369 Arrival After doing all of this, the contract between us will be completed.

This was the last sentence the Calamity left for it.

He makes it sound so simple… Greed thought.

At this moment, it felt the First Contract restraining its Currere body begin to emit a faint burning sensation. This meant that the Moon Realm Calamity had already issued an order through a spell. As long as it carried out this last order, it would complete its deal with that hateful human and be able to return to its master’s caravan as a free person.

However…

Get the arrow from the throne’s armrest? In other words, he wanted it to snatch something from a Void Sovereign’s descent vessel.

If the other party sensed its thoughts, wouldn’t She directly destroy it?

Just as Greed was cursing the mission the Calamity had assigned it in its heart and thinking about what it should do, the sovereign sitting on the throne said,

“Since you’re aware of the current situation clearly, why don’t you make the right choice?”

Camilla’s soul-stirring voice echoed in the hall, causing Greed’s heart to instantly turn cold.

Could it be that the other party had already seen through what it wanted to do?

Violating the First Contract would cause it to suffer the eternal punishment of the body-devouring flames. The flames would torture it until it voluntarily gave up its eternal life. However, if it followed the Moon Realm Calamity’s orders, it would probably be instantly crushed by this sovereign.

In other words, one choice meant a more decisive death, and the other choice would be a faster death.

What should I do… What choice should I make now?

The body-devouring flames triggered by the First Contract gradually burned brighter, driving Greed to quickly make up its mind.

However, before it could say or do anything, a thin figure passed it like a silent shadow and walked towards the Withering Throne.

“I’ve never had a choice, Lady Camilla.” The person who spoke was Floral, or rather, the existence controlling Floral’s body.

A strange and unique Moon Realm power spread around her. That power blocked the commotion outside the door, suppressing everyone’s breathing, heartbeat, and pulse, returning the surroundings to silence…

“From the beginning to the end, I was only a chess piece used by eternal existences like you. Nothing was under my control, and no will was truly borne from my own needs. Mortals who are born at a fixed time and die at a fixed time might envy my humble immortality, but after experiencing hundreds of years of imprisonment and sealing countless sorrowful cries in non-existent mouths, I understood my position—I’m just a tool.”

Although it didn’t know what kind of tragic past the other party had, Greed agreed with these words. As one of the oldest Demon Generals, it naturally understood how terrifying it was to serve an eternal god.

Of course, being forced to sign a contract with the Moon Realm Calamity in servitude of the other party wasn’t much better.

However, since the Lady of Starvation wasn’t paying attention to it, it was happy to play mute. It tried its best to divert its attention away from the arrow named Karma, and Greed gave the stage to the two high-level Moon Realm existences controlling the bodies of ‘Florals.’

“In that case, can I take it that you plan on returning that body to me?” the one on the throne slowly said.

Since She hadn’t figured out Her ultimate goal, the Whispering Empress’s scheme had undoubtedly failed. No matter what She planned on doing by using this Demon General named Silence to control Floral’s body, there was no room for maneuver.

Although She didn’t plan on using that body as a stepping stone for Her rebirth, having an additional stepping stone on the path to ascending the new deity’s throne was more stable.

“If this can end my mission.”

As Silence spoke, it bowed slightly to the existence on the throne that matched its appearance to express its obedience.

The moment it finished speaking, Camilla on the throne dissipated into dust before taking shape beside Silence again.

Camilla didn’t ask what mission the other party had come here with because She knew that Beatrice never allowed any chess piece under Her control to see the entire game board. Any answer it obtained was only a smokescreen used to disrupt the line of sight.

The best way to deal with the Goddess of Conspiracy was to ignore the other party’s actions and plans and act according to one’s preferences and rhythm like that of the lunatic Valk.

“Then, state your request.”

It was as if she was looking into a haunted mirror. Floral’s similar but different bodies reflected each other in the two timelines. Cammy tugged at her exposed gums and asked,

“Let me always have the ability to speak my mind,” Silence replied.

In other words, it pursued its destruction and rebirth.

Although satisfying the wishes of another Demon General under an opposing Void Sovereign wasn’t in line with Camilla’s style, She, who was integrating different divinities, nodded slowly, either out of Floral’s desire for her original body or out of Earth Mother’s compassion for the world.

Then, Her hand stabbed into the other party’s body like lightning.

Then, as if removing some filth, Camilla slowly retracted Her hand and pulled out an indefinite pitch-black shadow.

Lunar Monsters were metaphysical existences. If they wanted to exist in Currere, they could either use ether and Creatons to create bodies or possess the bodies of other creatures.

The only anchor for Silence, who had been severely injured by the Calamity, in Currere was Floral’s body. If Camilla hadn’t been in an absolutely suppressed position and if this place hadn’t been a fake timeline that existed only in imagination, it would probably have been banished back to the Moon Realm in an instant.

Looking at the essence of the Moon Realm spirit being so easily pulled out by Camilla, Greed couldn’t help but think. Then, it realized that it was like Silence. As long as the other party was willing, She could banish it back to the Moon Realm or erase its mind. Therefore, its literal urge to burn from the First Contract was instantly suppressed by its rationality.

She didn’t do anything to it now only because the other party couldn’t be bothered to focus on it for the time being. Once…

“Wait…”

It was also at this moment that the Silence essence outside Camilla’s body wasn’t banished back to the Moon Realm. The shadow crawled up Camilla’s wrist like a snake and burrowed into Her body.

“This is… my past…”

For the first time, Greed heard an emotional voice from this goddess’s mouth, mixed with anger and indignant moans of fear.

If it hadn’t heard it with its own ears, it wouldn’t have believed that such a voice would come from a Moon Realm goddess.

However, this sudden change didn’t surprise Greed. An outstanding businessman should always know how to grasp fleeting opportunities.

Countless jingling gold coins turned into a huge hand and grabbed the arrow on the Withering Throne.

Calamity, I’ve already obtained…

Before Greed could finish speaking, two chains of rusty sickles hooked through its shoulder blades and hoisted it. Then, a feeling of weakness instantly filled its entire body.

“It’s not your turn to speak yet. Moreover, even with Karma as an anchor, the Calamity can’t come to this timeline when the Ironstone Oath has already been destroyed by me…” Camilla, who had recovered from Her momentary loss of composure, turned to look at Greed, who was hanging up like a roasting duck, and said, “Unless he has another Ironstone Oath.”

At the same time, another voice echoed in the conference hall.

“But how is this possible? Isn’t the Origin of the Moon a unique existence?”

William appeared out of nowhere. He held a withered Ironstone Heart and looked at Camilla in the middle of the hall.
