Little Priest's Cat Diary

The night sky shrouded the dead city.

Standing on the high altar, the boy stretched out his hand.

I don't know when it flew over from afar, and the white bow circling around the young man slowly landed in his palm.

The whole body is snow-white, and there is a shimmer of light on the bow.

Mia clenched her fingers.

He lowered his head and stared at the white bow in his hand.

The glimmer of light flowing on the bow reflected into the bottom of his blue eyes, as if a cluster of tiny blue flames had been ignited in the bottom of his eyes.

Then, he raised his head and stared at the sky ladder that was slowly descending to the ground above the night.

The sound of the wind became more rapid and fierce, whizzing past him.

Blowing his pale blonde hair back and flying wildly.

Behind him, the light-colored cloak fluttered endlessly.

【Do you really want to destroy the ladder? 】

His voice from the previous life rang in Mia's mind.

Mia smiled lightly.

His chuckle was quickly blown away in the night by the howling wind.

He said, "Why not?"

[The ladder is the only channel connecting the kingdom of God and the human world. If the gods want to lower their power to the earth, they can only pass through the ladder. 】

[Once the ladder is destroyed, the Kingdom of God and the world will no longer have anything to do with each other, and the power of God will no longer be able to fall on the earth. 】

"I know."

['We' will never return to the Kingdom of God. 】

"I know."

The voice with a sigh continued to sound in his head.

【...'We' are different from human beings after all. If we are reincarnated on the earth, the soul of 'us' will be obliterated in a short time. 】

【'We' will die. 】

Die in the true sense.

The boy smiled again.

"If the price for me to return to the Kingdom of God, the price for me to live, is Sadie's life, the lives of those people I care about, and the lives of everyone in this city..."

He says,

"That's the price I'm not willing to pay."

【………】

"My previous life, if it were you, I would trade the destruction of my mother's Kingdom of God and the lives of all living beings living in the Kingdom of God in exchange for you to live alone, would you agree?"

【…】

"The Kingdom of God and the creatures in the Kingdom of God are to you what this city and its people are to me."

Mia smiled and said,

"I think we're going to make the same choice."

【……I understand. 】

"Feel sorry."

[No need to apologize. 】

【I am you. 】

【Your decision is my decision. 】

Suddenly, the corner of the boy's clothes moved.

It wasn't the wind howling past him that lifted his robes.

The hem of his clothes floated upwards, which had a completely different arc from the oncoming gust of wind.

It was as if an invisible air flow gushed out of Mia's body, circling around him, circling around him, spinning endlessly.

The gust of wind passed by the invisible swirling airflow, and could no longer touch the young man in the vortex of the airflow.

The blue light flickered in Mia's pupils.

That is not the light reflected from the outside world.

On the edge of the iris of the boy's eyes, the blue shimmer was rippling slightly like flowing sea water.

Like the aquamarine that flows with soft light in the dark night, it is not dazzling or dazzling, but the soft waves of light are unbelievably beautiful.

The invisible air current lifted the young man's light golden hair.

In the dark night, his hair seemed to be floating in the sea.

A soft bluish gleam swirled around him.

The boy's body floated up little by little, and his feet slowly floated off the ground.

Mia was suspended on the altar, one foot above the ground.

A light blue shimmer surrounded him.

The pale golden hair with dots of fluorescence fluttered endlessly under the night sky.

The boy floated in the air, with his head raised.

He raised the white bow in his left hand to the night sky.

The boy's right hand slowly drew the bowstring.

The bow is like a full moon.

A stream of blue light gushed out from the tip of his right finger that was tightening the bowstring.

It fell on the bow and turned into a sharp arrow.

The flashing arrow pointed at the sky ladder above the sky.

Miya's eyes were serious.

His pupils reflected the blood-red full moon and the snow-white ladder slowly descending from the sky.

At this moment, he held his breath.

Fingertips move slightly.

About to let go--

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

The whole earth shook violently again.

Mia almost let go of her fingers.

He was suspended in the air and was not affected by the ground vibration.

However, he saw that the golden light curtain guarding the entire city was shaken open a series of thin cracks, and the azure sea water surrounding the royal city seeped in through those tiny cracks in the form of water mist.

The seeping seawater formed a thin layer of blue water curtain, encircling the slowly falling sky ladder with a huge arc.

It was like a transparent thin glass bowl buckled on the sky, forming a barrier to protect the ladder.

Miya's chest suddenly tightened.

The fingers clasped on the bowstring also paused and could not be released.

[Father makes a move. 】

【The strength of 'us' comes from the father, he is stronger than 'us', and the strength of 'us' cannot break it. 】

[Presumably 'he' also understands this, so he cheated Agathodis of his power. 】

——The only power that can confront Sepul, one of the three main gods, is also the main god Agathodis.

