Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 158.2: The Truth of the World, Compassion and the Origin of the Quasigods (2)

Sebastian hurriedly looked to his side.

At that moment, the human adventurers had terrified expressions and their legs could not help but tremble.

Sebastian asked, "What did you guys see?"

"You're even asking us that?!"

The adventurers were about to go crazy. Looking at the terrifying scene before them, their scalps went numb.

"Those monsters, what exactly are those monsters… I've never seen anything so… urgh—!"

Halfway through his sentence, an adventurer began to vomit wildly.

The pitiful human adventurers were terrified by the deformed, terrifying and distorted scene before them and even lost control of their bowels.

This place was filled to the brim with quasigods!

To the brim!

The entire ground was covered by a layer of flesh and blood membrane. The bulging blood vessels moved slowly along with a gigantic heart. The ground here was an unimaginably huge quasigod!

An adventurer looked at Sebastian with a trembling gaze. "What's going on with those elves? Why… were they still able to smile? Why are they able to eat the intestines of those monsters with such happy expressions?!"

Sebastian was shocked!

He recalled the Tragic Moon Queen's instructions.

Sebastian said, "… That's because the scenery they see is different from what you see."

He looked around the beautiful world and continued, "This is a paradise exclusive to the elves. However, for you guys, it should be no different from falling into the Nether Realm, right?"

The adventurers were about to break down. "That's not a f*cking paradise. It's an illusion! Your compatriots are all bewitched by the illusion! Crazy! The people here have gone completely crazy! You're a demigod. Aren't you going to save your compatriots?!"

"Save…?"

Sebastian's voice contained a hint of despair. "There are so many people. Who can save them all?!"

With that said, Sebastian took two steps forward.

Thereafter, he saw the prosperous underground city behind the town.

On the old site of the Fremont Empire, the ground was hollowed out by an unknown existence and a huge mineshaft appeared.

Someone had built a city at the edge of the mineshaft. The scale of the city was shocking and it fell into the core of the earth like a spiral. Countless elves lived and worked here in peace. Everyone was deeply intoxicated by this beautiful world.

When the adventurers at the side saw the deformed pit that seemed to lead to the Nether Realm, they fell into despair and almost broke down.

It was not that they had not seen quasigods before!

However, everything here was still… way too crazy!

Similarly, even Sebastian could not hide his shock.

Sebastian gulped and said, "I called you guys here because I wanted to use you guys to confirm if this world was really as that woman said and had a cognitive modification targeted at elves. From the looks of it, that's indeed the case.

You guys are useless now. Come, here's your payment. Head back yourselves."

"Wait, don't leave us here! Please! This place is way too far from the outpost! Please take us back!"

However, despite the pleading of the adventurers, Sebastian had already leaped into the abyss.

…

As he continued to fall, Sebastian saw even more beautiful scenery.

The deeper he went into the underground city, the more prosperous it became. Sebastian saw more and more goddesses here who cast curious or kind gazes at him.

Finally…

He was captured by a force.

His body floated in midair and the power lifted him gently. In fact, it even healed Sebastian's injuries spontaneously.

Thereafter, a gentle voice sounded from the depths of the underground city.

"Greetings, elven demigod, respectable warrior. I'm gratified that you can muster the courage to explore this final paradise of the elves."

The voice said gently, "This is my God Realm. I welcome you."

Sebastian frowned. "This is your God Realm? Then who are you?"

The information that Sebastian obtained from the Tragic Moon Queen was neither much nor little.

Tragic Moon had clearly told Sebastian the method to purify the skeleton.

[Head to the old site of the Fremont Empire to look for the queen of the quasigods. You will encounter an illusion midway but you can escape the illusion by bringing companions of other races. Thereafter, you can form a contract with the queen of the quasigods. She is very willing to help.]

That was the end.

Sebastian was still following the strategy given by the Tragic Moon Queen.

However…

Everything that happened next exceeded Sebastian's understanding. The cruel truth almost tore his soul apart!

"I'm…"

At the bottom of the abyss, the voice said with a smile, "Compassion."

"?!"

Upon hearing that name, Sebastian felt as though he had been struck by lightning and his heart skipped a beat!

Compassion?!

Wait a minute, wasn't that the goddess who protected the elves?!

Why…

Why was she in the quasigods' lair?!

Compassion continued gently, "You came under some sort of guidance, right? However, it doesn't matter. No matter what your motive is for coming here, your desires will be satisfied here."

Compassionately asked kindly, "Elven demigod, my child, please tell me what you need me to do for you."

Compassion; this goddess was as benevolent and magnanimous as her name suggested. She wished that she could do something for Sebastian who visited her.

However, wasn't something amiss with the situation?!

Why was she here?!

Sebastian fell silent.

He knew that he should complete his business as soon as possible at this moment. However, he could not calm down for a long time as he looked at this charming city.

Everything here was way too strange.

Furthermore, the strangest thing was the gentle voice at the bottom of the abyss that claimed to be Compassion!

Countless questions arose in Sebastian's heart.

No, he had to figure everything out!

Sebastian said, "I have a question."

Compassion said gently, "I'll tell you everything I know."

Sebastian tried his best to calm down. He asked, "Why are you here?"

Compassion replied with a chuckle, "I've already told you. This is my God Realm."

Sebastian's voice began to tremble. "In that case… were you the one who ordered the quasigods to attack the elves?"

"I didn't order them."

Compassion said, "They're a part of me, but I didn't attack those pitiful elves. I merely ordered the quasigods to swallow them and bring them back here. Thereafter, I'll revive them and let them live a happy life here."

Compassion's tone was incomparably genuine. She was not lying.

Compassion said, "I can read disgust and fear in your eyes… It seems like you already know the truth about this city."

"I'm sorry… I just want to protect you guys. However, this is the best I can do."

She said with extreme sincerity, "I can no longer restore the glory of the elves. However… I've reached an agreement with Order. I'll let the elves give up their living space for the other races. At the same time, I can bring all the elves to me and live in peace forever."

With those two casual sentences, Compassion revealed the truth of the battle of the gods back then.

In order to give up their living space to the other races, Compassion betrayed the elven gods, causing them to suffer a crushing defeat against Order and be smashed into pieces, turning them into quasigods.

As for the elves, they lost 90% of their population because of Compassion's kindness towards the other races. Their countries were destroyed and their families perished, beginning a thousand years of suffering.

The painful history of being tortured thanks to Compassion...

She told Sebastian everything honestly. Her actions were completely out of the purest of goodwill and did not involve any personal interests.

Compassion had no ill intentions towards all living beings.

She was so kind and gentle.

For the sake of that loving aspiration, she could betray her compatriots and kill her followers. Using methods that were more cruel and despicable than any enemy, she tortured the people who loved her until they were covered in injuries and wished they were dead.

At that moment.

After knowing the truth, Sebastian almost suffocated.

So...

This was it?

This was the true appearance of Goddess Compassion that the elves had worshipped for a thousand years!

Even a lunatic like Sebastian could not help but feel nauseous and almost broke down.

Evil god!

She was an evil god through and through!

However, Compassion was completely unaware of all of this.

She was still immersed in her beautiful dream of saving the world and bringing peace to all living beings in the mortal world.
