Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 62 Are you also a believer of the Goddess?
A lamb, with soft and fluffy hair like white clouds, may be considered a cute creature, but it is ultimately just an inhuman beast. It actually sat on the dining table with its own bowl and plate, and was concentrating on savoring the soft and delicious beef and crispy carrots. This made Alice feel very unhappy, and she stared at it.

Of course, the golden maid would never admit that the real reason she disliked it was that in the game, this guy had hit her kidneys at least 20 times, almost breaking them. Such a war criminal-level performance, was he worthy of sharing the celebration banquet with her?

Lingge is unfair in rewarding and punishing, favors villains and distances himself from wise officials. If this continues, Tianxin Church will be on the verge of national destruction and extinction!

She was indignant, but unfortunately no one paid any attention.

Lingge and Saint Xia Liya were sitting across a dining table, looking into each other's eyes. Both of them had golden eyes, as clear as a mirror, reflecting each other's faces. Both had calm expressions, as if they were looking at another self in the world.

Metien looked at Lingge on the left and Saint Xia Liya on the right. She felt that if she didn't speak, they would remain silent until the end of time, so she took the initiative to greet the latter: "Hello, Sister Saint Xia Liya, I am Metien, do you remember me?"

The girl then moved her gaze down to her face. Her eyes softened and a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. "Hello, Metien, I still remember you. You are a brave girl. Thanks to you for winning the battle this morning. Thank you."

"Hey, it's not as good as you say."

The pink-haired girl lowered her head in embarrassment, looking a little shy. However, her modest words always gave Lingge an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. He glanced at Alice who was competing with the lamb and was speechless.

"By the way, Sister Saint Xia Liya, how did you know we live here?" Metien asked curiously, "You suddenly disappeared before, and we looked for you for a long time. We were all worried that something had happened to you. Now we are glad to see that you are okay!"

After fighting side by side in the morning, she had a good impression of the blue-haired older sister. Of course, part of the reason was that the other party's noble and calm temperament was exactly the type that little girls yearned for. She hoped that she could become such a person when she grew up, instead of being a noisy neurotic.

Alice was relieved.

“Oh!” Alice nodded repeatedly, as if to say “I totally understand.” “It’s so complicated, I don’t understand it at all!”

Saint Xia Liya didn't care at all and smiled slightly: "Destiny is indeed a very complicated thing. Even I am often confused and lost by it."

"I'm really sorry to have made you worry about me, but I didn't leave on purpose. I just had other things to do." Saint Xia Liya explained softly: "As for how I found your location, it's very simple. It was the 'line' that guided me."

"Yes."

"Huff!" Someone next to me sneezed, but we won't say who it was for now.

Saint Shallia shook her head gently, and her clear and pleasant voice seemed to pluck the string in her palm, flowing out beautiful notes: "No one in this world can control fate, so I am not the controller of fate, but its observer. I observe the path of their flow, search along the network they weave, and occasionally capture some signals they give me. Only then can I slightly pluck the trajectory of the string and interfere briefly, but it will soon return to its original state."

"I know, I know!" The golden maid said excitedly, "You said before that these lines are symbols of fate. Interfering with the direction of the lines is equivalent to interfering with people's fate, which can make them go the right or wrong way. Therefore, Fialli turned a blind eye to us who are so close to her. And you, you are the controller of fate, the Girl's Royal Power·Destiny, right?"

"Sister Saint Xia Liya," Metien tried to get the topic back on track, "You just said you were looking for something. Can you tell me what you were looking for? Maybe we can help you?"

She raised her hand, and in her white palm, she could vaguely see a golden thread floating through, flowing into the unknown void. This line between illusion and reality attracted the attention of Linger and Metien, and even Alice, who was standing next to her, temporarily put aside her competition with the lamb and cast an interested look.

Metien tilted his head: "Line?"

"Not exactly correct."

Then why are you nodding?
The brother and sister were both speechless.

So everyone thinks so. It’s not that there’s something wrong with my IQ.

"I'm looking for someone, a person chosen by fate." Saint Chariya said softly. Although she was answering Metien's question, her eyes were looking at Linge: "Only those chosen by fate can peek into the mysteries of the world in the infinite vortex and call for the kingship of the world to awaken again. Mr. Linge, when I first met you, I had a premonition that we would meet again at some point, because it was a reunion destined by fate."

"Afterwards, I followed the guidance of the 'line', looking for the singularity that changed the trajectory of all things in this world, and finally I saw your face again. This made me sure that you were the one I was looking for, and the only one who could help me. The golden apple was the best proof."

Is Lingge the person that Saint Xia Liya is looking for? Metien opened her eyes wide, feeling like she was listening to a fantastic story. Alice scratched her hair: The one chosen by fate? The boy met the girl? What a cliché plot.

Linger was unmoved: "This only proves that you may have found the wrong person."

"No." Saint Xia Liya shook her head gently and said, "There is no wrong choice. It's just that you and I have not yet understood the deep meaning."

"Oh?" Linger raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, looking a little surprised. And Metien's reaction was even more excited. He put his hands on the table, stood up from his seat, stared at the girl opposite him, and said in a raised tone: "I know, this is the teaching given to us by the goddess. This sentence appears in the twelfth section of the first chapter of the Canon! Sister Saint Xia Liya, are you also a believer of the goddess!?"

No wonder everyone met and fought side by side, it turns out that all this was the will of the goddess!

The pink-haired little girl was in a very happy mood, and felt that her relationship with Sister Saint Shallia had suddenly become much closer.

but.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not a believer in the goddess."

Saint Shalia replied: "The goddess you believe in has a more special meaning to us."

A more special...meaning?
If it is not the relationship between gods and believers, then what is the relationship?

Metien looked puzzled, Alice looked curious. Only Linger had a hunch and was momentarily absent-minded.

The next moment, Saint Shalia opened her lips slightly, and her voice softly echoed in the small kitchen:
"We are all lives created by the Goddess."

“Therefore, she is our mother.”

"He was also the original owner of the golden apple."

……

On the first day, God created the world, brought light, and filled the world with His magic power.

On the second day, from the magic power came fairies, dragons, and the spirits of sky, earth, and sea.

On the third day, humans and magic appeared together.

On the fourth day, humans found themselves unable to use magic because they were not favored.

On the fifth day, civilization began and new rules were established.

On the sixth day, God will fall asleep and divide his power among the most innocent girls, hence the name: Girls' Kingdom.

……

On the seventh day, the king fell into eternal sleep and would never be awakened.

The world began to move in another direction.
