Blood Princess and the Knight

"Being defeated a god doesn't mean you will become a god. Besides," I don't know if it was Bai Ji's illusion, but there was a trace of contempt in the corner of the eyes of this San Wu Angel. "You can't be considered as just defeating the smart brusher in an upright manner."

"Who says we can't become gods??"

"Oh?" Angel turned around and looked at Bai Ji with an interesting expression on his face.

"Becoming a god, you? A mortal?".

"What happened to Fan Zhong? Did Fan Zhong eat your rice?" Bai Ji, who had recovered some strength, could already move around on her own.

"Let us guess, you are actually more anxious than us now, right?"

"Why do you think so?"

"God's energy is exhausted, and Baland cannot be recast after its collapse. This means that your existence may disappear, otherwise you would not jump out and tell us so much."

Angel looked at Bai Ji silently, but his eyes towards her were gradually changing.

"It's not that there is no way." The angel seemed to have made a compromise and pointed to the cabin above the chest. "The core of God is in there. Take it away and you'll be qualified."

"You didn't lie to us?"

"Of course." The angel closed his eyes slightly.

Bai Ji glanced at her, spread her wings and flew up to the cabin located at the god's chest. As if sensing something, the door of the cabin opened automatically.

"Get into it, right?"

"Yes."

Bai Ji, who was about to step forward, stopped for a moment, and then she immediately retracted her stepped foot, turned around, and looked down at the expressionless angel with a smile on her face, her eyes fixed on her movements.

"Go in, and we'll really follow your lead~ Miss Angel.

"What's the meaning."

"Don't you know what I mean in your heart better than we do?" Bai Ji leaned outside the cabin, smiling at the angel whose wishful thinking came to nothing. "You want us to become God's nourishment, right? Haha, if we hadn't learned from the past, maybe we would have been fooled."

The angel was silent.

"Tell us honestly where the core of God is hidden, if you don't mind that the world cannot be rebuilt after its destruction." Bai Ji threatened.

"On the back." The angel compromised.

However, Bai Ji naturally would not fully believe this.

"If you can open that door, maybe you can." The angel said something of unknown meaning.

Bai Ji came to the back of the statue. Just as the angel said, a door shape was outlined on the back, and there was a groove on the side, which seemed to be a keyhole.

Bai Ji repeatedly checked the strange-shaped keyhole, and it seemed familiar. She subconsciously took out the keyhole and inserted the sword body.

A dull sound of "Rumble" was heard, and as the keyhole automatically rotated, the door opened from both sides.

"I see." The angel who saw this scene murmured. "With such fate, I have already obtained the key."

"Hey, angel, we can see the ball inside."

"That's the core, you can take it."

"No." Bai Ji smiled again. "We want you to come here in person and help us take it out."

The angel did as he was told and waved, and the core ball located deep inside the door flew out on its own and fell into Bai Ji's hand.

"Is this the core of God?" Looking at the mechanical core in her arms, Bai Ji obviously didn't believe it. When taking the core away, she didn't forget to pull it out.

"Yes, in fact, throughout the ages, many people have discovered this core. They either accepted the power of the core, or chose to give up and continue to be mortals until death." The angel said quietly.

"Accept the power of the core? Rather than accepting, wouldn't the word assimilation be more appropriate?" Bai Ji sneered.

"That's true, because mortal beings can never control divine beings. So, brave man, which one will you choose?"

"If you don't accept the power of the core, the world will collapse. If you accept it, you will be assimilated into a new god."

"How should you choose?" the angel asked.

"Let's do it." Bai Ji didn't hesitate for too long as she smiled a standard sinister smile.

"What we say is, if we don't do it, we won't stop." After saying that, she raised her sword and split the core in half like cutting a watermelon.

"Why do you do this?" Angel's expression remained unchanged.

"If you want to ask why, well, we probably have our own considerations, that's it. In fact, it's not a particularly deep consideration. It's just that we don't want to be like everyone else." The corner of Bai Ji's mouth curled up.

“How reckless”

"Reckless? Maybe, but we have been speculating before. Since God has the ability to destroy Baland, why would he reshape Baland? From your explanation just now, we can conclude that God is not the only one. An indispensable presence.”

"Then the conclusion is reversed. It's not that Baland came into existence because of God. It's that Baland came into existence because he needed God."

"In other words, even if there is no core, Baland will still choose to give birth to a new god. Judging from the current situation, we can only barely defeat the god."

"The biggest difference between us and the previous gods who directly accepted the core power is that we retain our independent consciousness.
