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

Fortunately, Ange was prepared and easily dodged Cthulhu's attack.

Unsurprisingly, the tentacles, having lost their target, lashed out at Cthulhu's own face with a sharp crack.

Seeing this comical scene, Anjie laughed even more brightly.

"You bastards! Saintess of Light! Ange Saint Mississippi! Caster Saint Mississippi! I curse you two bastards, I curse you two bastards!"

Cthulhu roared, but half of his body had already sunk into the muddy swamp of the magic circle.

For Ange, all she needs to do next is wait patiently for the power of the sealing magic circle to take full effect and for Cthulhu to be completely sealed.

At that time, he could swagger into R'lyeh and "inherit" Cthulhu's assets.

However, in Anjie's grand dream, one figure was missing—

Gatanothoya.

call out--

A red tentacle came from behind and unexpectedly lashed out at Anjie's shoulder.

The pain stimulated her nerves, causing Anjie to subconsciously loosen her grip on the pendant.

However, she quickly realized what was happening, endured the pain, and scooped up the pendant, clutching it tightly in her hand.

She glared fiercely at the direction of the tentacles, where Gattanothoa was watching her with a cold smile from afar.

“You wait, you’ll be next!” Anjie retorted without backing down.

However, Gatanottoa did not respond to the girl's provocation. Instead, he looked at her with a meaningful gaze and pointed to her feet after a long while.

As Anjie looked down, she saw several hands made of black mud reaching out towards her.

She tried to get away, but was surprised to find herself seemingly stuck in the quagmire, unable to move an inch.

Upon realizing this, Anjie's expression instantly turned ugly.

Then Cthulhu's voice came: "Heh heh, you wanted to seal me away? Well then, I'll let you taste the pain of being trapped at the bottom of the deep sea!"

Although the pendant was only out of his hand for less than a second, it was not difficult for Cthulhu to construct a forced teleportation magic circle.

And the destination of this forced teleportation array is—

The deep sea, tens of thousands of meters below!

He had already realized that Ange's own power was not strong; she had only ended up in this situation by relying on two strange props and by underestimating her opponent.

Anjie is far from being able to completely eliminate the need for breathing, and it would be difficult for her to withstand the pressure of the deep sea at a depth of tens of thousands of meters on her own.

Anjie was naturally aware of this as well.

But no matter how hard she struggled, she still couldn't move.

As her arms were swallowed by the magic circle, Ange finally realized that she had met her end.

Cthulhu was sealed away by his own contempt, and he will pay the price for underestimating his enemy.

"System, sorry. You probably won't be able to see the black stockings you were promised."

【…】

As expected, the system remained silent.

Ange smiled self-deprecatingly to herself.

The system may have long been fed up with its troublesome host.

They all gave themselves preferential treatment and pulled strings behind the scenes, yet they still couldn't defeat their opponents.

The surrounding view was gradually obscured by the black mud.

Finally, with a regretful sigh, everything returned to darkness.

The cool moonlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the calm, black muddy land, where the stone castle stood alone.

Gatanothoa's figure had already disappeared when Cthulhu was swallowed up by the sealing array.

Next, he needs to embark on another journey to find a way to break the seal.

However, a soft laugh from a young girl suddenly echoed across the land, which should have been deathly silent.

"Although it was a little different from what I imagined, it was still a success."

"Well then, see you later."

"My sweet pet~"

A purple light flashed, and with a deafening roar, the lifeless R'lyeh began to sink, once again swallowed by the sea.

It was as if it had never risen.

...

Four days later, the Royal Capital Church

"Anjie...is missing!?"

"...I'm sorry, I didn't keep a close eye on her...I didn't keep a close eye on her..."

Joan quickly stepped forward and hugged the tearful Emil, stroking his head and gently comforting him, "Don't worry, don't worry. The perception magic I left on Angel hasn't broken yet, she'll definitely be alright now."

Before Emil could say anything, the Pope slammed his hand on his chair.

The loud bang made everyone present instinctively tremble.

Pope Jeremy took several deep breaths to calm her anger.

"Since the Holy Maiden is unharmed, continue the search! Emil, Gaya, and Joan, all three of you are to go. You are authorized to use any means necessary to bring the Holy Maiden back. Even if you have to break her arms and legs, bring her back to me!"

"...Your Holiness, is this...?"

"I said, go find it!"

"...yes."

"As for the Ocean Church... heh... do you really think my Church of Light is easy to bully? In that case... go and inform all the popes of all the churches to hold a 'prayer meeting' at the Holy Church in the capital in three days."

Chapter 104, Section 1: Acquiring a Little Loli*1

Uh...

It feels so bad... I can't breathe...

what happened...

"Ah—"

Anjie suddenly opened her eyes, and the dazzling sunlight pierced her pupils, but this level of stinging did not make Anjie squint.

She immediately felt the tightness around her neck, and the pain of suffocation filled her mind.

Without time to think about what had happened, I subconsciously pushed the mortgage forward with all my might.

With a thud as something heavy hit the ground, the feeling of constriction around my neck finally disappeared.

The fresh air rushed into his chest cavity at once, causing a violent cough.

"Cough cough... What on earth happened? Where am I?"

Anjie noticed that the surrounding scenery was somewhat unfamiliar.

The simple wooden bed, the dry, cold air, the glaring sunlight—everything before my eyes points to one fact:

This is not the deep sea!

"Tsk, why are you awake at this hour?" A soft, sweet voice came from beside me.

Anjie turned her head and saw a little girl in a black halter dress standing by the bed, glaring at her resentfully while gently rubbing her bottom.

The little girl has long, light blue hair and eyes, and the skin on her shoulders is as white and delicate as milk.

Normally, if Anjie saw such a little girl, she would definitely think about how to take her home and raise her.

But Anjie quickly realized that the feeling of tightness around her neck was caused by this little girl, who clearly wanted to strangle her.

But after carefully sensing the other person's aura, her expression became somewhat strange.

"What are you looking at!" The little girl put her hands on her hips and glared at Anjie with displeasure.

Ange paused for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Cthulhu?"

"What else?!" The little girl still looked annoyed.

Ange: "...How did you become like this?"

"What do you mean I've become like this? This is my human form."

"...No, you're not... a man, um, male?"

"Who told you I'm a man?" Cthulhu retorted, grimacing.

"But...didn't Gatanothoia call you father?"

"Who says girls can't be called 'Dad'?"

"..."

Anjie was stunned.

That makes so much sense, I don't even know how to refute it.

But Ange quickly came to her senses and carefully examined Cthulhu.

Cthulhu instinctively took a step back, covering his chest with his hands, and snapped at him with disgust, "What do you want to do?"

"You...you were trying to kill me just now, weren't you?" Ange's expression suddenly changed, and in the blink of an eye, she jumped up from the bed, grabbed Cthulhu's clothes, and threw her back onto the bed.

Cthulhu felt a sudden dizziness, and the next second his vision was filled with Ange's face.

"Let go! Don't you believe I'll tear you to pieces?" Cthulhu said angrily, struggling to break free from Ange's grasp.
