“Hi! This humble one greets you~”
“Gah!?”
Wei Yang jolted awake. Upon seeing the Goddess Heng’e waving with a fawning smile, she gave her a fierce glare.
“Are you kidding me? This is the worst.”
“Ah… I’m so hurt. To think you’d have such a reaction upon seeing me. Does my face not please you?”
Wei Yang struck the Goddess with two punches.
“Tch, it’s that disgusting slime-like feel again. Seriously, enough. I really hope the ‘you’ in front of me is just a hallucination.”
After being hit by the cat-like punches, the Goddess put on a delicate, weak expression.
“Whatever, right? It’s been a while, so let’s be a little happy to see each other.”
“Happy my foot. I almost saw my life flash before my eyes from that explosion.”
Ah Li’s spell was named “Jupiter.” It was a symbol of infinite absorption and harmony, capable of absorbing all magic and converting it for her own use.
Although she had recognized that Wei Yang possessed divine power rather than magic, she still intended to absorb and convert it. Due to her lack of experience, she didn’t know that her spell could only absorb magic. It was completely incompatible with divine power.
The moment Wei Yang’s divine power was dragged into contact with Ah Li’s magic vortex, black sparks erupted. When Wei Yang opened her eyes again, she had returned to this pure white space.
“Right,” Wei Yang stopped her punching and suddenly remembered the term. “What did that freak call you? ‘Evil God’ Heng’e?”
*Thud!*
The Goddess immediately dropped into a perfect, golden-ratio prostration, her forehead slamming hard against the floor of the pure white space.
She straightened her back and placed her hands in an inverted V-shape on the ground. Her neck and spine, partially obscured by her long hair, were quite alluring.
Wei Yang shook her head; that wasn’t the point.
“Hey, you’re staying quiet, which means you’re admitting it. The fact that you’re an Evil God.”
Heng’e’s body began to tremble slightly.
“……….. Coconut.”
Wei Yang: “…”
“Um, since things have come to this, are you willing to continue being my believer?”
Wei Yang: “…”
“Don’t be silent! Please answer me!”
Maintaining her kneeling position, Heng’e suddenly lunged forward with a *splat* and clung tightly to Wei Yang’s waist.
“I’m sorry! I have my own reasons for not telling you!”
‘Liar.’
“I’m not!”
“Stop reading my mind! You’re so annoying. I’m done. Go find your next believer. Bye.”
Hearing this, the Goddess’s pupils turned into skulls, and she held her face with an expression as if she had been struck by lightning.
“W-What can I do? Everyone hates Evil Gods to begin with, so it’s only natural not to have believers. Without believers, my divine power naturally becomes very weak. I finally managed to de… I finally managed to get you! I’m begging you, begging you, begging you!”
Wei Yang tried her best to pry Heng’e off, but the Goddess refused to let go.
“This is such a pain. You’re a god, right? Act like a god! What are you doing, kneeling and hugging me without any dignity!”
“Who cares about dignity when I’m about to die! If you won’t be my Angel anymore, I’ll… I’ll just keep hugging you until you agree to continue!”
“Are you some kind of clingy woman!?”
“Say whatever you want! I don’t even care if you say I’m your bitch! As long as you don’t leave me!”
Wei Yang really had no options left; this Goddess was simply too persistent.
“Then let me ask you, is it your fault that I was recognized as an Angel so quickly?”
The Goddess responded while crying.
“No, it’s not, waahhh! How could an average person distinguish between the natures of divine power and magic? She must be an Angel too… probably.”
“Probably? What’s with the vague phrasing? Besides, I didn’t feel any divine power from her at all. Those iridescent circles were clearly magic.”
Heng’e began to stammer.
“That’s true, it’s true. I also felt like she wasn’t… It’s like the difference between Sprite and a generic knockoff.”
Wei Yang ignored her nonsensical metaphor.
“And yet you still claim she’s an Angel. You’re just making excuses for your own mistake, aren’t you?”
