Chapter 381: You seem to have missed an opportunity

~8 min read 1,568 words

"What? Say that again." Everyone thought they had misheard. In fact, everyone had heard clearly, but the matter was too shocking, making them unwilling to believe it.

When an ordinary person walks in the forest, what they fear most isn't encountering a ferocious beast, but the shredded corpse of a ferocious beast. Who exactly shredded the beast?

Di Deity Deity Diluni repeated: "The Red Star, it's been blasted apart. I don't know if it was 'blasted', but it exploded anyway."

Everyone looked at each other, took turns leaning in to look at the observation spot, and then asked: "Did you see what hit it?"

Di Deity Deity Diluni shook his head: "We are twenty astrological units away from the Red Star's position. It takes time for the light to reach us. The Red Star being blasted apart happened tens of seconds or minutes ago; we can't see what it was."

"To be able to blast the Red Star apart in one hit, could it be His Majesty?" Du Luo Ken guessed hesitantly.

The Great Sage was shocked, and after exchanging glances with Anthony and Nage lisi, their expressions became strange.

If the Undead King wasn't dead, then their situation would be awkward.

This was a situation they were unwilling to face, so they couldn't help but turn their gaze toward Ang.

Ang held his head high, watching the spot where the Red Star had disappeared with intense focus, as if sensing something.

After a long while, Ang suddenly moved, ran to the Goddess of Redemption, and said: "Offer, soul."

The Goddess of Redemption, who was pretending to be well-behaved, was startled and confused: What does this have to do with me? What is he saying?

Ang had to repeat it: "Offer, soul, to me."

The Goddess of Redemption's small face turned bright red instantly: How could he be so sudden? She had no mental preparation at all, and he wanted her soul? Was he dreaming?

Seeing the reluctance on her face, Ang tilted his head, turned around, took out the Heavenly Scepter, quickly opened a space gate, and teleported away, running off.

The Goddess of Redemption stood there, stunned, her mind full of question marks: What does that mean? He asked twice, she didn't agree, so he ran? What kind of attitude is that? Asking her to offer her soul is equivalent to establishing a soul connection and becoming his subordinate god. Is this the attitude for establishing a soul connection? Not sincere at all.

Nage lisi fluttered over, looked at the Goddess of Redemption with confusion, then looked at the space gate Ang had teleported through, and said hesitantly: "Ang doesn't do inexplicable things. You seem to have missed some opportunities. I think you'd better chase after him."

"Chase after him?" The Goddess of Redemption pointed at herself in astonishment. Establishing a soul connection is such a major matter, yet his attitude wasn't sincere at all, and he wanted her to chase after him? Does the Goddess of Redemption have no pride?

Anthony also said: "My lord doesn't do meaningless things. He asked you to offer your soul; he must have a purpose, but it's definitely not to have one more subordinate god. He has too many subordinate gods to manage as it is. So why would he do this?"

"There are two possibilities: one is to borrow power, the other is for protection. What power is there to borrow from the power of redemption? Your speed and effect in saving people aren't as fast as his. So it must be for protection. Why protect you, but not us?" Du Luo Ken analyzed quickly.

Anthony's eyes lit up: "The Faith Storm! The Red Star was blasted apart, but what about the Faith Storm? The last Faith Storm didn't have a Red Star in the sky. Could it be that the last Red Star was also blasted apart by someone, leaving only the Faith Storm to descend? We either have a soul connection or no godhood, so there's no need to protect us specifically?"

"So, the faith... hey, hey, where are you going?" Before Nage lisi could finish, he saw the Goddess of Redemption lifting her skirt and darting into the space gate that was about to close.

"This child, so reckless. I wanted to say, if you really can't make it, you can enter my Brass Book and be sealed temporarily. I couldn't feel the last Faith Storm either, wasn't it because I was sealed? There's no need to offer any soul, really."

Nage lisi complained, tilted his head, and went offline. When he regained perception, he had already projected onto Ang.

