The demigods could not sense the illusion. Both Grew and Saine simultaneously experienced hallucinations, seeing the gigantic shadow of a Goddess stretching from heaven to earth behind Wayne.
Grew shook his head to dispel the illusion, smiling bitterly, "Of course, I know you. I once extended an invitation to you, but you rejected it."
"So, then, why did you invite me?"
Wayne showed a playful smile, "You must know, at that time, I was already marked by death, destined to become a Death Knight. You, who betrayed the Goddess, chose not to kill me. This question puzzled me for a long time."
Grew frowned deeply, refusing to answer the question, instead saying, "Wayne, where did you obtain such immense power? Saine willingly entrusted her authority to you... I know her character very well, did you truly defeat her with your own strength?"
"What else? Would she obediently listen if I didn't knock her to her knees and strip her dignity?" Wayne retorted.
"That's true enough."
