Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3880 Am I not cute?
“Venus disappeared right before our eyes, but we can still sense that Venus is still here, as if she exists in another dimension.”

Everyone looked toward the void where Venus had been. There was no matter there anymore; it was just a vast emptiness. After the goddess of beauty performed the ritual of returning to the beginning, she disappeared without a trace.

However, it is understood that this has happened before when the gatekeepers return, so people are curious but not surprised.

We need to wait patiently until Venus returns to reality.

Maruko, always lively and fond of tinkering, sneakily approached the tomboyish Rudis and whispered:
"Your lineage of the goddess of beauty is renowned for its beauty and you govern this field, so is there anything that can change one's appearance?"

Originally, beauty was only one of the characteristics of Venus, the goddess of beauty. Noble and excellent virtues were the core spirit of the goddess of beauty. However, things have changed and people's hearts are unpredictable. Now, beauty has become the most representative aspect of Venus.

Even Lord Dirige sighed deeply, saying that the world's values ​​were too distorted and too focused on appearance... Sirocco and Hilder were loved and cherished because they were good-looking, but everyone hated and despised them because they were ugly.

"Of course, such small things are available; they are a gift to believers. But those of us who are truly beautiful never need such aids." The proud Rudis puffed out her flat chest. Beauty is innate, no, it is the favor of the goddess of beauty.

However, Rudis was really flat-chested, and even the demons who were usually not very well-built and were "beaten up" by the Mile sisters couldn't help but smile.

Beyana once righteously defended herself, saying that the demons were not flat-chested, but rather had small breasts; they were small, but not completely nonexistent.

Now, Rudis and Xiaoshumo are almost the same, seemingly without any difference, it's a foregone conclusion.

Rudis mentioned that appearance anxiety is a common problem that can lead to a lack of confidence in social situations. Therefore, those who have this problem often pray to the goddess of beauty to change their less-than-ideal appearance.

"No, no, no," Maruko quickly waved her hands. She didn't want anything to make her prettier. She put her little hand to her mouth and continued to whisper:
"Is there anything that can make a person ugly?"

Rudis looked at Maruko with a very strange expression. How could anyone make such a request? As a loyal number one fan of the goddess Venus, she sometimes listened to the prayers of the shallow believers on behalf of the goddess. Most of them asked for beauty and good marriage.

Another part consists of the voices of the dark elves, who both respect and hate them.

I've almost never heard of anyone praying to the goddess of beauty to make them ugly.

Rudis hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes, there really is. The Goddess of Beauty once bestowed upon believers the Holy Grail, which contains water that will never be emptied. Drinking it can cure all diseases, purify the soul, and even enhance one's appearance."

"Later, during the time when Lady Venus was lost, the Holy Grail was corrupted by the Black Nightmare, and the water inside changed its effects, becoming completely reversed. Drinking it would make one irritable, aggressive, and turn one into a very ugly demon."

Rudis used the word "lost" to describe her goddess, and did not believe that her relationship with the dark elf was a fall from grace.

Maruko's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she clapped her hands: "That's right, I remember now, the Holy Grail is currently with the GBL cult on the Sky Veil Beast, with the leader Ophelia, right? I'll ask her to borrow some water."

Immediately, Hiat, who seemed almost like a ghost to Maruko, appeared, gently stroking the back of her neck and smiling:

"Manhole cover, what trick are you trying to pull now? I could hear your voice from far away."

"You're talking nonsense! How can sound travel through the void without a medium?" Maruko shrank her neck. Lately, that annoying Fatty hadn't had much work to do, so he would come and bother her whenever he had a spare moment.

It's only recently gotten a little better because my older brother Ye Lin came back, and every night he's "going to die naked," his fat, naked body being pounded to death.

"You're even bringing science into this. Does demonic cultivation even have this kind of knowledge? That's a limitation for ordinary people. Talking about this with us high-level cultivators is pure nonsense."

Besides, the Holy Grail that turned drinkers into demons due to the corruption of the Black Nightmare has actually been taken back by Venus, the goddess of beauty. The Holy Grail that Ophelia has now is just a magical artifact with some magic power. It has been replaced by Venus, and the water inside can relieve fatigue and has no other effects.

Instead of asking Ophelia for water, you might as well ask Paris for help.

