As she turned the pages further back, she learned more information.
A thousand years ago, the God of Light led the gods in a century-long divine war against the Dark God who sought to dominate the world. Although it ended with the God of Light killing the Dark God, the God of Light was also severely injured and disappeared from the temple.
No one knows where he is, and all the angels have lost track of him together.
But rumors have it that both Light and Darkness fell into the mortal world, the Dark God did not truly perish, transforming into a being that claimed the Eternal Night Forest and Tameria as its domain, while the Light God remained silent.
The dark god incarnation refers to Kayser.
But did Guangming God also fall into the mortal world?
That's not right.
Cynthia lifted her head from the book and gazed at Kaelus, who was reading with his eyes cast down, her expression complex.
If they were two separate gods, she would never have gotten so much wool from the Golden Fleece of Jason.
He treated her and opened a spell formation in front of her. That holy breath was absolutely something that the Dark God couldn't have.
Perhaps Kaylus swallowed the God of Light? That's why he always has that strange and weird holy aura on him.
Cynthia paused for just a few seconds before kicking the idea out of her mind.
This doesn't make sense either.
The outside world alternates between day and night, with the sun shining brightly, indicating that the God of Light has not fallen. Is he living in Khaos' body? So her conquest of Khaos is actually a conquest of the God of Light?
But wasn't the Dark God killed in the history books? How did Kaylus escape from the Light God, or how did they become one?
"Kayus." Cynthia couldn't help but softly call out to him.
The young man did not lift his head, but the fingers turning the pages stopped moving.
"Why do all your servants have wings, but you, the dark god, do not?" She spoke out the doubts that had been hidden in her heart.
As a big devil having black wings is nothing unusual, why doesn't he have any?
The study was quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing outside and the soft crackling of the wick in the bright oil lamp on the table.
Caius's face was expressionless as he thought, time seemed to have passed for a century.
Just as Cynthia was about to take back her reckless question and apologize, his lips moved.
"Divinity."
"I have lost my divinity." Kyrios raised his eyes, which contained a thread of suppressed madness and frenzy. His long hands slapped the book shut with a loud noise, and his voice also became sharper. "I am not a true god. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
He was very resentful of losing his divinity and was troubled by it for a long time.
This was Cynthia's capture from his emotions, his eyes were too frightening, staring at her like a crouching beast.
Cynthia couldn't help but shrink into the sofa, leaning her back against the soft cushion and freeing up one hand to clutch at her chest, trying to gain a sense of security.
Her warm voice tried to soothe his emotions, "Do you need my help?"
"Help?"
Kairos' expression under the warm light became somewhat unbelievable, his fingers pressed against his lips, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a mocking arc. "I heard it's in Riedania, are you going to help me get it back?"
All thoughts and fancies suddenly exploded in Cynthia's mind.
She stared at Kael in extreme astonishment, her hand clutching her chest also loosening a few times due to the shock.
The Dark Lord's divine legacy lost in Rhedynnia?
Her lips trembled slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Where did that Light God go?"
Kairos's expression froze because of this matter.
It's obvious he doesn't know himself either.
"Some memories were buried along with the loss of my divinity, but as soon as I regain it, I'll be able to find the faint light of God hiding in a corner, after killing that guy once."
Kairos raised his chin, and a strong sense of combat intent surged in his eyes.
"How would you kill him?" Cynthia asked next.
Caius smiled coldly, his eyes glacial, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a terrifying grin. "Enjoy your meal."
Cynthia fell silent, and those fragmented thoughts in her mind were once again pieced together by his one sentence.
As Cygnus said, gods devour each other.
But what if Akatsuki was consumed by Kuroba and lost his divinity, turning dark?
If the history books are correct and the God of Light did indeed kill the God of Darkness, then the role that Kaylus plays should be the God of Light.
So his radiant divine self fell in Redania, while his body, taken over by darkness, appeared in Temeria, with his personality dominated by the inner darkness.
This can also explain why there is an inexplicable aura of holiness on him, and why he no longer has wings. It can even more so explain why for so many years, Rhedania never discovered the God of Light, because in reality, he was playing the role of the Dark God in Temolia, due to memory loss, not even knowing himself.
Conquering Cayo is equivalent to conquering the Radiant God.
They were never merged; they were just one person from the start.
Can you defeat the Radiant God by pulling Kyrios away from darkness and sending him to the throne of the Radiant God, only to pull him down violently?
Is this the original intention of this system? The meaning of her survival here.
Cynthia felt her eyes go black.
It's really nothing!
This means she has to make Caius fall in love with her first before dumping him cruelly.
She didn't even have time to go back before he crushed her bones and scattered her ashes...
Trifling with a deity's emotions is more absurd than being in love.
Cynthia's face was a little pale, but this paleness to Kael only seemed like she was afraid that she really found the Godslayer and went to kill the Light God.
His eyes grew even colder, and the thick book in his hand was slowly being squeezed out of shape.
"If I can be of any help, I'd be happy to." Cynthia mustered up the courage to look him in the eye and spoke her mind.
Nowadays, helping Kayrus find his divinity has become her only and must-do thing.
Let's just take things one step at a time and see how it goes from here.
Caius's expression froze, and along with it, the fate of that transforming book being destroyed also came to a halt.
"What did you say?" he asked uncertainly.
"I said if I can help you find the divine, I mean if I can be of any help, I'm willing to." Cynthia feared that he might not hear her clearly and so she spoke up again.
"I have been abandoned by the God of Light, discarded by my own country and faith, so I am willing to throw myself into the arms of darkness. I thought I had made this clear enough."
"Help you just like you help me." Cynthia repeated this sentence to him with a serious face, her clear and beautiful eyes couldn't hold any deceit.
How sincere she is.
