Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hao Ren had traveled 10,000 years back through the distorted space and time. But because the time flow inside the sandbox did not correspond to the time flow outside the sandbox, and Raven 12345 had also adjusted the system timeline, Hao Ren had only been away for a few months in the eyes of those on the outside. Everyone felt glad when Hao Ren and Vivian were finally back. However, to the bunch of long-living monsters, the resolution of the world crisis was something more worth celebrating. With Vivian’s safe return and their recovery from the distorted history and timeline, the problems of the Malevolence and the contamination of Vivian’s soul were finally over. The multiple good news prompted Lily to declare the day as the Day of Super Kira ☆ Kira Saving the World, and she suggested that they hold a feast to celebrate the day.

First of all, Hao Ren had long suspected that even if the dog maiden could not find an excuse, she would still call for a party simply because she wanted to regale herself. Secondly, Hao Ren was baffled by the star symbol in the name.

Hao Ren and Vivian were only left alone after the excitement wore off. But Rollie still stuck with Hao Ren, rubbing her head against him as she snuffled and meowed in puzzlement.

Hao Ren could not help but be touched by the dumb cat’s action, thinking that it was an act of concern. But Nangong Sanba pointed out the truth. “She is only surprised that you are still alive. This cat thought that you were dead after not seeing you for three months. No one could convince her otherwise because she was totally clueless of what traveling back in time was all about.”

“I suddenly feel like skinning the cat alive,” Hao Ren said.

“Ahem, let’s not get so worked up. She had been crying for a while since she thought that you were dead although she later demanded to divide your inheritance,” Nangong Sanba said, trying to salvage the situation.

In all fairness, it was better for Nangong Sanba to not say anything at all.

Hao Ren pinched Rollie’s ear using just the right amount of force, causing the cat demon, whose thinking had always been different from ordinary people, crying out in pain. “I am going to teach you a lesson when we get back home,” Hao Ren hissed.

Just then, Hao Ren saw Raven 12345 coming up to him with a dejected face while behind her, a ray of light was gradually dissipating. It seemed that someone there had just left.

Hao Ren thought that it was only proper for him to greet his boss. So he waved and said, “Boss, I have accomplished the mission—”

Raven 12345 interrupted Hao Ren without waiting for him to finish. “Hao Ren, come over. I have something to tell you.”

Hao Ren had never seen such a complicated expression on the goddess’s face. He became nervous spontaneously. Vivian, Hessiana and the others had also sensed that something was happening and they all came up to the goddess, who said nothing and seemed had no objection.

“What’s wrong?” Hao Ren asked. His heart was pounding because he had figured what it was all about. “Is your boss looking for someone to blame because of the incident that Vivian had caused?”

A sense of uneasiness rose when everyone heard that. Hessiana jumped the gun and said, “Goddess, let’s be rational; Lady Vivian did not cause that on purpose—”

Raven 12345 waved to interrupted Hessiana. “You overthink. The big boss is not as narrow-minded as you would think. The incident has caused many troubles, but Vivian is not exactly the one to blame. Even if she is, she would not be able to bear the responsibility. I am talking about something else here.”

Hao Ren swallowed. “Then what is it all about?”

“Firstly, it is a very seriously vicious incident,” Raven 12345 said with a solemn and sorrowful tone of voice, making everyone hold their breath. “Sigh, I have screwed up my performance appraisal this year, could not even make it to an advanced goddess.”

Everyone was like what the heck.

Hao Ren thought for a moment and said, “Boss, to be honest; is this not normal?”

“Buzz off! I knew you were going to say that. Can’t you show more sympathy?”

Hao Ren rolled his eye helplessly. “Well, I am deeply sorry for that. Okay? As far as I know you, you must have some more things to say than this. So, what else?”

Raven 12345 sighed again. “There is another small matter; the big boss of the goddess of creation has been found.”

Hao Ren almost jumped to his feet. “What the heck? This is the only thing that matters! Is it the remnant of the power of the big boss, or just a split?”

Everyone appeared shocked and curious at the same time as Hao Ren kept throwing a ton of questions. News of the goddess of creation had always been the center of focus. At this time, even Hesperides and Hasse, who knew little about the Plane of Dreams, were wide-eyed.

“I also just got the news.” Raven 12345 nodded. “As I have said before, it is very likely that the goddess of creation had something to do with our superiors. But there has been not much progress on the investigation until recently. We conducted a joint probe with the neighboring celestials, with whom we exchanged information, and finally figured out what happened.”

Hao Ren did not interrupt but waiting for Raven 12345 to continue.

