Chapter 321: Goddess’s Rage (2)

Chapter 321: Goddess’s Rage (2)Oh Kang-Woo, who had been scrunched up while clenching his chest, flinched. He was honestly a little confused.

He had only just been selected as a Protector; although Gaia had swore on her Divinity that she would spare no support and love for him, it was a little out of nowhere.

It was as if he had been adopted, and his adoptive mother was showing him a little too much love as soon as he entered the household. Although it was not a bad feeling, he was still confused nonetheless.

Are you okay, my child?! Gaia approached Kang-Woo, who had collapsed on the floor in pain.

She was looking down at him on the verge of tears; no, she was actually crying a little.

Kang-Woos eyes were filled with confusion, but continued his performance.

Cough! Cough! I-Im alright

How can you say that when youre like this?! Gaia embraced Kang-Woo while shouting, trembling while shedding tears. Please Please do not die I cannot lose another child after Alec.

It had been a while since Kang-Woo had heard that name. Everything made sense as soon as he heard it.

If that was not the case, there was no way that she would mention Alec Osborne, who had died by the hands of Satan years ago. The fear in her voice, her genuine concern for her incarnation, Layla, as well as her attitude toward Kim Si-Hun all showed that she treated the humans that she had selected as Protectors as her real children.

Kang-Woo did not quite know how deep of a meaning that held, but he felt like they had not been empty words. A portion of her Divinity would likely be annihilated if she were to break the vow.

In Gaias perspective, Kang-Woo was nothing short of her savior. She likely had great interest in him even before she had selected him as a Protector.

Kang-Woo narrowed his eyes, lowering the ascending corners of his mouth with all his might.

Kang-Woo had seen her in a completely different light, other than simply being a troll. He was more than satisfied with becoming a retainer of a god, but she had even decided to treat him like her own child. It was honestly far better than what he had expected.

He wanted to beat the shit out of the people who had dared to call Gaia useless. She was more perfect than his wildest dreams.

Kang-Woo needed to stir Gaia up even more.

Haaa, haaa, Kang-Woo panted heavily while clenching his chest. He took a deep breath in and slowly got up. ... Im fine now.

Gaia stared at him with sunken eyes. Why did you not say anything?

Kang-Woo remained silent.

Tell me, my child, she said, as if scolding him.

Kang-Woo smiled in a way that looked as if it would shatter into pieces at even the slightest touch.

I was scared of losing them. Kang-Woo averted Gaias gaze and stared at Si-Hun, who was staring at him in shock. I have gained too much.

Silence fell. With a grimace, Gaia shouted, You Idiot!

Gaia strongly flicked Kang-Woos forehead. She then continued with a hardened face, I will hold off on the mission of sending you to Aernor for now. I cannot leave such a dangerous mission in your hands in that state.

No, you must. Kang-Woo shook his head. He grabbed Gaias hands and stared at her with blazing eyes, speaking with certainty, I have to go.

Gaias eyes shook.

It will take months just to open a Gate leading to Aernor. We cannot delay it, Kang-Woo stated.

But you

Lady Gaia. Kang-Woo tightened his grip on her hands and said again, I have to go.

Gaia remained silent. She also knew very well that they had to go to Aernor to eliminate the Demon Gods corpse and acquire Aernors protection. If it had not been urgent, she would not have entrusted this mission to Si-Hun and Kang-Woo in the first place.

My child

Gaias eyes shook. She caressed Kang-Woos cheek and lowered her head before she said, I am truly sorry For having you shoulder such a heavy burden.

She wanted to chase away the demonic energy within Kang-Woo this instant, but the fact that there were still traces of demonic energy within him despite having been chosen as a Protector meant that it had already spread to the point of it being nearly irreversible. If she forcibly tried to eliminate the demonic energy by using her Divinity, Kang-Woos life would be put at risk. There was only one way to eliminate the demonic energy within him, and that was to kill Rakiel, the root source.

Gaia asked, her voice filled with bloodlust, The Constellation of Corruption is currently on Earth, correct?

Uriel answered, Yes. He is plotting some sort of scheme here on Earth.

I see. Gaias eyes narrowed. Breathtaking energy flowed out from her and weighed down everything around her. Wings of Seraph, can I entrust you with the mission of locating Rakiel while I prepare the Gate leading to Aernor?

Of course. Uriel nodded without hesitation.

He had been

Rakiel stared at the monster with sunken eyes. Constellation of Agony. No matter what you say, I will not change my mind.

He spread out his ten wings, and black lightning sparked between them. The monster known as the Constellation of Agony gritted his teeth.

You dare betray us?! he exclaimed in fury, but smirked moments later. Kehehe. Rakiel, even if you do return to the light, do you seriously believe anyone will listen to what you say?

...

Who would possibly trust the words of a fallen angel? Hm?! Your sin of corrupting hundreds of thousands of beings just to get your hands on Seraph will never lighten! the monster said mockingly.

Rakiel flew up with a heavy expression. ... I know.

He knew that he had committed an unforgivable sin.

But

Exactly because of that

I will atone for my sins.

Rakiel, who had flown up into the sky, disappeared into a blue Rift.
