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

Ciel knew the loopholes in the contract he had made, and he also knew that Diana could easily see through them.

But he was not afraid at all.

If it were Sif, she might find ways to break the contract, but Diana... she wouldn't do that.

After all, Sif, who has not yet become the Goddess of Night, can do things that Diana, who has been the Goddess of Night for countless years, will hardly do.

Although they are the same person, the same person may have different persistence at different times.

Just like when Sif is with Ciel, she will act coquettishly, play tricks, and even when she is in a good mood, she will tease Ciel to do some bold actions.

But Diana basically wouldn't do these things.

She is the goddess of night, a deity who has lingered for countless years and is believed by countless people.

Although she said that she was not a truly selfless person like the Mother Earth Goddess, she would never do something that would distort the promise she had made.

After all, she has been chasing after them for countless years and has her own persistence.

She would never do such a low thing as breaking the contract and looking for loopholes!

Even this kind of contract made her want to destroy Ciel humanely just by looking at it.

"Think about some things before you talk about them. What Sif can do, I can do too!" Diana's gaze fell on a part that made Charles very nervous.

"Perhaps it would be a good thing for you to disappear from certain places for a while." She said with emphasis.

"This is also a breach of contract!" Charles refused to give in.

Charles really likes to do things like courting death, especially when he is sure that he will not be actually beaten to death.

As for other consequences...Charles said that as long as he can't die, he will do it to death.

The Goddess of Night was too indifferent when she was with him, which often made him feel that he didn't like her very much.

He wanted to make some changes. Although this contract was to satisfy some of his XP, it was also a test of Diana.

"Before completing the contract, doing so would be a breach of contract."

"But after completing the contract, it doesn't seem like it's a breach of contract." Diana smiled a gentle yet murderous smile. "I can do as instructed, but are you prepared to not do that kind of thing for decades?"

Charles blinked and looked at Diana, then nodded seriously.

He believed that Diana was indeed capable of carrying out her threats.

But... her power can be released by Sif, and if that doesn't work, there is still Mernadette now. Even if neither of them can do it, most of the problems can be solved by waiting for the other party to calm down and then begging for mercy and admitting defeat.

After all, after she got angry about this incident, she acted like she was venting her anger, which to some extent represented the change in her feelings towards Charles, or the way she got along with him.

In the short term, this change may make Charles miserable.

But in the long run, Charles sees it as a good thing.

After all, compared to the goddess of the night Diana Leso, he would rather have a girl like Sif appear in his life.

People all yearn for beautiful things, and it is not a bad thing to change yourself by chasing after other righteous gods.

But Charles believes that this change should not mean that everything should be aligned with them and learn from them.

Many things cannot be done. There is no need to constrain yourself by the requirements of others.

This will only bring pain to yourself.

Just like Diana now.

Chapter 402: The Goddess of Night and Diana

Diana didn't want to talk about the past, about the disappearance of the Five Gods.

Because at that time, she saw the gap between herself and them, and saw the cowardly and fearful self.

But everyone is afraid of death.

This is not something to be ashamed of.

He who wears the crown must bear its weight. Although this makes sense, in this era where power is everything, the Five Gods can actually live a more selfish life.

Their power did indeed come from the One Creator. After gaining the power, the One Creator did assign them a task, but that task was only to form a sect and guide people to do good.

It was just a few simple words, without placing any restrictions on them, not even telling them to protect the world.

This is what Alfor heard from Mernadè, and then told Charles.

A long time ago, Alfor had advised Mernadè to live a more selfish life.

After all, selfishness does not conflict with the mission assigned by the only Creator.

Guiding people to be good does not conflict with selfishness.

To guide people to be good does not really require them to set an example and become the embodiment of all virtues.

Of all the paths they could take, they chose the most tiring and thankless one.

Of course, the Shire and many others revered them for choosing to do so, but no one had the right to resent them for fleeing when disaster struck.

Not to mention their previous protection of the world.

For the five gods, they only need to be responsible to the one creator, and they have already completed the tasks assigned to them by the one creator beyond specifications.

So they do not need to sacrifice themselves for the world - they never need anything that humans can provide, including the faith that many people consider to be the most precious.

If Charles were in their position, he might protect this world to a limited extent out of emotion, interest or other reasons, but he would never sacrifice his life for this world.

Especially when you voluntarily give up your strength, past, and even everything for something.

In his opinion, the choices of the other four gods were certainly worthy of his respect, but Diana's choice was also very normal.

She doesn't need to blame herself for this matter.

But now, for many reasons, Diana fell into this vicious circle and regarded those things as shadows in her heart. Even thinking about them would make her feel extremely painful.

Ciel wants to change this situation, to free her from the role of the goddess of the night who follows the other righteous gods, and let her be her true self like Sif.

If you are tired, you should have a good rest. If you can't do it, just give up. She has done enough and it's time to have a good rest.

"I have never met anyone as bold as you."

"As a reward, I can let you make the decision on some vague rules in the original agreement." When Charles was thinking about changing Diana, Diana's mood became a little strange, and then she showed a strange smile to Charles.

"Really?" Charles was a little surprised. If that was the case, he would be more confident about those things.

