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

Emil recognized him at a glance, "Casdale!?"

Upon hearing this exclamation, the others also looked at Casdale in surprise.

Kastal chuckled, her gaze sweeping over the five girls present. When she saw Bi Su, her gaze paused for a moment, but she quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.

"My darling daughter probably hasn't rested well. I'll take her back to her room to rest first. You two can continue chatting~"

After saying that, Kastel held the unconscious Angel in his arms and calmly left the scene.

The group was left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Section 147, Chapter 42: The Second Part of the Original Body's Memories

Kastal gently placed Ange on the bed, then quietly sat down beside her, watching the girl's sleeping face.

"She's quite well-behaved when she's not talking," Kastel smiled slightly, tucking a strand of hair behind Ange's ear.

A cloud of black mist rose from the corner of the room, and a purple figure emerged from it, smiling meaningfully at Castel's retreating back.

Even without turning around, Castel still sensed the figure that suddenly appeared behind him.

However, she remained calm and composed.

"I think so too."

Suddenly, Nyarlathotep's voice came.

Casdale knew that this was a response to her earlier remark, and since it was a compliment to her daughter, she naturally couldn't agree more.

Naya came to the bedside, looking at Ange's sleeping face, her eyes softening little by little. "So, you deliberately lured me out, is there something you want to say?"

Casdale smiled slightly. "Shouldn't I be asking you that question? What exactly have you been doing staying by my daughter's side for so long?"

In fact, the moment Castel saw Ange, he sensed that Ange carried Nyarlathotep's aura.

Kastal knew exactly what Nyarlathotep was, so he began to try to lure Nyarlathotep out.

At first, they dressed Ange in a maid outfit, attempting to use their daughter's charm to lure out Naya, but judging from the result, it was clearly a failure.

She then attempted to use the power of the artifact to sever the connection between Ange and Naya, but failed.

In the end, Castor could only force Nyarlathotep to appear by marrying Angela and Betty.

As for the result...

Kastal looked at Nyarlathotep, who had appeared before him, and gave a meaningful smile. “I didn’t expect you to actually believe that baseless prophecy from back then.”

Nyarlathotep smiled back at her. "Actually, I didn't believe it at first either. Even though it was a prophecy that [He] sent down in an endless dream, I still couldn't believe that I would fall in love with a human. Especially... your daughter."

As she spoke, Nyarlathotep reached out and touched Ange's cheek. "But... now I believe it."

Kastal slapped Nyar's hand away.

The latter didn't seem to care and continued to look at Castells with a smile.

“I’m warning you, you lot should stay away from Ange. You’ll only bring her misfortune and disaster, just like [Her], whose very existence is a form of destruction.” Kastel’s expression changed, and he looked coldly at Nyarlathotep.

However, Kastel was only met with Nyarlathotep's mockery, "If your warnings had any effect, He wouldn't have uttered this prophecy back then. If I'm not mistaken, you've been searching for a way to completely seal Him away all these years, and what's the result? Heh..."

“I haven’t found it yet. Once I do, I will seal you away forever in the other side of the world, so that you can never affect the present world again!” Kastel sneered.

“Hehe, then let’s wait and see.” Nyarlathotep smiled strangely. “Will you find a way to seal [He] first, or will [He] awaken first and descend upon the past world?”

Then, Naya changed the subject again, "By the way, I hope you won't do something so stupid like letting me out again next time. First of all, it won't anger me, and secondly... Ange really hates being restricted in her freedom."

Based on my understanding of her, she should have left after meeting you, but I don't know why she stayed by your side.

Kastal fell silent.

Actually, if you think back to when Ange first saw me, Ange already showed her dissatisfaction with me.

But she still chose to stay by his side, letting him "act up".

What was the reason she told herself back then...?

"I've finally managed to see you, how could I possibly leave you? I miss you so much..."

Kastal felt a slight pang in her heart. Looking at Ange's obedient sleeping face, a hint of apology and heartache flashed in her eyes.

So, you've been missing your mom so much...

Castel recalled the past few years when he had left Angel to be raised by the church when she was still young and could not remember anything.

I am not a good mother.

Although Ange blamed herself, she ultimately chose to forgive herself and stayed by her side, refusing to leave... Even after she had done so many bad things, Ange still stayed by her side...

Why...?

An answer flashed through Casdale's mind, but he dared not admit it.

But Nyarlathotep showed no mercy, tearing apart Castor's self-deception: "Because she loves you, loves the mother who brought her into this world."

