"Magic and elemental damage reduction? There's such a great reward?"

Ying Ping's heart stirred, and he gently flicked the Hestia sword, returning it to its sheath.

"Wha...what?!"

"That movement was so fast that even I, Hermes, couldn't see it clearly..."

Hermes' eyes widened, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

"Is this...is this the end?"

"A fleeting moment?"

Hestia, Chizuka, and the others looked at each other in disbelief.

This is not surprising.

The monster that devoured Artemis's body was not particularly strong.

Despite the system message indicating that the level was not visible, it's worth noting that in the original work, even Bell, who was below level 3, could fight it to a standstill.

With Ying Ping's LV18 combat power plus several buffs, he was able to instantly achieve the effect of killing.

Yingping walked to the monster's disappearing remains and carefully peeled a piece of crystal that emitted a soft glow from the broken parts.

"Artemis, I've come to rescue you..."

He spoke softly and gently placed the crystal on the ground.

The moment the crystal touched the ground, it burst forth with dazzling light.

A figure that looked exactly like Artemis, but with a more sacred aura, slowly emerged.

Artemis in the crystal had her eyes tightly closed, tears welling in her eyes, and her pitiful and painful expression was completely unforgettable.

"Win...win?"

"Without using the power of Orion's Spear... relying solely on his own strength..."

Artemis stepped forward, trembling, and looked incredulously at Ying Ping and her own divine body before her.

【mission completed】

[Current level has been increased to: LV18 LV20]

[Gained new spell: Chains of Heaven]

"Yes, this monster isn't as strong as I thought."

"It is of course no match for me when I go all out."

Yingping felt the surging power within his body after the upgrade, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Just then, the eerie moon in the sky began to gradually dissipate, and sunlight once again shone on the sea of ​​trees.

Far away at the top of the Tower of Babel in Orario, Freya watched the moon gradually disappear into the sky, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"I won."

"It seems that a hero of this era is about to be born, and fate is on our side this time."

While everyone was still immersed in the joy of victory.

Artemis suddenly drew a small silver knife from her waist.

"Artemis? What do you want to do!"

Hestia screamed in terror.

"Stop, if you do that..."

Hermes also looked shocked.

"and many more!"

Yingping reached out to stop him, but it was too late.

Without hesitation, Artemis plunged the dagger into the crystal that sealed her divine body.

"Click—"

The crystal shattered instantly, turning into countless sparkling fragments.

The divine body instantly transformed into a beam of pure white light that shot into the sky, then exploded above the clouds, turning into countless golden specks of light that slowly drifted down.

"Are you crazy?!"

Hermes exclaimed in shock, his face showing utter astonishment for the first time.

Artemis, however, smiled with relief.

She turned around, her emerald green eyes gleaming with a calm light.

"Let me explain... The original Artemis died the moment she was devoured by Ontres."

Artemis placed her hand on her chest: "What I am now was originally just a remnant of her thoughts on the Orion Spear, which she summoned from the heavens with her last bit of divine power, merely a remnant of her soul and consciousness."

"As for me inside that magic stone you just saw..."

She looked up at the dissipating points of light in the sky: "That was just the shell left after being devoured by Entreles, possessing divine power but no consciousness."

“After I pierce it, it will die, and then the rule of being sent back to the heavens will be triggered.”

Artemis turned to Yingping, her eyes filled with tenderness: "But incredibly, because of someone's help, my longing has been reborn and has become my true form."

"I am now Artemis, yet I am not the Artemis I once was."

“I have memories and emotions from the past, but I am ultimately a completely new being... Most importantly, I can finally truly live.”

Upon hearing this, Hestia froze for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into tears.

She lunged at Artemis like a little girl: "Artemis, you idiot! You almost scared me to death!"

Artemis gently hugged her back and patted her back softly: "I'm sorry, Hestia, I made you worry."

Hermes regained his composure, stroked his chin thoughtfully, and said, "I see, so there's another trick to it."

