64 . Intruder (2)
When Stella saw Ain’s condition, she looked so angry that even veins stood out on her forehead.
“You… !”
Cassandra stopped Stella with her hand outstretched, then opened her mouth in a teasing tone.
“Didn’t I tell you not to move? If you moved even a little, the body of the precious person you call your father would be shattered. Well, it’s okay to test whether you’re fast or I’m fast.”
As Cassandra clenched her fists, her snake’s tail wriggled little by little, tightening Ain’s body. Although she has lost her mind, a moan tinged with pain flows from her child’s mouth, and her face distorts in proportion to it. Stella stopped her body from moving and clenched her fists.
Seeing this, Cassandra thought that she had taken the initiative, and a triumphant smile appeared on her face.
Stella struggled to part her lips, still glaring at Cassandra.
“What do you want?”
“I want to talk to you first?”
I don’t have anything to say to that trash, but now that Ain was in her hands, there was nothing I could do. Stella lowered her fist and looked Cassandra straight into her eyes. Taking that series of actions as her acceptance, Cassandra spoke with a more relaxed attitude than before.
“By the way, I was surprised. I didn’t know that guys called gods could act so proudly. I’ve heard that in the past, gods were disappointed with humans and all disappeared.”
Stella twitched her lips as if she was about to say something, but Cassandra didn’t give her a chance to speak and continued on her own.
“Well, there’s no way I could ever lose to an ordinary elf like that, right? That strength that cannot be expressed in words is understandable if you drink it.”
Stella cut her off curtly at what seemed like a long story.
“Let’s get straight to the point, right?”
I wasn’t a person who could afford to listen to that woman more. Cassandra shrugged her shoulders, and as Stella hoped, she got right to the point.
“By the way, would it be possible if the guys called God favored only one human? That’s against equity.”
Right after she finished speaking, Stella’s eyebrows twitched upward. There was no end to human selfishness. They long for them when they need them, and when they don’t need them, they throw them away as if they were throwing away a devoted partner. Now, why do they show favoritism? A god who lost faith could not exist, and it was Ain who saved them. Of course you have no choice but to show favoritism, right?
Stella let her anger go inside, looked at her floor and let out a deep breath. Although her insides were seething with rage, Stella was not the type of person who lacked self-control to the point that she acted emotionally. She says she’s rounding her, but she’s the one thing she wants after all.
“Yes, I admit it. You are smarter than any other human I’ve ever seen. So, I can roughly guess what you are aiming for.”
A story floating around like a kind of fantasy among humans, especially those who seek wisdom. No, it’s an old relic that few people know about anymore.
A legend that says that humans who are favored by the gods, who are chosen by them and unite with them, can claim everything, including wealth, honor, and overwhelming power.
However, Cassandra soon realizes the ideal.
“Wait… How do you know that?”
In the words of the god who lost his name, it was truly devastating.
Disappearance of all memories and records and loss of powers.
Could she understand the wisdom that the gods imparted to humans?
The answer is impossible.
Stella slowly approached the bewildered Cassandra, as if to pronounce her sentence, and opened her mouth.
“And a man who covets wisdom for himself is arrogant. Unfortunately, that has never changed since ancient times… It is an immutable truth.”
“Ooh, don’t move!”
Just when Cassandra is about to give the snake an order! With a cheerful sound, Stella snapped her fingers.
With that short sound, countless holes were pierced in the body of the snake that had bound Ain, and he lay down on the floor.
“Do you think I stayed quiet because I thought I wouldn’t be able to save my father?”
“Why did you hurt your dad like that in order to say something great?
Stella stood about five paces away from Cassandra, then opened her mouth slowly.
“For Elia, she will regret not dying that day.”
A bewildered expression was evident on Cassandra’s face as she lost her familiar in an instant.
After she suffered humiliation from Elia, she couldn’t even lift her hand.
It was her own masterpiece, which she obtained after putting her heart and soul into remodeling all kinds of monsters while staying in her magic tower.
That such a familiar died at the beck of a hand?
I couldn’t understand.
Even if it rots, it is said to be deadly, and even a god who has lost his memory will acknowledge its strength, but it must not have fully bloomed yet.
He thought that if he had studied repeatedly and developed his strength, he would have a chance to win, so he appeared in Daesoorim himself.
But what is this strength?
Stella looked at Cassandra who couldn’t say anything and said, shaking her hands as if she was blushing.
“What, are you just this surprised? Isn’t it?”
Cassandra, who finally came to her senses, raised her voice as if arguing with her Stella.
“A god whose name has been forgotten, it will take a long time to regain his divinity and power… !?”
Cassandra’s plan was to take her subhumans as hostages and accept the powers of the four gods who had not yet regained full power into her own body.
However, everything in the world did not go according to one’s will.
“That’s true, but it doesn’t apply to me.”
“Because among us, I was the first to regain my godhood.”
And humans are just beings who always play on the palm of God.
Cassandra screamed at Stella’s death sentence as if in a fit of rage.
“Yeah, but there’s no way you’ll be this strong already!? In the meantime, I’ve been watching through the familiar. But other guys are like this… !”
“Olivia, Noah, and Elia couldn’t remember properly yet, so she had that kind of power,” She only vaguely felt, but… I am different.”
After her words, Stella’s mood changed.
Like her other sisters, tattoos don’t appear on her body or disappearing names come out of her mouth, but a sense of intimidation that overwhelms them begins to flow through her body.
The far-distant past that dares not be counted by the number of humans.
A space of nothingness where not even time passes. There was only a throne that could intervene in the world of humans.
Within it, numerous gods were born, and it was a daily routine for dozens, hundreds, and thousands of gods to risk each other’s lives and fight to occupy the throne.
An era of chaos and warfare, where thousands of gods disappear every day.
There was no sign of the end of the bloody, flesh-splattering battlefield.
Until she showed up.
In just one day, it was the time when she knelt down before her all the gods equal to the number of stars.
The war of the gods, which showed no signs of ending, ended with their blood.
The one who fought alone with those who formed a group, peaked with overwhelming force, trampled the corpses of the defeated and reigned.

For a long time, the only demon who sat on the throne of the highest heaven that no one could reach.
Toshin, Stella.
Now, her malice was directed at a mere human.
“Go.”
I am simply assuming a posture and giving strength, but simply by doing so, the surrounding space begins to distort severely.
The place where Stella, who is bending the space arbitrarily with her overwhelming power alone, is soon distorted and confuses the senses of everyone around her.
As time passes, the severely distorted space inevitably affects the flow of time, and Cassandra could not perceive the simple scene of Stella taking a single step with her own vision.
He couldn’t even scream as he wanted.
Cassandra couldn’t help but stare blankly at the blade of Stella’s hand that had pierced her abdomen without even realizing it.
At the same time, Cassandra realizes.
That humans who have crossed the throne of God will only fall to the ground in the end.
There was no space for humans to set foot on the land of the high heaven.
In the end, humans who coveted arrogance were punished by the gods, and nothing happened except for him.
But there was only one corner that she believed in.
Known as the strongest among existing humans, a man who wanted to rise to the pinnacle of this continent even at the cost of his all.
Cassandra held Stella’s wrist with her trembling hands, and her fishy smile crossed her face.
“I didn’t come all this way alone either.”
As soon as those words were finished, the space split, and a red flash reminiscent of blood separated Stella and Cassandra.
