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

"...Wait, something's not right! The Holy Maiden is charging in with a Bible in her hand!!!"

Chapter 12, Section 115: What about my big, well-behaved little girl?

The soldiers were surprised when they saw Anjie charging forward with a machine gun.

When they saw Ange swing the Bible and send a snow beast flying, their feelings were complicated.

They were stunned when they watched as the delicate and frail Holy Maiden tore apart a snow beast with her bare hands.

The scene before them was so shocking that it exceeded the limits of their brains. After recovering from the crash, they were once again brought to a standstill by Ange's new operation.

Ange gripped the claws of a mutated snow beast in one hand, then leaped into the horde of snow beasts, swinging two of them around like a windmill.

With a few loud bangs, a momentary vacuum appeared around Anjie.

Then she twisted the two snow beasts together with her bare hands and slammed them into the herd like bowling balls, making a deafening sound, followed by the snow beasts' screams of agony.

Although Ange's size is like that of an ant compared to a mutated snow beast.

However, the power that erupted from her petite body completely transformed her into a humanoid Gundam. Wherever she passed, nothing grew. In the end, Ange didn't even have a drop of blood on her body, but dozens of mutated snow beasts fell around her.

While Ange was galloping across the battlefield, a woman in a white dress quietly walked onto the city wall. Her delicate figure and watery eyes made her look like a sickly but beautiful young girl.

"Miss, this is a battlefield, please get off here!" A soldier spotted Caster in time and rushed forward to try to dissuade her.

Kastal smiled slightly. "I'm here to find the Holy Maiden of Light... Is she... here?"

The soldier blushed, captivated by Kastal's smile, and stammered, "Yes, yes. The Holy Maiden is fighting on the front lines, and the one among the beasts is the Holy Maiden."

"The front line? A horde of beasts?"

Kasdar was startled and looked in the direction the soldier was pointing. He saw Angele tear off the head of a snow beast with her bare hands. Blood sprayed into the sky and onto the white snow, staining the fur of every snow beast around her. But her skirt remained spotless as always.

Casdale: "..."

This is my daughter!?

Where is my big, well-behaved, gentle, and adorable little girl?!

Casdale fell into deep thought, beginning to examine herself. Was it because her child lacked maternal love from a young age that he had become psychologically abnormal...?

As she blamed herself, Ange's battle finally came to an end.

She casually tossed a snow beast dozens of meters into the air, then kicked it away before gracefully landing, her skirt draped over her hem.

The snow beast's corpse had piled up behind her to the height of several stories, like a small hill.

"Do you want to continue?"

Ange looked at the group of snow beasts with a smile, holding the heavy chains binding the Bible in her hands.

The mountain-like pile of snow beast corpses instilled fear in the other snow beasts, who instinctively began to retreat.

The moment the snow beasts retreated, thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the high walls of the fortress.

They witnessed firsthand how the Holy Maiden saved the fortress and the lives of thousands.

Seeing the snow beasts showing signs of weakness, Anjie, though outwardly calm, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even she was somewhat exhausted after such a fierce battle. Although her strength was enough to overwhelm these mutated snow beasts, she was still outnumbered. If there were more snow beasts, even she would not be able to hold on.

However, her initial passion finally subsided, and she regained her rationality.

Only then did she realize that the soldiers had witnessed her violent outburst!

If this gets out, the Holy Maiden of the Church of Light will be a ruthless, psychopathic killer. Damaging the Church of Light's reputation is a minor matter, but damaging one's own reputation would be a huge problem!

As Anjie began to consider whether or not to kill him to silence him, the soldiers behind her shouted Anjie's name in unison.

"The Holy Maiden is too powerful!"

"I will always love the Holy Maiden!"

"Where are the priests of the Church of Light? I want to join the Church of Light!"

"If joining the Church of Light means being trampled on by the Holy Maiden?! Then I want to join too!"

"What? Joining the church will get me insulted by the Holy Maiden? Is that even possible? I declare that I no longer believe in the Goddess of Nature, and I will join the Church of Light!"

Anjie: "..."

It seems these soldiers' brains have been damaged by years of wind and snow...

What a bunch of lunatics!

As Castel gazed at the bizarre spectacle on the city walls, his expression gradually turned strange.

