At that moment.
Primrose, floating in midair, looked at the Ice Snow Dragon below with its white belly upturned and couldn’t help but complain wildly in her heart.
‘What’s going on?’
‘It’s at least a Level 20,000+ boss!’
‘Where’s its backbone?’
‘Where’s the dignity of the dragon race?’
Primrose was completely speechless.
She had originally planned to let Lao Ma go all out and train her combat skills. But before they could even make a move, the other side directly surrendered?
‘If I could kill this Level 20,000+ Ice Snow Dragon, Lao Ma could directly rocket to the human level cap—Level 100. The excess experience would be stored. Then, when she collects some level cap breaking items, that stored experience could all be released at once.’
‘But now… it’s all gone down the drain.’
“I’m a good person!”
“I’ve never done anything bad!”
“I was just sleeping here, they attacked me first!”
The Ice Snow Dragon saw that the deity in midair hadn’t spoken for a while, and in fear, shouted again at the top of her lungs.
There was even a hint of tears in that clear young girl’s voice.
She was truly scared now, afraid that the one up above might get upset and instantly kill her.
She knew she couldn’t possibly escape from this deity before her. Since she couldn’t run, she might as well surrender on the spot. Maybe there was still a sliver of hope.
Such a stark contrast plunged the entire Miracle Snowfield battlefield into an eerie silence.
The Ice Snow Dragon kept both front claws raised high, not daring to move, afraid of causing a misunderstanding with the deity in midair.
Just then, on the Church Crusade Army’s side, Elder Augustus finally came to his senses. He walked around the soldiers still in a daze ahead, slowly making his way to the front of the formation, but still cautiously stopped at a distance behind Dolores.
He endured the weakness from mana depletion, supporting his body with a staff as he stepped forward step by step. Then Augustus laid his scepter horizontally on the snowy ground, his knees gave way, and he prostrated himself fully on the snow, his forehead pressed tightly against the cold ground.
“Goddess!”
Augustus shouted in a hoarse voice, full of the excitement of surviving a disaster and the utmost reverence for the deity.
“The Holy Radiance Church State once divined that this Ice Snow Dragon’s body holds the power you need to fight the Finality Crisis!”
“I humbly beg you, no matter what, do not let it go!”
At these words, the Ice Snow Dragon, who had been desperately playing pitiful, suddenly shuddered. Its huge tail subconsciously swept across the snow.
Just as Augustus shouted the words “Finality Crisis,” the little girl standing beside Lin Naiyue—Dorothy—narrowed her eyes almost imperceptibly. She uttered a low murmur that was almost inaudible.
“…Evil God.”
The voice was so small it was almost undetectable, but Lin Naiyue, being closest, still heard it.
“Huh? Little Dorothy, did you just say something?”
Lin Naiyue turned her head and looked at Dorothy with an innocent, dazed expression.
Dorothy instantly concealed the strangeness in her eyes, looked up, and gave Lin Naiyue a pure, innocent smile.
“No, nothing. I just think that dragon is so big.”
Dorothy played the part to perfection, completely like a little girl who had never seen the world. Lin Naiyue ruffled her hair, didn’t think much of it, and looked back up at her daughter in the sky.
At that moment, Primrose, floating in midair, let out an ethereal sound of confusion after hearing the elder’s words.
“Finality Crisis?”
Primrose silently repeated the word in her heart.
‘She knew this world had the Demon Race invasion, Dorothy as the Demon King, and the Demon King’s Army causing trouble everywhere. But… what exactly was this so-called “Finality Crisis” supposed to be?’
Just as Primrose’s mind was full of question marks, Dolores, who had been standing at the very front, finally came back to her senses. She looked up at Primrose in the sky and suddenly shouted loudly.
“Goddess Prim!”
The moment those four words left her mouth, Primrose in midair almost spat out blood. The pair of white wings behind her twitched unnaturally.
‘Damn! What the hell is this nickname!’
Primrose complained wildly in her heart, almost going crazy.
‘Goddess Prim? Who even coined that term? It’s so tacky!’
‘It sounds like pro esports players who get called “God” by fans after winning several championships in a row. Like, “God of something.” It’s not bad, but… when applied to me, the dissonance is off the charts.’
Primrose felt like her toes were curling so hard in her shoes they could dig out a three-bedroom apartment.
Meanwhile, Dolores was completely unaware of the mental damage her single title had caused the goddess in the sky. Her normally calm, slightly childish face was now full of reverence and adoration as she continued to speak loudly.
“The Holy Radiance Church State united several great diviners and paid a huge price to divine the true finality crisis of this world.”
“The one who truly brings about the destruction of this world is not the Demon King currently ravaging the border, but another, even more terrifying entity!”
“And to fight the true finality crisis, we must obtain some kind of power within the Ice Snow Dragon!”
As soon as Dolores finished speaking, the Ice Snow Dragon, who had been playing dead on the ground, instantly bristled.
“No no no! Your divination must be wrong!”
She abruptly looked up at Primrose in midair, speaking at lightning speed, afraid that if she delayed even a second, Primrose would skin her alive.
“I swear! There is absolutely no power to counter a crisis inside me! I’m just an ordinary dragon!”
The Ice Snow Dragon was so anxious she kept flicking her tail, sending snow flying everywhere.
Her brain raced as she desperately tried to remember if there was anything special in her territory. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
“Oh, right, right, right! I think I know what power you’re talking about! It’s right here in the Miracle Snowfield! Right beneath my feet!”
The Ice Snow Dragon shouted at the top of her lungs, her girlish voice almost breaking.
At these words, everyone present was stunned.
Beneath her feet?
Primrose, floating in midair, listened to the Ice Snow Dragon’s urgent explanation. Her mind worked quickly, and she soon guessed the general situation.
‘Probably… those diviners from the Holy Radiance Church State were just too unskilled. Their technique was nowhere near good enough. They divined that at the coordinates of the Miracle Snowfield, there was a power that could counter the Finality Crisis. And this Ice Snow Dragon, being incredibly lazy, had been sleeping on that exact spot for years, hardly moving. So when the diviners checked the coordinates, they only saw the planar latitude and longitude, completely ignoring the vertical height. As a result, they naturally assumed that the power underground was inside the Ice Snow Dragon’s body.’
“Goddess! Please be careful—the Ice Snow Dragon might be lying! It might just be trying to escape!”
Augustus hurriedly warned.
The Ice Snow Dragon immediately got anxious.
“You despicable old human! First, you attacked first! Second… I wasn’t even trying from the start!”
