The great victories in Mantia and Marigold were enough to excite all the Heavenly Kingdoms.
However, for the God Consort on a personal level...
Apart from the joy of victory, she was dealt a considerable blow thanks to Thea Haines who had appeared out of nowhere from Heavenly Kingdom Marigold.
How could the God Consort have expected that?
Her lover, the young Prince Rayne, had long had a wife with whom he shared deep feelings...
Regarding that, the God Consort had no intention of blaming Rayne at all. That was because based on the situation at that time, the God Consort could easily conclude that the relationship between the two of them did not seem to be… the usual type.
The English version of ‘Nier Reincarnation’ could seemingly be released soon
It was more like the feeling of a childhood sweetheart who had died and was suddenly revived.
Rayne could not be blamed for fooling around behind his main wife's back either.
After all, the God Consort was a married woman to begin with.
As the God Consort had once said to Rayne, she would not ask the next Emperor of Haines to be devoted to her. However, the problem was that…
Although the God Consort could be magnanimous, this main wife who suddenly appeared did not seem to be that easy to talk to.
At that time, the threat that Empress Thea whispered coldly into the God Consort's ear seemed to still be ringing in her ears.
To be honest…
The God Consort was a little frightened.
The God Consort had never seen anyone with such a powerful aura. This had nothing to do with strength or divinity. It was the result of a soul going through countless pain and tests.
She had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, fought countless battles on the battlefield and in the officialdom, defeated countless strong enemies. Bit by bit, it took more than ten years and decades before she was finally forged into an iron-blooded Empress from the gigantic furnace of the mortal world.
No matter how warm she was towards her husband, it was only towards him.
If it was anyone else, they did not know what terrifying consequences they would have to endure if they dared to say no in front of this aloof Empress…
Not to mention, this Empress's strength was unfathomable as well. Even Edaline, one of the strongest demigods in the mortal world, was forced to seek help from her brother when she confronted her.
The God Consort had no choice but to face this sad truth.
The appearance of a domineering main wife who loved Rayne deeply had completely ended the relationship between her and Rayne…
This disappointed the God Consort.
However, before she could be disappointed for long, when the God Consort returned to Dawn, she heard another piece of bad news.
Something had happened to the God King.
It was said that during the period of time the God Consort was away from Dawn, he suddenly fell ill and locked himself in the palace.
He even took the initiative to invite Moonlight Queen Alice to set up a barrier, sealing himself in the palace completely as though he was a prisoner.
There were many different opinions about the God King who had suddenly fallen ill.
Alice was the only person who had entered the palace and seen the God King.
After the God Consort heard the news from Alice, she fell silent.
The God King was indeed sick. However, this illness was more terrifying than anyone could imagine.
The God King... was an anchor point planted in the Heavenly Kingdoms by Far Silence.
When she found out about this, the God Consort was surprisingly calm.
The God King she had worked with for ten years was actually an anchor point planted by Far Silence. Logically speaking… the God Consort should at least be surprised.
However, the God Consort was so calm...
She was so calm that she felt afraid of herself.
It was as though... she had expected this from the beginning.
Furthermore, what was even more terrifying was that if even the God King of this High Elf alliance of the Heavenly Kingdoms was merely an anchor point planted by Far Silence...
The God Consort and the High Elves were faced with such a despairing reality.
They were bound to lose this third war against Far Silence before it even began!
In the beginning, the God Consort had imagined that one day, the Heavenly Kingdoms might be able to revive their morale and unite against a great enemy, fighting hand in hand against Far Silence.
However, that was completely impossible!
Right from the beginning, what Far Silence wanted to do was not to reduce the threat of the alliance of the Heavenly Kingdoms so that they could obtain a higher chance of winning.
They were even greedier and crueler.
They wanted to corrupt the Heavenly Kingdoms without bloodshed and turn it into a base for them to invade the mortal world!
This news suffocated the God Consort.
The life and death of the God King was not important. What was important was the terrifying intentions revealed by Far Silence in this incident!
However, right then.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the God Consort's mind.
[Isn't this a good thing? ]
The God Consort was alarmed and looked around hurriedly. "W-Who's talking?!"
However, there was no one around the God Consort.
Thereafter, that voice sounded again.
[Everything is under control. Everything in the way has been cleaned up. This is our last chance.]
[It's time to enter the next stage of the plan.]
[It's time for you to wake up.]
Only then did the God Consort react.
That voice sounded from her consciousness.
She must have been too tired recently…
The God Consort smiled bitterly and convinced herself without probing further about where that voice came from.
However, she was secretly flustered…
The situation was already getting worse. The God Consort had to admit that now was no longer the time to talk about love affairs…
The matter with His Highness Rayne could be discussed after the war ended and the God Consort became a widow.