Ang first teleported to the City of the Goddess of Beauty, preparing to teleport to Loran through the teleportation array.

"Who are you going to find?" Nage lisi, who had projected over, asked.

"Xia Mala," Ang replied.

Negris immediately confirmed their earlier speculation: "Is it really a faith storm? Does Shaya have a godhead? She is hunting down the Sinful Angels together with Flash Feiti and Hawei; where are we supposed to find her?"

"Flash Feiti, Harvey, Xia Mala, not together," Ang said.

He could sense the location of Harvey and Flash Feiti through the soul connection, but Xia Mala wasn't with them; they had scattered while hunting the Sinful Angels.

Nage lisi became distressed: "Then where are we going to find her? How much longer until the Faith Storm? Is there enough time?"

Ang tilted his head and didn't answer because he didn't know if there was enough time either. He would teleport there first and see.

The light of the teleportation array lit up. Just then, a graceful figure darted over, hugged his thigh bone tightly, and teleported away with him.

Arriving at Loran City, Ang looked down and saw the Goddess of Redemption hugging his thigh bone tightly, smiling: "Main God, please accept my soul fire."

Ang accepted it, and only then did the Goddess of Redemption let go, stand up, and retreat to the side, acting well-behaved.

"Lord Ang!" An urgent shout. Ang looked up and saw that the teleportation array in Loran City had been blocked—blocked by one person.

Xia Mala, in her majestic black holy armor, stood outside the teleportation array, driving everyone far away from the blockade line.

A row of black feathers was stuck along that 'line'. A reckless guy had crossed the line and was nailed to the ground by two black feathers through his thigh, hugging his big foot and whimpering, not daring to cry out loud.

"Lord Ang, are you here to find me? I had a premonition that someone would come to save me," Xia Mala said urgently.

Nage lisi couldn't help but say: "We were racking our brains on how to find you, but I didn't expect your nose to be sharper than a Gnoll's. You found us yourself. Your premonition ability is too useful."

Ang also nodded at her: "To me, offer, soul."

Xia Mala was much more straightforward than the Goddess of Redemption. She offered a soul fire on the spot, and after establishing the soul connection, Ang took them back to the City of the Goddess of Beauty.

Before leaving, Xia Mala waved her hand and retrieved the row of feathers that had marked the blockade line, leaving only the two stuck in the leg of the person who had crossed the line.

The person who had crossed the line was crying without tears, not even daring to speak loudly, muttering: "The ones in my leg haven't been pulled out yet..."

He didn't know what had possessed him at the time, insisting on crossing the line to test it, only to be nailed to the ground. In the intense pain, he realized that the black angel seemed even more not to be trifled with.

Whoosh, at least three groups of people surrounded him, pushing and shoving, each occupying a spot, surrounding the guy who had crossed the line. One group even held a dagger to his throat.

"Friend, let's discuss this. How about selling these two Black Angel Feathers to us?" a guy with a fierce face smiled and said.

Just as he finished, someone behind him slapped him on the head: "Are you stupid? Just say feathers, why do you have to remind him these are Black Angel Feathers? What if he doesn't sell them?"

"If he doesn't sell, I'll stab a few holes in him."

"Stab your ass. The Black Angel deliberately didn't take these two feathers back. If you rob them, you're robbing Lord Black Angel. Do you want to die? Buy them, buy them without missing a single cent."

"Sell to me, sell to me." The other groups said in unison.

The guy who had crossed the line couldn't help but ask: "This... what is the use of Black Angel Feathers?"

However, the Church of Light defines them as 'sins', hoping that all priests and believers will overcome their desires and serve the gods of light devoutly.

Ascetics are the leaders who use arduous practice to overcome their desires.

So in principle, all creatures have original sin. Perhaps only a skeleton like Ang, who has no desires, has no original sin.

But why do some people trigger the Original Sin Chain, while others don't? There is a very clever point here: only when you think you have sin will you trigger the Original Sin Chain.
