In a small world, isolated from the rest of the world.
For the Small World, a scepter-level treasure, its power lies in controlling this expanse of space, isolated from the rest of the world.
If the Infinite Sea is a vast ocean, then this small world, isolated from the rest of the world, is like an island.
This island is closely connected to the Infinite Sea, and there's no problem in considering both as part of it.
After all, such spaces are not uncommon.
Various uncontrollable interlayers are also favorite hiding places for many powerful beings.
At this moment, within the small world, Alka and the others stood.
However, only Alka, Sofia, and Lucilia were present.
Alka and Sofia were here because they were planning to begin their plan today: to teach the Moon Goddess in the sky a lesson.
Whether or not their plan succeeded, it would alleviate the resentment they harbored. If successful, the current chaotic situation of the sun and moon mingling together will be resolved once and for all.
"Urulius and the others are eager to see the entire process. If you're able, please record it,"Sofia said with a smile.
After all, Jason and the others can't offer much help in this operation.
So, naturally, they remain on the front lines, fending off those demons.
However, in the outside world, the sun and moon still shone together, and today the moon's light was even more intense.
At least, by observing the sky, they could determine whether Alka and the others' operation was successful.
As for Lusilia...
She simply came here to take a look during her break.
It's been two years since Lusilia took control of the Soul Palace and began transporting souls to reincarnation.
Over the past two years, the transport of souls and the entire process have begun to operate. While not yet as perfect as before, a simple order has at least been established.
This simple order has brought a great deal of order to the world, even relieving considerable pressure on the gods above it.
This also allowed Lucelia to ascend to godhood a year ago.
She became the first god in their ranks.
However, Lucelia's name remains limited to the souls of the Styx.
Some scholars who study souls and the cycle of death have learned of the changes that have taken place in the world over the past two years.
However, they have not yet learned of the emergence of a new goddess within the Styx.
A god has silently appeared, silently, unnoticed.
"How could the Styx girl have the leisure to observe our actions?" Alka teased, looking at Lucelia beside her.
Lucilia was now barefoot, her wrists and ankles adorned with matte, almost non-reflective silver bells.
They were strung together with ropes that resembled mist.
With every step and movement, a resonant tinkling sound could be heard. This resonant sound penetrated her soul, calming it and allowing it to follow her every movement.
"Should you pay your respects to the Styx Girl? Otherwise, your soul will be cast into the dry earth and you will walk into the river," Lucilia said with a smile.
Hearing this, Alka bowed respectfully.
"Yes, esteemed Styx Girl."
The Styx Girl wasn't a title uttered by anyone, but rather a divine name bestowed upon Lucilia by the world.
Anyone who sought to understand Lucilia would first acquire this title.
Lucelia's true name would gradually fade behind the title of "Girl."
If Lucelia so desired, now that she had ascended to godhood, she could naturally erase her name from anyone's mind, unless that name was known to a being of her own rank.
"Speaking of your ascension, we were completely unaware. It's a shame we didn't witness it firsthand," Sofia said, holding Lucelia's hand.
Hearing this, Lucelia herself felt a little embarrassed.
"To be honest, I didn't even know about the ascension.
I was so busy that I didn't even notice. After I finished, if Melissa hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known I'd become a god."
This unconscious ascension made Lucelia feel awkward.
After all, it was such a significant process.
And yet, she was too busy to notice.
This was also why she hadn't told Alka and the others about her deification.
Because Alka and the others would surely scold her for keeping them in the dark during her ascension, for not witnessing this crucial moment.
"Alright, enough of this. Don't you have important matters to attend to?"
The two nodded.
Then Lucilia retreated to the side and quietly began to watch.
She rarely had time to rest.
She had come here simply to prevent any unforeseen events.
After all, she was already a god.
Alka and the others also turned their attention back to their business.
But what they needed was quiet waiting.
And now, they weren't standing on the flat ground of the small world, but atop a thousand-meter-tall stone pillar.
The circular stone pillar stretched from the ground, reaching into the sky.
And the three of them were at the top of this pillar.
At this moment, Alka deliberately transformed the small world's environment into darkness, allowing the moonlight hanging in the sky to be clearly seen.
However, within the small world, there were indeed two moons.
One was the cool moonlight of the Moon Maiden, the brightest moon within the small world, and its cool, clear light could be felt every night.
