Chapter 492: 304 Temptation and Intimidation (4.6K, first update)_2

Everything is understood without words.

What do you think?

Do I really have to spell it all out?

"...You, a Paladin, are truly greedy."

Stella sighed, the smile fading from her lips as she slowly said, "If you don’t care for these things—then how about power?"

Young one, do you crave power?

"A power strong enough to defy destiny, do you not desire it!!?"

With this temptation, Herbert’s expression finally changed significantly as he looked inquisitively at Stella.

Why don’t you tell me more?

"When I was just a child, I already understood one truth—everything in this world is rooted in power."

"With power, you gain everything, you can take whatever you need from others."

"Without power, you lose everything, even what was originally yours will be cruelly taken by others."

"Power is the foundation of all things!"

"The weak can only be plundered by the strong, and they deserve nothing else!!!"

Stella shouted excitedly, her right hand slammed down on the railing of the terrace, smashing it into pieces.

Crack!

After the loud noise, Stella regained her calm and chuckled lightly, "Haha, I got a bit excited."

"You might be curious why I’m so angry... because I was once the one being plundered."

Oh?

Herbert raised an eyebrow, but before he could speak, the outspoken Eliza asked, "You? You were plundered by someone?"

Doesn’t seem like it.

"Of course."

Stella smiled faintly and said in a soft voice, "My sister, Svanni, she took everything from me!"

"The curse that was born with us as twins!"

"She took everything from me! Talent, power, destiny..."

As Stella recounted, Herbert squinted his eyes, recalling the "destiny of twins" that Svanni mentioned before.

Svanni didn’t go into detail at the time, preferring to skim over it, but Herbert kept it in mind.

Later, he investigated thoroughly with the Guardian and learned a shocking piece of knowledge.

The curse of the twins.

In some cultures, twins are not seen as a blessing but as a deadly curse.

Legend has it that one of the children will seize most of the twins’ talents, leaving the other as an incomplete, flawed being.

Therefore, in some tribes, they would intentionally kill one of the newborn twins to maintain balance.

Those twins who survive by chance would continue to fight and plunder each other throughout their lives until only one victor remains.

"I once had no power and could only be plundered by her better talents! Humiliated by her time and again!"

"But later, hahaha, she angered the Saint and was imprisoned! As for me... I found my own strength."

"I am no longer the same as I was before."

"Completely different!"

With Stella’s loud proclamation, her aura began to change.

It no longer exuded charm but instead fell toward a deeper darkness, releasing a strong, sinister aura.

Her body also underwent obvious changes, with fine scales appearing on her skin, as she began transforming into a non-human form.

Hiss!

With a soft sound, her legs ruptured and transformed into a snake tail—unlike Teresa’s perfect transformation, it turned into a crimson snake tail that looked skinned.

Her flesh touched the ground directly, producing a creepy, slick sound as it slithered.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

After the transformation was complete, her aura surged towards the Legendary Peak, quickly breaking the legendary limits and approaching an epic level!

But, she was just one step away from fully stepping into it!

Even so, this power far exceeded what Herbert and the others could handle!

The previously disdainful Eliza’s expression turned extremely grave, clutching Herbert’s hand tightly, ready to flee with him at any moment.

Damn, how did this person become so strong!?

Now she understood why her companion "Vilamay" was so easily beheaded.

There’s no way to defeat this strength; it cannot be dealt with by a single person.

"So what about the curse of the twins!?"

The snake-like Stella savored the power within her body, grinning fiercely.

"Through the blessings of my master, I obtained power sufficient to challenge that damn fate!"

"Once this ritual concludes, I will fully ascend as an Apostle walking the Mortal Realm for my master!"

"I will go and kill Svanni, completely ending this disgusting destiny!"

"I will kill her!!!"

After roaring like an oath, Stella glared at Herbert, saying solemnly, "Herbert, trust me, you also need this power!"

"Don’t you want revenge?"

"I know you killed many at Frost Crystal, but is that enough?"

"Your brother is dead, yet one sinner still lives, right?"

"Your father! Isn’t he still alive!!?"

Her golden vertical pupils solidified, her sharp gaze piercing through Herbert’s body like a sword, her harsh voice stabbing into his ears like a long knife.

The Evil God’s minion kept questioning the darkness deep within the Paladin’s heart!

"He stood by and watched everything happen, isn’t he the true sinner?"
