Chapter 868: 786-Million-Year-Old Archrival
“Ouch!”
At the corner of a corridor on the top floor of the Supreme Castle, Selti fell heavily to the ground, her forehead red from the impact. She clutched both her head and her backside, tears brimming in her eyes from the pain.
Camina also fell to the ground, landing even harder than Selti. But since she was taller, Selti’s head had collided with her, making Camina feel the pain but not as bad as Selti, whose head turned bright red from the impact.
“Sel… Selti…!?”
“Are you okay!?”
Having witnessed the scene firsthand, Noerde and Violet, who had been running a step slower than Selti and thus avoided the collision themselves, hurriedly helped their sister up.
“Ouch, it hurts…”
Selti, tears in her eyes, rubbed her forehead, looking like a mischievous child who got their head slammed in a door.
“I told you not to run so fast!”
Violet scolded angrily.
“I… I’m sor…”
Noerde was about to apologize to the person Selti had collided with.
At this moment, Camina, also quite upset, was clutching her chest and looked up, ready to see who was bold enough to run into her so fiercely.
Due to this, Camina and the three sisters’ gazes locked onto each other, seeing clearly who they had run into.
The next second, both sides widened their eyes in surprise.
“It’s you…!?”
“Poison Demon!”
“Camina!”
The Three Goddesses of Time and Space immediately recognized this former rival.
Camina, of course, recognized these three idiots.
“What are you doing here!?”
Camina stood up abruptly, her expression darkening as she looked at the three goddesses.
It was understandable.
A thousand years ago, the top-level combat forces of the Divine Race and the Demon Clan clashed fiercely, each being the other’s strongest opponent in that battle.
At that time, to cover the Hero heading to the Demon King’s location, the Demons faced obstruction from the top elite of the Divine Race and Human Race.
Sera and Chafne were blocked solely by the most powerful goddess, the Fate Goddess Lidas.
Lide was ambushed by the Thirteen Heroes.
Milu fought an epic battle with the Justice Goddess Artemis.
Ai Yi was stopped by the Life Goddess and the Nature Goddess.
Finally, even Camina herself was blocked by the Trinity Goddess of the Divine Race, engaging in an earth-shattering battle with them, continuing until the moment the Demon King was slain and the war was declared over.
That battle was no less intense than the recent fight between Camina and Lilith.
In fact, in terms of danger level, that battle far exceeded the one between Camina and Lilith.
Back then, they were on a battlefield, a life-and-death struggle, unlike Camina and Lilith, who, though appearing fierce, had no intention of killing each other.
So, if Camina felt a bit of competitive spirit toward Lilith, not wanting to lose, the three goddesses were her true mortal enemies.
In the time shortly after the Demon King’s death, Camina hated these three sisters with a deep-seated resentment.
If it weren’t for these sisters obstructing her, preventing her from reaching the Demon King, perhaps with her support, the Demon King might not have been defeated.
With this thought, Camina’s hatred for these sisters was ingrained to the bone.
At that time, if Camina had taken a wrong path and refused to lower her head for the peace of the Three Clans, still seeking vengeance for the Demon King, it’s certain she would have first sought out the Three Goddesses of Time and Space.
This shows how Camina felt about the Three Goddesses of Time and Space.
Naturally, the three goddesses also viewed Camina with hostility.
“Bad… bad person!”
Noerde whispered timidly.
“To think we’d run into you here…”
Violet was on full alert.
“What are you doing here?”
Selti, more bluntly, turned the tables.
“Me?” Camina laughed in anger and said, “This is the Demon Realm, the central facility of our Demon Clan. Is it strange for me to be here?”
It was these folks appearing suddenly in the Supreme Castle that was strange.
“Could it be that the goddess my eldest sister mentioned, the one responsible for the collapse of the passage to the Demon Realm and who has a way to take someone to the Divine’s Canyon, is you all?”
Camina finally realized this possibility.
Indeed, if it were these three, they might really be able to help the eldest sister find the Divine’s Canyon.
If so…
“Did my elder sister bring you back?”
Camina bluntly asked.
Unfortunately, the Three Goddesses of Time and Space didn’t respond to her question.
“Who said we were brought here?” Violet retorted defensively, “Can’t we have come here on our own?”
“Ye… yes!” Noerde, hiding behind Violet, peeked out to agree.
The two were unwilling to reveal the embarrassing circumstances they went through in front of their arch-nemesis.
