Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Chapter 177 Chapter 57 Even the goddess can’t do it!

Ciel's passionate words and firm gaze made Sif almost blurt out "You are such a good person".

However, thinking of the time when she occasionally praised Charles as a good person and how his cheeks drooped, Sif didn't say much but just looked at Charles with a strange look.

"You don't like me, do you? How can you say such disgusting words?" Sif said jokingly.

Charles looked at her with a strange gaze, and she felt a little uncomfortable with the way he looked at her.

"What do you mean by that look? Could it be..."

"I just think you've changed, Leopold."

"Changed?" Sif looked at Charles strangely.

"A lot of narcissism."

Sif's gaze became much more dangerous.

Charles seemed not to notice. "Are you as cute as our Mernadette? Are you as gentle as our Mernadette? You have nothing. How could I possibly like you?"

Not to mention liking Sif, even if Sif liked him, Charles guessed that his first reaction would be to run as far away as possible.

It's not that he's afraid of anything, he just thinks it's troublesome.

The Goddess of Night is the only church among the Five Gods that stipulates that believers can only marry one wife and will punish those who are unfaithful in the family.

Most churches have similar regulations, but most of them are persuasion - similar to moral condemnation, but the Church of the Goddess of Night has legislation for punishment.

As a second-born man, Ciel didn't dislike these rules; he even admired and liked them—until he met a succubus and her sisters who admired his poetry...

It's easy to make a man faithful to one woman, but it's even easier to make him as broad-minded as Ciel.

The former only needs him to meet the best person at the best age, and the latter is similar.

Occasionally, some evil thoughts of blasphemy would arise in Charles' mind, but most of the time the Goddess of Night would not appear in his dreams.

Asked to give up the entire forest for a tree, Charles said that even the goddess couldn't do that.

"Brother...Sister Sif is also very beautiful and gentle..." Mernadelle said embarrassedly while pulling the corner of Charles' clothes.

"Mernadette, you have good taste. It doesn't look like this bastard." Sif walked to Mernadette's side, cupped her cheeks and gave Charles a blank look.

"But let's forget what we said before."

"Forget it?" Charles looked at Sif's calm gaze with some surprise.

"Friends do help each other, but this help doesn't require the other party to go through fire and water." Sif smiled carefreely. "If one day I encounter trouble similar to Theresa's, I hope my friends won't rush in like you, Rocks, foolishly."

"This will only add to the sacrifice, and won't yield any results. On the contrary, it will be enough for you to help me collect my body, or just remember me from time to time."

"Just like what happened with the Mitte family before, Rocks, it's good enough if you can occasionally buy me some clothes or something, but don't go against them."

Ciel removed Sif's hand that was caressing Melnade's cheek and replaced it with his own, saying in a gentle tone, "I'm sorry, I can't do this."

"For me, there are certain things I can't just sit back and do nothing about."

"It's a very foolish thing to do, like a moth flying into a flame or a mantis trying to stop a chariot. But I think it's worth it to do it for some persistence or belief."

It's not just about gaining goodwill. Ciel did the same thing during the Five Gods Era.

When he first arrived at that period, he sometimes wondered if he would return to the home he remembered if he died.

But he would never commit suicide. To him, even if he really had to die, he wanted his death to be meaningful.

What does it mean to be valuable?

For friends, family, love, or to wave the sword against the times and say no to this world!

He did many similar things, but he did not return to his home. On the contrary, he gradually made new companions and had a new home in this world.

At the same time, as time passed, some of these thoughts gradually faded. By now, he had basically given up the idea of ​​going back.

However, some habits and characteristics are still retained.

Unfortunately, there are very few people he can identify as friends or family.

Of course, Sif could not reach this threshold, but he did not mind doing some things that were easy to do - from the protection of the Church of the Five Gods by the last subordinate god of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun at the end of the Godless Era, it can be seen that the relationship between them was competitive, but still very harmonious.

At the same time, the Goddess of Night is also the best friend of the Mother Goddess of Earth.

Before she did or expressed any ill will towards Charles or Mernadette, she got into trouble, and Charles did not hesitate to help her out of some friendship.

Given the current situation in the world, most of the problems Sif may encounter are just minor troubles for Charles.

This is from Ciel's perspective. From Sif's perspective, she couldn't help but feel touched when she heard Ciel's sincere words.

But she controlled her emotions well.

"That's a nice thing to say. When I was stuck at school before, you helped me buy some clothes and asked me to make a lesson plan for you." She pretended to be unhappy.

"Maybe it's because we weren't familiar with each other at that time and couldn't be considered friends." Charles said readily.

"I don't covet your body, so I won't try to please you."

Now Sif was a little dissatisfied.

"What do you mean, you guy!"

"You hang out in places like that every day. Are you telling me by saying this that I'm not as popular as the girls there?"

Charles held his chin in his hand. "Hmm... How should I put it? There's a world of difference. One can only be admired from afar and not touched, while the other~"

"You bastard...Mernadette is still here!"

"Also, saying something like that in front of a girl is not gentlemanly at all."

gentleman?

I think I am gentleman enough.

