This is the story of a magician and an elf girl.

"Listen carefully... Linna... I will give you the power of the goddess now..."

"...Goddess..."

"I told you... I don't need the power of the goddess!"

“Whoosh, bang, boom!”

At this time, the dryads whose bodies were pierced by the hellhound's breath fell to the ground one after another, and Linnae, who was increasingly exhausted by the situation, had very little spiritual power left...

"You won't win if you do that. Cerberus is thousands of times more powerful than this monster. The magician has already made up his mind to change the world... You no longer have the means or qualifications to convince him..."

"Even so! I still believe in my brother! He will listen to me!"

The hellhound that was biting the tree spirits was like a mad monster, slaughtering them with its body of hellfire, not giving Linnai or other elves any chance to attack. In the blink of an eye, it evaporated the arrows and the spiritual power in the atmosphere, and the scorching heat was gradually rising.

"Perhaps. Even if he listens to you, the monster in front of you will not listen to you. In the end, you need the power of authority to establish a position to talk to him. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I'm tired of hearing these words... I..."

"Now the continent is full of scenes of hellhounds attacking the living... Adventurers are also fighting... If they can't hold on... Can you protect them through dialogue?"

"……this……"

Linnae knew very well what Aphrodite's words meant. She knew very well that the monster in front of her would not only not obey what she said, but would also kill the adventurers and other living people from the outside world.

Jack... Wendy... Youzi... Light... Athena... Everyone... I... I have to protect them...

"——When the world is about to be covered by light... another light will collide with it... This prophecy is the information I extracted from the near future through the goddess of time... It is also information about the future... You have only one choice, that is to become another light - become a pure and innocent elf goddess. "

“I…I…”

“Bang, bang, bang, bang!”

While Linna was still confused, her companions in front of her were still fighting, fighting for victory. Linna, who was relieved to see the light of life in them, naturally wanted to use her own strength to protect them and stop them from suffering.

But if I become a goddess... and die... that person... and everyone else... will definitely...

"——Don't feel so uneasy... Linna... Although I said... that you need to keep a normal mind to use the power of the goddess... But even we, as goddesses, can't do this... It's probably too much of a stretch for you mortals..."

"...If that's the case...then why are you still——"

"——So if Linaru obtains my authority... then you will be able to do it... right?"

"! 』

Linna was very surprised by Aphrodite's words. While dodging the attack, she also had Xiaobi release the Mist Spear to fight back the attack from the Hellhound. As the others also released their skills, she talked to her again: "Is this... this kind of thing okay..."

"...According to the rules...it is not allowed...The goddess cannot transfer her power to any living being...If you do this...you will lose your status as a goddess and your life...The moment I hand over my power to you, I will be punished by the heavens...I will turn into foam and disappear..."

"...Now that you know... why——"

"——Please... Linna... accept it... I don't want to bear this guilt anymore..."

"Guilt...what do you mean..."

"...I...I am actually the one who caused all this—"

“—Bang, boom, boom, boom, boom!”

The hellhounds' attacks were getting more and more fierce. During the period when Aphrodite told Linnae the truth, they had become more and more crazy and lawless. If this continued, even Linnae's huge spiritual power and the power of the dryad would be exhausted sooner or later - they were running out of time.

"Is this... true...?"

"...It's all true...I have been thinking about how to make amends to you...so please accept it...even if it's my atonement...even if it's my final compensation...please don't...don't make me suffer any more, okay...I can't bear it anymore...all of this is my fault...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I made you two...be like that...I'm really...I'm so sorry...I took away your happiness...I'm really sorry...At this point, I don't have the right to beg for your forgiveness...I only have this power...please accept it..."

"..."

After knowing the truth, Linnae realized that it was not just Athena, but also the things done by Aphrodite that led to all this, whether it was the reason why Zeus exiled Hera, or the reason why Hera brought hatred to the world, or the reason why the magician wanted to change the world.

Everyone is looking for a solution to their suffering, just to solve the cause of the spread of hatred and people's inner dissatisfaction. Many great gods and figures have fallen into the vortex of cause and effect and are trapped.

Obviously, all you need to do is forgive the other person.

For some reason, these words that could change everything popped up in Linnae's mind.

Just forgive the other person, let go of the chain of cause and effect, and only by letting go of the hatred in your heart can you change this situation that continues to deteriorate.

Just like the gray wolves who forgave Linnae out of kindness, although they are creatures with little intelligence, they also understand that this is their only way out, so they did not attack Linnae. Wild beasts without reason and intelligence will know how to give up the superficial anger in their hearts. This is the long-cherished wish of all creatures and the purpose of survival.

Hera could not forgive Zeus, Hades could not forgive Hera, Athena could not be forgiven by Hera, and the magician could not forgive the law that took everything away from him, so he embarked on the chain of cause and effect they left behind, whether it was the heavy responsibility, great hatred, or the tormenting pain, which had been imposed on him from the distant past to the present.

He inherited a lot of hatred and was tormented by many misfortunes. The more he understood these things, the more he could not forgive the existence of the laws and order of this world. He was forced to understand all the suffering in the world and made changes - so he had no ability to forgive all of this, not even himself.

And now, the person who can forgive him has actually appeared a long time ago.

Become another new light and appear before him. This time, it is up to you to save him, Linnai.
