Faniya.

This wasn't any ordinary name. In fact, there was only one person in the entire Universe that could use this kind of name.

Moon Goddess Faniya, one of the Ancient Gods. She was an ancient powerhouse like the Nature God and the Elven God, but was extremely low-key.

Most people knew very little about her, and she wasn't seen during the war between the Gods. Many disasters that struck the Gods in ancient times had been skillfully avoided by her.

She seemed to always stand aloof from all events, silently carrying out her own role.

In the darkness of the night, there would always be a bright moon guiding lost travelers back home.

The followers of the Moon Goddess were rare, but there were many more people that truly respected her from the bottom of their hearts.

It was so even for the Gods.

From what Marvin knew, during the era when the Ancient Gods were fading, the Moon Goddess was the most respected Ancient God.

At the Gods' Assembly concerning the attack on the Universe Magic Pool, Faniya chose to remain silent. That was the reason the three Great Gods were confident enough to work together to carry out that matter.

Otherwise, even if Lance wasn't here, the New Gods wouldn't have dared to act so recklessly.

After all, the New Gods, in the Ancient Gods' eyes, were only a group of fledglings that had just shed their mortality.

...

If someone else had claimed to see Faniya, others would have snorted disdainfully.

But when that name came from the Wilderness God's mouth, no one thought he was joking.

The Moon Goddess descended. Silently.

That nebulous figure couldn't be seen directly. Marvin found that regardless of how he looked at her, he could only see a hazy moonlight.

Faniya really was as mysterious as the legends said.

Her aura didn't seem very powerful, but Marvin knew that this was a trick.

He had noticed that when the Moon Goddess arrived, the aura of the Wilderness God that had been covering the entire area disappeared.

It wasn't just suppressed… It had completely disappeared!

The stone on the petrified man's skin began to collapse!

It felt like his own skin was shedding.

As the Wilderness God kept laughing crazily, that layer of stone skin crumbled into powder, revealing a bloody humanoid figure!

He was badly mutilated. Looking carefully, one could see that part of his body seemed to be gelatinous.

That person would scare everyone, regardless of where he was.

But somehow, they didn't feel any fear.

"This is Lady Faniya's glory," Minsk said emotionally.

"She is completely overpowering the half-awakened Wilderness God's energy. Great, with Lady Faniya making a move, the Wilderness God's resurrection is sure to fail!"

Marvin nodded.

The Moon Goddess' appearance relieved him too.

Although he hadn't clashed with the Wilderness God yet, the stress caused by their urgent situation couldn't be described as merely being intense.

He originally thought that he wouldn't encounter too many problems in the Crimson Wasteland. He didn't expect that after his run-in with the Dream Guardians, he would meet the Wilderness God, and now, Faniya.

'After this matter is over, I'll just obediently bring Minsk back to Feinan. At least, before the Universe Magic Pool completely collapses, there won't be too many dangerous things.'

Marvin smiled bitterly. His strength could be considered to be at the peak of Feinan, but it was negligible when looking at the entire Universe.

Moreover, he still had to get his reward from the old fox of the Migratory Bird Council.

He had narrowly escaped the Wilderness Hall, and hadn't he gotten most of the benefits he wanted already?

...

After that hazy silhouette appeared, she didn't say anything for a long time.

As for the Wilderness God, he only said a word and then also fell silent.

Clearly, he wasn't in a good situation.

Marvin could see that the Life and Death array he had been trying to change had once more returned to Bandel's desired arrangement.

The Wilderness God was in the Sacrifice spot again, and Lady Silvermoon had returned to the Life position.

This was all due to the Moon Goddess' sigh.

She really was too powerful.

"You are Faniya?"

Unlike the others, who were filled with respect, Hathaway didn't seem to be affected much by the Moon Goddess.

She stared at that moonlight, calmly continuing, "I remembered that we had an agreement."

"Moreover, you also went against your oath! You imparted your Witchcraft to an outsider!"

The outsider she was talking about was clearly Bandel.

But how could Bandel bother to bicker with Hathaway now?

As soon as the Moon Goddess descended, he had started frantically working on the array!

3 times the speed!

5 times the speed!

10 times!

'Not enough! Not enough! Just a bit faster!'

Bandel was supposed to have a cold and indifferent heart, but it felt like a flame was now burning within it.

He didn't even glance at the Goddess and only buried himself in his work.

Under the effect of the Life and Death ritual, the Wilderness God's power was continuously siphoned away. It all flew into Miss Silvermoon's body through the complex six-pointed star!

A faint, silver flame began to flicker over her ruptured arm!

This was the sign of her Divine Fire being re-ignited!

To resurrect a God, a God needed to be sacrificed!

This was what Bandel had been planning for so long!

He didn't want to resurrect the piece of shit Wilderness God, the Evil God who led him astray, but rather...

His lover.

...

"Be at peace, Witch Queen," Faniya eventually responded.

Her voice was very pleasant. Even though her words were in Common, they gave out a serene, ethereal feeling.

"I shall soon strip the Witchcraft from Bandel. And as compensation, you will have my aid you when you reforge the [Heim Scepter]."

"You should be aware of how many people detest the Witches. It will be no easy matter for the Anzed Witches to rise again. You will need my assistance."

Hathaway snorted, "We obviously know, or else we wouldn't have signed that agreement with you in those times. Allowing you to borrow our [Night Flower] was already a huge sign of sincerity from the Anzeds. In contrast, your favor seems somewhat cheap."

The Moon Goddess didn't seem bothered at all despite being faced with Hathaway's overbearing attitude. "Each generation of Witch Queen has been very outstanding, and I am even more surprised by what happened to you. It was truly unexpected for you to be able to break through the Anzed Curse."

"As for my sincerity, you can rest assured. After all, I originally was one of the Anzed."

This marked the end of their discussion.

But the onlookers couldn't help but stare in shock after hearing these revelations.

The Moon Goddess had a contract with the Anzed. Marvin could faintly feel something like that from Hathaway's previous words. But he hadn't expected Faniya and the Anzeds to be so deeply connected!

As Marvin was silently thinking over everything he had just heard, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes looking at him.

"So, you are [that person]." Faniya's voice carried a hint of curiosity and amazement.
