"I can sense your fear, and the delicious curse on your body…"

"Who are you? What kind of person can have such a treasure?"

Her eyes were shining, as if she was staring at a sumptuous meal!

"Come over quickly, poor thing."

Her voice was dripping with temptation.

"No!" Marvin loudly shouted!

Hathaway's expression was also quite unsightly.

The three of them had been hindered by the Wilderness God in three different ways.

There was simply no way for them to stop the Wilderness God from devouring Molly!

Marvin clenched his fists, looking at his interface repeatedly, but the restricting spell would last for at least ten more seconds!

For those ten seconds, he simply couldn't budge!

That time was enough for the Wilderness God to eat Molly quite a few times!

If she was in the mood, she even had extra time to add some seasoning!

Molly, who seemed quite addled, slowly walked toward the Wilderness God.

'Miss Silvermoon' displayed an insatiably hungry smile and she even couldn't help drooling.

"Drip! Drip!"

The girl raised her cheek, and droplets fell on them.

As if those curse marks had met something harmful to them, they started to fade.

Miss Silvermoon's mouth suddenly enlarged by ten times!

She was like a wild beast, suddenly biting down!

Minsk couldn't bear to watch and closed his eyes!

Marvin was staring fixedly in anger!

If Molly was eaten by the Wilderness God, he swore that he would definitely find a way to kill the latter for good!

He was rarely ever this angry.

He opened his eyes wide, looking at the whole scene and burning it into his memory.

"Gulp!"

The Wilderness God swallowed Molly whole!

Her belly instantly became engorged!

"Hehe… With such a good treasure, I'll definitely recover my former power once I finish absorbing it!"

She glanced maliciously at everyone present.

They had already broken away from their bindings.

But it was too late.

Marvin was firmly clenching his fist, his forehead full of sweat. He wasn't able to protect Molly in the end!

"I'll kill you," he firmly swore.

"Kill me?... Hahahahaha…" The Wilderness God laughed exaggeratedly.

She was about to say something when she suddenly found out that her abdomen kept expanding!

"What's happening?"

The Wilderness God was panicking?!

Her innate ability allowed her to swallow everything and absorb its energy. That small girl had an incredible treasure on her, so the Wilderness God should have been able to recover about two-thirds of her strength by consuming it.

Thus, she ate the girl, regardless of the cost.

But now, the situation started to slip out of her control!

Her abdomen was swelling, becoming bigger and bigger!

Everyone stared in shock as she unexpectedly leaned back dangerously before falling supine on the ground!

'What is that guy planning!?'

Marvin remained vigilant.

But Lady Silvermoon's abdomen still kept expanding!

This strange situation left everyone at loss.

"Aaah…!"

The Wilderness God let out a sharp, painful howl!

This howl sounded even more agonizing than the one released when Moon Goddess Faniya had restrained the Wilderness God!

Her body suddenly floated into the air, rolling in place a few times before falling back to the ground.

No one knew if it was a coincidence, but the place where she landed was surprisingly right in front of Griffin's corpse.

He was still in his half-kneeling position.

Marvin seemed to feel something.

"Don't go over there!"

He stopped Minsk and Hathaway from moving.

A burning pain spread through his hand, continuously worsening.

He absent-mindedly saw a faint shadow.

That shadow stepped out from the endless darkness, carrying a large sword.

The vision gradually felt more and more real.

Time seemed to come to a standstill.

A scene slowly unfolded before their eyes.

...

– Cold winter.

At the corner of a street, a little girl was shivering. The shadow of a tall man strode before her.

As the girl stared with her eyes almost comically wide, he took her hand and brought her away from the cold and hunger.

– Dream Shrine Oath Ritual.

Standing in the crowd, he pulled her hand, looking at those Guardians swearing their oaths to the shrine.

She softly asked him, "Can you protect me? Like they promised to protect their shrine."

He gently laughed and half-knelt on the ground, kissing the back of her hand.

He made the oath that he would protect this poor, cursed girl for life.

– Under the starry sky.

The two were sitting on a roof.

She asked in curiosity, "Uncle Griffin, what is the Truth?"

He was silent for a moment before gently answering, "It is my belief."

She didn't understand that meaning, and kept asking.

He shook his head with a smile but didn't say anything more.

– In front of a spatial crack.

He turned toward her and asked, "Ready?"

"Our world doesn't have the means to resolve your curse. We can only try other places."

"This place is fraught with danger."

She laughed, "Regardless of how dangerous, you're here to protect me, aren't you?"

– Crimson Wasteland...

– Endless Snow Mountain Range...

– Wilderness Hall...

It was like a short movie. These events seemed to all be playing out right in front of them!

The last scene was the fall of the Paladin, and the shadow coming from the darkness also arrived there!

Marvin couldn't see the shadow's face, but he could clearly see that it was calmly "entering" Griffin's body.

Then, the petrified corpse slowly recovered.

He stared at the Wilderness God's abdomen!

The latter was filled with fear.

This was unimaginable for the Wilderness God.

There was something in this Universe that he was unable to swallow?

What felt even stranger was that something about the resurrected corpse made her feel afraid.

"Griffin?" Marvin asked tentatively.

The latter didn't answer. Instead, he raised his large sword in the sky and slashed down ruthlessly!

A bright light flashed past!

As the Wilderness God let out mournful sounds, a crack appeared on her expanding abdomen!

The young girl crawled out from the abdomen, completely intact.

She was covered in filth, but her eyes were shining.

She looked around, and her eyes finally landed on the silent form of Griffin. She gushed with a sweet smile, "I knew you would protect me."

The Paladin remained silent.

The Wilderness God yelled in fright, "Who the hell are you?"

The little girl turned, the curse on her body disappearing.

It was replaced by an immense Holy Power!

She looked down at the almost collapsed Wilderness God and softly said, "I am…"

"The Truth."
