Let’s talk about what if Galle just gives in easily, and as soon as he opens his mouth, the other side agrees! Amidst infinite golden light stands a palace built from pure gold and radiant stars. The palace gates, made of two enormous transparent crystals, shimmer with soft morning light, as the doors slowly open, a warm and divine glow pours out, seemingly able to penetrate all matter, gazing directly into the souls of each visitor. Upon entering the palace, the first sight is an endless garden. Here, rare and exotic flowers of the world are planted, each blossom bathing in golden sunlight, influenced by the solar energy, blooming in colors more vivid than those found in the mortal realm. A brook babbles, meandering through, with dewdrops rolling on flower petals, gleaming under the morning light, and due to the overly active fire elements everywhere, the entire Ninth Layer gives Wayne a feeling of a joyful dance. In the distance is the Holy Temple of the Sun Goddess, its dome towering high, radiating a never-ending stellar brilliance from inside out, and the wall surfaces adorned with numerous patterns of colorful stars, echoing the slowly flowing daylight, presenting a breathtaking scene. Wayne didn’t enter the Holy Temple; under the guidance of two Star Gods, he met Galle in a corner of the garden courtyard. The Goddess’s visage was elegant, with long and dense eyelashes, lightly fluttering as if golden light leaping from them, enhancing infinite charm. Her facial features were distinct yet lacked any sharpness, like the most exquisite artwork in the world, everything presented in harmony and perfection. Her beauty was absolute, her figure outstanding, and as she slightly revealed a smile, the surrounding air seemed to lighten. It’s the kind of warmth that can disperse all gloom, purifying and healing the soul, giving a sense of vitality and flourishing... Wayne shook his head with his eyes closed, then opened them again to find the special effects fading away from Galle’s beauty, returning to a more normal state. Still a great beauty, with looks and figure both superior, her golden hair flowing over her shoulders, stopping at her waist, each strand seemingly capturing the first ray of sunrise, contrasting beautifully with her snow-white skin. Galle wore a white robe, embroidered with golden patterns, simple yet maintaining its sanctity, softer than Wayne imagined and wiser. At least in appearance, Galle bore a wise and mature face. "My Goddess, you are even more charming than I imagined; previously influenced by Cote, my impression of you was only a fraction of reality." Wayne slightly bowed, stepped forward to lift Galle’s hand and gently kissed her fingertips. To a Goddess, this action could be deemed somewhat presumptuous, yet Wayne’s words were so pleasing that Galle forgave him with a squint. On the courtyard table was a jug of fruit wine, a golden goblet styled very Greek, Galle invited Wayne to sit and personally poured him a full glass. Wayne had sworn to never associate with gambling and drugs in his life, yet he had erred due to beauty, thus had wine early. Generally, he doesn’t drink, but a Goddess offering drink is too gracious to decline, so he picked up the goblet and took a slight sip. The taste was reasonable, with fire elements, of superior quality, only second to the imported liquor from the Dark Divine Kingdom. Galle’s beauty didn’t last three seconds before she guzzled down her drink, revealing at once her true, naive character. A kind of pure beauty! Wayne liked such straightforwardness; seeing this, he also followed suit and drank up, his physique impervious to poison, even poison turning white in his stomach. Seeing Wayne as straightforward as herself, Galle raised an eyebrow and exclaimed excitedly: "Wayne, why did you come so soon, is it because Idinis pressed you too tight, you dared not linger and came directly to take refuge?" Wayne nodded solemnly, truly a good sister from the Life Alliance, Galle understood Idinis too well. "Did I say something wrong, isn’t Idinis blowing you away?" Google seaʀᴄh 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽 "Correctly speaking, her plan is too ruthless, I can’t out-argue her, currently nowhere to break through, so I had to come to you seeking a breakthrough." Wayne shrugged, having seen Galle herself, he decided to stop acting. Galle lightly gasped, her expression turned curious: "It seems you have hidden something before entering the Sun God Nation?" "As expected of a Goddess..." Wayne lamented: "Idinis says you are a fool, surviving till now relying solely on Shi Luke’s suggestions, I denied her assessment at the time, now it seems I was right." He knew it; Galle couldn’t possibly lack a brain, she was just too lazy to use it. Galle crossed her arms, displaying an intrigued smile: "Tell me, what’s truly going on between you and Idinis, and what is the plan?" "Doomsday Judgment is imminent, each of the five Goddesses has their own schemes, yet haven’t put forward a leading sister who can command reverence, Nature Goddess Yalian may be strong enough, but her reputation’s lousy, you won’t listen even if you lose." Wayne straightforwardly stated: "Idinis acknowledges her lack of skills, hence recommends me as the leader. I have the capabilities and possess good morals, no issue with reputation, perfectly qualified for the leader role." Galle’s expression turned curious, blinking: "Wayne, wake up, Idinis is deceiving you; she herself lacks morals, why would she like someone moral?" "Because she doesn’t have any, hence she desires!" Wayne asserted. Galle shrugged, knowing you cannot wake someone pretending to be clueless, it ends there. "Idinis informed me, that you, along with Shi Luke, Yalian, Aztemo, are all untrustworthy. Rather than relying on my personal charm to conquer you, she suggests something simple and crude, pollute you all to become dependents, making you heed my word, never betraying." Wayne continued: "This way, with five Goddesses and me included, there’ll be six Divine Level combat forces, the trivial Doomsday Judgment can be easily overcome." Galle’s smile widened: "So, it’s a very reasonable plan, why not listen to her?" "I very much admire the Sun Goddess, do not wish to corrupt the sacredness in my heart." "Not joking, just used some exaggerated rhetoric, if you feel offended, I can rephrase." Wayne stated solemnly: "Fire Element doesn’t deceive Fire Element, I want to conquer you directly!" "Uh, this is even more offensive." "Honestly, it’s how I speak; I’ve been sincere since childhood, can’t change, already set." Wayne spread his hands: "All along, I’ve had a fondness for you, not wanting to use corruption to conquer you, hence, I came to wager with you." "Fire Element is desire; it’s passionate and unrestrained. You’re that kind of person, and so am I, let’s leave conspiracies out. Let’s have a fight; if I win, you’ll follow me until the Doomsday Judgment ends." Wayne squinted and said. "I’ll serve as your Subsidiary God!" "You seem quite confident..." Galle’s smile remained unchanged: "I know Idinis has given you much, but she underestimates me. This is the Sun God Nation; I have not spent these years without any progress, you are not my match, she shouldn’t have let you enter." "My Goddess, never mind Idinis, it’s just you and me here, say if you’ll wager or not!" "You’re not afraid of me reneging?" "I’m already in the Sun God Nation, what do I have left to fear?" Galle stood up, her eyes glowing with golden light: "I’ve always admired you; getting you seems worth offending Idinis." The two raised their hands and held them together. "If I win, I’m the master; if lost, I’m a dog; playing dirty is being a puppy." Galle’s eyes flickered with excitement; here in the Sun God Nation, she as the grand Sun Goddess could hardly lose in her own domain. No, certain victory!!
