Chapter 134
“Your appearance is a mess.”
The Edel I saw after a long time looked quite different from the one in my memory. For a moment, I even mistook her for someone else… no, another god. The hair that once shone brightly with divine power had lost its luster, and her once-sparkling eyes were now clouded with darkness.
“Haha. Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black? Aren’t we both in the same boat here?”
“Well…”
…That’s true. As Edel pointed out, my condition wasn’t great either, making it hardly appropriate for me to criticize her appearance. In this state, it was like a dog covered in chaff scolding a dog covered in dung. So, I changed the topic.
