Soren immediately locked onto several suspicious targets in his mind. He turned to Vivian and said, “You go out first. I need to find out who planted the divine seed on Lulu Meow.”
Vivian and Lilian obediently exited.
—”Divine Form!”
Then, Soren was enveloped in golden light, and he directly pressed his hand against Lulu Meow’s forehead, after which his consciousness instantly invaded her mind.
Three powers of divinity appeared before Soren’s eyes.
The first came from Lady Silver Moon; this was a divine blessing that was directly conferred upon Lulu Meow.
The second came from Vivian; it was a bestowal of power. After obtaining the power of the Demon God of Fear, the little girl had granted a piece of divinity to Lulu Meow, intending to help her become a demigod.
The third power was the most hidden and coiled around Lulu Meow’s soul.
The issue lay with this third power of divinity, which Lulu Meow herself was completely unaware of. It had been quietly planted at some point and, rather than being a bestowal, it was more of a sinister technique and curse. Its purpose was to use Lulu Meow’s soul and body as nourishment to ‘rebirth’ whenever some being died.
“Goddess of Cats and Dance!!!”
Soren said these words through gritted teeth, and his expression immediately turned very grim.
It was undeniable that he was not on friendly terms with this goddess. In order to ensure her safety, he had even informed the Love Goddess to take her back. However, it seemed that this goddess of the chaotic faction had taken no heed and had secretly planted a divine seed in Lulu Meow, intending to use her as a potential resurrection tool in the future.
Firstly, Lulu Meow was an exceptionally talented cat girl.
Secondly, the divine profession of the Goddess of Cats and Dance fit perfectly; Soren was sure that she had had clandestine contact with Lulu Meow and had left a seed on her using some kind of secret method before being taken away.
This goddess probably had the idea of keeping a fallback, but considering the current situation where the seed had been activated…
The Goddess of Cats and Dance seemed to be in trouble!
“Serves her right!”
Soren sneered, pouring his divine power into Lulu Meow’s soul, muttering to himself, “If you don’t court d*ath, you won’t d*e! How can something go wrong after being brought back by the Love Goddess? Seems even heaven can’t save you!”
At this point,
Soren’s remaining slight goodwill towards the Goddess of Cats and Dance had completely evaporated. Without hesitation, he transformed into divine form, first erasing the divinity conferred by Lady Silver Moon, then suppressing the divinity bestowed by Vivian. Finally, he extracted Lulu Meow’s soul and carefully dispelled the divine seed atop it. The power level of the Goddess of Cats and Dance was far inferior to Soren; removing the seed was not difficult. However, after thinking of something, Soren paused and instead began to suppress the divine seed.
“High Priest!”
Soren halted everything, directing his thoughts towards the temple, instructing, “Immediately send someone to gather information related to the Love Goddess and the Goddess of Cats and Dance!”
“Understood, my lord,” came the voice of the High Priest.
Soren opened his hand and walked out of the room. Vivian and Lilian were anxiously waiting outside. As soon as they saw him emerge, they asked, “How is Lulu Meow?”
“She’s fine for now.” Soren nodded and said, “Perhaps misfortune can be turned into good fortune!”
Since the Goddess of Cats and Dance acted without any boundaries and dared to lay hands on his people, Soren would not hold back.
If nothing was wrong on her end, it would be fine, but if the Goddess of Cats and Dance had indeed perished, Soren would absolutely not allow her to be resurrected. Not only would he prevent her resurrection, but he also planned to use the seed she left behind to transfer her divine profession to Lulu Meow.
This was highly likely to succeed.
Under normal circumstances, a divine resurrection vessel must have certain characteristics, with many deities placing their resurrection vessels on elects.
Now that Lulu Meow had been left with the divine seed, it meant she could become the vessel for a deity’s resurrection and inherit the divine profession of ‘Cats and Dance’. In this case, as long as Soren destroyed the goddess’s soul during the resurrection process, the divine profession would automatically transfer to Lulu Meow.
For Soren, who wielded the professions of slaughter and d*ath, he had at least a seventy percent chance of success!
Time passed slowly.
Around the afternoon, the High Priest sent over a piece of intel and footage.
It showed a land riddled with scars, looking as if it had been bombarded by a swarm of missiles; the High Priest calmly stated, “There are currently no messages related to the Goddess of Cats and Dance! However, just yesterday, the Love Goddess and the Lady of the Night had a major battle in the northwestern wilderness. The two powerful goddesses flattened over a dozen peaks during their fight, and the area within a ten-kilometer radius has been turned to ruins by the shockwaves of divine power.”
Indeed.
The Goddess of Cats and Dance had caused her own demise, and trouble had finally come.