“There is one very special goddess among the main deities in Xi Ling Celestials. You must have heard of her: the one that controls the power of the Holy Light, the guardian of the combat forces such as hunters, warriors, and combat priests. She has many titles and often changes as her mood changes. One of the few epithets she often uses is the Dark Valkyrie.”

The epithet sounded familiar; Hao Ren had heard before. “Dark Valkyrie Bryndis? The one whom Anthony J. Alfonso follows?”

“That’s right. The Dark Valkyrie in whom the chap Anthony believes.” Raven 12345 nodded as she scratched her chin. “It almost slipped my mind.”

That said, Hao Ren looked at his boss up and down in disbelief. “In all fairness, boss, don’t you feel that something is not right when your pope defects?”

Raven 12345 thought for a moment and said, “Nope. To be honest, I am actually surprised that people come to believe in me.”

“Your self-consciousness appalls me. Let us come back to the topic at hand lest I will begin to lose my faith.”

“Well, let’s talk about the Dark Valkyrie,” Raven 12345 waved her hand. “She is very, very special. She used to be a goddess with the Galacticus Lords and have a good relationship with Xi Ling Celestials a long time ago, during which the Xi Ling disciples had not attained divinity just yet. About 10,000 years ago, this Valkyrie participated in a joint operation with our immediate superior. There was an accident during the operation—but I will leave out the details. The most important thing was, she joined Xi Ling Celestials after that and later became the matron of Xi Ling Celestials. The Dark Valkyrie was the goddess that had dual celestiality. She is most unique in that she is an Umbral Divine, but the power she wields belongs to the School of Holy Light. So strictly speaking, she is a goddess of light.”

“Why is that so?” Lily could not help but ask.

“It was said that she went to the wrong school. The school of Holy Light refused to let her go because it was fighting to get students. So, they forcibly made an Umbral Divine a goddess of light.”

“What the heck? How could it be?” Everyone exclaimed in unison.

“Why not? Don’t forget that I am also a double major in magic and weaponry although I learned arcane magic in the past.”

But Hao Ren was not so convinced; the past record of this goddess did not seem to suggest that she was a double major in magic and weaponry. Instead, after she conned someone of a knife, the victim had been beating her black and blue every now and then.

“Ahem, in short, this Dark Valkyrie is a badass and legendary lord. I could not possibly tell all of her uniqueness here. Now, the key question is, what have the goddess of creation to do with her? By looking at the files in the Galacticus Lords, we found that the Dark Valkyrie had visited a primordial universe nearly 100 million years ago. The data of the primordial universe highly resembles that of the Plane of Dreams. Make no mistake, it is indeed the Plane of Dreams.”

Hao Ren squinted; he knew the real story had just begun.

“At the time, she was a member of the Galacticus Lords Expeditionary Force fighting an anti-abyssal war.” Raven 12345 explained as she had noticed that everyone except Hao Ren was confused. “The abyss was a devastating phenomenon in the endless void, which could lead to the extinction of the universes and data zeroization—you don’t have to master the specific concepts but just a rough understanding. In short, to maintain the diversity of the universe and civilization, all the gods would regularly organize expeditions to clear the abysses from the void and to ensure the safety of the mortal world. At that time, Matron Bryndis was a member of such an expeditionary force. It is impossible to know the specific situation. But one thing was sure, she was injured in a battle and took a short break in the universe of the Plane of Dreams to recuperate.”

“And then she created the goddess of creation?” Hao Ren asked curiously.

“No, she did not. But she lost a drop of blood and did not recover it.”

Everyone was appalled.

It took Hao Ren a while to finally realize what that meant. “Wait a second! Did you mean the goddess of creation came from that single drop of blood?”

The Raven 12345 nodded.

“Just from a drop of blood?” Lily was wide-eyed. “What the heck? It must be very tiring to be god like you. You do not even know when something drops out of your body would turn into a deity. Ahh, do you guys menstruate?”

The thinking of the husky appalled everyone.

Even Raven 12345 was stunned.

But the goddess did not lose her composure. “Ahem, normally we do not have this setting. But sometimes, we do want to experience it out of boredom. Anyway, it is not the point here. Your fears are unwarranted. The things fell off a deity may contain her power, but it does not normally get out of control although there are exceptions sometimes. For example, when some special damages may cause us to lose contact with part of our power; or the proportion of power separated from the body exceeds a certain threshold; or when one is itchy to try out of boredom. Matron Bryndis belonged to the first scenario when she lost contact with the blood drop. She did not even know she lost it. You could probably guess what happened after that.”
