章 537: Arms of the Fire Demon

The question caught me off guard, and it took me a few seconds to process his words. "Am I...?" I stammered.

This wasn't at all how it was supposed to go. Luke hated the gods with a passion, and he needed the Shard to gain power. Now, he had both a Shard and a goddess within reach, and I was powerless to stop him from taking either. Sure, Fate might be hidden for now, but I knew she wasn't gone, and she definitely didn't have the power to defend herself from an eighth-level being… probably. So why wasn't he seizing this opportunity?

Despite my fears, I wasted no time and quickly nodded. "Yes, we should go. I'm sure they're worried about us in Enusia."
