Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 434 Level Up

Chapter 434: Level Up

"Hah, you all thought I would stay out because of my personal feelings? Not at all. If it were about personal feelings, I would be the first one to stab his heart and not you. When even his brother can kill him, why would I not have done the same if given a chance?" The Goddess of Life and Death argued back.
She didn't like that Janus was associating her with his brother. At Least that's what it seemed like.
"Then why didn't you take part in the siege?" Janus inquired, smiling.
"It was certainly not because of my personal feelings. That's something I can tell with certainty," the Goddess of Life and Death answered.
"As I said, I only stayed out because I knew that it was a bad decision to attack him. I'm not saying it because I liked him but because I knew him. I knew how strong he was. I knew how big our losses were going to be when facing him. I tried to warn other gods, but they were too stubborn. I had no choice but to stay out because I didn't support their decision of this siege. My personal feelings didn't play even one percent role in my decision.
"Don't worry. No one can hear us. We are under my domain. You don't have to lie here. Even if you said yes and I told others, no one is going to believe me. You can confess," Janus said as he sighed.
"I am not lying. I don't know what else to tell you now," she answered.
"Why did you go to meet my brother a day before we were about to attack him? Why did he cast his domain when he met you so no one could hear the conversation that took place between you two?" Janus asked, gazing deep into the eyes of the Goddess of Life and Death.
"This..." The goddess of Life and Death found herself at the loss of words as she thought about what she could say?
How did he know? She had made sure that no one knew about her trip when she went there. Until now, she was convinced that no one knew about it. How was Janus aware of this?
"As I said, I am aware of things. There is no benefit in lying to me. If I had bad intentions, I would have told it to the other gods long ago. But I didn't because I'm sure you didn't intend to fight against us. You just wished to alert the one you loved, isn't it?" Janus asked subtly.
"The Goddess of Life and Death closed her eyes for a brief second. She opened her eyes once again after a brief moment of silence. Her eyes seemed slightly red.
She stood up from her throne and started walking towards Janus slowly.
Janus watched her emotionless face as she walked closer to him.
The Goddess of Life and Death stopped just a meter away from Janus.
"You are right. I did go to meet him. And I don't care if you go to tell other gods. As you said, no one will believe you since the main question that will come from it is why your brother didn't escape if I leaked the plan. This would make your point moot. They wouldn't do anything to me based on that," the Goddess of life and Death answered.
"And even if they did think about attacking me similarly, what's the worse they can do? They can't afford to fight me since they can't afford to lose more gods after what happened last time," she answered.
"As I said, I won't tell them. If I wished, I would have told them the day you went to meet him. Anyway, I also have the answer to your question," Janus answered.
"My brother is too stubborn. His real personality is one where he doesn't even think about escaping. He is a proud god who is less like a god and more like a demon. He can die fighting and killing the enemy, but he can't run away," he continued.
"Your brother 'Is?' He is already dead. He isn't stubborn. He was stubborn. I don't believe you would make such a basic mistake when speaking. Are you feeling intimidated now?" The Goddess of Life and Death asked as she caught the minute details in Ryder's statement.
He was talking as if his brother was still alive. How could they be possible? There was no way for that to be the truth. She would have known otherwise. Even she, the goddess of life and death, was not capable of doing it. There was no way he would be alive.
The only other explanation was that Janus made a blunder. That was only possible if his mind wasn't working properly now. Could it be that he was actually scared by her and just pretending to be strong?
In strength, Janus was almost as strong as her, but that didn't mean he could not be intimidated by her.
"I made a mistake. It's not that shocking, is it? Anyone would be stunned before your astonishing beauty," Janus answered with an amused smile.
He realized that he had made a blunder, and he could only escape it by being sly.
"Is that it?' the green-haired woman inquired.
It made sense that what he was saying was the truth, but she still found it suspicious.
"Anyway, you're right. I did go to him. I didn't want the war to happen. Since the other gods weren't willing to listen to me, I went to your brother to tell him to run away and hide. This was something that could have avoided the war. Not only would he still be alive, but so many gods wouldn't have died. However, it is as you said. He is stubborn and a crazy guy. He didn't listen to me," she said.
"He suffered, but he suffered proudly. He killed so many gods. I knew many would die in the war against him, but the actual casualties were still overwhelming. I hadn't expected it to be that high. He exceeded my expectations," she continued as she sighed.
"Anyway, how did we even reach the conversation about your brother? We were talking about Asteria as far as I remember. You made me talk about something completely unnecessary. Anyway, leaving that aside, let's get back to the topic."
Janus nodded his head as he replied, "The topic was about Asteria. How is he still alive? What role did you play in it?"
"I'll repeat the same thing no matter how many times you ask. I have no idea what you're talking about. I'll be happy if Asteria is alive but I won't be sad even if he isn't. All I can say is I have no involvement with him," the Goddess of Life and Death answered again.
"Maybe you're honest, and you had no hand in it, or you're effectively lying to me. In any way, I will find out one way or another," Janus muttered as he turned back.
He started walking towards the door without looking back. The Palace once again returned back to its original color as he retracted his Domain.
A door once again appeared before him who had opened. He stepped inside and into the light. The door closed once again.
The green-haired hidden gazed at the empty spot where the door happened to be. She turned back and walked back to the throne.
"He knows Asteria is alive as well. Is he going to kill Asteria, or will he tell others? I certainly had no hand in Asteria's revival. I myself don't know how it happened. I just sensed him. That's how I knew he was alive. I cast my magic on him to make sure no one else notices him. Janus is certainly impressive if he noticed Asteria even after my warding," He muttered to herself.
"Attack now!" Ryder yelled as he flew back.
He has just attacked a powerful beast and brought down his Health to the lowest. After that, he commanded the Diamond Tiger Beast to attack the monster to finish him off and to gain experience.
The Diamond Tiger Beast was looking to be bigger than it was before. It was already twice the side.
The Diamond Tiger Beast also looked more experienced and brave than he did before. Instead of hesitating like it did the first time it battled, he jumped at the Giant Snake Monster like he was an alpha wolf who wasn't scared of anyone.
Sharp Claws came out of his paws that seemed to be made of the strongest of the metals.
Slash!
He slashed with his claws towards the head of the giant snake.
The health point of the monster was only at 1 point, which tricked down to zero.

The diamond tiger beast started getting a massive boost in his stats as his level increased due to the enormous influx of experience.
