Chapter 899 - 447: Blood Moon Goddess and Half a [Prophecy]

Only tell me half of the prophecy?

"You won’t tell me the complete prophecy?"

"That’s right, you can only choose one between the beginning or the end."

"..."

Herbert squinted his eyes, gazing at the mercurial Goddess before him, hesitating to speak.

Uh...

Are you serious?

This first encounter with the Silver Moon Goddess surprised Herbert yet again.

Their contact time wasn’t long, but the Goddess’s attitude had shifted several times.

Starting from the gentle and kind image in the eyes of the world, then shifting to a playful cunning, now turning strong and even unkind.

The confrontation between the two, both held an upper hand once, neither utterly defeated the other.

Herbert felt he’d done well enough, reciprocating the Goddess’s willingness to keep secrets, handling things gently, without pursuing victory.

This way, everyone’s happy, ending the first meeting on good terms, with opportunities for future conversations.

But now, not only do you refuse this goodwill, you want to turn against me?

No, it hasn’t reached the point of turning faces yet... you want to haggle with me?

Herbert wasn’t angry at this moment, but felt like laughing.

Sister, do you have any cards left?

Speechless, my people.

Encountered an unruly woman, insisting on conjuring cards out of thin air to tussle with me.

Seriously, dude... are you schizophrenic?

And as if responding to Herbert’s internal ranting, changes occurred once again just after he mentally finished his complaint.

Under Herbert’s astonished gaze, the Silver Moon Goddess’s hair began to change!

The single strand of blood-red amidst her silver hair quickly spread to the surroundings. Within a few breaths, her splendid silver hair transformed into vibrant blood red.

If it were only a change of hair color, Herbert would at most give her a thumbs up, complimenting her hair for not needing salon treatments.

But the problem is... as her hair changed, the crescent moon in the sky above also began a corresponding transformation.

A tiny blood-red dot appeared without warning on the silvery white moon, swiftly spreading, occupying it entirely.

At this moment, countless mortals not yet asleep collectively suffered insomnia.

They looked at the dark sky, gazing at the moon like a blood-red eye, and were stunned as they habitually prepared to close their windows to avoid the dangers lurking under the blood moon.

Today was not supposed to be a day for the blood moon’s appearance.

They suddenly raised their heads, calculating the last occurrence of the blood moon... it was half a month ago.

There was a full half month until the next blood moon!

And it suddenly changed in the middle of the night!

On a normal night when the Silver Moon should have been overhead.

——The Blood Moon descended without warning.

Like the Sun suddenly descending at night, the Blood Moon appeared anomalously at an unexpected time.

Herbert didn’t know the thoughts and guesses of the world.

As someone facing the Divine directly, and possibly triggering this world-scale anomaly, his mind echoed just one sentence——No, the Goddess wasn’t playing mental games.

He truly misunderstood the Moon Goddess.

This, indeed, is a case of a schizophrenic!

As everyone knows, the moon phases are inherently changeable.

In this world, the Sun and Moon don’t orbit the planet, thus no natural changes like shadow casting occur.

Here, the formation reasons for moon phases are more supernatural.

The moon phases change cyclically with the rise and fall of night power.

Some view the Silver Moon Goddess as the ruler of the night.

But this is actually incorrect.

There truly was a Divine who held the [Night] Divine Position... once.

After the God of Night perished, the Divine Position was absorbed by the [Shadow God].

The Shadow God was touted as the biggest winner of the previous "End of Gods", either picking easy targets or actively backstabbing, killing many Divines, eventually transforming quantity change into qualitative power, successfully elevating strength and status.

He became the leader of the Dark Domain, equivalent in strength to rival the Sun God, known as the [Master of Darkness].

He’s always been competing with the Silver Moon Goddess for dominance over the night, wanting total control so that all night creatures become his servants.

But the Silver Moon Goddess was no pushover.

As a powerful Ancient God, though she benefited from the Era of Faith, she retained some strength, relying little on Power of Faith.

Her followers are not numerous, and the Silver Moon Church is not large, but her strength never fell below Middle Tier Divine Power.

Moreover, the ancient Goddess boasted quite a formidable backing.

No one would dare provoke the harsh Sun... even the "powerful enough to rival" Master of Darkness wouldn’t want to.

He could only settle for less, furtively trying to secretly compete for night dominance from the Silver Moon Goddess, leading to changes in the moon phases.

From new moon to full moon, the Goddess’s revealed avatar image changes accordingly.

Simply put...

The fuller the moon phase, the greater her power and image, appearing as a veiled, plump lady.

Conversely, her power weakens, appearing smaller externally, manifesting as a maiden.

And now... precisely at crescent moon, the revealed appearance is mid-twenties, not too big, but definitely not small.
