Chapter 122: The Unusual meeting
Three days had passed—
In the Human Domain, deep within the Church of Light, an unusual meeting was unfolding.
In the underground chamber of the church, Solaris, Elizabeth, and Emily sat together around a round table.
The atmosphere was... weird.
Elizabeth’s silver-glowing eyes flicked between Solaris and Emily, back and forth, frowning slightly.
This had been going on for almost half an hour.
Finally, Solaris, ever the impatient one, sighed. "What’s wrong with you, Eli?" she said casually, using Elizabeth’s old nickname without a second thought. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"Don’t call me that," Elizabeth snapped coldly.
But Solaris just smirked. "I’ll call you Eli if I want. What’ll you do about it?"
Her golden aura flared slightly, the room around her lighting up as though a miniature sun had ignited underground.
"Don’t forget — just because you’ve gotten stronger doesn’t mean you’re stronger than me, little Eli."
Elizabeth’s frown deepened, silver light gathering around her like a shimmering veil. Her aura was different — it didn’t burn, it unveiled. Under its gaze, nothing could hide: thoughts, emotions, intentions — all laid bare.
Solaris grinned, about to provoke her further—
"Enough," Emily’s voice rang out, calm but thunderous. The two stopped and looked at her.
Clad in her regal robe, red hair gleaming, emerald eyes sharp as a blade, Emily’s mere presence commanded attention. She was as beautiful as before. "I’m here on a royal visit, and you know it’s not supposed to take this much time. So, to avoid suspicion," she said coolly. "Let’s not waste time. There are people waiting for us..."
She turned her head slightly. Solaris and Elizabeth followed her gaze.
A dozen men and women, shackled and kneeling behind them, waited in silence.
"Waiting to receive their judgment."
Solaris sighed, withdrawing her aura. Elizabeth followed suit.
But Solaris couldn’t help herself. "So, Eli... are you going to tell me why you’ve been glaring at us like that all morning?"
Elizabeth’s lips twitched. "Because I’m picking up a familiar scent on you two," she said flatly.
Solaris raised a brow. Emily frowned. "What do you mean?"
"I’m an oracle," Elizabeth said sharply. "And not some lowly back-alley diviner. My senses — especially when it comes to Noah — are sharper than either of you can imagine."
Her eyes narrowed. "And right now, I’m sensing the same threat from you that I sense in all the other women orbiting Noah. It’s faint, but it’s there."
She paused, lips curling slightly. Cold. "So tell me. Do you two have feelings for Noah?"
Solaris and Emily exchanged a long glance.
Then, in perfect synchronization, they both sighed.
"You’re insane."
"You’re imagining things."
They spoke at the same time. But Elizabeth wasn’t fooled — she caught the tiny hesitation.
Turning to Emily, she murmured, "Your daughter is the first to be with Noah, right? Tell me, how does it feel to desire the same man as your own daughter? Tsk, tsk... degenerate."
Emily’s eyes turned glacial. Sparks of blue lightning flickered in the air around her. "Enough nonsense," she snapped. "He’s a child in my eyes. And my daughter’s husband. I have no interest in him."
Elizabeth smirked. "If you say so."
She turned to Solaris.
"Don’t say anything," Solaris preempted her smoothly. "As for me? I don’t know... but I wouldn’t say no if he came knocking. Hell, I might even take the first step. Honestly, where else would you find a man like Noah?"
Shameless. Unapologetic.
Elizabeth’s eye twitched. She fought the urge to snap the woman’s soul in half, but no — she would be the bigger person. For Noah’s sake.
"Let’s focus," Elizabeth said coldly.
The air in the room shifted, turning sharp, serious.
Solaris nodded. "How’s it going with Rome?"
Emily exhaled. "He suspects nothing for now. But he knows Noah’s backing Sophie. He’s already sent Isaac and Albert to seek refuge with Elijah."
Her lips tightened. "Problem is, they’ve lost contact since three-four days ago. Rome’s getting restless."
Solaris shared a look with Elizabeth. "Elira told me Isaac and Albert reached out to the demons," Solaris explained. "They have lost Elijah’s support so they did that stupid thing. Maybe that’s why Rome can’t contact them."
Emily’s eyes widened in fury. "The demons? How dare they?"
"How did they even lose Elijah?"
"Sophie, of course," Solaris muttered. "But that’s not our concern now. Noah’s handling things on the demon continent."
"Our job," Elizabeth said calmly, "is to prepare the stage here. When the time comes, the Emperor will fall in an instant. Sophie will ascend. The human domain will be ours. Noah will get what he wants. That is Sophie being the Empress."
They all nodded in agreement.
"First," Solaris said, turning to the shackled prisoners, "let’s cleanse the Church of this so-called goddess’s influence."
She snapped her fingers, releasing their voices.