I never expected that after so long, the scene I would see when I met Anjie again would be like this.

However, she paused slightly when her gaze fell upon a petite figure, "Cthulhu?"

...

Cthulhu looked at the humans with disgust; in her eyes, her followers seemed more normal than these humans.

She vaguely heard someone calling her name. Confused as to who could call her by her given name, she looked toward the source of the sound.

Until the blonde woman in the white dress came into her sight.

Cthulhu: "Why am I suddenly seeing that crazy woman, Castoria... No, no, I must be seeing things. Let me look again..."

Casdale: (。???)ノHi~

Cthulhu: "...Maybe I'm looking at it wrong. Hmm, let me look at it again!"

Castle: (ノ>ω<)ノ

Cthulhu: "Damn it!"

Just as Kassler was about to go up and say hello, he saw the little girl turn around and run away, leaping off the city wall.

The priest, who had witnessed Cthulhu jump, looked heartbroken. "You young people, can't you take the normal path? Why do you have to jump off buildings? Have some consideration for this old man's heart!"

No sooner had the priest finished speaking than a woman in a white dress leaped from beside him.

Priest: "..."

"Father! Father, what's wrong with you!? Please don't die, at least wait until you pass the priesthood to me before you die."

"Hey! Why are you coughing up blood!?"

"It seems she really won't survive... Perfect, let's change the Saintess's tombstone at the city gate and paint it with the Father's name, it won't be a waste."

...

Anjie, of course, had no idea what was happening on the city wall.

Noah rushed over as the beast tide receded and hugged Ange tightly, saying, "You did a great job."

Ange broke free from her embrace and poked Noah's nose. "Don't hug me like that! And I didn't say I forgave you."

Noah scratched his head, like a golden retriever who had made a mistake, "Okay... then, I'll wear a dress and come find you when we get back to the capital..."

Chapter 13, Section 116: The Daughter in Mourning

Before Ange and Noah could exchange more than a few words, they saw Cthulhu rushing towards them, then quickly hiding behind them, only peeking out a small head with a wary expression.

Cthulhu's practiced movements drew several glances from Noah.

Following Cthulhu's gaze, Ange saw a woman in a white dress slowly walking towards her.

The woman was beautiful, with gentle eyes and a graceful and intellectual air about her.

The moment Anjie saw the woman, she was stunned. She felt that the woman looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

So Ange gave up thinking and turned to Cthulhu behind her, asking curiously, "What's wrong?"

Cthulhu pointed at the woman, his face full of vigilance, "Your mother."

Anjie: "...No, how could you swear at me?"

Cthulhu glanced at Ange with the look of someone looking at an idiot, and added, "Don't you know that woman? That's your mother, Castile Saint Mississippi."

Upon hearing this, not only Angela, but even Noah was stunned and stared at Casdale in surprise.

Casdale waved cheerfully to Ange, showing no awkwardness whatsoever, "Long time no see, my darling daughter~"

Ange: "...Are you Saintess Castel?"

Kastal: "That's right~ What's wrong? Do you miss your mom? It's okay, your mom's arms are always open for you. Quick, quickly run into my arms and cry your heart out, then say softly like a kitten, 'Mommy, I miss you.'"

Anjie: "So it was you who tricked me!"

Before Kasper could say anything, she saw Angel leap forward and punch her in the face.

"Hiss—well, is it really necessary to express your longing for me in such a passionate way?"

Kastel tilted his head slightly, calmly dodging Ange's attack.

This time, Anjie was shocked.

No one knew her own strength better than her. Although she hadn't used her full strength in that punch, she was certain that at such close range, it was a surprise attack, and even Chief Judge Joan might not have been able to dodge it.

But Castel did it with ease, even appearing quite confident.

While Ange was still in a daze, she suddenly noticed a smile flash in Casdale's eyes. By the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Kastel raised his hand and grabbed Ange's wrist.

Ange tried hard to pull it back, but to her surprise, no matter how hard she tried, Castel didn't budge.

"My darling daughter has been naughty; she needs a little punishment."

With a smile, Kastel pulled the defenseless Ange into his arms and bound her with just one hand, rendering her unable to move.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"'Hello'? You should call her Mom!"

Kastel smiled and pushed Ange down onto his lap.
