Unless they blow up the moon.
The Moon Goddess, her body charred black and smelling of roasted meat, descended to the ground. Her face, like a sheet of carbon, bore a sinister smile.
“Heh… hehe… hehehe…”
The God of Light was about to fall into darkness, becoming a god of the underworld.
“Hehehehehe…”
She flew away without a word, which only made Nixian even more terrified!
No crying! She actually wasn’t crying! She must be channeling her grief into power!
Soon, a woman’s scream echoed across the Adel Continent—a scream that could silence babies and make the elderly faint, filled with heart-wrenching sorrow!
“The moon’s been blown up… the moon’s been blown up… if the moon’s blown up, you sun sure as hell ain’t surviving alone! Aaaaaaaah——”
Boom——
An even more spectacular fireworks display than before began.
“Well, fire magic’s blacked out too. Fire mages can take a vacation. Everyone go home and find your moms. All priests and fire mages in the server are down, the high-burst five-fire-mage tactic is useless, and what’s the point of grinding dungeons…”
It wasn’t just the skill bar that went black—it was the entire Adel Continent.
Huh? Wasn’t the interval between these two nights rather short? Everyone thought, looking up at the twinkling stars that seemed somewhat embarrassed.
Nixian rolled his eyes furiously. Well, time to prepare the backup sun, but wait until this little temper tantrum is over.
[Important Announcement from the Nine Hua Alliance: Please prepare lights and get ready for a long night.]
The Fire God had been carefully watching the inheritance trial of a female adventurer, when suddenly there was a huge explosion. He stared dumbfounded at his shattered bedroom, wearing only his underwear:
“I have no idea what happened. I just saw a big firework from the direction of the sun, and then it got dark again.”
“This is a black sky, also known as night. Quite rare.” I pointed at the sky and said to the little ones.
“But speaking of which, didn’t the alliance just announce they were launching a moon? Where’s the moon?” I scanned the sky anxiously, but couldn’t see any sphere rising. “Launch failed? Poor Moon Goddess…”
I shrugged. Anyway, this time it’s not my fault… right?
Wait, am I missing something?
From just now, I’ve been feeling a gaze fixed on me from somewhere around. Though it’s pitch black, I can’t pinpoint the source, but my instincts are never wrong!
Where? Who?
I quickly turned on my powerful magic flashlight and scanned around… There’s no one!
The surrounding temple looked the same as before, except that the light from the Moon Well was gone, and it seemed even darker there than elsewhere. No other abnormality.
“Over here…”
???
Who spoke?
“Over here, the Moon Well…”
???
I moved closer, squinted, and stared for a long time, but still couldn’t see anything.
Just as I was wondering, a set of white teeth suddenly appeared out of the darkness in front of me!
“Oh my god, a ghost! A haunted denture!” I turned to run, but the back of my collar tightened—it seemed the teeth had grabbed me with some invisible force.
“I warn you! Don’t mess with me! This is the temple of the God of Light and Moon Goddess! She can see everything you do wrong here! Watch out, she’ll strike down from the moon with heavenly justice and blast you to ashes!”
I mustered my courage, turned around, and threatened fiercely.
Then, a pair of eyes emerged from the darkness, watery and misty.
“Eyes can become spirits too? No…” Only then did I realize the severity of the problem in terror. “It’s a charcoal spirit! Help! Moon Goddess, save me!”
“Charcoal my ass!” The figure wiped their face in fury, but since their hands were black, the wipe made no difference.
“Here, a towel.” I cautiously handed over a towel.
“You know what’s good for you… But charcoal my ass! Look closely! Look very closely and see who I am!” Of course, they had other ways to clean their face, but they didn’t use magic. Instead, they took the towel and scrubbed their face hard.
Of course I recognized her. I could probably guess the whole story even… But what could I do? I had to play dumb!
“Your Highness Moon Goddess! You’ve finally arrived! Let me tell you, a piece of charcoal just pretended to be you and scared me! But luckily, your divine might scared it away… Oh, your body?”
Because the Moon Goddess only wiped her face with the towel, only her face was clean. The rest blended into the vast darkness…
It was a young girl’s face—not absolutely stunning, but with delicate features and a small, pitiful look that was quite pleasant to see.
The Moon Goddess said nothing, seemingly trembling with rage…
“Oh, right! Your Highness Moon Goddess, I’m here to take your trial. Look, it’s getting late, can we… start soon?” I desperately changed the subject, while sending my daughters back to the pet space.
“You… do you know…” The Moon Goddess seemed to be suppressing something, a sinister, chilling smile curling at the corner of her mouth. “…In this world… no god has ever had their bedroom blown up twice…”
“Wash away the old, make way for the new! Here, cool down, cool down! When do we start the trial?”
Thud——
Something hit my head, sinking me a bit into the snow.
Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud——
I was hammered into the snow.
After she finished, the Moon Goddess seemed unable to bear the grief of being blown up twice. She covered her face and wailed…
This really isn’t my fault!
“Even though I know it’s not your fault, it’s my own doing, my own stupidity for setting the Moon Well to auto-activate… but I’m so angry… so angry… so angry! It’s so embarrassing!” I kept my mouth shut, not daring to speak. It seemed this crybaby Moon Goddess didn’t yet know that the first explosion was also my doing.
I must never let her find out!
“Do you know how hard it is to be the Moon Goddess? Do you know how hard it is to stay in the Moon Palace and maintain energy transfer? I finally coded an automatic conversion program, got a moment to sleep, and some bastard blew up the moon! Then I rushed to set up a backup moon, flew halfway, and it blew up again… Look at my dark circles! Look! Take a look!”
“Are your dark circles on your neck? That would be truly astonishing black…”
“I’ve never complained about this! Why? Because I’m a god! A god should be exalted, without flaws, to live up to believers’ faith! A god should endlessly provide divine energy, be omnipotent, to fit the position! Bullshit… Do you want to be a god? I’ll give you my divine spark!”
“No… no way…” I wouldn’t dare say yes. “Exactly, being a god is so tiring. I wouldn’t want to be one. Hard work, Moon Goddess…”
To my surprise, hearing my words, the Moon Goddess instantly stopped crying, staring at me with wide, watery eyes.
“Do you really think that? Do you really believe a god shouldn’t be exalted and flawless? Do you really not think a god should protect their believers?”
“Bullshit. If you leave everything to the gods, what’s the point of living…” I meant it. I didn’t believe in gods, because I had seen the most devout believer die hopeless and helpless before me, while their god sat quietly on the altar, never paying attention, as always.
The Moon Goddess seemed soothed, her hostility vanishing instantly. “I like you! If only everyone were as reasonable as you…”
Alright… Waaaaaah… I’m so mad… I don’t want to be a god anymore! Let all the backup moons explode! To hell with illuminating all beings!
So she really is a crybaby goddess, just like the rumors… But this talk is dangerous… The continent’s priests would cry.
Still, she’s unexpectedly reasonable. She didn’t blame me. She has the bearing of the Moon Goddess—tolerant and just.
“Anyway… about the trial…” I asked cautiously.
“Easy. Beat me!”
What? Fight a god?
“Hand-to-hand! A priest who can’t fight isn’t worth a damn!”
Wait… This value system… Your Highness Moon Goddess… Could you also…
“Study medicine to heal the retarded! Wield a staff to save the world! Screw the holy light! Fox demon, take this! Taste my staff!”
