The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

He seemed to be saying the words he couldn't say to the goddess in the end.

It was the answer he found from the end of Deloitte's life to the end of his life.

"Being tried to be hurt by others, and then hurting others with your own hands."

"Perhaps on that day, Delois was so desperate that he wanted to die. Perhaps he really almost took that step."

"However, he also desperately wanted to live because of the memories that Clodia left him."

"This is contradictory, but also reasonable."

"This world, which is terrible to Deloitte, is a lucky world to me... both bad things and good things happen. This is the law of all things, nature, cycle, and fate."

Dekan closed his eyes, as if he were murmuring or praying.

"But what I believe now is that as long as you keep a kind heart, things will always turn out for the better."

"Fate is ultimately determined by people."

Even if bad people come to good places, good people will not go to the bad side.

In Dekan's years of travel between the real world and the world of shadows.

Even in this world, a demon chose to succumb to depravity and become a bishop of the Church of Resurrection.

There are also those who were demons in their past lives and have become kind humans in this life.

Whether one is human or demon is ultimately a personal choice.

Dekan's soft voice had now become much firmer:

"Goddess Tiki, I swear to you once again that I will become your codex, your blade,"

It is often said that a strong oath will gain stronger divine protection, but the corresponding price is being dragged into a life of suffering.

Decan recalled what Corodia had said to Delois.

This was something Coraldia kept nagging in the ear of an impatient Delois, and it later became something Delois would often say to his friends.

Dekan knew without guessing that on the night Corodia fell into eternal sleep, Delois must have been making the same prayers and uttering the same vows as he was now.

However, their feelings were completely different now.

Because this time, under the gentle guidance of the goddess, he has a wonderful life.

From the moment he met Cornelia, there was nothing in this life that he would regret.

What was once something Delois wouldn't even dare to dream of has become Dekan's daily routine.

"I am willing to dedicate the rest of my life to it, my time, my labor, my life, everything I have."

This is my way of repaying your kindness and your grace.

Rather than as a price I'm willing to pay.

"As your priest, I will sweep away all evil spirits and protect this world of all living things that is enveloped by your compassion to the very end."

"Even if the enemy is a god, I will forge ahead without hesitation, no matter what."

Dekan made the strongest oath he could think of.

Perhaps making such a vow to the deity who controls reincarnation and destiny will indeed create a fulfillment more terrifying than any magical contract.

But as he ultimately concluded during this long journey.

This has always been the case from Delois to Dekan.

Uphold your beliefs, strengthen your will, and take control of your destiny. This time, we will surely reach an ending where no one has any regrets, only a beautiful story.

I seemed to hear the voice of the goddess Tike, still silent but with a soft laugh.

Dekan reflexively looked around.

The empty courtyard made him realize even more clearly that this was the present world, no longer the place where he lay dying.

In the final moment of sending Dekan back, the goddess may have exhausted her power and temporarily disappeared.

Perhaps she is still watching over the world under that shimmering starry sky, with silent love and compassion.

Even though it remains unnoticed by any living being, it never tires or gets annoyed.

Suddenly, a light appeared beside Dekan.

A hazy, warm, and soft light.

This left Dekan somewhat dazed.

It wasn't until a moment later that he realized he wasn't seeing the goddess's radiant light in the darkness.

Instead, Chloeux, the owner of the mansion, noticed something, lit the lights in the courtyard, and walked out of the mansion, looking in surprise in the direction of Dekan.

"Dekan...you're back?"

Chloeux seemed so shocked that her voice became quite hoarse for a moment.

"Long time no see, my old friend."

Dekan smiled and tilted his head.

Besides the gentle smile, his eyes were filled with a myriad of emotions from their long-awaited reunion.

380 Dekan and his long-lost friend

Chloeux's first reaction was to look back at the living room.

Then he continued to stare in surprise at Dekan in the courtyard.

Logically speaking, one should always enter and exit the world of film from the same place.