Right now, the God Consort had to focus on this war.
The God King was activated as an anchor point and he had already lost the ability to rule the Heavenly Kingdoms. In that case, the God Consort would become the only opinion leader in the Heavenly Kingdoms.
At that moment, the God King did the right thing. He handed the rule of Dawn to Rayne.
The God Consort announced her support for her husband's decision immediately and used her authority to endorse Rayne while leading the Star Attendant Court to stabilize the situation.
The Haines Empire was rather prestigious in the Heavenly Kingdoms to begin with. It was not a big problem for Rayne to represent the Haines Empire to establish a wartime alliance with Dawn and become the commander-in-chief.
As for the other Heavenly Kingdoms, they might not obey Rayne's orders, but they had to listen to the orders of the God Consort.
With the cooperation of the God Consort and Rayne to lead the Heavenly Kingdoms together, coupled with the support of Leta and Haines, although they might not be able to win against Far Silence for sure, they would definitely have more hope than when the God King was in charge.
However…
Right now, there was another problem that needed to be resolved.
The God King had become an anchor point for Far Silence. Although he was still resisting the corruption in the palace, he had already lost the right to use the Starburst under such circumstances.
Given how imminent the war was, it was clear that the Heavenly Kingdoms could not handle losing their strongest damage output of the Starburst.
In other words…
It was time for the God Consort to choose a new God King.
It was a rule set by the seniors that the Star Elves could only serve one God King in their lives. However, now that the war was imminent, the big picture was naturally the most important.
At that thought, the God Consort's heart skipped a beat…
Who in the Heavenly Kingdoms had enough power and reputation to hold onto the Starburst Sword firmly?
Who exuded the fragrance of a hero and could obtain the recognition of a Star Elf and truly be worthy of the Starburst in her body?
The answer was already obvious.
The God Consort was uncontrollably excited.
Could she finally become His Highness Rayne's possession... officially?
Right then, a Star Attendant arrived in front of the God Consort.
"God Consort."
The Star Attendant said respectfully, "The Sages have something to discuss with you. It's related to the candidate for the next God King."
Sages.
That was how the High Elves of the Heavenly Kingdoms addressed the previous two Star Elves.
It seemed like her mother and teacher had already received the news.
"I'll go right away!"
Filled with anticipation, the God Consort rushed to the Star Attendant Court to meet the two seniors.
…
Perhaps because of some reason during her descent into the mortal world, the God Consort lost all her memories of the cosmos.
The amnesic God Consort possessed mature rationality and rich life experience. However, she did not know where this rationality and experience came from.
The moment she arrived in the mortal world, the God Consort was in a confused state.
She chose the God King in a daze and became the goddess of the High Elves in a daze.
In that initial period of confusion, the two Star Elf seniors became the God Consort's only support.
They were compatriots of the God Consort and were the only people who could make her feel a sense of familiarity.
They were good teachers and friends who had always accompanied the God Consort. One of them was even the biological mother of the God Consort who gave birth to her.
Although it sounded strange for a married woman to come to the mortal world and become the consort of an alien man, there was nothing wrong with it for the Star Elves.
That was because from the beginning, the titles of the God King and God Consort were merely titles.
It was the same as how the God Consort used her prestige to endorse Rayne and support him in commanding the Heavenly Kingdoms.
The relationship between the God Consort and the God King was essentially a wartime alliance between religious factions and secular politics in order to maximize the cohesion between the Heavenly Kingdoms.
The thing that connected the God Consort and the God King was definitely not love—it was a great ideal to protect the world and all living beings.
Arriving at the altar beneath the Star Attendant Court, the God Consort cast a spell and used the Starburst in her body to awaken the two dormant souls.
The phantoms of two Star Elf seniors appeared in front of the God Consort.
They looked at the God Consort kindly. "Mian, you're here."
"Mother, Teacher…"
The God Consort recounted the current situation to the two seniors respectfully.
"The God King has already been assimilated by Far Silence. I've lost my God King. Mother, Teacher, please allow me to make an exception and choose a new God King."
"Of course."
Her teacher said kindly, "Mian, we've already chosen the most suitable candidate as the God King for you. Orlando of Heavenly Kingdom Night Mountain is a hero second only to Sommerfeld among the High Elves. Now, lead the Star Attendant Court to Night Mountain and form a contract with Orlando."
"…?"
Upon hearing her teacher's words, the God Consort was stunned.
The great victories in Mantia and Marigold were enough to excite all the Heavenly Kingdoms.
However, for the God Consort on a personal level...
Apart from the joy of victory, she was dealt a considerable blow thanks to Thea Haines who had appeared out of nowhere from Heavenly Kingdom Marigold.
