In Douluo Continent, my summoning of Naxi Da was exposed by the heavens.

The traveler's next words frightened Akoda even more.

"Those are the five great sinners; this may not even be his full power."

"The strength of those who can bring about the destruction of a nation cannot be judged by ordinary standards."

At this moment, Aino spoke up, "I have a question. When Ineff and I arrived, we saw him seemingly chasing after this sister. What happened?"

Indeed, Ineff and Eno were unaware of Columbia's identity.

"When we arrived, they were already playing ping-pong."

"Yes, we don't know why either. The situation was urgent, so we had no choice but to take action first."

"Kutar, do you have any leads on this matter?"

Lauma asked Columbia.

Upon hearing Laumma call out to Columbia Kutar, Inev immediately understood.

"Kutar, information processing in progress. So you are the Moon Goddess that the Frostmoon Child spoke of."

Aino blinked at Columbia, thinking, "Oh, this lady is the moon goddess. No wonder she looks so much like the statues of the Nodcales."

Columbia shook her head when she heard Lauma's question.

People will believe in the moon for various reasons, and they will also hate the moon for various reasons.

I had never met that person, yet I sensed a deep hostility emanating from him.

Although the reason is unclear, the name "Moon Hunter" perhaps already says it all.

After processing the information, Ineff said, "There are many possible reasons, such as the fact that you once helped the travelers escape his clutches, and this is retribution for your rescue."

It's also possible that he's eyeing the lunar torque within you, wanting to possess it for himself, etc...

But now the more important thing is to think of a solution; the chances of finding it again here are almost 100%.

Upon hearing Ineff's analysis, Jakoda's inner monologue erupted once again.

"A countermeasure... what should I do? I have absolutely no idea how to fight against an opponent like that."

"We guess we have no choice but to run! That monster shouldn't chase us to the ends of the earth, if we manage to escape Nordkare..."

"No, I can't say it! Yakoda, Yakoda, in such a serious occasion, are you going to encourage everyone to be cowards?"

Those watching the celestial canopy agreed with Yakoda's idea—how could one be a coward and run away from such a solemn occasion?

However, what happened next completely surprised them.

"Run away!"

Columbia uttered those three words without any expression.

"what?"

Yakoda looked at Columbia, a big question mark appearing above her head.

"Why be surprised? Isn't this a perfectly reasonable approach when facing an invincible opponent?"

"That's true, but..."

Yakoda felt that the Moon Goddess Columbia was a bit airheaded this month, and she didn't know how to explain it to her.

"There's still time. I'll distract the Moon Hunters, and you'll have plenty of time to leave."

Upon hearing this, Yakoda immediately abandoned her previous thoughts.

This isn't some kind of naiveté; it's because of a benevolent deity who would sacrifice himself to protect others.

"Wait, you mean you want to use yourself as bait?"

Paimon said in surprise.

"Isn't this a perfectly normal conclusion? The Moon Hunters' target is me; you don't need to risk your lives for it."

Coyotes only stop caring whether someone is passing by when they howl at the moon.

Columbia's occasional metaphors are indeed very interesting.

After hearing Columbia's words, Lauma's emotions completely changed.

"What's wrong, Lauma? The Child of Frostmoon has grown accustomed to living in an era without gods. My existence is unnecessary. This is not my home. You don't need to keep me here."

Seeing this, Poseidon of Poseidon Island said she could understand Lauma's feelings.

If the deity you believe in says such things to you, it's tantamount to denying your lifelong faith.

This is an absolutely devastating blow to a believer.

Even if Lauma already knew that Columbia's personality was like that, she would still feel extremely sad.

"Sigh, it must be hard for you to worship such a god."

Although the sea god that Poseidon worshipped was not a good person either, at least the sea god recognized her as a believer.

On the other side, in Wuhun City, Qian Daoliu also glanced at the Angel God.

Everything he had done was negated by the justice of the angel god. He truly understood the feeling of being negated by the god he believed in.

Back on the celestial screen, Aino's voice broke the eerie atmosphere.

"Letting things continue like this is not in our nature."

"We've known each other for a while now, how can you just leave like that?"

Although Manager Yakoda was terrified, she couldn't show any weakness. In her heart, she was thinking, "This lady just saved my life. If I just abandon her and run away, my conscience will hurt me for the rest of my life."

Philins also stepped forward and said, "After all, this young lady saved us. I don't like to talk about personal favors, but friends should always help each other."

Ineff, as a robot, is more rational.

"We still cannot confirm your goals, and even if we sacrifice Kutar, there is no guarantee that he will stop there."

"Avoiding the problem won't solve it."

"But……"

Columbia wanted to say something more, but then Lauma finally spoke up.

"Kutar... I've heard why you left the Frostmoon Children. Long ago, people treated prayer as a transaction."

They make wishes on their own, offer you useless gifts, and then greedily demand miracles from you.

If it were me, I might have chosen to leave at that time as well.

But I believe that time will change many things, and people will learn to cherish what they have through loss.

I've thought about this for a long time, and the question now isn't whether the Frostmoon Child needs you.

The essence of what's needed is still a transaction, and I hope you can stay with the Frostmoon Children as "family."

You were born here, and now you've returned; perhaps this is also the guidance of the moonlight.

"Thank you, Lauma, but my power is already very weak, and I can't help you much."

"No, now it's our turn to help you."

The traveler looked at Columbia and said with utmost seriousness.

Columbia looked at the traveler and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll do as you say."

The Goddess of March was actually quite pleased to see this.

"The Moon Singer finally realized she needed to change Colombia by acting as 'family,' and that's exactly what she needed."

"It was from these people that she learned what 'family' meant, which enabled her to make that request of us when she met us."

"Yes, perhaps this is a predetermined fate."