As for the golden cup, a relic of the angels, the fake one is still displayed in the Golden Throne of Remedia.

Shea teased, "Maruko, you wouldn't be using the name of the Holy Grail to secretly try to make yourself cuter, would you?"

"Huh? Am I not cute? Do I need to become even cuter?" Maruko looked completely bewildered. Fatty, what nonsense are you talking about?

Then Maruko flashed a smile, revealing two rows of neat teeth.

"Uh……"

Hiat couldn't help but pat Wanzi's head, telling him not to stand there grinning like an idiot, looking a bit silly.

To say that Wanzi and Beiana are similar is that they are both so good at causing trouble that people subconsciously overlook their good looks. Beiana is more mischievous and more whimsical, with many amazing tricks up her sleeve. She is full of energy and can till two acres of land with her bare hands.

Dumplings aren't that mischievous, but they've certainly blown up the lab quite a few times.

Then Maruko was wearing an oversized coat that was extremely ill-fitting, almost as long as her height, with cuffs so big that two heads could fit inside, making her look a bit sloppy.

“Iggy’s frog-turning potion has gone through three generations already,” Maruko revealed the truth.

Iggy of the Ancient Library considers himself to have two most prized inventions: one is the frog-turning potion, and the other is the enormous MK series large-scale combat magic machine.

Now, Iggy's frog-turning potion no longer needs to be ingested by others; it will take effect as soon as they smell the near-gaseous water mist containing the potion. Curator Monica commented that this is no longer within the realm of magic, but a terrifying form of witchcraft involving the concept of life recombination.

Maruko's inventions in this area were not as successful as Ichi's, so she decided to take a different approach and ask for help from outsiders.

"I see. The power of the goddess of beauty cannot be used for comparison or evil deeds." Rudis looked at Maruko warily, her intuition telling her that this girl was suspicious.

Maruko waved her hand casually and said in a deliberately disdainful voice, "So what if you can't? You're just a little follower of the goddess of beauty, how could you have something so powerful?"

She knew that Rudis was very narcissistic, even more so than Lorian, believing herself to be second only to Venus, the goddess of beauty. Narcissistic people often cannot stand negative external evaluations.

"Who do you look down on!" Sure enough, Rudis was enraged by a few words. Her forehead was scalp with anger. She raised her hand and took out a crystal bottle. The liquid inside had seven colors and shimmered with a hazy light.

"This is..." "Rudis!"

Serena, who was usually not very talkative, quickly pressed her shoulder and shook her head slightly, indicating that the gift of God should not be used for spite, as that would be disrespectful to the goddess of beauty.

Maruko, never one to shy away from stirring things up, rolled her big eyes and said, "I also think Serena is much prettier than you."

"You're talking nonsense!" Rudis's emotions, which had just subsided, were about to rise again.

“You’re prettier. Don’t worry about what others think.” Serena half-dragged, half-pulled Rudis away.

Hiat also grabbed Maruko's neck from behind and forcibly dragged her away. "You little girl, you may not have big breasts, but you're a master at causing trouble."

The girl, who had been strangled, turned around. Because the demon was too short, her head ended up nestled between the young lady's ample bosom. She rubbed her cheek against it and muttered softly:
"No wonder you love it so much and won't let go of it."

…………

Those were utterly indifferent eyes, filled with an aura of dominance that looked down upon all things. They were exceptionally cold, and possessed a terrifying aura of looking down on everything and being the only one who mattered. Even when looking at Venus, the goddess of beauty, who was a deity, there was no emotion in them. Gods and humans seemed to be no different in their eyes.

Venus was struggling to resist the urge to reclaim all her power, barely managing to maintain... Outside, Rudis, still trying to muster her strength, was constantly comforting Serena, unaware that her own life was hanging by a thread, and she could be reclaimed at any moment.

The great will of Caloso slowly extended its hand toward Venus, the Ring of Creation turning silently, its terrifying majesty causing even the gods to involuntarily bow down.

Venus was trying to discern whether this was a memory, an illusion, or the true arrival of a great will.

Faced with the outstretched hand, Venus reached out her own hand as if grasping at a lifeline, finding it hard to resist the urge to reclaim all her power.

