After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 355 - 128: The Blessing of the Goddess of Life_3

And also severing Ahtal’s connection with the concept of life meant that the Goddess of Life completely abandoned Ahtal, which would make Ahtal stand firmly on the side of the Witch of Death.

This would likely cause the Church of Death to act without any reservations, evolving from their current semblance of humanity to a complete lack thereof.

"Then I must be the first person whom the Goddess of Life has deprived of her favor," Xi Mu chuckled, seemingly having made his resolution.

The Goddess of Pleasure wore a speechless expression, feeling helpless about this overthinking hero. With the broad-mindedness and loftiness of the Goddess of Life, it was unlikely she would overly concern herself with Ahtal’s deeds, whether it be Ahtal or the Witch, both were seen as life itself through Her eyes, merely part of countless beings.

It was merely that among the beings She created, there were one or two children who were particularly outstanding and rebellious.

"As for uniting with the Church of Death, I can accept that," the Goddess of Pleasure chose to change the topic, "provided that the Church of Pleasure is included in the list of non-attack targets, getting the same treatment as the Church of Life."

Xi Mu promptly responded, "Agreed."

To the extent of the Church of Pleasure, it would be a waste of time for him to make a move, and ignoring it posed no issue.

"Then the deal is sealed," the Goddess of Pleasure nodded in satisfaction, retracting the will that descended upon Babylon, having no longer any desire to communicate with Ahtal. Even though Ahtal looked handsome and she was tempted to use Babylon’s body to have an encounter with Ahtal.

However, the Goddess of Life was beside her true form, watching. If she extended an invitation to Ahtal, she would surely be reprimanded by the Goddess of Life.

Thus, she left very decisively.

"..." Xi Mu stood up, looking at Babylon, who had regained control of his body. After exchanging a glance, he left the Cathedral of Pleasure without hesitation, the two having lost interest in speaking.

He walked out of the Cathedral of Pleasure.

The sky was dim.

Not far away were Eden and the young mare in human form, sitting by the fountain and whispering to each other, their topic unknown.

"Didn’t I tell you two to go back to the hotel and wait for me?" Xi Mu approached them with a helpless smile, "I just came to take care of some minor business and would be back soon."

"Sleipnir wanted to stroll around the city," Eden answered, not directly stating that the young mare was worried about Ahtal’s safety.

"... Is that so?" Xi Mu glanced at the eight-legged horse, now back in its true form, and tugged at the corner of his mouth:

"Partner, do you dislike transforming into human form in front of me?"

"..." The young mare turned her head away. Initially, she didn’t mind, but Ahtal always made comments that were easily misunderstood, making her embarrassed to maintain a human form in front of Ahtal, lest he once again remarked, "Partner, I want to ride you."

That would make her terribly embarrassed.

"Never mind, as long as you like it, partner," Xi Mu said gently, then changed the subject, "Walk with me, I haven’t prayed to the Goddess of Life in a long time."

"Yes," Eden nodded lightly, smoothing her gown and standing up, accompanying Ahtal towards the Church of Life. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Unlike the small churches, the Church of Life existed in every city and remote village around the world, partly because the Goddess of Life is the oldest goddess and also because the power of the Goddess of Life... is very useful. It can not only make food more plentiful but also heal the body, providing people with basic life support.

Therefore, even in a place like the Pleasure Kingdom, the Church of Life’s presence exists.

Following the street onwards.

Street lamps cast a dim yellow light onto the two and one horse until they reached a bustling church exterior.

"Miss Magritte, is the child in my belly a boy or a girl?" a pregnant woman, clutching an embarrassed nun, inquired, "I don’t mind whether it’s a boy or a girl, I just want to make some preparations."

"Sorry, I haven’t grown to the point of knowing a boy or girl," Sister Magritte said with a helpless look. She really wanted to move to a small rural church. In a place like the Pleasure Kingdom, she felt she wasn’t a nun but a midwife.

She not only had to deal with pregnant women’s harassment but also faced secret paternity tests by some men, almost driving her to a mental breakdown.

"Alright then," the pregnant woman reluctantly let go, aware that the nuns of the Church of Life were not allowed to directly reveal the gender of the child in the womb or even conduct paternity tests. However, everyone knew that followers of the Church of Life could discern familial blood relations and determine the gender of unborn children.

So, there were always those who couldn’t resist seeking their counsel.

"Please take care to rest," Magritte said with a smile, then turned her gaze to Xi Mu and walked over with dignified steps, "Are you here for a check-up, or... to pray?"

"Definitely to pray," Xi Mu replied with a smile, "but it’s the first time I’ve encountered a nun of the Church of Life who asks about physical examinations."

"Perhaps it’s because the Pleasure Kingdom has many newborns," Magritte replied with a gentle smile, then glanced at Eden by the side.

When she first saw Ahtal and Eden, she thought a husband was bringing his wife for a medical check-up, to confirm a pregnancy.

"Follow me," she withdrew her gaze and led Ahtal into the Church of Life, contrasting the hustle and bustle outside.

The interior of the church was very quiet.

This was partly because there were fewer followers of the Church of Life in the Pleasure Kingdom and also because churches needed to maintain a quiet atmosphere.

Xi Mu approached the holy statue and began to pray, while Magritte, seeing this, also planned to leave the church and continue her overtime work.

However, just as she was about to turn around, her eyes widened in disbelief. She had witnessed... a divine favor.

Beneath the statue of the goddess, a man in silver armor received the favor of the Goddess of Life, his body emitting a Verdant glow.

This man in silver armor... who was he, and why had he received such a magnitude of divine favor.
