Chapter 20: [Choices!]

"That's a lot of messed up things I shouldn't know," I said with a slight chuckle as I looked at her. She looked at me, smiling as she spoke,

"Adam. I have already made a mistake by following a God before… but I cannot go against my husband… as a non follower, what do you think is the right choice?"

"Do you love Amir?" I asked with slight curiosity. She did have a favorable opinion of him… but something felt amiss.

"I do. With all my heart… but once he becomes a God, he is going to absorb me and all his other wives saying that he will resurrect us to be immortals. Even the True Gods couldn't do it… I love him but… " Ameliana spoke with slight hesitation as I added,

"You don't like the fact that he sees you as nothing more than an object… and probably is going to leave you behind forever? You are afraid that everything that he is doing is a lie too, isn't it?"

She nodded at my words, making me sigh at her.

'Toxic love, huh?' I kind of understood the situation here. But honestly, I am no love expert…

Honestly, I do have the answer which could save her. But her toxic love won't allow her to take that path… and for the answer she wants to hear… it is going to kill her in the end…

"I do not know," I gave the best I could provide.

She smiled with slight tears before she nodded before she spoke,"I will get to chanting then," and I nodded as I looked at the sky through the window.

The chanting of Ameliana reverberated through the silent night as time passed before I saw the town's people walking towards the center. They walked into the circle without causing any problem, like mindless bodies they were.

"OH GODDESS OF CURSE! MIRAKA! I BESTOW YOU THE SACRIFICE OF ONE THOUSAND HUMANS!" Ameliana kept chanting for a dozen minutes before the circle finally began glowing, absorbing the souls of those present there.

One by one, the bodies began falling to the ground as the figure of a giant dark cloud began forming in front of us. The entire thing was rather absurd. Both the amount of mana and the size of that thing…

The lights from the four corners of the town began shining as a barrier formed, preventing the escape of the Goddess as she slowly took the form of a lady. Even though she was still a cloud, she was now in the shape of the lady.

"Liean ao buaeoou?!!" The Goddess spoke in words that were hard to understand for both Ameliana and I. Even still, Ameliana tried her best to talk to her, trying not to let her get away from the circle.

My proficiency in the Ancient Language rose rapidly as I heard the Goddess trying to talk back to Ameliana. But what I heard later made my heart skip a beat…

"Please! Don't send me to my son! He is going to kill us all!! Please, I beg of you!" the goddess begged Ameliana, who couldn't understand her except a few words, perhaps. Despite being a little proficient, all Ameliana could do was to try to calm her down.

'What is going on… here?' I saw something that was hard to describe in words.

"Blergh!!"

The Goddess then vomited out all the souls that she had eaten. Her eyes filled with disgust as she looked at Ameliana. Ameliana was even more shocked than me at this act.

"I don't want to kill another… please… why are you doing this," the Goddess, Miraka spoke as she could barely keep herself awake. But alas, Ameliana didn't understand anything at all…

I saw those souls, unable to go back to the body no matter how they tried. They seemed desperate as they were slowly turning black… into wraiths. Turning into monsters that would neither belong to this plane nor the afterworld.

'Is this how this town turned into a wraith town?' I wondered as I looked at the entire thing going in a direction that no one would have anticipated. Perhaps except Amir…

"So… what should we do now?" I questioned as I looked at the Goddess. Then I looked at Ameliana…

Should I pity the Goddess, the one who killed millions of people to save her kin once upon a time, and now doesn't want to kill anyone? Or should I pity the woman who was about to sacrifice 1000 people just to prove her love to her husband?

'Tough choice,' I felt disgusted by both of them to be fair.

It was at this moment that I felt a sudden bright light coming from the sky. If I were to make a guess, it should be the Goddess of Light, Arelia's attack, to wipe out everything here.

'While most of the wraiths and us will be killed, the souls in the middle of the conversion will be converted afterwards… matches the background… How did Ameliana survive though?' I questioned as I saw the old lady hugging Ameliana along with the Mayor as a certain barrier forms around them.

'So that's how, huh?' I smiled. Seems like Amir did send someone to protect her.

I wanted to talk with the Goddess to increase my proficiency, but it seemed like the time was up as the circle was activated, teleporting the Goddess from where she was to the place she is to be absorbed.

"Adam… what are you doing there?" Ameliana spoke as she was shocked, looking at me standing in the middle of the attack.

"Well. Let's finish this in the next run," I spoke to her with a smile as I looked at my System.
