Chapter 434: Our Oasis

Church of the Dawn Goddess in Changhe Town.

Messiah was staring at the light circle when the Aurora Goddess, who had just disappeared a moment ago, appeared beside her again.

"What’s wrong? You’re not going to scold me again, are you?" Messiah said, watching the Aurora Goddess cautiously.

"I have a new memory in my mind," the Aurora Goddess said seriously, "something is wrong with this dungeon."

"What do you mean?" Messiah asked, surprised.

"It seems to be a part of history that is missing, rather than a dungeon," the Aurora Goddess said, tapping her temple. "What happens inside directly affects the outside world… I finally remember how I went from the night to the Eternal Sun."

"Huh?" Messiah blinked her eyes. "That memory was clear; there was a great battle between the four factions. I died on the battlefield, and after the battle, it caused a war among the gods."

"Several gods were fighting, and Surtr came to break it up. He gave the God of Wisdom and the Goddess of the Night a beating, while the Lord of Eternity brutally attacked my boss…"

"You saw the Goddess of the Night in danger, used your power to help her, and after being drained, Surtr wounded you. You connected to the Eternal Sun using his intense flames, becoming a goddess."

"My soul left my body, living in the world of dreams. In the end, I learned all the dream laws of the Emerald Dragon God, Isira, and achieved godhood."

"Think again," the Aurora Goddess stared at Messiah.

Messiah opened her mouth, about to repeat herself, but she realized her memory seemed to be a bit fuzzy.

She muttered to herself, "What… what did I just say? I don’t remember that part…"

"I met the Card God, and I was pushed to become a goddess by Him… But even the Card God can’t change the dungeon into history, right?" The Aurora Goddess looked at the dungeon again, "To put it plainly, the dungeon was created because we were afraid during the god war; it was a backup to bring ourselves back to life."

"This dungeon exists in a crack of time; the people inside might be dead, or they might be alive, maybe they can help us, or maybe they can’t…"

"Has anyone figured out how the dungeon appeared?" Messiah tapped her chin, "Maybe its existence wasn’t created by you?"

"It’s possible," Aurora Goddess looked up at the sky.

"To be honest," Messiah said softly, "is your true self… still alive?"

"I don’t know, but I believe those who left this world early aren’t dead; my sister should be alive…" Aurora Goddess gave a bittersweet smile.

"You said, why are you all fighting for those beliefs? How much strength can a person’s belief give you?" Messiah gave Aurora Goddess a glance. "You were so active during the Age of Destruction, you even overturned the Church of the Goddess of the Night. This era is even named after your dawn, but is any of this useful? You don’t even know if you are alive or dead. Tell me, why do you keep fighting?"

"Those outer gods… they are just playing around; they don’t really want those beliefs," Aurora Goddess shook her head. "Like Surtr, he only wants a strong opponent to fight. Some gods just care about their pride. Those who left were just done playing and went away."

"Perhaps the outer gods are the ones who are right; they seem to have already given up on chasing the source and are looking for their own fun."

"Otherwise, if they all came together, the Card God’s domain wouldn’t be able to hold back many outer gods."

"Maybe they don’t respond to their followers because they can sometimes hear them but just can’t be bothered," Messiah realized.

"Look, that little ant is waving at you. Are you going to grant its wish?" Aurora Goddess pointed to the ground.

"Hmm, I understand, but you seem to care a lot about this Power of Faith," Messiah scratched her chin.

"The outer gods don’t value Power of Faith because no god can gather it. As long as belief spreads across the continent, it becomes a rare source of strength. If I could have this power, I could even fight Surtr," a sparkle shone in Aurora Goddess’s eyes.

……

In the endless starry sky.

A young man who was arranging cards paused for a moment.

He looked inexplicably toward the direction of the continent.

"Was I there at that time? Did someone from the future come back to teach me how to make cards?" Tom scratched his chin. "What kind of high-level existence can change the path of my fate like this…?"

Tom gathered all his strength, wanting to see more clearly.

He saw that his gaze focused on Karoso, who seemed to be looking at something.

Tom wanted to read Karoso’s memories about this place.

Then, Tom blinked and forgot why he was observing Karoso.

……

『』’s card-making method was gradually moving towards Tom’s direction.

One could see various mysterious rules swirling around 『』. The recent battle had a deep effect on Karoso, and the same was true for 『』. Not everyone can witness two near-divine beings fighting.

Especially when the Card God personally showed the world’s first card, it was simply the greatest blessing for the Card Maker.

Unfortunately, Karoso’s card-making skill was only at the sixth tier, so he could not see the true value of the Card God’s card-making.

However, Karoso gained as much as 『』; the battle between Tige and Hungry, the teachings of the BOSS card, and the process of Aurora Goddess coming into being were all preparations, and Aurora Goddess ignited all of this for Karoso.

At the very least, Karoso had already mastered two more rules, and they were not just those he was just beginning to learn.

『』’s magic was not as strong as Tom’s, and she could not draw on as much power.

But, her card was still quickly taking shape.

The knowledge she had learned before was racing through her mind.

Various theories turned into instinct; she only needed to glance at the materials to know what could be made.

A shape of a card had already formed in her mind; as long as the right proportions were used, she could create the card.

It could be said that it would not fail at all, at most it might just take a bit longer.

Buzz!

After an unknown amount of time, a brilliant golden light surrounded 『』, and a card appeared before her.

[Name: White Desert]

[Category: Field Magic]

[Star Level: 9]

[Grade: Golden Legend]

[Restriction: Only 『』 and Karoso Colloa can use it]

[Introduction: In this forbidden desert, only those who have visited the oasis can receive its protection]

『』 made her Heart Landscape a card!

"Teacher, you are at level nine!" Karoso’s eyes widened.

"Hmm." 『』 looked at the card and remembered the time Karoso saw her in the White Desert, causing her face to blush.

"You two are both weird, right?" Teresa had also grown, but seeing their progress made her feel like she was no different from a useless person.

From now on, if anyone calls her a genius, she will get angry.
