"...Who knows."

Rednaya looked up slightly, her bangs falling down to cover her eyes, making it impossible to discern her expression.

"When I was a child laborer, I thought eating enough and living with my younger siblings was my pursuit—and then the factory overseer chopped off my leg, didn't want to compensate, and just fired me."

Leoz said tactfully, "Revenge your grievances, you could actually go and kill him."

"I didn't, even after gaining Strength, I just reported the overseer, watched him go to prison, and only got the death sentence because of hired murder and ties with the mafia."

Rednaya said casually:

"Actually, I'm quite a good person. At the beginning, I was quite kind."

"When I was at a loss, I unexpectedly became a Professional, joined the Secret, considering my Guide as my reborn parents and the Secret and Earth as my new family—then after two hundred years, the Guide died, and the Secret Council disbanded."

"Just as I was lost again, a group of Moderate Faction Secret Citizens decided to harmoniously coexist with humans, attempting to integrate into human Society—and then the leader, the White Knight, was betrayed by their own, and I lost direction again. At that time, I even lost someone very important to me—who was it? I can't remember, probably erased it myself."

"Before becoming your God Embracer, I had already been abandoned, picked up, and cared for three times—and then, each time, I watched all this destruction with open eyes."

Rednaya lightly tapped the table and said perfunctorily:

"At that time, I remember what I thought? Oh, humans, really complicated, I don't want to be one anymore. Let's try killing a few thousand—oh, I didn't feel guilty at all, seems I really don't like humans anymore."

"Then I joined you and either killed or slaughtered the civilizations of those Evil Gods—speaking of which, you are quite hated, even forced someone as loyal as Oshen to turn against you."

"Oshen is loyal to the Starry Abyss, not to me, vainly attempting to restore Morphederia's mediocrity, therefore exiled as an Evil God."

"Explain as you will—anyway, that's how I chose to transform into a dragon. As my Strength grew stronger, what I wanted remained forever out of reach, all the people I loved left, even when I gained more later on—I was no longer human."

"Leoz, you understand me best—but even you cannot understand me at all."

Rednaya turned to look at Leoz:

"If only there was a glimmer of hope back then, I wouldn't have finally chosen to drag the moon down and annihilate humanity in Haines."

"Now, there's nothing I really want."

"Children, I have as many as I want, parents? I've never seen what they look like, love, friendship, for a Longevity Breed, I have as much as I want. Gourmet food and powerful Strength... I basically have everything."

Rednaya rested her index finger on her chin, looking thoughtful:

"If I had to say, the only thing I want is Eternity."

"I don't know what Eternity represents, but I've already obtained everything in the world."

"Now—I just hope I can surpass the Chief God, surpass the dragon, surpass the Primordial Species, and even surpass a Destroyer like Leviathandal."

"I want, from the world's end, to re-record the entire world, allowing the new world, under my eternal perspective, to be healthy, complete, and under my control."

Rednaya paused, looking at Leoz:

"If I say this, would you sympathize with me?"

"No." Leoz blurted out, "Our alliance doesn't mean I believe every word you say."

"Ha, then just assume the above are all lies."

Rednaya glanced away:

"From now on, let's discuss serious matters—speaking of which, I was preparing for the worst, yet you managed to surprise me a little."

"What do you mean?" Leoz was puzzled.

Ping—

Rednaya snapped her fingers, and a jade mist instantly spread, an invisible force lifting a female body onto the table between two thrones.

The woman was unconscious, with a curvaceous figure and a cool outfit, exuding an irresistible scent of alcohol.

"Qinlan Jiuge—it seems the whole Empire incident was your orchestration?"

"The Dragon Satellite incident too—how did the Primordial Species taste?"

"I forgot." Leoz said, "The relationship between Merid and me is not like normal love, it's more like kinship."

"The emotional barrier unique to Longevity Breeds, I understand."

Rednaya said this, walked to the table, and immediately frowned, pinching her nose in displeasure:

"How much alcohol does this woman drink every day, to the point where it's in her bone marrow, enough is enough."

"According to the setting, about two thousand tons a day." Leoz reminded.

"Ugh, this smell is really terrible—it takes a Kappa Rank body to avoid being burnt by alcohol."

Even Rednaya couldn't help but criticize:

"Tsk, but the situation is stronger than people. This drunken woman's Strength and appearance are very suitable. The upcoming tasks will be dangerous, even I'm not confident of coming out unscathed, so I will personally join you, and this body, I'll use it."

"Lending a body? Can't you personally dispatch an avatar? So many-headed dragon."

"Glina should have told you—about four hundred years ago, I disappeared in front of her."

"What does that matter?"

"The reason for disappearing is," Rednaya looked at Leoz, "I went to the Primordial Abyss."

Leoz stood where he was, speechless, staring straight at Rednaya.

"Of course, I didn't go in, just reaching the Nether Abyss, I encountered an ambush."

Rednaya lifted her shirt, revealing her fair, flat belly with a hideous, dark scar left behind:

"The Emperor Anpolo, by playing Gaia's lapdog, has basically completed the final Reforging. As soon as I reached the Nether Abyss, I was discovered and wounded by him—but, fortunately, only lightly. Although it affected my Strength, and my body was damaged, my Godhood is intact, so there's no need to worry."

... 'my' Godhood.

[You're used to it anyway, Severston's turning the streets upside down looking for you.]

Despite inwardly ridiculing, Leoz had no intention of betraying Severston—the latter was his truly reliable comrade. Following the topic, he said:

"In my memory, you should not fear Anpolo."

"I am not afraid of Anpolo."

Rednaya said solemnly:

"However, the Emperor I met was not just Anpolo."

Leoz paused, suddenly his pupils constricted, realizing the other's implication.

"—Destroyer."

Leoz said:

"The Dark Titan, Gelbroth!"

"Exactly."

Rednaya placed her hand on Qinlan Jiuge's head, saying:

"Anpolo and I are different; Gaia holds the leash of his sanity, and eventually, he will be completely devoured by Gelbroth, becoming the hunter of the Secret."

"The situation of the Scholar Lyle remains unclear, but I believe he won't watch the current order be broken."

"We must act quickly, otherwise, we will eventually face the lineup of at least one Destroyer and Gaia of the Secret Society."

Rednaya said earnestly:

"Unlike us two valiant who love Life and the Cosmic, those two... they truly would destroy the world."
