Wiz felt that her days recently had been quite fulfilling.
Although her days were fulfilling, her item shop was once again in the red this month.
She didn't know why, but even though the Adventurers in town often visited her shop, they never seemed to want to buy anything, despite her items being powerful and high-quality goods.
One thing also troubled her a bit: the Adventurers who frequented her shop were all so pathetic that she couldn't help but lend them money when she saw their pleading faces.
However, the Adventurers who borrowed money all left IOUs and would return the money soon. Although she didn't know their names or where they were, since they left IOUs, they would definitely pay her back.
"I hope to make a sale today," Wiz thought beautifully, dusting the items on display with a feather duster.
It seemed the world will's favor had arrived, as the bell on the door rang.
Wiz quickly stopped cleaning, looked over, and happily called out, "Welcome—come in!"
At that moment, in her eyes, she only saw three intensely hot auras rushing towards her—the aura of God, which had a strong restraining power over a Lich like her.
Before she could finish her words, she shrieked in terror, "Ahhhhhh—!" The feather duster in her hand dropped directly to the floor.
Gods are Gods—and there are three Gods.
In her haste, she stumbled backward directly into the shelf behind her, causing the items on the shelf to fall with a clatter.
"Oh, I wasn't mistaken. There really is an Undead hidden here, and a top-tier Undead at that—an evil, dark Lich." Aqua entered the shop with a twisted smile, as if she had found an easy-to-bully doll, her eyes shining, her hands emitting purifying divine power.
"Die obediently, Undead, hehehe."
"Ahhhhhh! No, don't come any closer!" Wiz was so scared that she collapsed directly onto the ground, trembling and kicking her legs, the two bulging satchels hidden within her purple robe bouncing mischievously with her movements.
"Ahahaha, evil Lich, vanish!" Aqua pounced towards Wiz without hesitation.
"Wait, please wait, God, I'm not an evil Lich, please let me explain, please let me explain!" Wiz was terrified.
"Hold on a moment, Aqua."
As Aqua jumped up, her collar was grabbed by Xia Wei.
"Wait? Why? All Undead are evil, and they must be brewing some evil plan in town, so they must be eliminated!" Aqua blurted out.
The next moment, a sharp flick landed on her head.
"Ow!" Aqua clutched her head, tears welling up from the pain.
"I told you to wait a moment." Xia Wei withdrew the finger that had flicked Aqua's head. When he tried to talk normally to this 'Goddess of Wisdom,' she would always find some irrelevant reasons to refute him. The only way to make her behave was through direct pain.
"Wuwuwu—" Aqua looked up, her stubborn little eyes filled with tears.
"Just talk to me nicely, I'm not disobedient."
In her eyes, Xia Wei was the Genesis God, and she would listen to the Genesis God very seriously.
If it were someone weaker than her or someone who looked easy to bully, she would definitely make them apologize, apologize severely.
"Please, three Gods, listen to my explanation. Although I am a Lich and one of the eight Demon King's Army executives, I have never harmed anyone to this day. I was only forced to become a Demon King's Army executive, please believe me, three Gods, uwuwu ToT." Wiz spoke in one breath, like spilling beans.
She was afraid that if she spoke any slower, she would be purified by the three Gods.
Although she was the King of the Undead, an immortal and indestructible being.
But that was only relatively speaking. Let alone a God, even a high-level Archpriest could give her a hard time.
If a God purified her, she would disappear in an instant.
Liches are originally Undead beings who regain vitality after death energy reaches its extreme. The so-called immortality is only for humans.
Moreover, she was once a member of an Adventurer party that infiltrated the Demon King's Castle. She was forced to join the Demon King's Army to save a companion cursed by another Demon King's Army executive, the 'Headless Horseman,' and then obtained the method to become a Lich from the 'Duke of Hell.'
Only then would the Demon King spare her companion.
Wiz cried weakly and helplessly, telling everything she knew.
"Really? Undead are the most deceptive. Genesis God, and Eris, you can't believe her sweet talk. She must be brewing some conspiracy behind the scenes. For the safety of the people in town, let me—" Aqua was like a cat seeing a mouse.
"It's really true, please believe me." Wiz was terrified.
At this moment, hearing Aqua's address, she quickly looked up at the male God and the Goddess.
Is this male God the legendary Genesis God? Is the Goddess the Lucky Goddess of the Eris cult?
In this KonoSuba World, there was probably no one who didn't know Eris.
After all, the currency bore her name.
"Genesis God, Eris, please believe me, I really haven't harmed anyone." Wiz looked pitiful, like a bullied little puppy, exuding an aura of "I'm weak, I'm easy to bully."
"Lord Xia Wei, are you here for Wiz?" Eris asked.
"Yes, she has a special destiny. Once her destiny is unsealed, she will grow to a very high level." Xia Wei smiled as he observed the frightened Wiz.
As a very memorable supporting character in the KonoSuba World, with a gentle and weak personality, and utterly naive, he had to take her under his wing.
Before becoming a Lich, Wiz was already a high-level Adventurer, known as the 'Ice Witch.' After becoming a Lich, her potential became even more terrifying.
Moreover, a Lich is the 'King of the Undead.' Although Liches are Undead, they are a more advanced form of life compared to other Undead.
A Lich's body is no longer purely death energy; instead, death energy and life force have reached a balance, meaning that when things reach an extreme, they reverse. When death energy reaches its peak, it begins to reverse into life force.
Therefore, a 'Lich' possesses immortal life; as long as their life force remains, they are eternally immortal.
A Lich also exists between a spiritual and a physical entity.
Currently, his Gods are precisely lacking this type of faction's divine seed in the 'Underworld,' so he plans to cultivate Wiz into a future 'God of Death' or 'God of the Undead.'
As for 'destiny,' hehe, he is destiny. If he says Wiz has it, then she does.
"Huh? This Lich has a special destiny? I don't see it." Aqua glared at Wiz.
Xia Wei almost couldn't resist raising his hand to flick Aqua's forehead again, as she completely disregarded the atmosphere and refuted his words. But he held back. She was just a 'Goddess of Wisdom,' why bother arguing with a 'Goddess of Wisdom'? Don't get angry, don't get angry.
No need to be upset with a fool.
"Eh? I, I have a special destiny? Do I?" Wiz blinked, pointing to herself with her index finger.
