567: God-killing believers

Chapter 566: The God-Slaying Follower

Inside a temple at the headquarters of the Destiny Divine Sect on Mount Clotho, Newman Continent.

Master Fiona ended the remote meeting, and hundreds of holographic projections from the Demon Spirit Continent disappeared one after another.

Looking at the hall that had become empty again, Master Fiona was deep in thought.

"Respected Lord of Divine Fate, I have done as you asked. Is that Dick Grudia... truly my destined person?"

[You have asked many times, Fiona, and this Lord has patiently answered you many times. The only one in the world qualified to be your destined person is that Dick Grudia!]

"But..."

[Stop questioning. The profound mystery of Fate is far beyond your comprehension. Even I, who have become a Lord, dare not speak carelessly about it!]

"Perhaps I should consult the Destiny Goddess. Only she can accurately interpret Fate and save lost travelers..."

[So-called gods are merely vassals of time and space. They grow strong because of faith, but they never take responsibility for faith.]

Hearing such a direct critique, Master Fiona immediately felt displeased and said coldly, "Watch your words. If you speak wildly again, I will consider you a heretic and bring down divine punishment!"

[Come now, this Lord has also spoken these meaningless religious platitudes for hundreds of thousands of years. Besides, what can mere divine punishment do to me?]

"You..."

Although Master Fiona knew that the voice in her mind, calling itself "Lord of Divine Fate," was essentially herself from another Sub-Timespace.

But as the most devout follower, Master Fiona could not believe that the Destiny Goddess she worshipped would be such a low-level existence.

[Some cruel truths took this Lord hundreds of thousands of years and countless hardships to finally understand!]

[Rather than worshipping weak gods, rather than humbly praying for their mercy, rather than facing destruction in despair...]

[It is better to overthrow that weak and useless vase, become a god yourself, control the path of Fate yourself, and enjoy the offerings of all faith exclusively!]

Listening to the increasingly excited voice in her mind, Master Fiona realized something and frowned slightly, saying, "Could it be that you..."

[That's right, I personally killed the Destiny Goddess I worshipped, devoured her godhead, and became the Lord of Divine Fate!]

Hearing this, Master Fiona's eyes widened. She instinctively fell to the ground, cold sweat streaming down, unable to believe the blasphemous words she had heard.

God-slaying...

And the one she slayed was the Destiny Goddess she devoutly worshipped...

Just thinking about such a thing made Master Fiona feel deeply sinful and unforgivable!

[Fiona Vanier Didalian, you should do the same. Slay the god and take her place. Together with this Lord, achieve the position of Supreme Lord!]

"No, I am not you, absolutely not..."

Master Fiona sternly refused. She was not yet a thousand years old, had only recently become the leader of the Destiny Sect, and her faith was devout and fervent.

For her to slay a god now, to do such a blasphemous thing, was absolutely impossible!

[Don't be so quick to refuse...]

The voice in her mind became intriguing. She seemed confident, which made Master Fiona feel subtly uneasy.

"Stop trying to entice me. You cannot force me. This matter is not up for discussion!"

[Of course, this Lord will not force you. I will just show you a memory.]

"What... memory?"

The unease in Master Fiona's heart grew stronger, but she could not block out the voice in her mind and could only brace herself to ask.

[The memory of this Lord before and after becoming a Lord!]

The next second, the view switched.

The temple was still the temple, but it was no longer pure white and sacred; instead, it was dilapidated and ruined.

Master Fiona, or more accurately, Master Fiona from another life, trembled and prostrated herself before the statue, crying and praying.

Tears smeared her exquisite makeup, her soft pink hair spread out messily, and her magnificent divine robe was covered in bloodstains.

Boom—

Suddenly, a violent explosion came from outside the hall.

"Leader, the barrier of the holy mountain has been broken! That group of foreign bandits has broken in and is slaughtering our followers..."

"All nine Heroes have fallen in battle! All the Archbishops have surrendered! The holy mountain... has been completely surrounded!"

