Chapter 1004: Cooperation (2/2)
”What in the world is inside Aethernia anyway?” Han Shuo asked.
The three's expressions changed. Nestor whispered, ”It's something that can make a new Creator, if the Goddess of Destiny's guess is to be believed. Regardless, we will definitely strive to fight for it.”
So it turned out that they weren't only rebelling for their lives. That was their true goal after all. He seriously considered their offer and said, ”Where does the Goddess of Destiny stand on killing me after Aethernia opens?”
Cratos made an odd smile. ”Hahaha... She was the one who suggested it!”
Han Shuo's heart sank as his expression grimmed. After a while, he nodded and said, ”Alright, I will work with you.” He didn't expect that she would be the one to suggest it. Based on his observations on the auras and expressions of the three, they were telling the truth.
”Haha, you really agreed so easily?” Cratos said.
”If I can't even take on Amon alone, I won't have a chance against all twelve of you,” he said with a shrug. He knew that no matter who obtained that item that would make them the new supreme god, their first target would be him anyway. But if he could avoid being killed right after Aethernia's opening and manage to enter it, he might yet stand a chance.
”Alright. Let's discuss the details then,” Amon said. They proceeded to refine the agreement including the fact that the Fringe would be joining the battle of the gods and how they would deal with the others when Aethernia opened up.
......
Meanwhile at the center of the Shrine of Destiny, the goddess stood in front of a starry mirror. She shot a white beam into its center, causing the stars within to explode and turn into nebulas. The debris gathered and formed a new plane containing various energies. When some light from the depths of the universe touched the plane, life was born.
The destruction and rebirth of a plane along with life and death could be seen through the mirror. All of a sudden, thin white lines began to connect the various lifeforms that could be seen through the mirror, allowing their souls to resonate.
With tug on a string, she caused a foreign lifeform to emerge. His birth, growth, sickness and death could all be seen unraveling at a speed visible to the naked eye. Nothing could elude the Goddess of Destiny.
As if she was handling fine artwork, she carefully tightened the thread around her fingers and gave it a tug, breaking it. The lifeform connected to the thread died suddenly before a white light exploded from the goddess's hands and enveloped all the threads. The threads had vanished, leaving behind a blurry scene within the mirror.
It showed the Shrine of Darkness and Han Shuo, Cratos, Amon and Nestor discussing something. The four of them were completely unaware of this scrying ability of hers. They were currently discussing the battle of the gods, opening Aethernia and how they would work together.
Something flashed across her eyes as she watched. All of a sudden, she wiped the scene in the mirror away.
