Chapter 590: The slot crisis
Sofia played around with the flames for about a minute, noticing that what it burned and what it didn’t was pretty inconsistent, until she started to feel a strange pull, as if the essence cores in her chest were being held back by something.
The flames started to weaken and sputter.
“Running out of energy?” Alith asked.
“I have no idea. Maybe the energy of the divine essences is depleted?” Sofia guessed, there was no clear explanation for what was going on.
“That fast? You didn’t even do much besides burning a bit of grass…”
“I know, I find it weird too but there’s no oth-” Sofia started, but stopped as the flames completely burned out. “Ah. It just turned off by itself,” she explained.
“Maybe auntie Sun wanted her power back?” Bookie guessed from the side, sitting in the grass and clumsily trying to weave his flowers together.
“Maybe? Let me see if I can activate it again…” Sofia said, before trying and failing to activate [Mockery of the Divine] once more. “Strange…”
“How does it feel, is it like trying to cast a spell with no mana?” Alith asked, but Sofia shook her head in denial.