The other moon was the moon of the Moon Goddess, emitting a hint of warmth and looming in the distance.
Because this moon didn't intentionally shed its light upon the small world, it was only visible because the small world was close to the Boundless Sea.
Suddenly, they felt the Moon Maiden's cool moonlight grow stronger, and they knew she had begun to act.
This was especially true for the first step in Alka's plan.
First, they needed to use the Moon Maiden's powerful force to create a disturbance, affecting the Moon Goddess.
Seizing this opportunity, Alka began to use some means to move closer to the Moon Goddess within the mezzanine.
It wasn't a physical approach, but rather a more abstract one.
As the moonlight grew stronger,
It was clear that the cold, clear light began to affect the blue moon beside him.
It seemed the time had come.
Alka immediately made his figure illusive.
Sofia and Lucilia looked at Alka beside them and could sense that although Alka was beside them, he seemed to be moving away.
Because Alka was, in a sense, moving away, closer to the Moon Goddess.
Now, like a thief, he was stealthily approaching.
Close enough.
Now, on the battlefield outside,
Jason, perched on the back of the Urulius dragon, froze a demon into pieces with a crystal bullet and then looked up at the sky. Two moons and a sun appeared in the sky.
This strange sight only exacerbated the surrounding chaos.
The demons grew even more frantic.
"Two moons? If I remember correctly, that moon was the old moon, right? Have Alka and the others begun their move?" Jason's voice reached Ululius's ears.
Ululius rolled in the air, looked up at the sky, then adjusted his position and continued fighting the demons.
"That should be right. Alka and the others have begun their move."
...
"This isn't your world? Why are you constantly interfering?" The Moon Goddess frowned as she looked at the illusory figure before her.
"Although it's not my world, I've let my light shine here for ten thousand years, haven't I? Besides, Oliluspin and I are friends.
If you don't want to lose your moonlight, leave this world. Perhaps you can still survive?"
The Moon Maiden said with a smile.
Though the two gods seemed to be conversing peacefully here, their mutual power was already manifesting in the outside world.
The power of the two emerging moonlights was mutually repelling.
Faced with the powerful Moon Maiden's moonlight, even though the Moon Maiden's true form wasn't here, but far away,
The Moon Goddess had to take the mere sight of her projected moonlight seriously.
She was a natural-born deity who had existed since the Golden Age.
She was not a powerful deity.
She seemed proud, but she was indecisive, relying on the strong for survival, always seeking protection.
Having her divine power stripped from her by the world was her darkest moment.
She was neither the first nor the second to ascend to godhood, but the last to return to the throne.
She didn't achieve this on her own.
She relied on her beauty and a certain mastery over people's hearts.
She lured the power she had fallen from, convincing that large power and castle to help her gain divine power and return to godhood.
However, the first step in returning to godhood was to wipe that city-state off the map, completely annihilating her mortal self.
And the Moon Maiden before her could become the Saint's friend, a supreme friend, no weakling. To shine her moonlight into a world that didn't belong to her was not something that any ordinary being could achieve.
She, too, was a supreme being within the astral realm.
As the two Moon Goddesses clashed in the air,
It was unknown when the Flower Fairy appeared nearby.
Her figure appeared beside the two of them.
"You have no power to shake me," the Moon Goddess said, watching the approaching Flower Fairy.
The Moon Girl was able to clash with her because she, too, was the moon.
Their bodies weren't actually there; they were merely shadows clashing in the air, using moonlight to squeeze each other's living space.
Their main objective was to compete for whose moonlight would shine upon the boundless sea.
The Flower Fairy simply smiled, then looked at the Moon Goddess and said, "I suddenly remembered something. I can't remember who told me. He said that during the period when you were stripped of your divine powers, you gave birth to a child with a powerful mortal.
At that time, you were inexperienced, afraid of battle, and terrified of death. You relied on your means and beauty to seduce a mortal and have sex with him.
With his strength and his people, he helped you regain those divine powers. During this time, you even gave birth to a demigod."
"Interestingly, we were completely unaware of all this. But I suddenly remembered that you destroyed a mortal kingdom back then.
You wouldn't... wipe out your own child along with it, would you?"
The sudden words caused the Moon Goddess's pupils to constrict, and the power of the moon was instantly suppressed.
She reacted immediately and began to defend herself.
One of her deepest secrets had been unearthed so brazenly.
