"O-oh? You can speak."
The Goddess' eyes trembled. She looked at him again and noticed that he wasn't afraid at all. He exuded the same confidence he had before she controlled him.
"Yes and I have a message for you."
"Message for me?" the Goddess tilted her head cutely. If Lawrend wasn't solemn, he would have appreciated such an expression from her.
"Your past told me that humans have fought their way through the Darkness and Fire Era," Lawrend said. He didn't know what it meant, but he could guess that it might be related to the city that he saw.
"Y-You…!"
Surprised by his words, the Goddess widened her eyes. A wave of emotion appeared on her face, and she stared at him incredulously.
"I may understand now why the Creator sent me to you."
Lawrend took a step forward. He faced this Goddess with no fear and anxiety.
"You no longer have the Will of the Goddess. You are an empty shell that has degraded with the passage of time."
