Chapter 254 -254-Departure and Return
The voice of the Luck Goddess was light and pure—soothing, gentle, and entirely unlike the usual imposing tones one might expect from a god. Instead, her voice carried the charm and energy of a cheerful young girl.
Daniel couldn’t help but recall the statue of the Luck Goddess that he had seen before. The statue, too, depicted her as a vibrant, youthful maiden. Now, her voice matched the image perfectly.
On the other side, Aurelia, the newly ascended Goddess of Gold and Silver, responded swiftly to the Luck Goddess’s words. Without hesitation, she issued a command to retreat.
Even the Sun God Apollo, though clearly unwilling, dared not go against a divine decree. As much as he simmered with dissatisfaction, he obeyed without question.
It was at this moment that Daniel suddenly noticed something peculiar. Standing beside Aurelia were several angels he had seen during the previous war between the devotees.
Back then, Daniel had personally used [Mind Hunt] to mark them with a persistent mental corruption debuff—a lingering contamination meant to weaken and slowly unravel them.
But now, that effect had been completely lifted—cleansed by none other than Aurelia herself.
A system notification popped up in front of Daniel, confirming the removal of the debuff.
Daniel sighed with slight regret. So mental corruption, while incredibly potent, could still be purified—but only by a god.
He had originally thought that Aurelia, not yet being a true god at the time, wouldn’t be able to cleanse such an effect. Clearly, he had underestimated her. Or rather, he had misjudged the timing of her divine ascension.
Meanwhile, the towering figure of Apollo began to shrink steadily in the skies above.
The massive cracks covering his divine body—cracks caused by the backlash of universal law—were also rapidly healed under Aurelia’s power.