"Simply splitting one's soul can prevent being sent back... I doubt anyone would have imagined that such a loophole existed in the rules for being sent back to Heaven."

He suddenly laughed: "Well, not everyone has the courage to split their soul like you. After all, a slight misstep could lead to death. It takes an incredible amount of willpower..."

"However, the fact remains that divine power was used improperly."

"As for whether you can remain in the lower realm, that depends entirely on the decision of the great god Uranus himself."

Upon hearing this, Artemis released Hestia, her gaze resolute: "No matter what, I will never regret my choice. Now I only want to be with my Orion forever."

Yingping stepped forward and gently took her hand: "Yes, Artemis, no matter what, Hestia and I are on your side. We will work together to persuade the great god Uranus."

Artemis returned his and Hestia's hands with a smile and said, "Thank you."

Just then, the golden specks of light falling from the sky suddenly converged into a beam and shot straight toward Artemis's forehead.

A golden crescent mark appeared on her forehead and then disappeared into her skin.

"What's going on...?"

Hestia looked at her best friend in surprise.

"I can't believe such a thing exists..."

Hermes couldn't help but show his surprise again.

"It seems the divine power that should have dissipated has returned to my body, and the celestial realm still recognizes me as the Moon Goddess..."

Artemis herself looked somewhat surprised.

[Attendant: Artemis]

[Exclusive Skill Unlocked: Moon Goddess's Descent (Can break through level restrictions and directly restore full strength)]

[Power level assessment at its peak: With enough time, it can destroy a planet; with a single strike, it can wipe out the planet's surface.]

Yingping's heart skipped a beat when he saw the system's notification.

Good heavens, she truly lives up to her title as the Goddess of the Moon.

Once her true power is unleashed, Artemis is capable of directly wiping out the earth's surface...

This power is many times stronger than I am now.

"Oh, my Goddess of the Moon!"

Yingping looked at Artemis and found her gazing at him with affection.

Orion... my beloved Orion....

Artemis called softly, her eyes brimming with tears, and embraced him: "Thank you... for saving me."

The sudden hug in front of everyone left Yingping momentarily dazed.

A faint floral fragrance lingered around Artemis, and her soft body trembled incessantly.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do."

Yingping gently patted her back, soothing her in a tender voice.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

Hestia realized what was happening, angrily rushed forward, and yanked Artemis out of Ying Ping's arms.

Her large, deep blue eyes burned with intense jealousy, and her cheeks flushed red with anger.

"Hestia?"

Why are you angry?

Artemis blinked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course I'm telling you that!"

"You are not allowed to hug Ying Pingjun! She is one of my family members!"

Hestia stood between the two like a hamster guarding its food, saying, "So—even if you're my best friend, it's not allowed!"

Hermes, watching from the side, shook his head and said, "Good heavens, to have two goddesses, both virgins, vying for your affections, Lord Yingping is truly blessed."

"Shut up, Hermes!"

Hestia turned around and roared, her twin tails sticking up in anger.

Elena, Kokoro, Chizuka, and Takina stood to the side, all with expressions of watching the drama unfold.

"Master is so amazing~"

Kokkoro cupped her cheeks in her hands, her eyes sparkling, "To think I could win over Lady Artemis..."

Elena gracefully covered her mouth with her sleeve and chuckled, "As expected of his master, even the goddess representing chastity can't resist his charm..."

"That's right, Captain, you're amazing!"

Chizuka excitedly grabbed Takina's hand and shook it vigorously.

"Is Master a goddess killer?"

Takina's violet eyes also sparkled with gossip.

Kokoro glanced at the two of them, blushing as she continued to mutter softly, "Don't you guys think that Master and Lady Artemis... look like a good match standing together?"

"Hey! Kokoro-chan! How could you say that!"

Hestia turned her head away angrily.

Then, she asked a pointed question: "By the way, Yingpingjun, let me ask you, between me and Artemis, who do you prefer?"

"Ah this..."