But…
“We didn’t get lost!”
Selti surprisingly blurted out.
“Selti!”
“Idiot!”
Noerde and Violet were left speechless.
“I see, you got lost and that’s why my elder sister brought you here for safekeeping.” Camina seemed to have seen through everything, sneering, “Truly the most childish and immature goddesses of the Divine Race, you’ve disgraced the face of Nuadra.”
Camina’s taunt made the three sisters furious.
“No… You mustn’t speak ill of Nuadra Goddess!”
Noerde shouted out bravely.
“We are not childish! The only childish and immature one is Selti!”
Violet also flared up.
This Goddess always considered herself the most mature and clever among the three sisters and always hoped to gain Nuadra’s approval, seeing Nuadra as her idol and model. Now, being spoken of like this by Camina, naturally, she couldn’t help but be angry.
Only Selti continued to struggle there.
“We really aren’t lost, Noerde, Violet, you agree, right?”
Selti turned to her two elder sisters, hoping to gain support from her companions.
But soon, Selti realized.
“Why do I feel like I’m being blamed deservedly?”
Poor Selti, tilting her head, started to ponder.
This girl always manages to be muddle-headed like this.
Camina couldn’t possibly be unaware of what kind of temperament these three Goddesses have.
She just sneered contemptuously, and said.
“No matter whether you are lost or how you got here, it has nothing to do with me.” Camina said coldly, “But how do you account for bumping into me?”
As she said this, waves of intense poison gradually began to undulate from Camina’s body.
The poison, like miasma, enveloped Camina, though it was perfectly controlled by her. Even a slight leak was enough to fill the air with poison.
It is believed that, when facing such poison, even those at the Transcend Level would find it difficult to handle.
As for the three sisters, upon seeing this scene, except for the weak and easily intimidated Noerde, the other two wore expressions of indifference.
“Trim!”
Violet even stretched out her small hand, making her fingertips shine.
“————!”
The poison in the air suddenly appeared as though locked by the river of time, disappearing completely as if time had reversed.
This wasn’t poisoning being eliminated, but rather the time when the poison was generated being eradicated.
Violet used the authority of time to cut away the period from when the poison was generated to its spread, creating a “the poison never appeared from start to finish” present continuous.
The other two goddesses also exerted their authority.
Noerde reversed time, making the poison itself appear to rewind, eliminating it.
Selti, on the other hand, accelerated the time, causing the poison to become increasingly dilute in continuous acceleration, eventually dissipating on its own.
Three Goddesses, one representing the past, one representing the present, one representing the future.
Therefore, without fusion or teaming up, the three each used their authority, allowing one to control “past” time, one to control “present” time, and one to control “future” time.
Past, present, and future—when these three concepts are combined, they form complete time.
In the past, these three goddesses used their authority over time to forcibly suppress Camina’s poison.
“Tch…”
Seeing the poison she had seriously created being easily nullified, Camina couldn’t help but click her tongue.
These three goddesses turned out to be fools, yet why should they possess such powerful authority?
The three Goddesses didn’t know how Camina was muttering about them.
They only knew that a thousand years later, this poison demon once again targeted them.
“Throwing poison at us again?”
Violet was very displeased.
“Do you want to fight?”
Selti was even more straightforward.
“We… We are not afraid of you!”
Noerde spoke with the most cowardly tone, saying something not quite bold.
But this made Camina even angrier.
In the first place, Camina was not someone with a good temper.
Now being confronted by these three fools, with old and new grudges combined, her course of action was clear.
“Very well.” Camina said coldly, “Let’s settle the account from a thousand years ago with you all at once.”
With these words, astonishing poison surged from Camina’s whole body.
“It’s coming!”
The three sisters were all startled, immediately holding each other’s hands without hesitation, allowing radiant light to bloom.
“Boom!”
The top level of the Supreme Castle exploded suddenly at one corner of the ceiling, letting a colorful figure and a purple figure dart out together.
“Boom…!”
Heaven and earth instantly trembled under the astonishing power.
“What’s going on?”
At this moment, many people were awakened by the scene.
“Huh?”
Shane, who was carrying Lilith while fleeing, also noticed the scene and was stunned.
“What happened?”
Shane looked bewildered.
“?”
Lilith also tilted her head in confusion.
The two exchanged glances, finally hurriedly returning without hesitation.
A good show was about to start.
