Saintess? Not Anymore! I'd Rather be a Destroyer-Chapter 113 - 99: Aurianna’s Determination

Eva’s sharp gaze scanned the holographic world map stretched out before her, her slender finger gracefully tracing the intricate outlines of each landmass with a sort of childlike curiosity. "Hmm, let’s see," she muttered, her voice laced with a pensive tone. "Twenty-six continents on this big blue ball Aurianna calls home. That’s quite a number."

Her eyes flickered over to the Southern Hemisphere, where a cluster of lands caught her attention. "Graias our current location, Nobolia, Talia, and even the leaf continent, all these down south," she listed, a grin tugging at the corners of her lips. "Those other lands are not so relevant for now. But they do seem particularly interesting. I’d love to explore them someday."

As if on cue, the screen materialized in front of her changed, depicting the world turning around in a slow, hypnotic spin. "So this means we’re dealing with a main world, huh?" Eva commented, tapping her chin thoughtfully. "Thirteen continents on land and thirteen in the skies. That’s quite a balance." She leaned in, studying the screen with an almost childlike wonder. Enchantingly, it showcased thirteen continents firmly grounded on land, while another thirteen ethereally floated amidst the skies.

Expressing a sense of wonder, Eva exclaimed, "It’s truly captivating how much this world holds within it! It’s the perfect sacrificial offering for Aurianna’s ultimate strength." With a sinister grin, she continued, "One day this world would be buried in a sea of white flames, so that Aurianna may awaken and become even more powerful!"

As Eva delved deeper into her files, she found out that there were thirteen gods in total. With a serious expression, she muttered to herself each deity’s name, "There’s the God of Light, Karo; God of Peace, Hebrew; God of War, Jagon; Goddess of Wisdom, Azarath; God of Demons, Diablo; Goddess of Nature, Mavia; Goddess of Beauty, Paige; Goddess of Suicide, Salvador; God of the Sea, Phils; Goddess of Lust Desire; God of Time, Barbados; Goddess of Games, Aina; and God of Death, Taros!" Eva was impressed and bewildered by the sheer variety of deities.

"And the god of all the gods, the one who manages all the gods and this entire world, the High god," Eva exclaimed, her voice resonating with intrigue as she absorbed the information displayed on her screen. Suddenly, an strange silhouette materialized before her, shrouded in a cloak of darkness, yet lacking the clarity she yearned for. The image appeared distorted, perplexing Eva and leaving her in a state of bewilderment. She exclaimed, "No clear image huh?" her voice resonating with intrigue as she absorbed the information displayed on her screen.

"The lack of information on the High god is quite concerning," exclaimed Eva, as she furrowed her brows while scrolling through the profile. "It’s safe to assume that the High god is male, but how come there isn’t a single image of him in this world?" she added, raising a valid point.

But Eva was not one to be deterred easily, with determination, she declared, "This doesn’t matter! My priority now is to fulfill my promise to Leila and Aurianna and create another world destroyer like Iris. And to accomplish that, sacrifices must be made, even if it means compromising on the gods of this world. No matter how hard that sounds, I believe with my unique training plan, I am confident that Aurianna and Leila would one day conquer their respective worlds!" Eva said with pride and the system screen watching her from the void space rolled its eyes at her.

As she continued to navigate through the screens, Eva stumbled upon a section depicting people of different races, each with their own unique characteristics. "Wow, look at this!" she exclaimed, impressed by the diverse range of races—"a total of 33! The possibilities are endless!" Eva grinned, excited about the prospect of exploring new races with unique inhabitants.

Eva’s eyes twinkled with excitement as she ran through the list of creatures that inhabited their world. "There are gods, Death Folk, Starlights, Floops, Elves, Dark Elves, Beast Men, Plants, Spirits, Vampires, Humans, Demons, Devils, Mecha, Dragons, Fairies, Sea Folk, Giants, Insectoids, Dwarfs, Goblins, Birdmen, Doppelgängers, Elementals, Ghosts, Undead, Slime, Oni, Phoenixes, Time Keepers, Heroes, Genies, and Valkyries. Phew! That was quite a list! It’s rare to find so many races on one planet."

