Yes.
The elves went to the Golden Land, not to kill the Deity and steal powers.
They haven't yet developed such skill.
The elves only took away the divine legacy.
By then, Abigail was already dead.
"It seems the plan to defeat Ultimate Fear failed."
"That doesn't matter, run away, Abigail, there's no way out here for you."
He emphasized this for the third time.
But the girl shook her head.
"If it were you standing here, you'd surely tell me that..."
The girl smiled brightly, mimicking Chloe's tone:
"But unfortunately, I don't believe abandoning comrades and loved ones is the behavior of a Warrior."
Chloe froze in place.
Yes.
He would do that.
If life were destined to count down, he would burn the last of his life, eliminating anything that might leave a threat to his friends and family.
If he were born into chaos, he'd be the first to fall.
So he urged Abigail to run away.
But Abigail just smiled and said:
"Actually, I've thought about the times I'd have with my brother. After defeating the Fear Demon God, we can find a place to settle down.
As long as we have a home and work, life will go on."
Her smile was filled with happiness:
"Thanks to Stuart, I've had a good education. Even if he no longer wants to fight, we can easily find a job.
With my protection, even hard labor won't harm him.
Of course, if he only wishes to take care of me, Abigail can also work and support him just fine."
"..."
"Once our lives stabilize, we could open a restaurant, or maybe a flower shop?"
"..."
"If it were you, even giving up Extraordinary Power, you would still live well, right?"
"Abigail..."
"Although it's very shy, if you're not opposed, we could have children then. Since they'd be the offspring of a god and a human, they might be somewhat dangerous."
"Abigail..."
"But, but whether boys or girls, twins or triplets, they would surely be kind and cute like you."
The girl gently embraced Chloe, hiding her own fears.
"Even if our children hit their rebellious phase, Abigail would stand by your side, and we shall be the envy of all, growing alongside them together."
Chloe fell silent.
It felt as if cement filled his throat, rendering him speechless.
Abigail's voice was calm yet gentle:
"Brother, at the extraterritorial battlefield at the front lines of The Stars, we were defeated. I don't know if you're aware.
The Eternal Fierce Sun has fallen, leaving only a wisp of ember.
We can scarcely hold against the joint invasion of the Abyss and hell."
Chloe was terrified.
He knew the outcome of the Eternal Fierce Sun's ember.
The tale of burning the last ember, allowing the purest Knight of the Fiery Sun to vanquish the Evil God, is still replayed in Fantasy Shows.
But never did he expect the fall of the Eternal Fierce Sun to be of this era.
Abigail's voice was light:
"Truthfully, I am not that great, but below the Golden Land, there is a path to the extraterritorial battlefield.
If I don't stay here, you will face the Abyss and hell directly.
And all the children in the Golden Land are kind, so I'd like to be brave for once, like you, and stay here."
"Abigail..."
"The elves want to form a death squad to face the Fear Demon God.
They're selecting the top dog heroes from the continent.
Typical of you, even without my help, you've come this far, but...
Brother, refuse their invitation, run away."
Abigail looked at him quietly.
Her gaze was so firm.
So firm that it allowed no refusal from Chloe.
At that moment, both understood each other's thoughts.
But...
"I refuse."
"Brother, if you died here, you'd still feel the pain of death, aren't you afraid?"
Chloe slowly closed his eyes.
During the first simulation, Rephya did not witness his end.
After achieving the goal, he chose to end his own life.
In the second simulation, Rephya witnessed his death.
The power of the Holy Bone pierced through the heart of the Filthy Moon Demon King, and life ebbed away.
In the third simulation, he chose to burn his life.
The Divine Power of Filthy Moon allowed him to restore some of Rephya's Holy Bone, and he vanished along with it.
In the fourth simulation, after Rephya's death, the simulation was interrupted, and he finally ended it alive for the first time.
But...
The pain of the three deaths was by no means illusory.
Every time he dreams, recalling the pain of death, he wakes in a cold sweat from nightmares.
So when Abigail asked, "Are you afraid," he stammered:
"Afraid."
But whether it was Chloe or Rephya,
In every midnight awakened by nightmares, he never regretted his choice.
Abigail smiled:
"I'm afraid too."
She became the God of Growth and Forest, with Divine Power strengthening her bones and body, World Tree's blood flowing in her veins, yet she couldn't make her heart invulnerable.
So, someone became her motivation to bravely take that step forward.
Fortunately,
She also became his motivation to take that step.
...
At 21, he accepted the Golden Land's commission, preparing to battle on the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
That day, he encountered strong warriors from around the world.
A Centaur archer with a massive bow stood in front of him and said:
"Yo, big brother, long time no see."
He was somewhat taken aback and said:
"Cang, why are you here?"
"Why can you come but I can't?"
Cang was the son of the former leader of the Conqueror's Adventurer Group.
After the old man retired, he went back to become the Centaur Chieftain.
They still kept contact through letters; it was then he learned that the old man's son had become the Centaur leader.
This damn guy, after leaving the guild to him, went back to seize the chieftain's position from his demigod son.
Yes, you heard right.
The old man snatched his son's throne, utterly ridiculous!
Moreover, it's a Legend snatching from a Demigod.
Lost all decency!
Of course,
He knew Cang might be considering stepping down too.
But thinking back, he still felt speechless.
Agile and an excellent archer, Cang was the strongest archer he had seen so far.
By calculation, he knew this lad was a Sagittarius.
Always cheerful, never serious.
You couldn't tell he had been the Centaur Chieftain.
Truth be told, the old leader's village was destroyed over a hundred years ago.
Back then, the old guy probably lived an unknown length of time already.
So Cang's age was actually much greater than his own.
"Father asked me to come over with a gift for you."
Cang blinked and said weirdly:
"He never prepared a gift for me, yet prepared one for you. People might think you're his real son, big brother."
He took a two-meter-long wooden box out of the Space Ring.
"Here, the gift."
Chloe opened it and saw.
A giant battle halberd, precisely the one used by the old man years ago.
And judging by its surface sheen, it looked like it had been reforged.
"It's the work of the Fortress Master." A dwarf holding a heavy hammer and giant shield walked over slowly, "Dwarven craftsmanship combined with elven rune forging; there's no weapon better than this on this land."
A Fiery Sun Priest carrying a Holy Scripture and war hammer walked over with a murderous aura:
"I heard we're fighting an Evil God this time, no matter which Evil God, our Fiery Sun Church will help with the battle."
Another demigod.
Chloe was dumbfounded.
Previously, he thought he had seen enough demigods in his life.
The principal.
The vice principal.
Mr. Charles.
Three demigods from the Flesh and Blood Hermitage.
Six demigods.
Many people could only see the figures of demigods on TV their whole lives.
But gathered here, there were already four demigods.
No, something's not right...
He instinctively looked to a not-distant place.
Sure enough, a female knight in full body armor walked over slowly.
The female knight chuckled softly and said:
"Stuart, you really have gathered quite the talents."
A Sword Hero with Earth Divine Rune, possibly a Titan descendant.
Behind her was a female mage in an exquisite robe.
The familiar aura made Chloe squint.
"Long time no see, little guy."
The female mage laughed charmingly.
The visitor was precisely Lady Stuart.
Lastly, he laid his eyes on another human knight draped in dragon-shaped armor.
"Human?"
"Human."
"Rare indeed."
"Indeed."
What luck to have two human strongest in this team.
