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

Just then, the system delivered the finishing blow: [A friendly reminder: your time is running out.]

"...Damn it, let's do it! Take it off!"

Without further ado, Ange took off her white lace-trimmed panties and, blushing, pinched the two corners of the panties.

With a determined heart, he pulled hard with both hands!

Chapter 34, Section 275: The Descent of the World

As Ange expected, her all-out tearing effort failed to shred her panties. The power enough to leave fist imprints on the walls of a divine kingdom couldn't even tear a pair of panties.

This result is enough to confirm Ange's conjecture—

The divine power bestowed by the law of balance is an absolute 50/50 split!

Now that we know our abilities, we are one step closer to opening the passage to the lower realm.

After several more attempts with the divine power, Ange was able to control it with ease.

Although Ange has only recently become a god and possesses divine power, gods are beings born through the fusion of laws, so for Ange, using divine power is as instinctive as moving her own arm.

Furthermore, Ange was bound to the "System," the embodiment of the law, a long time ago, so Ange's adaptability to the law of balance is also very strong at the soul level.

"Using the power of balance, connect the divine realm and the human realm in a small area, forming a passage to the human realm."

Anjie focused intently on controlling the divine power.

A passageway shimmering with light slowly unfolded before Anjie.

Through the passage, a desolate and dilapidated plain came into Anjie's view.

With just one glance, Anjie realized that this passage led to Lengyuan.

While relieved that the portal hadn't opened in some strange place, Ange also sensed an eerie aura emanating from the cold plains.

From her perspective, the entire cold plain was being patched up with gray-black cracks, and gray-black energy was constantly gushing out from the cracks, further widening the cracks in the cold plain world.

However, at the same time, another force was suppressing Leng Yuan's collapse and restraining the rampage of the black aura.

Congratulations! You have successfully learned to use the power of the gods!

This means you've left the beginner's area.

[So, brave (whispering: flat-chested) and fearless savior goddess (whispering: scumbag woman)! Begin to face your first enemy after leaving the starting village—Azathoth!]

"..."

Anjie paused for a moment.

She felt she needed to tell the system that she could actually hear its whispered words.

But then I thought, even if I pointed it out, the other person would shamelessly admit it, and might not even bother acting next time...

Therefore, Anjie decisively chose to ignore the system.

Then step into the portal.

The surrounding scenery changed abruptly.

After Anjie walked out of the passage, the passage connecting the divine kingdom and the cold plain quietly closed.

The moment Ange entered the Cold Plains, her attention was drawn to the three-colored sealing array in the sky, not only because of its powerful force, but also because she sensed Naya's presence on it.

After sensing the direction of the magic circle, Ange also found the auras of Castel and Aurora.

Just as she was about to meet up with Casdale and the others, the system's voice came again:

[It's here]

"Huh? What's coming?" Just as Anjie was bewildered, a series of indescribable whispers swept across the entire cold plain.

The three-colored sealing array that was originally imprinted in the sky collapsed with a roar, and the sky, which was already on the verge of collapse, also collapsed.

Fragments of the sky broke through the clouds and fell to the earth. When the last piece of sky was peeled away, the entire scene beyond the sky was finally revealed—

Darkness, writhing darkness.

Black, mushy substances, resembling rotten flesh, writhed in the sky. Thousands upon thousands of black liquids, like waterfalls, dripped from the darkness onto the earth, while thick tentacles emerged from the darkness and gently caressed the land.

Wherever these black substances passed, the space visibly began to distort, and under this terrifying distorting force, even space itself began to crumble little by little.

"You lowly creatures, are you ready to face my wrath?"

The distorted roar echoed throughout every corner of the cold source.

The next second, Ange was horrified to discover that countless pairs of dark golden eyes had opened in the darkness that had replaced the entire sky, eyes that radiated a despairing madness.

Under the watchful eyes of those countless people, even the most steadfast and fanatical believers would crumble, their convictions and reason collapsing.

What terrified Anjie most was not the countless eyes that filled the entire sky, but the meaning these eyes represented—

Azathoth's size was so enormous it was despair-inducing!

It turns out that the entire sky over the Cold Plains is Azathoth's true form!

