Chapter 139 (2/2)

“Aha! The mark of the god of Darkness!” the young master exclaimed excitedly, as if she had discovered another world.

Claire wasn’t surprised at all that the young master recognized it, but was puzzled by her excited tone.

“You were actually chosen, hmm. What is it that makes you special?” the young master seemed to understand the meaning of the mark. She raised gaze, watching Claire suspiciously as she stroked her chin.

“You know the god of Darkness?” Claire asked, trying to probe for information. How would the devil girl know the god of Darkness? The Devil Realm and Human Realm were two entirely different worlds. Was it possible they intersected somehow?

“Pft! What does the god of Darkness count as?” the young master scoffed disdainfully. “If he appeared before me, I would beat him full of bruises.”

Claire was dumbstruck. Just how powerful was this girl? Did she really have the strength or was she just boasting?

“Pretty girl, humans have really strange beliefs. Sit down and let me tell you.” The young master sat down on the stairs and patted the spot next to her, indicating for Claire to sit down.

So Claire sat down obediently.

“You think the god of Light you humans worship is actually a god?” the young master laughed coldly.

Claire paused, staring fixedly at the young lord, not understanding what she meant.

“Gods, what are gods? They are really just the strongest among humans, an existence that just surpasses everyone else, standing at the peak! The only true gods of the Human Realm are the Mother Goddess and Father God. They created the Human Realm. The so-called goddess of Light and god of Darkness and such are all replaceable. The Sprite race was also created by the Father God and Mother Goddess. Their god of Sprites is really just the strongest of the sprites.” The young master’s calm explanation completely stunned Claire. She wasn’t able to say a word.

“The only reason why the god of Darkness would choose you is because of your soul. You soul is the perfect union of righteous and evil, light and darkness. If he offered your soul to the Mother Goddess, She would be very satisfied and might even switch the positions of the god of Darkness and goddess of Light.” These words had made Claire almost lose her ability to think.

Switch the positions of the god of Darkness and goddess of Light?

Make the god of Darkness worshipped by millions and the goddess of Light spurned by millions?

As this scenario appeared in her mind, Claire wondered why she felt such a scene was oddly satisfying.

“Does the goddess of Light know you have such a mark?” the young master asked as she stared at Claire’s right hand.

Claire shook her head slightly.

“That makes sense. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be standing here perfectly safe and sound. If the goddess of Light knew, she would use all her might to erase your existence.” The young master suddenly frowned at Claire. “Normally, the goddess of Light would be able to foresee this and win you over to her side before the god of Darkness discovered you.”

The young master’s message was clear. The goddess of Light would have either tried to win her over or she would kill her.

Understanding the young master was confused, Claire explained, “I am a priest of the Temple of Light.”

“Oh, of course.” The young master had a smug expression because her conjecture was proven correct.

Claire looked down at the mark on the back of her hand, frowning slightly. The next time she returned to Amparkland, she would inevitably cross paths with the Temple of Light. If the mark was discovered, what would happen?

“Pretty girl, want to play a game?” The young lord’s eyes slitted dangerously, a predator watching its prey as she stared at Claire.

Claire remained silent. She understood that from the very start, the girl from the Devil Realm was only treating her as entertainment. To her, Claire should be nothing.

However, Claire sensed something different from her words.

“What do you want to play?”

“It’s not fun if you’re discovered by the goddess of Light quickly.” The young master pulled over Claire’s hand and then, her finger raised, tapped the black mark on Claire’s hand. Instantly, the black mark started to become transparent at a speed visible by the naked eye until it disappeared!

“Don’t rejoice too soon. I cannot remove this. The only want to remove the mark is to kill the god of Darkness, but the god of Darkness won’t appear before me unless he’s looking for trouble. All I did was make the mark invisible so no one can see it.” The young master withdrew her hand and continued on with interest, “It will depend on you for how the situation shall enfold. Anyhow, you don’t seem like someone who’s going to wait patiently as someone else kills you.”

Of course I won’t!

Claire withdrew her hand. She stared at the back of it, which seemed to have turned to its original appearance, humphing coldly in her heart.

Everything the young master told Claire had shattered her original understandings of this world. Gods were not true gods, but the strongest among humans! What did this signify? If her strength reached the highest among humans, she could topple the goddess of Light!