【Stop it. 】

[As long as there is the power of the father, the attack of 'our' is meaningless. 】

The voice in her head said so, but Mia clenched her bowed fingers even tighter.

"I won't stop."

Mia gritted her teeth.

He held the bow tightly, and the gaze in his blue eyes that shimmered was extremely firm.

"It's even more impossible to give up easily without doing anything!"

If he really gave up so easily, then what Sardis did would be meaningless!

And all life in this city will—

under the night sky.

Under the mist and sky.

The boy still held his bow high, with the arrow pointing to the sky.

The long cloak fluttered endlessly behind him.

…………

........................

And when Mia was confronting the power of the two gods alone, a quarrel was taking place in the special space inside the tilted obelisk under the deep ground of the royal city.

"Do you know what you did!"

After shaking for a few times at first, this deep underground space regained its former calm.

It's just that the hoarse and terrifying roar broke the silence that has been here for thousands of years.

The man let out an uncontrollable roar.

At this moment, he could no longer maintain the dead silent and deep expression before.

He worked hard, painstakingly, and spared no effort to set up this overall situation, and for this reason he gave up everything——

He waited hard for a thousand years, he survived a long time, and finally waited for this moment——

Seeing the dawn is just around the corner.

Seeing that his thousand-year wish is about to be fulfilled.

However, the last step, the last second, was destroyed!

And the one who ruined all of this with his own hands was actually his descendant who entrusted everything to him with high hopes!

"how dare you--"

The man's horribly thin face was contorted with violent rage, and the corners of his eyes throbbed convulsively.

He stared at Sardis with almost ferocious eyes.

"Fool! You ruined everything!"

He yelled furiously.

A hoarse whoo-hoo sound escaped from his throat in extreme anger.

"You ruined the chance for human beings to be free! The only chance! The last chance! Just for personal feelings! How can a stupid guy like you deserve to be the emperor of mankind!"

"everything is over."

"Humanity has no chance."

Strong emotions such as rage, lamentation, and complete despair surged and entangled chaotically, making Napsius fall into hysteria.

"My stupid offspring! Do you really think he has any affection for you?"

He growled in disgust.

"He is a god!"

"Gods don't have feelings for humans!"

"Divine power cannot be forcibly taken away, it can only be given or bestowed voluntarily."

"Don't you know that he has recovered the other two powers?"

"Everything he did was just to deceive you, just to make you willingly return the divine power to him."

"When you return the last divine power to him, that's when he leaves."

"He will leave the world and return to the kingdom of God."

"When he returned to the Kingdom of God, he was still a god above him."

"And you... you who replaced me as the new human pillar of this land will die along with the destruction of the royal city after being tortured. Even your soul will be wiped out, and there will be no possibility of reincarnation."

In the voice of Napsius full of hatred and anger, the dark green vines slowly climbed up along Sardis' body.

The seemingly soft vine branches pierced into his skin like sharp thorns, greedily sucking the exuberant blood in the new flesh and blood.

Napsius knew better than anyone that it was an indescribable pain that was close to the bone.

But he didn't hear a painful groan from his descendant, and he couldn't even see the slightest trace of pain on the other's face.

Sardis just frowned and pursed his lips.

That's it.

The young emperor coldly saw Napsius, who was violent, lamented, and berated himself in disgust.

His face was very calm, in stark contrast to Napsius who was almost insane at the moment.

He looked at the crazy Napsius and smiled lowly.

"The most important piece you arranged did not move forward as expected."

Not only did he not get what he wanted, but he directly rebelled and overturned the chessboard.

"So you're disappointed and angry, right?"

Sardis sneered.

Even if it is the supreme god, he will not surrender.

And why does the so-called ancestor feel that he can control him.

And the only person in this world who can subdue him never wants to manipulate him.

Sardis looked at Napsius.

He stared at Napsius with a sharp gaze that seemed to penetrate the other's heart.

"Napsius, my ancestor, why do you think that I... no, we will be at your mercy?"

Napsius, who was still in a maddened rage, opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly, it seemed that a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, making him stunned for a moment.

The last sentence Sardis said gave him an extremely familiar feeling.

That sentence... it's like... it's like...

"Manipulating everything secretly during the millennium, arbitrarily treating others as his own pawns, and easily giving up lives that he thought were unimportant..."

Sardis sneered,

"Didn't you realize that everything you've done is no different from the gods you speak of wantonly manipulating the future of mankind?"

Sardis looked at Napsius, obviously not taller than him, but he seemed to be looking down at him.

"Napsius, in the end, you also became the existence you hated the most."