"...Stop talking..."

"She's afraid you'll abandon her again like you did when she was little, which is why she won't leave your side for even a moment."

"Stop talking..."

“You haven’t even seen her all these years. You know she was so angry about the marriage arranged for her by the church that she ran away from the capital and came to a small border town to live a poor life. You know, you did the thing she hated most, but she would rather agree to marry Betty than leave.”

"...Please...don't...don't say anymore..."

Kastal's fingernails dug into her flesh, and tears dripped down, landing on Ange's pillow.

But how could Nyarlathotep give up so easily? She remained cold and blunt, revealing the truth that Casdale was unwilling to accept: "Ange is kind and affectionate. Even if it's just unexpected family affection, she cherishes it. You are not a good mother, but Ange is a good daughter. If you ask me... you are not worthy of being Ange's mother at all."

As soon as she finished speaking, Naya's figure disappeared from the room.

Only Castel's sobs remained.

...

Ange had a dream, a dream so vivid that she could even realize she was in a dream.

"No...no, this is a reward from the system after completing the mission. The memories of the original owner of this body, Saintess Ange Saint Mississippi," Ange thought silently.

In my dream, I became a baby.

It seems that because the baby's visual system has not yet fully developed, Anjie could only see large patches of color moving and changing in front of her.

The sounds around her were intermittent, and Anjie tried hard to listen for a long time before she could barely make out a few words.

"...Blessings...Nyarlathotep...May you be blessed..."

"Castau...woman...forever..."

"Asa...sleeps...the world...awakens..."

"Ange...save...reincarnation..."

Chapter 43, Section 148: Homecoming!

"Why did it turn out like this... I saw so many lovely girls, and I'm about to return to the Royal Capital Cathedral. Two happy things overlapped. And these two joys should have brought me even more happiness, and what I should have gained was a dreamlike bliss... But why did it turn out like this..."

Anjie sat in the center of the carriage with a stern face, looking as if she was deep in thought but couldn't figure it out.

Noah, Sophia, Emil, Cthulhu, Ptolemy, and Betty all sat around Ange, and the entire carriage fell into an eerie silence.

After Angela woke up, Hathaway finally agreed to let Angela go back after being persuaded by Pope Jelinek.

When Ange first heard the news, she was very happy because she wouldn't have to run away from the arranged marriage anymore. However, when she learned that one of Hathaway's conditions for letting her come back was to bring Betty back with her, Ange was dumbfounded.

Looking at Ptolemy, Cthulhu, and Betty beside her, Ange felt inexplicably complicated.

Initially, he only wanted to resolve the church issue in the southern capital with Chief Justice Emil, but he never expected to end up bringing back three beautiful girls...

When Ange first realized this, she was quite happy. After all, the three girls were all very beautiful, and even if they were just pretty faces, it would be a sure win.

It wasn't until she boarded the carriage that she saw Noah and Emir's "kind" gazes.

Then, the girls in the carriage remained silent the entire way, falling into a deathly stillness.

Anjie knew that she absolutely could not speak at this moment.

Otherwise, one could discuss with the priest at the northern border fortress about changing the tombstone at the city gate back to one's own name.

Of course, when she learned that she was going to ride in such a carriage, she tried to resist, but was righteously and firmly rejected by Judge Joan.

"You have to bear the consequences of your own actions."

This is what Joan said at the time.

Then she was tied up and thrown back into the carriage.

To Ange's surprise, Castel did not board the carriage to return to the Holy Church in the capital.

Even after he woke up, he never saw her again.

Your mother ran away a long time ago. While you were asleep, she took the sap from the Holy Tree from the Elders and then disappeared.

The system provided Anjie with an answer.

However, Anjie suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute, didn't she drink the poison made from the sap of the sacred tree? Isn't she afraid of dying from the poison if she runs away like this?"

Do you have some misunderstanding about Castel's strength?

"?"

[This old woman, who could seal Cthulhu with her bare hands and traverse the permafrost to steal artifacts, has lived for countless years. Do you really think mere poison could trap her?]

Ah, it wasn't completely ineffective. As far as I know, she had diarrhea for about two hours after drinking the poison.

"..."

While beautiful girls don't poop, it wouldn't be out of place to say "having diarrhea" about Casdale...

Anjie fell silent.

She had actually been worried about the poison for Castor back then, but little did she know that the crazy woman had been lying to her from the very beginning!
