Chapter 554: Hunted by the God of Life
Chapter 554: Hunted by the God of Life
"No...you can't do it, really..." The girl shook her head repeatedly, her eyes full of despair.
She was well aware of the terrifying power of the pursuer, an existence that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Just recalling the aura it exuded made her feel short of breath.
She couldn't imagine what kind of fate these kind people would encounter when faced with such an existence, so she tried desperately to refuse their help, even if it meant facing death alone, rather than implicate others.
"Can you just pretend you haven't seen me? Don't get involved." The girl's voice was almost pleading, and tears were flashing in her eyes, which was the outward manifestation of her inner struggle.
How she wished these people would listen to her, stay away from this danger, return to a safe place, and continue to live a peaceful life.
However, she also knew that her words might not be able to convince them easily, after all, they all seemed so determined and persistent.
"Do you want to be an enemy of force majeure?" The girl, who originally spoke weakly, suddenly shouted.
This shout seemed to have exhausted all her strength. Her eyes were full of fear and despair, but also a determination to fight to the death.
She hoped that in this way these people would completely give up the idea of helping her and make them realize what an irresistible force they were about to face.
The pursuer, like a giant wheel of fate, ruthlessly crushed everything that stood in its way, and she was just an insignificant ant who could only struggle to survive in this dark fate alone, not wanting to let these innocent people fall into the same desperate situation.
"Force majeure? What does that mean?" Heita frowned, trying to find the answer from the other party's expression.
The word came out of the girl's mouth with an unquestionable sense of heaviness, which made Heita feel a little doubtful. However, she could hardly imagine what kind of existence could be called "force majeure". Is it really so powerful that people have no power to resist?
"Is the pursuer you are talking about a god?" Heita lowered her voice unconsciously.
If it is really God who is hunting this girl, then there must be some unknown reason, but what is this reason?
Heita's mind was working rapidly, trying to sort out some clues, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he felt and he couldn't find a clear thread.
Why would the gods hunt her down? Heita kept asking himself this question in his mind, but his eyes never left the girl.
Is it because of her unique healing ability?
Or maybe there is something about God hidden in her.
"How... did you know?" The girl took a few steps back, her eyes full of fear and surprise. Her body was trembling slightly, and her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move at all. She just subconsciously distanced herself from the black tower, as if this would allow her to avoid the truth that was about to be revealed.
When Heita saw the girl's drastic reaction, he became even more certain that his guess was almost correct.
"It's just a guess. From your description of the pursuer and the mysterious healing ability you displayed, I have to think in this direction. But don't worry, since we have decided to help you, we will not be afraid of the so-called gods."
The girl shook her head vigorously, her hair flying messily beside her cheeks. "The power of God is not something you can contend with. They can easily destroy this town, or even the whole world. I can't let you fall into such danger because of me." Her voice was filled with a hint of despair, and tears were welling up in her eyes, ready to burst out at any time.
In her understanding, gods are high and mighty beings, mortals are like ants in front of them, and any resistance is futile.
"We know this is dangerous, but are you willing to trust us and face it with us?"
"Moreover, we believe there must be unknown reasons behind all this."
"But we are confident that we can solve all the mysteries and even change the course of some things."
"No, you don't understand. It was the Goddess of Life who was hunting me down. She once told me in person that she would never allow this ability to exist in the world. She wanted to wipe out both me and this ability."
"God of Life?" Black Tower repeated.
Everyone looked at each other, as if communicating with their eyes.
I didn’t expect that this seemingly ordinary girl was not ordinary at all, and was actually involved with a god.
I heard Aglaya say before that the God of Life is the being who controls the vitality and vigor of all things in the world. He possesses mysterious and powerful power. He is the giver of life and the master of life.
But now, such a god has become the girl's pursuer. What is hidden behind this?
The girl raised her tear-stained face, looked at everyone with empty and desperate eyes, and continued, "She...she provided me with the source of this power in the name of the God of Life."
"She said that even if the healing power I used would consume her life force, it would only be a drop in the ocean. But even so, she would never allow me to continue living and continue to use this power."
Her body trembled slightly, and recalling the words of the God of Life made her fall into endless fear.
She didn't understand why her innate ability was regarded as a thorn in the side by the God of Life, and why she had to suffer such cruel hunting just because of this power.
Her heart was filled with grievances and resentment, but in front of the powerful God, she felt so small and powerless.
"She said I stole her power, but... I have had this ability since I was born. How could it be possible that she provided me with power? And it also consumed her vitality. This doesn't make sense, right?"
There was a glimmer of struggle and resistance in the girl's eyes. Although the light was very faint, it seemed particularly precious in this desperate darkness.
She tried to find a little recognition, a little trust and support from everyone's eyes.
She has been wandering in loneliness and fear for too long. Now, these people are her only hope. She longs to get answers and strength from them to fight against the seemingly invincible fate.
Her hands hung limply at both sides of her body, as if she had been crushed by this heavy fate and had lost the will and strength to resist.
At this time, Lin Yu comforted, "Don't worry, we will figure it all out together. Everything you have experienced is not your fault. Maybe the God of Life has her ulterior motives, but we will not let her succeed. After all, our goal is God."
Ji Zi walked forward, gently embraced the girl in her arms, and gently stroked her hair, trying to soothe the girl's wounded heart with her warmth.
“Don’t be afraid, you are no longer alone. We will work together to find a way to fight against this cruel fate. Even if our opponent is a god, we will never back down.” Ji Zi’s voice was gentle, like the warm sun in spring, penetrating the darkness and fear in the girl’s heart, making her feel a long-lost warmth and peace of mind.
This was a feeling she had never experienced before.
