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

Having said that, Charles, who had turned around, seemed to have thought of something and set his sights on Batu.

"How long has it been since you went back to visit the place where your sister and your innocence were buried?"

Batu was stunned and looked at Charles strangely.

He didn't quite understand what Charles meant.

"Fort Nason is doing very well right now, but the mutual aid association shouldn't be limited to just one city or one place."

"Even mutual aid societies shouldn't be limited to one country."

"Mernadé has already sent some people to lurk in other parts of the country, waiting for the right time to find more like-minded people."

“But other countries should also have mutual aid societies.”

"Do you want to try it?"

Give it a try?

Batu looked around and saw the smiles on everyone's faces.

For some reason, he felt a little reluctant.

He likes the environment here, the atmosphere here, and most of the people here.

If possible, he hopes he can live here forever.

Leaving here to take on greater responsibilities...

He hesitated for a long time but could not make a decision.

"Your hometown is a terrible place. Perhaps you can try to change it and fulfill your sister's wish."

"This is a good idea. We can gather some like-minded people and take them to a secluded island by boat. It might become another place for us to build our base besides Fort Nason."

That place no longer exists, so what has changed?

However, that piece of vacant land will probably be occupied by others to establish a new country soon after that incident.

In this situation where the essence of all countries is similar, it seems like a good choice to look for some people who are oppressed and dare to resist?

As for the hidden island?

There was indeed a small island around that place that he had hidden.

I don’t know whether his power still exists on the island, and I don’t know whether I can still control the power I left there.

Charles did not wait for Batu to make a decision - in his opinion, he had already made up his mind after he mentioned that place.

Now Charles has some more important things to do, or to think about.

For example, the news he heard from Batu.

Earth-shattering news.

The death of the Ocean Goddess.

If the Nia that Batu met had the same essence as Mernade, Sif and others.

So that means the person who was picked up from the beach and treated as a sister by Batu is the goddess of the sea.

Why would such a being die without dignity?

Is this related to the secret that Eternal Blazing Sun mentioned?

Before it's all over, all the gods must die...

He could have lived, but still chose death.

Are these two sentences related to Nia’s experience?

Or maybe it's related to Nia and the Eternal Blazing Sun's experience.

Is there a possibility?

Like the Eternal Blazing Sun and the Ocean Goddesses, Mernade and Sif, he lost his power and memory at some point in the past and came to this world.

But he and the Ocean Goddess were not as lucky as Mernade and Sif, and did not survive. Was it because of this death that he gave up on resurrection when he could have?

A vow? A bet?

What is the ritual even?

Things are really getting more and more interesting.

"The original plan was to let Perozzi have a good rest before taking her to the solar center."

"It seems like taking a vacation is out of the question now." Charles said with some regret.

"I really hope you left some important message there."

"You could just tell the truth, but you had to leave clues and play a guessing game..."

Charles originally wanted to complain harshly about some things about the Eternal Blazing Sun.

But as he looked at the sun setting overhead, he felt like crying for some reason.

Shining on everything, protecting the world, and lighting the way forward for people...

I'll never see you again.

"Boring persistence..."

Charles left these words and returned to the manor.

He did not disturb Peroz who was resting, but slept well in his room alone all night.

At dawn the next day, he pushed open the door of Perozzi's room.

To Charles's surprise, Peroz, who he thought would be lying on the bed, had already put on his clothes and was sitting on the desk beside him, gently stroking the holy robe and the stairs in his hands.

"Are you surprised?" After noticing that the door was opened, Peroz smiled at Charles who pushed the door open.

"Indeed...How did you know I would take you there today?" Charles asked curiously.

After all, he made this decision on the spur of the moment last night.

"Women's intuition~" Peroz said happily.

"Huh?" Charles was even more surprised.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"It's because you didn't come to see me last night." Peroz looked a little strange.

"It's not just me. I also called Theresa and Melnadette and asked, and you weren't with them either."

"This is an unusual event for a fellow like you."

"Especially after you asked me to have a good rest, you didn't come to bully me. This is a bit too unusual."

