Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 277 Aid from Beyond the Stars

The carpenter, Beskey, couldn't quite remember the exact process of ascending into the sky. He only remembered that the whole process brought him a near-death dizziness—even with the protection of his armor, Beskey still had difficulty breathing and even vomited inside the armor.

This made Beskey extremely regretful. He only hated that his body couldn't be stronger. After all, if he had been less dizzy, he could have remembered that valuable experience of entering the Star Sea.

But now...

"Don't open the mask."

Just as Beske was about to take off his helmet to clean up the vomit, Casaloran stopped him immediately.

"Unless you can physically traverse the sea of ​​stars, do not remove these protective measures under any circumstances. If you insist on doing so, the chaotic spiritual energy field in the sea of ​​stars will tear your skin open and draw out your blood and flesh."

"This……"

Beska immediately stopped what she was doing and dared not move any further.

But it was this momentary panic that caused his entire body to fall uncontrollably. The sudden helplessness, coupled with the weightlessness of his rapidly falling body, caused the dizziness he had felt earlier to grip Beskey once again.

Until Casaloan grabbed his shoulder.

"do not be afraid!"

The deep roar vibrated in Beska's ears.

"Forge your wings with courage!"

"With courage, with courage, I forge myself..."

Clenching his teeth, Beskey closed his eyes tightly.

We must not be afraid, no matter what. If we are afraid of even this little thing, then what's the point of building spaceships and going to the stars?
"Snake God bless you!"

With that thought in mind, Beska was about to draw that vertical line across her chest.

But at that moment, Beskey suddenly realized that her fall had stopped.

The feeling of weightlessness disappeared, and he was no longer at a loss. After overcoming the fear of life and death, he seemed to be able to fly normally again—not only could he fly normally, but the flexibility of the entire suit of armor had also increased to a higher level. He could even move as easily as Casaloran beside him.

"You should really come and worship the god of courage."

Casalorn sighed as he watched Beska try to jump around in mid-air.

As it turned out, the God of Courage was indeed right. These natives living on his home planet did indeed possess extraordinary potential—they were able to drive runic armor with their souls in such a short time, and were not much different from him back then.

"In short, the driving force behind the birth of consciousness in the soul is also the driving force behind this armor... I heard that some of the armors my warriors left behind with you, which you probably can't use? That's the reason."

Such words should not have been spoken, as they implied that the lost armor could never be recovered. However, Casaloran had his own considerations regarding this matter.

Casaloron is preparing to use the methods of the God of Mystery.

Yes, it is almost impossible to thwart the God of Mystery's schemes by fighting alone. In fact, the fiercer the battle, the more these natives will side with the God of Mystery. But what if the God of Courage also starts to provide these natives with what they need?
Just like now, the God of Mystery thinks he has control over this planet, but he is unwilling to give these natives the navigation technology they desperately need all at once. That's fine, the God of Courage will give it to them.

But all of this has a premise.

That is, these natives must have courage.

This isn't something the God of Courage is deliberately demanding; rather, the equipment itself must be powered by a constant flow of courage from the soul. To use this equipment, one must have courage—over time, even if they don't completely side with the God of Courage, they can at least disrupt the plans of that mysterious god.

Simply put, if I can't get it, you can't get it either. As long as you don't get it, at least I haven't lost.

"Right, that is it!"

Casaloron was gradually getting into the swing of things, and he felt that he had successfully cracked the scheme of the god of mystery—but soon he realized that this was not just his own feeling, but also because the god of courage had rewarded him at this moment.

"here you go!"

The god of courage offered a rare and direct praise: "Do what you want to do. You are on the right path. Don't be afraid to make things bigger. If the god of mystery were to come, I would personally intervene."

This is paving the way for Casaloron's actions. After all, what Casaloron fears most right now is probably a direct attack from the God of Mystery. If he were to be killed by a god himself, he would probably be annihilated instantly.

But now, with the guarantee of the God of Courage, there's no problem.

If the God of Mystery were to personally take action to kill him, it would be a direct battle between gods. Kasalon could even sense that the God of Courage was currently searching for the God of Mystery's lair in the sea of ​​stars.

Clearly, the hot-tempered God of Courage had long planned to retaliate against the God of Mystery's act of reaping the benefits. Now, it's not just the God of Courage; even the God of Destruction and the God of Desire are taking the same action.

"……Um?"

Casalon was taken aback when he sensed the message from the god of courage.

"This... wasn't it me who thought of it first? How could it have been confiscated already? How could they..."

But as Casaloran continued to decipher the information, he realized that he wasn't the first to fund local indigenous people in this way.

The first person to do this was actually David Day, who was thousands of miles away and whose whereabouts were unknown.

……

……

……

In the distant Da Mang Mountain, David Day, having lost the Seed of Creation, was practically powerless to do anything. He had originally intended to retrieve the Seed of Creation so that he could continue to complete the mission of the God of Life.

But who could have imagined that just as he and Casaloran formed an alliance and summoned the messenger of the God of Desire to take the fall, they discovered that the God of Desire had already arranged everything. And when the messenger of the God of Desire also returned defeated, and the three parties were preparing to discuss what to do again, they discovered that the one who truly reaped the rewards was actually the mysterious God hidden in the deepest recesses.

From the moment they arrived on this planet, they had already fallen into the trap of the God of Mystery. Every action they took against the local natives became an aid to the God of Mystery.

Simply put, from the moment they sat down at the table, they were already doomed to lose.

However, David Day refused to admit defeat.

Or rather, he can lose, he can admit his incompetence, and he can bear the blame of the god of life—but the mysterious god lurking in the shadows shouldn't expect to win so easily.

"Since you want to take all the benefits, then you might as well not live at all!"

At that moment, David Day clearly felt that his will had completely merged with that of the God of Life in the starry sky.

The god of life thought so too.

Therefore, his actions will receive the full support of the God of Life, and even if the God of Mystery personally kills him, the God of Life will avenge him.

"Then let's see if you dare to kill me."

With that, David Day roared.

"Life will protect life!"

At David Day's command, the creepers covered in moss and spores instantly died on the spot, leaving behind only small hills full of mushrooms, which amazed the starving mountain people nearby.

"Is this... really safe to eat?"

The starving people swallowed instinctively. Although the rotting giant in the distance filled them with dread, they had indeed not eaten for a long time.

"Take it, you can take it."

David Day waved casually.

He was once a king, after all; he knew how to command an army.