"Leader, quickly ask the Destiny Goddess to bestow a miracle! We are powerless to resist..."

Listening to the Holy Knights' report, the despair in Master Fiona's heart deepened. She had no idea how to break the situation; all she seemed able to do at this moment was pray.

Clang!

The temple door was kicked open by a single foot. A burly figure with a dog's head and a human body appeared. She slowly walked up to Master Fiona, her gaze boldly appraising her.

"Hmm, truly worthy of being a pure-blooded Elf, a genuine top-grade beauty. She will definitely fetch a good price on the market..."

Although Master Fiona was still trembling at this moment, her proud self-esteem overcame her fear. She immediately rebuked, "Shut up, madman! Lord Lachésis will not spare you!"

"Lachésis?"

The dog-headed figure thought for a moment, then quickly chuckled, "Oh, that's the Destiny Goddess you worship, that useless thing trembling inside the statue."

As soon as the dog-headed figure finished speaking, the huge statue in the center of the temple immediately emitted a white light, followed by a hazy, graceful figure slowly appearing.

Seeing this, Master Fiona immediately felt incredibly excited and prostrated herself, "Lord Lachésis, please save us..."

"Lord Brother, you can just call me Little La~"

She saw a woman identical to Master Fiona quickly walk up to the dog-headed figure's side, wearing a fawning expression, looking like the top courtesan of a Courtesan House.

And this scene completely shattered something that Master Fiona had always held onto in her heart.

The story afterward was very inspiring.

Master Fiona was treated as a high-grade flesh slave and put up for auction at an auction house in the Chaoyue District of Wuluan Ancient City.

Because her foundation and talent were both quite good, she was quickly bought by an old Lord to be used as a vessel for possession.

Fortunately, the old Lord unexpectedly died within a few years, and Master Fiona gained her freedom as a result.

She eventually made her way to the Chaoxing District of Wuluan Ancient City, struggling at the bottom for tens of thousands of years, doing almost every dirty and tiring job except selling herself.

By chance, Master Fiona returned to her Sub-Timespace, personally killed the Destiny Goddess, and after devouring her godhead, advanced to become a Lord, calling herself "Divine Fate."

Another hundreds of thousands of years passed, and Lord Fiona, relying on her innate business acumen, finally completed the initial accumulation of capital.

Soon, she became a magnate, owning millions of chain restaurants in Wuluan Ancient City.

Not only that, Lord Fiona also re-established the Destiny Divine Sect in the ancient city, gaining countless followers and widespread fame.

The view shifted again, returning to the pure white and sacred hall.

Master Fiona looked around blankly, feeling as if a lifetime had passed.

In just a few seconds, she had experienced hundreds of thousands of years of the Lord of Divine Fate's memory. Thousands of thoughts pulled at her heart, a mix of emotions.

[Now, do you still think god-slaying is wrong?]

Listening to the voice's question in her mind, Master Fiona was momentarily speechless, falling into deep thought.

"I..."

[Think about it some more. This Lord has some matters to attend to.]

After saying this, the voice in her mind disappeared, and Master Fiona sat blankly in the hall, unable to calm down for a long time.

...

On the other side, in a magnificent restaurant in the Chaoyue District of Wuluan Ancient City.

Dick looked around, whispering, "Sovereign Alice, is this the most luxurious restaurant in the Chaoyue District?"

"Of course," Sovereign Alice said proudly, crossing her arms. "This place only serves Lords. This Sovereign is even one of the thousand VIP customers!"

Hearing this, Dick deeply agreed, because although the guests here were few, none of them seemed to be ordinary people.

Before coming, Dick had Master Mina use a slight trick.

Not only were their faces and figures perfectly hidden, but even their strength was difficult to probe, giving off a bottomless feeling.

"Holy Master's presence truly adds much glory to this restaurant..."

A pink-haired Elf wearing luxurious clothes walked towards them. She was the female owner of the restaurant and was warmly greeting Sovereign Alice at this moment.

Dick looked surprised. He hadn't expected to see a pure-blooded Flower Elf in Wuluan Ancient City.