"So at night I thought that maybe you had made some special decisions and had some special things to do because of what happened before."

"All I know is the holy garment and the ladder he entrusted to me, as well as the matter of the depths of the sun that you mentioned to me before."

"So I guess you're thinking of going there and exploring it sooner rather than later?"

Looking at the smile on Perozzi's face, Charles held her cheek lovingly and then kissed her on the cheek.

"Still as smart as ever."

"But how did you think I would come so early?"

"Could it be that you didn't sleep well all night because you thought about the interesting things you might see there?"

Peroz rolled his eyes at Charles in annoyance, "I'm not a child waiting for a picnic."

"The reason for this is because I think this is a good time."

"The old sun sets, and the dawn brings new hope."

The time between Hesper and Peroz was not long, or rather, the time that He faced her in his true self was not long.

But after knowing that the other party had died, Peroz felt very sad.

The Krolov family has the blood of Holy Light flowing in its veins, and the source of Holy Light's power is the Eternal Blazing Sun.

She could barely call herself a descendant of the sun.

As a descendant of the sun, what should she do after knowing that the sun has passed away and after obtaining the holy clothes and the ladder?

Peroz's answer is... to go to the place where He fell at dawn, the time that best represents hope.

Then let the "sun" reappear.

"It seems we have the same idea." Charles smiled gently and then held Peroz's hand tightly.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them appeared at the center of the sun.

This time, the scorching flames did not spread over the two of them, and there was no force to stop them.

The holy robe and the stairs slowly floated ahead, guiding them towards the center of the sun.

The heart of the sun is not filled with burning matter as people imagine.

On the contrary, there is a sea of ​​green here.

There is a small town here.

A small town once inhabited by humans.

Through that strange film of light, Charles and Peroz could see the starry sky and the sun that were exactly the same as those in the world below.

"I remember some scriptures recording that the gods would lead the souls of those who believed in pure holy spirits to the kingdom of the gods, where they would obtain endless happiness."

"Is this the place where the Holy Spirits of the Eternal Blazing Sun Sect once lived?"

Charles reached out and flicked Perozzi's head.

"There's no such place in the Five Gods Church anymore."

"When it comes to death, the Five Gods sects all share the same attitude. Death is death, and they will never do anything like guiding souls."

Peroz covered his forehead which had just been hit by a bullet and stuck out his tongue.

"Then this is?"

"It's His memory." Charles looked at the town below, and his figure slowly fell down.

"You should remember the legend about the holy clothes and the stairs." Peroz was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Legend has it that when the One and Only Creator was selecting people of pure character to become true gods, Sheriff Hesper, who sacrificed his life protecting the residents of the town, had such an opportunity.

However, it is different from others who want to gain infinite power through tests.

Hesper just wanted to return to his hometown, see his mother, and see the place he once protected.

So he borrowed many items that could be used to make ropes through various methods, and connected them together to use this rope, which was the "ladder", to return to his hometown.

"This is the hometown that Eternal Blazing Sun longs for."

"Of course, this isn't his real hometown, but it's the place he remembers."

"While he was still here, here were his friends and family who evolved from his power."

"Perhaps being revered as a righteous god isn't something he's proud of or happy about. Staying in this place with all his fond memories is what he loves most."

The sun represents hope, but it is also a person who likes to reminisce about the past...

As they were talking, Charles and Peroz slowly entered the town.

At this time, this small town located in the core of the sun is no longer as lively as before.

The power that the Eternal Blazing Sun once left here has been withdrawn by him, and many of the townspeople who "lived" here have disappeared.

But... only his body still stood at the entrance of the town. He stood straight, his eyes fixed on the front, his expression serious and earnest, as if he was examining any stranger who was about to come here.

Charles and Peroz walked up to the body of the Eternal Blazing Sun and bowed slightly.

Wisps of golden flames burned around the body of the Eternal Blazing Sun.

Soon, his body disappeared without a trace, but a small sun the size of a football was left where his body had been.

"Pass the test and you will become a new hope."

A voice appeared in the minds of the two people.

During the interlude, Diana's body could be taken away and merged into Sif's body.
