After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 105 - 18: The Person with the Radiant Brilliance
The amulet was placed on the Divine Throne.
Xi Mu stepped back, feigned contemplation for a moment, and sighed, "Now we have no way to make a statue of the Goddess of Life, so we can only use this amulet as a substitute."
In this world, a divine statue isn’t simply made by sculpting stone, on the contrary, there are extremely many considerations, and the entire process is very tedious.
To carve a divine statue, the most basic requirement is that the sculptor must be a believer of the god, followed by matching the god’s gender, and finally, there are stringent demands on the sculpting skills, requiring the statue’s appearance and aura to be as close to the god as possible.
Deliberate beautification is not allowed, nor is deliberate disfigurement.
It’s better to say, an accurate portrayal of the deity could maximally reveal their power and path to their believers.
After all, the appearance and aura of a god are also manifestations of their power.
And the slender waist and ample bosom of the Goddess of Life, as well as her almost all-encompassing tender motherliness, are the embodiments of her life power.
"Or... shall we go outside to pray?" Jed suggested, but the Ghostly Queen immediately opposed it.
"No!" Her expression was alert, as though afraid that Jed and Xi Mu might flee. Once the two of them left Doma City, it was likely they would vanish without a trace.
Seeing this, Jed smiled, not objecting, as he indeed had such thoughts. If the boss’s prayers were rejected and the Ghostly Queen couldn’t accept reality, thereby falling into madness, their situation would become quite bad.
If they could run outside to pray to the Goddess of Life, then even if the prayer failed, it would not pose a threat to their safety.
But obviously, the Ghostly Queen would never agree, fearing that they would run away and shirk their duties.
"Actually... apart from the meteor, I have many other valuable treasures hidden away," the Ghostly Queen floated in front of Xi Mu, seducing:
"As long as we go reincarnate, all treasures will be yours."
"There are many who want to seize the treasures," Xi Mu said with a wicked smile, which then turned gentle again.
"Don’t worry, we are now friends. Even if not for the treasures, I will find a way to help you break free."
If the Goddess of Life was not willing to forgive the sins of Doma City, and the Ghostly Queen fell into madness, he could only kill the Ghostly Queen for the experience.
With the power of death he possessed, he could forcibly guide the Ghostly Queen to death.
"...Thank you." The Ghostly Queen, slightly stunned, looked at the handsome knight before her with a gentle smile and said a soft thank you.
She inexplicably felt much more at ease.
Then, she revealed a secret.
"By the way, among the treasures hidden away are some forbidden knowledge left by the Creation Witch. I’ve altered some of the contents; if you practice it without the correct understanding, it can lead to very serious consequences."
"What consequences?" Jed asked reflexively, but saw the Ghostly Queen turn her head away and quietly explain.
"Incorrect practice will put the user into a ’mad’ state, harboring malice towards all life, and deviating from the category of humankind."
Having said that, she added another sentence. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"By the way, most of the correct interpretation methods, I... have also almost forgotten. You must definitely not try it."
"Understood." Xi Mu nodded, his expression very calm. He was neither shocked nor angry at the Ghostly Queen’s words.
After all, having been cursed and confined in Doma City for so many years, the Ghostly Queen was full of resentment. If she didn’t come up with some way to retaliate against the world, it probably wouldn’t suffice to vent her anger.
And now there was no time. On the walls of different churches within the city, there were a ton of modified magic from the Creation Witch.
It was likely that various forces within Doma City had discovered the tampered with magic of the Creation Witch.
"You... are really quite wicked," Jed grumbled, and upon hearing this the Ghostly Queen turned her head away, then proudly retorted.
"The knowledge of the Creation Witch is forbidden; it’s not meant to be practiced. If they insist on trying it, then who’s to blame if something goes wrong?"
It’s not an exaggeration, on this world, knowledge about Demons and Witches is strictly forbidden on an educational and national level, with no circulation or learning allowed.
But the stricter the prohibition, the more curious people become, trying different methods to seek out the power of Demons and Witches.
Jed scratched her cheek: "Well, you have a point."
In fact, she had been eager to try the magic left by the Creation Witch, but now she had completely abandoned that thought.
It would be terrible to become something neither human nor ghost.
"Clap~" The sound of clapping came, Xi Mu had started praying, appealing to the amulet of the Goddess of Life on the Divine Throne.
Jed and the Ghostly Queen also quieted down.
And at that moment.
A nun walked in slowly, with her hands folded in front of her lower abdomen, showing a very gentle smile under the gazes of Jed and the Ghostly Queen.
Then directing her gaze towards the praying knight in silver armor.
A few minutes later.
The darkness receded.
The damp and cold church was filled with an inexplicable presence; a gaze from the high heavens descended, altering the entire church.
Jed instinctively stepped back; where she had been standing, the floor sprouted greenery, and the plants emerged. The chilly air dissipated, turning into a warmth that made one feel comfortable, as if basking in the breezes of spring.
It was an extremely pleasant feeling.
The gaze of a deity had truly been bestowed.
The Ghostly Queen, excitedly covering her mouth, dared not make a sound, then realized she was not standing correctly.
