Reborn As The Villain

Chapter 283 - 220 part 3: Divine Titans (2)

Chapter 283: Chapter 220 part 3: Divine Titans (2)All of the titans stood up, however only one approached the group, the one previously seated on the icy throne. Her locks of golden hair danced as she walked with powerful strides. With each step taken, she grew smaller and smaller until she faced the group. Her once golden skin turned pale like a human woman's but her golden hair and eyes remained.

She got on one knee in front of Arthur.

"I welcome you, Champion, as the representative of Goddess of Life and Beauty's most devoted servants."

Arnold eyes were glued to the area visible between her legs.

No underwear and the privates are visible for all to see.

The robe doesn't serve its purpose at all, he thought.

His eyes moved to her chest area that was also left bare in the cleavage area. Are divine beings just careless or are they exhibitionists?

"Please don't bow to a human..." Arthur scratched his cheek, "I don't want divine beings acting as mere servants in my presence."

"Your blessing symbolizes a bond of respect and unity between us as races of different backgrounds and ancestry, not subservience." She replied calmly as she raised her head. Her fellow titans gave nods of affirmation when Arthur looked at them.

"Then... I am honored to receive your welcoming hospitality." Arthur bowed his upper body, the rest of the group followed. Arnold was the only one who didn't bow.

The woman glanced at him for a second. He caught a glint of disgust for a moment.

'She's not telling them that I have a demon factor or calling me a demon itself... I wonder why...'

She faced the group. "You need not be vigilant. We would never harm humans even if they are without the Blessed One. A temple in a deity's name should not be stained by bloodshed. That is why we eliminated all monsters within this space and sealed all entries that lead to other worlds where one might encounter more monsters."

--But an exception can be made.

Hm?

Just now, did Arnold just hear the titan's voice inside his head? He decided to ignore whatever it is the titan said.

He looked at the others.

'It doesn't seem as if they heard it.'

Their eyes were still drawn to the beautiful succubus titan, or more like glued to her barely-covered breasts and hips.

The magicians lowered their staves and the warriors sheathed their weapons.

Arnold's eyes shifted to Sabrina at that moment.

She was still talking to herself.

He then looked back at the titan. She continued speaking right at that moment:

"Are you aware of the threats looming within your world and the nine realms entirely, Great Champion? Are you willing to stand up to them if you have the power to do so?"

"I am."

"The Destiny Goddess revealed in a prophecy that a great being is plotting to overthrow the divine realm in the near future. It is your duty to prove to us that you are deserving of this power and the divine artifact that comes with it."

Arnold knew exactly what she was talking about.

Ladiath.

The Destiny Goddess is capable of foresight, an authority she was granted by the Future Timeline God. This is a power that no ordinary being can wield unless they possess the knowledge contained within the Dark Scroll.

Taking the above into account, her prophecy had some weight to it.

Unlike Angelica who only receives oracles in the form of divine messages or "callings", the destiny goddess can see the whole future. This also meant she must be the only person to know who the Angelica from that vision was.

"I-Is that my first trial?" Arthur stuttered as he asked.

"It is one of your trials but not the first, Champion."

"Then what is my first trial...?"

"We shall get to that in a moment. I, no, my sisters and I have a lot to share with you. It is entirely up to the champion if he will hear our troubles." She said with a gentle smile that could melt even the coldest hearts.

"I want to hear it."

"I am glad. Please take a moment to look at the throne one of our fallen sisters once sat upon."

At her words, all of them looked at the throne that was on the verge of crumbling away.

"This is what happens when someone tries to fulfill the duties of a Champion without being destined for it. You have the Sky God's blessing so you must've been shown the visions of what occurred prior to his death."

"He was being hunted... right?"

"Indeed. And it is the duty of divine servants—whether they are angels or gate guardians—to protect the gods. We must protect the role they serve because not all of them have a replacement. The war that you saw was a result of our struggles to keep him alive." She muttered some kind of chant in godorin before a hologram appeared behind her, "That is what we faced."

Projected on the screen were hundreds if not thousands of marching tentacle monsters, their bodies exuding power that even transcends nuclear energy. Every step they took released a wave of power that destroyed everything in their path.

The screen suddenly shifted, displaying a planet on the brink of annihilation. Its surface was ablaze, fiery cracks spreading like a spider's web across the landscape. Molten lava bubbled up from the fissures, and the atmosphere was thick with ash and smoke. The planet's core seemed unstable, ready to erupt in a cataclysmic explosion at any moment.

The screens shifted again this time revealing a planet with a yellowish sky, its blue-skinned alien-like inhabitants fleeing for their lives as titanic giants marched through their world destroying everything in their path.

Another perspective showed them marching into a world of angels that was connected to another Gate guardian's world. While the gate guardian of that world managed to eradicate the thousands of invaders, the aftermath showed thousands of fallen angels, some bathed in their own blood and crushed like paper or others with their remains only being their wings and charred bodies.

The audience watched silently but their pale expressions were a dead giveaway of their true feelings.

"Offspring of Kwixt." The hologram paused itself, "That is what they are called. They are the progeny of a being who sought to become all-powerful but was instead transformed into a species that should never have existed. It sought more beings like it for thousands of years but decided along the way to create its own species when its

Before Sabrina could form the word, a blinding golden radiance blocked out all the natural light, casting an eerie and overwhelming power over everyone in the hall. The sudden shift in light sent ripples of unease through the crowd.

Sabrina's head shot up at that moment. Arnold started to turn around to see the source of the light, but Sabrina's piercing scream stopped him in his tracks.

"RUN!!!!"

Her voice, shrill and filled with sheer panic, cut through the air.

The next moment, a millisecond perhaps, a blade of pure gold flew through the air.
