Kelsey knew she would surely die at the Emperor's hands. Although she possessed a divine aura, that was all it was—an aura. She was not truly a goddess. She would not even stand a chance against Luca or the other Royal Demons if she were to provoke them. She could still contend with noble demons, since their power was comparable to that of Immortals and Eternals. Only a few Eternals like herself could stand against a Royal Demon like Emmeline.
But against Luca, let alone the Demon Emperor…
She knew she had no hope of winning. After all, hadn't she come here with only two possible outcomes in mind—revenge or death?
Since revenge was impossible, only the latter remained.
If she died, Luca would no longer have to sacrifice himself by drawing the gods' attacks upon himself. Her husband could perform the essence transfer ritual at any time, and the gods would no longer pay attention to him—even if he somehow survived the turbulence.