"Why do you know? No, this matter is no longer important." The Moon Goddess, after her earlier panic, reacted in a flash and said nonchalantly.
If the world hadn't been destroyed before this news spread, her followers and other gods would have looked at her with strange eyes.
But now, it clearly didn't matter.
At this moment,
Alka, who had come with the Flower Fairy, had already begun to influence his surroundings while the Flower Fairy was speaking.
He began to use his power to steal control of the world.
He was stealing the world's control over the divine, and he was specifically targeting Moonlight. Only by further subdividing it would he have a greater chance of stealing it.
Clearly, he had indeed stolen it.
However, a wave of grief began to overwhelm his mind, and it only lasted for 10 minutes.
Looking at the control he had stolen, Alka didn't know which one he wanted. He could only use it directly and covertly.
Of course, his use was rather crude.
The moment he took control, golden pupils appeared in Alka's eyes.
The divinity within the Moon Goddess was clearly revealed.
However, due to the control, only some of the divinity was loosened.
Three orange scepter-level points of light and one red crown-level point of light.
A total of four points of light were loosened.
In other words, they were all related to the Moonlight.
It was just then that the Flower Fairy finished her words.
The Moon Girl's power began to overwhelm her.
Under the pressure of the two, the Moon Goddess had almost no time to care about anything else, her attention completely focused on resisting the two.
Coupled with her mental daze, she finally revealed a flaw. Taking a deep breath.
‐‐Alka reached out through the air and grabbed.
‐‐If you're going to grab something, grab something big.
‐‐The moment Alka grasped the object, she vanished from the spot.
‐‐"What's going on? What have you done?"
‐‐The Moon Goddess reacted immediately.
‐‐The Flower Fairy smiled and vanished from the spot, while the Moon Saint immediately strengthened her power, abandoning the all-out struggle, and vanished from the spot.
‐‐At this moment, the Moon Goddess no longer cared about her own moon.
‐‐She cared about what was missing from her body.
‐‐The moonlight of the night had vanished.
‐‐Her moon no longer shone with such brilliance.
‐‐Her once most core divinity had vanished.
‐‐The goddess's expression grew ferocious, bordering on madness. Her strength was declining.
"Damn it, you thieves, you bitches, I will..."
The entire star realm resounded with the Moon Goddess's vitriolic curses.
Then she calmed herself.
She immediately withdrew from the battle with the Moon Girl. In the sky above the Boundless Ocean, two moons vanished one after the other.
"Did Alka and the others succeed?" Jason couldn't help but exclaim as he watched.
Alka, however, was extremely anxious.
In his hand, he held a full moon-like gem, gleaming with brilliance. It was a divine essence.
It was of the highest crown rank.
But it was shrouded in the rich aura of the Moon Goddess, forcing it back into her body.
Clearly, the Moon Goddess beyond this world was working with Alka.
Fighting for control of him.
After all, this thing was stolen by Alka.
In some ways, it still belonged to the Moon Goddess.
Alka gazed at the gem, his eyes gleaming with gold.
He was looking into a deeper secret.
Now he had a bigger idea, one that would solve the problem once and for all.
No longer hesitating, he turned to Sofia.
"Quick, ask the Moon Maiden for help. Take this crown-level treasure."
Sofia was puzzled, but immediately nodded, clutching the Moon Gem tightly in his hand.
Soon, through her connection, the Moon Maiden's phantom appeared beside the two of them.
He immediately spotted the Moon Gem in Sofia's hand.
"You actually got it, but it seems it's about to be taken back," the Moon Maiden warned.
After all, this was a stolen item, and the benefactor was searching for it, not to mention that there was a connecting thread.
If it were taken away, their operation would be a complete failure. It would only scare the Moon Goddess; she would surely not dare to act as arrogantly as before.
But this was not what Alka had intended.
"Could you please help Sofia? I intend to have her steal the Moon Goddess's throne right now.
This world's throne has been vacant for a long time, and it longs for a new deity. The world will help her ascend to the throne.
Let her become the moon, ascending to the sky to illuminate the world."
Hearing this, Sofia turned her head, her eyes widening as she stared at Alka.
This link hadn't been there before.
The Moon Maiden looked at Alka, then back at Sofia, and nodded.
"With your strange power, maybe you can succeed. You can give it a try. I'm very interested."