As the creator of mythical creatures, His madness and twisted nature, unique to mythical creatures, are fully displayed in Him.

If it weren't for the system's recognition within the origin of the world, Ange would never have believed that such a monster was actually a being of this world.

Or rather, such a twisted creature should not exist in the world at all.

If Lena's Angel of Death is called a divine abomination because of its bizarre and powerful abilities, then when it comes to facing Azathoth's true form, the Angel of Death is simply like a toy in a game of make-believe!

This is the real global catastrophe!

Even though Ange now possesses the power of a god, she still felt a sense of powerlessness after witnessing Azathoth's true form.

Just then, Azathoth in the sky saw Angelus.

In an instant, hundreds of millions of eyes were fixed on Anjie.

Ange took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and stared coldly at Azathoth.

The moment she focused her attention on Azathoth, a powerful energy surged and erupted within Ange, golden magic swirled around her, and pairs of golden wings unfurled behind her.

A pair...

Two pairs...

Three pairs...

Finally, all the wings suddenly disappeared, transforming into a golden crown that hung above Ange's head, while her white dress billowed with the raging power of holy light.

The light, both amused and exasperated, coalesced in Anjie's palm.

However, this time, thanks to the blessing of divine power, the Light's Laughter and Tears appeared several hundred meters long as soon as it materialized, looking from afar like Ange was carrying a glowing pillar.

Although it looks somewhat comical, the terrifying power emanating from it makes it impossible for people to truly underestimate the power of the Light's Laughter and Tears.

A golden magical storm swept outwards from Ange's center, instantly covering the entire land.

If someone were watching from a distance, they would see that the entire Cold Plains was now divided into two parts: the upper part was filled with madness and eeriness, and the lower part was filled with divine light tides.

Ange knew very well that she absolutely could not let Azathoth leave the Cold Plains.

Putting aside Azathoth's terrifying power, his enormous and despair-inducing size alone would be a catastrophic disaster if he were to descend upon the mortal world!

Section 276, Chapter 35: God in the world, the world in God

What is it like to face a natural disaster that could destroy the world?

Anjie can now give a perfect answer—it's as if she's fighting against the malice of the entire world!

Enveloped in the tide of holy light, Ange could feel an irresistible malice rushing into her consciousness with just a glance at the dark sky, frantically destroying her normal cognition, as if trying to drag her into the abyss of despair and turn her into a fallen god.

The power of the gods originates from the world. As long as there is even a trace of the origin of this world, the power of the gods should be inexhaustible and endless.

But when confronting Azathoth, Ange discovered that she seemed to have hit the ceiling of the god's power.

The laws I control are absolutely balanced...

This means that Azathoth's power has reached the pinnacle of godhood!

However, the only thing Ange could be thankful for was that Azathoth was still a living being in this world.

As long as one remains a living being in this world, one will be subject to the suppression of the laws of this world.

Azathoth's power was immense, but that was all he could achieve.

Ange took a deep breath, and the power of light burst forth from her eyes.

“Azathoth, you should continue to sleep.”

"..."

Faced with Ange's provocative words, Azathoth remained silent for a moment, not continuing the conversation about Ange, but instead asking another question:

"My child, why...why are you stopping me?"

"Pah! Who's your child! Can you stop trying to claim kinship with me like that!" Anjie scoffed. "Look at yourself! You're ugly as hell. How could you possibly have given birth to such a beautiful, charming, virtuous, lovely, intelligent, kind, and quiet girl like me!"

Even though Ange became a god, her shameless personality remained unchanged.

Moreover, if this were said to someone who doesn't know Ange's true personality, they would definitely believe it.

After all, the image of the Holy Maiden of Light as kind and radiant is deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

Azathoth is clearly not in the category of "ordinary people," or even human, so naturally He would not do something like criticizing Ange's self-praise.

“I can sense that you have acquired the authority of a god in this world, and therefore you can also sense that my bloodline flows within you. Whether you acknowledge it or not, you are my child, and that is an undeniable fact.” Azathoth’s tone remained as flat as before. “Unless you are willing to strip my bloodline from your body. However, you certainly will not do so.”

Anjie pouted, "Who said I can't? You're so confident?"
