The thoughts of the evil spirit were actually quite simple.
She had nothing to hide, for a life form of Mohe's level, this was a secret that could be perceived at a glance.
After all, Doro was also entrenched in this domain. As long as Doro examined carefully and did not rush into making judgments, he could figure out what Julia's evil spirit wanted to do. Despite lacking knowledge, being at this level of existence allowed Doro to eventually discern the answer through careful investigation.
Mohe came to see this evil spirit, naturally intending to have her manipulate Julia's body to fight Doro directly.
The matter between Modoh and Julia should not end so easily—choosing different paths, both encountered "consequences." But who was stronger remained a question. If the evil spirit were to control Julia's body and confront Doro directly—if she were also defeated by Doro, it would show that Julia did not possess the power to overcome Mohe.
Her choice wasn't necessarily the right one.
If Julia won against Doro... then it would indeed be good news.
Because while Doro may not be able to defeat Julia, Mohe had means to deal with this evil spirit, and subsequently... handle the matters of the Celestial Realm slowly.
In such a case, both of Mohe's "enemies" would be dealt with.
What could be more beautiful than this?
So, Doro and Julia clashing was precisely what Mohe anticipated, even though Mohe knew things wouldn't necessarily unfold as he wished, there was always room for a degree of hope. Besides, Doro might indeed have a desire to fight the Goddess.
As for why Mohe thought this way?
Doro had already transformed himself into Mohe's possession, so he might have some designs on the Goddess—what if he wanted to play with Mohe and the Goddess together? After all, Doro was truly a deviant...
Mohe thought this was something very likely to happen—based on the current intelligence gathered, it was certain that the Goddess didn't perish due to something outside the world, but due to her own reasons, because of the Celestial Realm, which was already enough; at least Mohe felt this venture had been sufficiently rewarding for Doro.
Further investigation held no significance for Doro.
However, it was clear that Doro had no intention of returning just like that, so he certainly had some ideas concerning the Goddess.
Could it be!
Doro intends to make Charlette the new Goddess, and then do all sorts of things with Charlette? What a terrifying and greedy man, even Mohe felt scared; throughout the long years of the past, such people as Doro were rare indeed! Someone who ought to be kind now became filled with desires!
Terrifying!
"So, what do you think I should do?"
"How should I know?" In response to the evil spirit's question, Mohe shrugged and said, "I'm not going along with your plan anyway. Rather, you should be grateful if I mind my own business and stay silent about what you're doing. If I were to cooperate with your plan and you turned out to be no match for him, wouldn't I end up suffering? He would definitely do something extremely overboard to me!"
Julia's evil spirit stared at Mohe: "Why do you look somewhat excited?"
"Ah... It's annoying, it's probably because I've been harshly educated by Mr. Doro lately, so my body reacts instinctively. This isn't how I feel inside, please forgive me a little. Maybe I should use forward power to somehow reverse my body by a year—no, if Mr. Doro found out, he'd surely demand I do that every day... no, no."
Is this truly the Modoh from my memory? If Julia's memory is accurate, Modoh should be a cruel and cold person, someone who remains unmoved by anything—otherwise, Julia wouldn't have parted ways with Modoh originally.
Doro...
The one chosen by Julia, what sort of person is he after all?
Curiosity is a very dangerous thing, especially when curious about an existence like Doro... yet Mohe didn't mind the feelings of Julia's evil spirit, since she wasn't the real Julia. She wasn't as formidable as Julia; facing off against Doro ultimately relied on Julia's body's instincts and that blessing.
"I won't question your intentions, nor will I ally with you against Mr. Doro because I lack trust in you. Humans say that a triangle is the most stable structure, which might not be incorrect. Each side has to worry about what the third party will do during any conflict between two parties, thus stability forms. But..."
Mohe shook her head and chose not to continue, she simply said, "I'll act as the situation demands. If you truly can contend with Mr. Doro, I wouldn't mind helping you destroy this world, or you can let Mr. Doro himself destroy it; many ways exist. Fortunately, Mr. Doro isn't that clever, but you mustn't underestimate his wisdom either."