Therefore, if Dekan successfully cleared this shadow world that was suspected to be at the ninth level, he should have walked out of the unstable void gate that temporarily appeared in Chloix's living room!

Chloeux's expression at that moment seemed to suggest that he had dozed off or missed something.

He had been staying in the living room lately, filled with worry and anxiety, hoping for Dekan's triumphant return.

After all, he was the one who started the Shadow World, and Dekan entered this dangerous Shadow World on his behalf!

Moreover, Dekan was his most important friend.

He found him when he was at his most depressed, confused, and even on the verge of giving up. Without saying a word, he stood up for him as soon as they met. After they became partners, he always trusted his support and protection.

So until just now, Chloeux had been sitting in the living room waiting.

It was only after sensing the magical fluctuations in the courtyard that Chloex stepped out of the mansion to take a look.

As a result, Dekan inexplicably ended up sitting in his yard!

After confirming that the person in front of him was indeed Dekan and not someone else impersonating him to play a prank, Chloix immediately let go of the mansion doorknob and ran to Dekan's side in the courtyard.

"Dekan! Have you cleared this ninth-tier shadow world?"

Even though the answer was probably already clear, Chloeux still felt lingering fear.

"Of course, I fought a great battle against the Chaos God and even killed a super powerful Chaos God!"

Dekan said smugly, hands on his hips.

The goddess of life, Sisina, is arguably the most formidable enemy Dekan has ever encountered.

She and her powers are a million times greater than those of Agamemnon, the god of magic, and Menelius, the god of matter.

Moreover, once fully developed, Scythe's strength far surpasses that of Agamemnon and Menelius. Even Icardinos, currently the strongest being in the world, would probably be no match for Scythe in her complete form.

In that era, to defeat Sisina, the two strongest beings of the past—the Demon King Delois and the Holy Emperor Lenn—were indispensable!

However, it was precisely their preordained, miraculous bond that ultimately became the opportunity to defeat Sissina.

Although... if we're talking about who should win the Finals MVP, even Dekan thinks it might still go to that guy...

That guy really did manage to track down Sussina and trick her!

What Dekan found most outrageous was that Ray could even reverse the electricity meter, stealing a life and even more lifespan from the Chaos God?!

It's possible that the fact that Rickley possesses [Super Speed ​​Regeneration] in this world is somehow related to the [Chaos Resurrection] power he received from the God of Life in his previous life!

Dekan found it both laughable and exasperating. Sisina's furious state before her death likely stemmed largely from her hatred for Ray.

She was always too close to the lightning bolt even when she was at her angrier.

Let alone escaping from Lunen's illusory barrier, even if she could pay a huge price and risk everything to briefly escape from the palace in an attempt to kill Lei, where was Lei at that time?

He was even impenetrable under protection in the top floor of the Holy Tower prison!

Recalling the battle in the illusory barrier, Dekan remembered that Sissina had several inexplicable bursts of impotent rage.

Even though neither Dekan nor Lenn mocked her, she was already on the verge of exploding.

There is only one answer—

It's hard to say whether Sissina, who could share Lei's perception, discovered that Lei was remotely taunting her with "Come and catch me if you dare" to mess with her mentality.

This behavior clearly shows that they look down on Sissina.

Ray likely used the exact same words that Sissina used to mock him after defeating him back then, and mocked her back exactly the same way!

Dekan found it increasingly amusing.

He decided that when he found Clay later, he would definitely ask him what he would do if he encountered the same situation.

However, just as Dekan was laughing, Chloeux's doubts deepened.

"What do you mean by 'you and I' defeated the Chaos God?"

"I'm completely baffled," Chloe asked.

Although he had fought bishops with Dekan, he had never fought an enemy of the level of a Chaos God.

Moreover, if Dekan is referring to events that occurred within this film world, then that's even more incorrect!

Do you remember Len?

Dekan simply asked that question.

"Yes, I remember. He took great care of us."

Chloix nodded; he had always admired and respected this kind and courageous lord.
