I, the Holy Maiden of Light, tear apart the Outer Gods.

Abandon your past, abandon your beliefs, abandon everything in this world, abandon... your body.

Give them to me.

I will grant you the right to stay by my side forever.

As Nyarlathotep's gentle whispers faded, Ange's eyes grew vacant, her cherry-pink lips parted slightly, repeating Nyarlathotep's words:

"Give up...give up...give up..."

"Give up my ass!!!"

Under Naya's astonished gaze, Ange's previously empty eyes regained focus, and a layer of gold appeared in her light blue eyes.

A slight pushing force came, and before Naya could react, she was instantly pushed to the ground.

The next second, a soft body pressed down on her.

Naya's gaze was once again drawn to those golden eyes.

"Huh...huh..."

Ange's heavy breathing hit Naya's cheek.

"Twenty seconds left..."

Hearing Ange's almost murmured voice, Nyarlathotep gave a strange smile. "What an interesting toy... to last this long. So... how about this?"

With a soft crack, a fissure appeared on Naya's cheek, and soon these spiderweb-like cracks covered her entire face.

It added an eerie quality to her originally exquisite and beautiful face.

The whispers in my ear grew increasingly frantic.

"Huff... Hah..."

Anjie's breathing became increasingly heavy.

"Phew... You forced me to do this... Nyarlathotep!"

Ange gripped Nyarlathotep's collar with both hands, her golden eyes fixed on the half-smiling Nyarlathotep beneath her. With a fierce look, she suddenly leaned down.

A gentle touch came from her lips, a sensation like an electric shock that left Naya stunned on the spot.

Even the tentacles that were swaying around its body froze in mid-air as if they had crashed.

ten...

Nine...

A fishy, ​​sweet taste filled her mouth, and Anjie bit her lip to keep herself conscious.

six...

five...

Time passed slowly, and Naya's eyes went from being blank at first to smiling later, and finally she simply closed her eyes.

two...

one...

"...I won, Nyarlathotep."

"Hmm~ Congratulations~"

Section 12, Chapter Twelve: The Black Goat Cult

When Ange looked at Naya again, the tentacles and cracks on her body had disappeared, as if they had never existed.

"Now, you can get off me, huh?" Naya said with a smile, her tone as flirtatious and cute as ever.

Anjie paused for a moment, then did not respond.

In fact, that bold move just now had drained the last bit of strength from my body.

She felt completely limp and couldn't move at all.

Seemingly noticing Ange's embarrassment, Naya reached out and cupped Ange's cheeks, gently rubbing them. "What a lovely child. Well, you had a lot of fun playing the game. See you next time, and I hope you can bring me even more surprises..."

As Nyarlathotep's voice rang out, her body gradually became ethereal, and when the last syllable faded, Nyarlathotep had vanished.

When she could no longer sense Nyarlathotep's presence, Ange let out a long breath and collapsed backward to the ground with a thud.

Anjie: System...

[What? Want to share your thoughts on your lewd behavior just now?]

Anjie: ...Thank you.

Although the system always likes to criticize itself, it always provides crucial help in times of crisis.

For example, when it sees "big eyeballs," the system can mock itself verbally instead of deliberately placing the screen displaying the text horizontally in its line of sight.

For example, when I was looking directly at Naya just now, it was the system that popped up a screen at the moment of the joint, giving me a moment to catch my breath.

Anjie is actually very sensitive and can always react quickly to help that the system cannot detect.

Haha, why are you being so polite with me?!

Anjie: ...

Okay, I shouldn't have been so sentimental.

The first rays of dawn finally rose above the horizon, passing through the sky, the earth, the church bell tower, and the gaps in the leaves, falling on Anjie's eyes.

His light blue eyes narrowed slightly.

Three days... are over.

...

"Huff...huff...who exactly is that heretic, capable of killing so many of the Earth Mother's children? Damn it..."

The cultist, dressed in black robes, ran through the jungle. His already emaciated and weak body was struggling to breathe due to the long escape.

Looking at the sky gradually turning white in the distance, the cultist finally managed an ugly smile.

"Haha, thankfully the summoning circle was activated at the last moment. Damn heretics, look directly at the body of the Earth Mother Goddess, hahaha... She must have died a horrible death. Hmm, I really hope to see her body collapse and rot. That would be beautiful."

The cultist leaned against a tree, imagining the blonde nun dying in fear, his smile growing increasingly sinister and ugly.

After a long while, he seemed to finally catch his breath and took out a quill pen and some yellowed paper from his pocket.

"The Great Black Goat Cult Master: "

The strange occurrences in the town of Aisa have been investigated. There used to be a seal here, but it was broken a few days ago by a reckless brat, who seems to have released a 'deity'. However, it doesn't seem to affect our cult.

Meanwhile, the quest to summon the Earth Mother has been completed, but some unexpected events have occurred, caused by a heretic. After investigating the town of Aisa for the past few days, I recognized the heretic as a nun from the Church of Light in Aisa.

The power she possesses is extremely strange and powerful, but please rest assured, when I wrote this letter to you, she had probably already become the offspring of the Mother Goddess, haha, everything is recorded in the magic crystal I sent you with this letter.

May the love of the Mother Goddess descend upon you.

After writing the last word, the cultist rolled up the letter and sealed it with sealing wax bearing the image of a black goat.

Immediately afterwards, he drew a magic circle on the wet ground with a stick and placed the letter and a blue crystal he took out from his pocket on the magic circle.

Just as he was about to channel magic into the magic circle, a sweet voice came from behind him:

"You filthy bug, what are you trying to do to my new toy?"

"Who are you! Ahhh—you dare to harm a follower of the Earth Mother Goddess! The Mother Goddess will not let you get away with this!!!! Ahhhhh—"

...

[Ding—Legendary Quest Phase One: Survive for Three Days]

[Reward Obtained: Weakened Horn of Annihilation (Remaining Uses: 3)]

While it might not be enough to destroy the world with Gabriel's trumpet, it would be more than enough to destroy a small town.

The system notification sounded.

A horn the size of a palm appeared in Anjie's palm.

"Huh? Didn't a cultist escape?" The notification that the mission was completed left Ange somewhat stunned.

She was already prepared for the system to punish her if she failed the task.

But to my surprise, instead of punishment, I received a reward for completing the mission.

【This one? Guess?】

Anjie: ...

Well, judging from the system's tone, it's clear they don't want to tell me.

Anjie stopped paying attention to that and instead focused on the reward given by the system, namely the horn in her hand.

The horn looked quite ordinary, even a bit old, like an outdated children's toy.

However, judging from the system's description, this thing's power should not be underestimated.

And this thing deals area-of-effect damage!

"This is great. It's like carrying around a giant Ivan. If you don't like someone, you can just throw one at their head." Ange's mood instantly improved a lot.

At the very least, this clarion call is much better than the previous "persuasion through reason".

After resting for a while, Anjie slowly got up.

Now that the mission is complete, it's time to go home.

Neither "Persuading with Reason" nor the Horn of Doom is convenient to carry. Fortunately, the system has a space backpack, which can only store system reward items, but at least it can save a lot of trouble.

"Yay! Time to go home!"

...

The pitch-black church

Strange and distorted statues of gods were suspended from the church's dome, while the faint light from candles on the walls served as the only source of light in the church.

"Master, news has arrived from the town of Aisar, but..."