The agreement simply stipulated that every time Diana came here, she had to complete at least one of his new tricks on her. However, this was random and determined by the other party.

Now that she had given him the power to make the decision... Charles felt that many impulses emerged in his mind that he could hardly control.

"Of course, but don't be too happy too soon."

"When everything is over, I will curse you based on the severity of what you did to me." She shook her hair and smiled playfully. "Don't worry, this curse isn't too dangerous and won't kill you. But because of that, it's basically impossible to remove."

For Charles now, in a life-and-death battle, Diana will definitely be the winner, but if the other party wants to escape, it will be difficult for her to catch him, after all, Charles has almost no weaknesses.

It would be extremely difficult for her curse to kill Charles instantly or to curse him to death, unless she was willing to pay a huge price.

But it would be much easier if we just toyed with him.

For example, if she wanted to make him lose a part of his body, she could do it simply by cutting off a small tuft of his hair as a price and fishing out some liquid that he had spilled in the river of time.

This loss is at the conceptual level. As long as Diana devotes her mind to it, it is basically impossible for Charles to break free from this curse on his own.

Not to mention Charles, even Mernadette might not be able to clear it.

There are many similar ways to play pranks on Charles. If all of them were done, it would be enough to make Charles embarrassed or unable to face people for a long time.

But instead of being frightened, Charles showed an excited expression on his face.

"We can talk about this later. Now please put on the holy clothes you wore during the sacrifice." As he spoke, Charles also seriously summoned a statue. Although the Goddess of Night was not like the Eternal Blazing Sun, where all statues wore the same clothes, her clothes were almost the same on many important occasions.

It is a set of clothes that looks very gorgeous, noble and majestic.

Diana was stunned for a moment, but still followed his instructions and changed into the clothes she wore when she performed miracles before.

She still remembered that this dress was modified based on the clothes of the king of the country she once lived in.

It was the elegant and gorgeous style that she had always envied. Although she later preferred simpler clothes, that set of clothes still had a special meaning to her.

She also understood why Ciel chose that dress.

After all, compared to bunny girls, cat girls, maid costumes and so on, the lofty goddess of the night can excite him more.

"Do you need me to summon a church?" Diana looked at Charles with a smile. The occasional cold light in her eyes told Charles that her mood at the moment was not as good as it seemed.

"of course yes."

"Let's go to the temple before the first festival." Charles seemed not to see the murderous intent in her eyes and said very seriously.

"It's a great pity that I didn't see you at that time, so I decided to send you my blessings in a special way."

Diana couldn't keep a smile on her face. To be honest, she regretted it a little. Although she knew that Charles was a bold guy, he was always very sensible and took a step-by-step approach to many things.

So she thought that even if the door was opened, Charles would at most just let her do some insignificant role-playing, similar to the game she had seen Charles and Melnadette play before.

At most, he lets me use my mouth...

Who knew he would do it so big?

This guy is really not afraid of his own revenge later...

Diana gnashed her teeth as she looked at Charles, who had changed his attire back to that of the high priest of the Church of the Earth.

"Diana, don't be stunned. Hurry up and summon the church. I want to celebrate your ascension to the throne on behalf of the Church of the Earth."

Should I thank you again?

Diana followed Charles' instructions expressionlessly and summoned the original church.

"If Mernade had a believer like you at that time, I would definitely suggest that he lock you up in the prison at the center of the earth, and then I would give you a few roommates with special hobbies."

Charles paid no attention to her words and gestured for her to sit on the throne.

Diana took a deep breath and walked over slowly, then slowly sat down.

Then Charles appeared outside the church door.

"Now, kneel down and crawl over to me slowly." Charles narrowed his eyes with an indifferent expression.

In an instant, everything in the temple began to shatter, and vaguely, the time that was stagnant by Diana began to become turbulent.

But in the face of her anger, Charles looked at her calmly.

He would occasionally play similar games when he was in the City of Eternal Night.

But today, he was not trying to relive the game, nor was he simply trying to humiliate the other party.

While some games bring him greater pleasure, he never forces humiliation on them.

This time...

He just wanted to provoke the anger in her heart and shatter some of the things she insisted on.

Perhaps after this time, he will not be able to do certain things for years or even decades, and his life may be in danger.

But if you don't do this, it will be almost impossible to break her persistence or let her let go of something in her heart.

"Are you sure? Charles Rocks." Diana slowly stood up and asked calmly with her head lowered.

Charles didn't say anything, just nodded seriously.

He knew why Diana had said those things were her own choice. She wanted to give him a chance to improve their relationship. Although many of the things in the previous contract were shameful, some were quite interesting.

If Ciel could pick some games that interested her, she would only play pranks on Ciel during the punishment time and would not do anything too excessive.

Afterwards, the relationship between them may gradually warm up because of this game.

If possible, Ciel would also like to do this.

But after thinking about it, he gave up.

After all, doing so would only make her feel more at ease to escape everything, just like she had been avoiding things after a certain moment in the past, and now she would continue to avoid them in the future.

Even from a certain perspective, having a relationship with Charles was a way for her to escape.

She is degenerating and becoming crazy. Many things cannot be forgotten or escaped just by wanting to.
