Several seconds earlier.
Wings that covered the sky like an endless canopy unfolded before the Hero.
On the Four Wings, three white and one black, there was a sense of alien sanctity beyond human comprehension, as if by immersing in the feathers that fell from the sky, one could touch the Gate of Truth.
Yet, facing this awe-inspiring sanctity, the Hero remained unmoved.
She calmly stared at the radiant humanoid figure in the center of the Four Wings, saying nothing, without the slightest sign of panic from their first encounter.
"Girl, why do you resist? Why do you remain silent?"
After locking eyes with the Hero for a long time, the Four-winged King spoke in a gentle tone.
The mechanism of the Doctrine of Reason is a debate.
The Hero, having entered the spiritual world, was supposed to engage with Him in a battle of will and words. However, she adopted a non-violent, non-cooperative stance, unwilling even to respond.
The Hero glanced at the Four-winged King before simply closing her eyes.
She had already studied the mechanism of this doctrine. Before the debate ended, she could not interfere with the doctrine, but her spiritual power was always poised to strike.
She had made up her mind that as soon as the debate ended, she would flip the table and start fighting.
Even if it meant self-destructing, she couldn't let this Four-winged being have its way any longer.
The Depraved Hero by her side let out a sneer, breaking the silence, his tone full of disdainful denial:
"We have nothing to discuss with Goblins, if you want to fight, do it quickly and stop wasting time."
"...Goblin?" The Four-winged King laughed softly, his tone forgiving.
"How could I be a Goblin?"
"No, you are." said the Hero resolutely, with her eyes closed.
Goblin... The Four-winged King was silent for a moment, then slowly responded.
"My life form is entirely different from that of a Goblin. Although I did indeed absorb elements from a Goblin, you have already understood the history. Even a Goblin can possess devout faith and achieve great sacrifice——"
The voice of the Angel King was like a rich hymn, gentle and convincing, unfolding topics in a guiding manner, aiming to steer the conversation towards His desired direction.
But the Hero couldn't help herself and opened her eyes, interrupting Him coldly:
"Stop pretending. That Cleric only had the appearance of a Goblin, whereas your heart is more like a Goblin."
Compared to the words softly spoken by the Four-winged King, the Hero's purely illogical rebuttal carried an overriding certainty.
She had closely observed the Goblin Priest in history, its engravings numerous and intricate. Even she, not proficient in magic, could see they were of an extraordinary caliber.
"The commandments you impose, even if engraved on stones, could transform them into stone man priests.
That Goblin has long been killed by you. You merely stuffed a pure soul into the Goblin's corpse, making it mistakenly believe it was a virtuous Goblin."
The Hero's voice was icy, and her emerald eyes flickered with what seemed like flames of anger.
"That's not true. If the soul was created by me, then how could people at that time not see it, yet you, only observing through images, could?"
The radiance of the Four-winged King trembled slightly, but his tone remained gentle, as if patiently guiding a child who had misunderstood:
"Prejudice, hatred, discrimination linger in your heart," the Four-winged King continued, his voice carrying a hint of compassion, "but I know, you are a kind——"
However, the Hero had no intention of conversing with Him, only continuing to express her speculation.
"When the door was opened, that pure soul perished as well. You absorbed its unique body to gain Goblin traits.
Then, you frantically bred Half Angels, attempting to command more inferior kin."
"Hero, you need to understand, it was for a more superior evolution——" The Four-winged King tried to interject, but the Hero's tone became increasingly sharp, completely suppressing His words:
"Now, you've imprisoned Lady Saintess to force her to have children. Then, let a sub-key open the Gate of Heaven, using her sacrifice as a ritual, fixing the nature of the Saintess in the descendants.
In this way, all people birthed by the Saintess, or rather, born through your power, will possess the nature of a sub-key——completely obedient to you, obedient to the so-called gospel!
Since the Angels have perished, you directly aim to transform humankind... And since the sub-key cannot satisfy the ritual's needs, you've targeted my friend!"
The Hero's clenched fists trembled, her voice nearly a scream in its clarity.
The Four-winged King finally fell silent, merely letting out a light sigh.
"Although I don't know why the Saintess doesn't resist, nor do I know what other hidden matters there might be, still——"
Forced reproduction, indiscriminate killing, propagation fanaticism, inclination to invade...
Moreover, you've harmed my friend.
The Hero counted the Four-winged King's crimes in her heart, her gaze towards the opponent now filled not just with malevolence, but with murderous intent.
"You are undoubtedly a Goblin.
——There's nothing to discuss with Goblins!"
The moment the words fell, the radiance of the Four Wings shattered, the illusory space dissipating without a trace.
[Hero's counterattack succeeded, the Four-winged King was judged as a Goblin, applicable skills: Grudge, Dawn Break]
[The Doctrine of Reason (599) reduced by 316*1.5=125]
Then, in reality, before the ripples in space fully formed, both Heroes' eyes turned Crisp.
Moments before being enveloped by the light of teleportation, they vanished from the original spot in the whirlwind, completely escaping the spellcasting range of the Key Changing.
