The little goddess tried to run away while her two ‘would-be’ killers argued. This was her only chance to run away.

But as soon as she tried, Huye stopped her attempts. Her body created a barrier between the outside world and the little goddess. The goddess tried to get past Huye with her powers.

Blinding light flashed in the room and the little goddess used this opportunity to change directions. But Huye was not even phased. If anything, Huye’s impassive eyes looked bored but fierce.

“For someone who talks big, you sure are powerless when it comes to actual fighting. I wonder how long you will last against me in a fair fight.”

Huye punched the little goddess in her stomach. It caused the little goddess to lose momentum and she fell to the ground.

But before she could make any other move, her hands were bound by something and she looked down to see a chain holding her in place.

Her eyes followed the chain, only to see Zadkiel standing behind her with an impassive expression on his face. He looked angry and disappointed at the same time.

“Y-You dare to confide me? How dare you do this to me. Let me go. I said to let me go right now.”

The little goddess tried to break free from the chains. But the more she tried, the more those chains tightened around her.

What was worse? Since she had Zadkiel under contract all this time, his magical presence was like second nature to the little goddess. Her body was not seeing Zadkiel’s powers as a threat and not saving the little goddess.

She had dug her own grave.

“Eons of being under your command has taught me a thing or two about you. Now, it is time for me to take my revenge.”

Zadkiel took the knife Yohan had given him and embedded it into the little goddess’s heart in a single swoop. It made the little goddess cry out in pain and agony.

She tried to move away from her pain but Zadkiel did not allow her to move. The more the little goddess tried to get away, the deeper her wound became.

In the end, the little goddess stopped struggling and she was bound in her place. She was helpless and the only thing that was left to do was to deliver the finishing blow.

Zadkiel was about to do just that when the little goddess decided to raise her head for one last time.

“Y-You will….be cursed……if you……touch……me…. the…. curse of…. the….h-heavens….”

The little goddess wanted her desire to live still strong. That was the only thing that caused Zadkiel to stop and consider what would happen to him.

While his desire for revenge was strong, was Zadkiel ready to die for that? Somehow, the answer did not come out of his heart and Zadkiel had to back down.

The little goddess noticed this hesitation and an inaudible laugh escaped her mouth. She suddenly felt hope surging inside her once more. She could live if she played her cards right.

“You…cannot…escape…. your…fate…. give…me…and…come…back…”

The little goddess started her speech but she did not get very far.

Just because Zadkiel was hesitating to kill the little goddess did not mean everyone else will as well. And Huye was the person to deliver the finishing blow to the little goddess.

“How annoying. The worst the heavens can do is curse me, right? But I am about to die anyway. It is a win-win for me no matter what happens.”

Huye seemed to have no regret about killing the little goddess.

Since Huye had used the demonic powers to do her dead, the little goddess’s soul had been shredded into pieces. She would no longer be able to survive and be reincarnated.

In this way, the existence known as the little goddess was no more. Her soul had been erased from any existing reincarnation cycle.

“Are you sure it is alright for you to take on the heaven’s wrath? This is not a curse that will disappear just because you died and were reborn. It will follow you throughout your other lives and-”

Zadkiel tried to warn Huye but she had a serene expression on her face. Somehow, it was clear that Huye knew what was going to happen to her and already made peace with herself.

“You know, I do not think there is a ‘next left’ for me. When Yohan purposed this deal, I had a feeling this would be the end of my existence as well. And now I am certain that my soul will be shattered once I die.”

Huye explained it all to Zadkiel with a calm expression. She seemed to have come to terms with herself ceasing to exist.

Had Zadkiel been a better person, he would have cried for Huye or even asked her if he could help her out. But Zadkiel was not invested in her now.

All he wanted to do was to make things easier for himself. And he would do what would benefit himself no matter what.

“I understand. If that is something you have decided for yourself, then all I can offer you is my condolences. I hope you are satisfied with your decision until the end.”

That was all Zadkiel was willing to do for Huye and the female knew it as well.

It was neither sympathy nor compassion he was showing. And that somehow made Huye certain that she had made the right decision.

Zadkiel was someone who had what it took to stand beside Yohan. He was strong and he was also determined.

‘Yeah, I am sure things would be alright once more. I should take care of myself for now since I do not have much time left.’

“You should head out to Yohan’s location now. I still need to find a successor for myself and train them to take the throne. My work will never end so I should get to work now.”

Huye left Zadkiel in the room alone as soon as she was finished speaking. She seemed to have a lot of work left to do suddenly.

And Zadkiel also did not wait around. He could feel Yohan’s conflicting emotions and he decided to visit Yohan as fast as he could.
