Chapter 546: Chapter 489 Shael’s Temptation

All the deities were watching the grand battle of the gods.

However, the outcome of the battle was unexpected, mainly because it was too brief.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the Koutao Mermaid Goddess stayed within her Divine Realm, those three Grand Dukes of Hell could have turned the Water Elemental Plane into fish soup in vain.

Therefore, those deities who could potentially intervene hesitated and did not immediately take action.

After all, the fight hadn’t even started; intervening now would only make them cannon fodder. Helping the Koutao Mermaid Goddess was not supposed to be like this.

They still had a long time to wait until her Divine Realm was found and invaded by Hell. It could be decades once the battle started, right?

It would not be too late to act after confirming that Hell had no more tricks up its sleeve, that this was not a double act designed to trick them. Besides, with Talos watching, it was essential to first gauge the reaction of the Lord of the Storm, not out of fear but to be prepared.

But how did this madwoman end up running out of her Divine Realm?

Had this Mentally Ill Goddess always been this brave? Didn’t she see the three Grand Dukes of Hell here? Didn’t she see that overwhelming demon legion?

Even the Lord of the Dawn had to be fully alert, or he would have fallen.

Most of the deities couldn’t understand what had happened. Not many of them understood the origin of the Kuota Murloc, and they did not know the role played by the God of Alchemy here.

The Heart-stealing Demon Bone Whistle, which should normally not affect deities, produced a strong mental influence after being enhanced by the God of Alchemy.

The creation of the Koutao Mermaid Goddess originated from the unimaginable tortures experienced by this race, seeking mental solace and a direction for all their chaotic and painful outbursts.

If the Koutoa Murloc was mentally ill, the Koutao Mermaid Goddess was mentally ill several billion times over, to the extent that mental illness became her Deity Position.

Moreover, too many Koutoa Murlocs had recently escaped her control.

Those who had regained normal thought would no longer provide her with faith, significantly weakening the Koutao Mermaid Goddess’s power in a short period.

Her Intermediate Divine Power was unstable and close to becoming Weak Divine Power.

And just at this moment, the whistle sound, like a natural predator, broke through the blockade and struck directly at her Soul.

Just like the ordinary Koutoa Murlocs, the Koutao Mermaid Goddess was controlled by the pent-up hatred of countless years and charged out of her Divine Realm to annihilate all those "Heart-stealing Demons."

However, the Koutao Mermaid Goddess was not facing the Heart-stealing Demons, but the three fiercely watching Grand Dukes of Hell and the demon legion they brought along.

In an instant, the giant lobsters brought by the Koutao Mermaid Goddess were torn apart by the demons.

Even though this was the Water Elemental Plane, which was difficult for the demons to adapt to, the disparity between the two sides, whether in number or quality, was just too vast.

The Koutao Mermaid Goddess herself had lost her sanity, and at the moment the battle commenced, her body was pierced by Zariel’s Flaming Longsword, leaving a shattered wound that could not heal.

With just one strike, the Koutao Mermaid Goddess was severely injured, leaving no suspense in the ensuing battle.

The three Grand Dukes of Hell quickly captured the Koutao Mermaid Goddess and departed at a high speed, daring not to linger any longer.

By the time the other gods reacted, they had already left the Water Elemental Plane and returned to Hell.

The process was so smooth that even Talos, who had been looking forward to seeing the three hell demons being attacked by the other gods, did not realize what happened. Was it over already?

Was the Koutao Mermaid Goddess that useless?

Could it be that they were in cahoots, putting on a play together?

Not only did Talos think this way, but many other deities also doubted, considering the Koutao Mermaid Goddess also belonged to the Evil Camp.

In a dark depth known as the "Hall of the Lost," within a certain Divine Realm,

the pale-faced Dark Goddess Shael lay exhausted on a bed like the Milky Way, beside her, a tall man was holding Shael’s hand, transferring tremendous power into her body, healing her wounds from the punishment inflicted by Aeo.

If Amberser were here, he would recognize this tall man at a glance, he was the Deputy Guild Leader of the Elegy Poetry Society, Poet.

Once Shael’s complexion improved slightly, Poet withdrew his hand and said to Shael, "It seems Aeo does favor you quite a bit, the same mistake, and yet the punishment Rose received was much harsher than yours."

Shael did not respond to this comment, but just stared at Poet and said, "You actually came to help me, I thought..."

"Thought that I would bear a grudge against your betrayal and take advantage of your weakness to kill you?" Poet chuckled and continued, "I’ve long forgotten those things. You should know well that I now follow Yeg, who doesn’t like to dwell on such petty hates."

Shael remained silent, facing the man before her, she indeed owed him.

Because Poet was once her ally, an existence even more ancient than Shael.

In the initial creations by Aeo, before the birth of the goddesses of light and darkness, an ancient life known as Shadow Sin had already appeared, and Poet was one of them.

Later, Shael and her sister Serene were born, assisting Aeo in creating the world. Afterward, the sisters fell out, Shael was defeated by Serene, and from Shael’s wound, the first generation Magic Goddess emerged.