Just as her fingertips were almost touching, Venus suddenly paused, her expression incredibly complex, then she stepped back an inch and whispered:
“If I accept your help, I will probably become Venus, the goddess of beauty, full of divinity but devoid of humanity.”

"I will become a cold-blooded goddess of beauty, wielding my power arbitrarily in my domain. I will make human virtues and art follow my will, losing their freedom. I will manipulate the heart of civilization's progress."

Venus closed her eyes in pain and shook her head slightly; she roughly understood what the return of the gods meant.

When the gods return to their primordial selves, they not only become more aligned with their corresponding domains in the universe, but their divine nature also takes over. The gentleness they have cultivated with humanity over a long period of time will be squeezed into a very small space, thus changing their character and will.

In this process, the Great Will Calos will appear in memory. We should follow the Great Will and return together to the most sacred, primordial, and indifferent primordial state.

"No, no."

Venus felt as if two wills were competing against each other within her, engaging in a fierce tug-of-war. Two conflicting voices echoed in her mind: one was her indifferent self from the beginning, one of the builders of the complete universe, a god who reigned above all things.

Another possibility is that over the long course of time, after experiencing the opening and evolution of countless civilizations, and having witnessed the fall of the Dark Elves, he nearly perished, but was fortunate enough to be reborn and return to his divine position.

These two states of mind are naturally herself, and when connected, they represent the process of the goddess of beauty's own transformation, a perfect manifestation. They should have coexisted as one, but now, due to the return to the beginning, the two wills have split, becoming irreconcilable and like fire and water.

Venus now leans towards the latter; she wants to suppress her primordial self.

She loudly questioned the indifferent Carlos: "All gods have had a cold side, but that doesn't mean that state is right."

"I am willing to return to the beginning to improve my realm and combat power because I want to make my existence more valuable. As the God of the beginning, I should have a reason for my existence to protect those weak and not strong enough lives."

"If the price of returning is the indifference of divinity, then what is the meaning? Is it merely to better prepare oneself for the final catastrophe?"

Venus's state is sometimes wildly fluttering, her eyes full of rage, with a desire to destroy everything; at other times, she is dressed in a pearl-colored dress, serene as water, ethereal as smoke, and incomparably beautiful. She constantly transforms between these two states.

Suddenly, the Ring of Creation emitted a somewhat annoyed will, saying:

"Only when you are powerful can you talk about protecting or safeguarding something. Don't you understand this principle?"

"This is not about whether your human state can coexist. The reality is that your primordial state was more powerful than you are now. If you want to fully return to the primordial state, unnecessary human nature should be suppressed."

The great will of Caloso and the Ring of Creation before us are not the original body, but they are still connected to the original body and know the state of Venus.

Venus shook her head and said, "I don't know if, after returning to the beginning, I would still be willing to protect the people I am willing to protect now."

However, the situation is not optimistic. Her divine indifference is gaining the upper hand and gradually overwhelming her gentle humanity. Her berserk state is lasting for longer and longer.

The Ring of Creation and the phantom of the Great Will watched indifferently as Venus struggled with herself, offering no further assistance, waiting for the dust to finally settle.

The manifestations of the primordial gods, whether Remedios or Pushia, remained oblivious to her condition, indulging their divine power freely within their own domains.

Suddenly, a completely out-of-place figure appeared out of nowhere, creating an interlude. Ignoring the terrifying power and overwhelming majesty of the gods, he walked into the edge of the world, strolling leisurely as if he were walking in his own vegetable garden.

“So that’s how it is. Returning means returning to one’s divine self.” Ye Lin nodded, then walked towards the unstable Venus, pressed her shoulder, and pushed her back.

Immediately, Venus, who had already merged with her past phantom, was pushed away and no longer merged with her original self at the end of the world.

Actually, this action was a bit awkward for Ye Lin, because Venus, Sirocco, and the Queen of Waves had similar body shapes, large breasts, and were much taller than him. So, when he pressed on the shoulder, he had to raise his hand to about the same height as his head, which looked like a child trying to push an adult.

"Another one who needs to stand on a bench," Ye Lin muttered to himself, then pulled the still somewhat bewildered Venus back to the normal world.

The Ring of Creation uttered an incredulous voice: "Night Forest, how did you do that? This is the end of memory, three moments."
