Chapter 168: Wake Up, You Damned Lazy System!
Envi’s POV:
I didn’t know where I was. All I could see was darkness—deep, endless darkness.
Then I began to dream. But it wasn’t like any dream I’d had before. It felt too real... like a memory. And somehow, I just knew—it didn’t belong to me. It belonged to the God of Darkness.
In the vision, I saw him standing beside the Goddess of Benevolence. The two of them were locked in battle, fighting desperately against some overwhelming force. They looked exhausted—cornered. I was confused. Weren’t they supposed to be enemies? Why were they fighting side by side?
I couldn’t make out what they were fighting against, but whatever it was... it had terrifying, destructive power—something that felt beyond comprehension.
Then I saw it.
The God of Darkness threw himself in front of the Goddess of Benevolence, shielding her from a fatal blow. The attack tore through him, his body and soul starting to break apart.
He looked at her with sorrow in his eyes and whispered, "Forgive me..."
She cried—real tears, full of pain—and held him tightly as his body crumbled into countless shards of light and shadow, scattering into the void.
I stood frozen, not knowing what to feel. Confused. Powerless.
I tried to reach the Goddess of Benevolence, to hold her, to comfort her—but I couldn’t move. My hands passed right through her.