"But know this?" Eva exclaimed with a grin. "Despite the large diversity of this world, there’s still so much to discover and explore!" Eva exclaimed, her voice brimming with excitement. Perched upon a floating white cloud, she gazed out at the large screen of the holographic image before her. "There’s so much to explore, and it presents the perfect opportunity for Aurianna’s growth. And that’s precisely what she needs – a chance to grow, to learn, and to become more powerful than she is."

Eva paused for a moment to gaze out at the breathtaking scenery around her – endless blue skies, glimmering lakes, and rolling hills as far as the eye could see, and she looked at the screens before her, "This world truly didn’t disappoint me," she murmured, partly to herself.

Lost in her musings, Eva reflected on the path that lay before Aurianna, her master and cherished disciple. "Initially, I believed Aurianna would need to destroy at least five minor worlds to become a world destroyer, reaching the pinnacle of godhood," Eva mused. "But since this is a main world, I’m going to make sure that she becomes a god and achieves her true potential. My masters Aurianna and Leila, I would definitely not let you down!" Eva stated with determination.

As the morning sun streamed through the window, its gentle rays bathed the room in a warm glow, casting a soft light on the scene within. Seated amidst a group of anxious maids, Aurianna’s grumpy expression seemed to set the atmosphere on edge.

The maids exchanged nervous glances, their faces etched with concern as they tried to decipher the cause of Aurianna’s discontent. It was evident that something had unsettled her, casting a shadow over the otherwise peaceful morning. The room seemed to hold its breath, awaiting her next words or actions, unsure of how to alleviate the tension that hung in the air.

Aurianna let out a deep sigh as she sat still while one of her maids brushed her hair. It almost seemed like her thoughts were elsewhere, and Eva couldn’t help but notice.

"Hey, what’s up with the long face, Aurianna?" Eva asked, curious about what was bothering her.

Aurianna hesitated for a moment, glancing around the room before waving her hand dismissively, signaling for all her maids to leave. "It’s Sunday, 15th of June today," she said with a heavy heart.

Eva tilted her head in confusion. "So what’s the big deal?" she asked, not fully understanding why Aurianna seemed so down about it.

"It’s church day," Aurianna replied, her expression growing even gloomier than before.

Eva couldn’t help but laugh at her friend’s reaction. "Oh, is that all?" she joked. "I thought something serious was going on!"

Aurianna rolled her eyes playfully, grateful for the momentary distraction. "It’s just that I’m not a big fan of ’that’ church, that’s all," she explained, finally feeling a little better.

Aurianna hesitated for a moment, and then added with disgust, "It’s just that I have to go to Paige’s church today." Her expression showed clear displeasure and Eva could tell that Aurianna was annoyed.

"A pity indeed," Eva shook her head solemnly.

"I don’t mind worshiping any other god but due to some family obligations, I have to go there," explained Aurianna.

Eva had a simple solution to this problem, "You know you don’t have to go to the church of Beauty, why not go to the church of the god of War?" she suggested.

Aurianna’s response was immediate, accompanied by a firm shake of her head. "Oh, I can’t do that," she replied, her voice laced with conviction.

Intrigued by her friend’s reluctance, Eva couldn’t help but ask, her curiosity piqued, "Why not? What’s holding you back?"

Auriannaa looked at Eva, still shaking her head, "How the hell am I supposed to make Paige jealous of my stunning beauty if I don’t grace her with my presence at church?" she declared, a self-assured smirk tugging at the corners of her lips.

Eva burst into laughter, thoroughly amused by Aurianna’s cunning reasoning. "Well, that’s certainly a sneaky strategy," she remarked with a playful wink, admiring Aurianna’s confident demeanor.

With Eva’s laughter and approval, Aurianna couldn’t help but hold her head a little higher, a sense of contentment filling her.

"Chilalala I would gain my Saintess powers back and explore the true potential, the head priest of the church of Sandeph told me," she declared, her eyes shining with a newfound resolve. However, as she spoke, a wave of memories crashed over her, flooding her with emotions tied to the Head Priest and the trials she and the church of Sandeph had endured together.

Aurianna’s expression shifted, a mixture of pain and regret clouding her features. "Deille... I need to see him," she muttered softly to herself, her voice filled with a tinge of longing. "I want to apologize so badly for not heeding his words. He tried to warn me, to protect me, and to save me, but all because of my own foolishness, stubbornness and stupidity , he couldn’t succeed!" Frustration welled up within her, causing her voice to rise in anguish as tears welled up in her eyes.
