Sensing Eve's arrival, the short figure in front of the statue slowly turned around, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes.
Just like the last time they met, Death Hella still descended into the world of Segers through God's Descent, and the target of her possession was still the Dark Dwarf Temple Master of the Church of Death.
However, compared to the last time they met, Eve felt that the other party's aura was more profound.
This also meant that the spatial barrier between the world of Segers and the outside world had slightly loosened, and the True God could project more power down.
A divine barrier had been set up around the Temple of Death to isolate the inside from the outside world. Eve used her divine power to remove the disguise of Zero, the Chosen, and returned to her original appearance.
Then, she followed the etiquette of the World Tree's inheritance regarding the meeting of the True Gods and bowed slightly to Hella, smiling.
"Good afternoon, Her Holiness Hella."
Hella raised her eyebrows slightly. She glanced at the dim light outside the temple and said,
"Her Holiness Eve, this is the underground world. There is no distinction between day and night."
"But Black Rock City is also using the timekeeping method of the surface world, isn't it?"
Eve blinked.
Hella followed her gaze and glanced at a wooden clock hanging on the temple wall. She did not comment.
Then, her gaze paused on Eve, and her expression changed slightly.
"Her Holiness Eve, congratulations on improving your strength."
Her voice was lazy and pleasant, as if she had expected this.
Eve was not surprised that Hella had discovered the change in her strength.
After her strength had increased to low-level divine power, her avatar had also been strengthened. Although the strength she could unleash was still limited to the demigod level, her aura had become more solid.
"It's all luck. I have to thank you for your continued support."
Eve replied with a smile.
Then, she saw Hella's mouth twitch slightly, as if she was rolling her eyes at her. She then sighed and said, "There's no need to say anything more.
"There's no need to be so courteous. I only hope that you'll inform me in advance before you deal with other True Gods, especially when you're borrowing the Death God's divine power …"
"Although I've promised to cover for you, don't always think that I'm omnipotent … Let's not talk about Uleor, he's just a weak Divine Power. But I have no intention of making an enemy out of the Eternal Overlord … although I don't like him either."
After hearing Hella's words, Eve understood that Hella was reminding her not to simply shift the blame, and that even if she wanted to shift the blame, she had to discuss it with her in advance.
It was most likely that the Eternal Overlord had discovered the theft of the Scepter of Life in Maple Leaf City, and he had suspected Hella based on the divine power of the God of Death.
Thinking of this, Eve smiled embarrassedly and said to Hella:
"Sorry, I'll definitely do it next time."
After that, a light flashed in his hand, and a dozen sparkling divine blood crystals appeared.
"Your Holiness Hella, this is my thanks for helping to cover for you."
Eve raised her hand gently, and the divine blood crystals flew to Hella.
Hella's eyes lit up slightly, and she took them without hesitation, a trace of satisfaction on her face.
Seeing that Hella had accepted her gift, Eve was relieved.
To be honest … it was quite satisfying to shift the blame to Hella every day, but when Hella really came to see her, she felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.
Hella put away the divine blood crystals, thought for a moment, and said, "You've made too much noise.
"Also, you've caused too much of a ruckus. Let me remind you, it's best if you protect your main body well. The Gods in Heaven will definitely send someone to check on Saegus when the mana in the plane increases."
"If you want to be active in the Segers Dimension, it's best to have a more reliable identity. Just using the name of a god isn't perfect."
Hearing this, Eve nodded.
"Thank you for your reminder. Actually … I already have some plans, including an active identity in the Segers Dimension. I still need some support in this aspect …"
With that, she told Hella about her intention to disguise herself as the new Goddess of Life.
"The new Goddess of Life?"
Hearing this, Hella's expression was slightly strange.
She thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Indeed … such a disguise might make others overlook your identity. After all, you're still different from your predecessor. I understand. I'll cooperate with your disguise when you need it."
Seeing that Hella had agreed, Eve was slightly relieved.
She thought for a moment, then continued to ask,
"Your Holiness Hella, is there anything else you need from me? Is it related to the changes in the Abyss? Do you know what's going on with the Abyss? "
Hearing this, Hella shook her head slightly.
"This time, I came to the Segers Dimension mainly because I had some other matters to deal with. I just happened to receive your message, so I might as well meet you."
"I've seen your message. The entire Universe of Segers has sensed the changes in the Abyss this time …"
"In fact, the gravity of the Abyss has been gradually increasing, but the speed is very, very small, so small that it's negligible. There haven't been many such drastic changes in history."
"No one knows when the Abyss appeared, but ever since the True Gods discovered the Abyss, they observed that it was constantly attracting and devouring the Upper Planes … It can be said that the Abyss is the end of all planes, and also the nightmare of all living beings."
"The gravity of the Abyss has almost doubled compared to when I first inherited the Deity Position. There are speculations that the reason why the Abyss is gradually growing stronger is because it constantly devours fallen dimensions to obtain the origin of the dimensions …"
"And one of the original intentions of my teacher, the Primordial Death, in creating the Underworld was to monitor the changes in the Abyss and seek ways to save the dimensions that have fallen into the Abyss, as well as to purify the erosion of the Abyss …"
"This is also one of the duties of the Death God."
So that's how it is.
Eve was deep in thought.
"So … the increase in the gravity of the Abyss this time is just a coincidence?"
"How can there be so many coincidences in this world?"
Hella shook her head.
"Every change in the Abyss must be accompanied by fluctuations in large dimensions. Perhaps it's the change in the Segers Dimension that indirectly affected the Abyss."
"But you don't have to worry too much about the Abyss. The Abyss is indeed growing stronger, but the entire Universe of Segers is also slowly expanding. Although the expansion speed has decreased a lot in the past thousand years, it still maintains a delicate balance with the changes in the Abyss."
Hella explained.
Eve heard this and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, as if thinking of something, her heart moved.
"Your Holiness Hella, if there's anything you need help with regarding the Abyss, I can help. For example … solving the erosion of the Abyss and so on."
"Other things aside, I'm now very interested in the evil gods that have been eroded by the Abyss."
"If I'm not wrong, there are many such existences around the Underworld and in the underground world of the Segers Dimension. And you have your own sphere of influence in these places … If you need, I can help deal with them."
Hearing this, Hella raised her eyebrows.
"It's because you have the ability to devour the power of the Abyss, right? 'Absorb'? You want to use the power of the Abyss to recover your strength? "
Eve smiled without saying a word.
Hella and the previous World Tree were friends, so Eve was not surprised that she knew some of the World Tree's abilities.
Hearing Eve's words, Hella was a little interested.
"If needed, I will."
After saying that, she sighed slightly.
"'Absorb' … What an enviable ability. The power of the Abyss that other True Gods avoid like snakes and scorpions can be turned into nourishment in front of you."
"If I didn't know that there was a limit to your absorption, I would have wanted to transplant your main body into the Abyss."
Eve was speechless.
Hella did not stay on this topic for too long. She sighed and changed the topic.
"In fact, I did come to you this time because I need your help."
"Hmm? What do you need me to do? "
Eve asked curiously.
"I want to borrow your Chosen One."
Hella replied.