"Okay, anyway, you don't have to worry about Theresa. Nothing will go wrong with me here." Charles thought about it and didn't argue with Sif about this matter, so he changed the subject.

"Also, if you encounter trouble in the future that you can't solve, I hope you, Leopold, will come to me for help like you did today."

"If you consider me a friend."

Sif felt that Charles seemed to be glowing at this moment.

If she didn't know what Theresa was thinking, she would probably have some feelings for Charles that were more than friendship.

Chapter 178 Chapter 58 Waves

While Charles, Mernade and Sif were leisurely enjoying their dessert, the Kingdom of York and even the entire world were experiencing some turmoil because of Charles's actions.

Except for a very few people like Mernade and Sif who can feel the reversal of time, most people in this world are unaware of it.

But...the disappearance of a demigod can still be noticed.

Especially when he was having dinner with a demigod when the Mother Tree of Vengeance disappeared.

The god in question, a demigod of the Holy Trinity, said that he was happily eating hot pot and singing with the Mother Tree of Vengeance when the other party suddenly disappeared.

Yes, it disappeared suddenly.

There was not even a single sign. He could even see the madness on the other person's face in the previous second, but the other person disappeared in the next moment.

During the process of disappearing, the god in question didn't even notice that anything was wrong.

It was as if the Mother Tree of Vengeance itself shouldn't exist there.

This is undoubtedly a very terrifying thing.

If this was a spontaneous act of the Revengeful Mother Tree, most demigods would feel a little relieved.

After all, he is considered a veteran demigod, so it is understandable that he has some tricky methods.

But if someone else did it...

Quietly snatching away or killing one demigod in front of another without even causing the slightest ripple...

How can such a method not make people feel terrified?

In a place so dark that there was no light at all, human figures made up of gray-white smoke gradually emerged.

"How could such a good person suddenly disappear..." A sad voice sounded.

"The most important thing is that he didn't leave any clues before he disappeared. It's really worthless to disappear in this way." A cold voice sounded.

"I told him that according to his sect's way of doing things, he should have been more restrained when he entered there, but he wouldn't listen. It's normal that he's missing now." A gloating voice sounded.

"Now isn't the time to gloat. Before his followers entered there, didn't everyone have a plan for when this day would come?"

There are many demigod sects that have entered the Kingdom of York, but most sects or secret organizations do not act too high-profile.

At the same time, they all adhered to the principle of leaving a way out for others. At most, they would only take away the assets and status of those nobles. As long as they did not leave the Kingdom of York, at least their personal safety would be guaranteed.

However, this is only the choice of most sects. Some sects' behavior is much more cruel.

The Cult of the Vengeful Mother Tree is one of them.

The prerequisite for joining the sect is strong hatred. While killing the other party's entire family, you give the other party a hope to guide him to join the sect and provide him with energy for promotion.

In some ways, the Mother Tree of Vengeance is even more evil than the God of Fear.

This kind of sect and the demigods behind them sometimes have a clear idea of ​​what is going on.

After all, evil and justice are always incompatible.

Although the God of Miracles has never shown his face, judging by his abilities, he can basically be identified as a subordinate God of the Church of the Earth.

Faced with the servant gods of this church, any demigod like the Tree of Vengeance who is a little rational will choose to stay away from there.

But more sects chose to enter the Kingdom of York.

Two reasons.

First, the evil gods were most reluctant to see the Five Gods' sect revive. To them, the church's revival would also mark their downfall. Rather than lingering on and leaving everything to fate, it was better to fight for it.

Second, some people offered them some lucrative offers that they found hard to refuse.

For example, the price for the Mother Tree of Vengeance to send its followers into the Kingdom of York is that the entire Southern Continent will no longer restrict its "missionary work", while the other continents will allow it to spread hateful ideas to a limited extent.

"We never thought in the plan that he would disappear so suddenly, without even a trace of life." An irritable voice sounded.

"Holy Trinity is such a gathering place for trash!"

After demigods like the Mother Tree of Vengeance send their forces into the place, they will be accompanied by one or two demigods.

On the one hand, it is to increase the chance of survival when facing a strange god, and on the other hand, if there is really no way to survive, at least we must obtain information from the person who took action.

In their view, God is not invincible.

The gap between the Age of Atheism and the Age of Darkness was caused by the final fall of the Church from God.

As long as they can unite, God is not invincible!

"At least I'm stronger than you. If you're not convinced, you can come to Arads for a competition." A cold voice sounded.

"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly but didn't say much.

"Okay, stop arguing."

"I didn't call everyone here this time to watch you make noise."

"Based on the information we've received so far, the Mother Tree of Vengeance has completely fallen, and even its demigod characteristics have completely disappeared."

"It's not just him, most of his followers in the Kingdom of York are like this as well."

"Although his abilities aren't the strongest, you should all agree that he's stronger than many of the people here."

Everyone was silent.

It is precisely because they acknowledge this that they find it difficult to accept.

After all, the demigods who were much stronger than them were annihilated quietly, so what about them?

The results speak for themselves.

"Let's first investigate the actions of the followers of the Vengeful Tree in the Kingdom of York. We should be thankful that our enemy this time is the Church of the Earth, not the Church of the Goddess of Night."
