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

Sif beside her had slowly transformed into Diana without her knowing when.

At this moment, there was some expectation in her eyes.

Although Mernadè at this time was more like a human than Mernadè in ancient times, she eventually returned to the path she had taken before.

If nothing is done, something similar to what happened in the past will happen again someday in the future. Therefore, after seeing this scene, Diana did not stop it. Instead, she took advantage of the situation and let Mernadette face similar problems so early.

“Some things can be easily solved if you don’t take other people so seriously and don’t let their fate weigh on you.”

"You are not a god now... you are just an ordinary person with some ambitions."

"When facing Rocks, you will go against some of your own beliefs."

"What about other things?" Diana had a faint smile on her face, but her fists were clenched tightly.

Noah...

Although you have made up your mind, do you really think that I have spent my time in the time loop reminiscing about the past?

Diana was unsure about many things before.

But now, she has roughly confirmed some things and has also found the opponent she will face this time.

"Before, I just didn't want to be too calculating, but... not calculating others doesn't mean I don't have the ability to do so..."

"You should have already contacted her by now... Only you could come up with such a boring conspiracy."

A cold light flashed in Diana's eyes.

She could understand Noah's choice to gain power, but she would never forgive his ingratitude.

Once Mernadette gets over this hurdle, it will be time for her to close the net.

She doesn't have as many "weaknesses" as Mernadette.

Especially after being treated in that way by Ciel.

She doesn't think what she is doing is right, as she is sacrificing a small number of people for the benefit of the majority.

But she would do it without hesitation.

Even if she has to sacrifice most of the lives in the world.

"Humans are capable of creation... whether it's you who control life, me who controls time, or even the ocean, war, and the eternal blazing sun..."

"Why should I compromise with that guy for the life he created?"

"Isn't this a very strange thing?"

Diana's eyes were burning as she waited for Mernadè's choice.

So does Feige.

According to the narration of Batu, the mentor who led him on this path, although Mernadè was great, this greatness was more reflected in her thoughts and actions.

But now, he felt the other party's great strength.

In just this moment, many thoughts emerged in his mind.

If she could only unleash her full power, the great revival of the mutual aid society would be here now.

"For the greater good, please use your power to change this country, and even the world."

Batu half-knelt on the ground, his eyes full of fanaticism.

Mernadette took a step back.

Before inheriting the power, she could be selfish in many things.

But after inheriting the power, Mernadé always told herself that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.

Especially after knowing her identity, she used higher standards to restrain herself.

In her understanding, as someone who inherited this power, she should be responsible for everyone in this world.

Whether it is a minority or the majority, she should protect them.

However, although she had the power to rule the world at this time, she was unable to truly and perfectly realize all her ideas.

She doesn't want to give up on anyone, but sometimes pursuing perfection too much will only restrict herself.

Just like now, the curse of the only Creator, the conflict of thoughts, the power to end everything...

Everything told her that her choice was right.

But there was also a voice telling Mernade that making the right choice meant she was denying the standards she had set for herself.

Now she gave up the few people she thought she would never give up for the right thing.

"I'm just an ordinary person after all..."

"Gods and such... Maybe... I will never be the god my brother mentioned..."

Mernadette smiled self-deprecatingly and gradually let go of some things.

At the same time, the smile on Diana's face grew even wider.

P.S. Habit is a terrifying force. I stopped updating for a few days at the beginning of the month to renew my driver's license. I finally started updating again, but my friend was pulled out of his biannual family leave. When I came back... I found that I had already adapted to not updating.

Anyway... I'll start adjusting my status from today, and try to resume updating 4,000 words a day next month like before...o(╥﹏╥)o

Chapter 431 Chapter 101 Their respective calculations

"I can't use my power to change the world as you think." Mernadette clenched her fists and said seriously.

Fitch looked at her in disbelief.

He didn't understand why such a great being as his mentor said such words at this time.

“The world is much more complicated than you think. There are many things you can’t do just because you want to.”

"I will resign as the leader of the mutual aid association."

"I probably don't have the qualifications to sit in that position and make decisions anymore."

After saying these words, Mernadé felt that a lot of pressure on her shoulders suddenly loosened.

