"You were not noticed by Him because of your talent, but because of ."
She looked at her sister, who had long been seen as an evil and mad existence by others, yet still retained the innocence of their childhood, and sighed as she revealed the cruel truth.
"It’s because you are my sister that you were targeted by Him..."
Crack!
Teeth clenched tight, Stella’s emotions went completely out of control as she struggled frantically.
"No, you’re lying to !"
Even though struggling fiercely caused large amounts of blood to burst from her body, she remained oblivious as she howled.
"I know! You’re lying to again! You’re lying to , aren’t you!?"
At that mont, Stella desperately wished Svanni would break into a mocking smile after her roar, admitting she had been toying with her.
But Svanni did not.
She rely looked at her with eyes full of sorrow and helplessness...
Don’t look at like that!
You should be looking at with mockery; that’s how it should be!
No...
This isn’t true.
It’s not!
Stella gradually stopped struggling, lowered her head, and with a voice like prayer, mournfully said, "No, it shouldn’t be like this, my Lord, this isn’t true..."
Fate had never been kind to her; only the gods had ever given her warmth.
But now, even this divine affection, is it fake too?
If... if even this affection is false, then what does all my years of dedication an?
She prayed to the gods, but received no response.
The gods ignored her.
Cruelly and rcilessly, they abandoned her.
Just as one would discard a worthless rag.
After Stella cald down sowhat, Svanni looked toward the center of the black serpent ceremony and said slowly:
"Stella, you didn’t seek Him out; you were implicated by , because the God of Sinful Desire targeted first."
"At that ti, an accidental experint caught His attention on my research."
"The God of Sinful Desire valued my talent and ’generously’ offered help, bestowing power without asking for anything in return."
Recalling the scene at that ti, Svanni clenched her fists, then slowly relaxed her grip.
Before her, Stella would feel powerless against her, and she felt the sa weakness and helplessness when facing the gods.
"Though I knew the God of Sinful Desire harbored a strong malicious intent toward , I was unable to resist and could only passively receive forbidden knowledge from Him."
Everyone understands that the Evil God doesn’t give gifts without ulterior motives; there must be more demands behind it.
But even knowing this, what could be done?
Before the gods, mortals have no right to refuse.
It’s the absolute crushing of the weak by a higher-tier existence; the lower being cannot resist, and it is fortunate just to not collapse in despair.
With a sigh, Svanni shook her head gently and said in a soft voice, "No, back then I was too arrogant, thinking I could find a way to extricate myself."
"After so hesitation, I finally accepted the gift and continued my research according to the knowledge He supplented."
She candidly admitted the mistakes she made back then.
Mortals were foolish, thinking they could deceive the gods.
Dancing on the edge of a knife, seeking risks in the fire, trying to use divine power to complete their own research.
"As the research progressed, I gradually sensed sothing was wrong; He wasn’t helping complete the research, but secretly guiding to complete His purpose—the God of Sinful Desire was trying to create a perfect vessel for Him to descend upon the Mortal Realm indefinitely."
The gods of this world remain in their own Divine Kingdoms for extended periods.
Within their own Divine Kingdom, where there is an abundance of Divine Power, gods gain bonuses equivalent to having endless mana and health, becoming almost invincible.
Even High Tier gods find it difficult to forcefully destroy Low Tier gods within their own Divine Kingdoms.
As long as a battle involves a Divine Kingdom, ninety percent of the ti it turns into a protracted and lengthy divine war.
Leaving the Divine Kingdom ans breaking this invincible status; once mana is depleted, it’s depleted; once health is gone, it’s gone, making them vulnerable to easy defeat.
Therefore, except for a few wanderlust entities, most gods would not easily leave their realms.
Even an infamous Evil God like the God of Sinful Desire would usually remain in His own Divine Kingdom, at most possessing a Divine Favorer.
But this Evil God was greedy; He wanted to obtain a perfect vessel for a long-term descent.
Thus, He targeted Svanni, hoping to achieve His goal through her.
But unexpectedly, Svanni eventually chose to refuse.
A mortal actually rejected the demands of a god!
"This went against my purpose; I rely wanted to explore the limits of flesh and blood, not create a divine descending vessel."
Svanni wanted to find a path to ascend to godhood through flesh and blood, not to deceitfully use divine gifts to create a puppet.
"Later, using an opportunity, I betrayed Him and found a way to shield His sight in one location."
"Though I lost His help, I finally gained tranquility."
Svanni withdrew her cold gaze from the ceremony and looked back at her already stupefied sister.
"You want to know why I can control your power, the reason is quite simple, because I once possessed the sa power you have."
"Though I didn’t agree, I was once regarded as His Devotee."