“Although, perhaps, maybe, probably… to be honest — “
“Do you want me to hit you?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know anything. My brain is completely empty.”
Wei Yang let out a resigned laugh.
“Then what else can I say? Fine, fine. Whoever wants to be this crappy Angel can have it. I’m quitting.”
“No, no, no, please don’t! Oh, right! I’ll give you this, okay? With this, some nun or whatever won’t be a problem at all!”
The Goddess pulled a massive horn out from under her skirt.
Wei Yang had absolutely no desire to know how she could pull such a giant object from under her skirt.
“What is this?”
Heng’e introduced it proudly.
“This is Gabriel’s Horn! It’s a rare Divine Artifact specifically designed to counter divine power. Blowing it can completely suppress nearby divine power fluctuations for 3 minutes — ow!”
Wei Yang took the horn by the end and gave the Goddess a hard whack with it.
“Are you a fish? I already told you that person wasn’t using divine power.”
Because Heng’e’s body had a special physiological structure, the horn made no sound when it hit her. Although the sensation of punching her was strange, Wei Yang found that hitting her with this large horn was actually quite a good stress-reliever.
“St-Stop hitting me. This is the only Divine Artifact I have. Maybe you can use it later…”
Wei Yang was speechless. She couldn’t associate the being in front of her with the high-and-mighty status of a god at all. To think she had become her Angel — zero stars, would not recommend.
*Drip, drop.*
Suddenly, a milky-white liquid fell on Wei Yang. She looked up and found that the edges of this pure white space were dissolving.
“Hey, explain this.”
“I don’t have enough divine power left… The soul channel is about to close.”
‘Sigh, this girl is such a weakling.’
“I-I’m a weakling. You can call me whatever you want, but could you please continue being my Angel?”
She knew this girl was reading her mind again, but Wei Yang truly had no other choice.
Could she really just stop? To defeat Blonde, her career as an Angel had to continue.
“I have no choice. It’s not for your sake, so don’t get the wrong idea.”
Heng’e realized that Wei Yang had agreed. Her pupils turned into stars as she excitedly tried to hug Wei Yang, but she was held back by the horn.
“You’re so cold, so aloof. Why can’t you be a little gentler to me…”
Wei Yang couldn’t deny that. She wasn’t quite sure why her attitude toward Heng’e was so poor, either.
Only, in the back of her mind, she thought of the long-vanished Yu Tu.
Was she afraid that Heng’e would become a replacement for Yu Tu?
“Forget it. What’s the situation outside right now?”
The Goddess pulled aside her clothing. Seeing Wei Yang’s strange look, she quickly explained.
“I’m not being a pervert! Don’t you want to see the situation outside? I’ll have to trouble you to activate your eye’s X-ray effect.”
Wei Yang sighed and channeled her divine power to activate the X-ray ability given to her by the Medusa Sapphire. Soon, Heng’e appeared as a translucent figure again. With one hand, the Goddess pulled up her gauze skirt, revealing her lower abdomen in a bashful manner, and pointed with her other hand.
Only then did Wei Yang notice that images of the real-world environment were being displayed there.
‘How disgusting…’
“Don’t keep scolding me! I’ll really be sad!”
“Who cares about you.”
Ignoring the Goddess who was continuously crying “little pearls,” Wei Yang squeezed out every second before the soul channel collapsed to observe the reality.
In the images, her body lay collapsed in front of the garden wall that had a massive hole blasted through it. Ah Li was also unconscious on the other side. The good news was that it seemed Ah Li wouldn’t be waking up anytime soon. In that case, she could seize the initiative.
The pure white space was dissolving faster. It was time to go back.
Heng’e lowered her gauze skirt, her face turning slightly red as she became a bit fidgety.
“Um, before you leave, can you give me a hug?”
“? Didn’t you already hug me earlier?”
“I want you to be the one to hug me proactively!”
“Are you a child? Maybe next time. I have things to do.”
In the end, the rejected loser Goddess dejectedly waved goodbye to Wei Yang.
“… Fine. Then I look forward to our next meeting, my Angel.”