Both time and space seemed to stand still for a second.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Napsius' pupils shrank like tiny pinholes.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but after opening and closing several times, he couldn't make a sound.

The words of the young emperor on the opposite side were like a splash of cold water, pouring him completely.

The original violent anger in the body was instantly extinguished by this wave of ice water.

That invisible coldness penetrated into the skin, bone and blood.

He stared blankly at Sardis, the face distorted by rage softened, revealing a trace of bewilderment.

However, the loss is only momentary.

A second later, his blank black eyes flashed back to the deep and calm before.

After calming down, he showed a wry smile.

He looked at the young descendant who almost broke his heart defense with just one sentence, and at the dark green man who had wrapped Sardis's boots and was slowly climbing up his slender legs. The expression in his eyes became extremely complicated when he saw the vines.

"You made the worst choice, do you know what it means to be a human pillar?"

He says,

"Don't you see what I look like now?"

An ugly body that is constantly rotting.

Neither human nor ghost.

Neither live nor die.

The torture of the whole body rotting away was repeated continuously.

Repeatedly.

Eternal life can never be liberated.

"I saw."

Sardis said, an understatement.

"But I'm not like you."

He says,

"I don't just believe in myself, so I'm not alone."

Sardis raised his hand, looked down at the dark green vines that had climbed onto his arm, showing a look of contempt.

He tore out the vine branch that had penetrated into his flesh, and didn't care about the blood that splashed on his cheeks.

With that calm expression, it looked as if the person whose flesh and blood had been pulled out by force was not himself.

Sardis laughed softly.

Inky flames ignited in his raised hands.

He whispered to himself: "Although I told you, I will leave the rest to you... But I can't really just leave all the troubles to you."

If so, what is the difference from before.

Sardis raised his foot and strode forward.

The dark green vines wrapped around his slender legs were abruptly broken and pulled out of his flesh and blood. After being stained with flames, they withered and fell to the ground.

The blood that was brought out fell on the ground.

Wherever he walked, there were bloodstains all the way.

The black flame in his hand was burning and spreading along his arm.

Soon, flames burned all over his body.

Napsius naturally knew what it would cost to let the flames burn.

It is a flame that can only bloom by burning life and burning soul.

His young descendant was burning his life and soul.

He couldn't help frowning and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Sardis was already standing in front of the dark green giant tree.

The huge monster stands on the ground, and the dense canopy covers the sky and the sun, as if covering the whole world here.

"Since we have reached this point, there is nothing to worry about."

The young emperor's eyes were cold and arrogant.

His eyes were like sharp knives out of their sheaths, sharp and cold, with sharp edges that pierced people.

He sternly said: "Just do it to the end!"

bang.

His fists slammed heavily on the trunk of the giant tree.

With a bang, the black flame burning on his body suddenly rose, and spread towards the giant tree crazily.

Almost in an instant, the entire giant tree was on fire.

Black flames engulfed the giant tree and burned.

The giant tree whistled in the flames, as if screaming sharply.

Its huge body trembled in the flames, and the vines that climbed and attached to its body were all reduced to ashes in the flames.

The power of the god of the earth in its body is being swallowed by the flames and plundered by the flames.

The majestic power contained in it leaked out during the burning.

Golden brilliance emerged from the black flames, spewing out along the ground, along the sky, and in all directions.

"you--"

Napsius' shout was drowned in the huge roar of the world's collapse, and it could no longer be heard clearly.

The earth is shaking.

This is not caused by the outside world, but because the space that exists due to the power of the god of the earth is about to collapse, because the giant tree that supports this space with the power of Agathodius is collapsing and annihilating.

And all the power released from its body rushed out to the outside world——

This world deep underground is collapsing and shattering bit by bit.

Giant logs standing on the ground were burning in raging fire.

Sardis stood under the tree.

The flame connected him to the giant tree, making him one with the giant tree.

He was burning with the giant tree in the flames.

That long golden hair fluttered in the black flames, but still shone with golden brilliance.

He looked at the burning giant tree and the collapsing world in front of him, with a smile on his lips.

Mia.

I said so.

This time, I will definitely fight with you.

……

In the outside world, the sloping obelisk suddenly burst into dazzling golden light.

A majestic force extended along the earth toward the ground in all directions.

The crumbling light curtain that originally guarded the city suddenly rose, and the countless tiny cracks on the light curtain were quickly repaired, once again blocking the waves from the city.

The golden light curtain that originally only surrounded the obelisk suddenly expanded outwards rapidly.

It presents a semicircular arc, expanding towards the surroundings and towards the sky.

In an instant, it collided fiercely with the blue arc light curtain surrounding the ladder in the sky.

Under the violent collision, the two light curtains were smashed to pieces at the same time.
