Chapter 951: Chapter 467: Forbidden Power
Fulingya understood that she needed an opportunity to prove herself.
But this point, she understood, others who were unwilling to let her take power also understood.
For so many years, not to mention finding an opportunity to prove herself, she couldn’t even leave here!
This was the Divine Kingdom of the Master of Nature, the Holy Land in the hearts of all the Natural Pantheon believers.
But it was also the cage that kept her imprisoned.
Fulingya wanted to leave, but she couldn’t really tear facades and forcibly escape, as it would mean handing everything she owned to others!
She was not reconciled.
She wanted to ally with other Divines, pull some in, press some down, but she never succeeded—she couldn’t distinguish whether these people truly followed her, or were not a blade pointed at her back.
And there was even less hope for the Divines of other Pantheons, as no Divine was willing to interfere in the internal struggles of the Natural Pantheon.
The Divines were not to be relied upon.
Thus, Fulingya turned her gaze to mortals, hoping they could become her strength.
For years, the Forest Goddess had been quietly plotting, quietly developing some forces with clear backgrounds, supporting them in the Natural Pantheon.
Some succeeded, some failed.
The Beast Ear Clan was one she had supported over the years, having some potential, but always performing lukewarmly.
The Ancestor Spirit was not lacking in wisdom, but it never made truly smart choices, always placing the continuation of the Beastmen before the enhancement of its own power, causing it not to advance to the Epic.
Yet even such a lackluster force was not spared by those watching with intent.
They were targeted by those people and were soon going to be ruthlessly eradicated, just like countless precedents in the past.
And just when the Forest Goddess hesitated over whether to give them up early, an anomaly appeared in her sight.
A mortal much too young, yet exceedingly powerful.
No, using the term "mortal" with its underlying contempt was no longer enough to describe his strength.
[Godslayer · Herbert]
The ninth Apostle blessed by the Sun, an anomaly, not a Divine but truly eligible to intervene in battles between Divines.
This time, Herbert’s rise gave her hope, wishing to use this anomaly outside of fate to find new opportunities.
It’s him!
Coincidentally, all Four Seasons Goddesses showed interest in him, so Fulingya went with the flow and showed goodwill through the Ice and Snow Goddess to gauge his thoughts.
However, the current situation turned out to be worse than what Fulingya originally imagined.
The traitor’s patience was extremely poor, not willing to endure even this much.
Just after Fulingya revealed a bit of intent to draw in Herbert, those people couldn’t hold back and intruded upon her controlled forces.
Not only the Beast Ear Clan, but most of the forces cultivated by the Forest Goddess were attacked to varying degrees, and some weaker forces were cruelly destroyed.
This was a solid knock, a blatant warning.
The other side silently telling her—not to overstep!
The destruction of years of efforts made the Forest Goddess frown, but more angered at the arrogance of the other side.
I am killing your followers, what can you do about it?
The actions of the other side clarified one thing—they completely didn’t see me in their eyes!
Absolutely nothing!
This is truly too arrogant.
"Since that’s the case, I won’t need to save face for you, or for any of you, huh! Do you really think I have no trump cards after all these years?"
Thinking of this, the Forest Goddess couldn’t help but coldly laugh, with no unease on her body, only anger towards her enemies in her eyes.
"Don’t think, only you have leverage on me!"
If I don’t show my might, you truly consider me just a delicate, coddling ordinary Tree Spirit?
She wanted revenge.
Goddesses mostly bear grudges.
And she had endured for a long time, now it was time to find an opportunity to retaliate harshly!
"Although I really don’t want to expose this trump card, you’ve all gone too far! So don’t blame me for being ruthless..."
And just as Fulingya was preparing to use "forbidden power," a tiny white flower-like figure clumsily rushed into her view.
Huh?
"Is it her? Why is she here?"
Fuling looked at the Ice and Snow Goddess, quite puzzled as she blinked.
This little one was nominally a Goddess, but actually, everyone knew she was the pet of the Cold Winter Goddess, only knowing to wander around all day, driven by carefree bliss.
This carefree runaway behavior was actually the state most envied by the Forest Goddess.
Perhaps because she saw Hecayas living in bliss without knowing it every day, she mischievously assigned the task of contacting Herbert to her.
The original intention was to give Hecayas a bit of harmless trouble, but now it seemed... this little kitten seemed to enjoy the task immensely!
Taking the task on this end and completing it, then taking a new task on the opposite side and returning to report, appearing quite delighted enjoying it.
The Forest Goddess felt a bit unhappy inside.
Jealous indeed.
But, seeing the kitten so cute and brainless, she forgave her.
"Lady of the Forest!" The Ice and Snow Goddess cheerfully scampered to the Forest Goddess’s feet, rubbing against her leg.
After receiving the task on Herbert’s side, the icy little kitten did not delay much but mumbled a few words to her annoying mother before directly returning to the Realm of Nature.
Herbert said something about explanation or not, she didn’t understand, nor was she bothered to think.