Then he disappeared in front of Fitch.

Diana's hand slowly fell on his head. "Although I'm angry that you've caused her grief, I'll reward you for being able to break away from the Mutual Aid Association and her former self."

"Since you like using your strength to help others so much."

"Then I will grant you power."

"I hope you can bring what you believe is hope to this country."

A silver-white force fell on him.

In a flash, Fitch, who was originally just a high-level transcendent, gained the power of a demigod.

He even gained the power to stand at the top of demigod.

"If you can stay true to your heart, if you can always persist in doing the right thing, perhaps one day in the future you will become a new god."

Diana smiled gracefully, then waved her hand and disappeared from Fitch's sight with the others.

If there wasn't someone around, Diana really wanted to roll on the ground holding her stomach and laughing.

There are many things that you need to figure out on your own.

Although she knew that with Mernadette's personality, even if she quit the mutual aid group now, she would still take care of some things. Even though she seemed to have suffered a great blow now, it would not be long before she would devote herself to her career again with full energy.

But some of the things she figured out today will eventually change her personality.

Let her stop being so naive and stop putting too much pressure on herself.

According to her expectations and what Charles said in the books he gave her.

Mernadette will probably get back to doing what she can with her down-to-earth approach.

She would no longer bear the fate of the majority and the minority on her own shoulders.

In many cases, she may not be able to make a choice, but if there is someone she trusts around her, she will be willing to give the other person the right to choose.

This person could be Charles or she.

And they all have one thing in common.

Perhaps they have kindness in their hearts, and compared to most people they can be considered good people. They also don't mind doing good things within their ability.

But the premise of all this is that those things do not affect yourself.

As long as it involves themselves, they will not care about worldly good or evil, but will only make the choice that is most beneficial to themselves.

"Noah...you helped me a lot..."

"You've always thought of her as a deity, but you probably didn't realize that while she's still herself, her divinity has been washed away."

The current Mernade, as well as those righteous gods who were resurrected and died in the past, are still gods in terms of their soul essence.

But they are still very different from the righteous gods.

As Diana argued, she realized that the essence of their reincarnated souls was not the same as when they were righteous gods.

But they were before they became true gods.

In other words, although Mernadette still has a noble character.

But the essence represented by this character is that of a person with the highest moral character in their time.

She is still in the category of human, but after becoming a true god, she is like a god because of her virtue, strength, and even habit.

The essence of their souls has already changed.

If it were them back then, Diana wouldn't have the slightest confidence to change them. After all, if things could be changed, countless reincarnations wouldn't have left the future unchanged.

But now she...

I guessed it right...

Diana laughed, but then some tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

If I hadn’t been so obsessed with changing the past, I would have come to them instead.

It wouldn't be the case that she is the only one left now.

Although this was their own choice, they had asked her not to interfere.

But after spending a long time with Charles, a thought always emerged in Diana's mind - why should she listen to them?

Even if I am blamed or hated.

At least by doing that, they won't disappear but will still be by your side.

But it’s a little late to think about these things now.

Ciel has inherited the powers of the Goddess of the Sea and the God of War and Glory, and the Eternal Blazing Sun is completely dead.

Even if she has come to her senses now, it is too late.

Really... Even though he claims to be the most selfish god, he is still influenced by them in the end?

Diana didn't know whether she should cry or laugh for a moment.

"Hey, Anna, long time no see." With a hearty smile, Noah came to Anna's side.

"It's you." Anna, who was rehearsing, stopped what she was doing, then held her chin and looked at Noah curiously.

The other person appeared in front of her not in the form of a human, but in the form of a shadow.

In Noah's words, his existence is due to the power of the blood inheritance in Anna's body, and it is a body of thought born out of her strong curiosity about certain things.

Anna believed this nonsense that even ghosts wouldn't believe.

Perhaps it was because Anna acted not very smart that Noah made up this excuse.

After all, he deeply understood one truth in his life experience.

For stupid people, don't make up overly complicated reasons. On the contrary, the simpler and more crude the reasons are, the more likely they are to believe them.

As for the shadow that appeared beside Anna, it was actually Noah himself.

Or what he looked like at a certain period of time.
