The Holy Priestess knew that the reason she had been able to survive the pursuit of the false Priestess was because of the Holy Spirit.

After the false Priestess was slain, it was this soul that had managed to recover even more, and helped her further. Having the soul of a goddess with her was no different than always having a god with her.

She didn't just get the blessings of the goddess, but also managed to learn many skills that she couldn't have learned otherwise. Through the goddess, she had learned knowledge that someone like her should never have possessed.

The goddess's soul was not only her biggest supporter but also the reason she was still alive. If she gave up on the goddess, she was going to lose everything.

Even though she had acted in good faith to save the people of this continent, deep down, she was greedy for power herself. She wanted what belonged to her, which was taken by the false Priestess.

After getting a taste of this power, she was being asked to give up? She couldn't accept it.

"You want to enslave her?" She tried to justify her rejection, making it appear that she was thinking about the wellbeing of the Spirit.

"I will never let you hurt her! Not in this life!" She took a step back, strengthening her stance. "Either you let us leave, or we fight to death! But remember, even if we can't kill you, we can still make you suffer!"

She threatened Eren, relying on the spirit of the goddess. Despite being injured, the soul could still burst out with her old strength, but it came at the cost of complete existence erasure for the goddess' soul.

The Soul of the God hiding within the depths of her body raised a brow, taken aback. She even felt a little angry that the little Priestess was putting her in danger.

She wasn't a fool to not understand the intentions of this little girl. Even if she couldn't read her thoughts, it was obvious. Still, she didn't expose her thoughts.

It was true that the two of them relied on each other. Moreover, she actually felt scared of Eren, not knowing what he was going to do with her soul.

Was he going to give her soul to her enemies in the upper realm? She had many considerations, and believed that Eren was definitely linked with the upper realm. If that wasn't the case, why would he become this strong?

He had surpassed the limit of this world, and he even carried a little scent of the upper realm.

It made her believe that Eren had come in contact with someone from the upper realm through some means. She still couldn't guess that he had personally returned from the upper realm.

Worried about her future, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She released her divine aura, to make Eren realize that she wasn't at his mercy.

She also left the Holy Priestess' body and materialised next to her. Her gaze looked straight in the depths of Eren's soul.

Once someone became a demigod, then it was easy for that person to see a soul as long as the soul wasn't hiding within a medium. Now that she left the girl's body, Eren was able to see her as well.

"Junior, this matter was our fault. We shouldn't have tried to hurt you. Why don't we let bygones be bygones? As the little one said, escalating conflict isn't in anyone's interest."

Her words carried a hint of threat. She was reminding Eren that she was still a god, even if she was merely a soul. Even if Eren was a demigod now, a true God was an entirely different existence.

The corner of Eren's lips crept up. The little spirit had actually shown itself. And he could feel that the aura was no weaker than the spirit that the Goddess of Light had used to descend.

It was true that a battle was in no one's interest, but he wasn't planning for a fight either. When he could use words, why would he need to fight and pose such a precious resource?

He didn't want to kill the spirit. Instead, he wanted to conquer this spirit. Of course, the fact that this spirit looked like a human, and was extremely charming, had nothing to do with his thoughts. It was just an additional advantage.

He reached out his hand towards the spirit, asking her to accept it. "I don't plan to kill you. Become my Guardian Spirit, and you can live. I can also help you create a new body in the future.'

"Guardian Spirit?" The Spirit's lips twitched. Although the words sounded fancy, becoming a guardian spirit wasn't good for her. It was no different than becoming Eren's slave.

He could command her to do anything, and she had to follow it. Even worse was that a Guardian Spirit would die if the master died.

The Goddess raised her head, and started laughing in disbelief. But in her laughter, there was a trace of anger and shame. Her bangs hid her eyes, but even then, the anger within them was hard to hide.

A mere human was asking her to become his Guardian Spirit? He truly had bigger ambitions than she had thought.

After a long time, she stopped laughing and glared at Eren. "You look somewhat decent. I didn't expect you to be such a fool behind that charming face."

She was a goddess. Even though she had fallen, she still wasn't at the point in life where she had to become a mortal's slave.

"It looks like the negotiations have fallen through," Eren scratched the back of his head, but he still wasn't planning to fight.

The Goddess was already within his grasp the moment she appeared. He had already created a spider web around her that she hadn't noticed yet.

"In that case, I hope you will forgive this junior for what he's about to do." He opened his inventory, and inserted his hand inside.