This goddess had previously fallen into a trap set by the Lady of the Night and nearly met her end; she was pulled back by the Love Goddess, but it seemed she could no longer restrain her self-destructive nature, and trouble had ultimately arisen.
If you don’t court d*ath, you won’t d*e!
Her chaotic nature seemed to compel her to attempt dangerous actions, and now it looked like she was on the verge of d*ath.
The reason she hadn’t completely died yet was that she had left herself a fallback; there was still the divine seed on Lulu Meow. If Soren had not noticed anything unusual, it was likely that this goddess would soon occupy Lulu Meow’s body and soul, ultimately receiving her memories and flesh without anyone knowing, and then substitute and lurk beside Soren.
“Hmph!”
Soren waved his hand to dismiss the images, turned, and said to Vivian, “Protect me! I want to completely eliminate the hidden dangers on Lulu Meow!”
Soren no longer had the slightest sympathy for the Goddess of Cats and Dance. He directly entered the room, scooped up Lulu Meow’s petite body, and then sat cross-legged, placing Lulu Meow on his lap. He then lowered his head, resting his forehead against hers.
—”Soul Projection!”
A pale golden soul projection emerged from Soren’s body and transformed into a stream of light that entered Lulu Meow’s body.
In the next moment!
An open mental space appeared, just like the battlefield Soren had once entered, the one that trapped Vivian’s soul.
The Demon God of Fear had used a mental space to trap Vivian’s soul back then, which caused the little girl to sleep for a long time. Now, the Goddess of Cats and Dance was employing the same method, but the difference was that Soren saw Lulu Meow sleeping, her mental energy was far inferior to Vivian’s.
“Who!?”
A terrified female voice sounded, and then a charmingly tall figure materialized.
Goddess of Cats and Dance – Siris!
This goddess ruled over the domain of charm and possessed an incredibly alluring appearance, but at this moment, her face was a bit pale, for upon seeing Soren, she realized that all her plans had been exposed.
From the very first moment she laid eyes on Lulu Meow, she had sensed the astonishing talent this little cat girl possessed.
Due to the Saint’s Cataclysm, she had secretly left a fallback on Lulu Meow and, relying on Lulu Meow’s inherent affinity for her, planted a divine seed in her, with the purpose that if she encountered any trouble in the future, she could rely on Lulu Meow to be resurrected.
Once the Saint’s Cataclysm passed, even if her identity was revealed, Soren would hardly be able to do anything to her!
“Indeed, it was you!”
Soren’s expression was cold as he waved his hand, and a silver-white stream of light transformed into a curved blade. He glared at Siris in front of him and said in a deep voice, “Goddess of Cats and Dance! You actually dared to lay hands on my people! You really are bold and reckless!”
“Y-You, Lord of Shadows!!!…”
The Goddess of Cats and Dance – Siris looked at the approaching Soren, her fair face immensely pale. She hurriedly said, “D-Don’t make a move!…”
“I’m willing to submit to you!”
“Think about it! She is just an ordinary cat girl! Just a mortal!”
“As long as you are willing to help me resurrect!… I am willing to swear the Oath of the River of Underworld to you!… I am willing to submit to you!… I am willing to give you everything I have!… including becoming your servant!…”
“Isn’t that more valuable than the current cat girl before you?”
The Goddess of Cats and Dance – Siris knew one thing very well.
That was, she absolutely had no chance of winning against Soren. She was merely a deity with weak divine power, while Soren possessed medium divine power. Soren’s rise had come through bl**d and carnage; many gods had met their ends at his hands.
And none of her divine professions were combat-oriented; once a fight broke out, it would just be a matter of her being suppressed.
Without hesitation, Siris offered up her greatest bargaining chip.
In her view, no matter how one regarded Lulu Meow, she was still just a mortal, whereas she was at least a goddess, far surpassing the little cat girl in both value and beauty. If Soren was a smart evil god, he should realize whether a submissive goddess was more valuable or a cat girl as a mortal.
Siris displayed her beauty and allure as much as possible and tried to put on a pitiful appearance. She believed no evil god could refuse a goddess who was as beautiful and capable as she was.
However!
Soren calmly replied to this unduly tempting offer, “I refuse!”
“You have crossed my bottom line!”
A chilling flash of light appeared.
Accompanied by a surge of divine power descending from the heavens, Soren’s domain shattered the mental space, transforming into a golden blade of light directed at the soul of the Goddess of Cats and Dance before him.
Soren was not unfamiliar with handling goddesses.
If the Goddess of Cats and Dance thought she could soften Soren’s heart and make him abandon Lulu Meow in favor of her, she was woefully naive!
