Mystery: Chaos Path

"What?" Lilith was clearly somewhat puzzled.

"The root of your corruption, in the end, is still because of that Fallen Mother Goddess, so why not directly solve Her from the source?" Leonard had no intention of being mysterious. His smile brightened a little as he said, "If that Outer God falls, even if there is still a possibility of Her returning, wouldn't you be much more relaxed?"

Resisting the will of a Pillar that has already fallen is a completely different concept from resisting a Pillar that is still alive.

Killing the Mother Goddess certainly won't eradicate the corruption, but it can minimize the impact.

"...I cannot kill Her." Lilith was probably shocked by Leonard's words, her tone becoming complex, with hesitation, surprise, and also a hint of probing.

"I can help you." Leonard said with a smile, gazing at the flower that carried Lilith's will, and said, "Of course, not now. When I set foot on the end of my pathway, I can help you kill that Outer God."

Leonard wasn't talking nonsense. He was confident that after completely digesting the Naya power fragment in his body, he wouldn't be weaker than any of the Pillars. As for the Mother Goddess seemingly being unkillable—others might not be able to do it, but Leonard didn't think so.

In terms of essence, Naya's power is only higher than the Pillar level of this world.

As for why Leonard wanted to kill the Fallen Mother Goddess—wasn't it obvious? Leonard had bombed that Mother Goddess countless times, before and after. Other Outer Gods might not have a grudge against Leonard, simply wanting to invade Earth and obtain Source, but that Mother Goddess would definitely come looking for Leonard once the barrier disappeared.

So, of course, Leonard had to strike first.

Of course, Leonard wouldn't regret bombing the Mother Goddess, after all, She was the main force attacking Earth. Even if he didn't bomb Her, when the doomsday arrived and the barrier disappeared, he would still have to confront Her.

Since that's the case, it's better to get some combat power from Her hands.

"...How long will that take?" Lilith didn't question Leonard's words, but simply asked.

"I don't know, perhaps you need to wait patiently." Leonard smiled, not making any empty promises, and said, "However, Ms. Lilith, don't worry, I am a very conscientious merchant. Before delivering the goods, I don't mind giving you some freebies."

Lilith didn't ask what the freebies were, after all, the answer was already obvious. She only asked, "What do I need to give in return?"

"I am leading a revolution, a war that will reform the entire world. You should know that a war can never lack food and doctors." Leonard said with a smile, "And if this society wants to truly become better, it must be built on sufficiently abundant resources, the most important of which are food and medical care."

There are many things people need to live in this world, among which food and medical care are essential. People will die if they don't eat, and people will die if they don't treat their illnesses. Apart from these two, although others are also important, they can mostly be managed.

"So the Earth Mother Church is very important to me. I need the Beyonders of the Earth and Moon pathways to do something." Leonard said very bluntly. He smiled and said, "Of course, you can refuse, just as I can refuse you. But I believe neither of us will do that."

Lilith was silent because She saw the seriousness and hidden meaning in Leonard's words—he needed the Beyonders of the Earth and Moon pathways, but he didn't necessarily need Her, the Earth Mother Goddess.

Even considering Her current terrible situation, Leonard didn't need to do anything. As long as he didn't offer help, She would probably be finished by the time the doomsday arrived.

At that time, Leonard could even receive what he needed without any effort to destroy.

But this would obviously have some hidden dangers. After all, the Beyonders of the Earth Mother Church were all Lilith's believers. Without the Earth Mother Goddess, even if Leonard received them, he might not be able to drive them because of faith issues—devout believers can really die for the gods they believe in.

So, the other party said, "I believe neither of us will do that," because if he had the cooperation of Her, the Earth Mother Goddess, it would obviously be much easier to drive the believers of the Earth Mother Church to do things.

"...I cannot completely trust you." Lilith said after thinking for a while.

"I don't need you to completely trust me, Ms. Lilith, as I said, I am a conscientious merchant, I will not ask you to pay all the price before completing the transaction." Leonard said unhurriedly:

"We can gradually deepen our trust in each other, I will give you freebies, or you don't mind paying me some deposit?"

Leonard didn't expect Lilith to easily put the people of the Earth Mother Church on the gambling table just because he talked to her. After all, he couldn't kill the Fallen Mother Goddess for a while, nor could he completely solve Lilith's predicament. In this case, unless Lilith was a naive fool, she wouldn't foolishly put all her chips on.

From beginning to end, Leonard only planned to complete the initial mutual probing between Lilith and himself and reach a preliminary transaction.

… …

Klein and Derrick were chatting with Emlyn White.

The thing was like this, the two of them were originally bored waiting in the hall, Derrick suddenly heard some movement, so he pulled Klein to the living area behind the church, and then found Emlyn White who was locked in the basement.

"...That is to say, as long as you convert to the Earth Mother, you can gain freedom, so why not do that?" "Derrick Jones" showed a curious expression, as if he had become the sunny and cheerful simple college student again.

"Bah! You are insulting my piety to the Ancestor! I will never believe in the Earth Mother! Even if this hateful priest locks me up for the rest of my life, I will never yield." Emlyn White seemed to be humiliated, and his voice became excited.

No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one is, one look, one look!

"Really? I don't believe it." "Derrick Jones" expressed doubt about this, and said with a smile: "Unless you make a written statement."

Upon hearing this, Klein glanced at his little partner. Although there was no evidence, his intuition told him that the other party was definitely plotting something bad.

"Huh? Make a written statement?" Emlyn White probably didn't expect Derrick to say this, and was obviously stunned.

"Yes, otherwise, who wouldn't say empty words like you? Only a written statement is a bit credible." "Derrick Jones" continued with a smile, "Otherwise, I have reason to believe that you are just talking big."

"Okay, make a written statement, then make a written statement! I tell you that my belief in the Ancestor is by no means something you can question." Emlyn White was so provoked that he said without any hesitation.

"What are you doing?"

At this moment, Bishop Utravsky's voice came from the corridor behind him.

"Bishop Utravsky, we are discussing whether Emlyn White will convert to the Earth Mother..."

"Derrick Jones" turned around and briefly explained what had just happened in a few words, and finally looked at Bishop Utravsky and asked: "Bishop, do you have paper and pen here? I want to borrow it."
