Chapter 216 The Divine War Part 3

“Ahhh…”

In other words…

Da Bai…

Is actually inside my body!?

I was somewhat stunned, looking at the dancer with a blank expression. “What you said… can you be sure?”

“Heh.”

The dancer let out a light laugh. “This isn’t about whether I can be sure or not. It’s about whether you, Silviana, will believe, believe in someone you consider a heretic and villain, believe in what she says to you here.”

Her words were calm yet forceful. “Regarding matters of the gods and some of their powers, the reason I know these things is because I’ve seen the predecessors of the Truth Gate through your eyes, the demons and heretics you see, who have retained parts of ancient manuals and documents for many years. Based on the information recorded there, I can make a clearer judgment of the current situation, and those coughs…”

She covered her chest, coughed lightly twice, her face turning even paler, but her expression remained calm. After catching her breath, she continued, “And those ancient manuals were long ago banned by the church under the pretext of heresy and burned extensively. Today, they would never appear before the people of West Continent, or before you, as fragments of records of the true history of this world.”

The dancer paused.

“You grew up in a noble family, receiving church-style education, listening to so-called saints telling their beautiful stories. But in fact, the world is not as they say it is…”

“You cannot know what I know, you cannot read the ancient books that the church has forbidden, you do not understand the true predicament facing this world, the cruel truths… Not just you, even I, after seeing the history recorded in the ancient books, there is a small part of it that I have always been unwilling to, dare not believe.”

“But…”

She turned her tone, saying, “But,” then looked back at me, her sky-blue eyes filled with an unprecedented coldness and gravity.

“Those absurd, seemingly incomprehensible, human acts of madness in the past. Silviana, even I did not want to believe it before I came here. But now… I have no choice but to believe.”

“Because I have already witnessed the consequences firsthand, that is here, the remains of the dragons, those once beautiful but now rotten fairies… and the gods consumed by hatred… I have seen these, and you have seen them too.”

“Although there are still many unclear points, at this moment, I am already very clear… I know that the content recorded in those fragments of ancient books, some of which are chilling and hard to believe,那段丑陋贪婪、荒谬至极的历史, is not something I previously guessed might have been fabricated to escalate conflicts… It is all true, and I am increasingly convinced.”

The woman brushed her red dress with her right hand, her gaze intense, staring at my face as she softly asked, “I can tell you everything, and when you leave here alive, I will show you all the fragments I have seen. But you… Silviana, will you believe me?”

“…”

I didn’t respond for a while.

Actually, there is a part of it that I believe…

At least regarding Da Bai, I already believe what she said—because that is what I want to believe, Da Bai is fine, it is in my body right now, and one day I will see it again—I want to believe this, it will allow me to breathe a sigh of relief.

But as she said, I already know now that history is nothing but stories fabricated by the church; I no longer trust the church—should I turn back and immediately believe in some heretical version of the story?

The woman before me is a villain who values human lives as if they were weeds, doing whatever it takes to achieve her goals.

What else wouldn’t she do?

I can’t trust her at all.

As for what she said about this world being mine, whether I believe it or not, I’m mostly indifferent, not really caring. I have no interest in this black scorched earth filled with ashes and rotting fairies. Not only is it dirty and stinky, but there’s also a bloody tumor on it…

Who would want such a place…

And even if it belonged to me in the future, so what? As long as I enter, those fairies will attack me, and they—

…Huh?

Why aren’t they attacking anymore…

As my thoughts turned, I suddenly realized that during the time I was talking with the dancer, those fairies had stopped their assault. No more spears and arrows were coming, and even the ferocious wolves had retreated.

“Hey, look.”

I quickly alerted the dancer, pointing ahead toward the thick fog.

The atmosphere felt strange…

I looked up and saw that among the rugged and undulating rocks, the fairies and wolves that originally surrounded us seemed to be hiding in the mist, their shadows appearing and disappearing. At this moment, they all stopped moving, no longer throwing spears or shooting arrows, instead turning to look at… It appeared they were looking at the tumor atop the rock peak.

“Akatoka…”

“Akuda, Akatoka…”

Mysterious whispers that sounded like incantations mixed with the growls of beasts, creating an eerie commotion from all directions.

There were more fairies than I had imagined…

I frowned slightly.

“What’s wrong with them…”

Clanging sounds kept coming from the darkness, which I recognized as the sound of fairies dropping their weapons to the ground. Then, countless shadows hidden in the fog, facing the rock peak, one after another, slowly, slowly—

Knelt down.

“They sense the divine pressure…”

The dancer moved in front of me, her red dress swirling, her hair tousled, her tone unusually solemn: “Silviga, leave this place, using the power of the white twig.”

“…”

But how do you use that thing?

Wait, am I just going to leave?

“What do you want.”

Of course, I wouldn’t ask this woman what happens to her if I leave; it’s none of my business whether she lives or dies. Rather, dying here or being trapped forever with those fairies, rotting away slowly, would be her deserved fate.

Just…

I raised my head, following the woman’s gaze, gazing up at the rock peak.

The wind surged between the rocks, and the gray sky wailed in the darkness.

Rumble rumble rumble…

A violent tremor shook the earth, the black rocks beneath my feet trembling again. I heard the wolves’ fearful whimpers and the fairies’ panicked whispers.

They were in awe, in fear…

In my vision, the enormous tumor hovering above the peak suddenly writhed violently, then exploded into a sea of blood, bursting open.

Boom—

With a deafening, massive sound, countless pieces of flesh and blood burst forth from the peak, scattering like the blooming of evil flowers, showering the sky.

Something huge and inexplicably strange fell from the exploding flesh onto the peak.

“What is that…”