"You certainly speak far more nonsense than I remembered."
"People always change, especially when facing old friends. Evil spirit, you don't seem to get this."
Mohe's shadow gradually dissipated, she stepped back onto the clouds of the Celestial Realm.
The evil spirit remained silent for a moment and gradually disappeared.
In fact, Mohe was very interested in the Celestial Realm. Living beings are not entirely obedient entities, just like when Mohe ruled the world, life forms would unite to resist her. Although it was the presence of the Goddess and the Hero that gave each race courage back then, in other words, it was because Mohe possessed immense power that the rebels swallowed their pride and did not truly resist her.
Actually, the World Tree, which created numerous life forms, was counterattacked by the will of life.
Julia's decision to guide the path of life wasn't without consideration. In fact, Mohe found it feasible. Julia herself should have been more confident, yet speaking of guidance... how did she guide the multitude of life forms? Does everyone yearn for light and goodness? How did Julia deal with those naturally "bad seeds"? Or did she create a species called "Angels" that would have no "bad seeds"?
That's impossible.
Logically speaking, even if most people believe in Julia, just like the White Church on the ground, there would still be those who refuse to obey the management of the White Church. There were even incidents of the Alchemist Association and the Mage Union resisting the White Church in the past, let alone the Curse Masters, or the Wizards of today.
Therefore, to let Mohe say it...
Julia must have tampered with souls.
In the era when souls were discovered, both she and Julia studied souls with many races. The symbol of the undead possessed by Mohe was laid during that time, gradually condensing into a symbol over the future years, reaching its peak.
Controlling a person's soul is not particularly difficult—a clear example is Feiker.
This being believed itself to be A·Gedora from its birth. If someone concealed the existence of the real A·Gedora and then crafted a story for Feiker, without a doubt, Feiker would surely regard itself as A·Gedora and would travel the world unquestioningly as A·Gedora. However, in the end, he and A·Gedora are different.
The soul is such an entity. Even when you think you've created an identical soul and believe you've made modifications deep within it, creating the same soul using the same template—the soul will reveal differences during its growth. Even if Julia created the same "supremely good" soul, deviations would inevitably occur, turning into "evil" souls.
Just as Julia, as a deity, in the moment of death, would also give birth to resentment and curses, inherently giving rise to evil spirits.
If even a deity guiding life's progression is like this, how could creations of a deity be any different?
This species called angels, wouldn't they "fall"?
Mohe fixated on the angel with two pairs of wings before her.
"Level Three Arbiter, Angel Number 046, go patrol Third Street, Fifth District. Report any suspicious individuals to us!"
"Yes!"
The command was given by an angel with three pairs of wings; clearly, the more wings this species had, the stronger they became, and their halos grew increasingly sacred and pure.
But describing them with numbers... Mohe found it hard to believe this was a decision by Julia.
Simply speaking, even if Julia created Adeline Metal and built Earthly Heaven's Adeline, she wouldn't label individuals solely with numbers—although she might assign them a number, she wouldn't let these numbers become a formal designation for people.
After witnessing the development of numerous races, Mohe had gathered some experience. Ultimately, such actions fundamentally contradicted the "human nature" that Julia spoke of when she broke away from Mohe. The so-called virtues, the so-called purity. Those things Julia extolled, Mohe did not see in this world.
"I named the alchemy item I gave to Adeline 'Earthly Heaven'. Could it be an instinctive response? Perhaps this is the final form of the world in Adeline's vision... Could Adeline be the reincarnation of the Goddess? No, that's impossible." If she were the reincarnation of the Goddess, she wouldn't have been defeated by her so easily.
Mohe appeared before Angel Number 046.
"Suspicious individual detected, requesting access to Angel's Dream..."
The angel's head was clasped by Mohe.
"I curse you to fall into darkness."
The pure white wings suddenly turned jet black, and the sacred halo shattered instantly.
At that moment, from a distant place, a beam of light shot through the sky.
It struck the spot where Mohe had just stood, piercing through the clouds directly.
Both Mohe and the angel vanished without a trace.
