Chapter 379: Meeting Ophelia
Silva turned back human. He walked toward the castle of Ronan, determined to finish the war and end Ronan. But as he reached the doors of the castle, he felt a strange energy—it felt unfamiliar yet very familiar.
He didn't know what to do when he felt that energy. He decided to go in regardless because he didn't know what it was, but as he was about to step through the door, he felt an extreme uneasiness.
He didn't know why, but he could not shake the feeling that something was very, very wrong. And just then, an old friend came back to him.

As if that was not bad enough, a being suddenly started sending beings against me, putting my life at risk every single time.
Then there was the demon threat, Lily's visions, Quin's dreams, and a whole lot more that keeps on happening and happening, and I don't understand.
I ran with it. I didn't question it. I never questioned the fact that no one knows what this world is called, that no one knows why there are seemingly no other continents when there should be.
I never asked a question because I wanted to believe. I wanted to believe that you knew what you were doing and that, in due time, I would come to really understand what it is that I am doing here.
But on the contrary, I got more and more questions piled up to ask. I had more and more things that I wanted to know—more and more truths that I needed to know.
And the day I tried to speak, some being tried to silence me and take away my memories. When it got to that point, I knew I could not stand for this. I was being controlled—a puppet tied to strings, dancing to a tune that I never agreed to.
When I came here, I agreed to help you with your task, but I never agreed to become a puppet for your control.
When the system gave himself for me, he gave me a message from you, saying I should save you. I really felt like you were in distress. I started believing maybe it was not your fault.
But then, now you put another system in my head and force me into this place that I don't want to be. And now I'm looking at you, and there is no distress—just a goddess looking at me.
If the demons are out, you go deal with it. I will not be a part of this anymore," Silva said.
"So you don't care about your family then? You know they will die in this. The calamity caused by the demons is not little," Ophelia said.
"Yes, classy. So you brought me here in order to blackmail me into being your puppet?" Silva asked.
"No, that's not it, Silva. Right now, what I am doing, I should not do. And when I am done, Order will come for me. He will take me away and remove my control over this world. As a goddess, the crime is not big enough for me to die, but he will completely make sure that I can't interfere.
And that's why I sent out my message. I also need you to save me. I need you to help me get free from these chains that have bound me for so long.
True, I am not a good person. I have manipulated and used my world many times in an attempt to create something that will save me from what I am in.
This is the last opportunity I might ever get to see you, Silva, and so I'll use this time to tell you all that I can—the truth of this world.
I'll tell you of a time before the heroes and the demon kings, the full story of my world, Argon," Ophelia said in a serious tone.
