I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"So... should I go or should Tina go?"

"Let me do it, brave man."

While summoning a red lightning ball from her fingertips, Istina said softly.

"Okay, then let's watch Tina's performance~"

Quietly dispersing the destructive magic from her fingertips, Eve gave Istina a thumbs up and said with a smile.

"Yeah! No problem!"

With a confident smile, the next moment countless red lightnings exploded in all directions with Istina as the center, heavily bombarding the inner wall of the tiankeng, weaving a huge lightning net bit by bit. Countless red lightnings leaped like elves, beautiful yet extremely dangerous.

As the lightning net became denser and larger, everything in the entire underground space except Eve and Istina was turned into nothingness under the power of annihilation, leaving no trace at all. The power of the God of Destruction was evident.

What's even more outrageous is that Istina is still some distance away from full recovery.

Even the God of Creation, who is not good at fighting, can severely damage the Demon God in a fight to the death, not to mention the God of Destruction, whose main job is combat.

It’s just that the current situation is different from that of a thousand years ago, so we can’t generalize.

When the Demon God invaded, He was considered an illegal immigrant due to His identity as an invader, and was suppressed and weakened by the world. But now, a thousand years later, I am afraid that the Demon God has found ways to reduce or even completely overcome this weakening. In even worse cases, the Demon God may even have stolen some of the authority that originally belonged to the Creator God.

In short, the experience of creating God thousands of years ago can only be used as a reference. If you copy it completely when you really face the devil, you will probably fail miserably.

Looking at Istina's current performance, Eve also began to compare it with her own firepower.

"Hmm... I feel like things will be a lot easier now."

Seeing how relaxed Istina was while manipulating an attack of this magnitude, Eve muttered softly.

Before the block is lifted and the line is crossed, even if she were to take over, she probably wouldn't be able to do better, and this is far from Tina's limit.

Well... okay, I’ve made up my mind. I’ll continue to work hard!

Well, it's called trying hard, but in fact it's just trying to find a way to continue to release the suppression sealed on my body, or to use my strength as much as possible without destroying the world.

When returning to the past, Eve once launched a Constant Night Collapse. At that time, she noticed that her power after being unleashed seemed to have some extremely strong destructive effect on the barrier between the world and the virtual space.

To put it simply, one of her attacks might create a huge hole inside the world that goes straight to the void, just like a dimensional rift.

After that, it all depends on their luck whether there will be invaders like void beasts or even demons who will come to them like bloodthirsty sharks smelling the blood.

At least Eve herself declined.

One demon god is enough to give them a headache, what if it is doubled, or even super doubled?

Therefore, Eve did not dare to continue to unlock the barrier until she was sure that she would not destroy the world barrier due to carelessness or accidents.

The limit of power she dared to use in this world right now was the collapse of Tokoyami when she returned to the past.

§66 Actions of the Parties

boom--

Accompanied by a deafening thunder coming from the bottom of the Nine Netherworld, the red thunder that filled the deep pit exploded, turning everything into nothingness.

The rocks in the pit that had some signs of erosion were all destroyed by this blow, and the rumbling thunder continued to echo underground for a long time.

"hiss--"

Covering her ears that were half deafened by the shock, Eve's pretty face was full of confusion.

Wasn't she here to watch and shout "666"? How did she accidentally get a friendly fire?

In front of her, Istina looked apologetic and seemed a little at a loss.

"Ah, um... Sorry, brave man, I forgot about the sound."

Although Istina remembered to include Eve in the whitelist of the power of annihilation, she and Eve accidentally forgot one thing, that is, the secondary attack of sound will not care about you so much, it is a pure AOE that does not distinguish between friend and foe.

Normally, this thunder wouldn't be a problem, as it would simply dissipate in open areas. But the key point was that they were currently underground, a place that concentrated sound extremely well...

Istina was fine. She was already casting magic, and she was concentrating so much that she cast defensive magic on herself the moment she noticed something was wrong.

But on the other side, Eve, who was a little absent-minded and thinking about something, was in big trouble. She took the blow head-on, which was loud enough to make an ordinary person deaf. Even now, her head is still buzzing, as if she was hit by a club.

"Okay... okay, I'm fine..."

After patting her ears for a while, Eve waved to Istina, indicating that she was fine.

"Sorry, brave hero, I forgot about the thunder..."

"It's okay, it's okay. I forgot about it too. It's just a small problem."

Eve looked around the much cleaner underground space and changed the subject.

"Let's move on to other places. There's a lot of cleanup to do."

"Ok!"

As they spoke, a ray of light flashed across the ground, and Eve and the other person disappeared, heading to the next location.

On the other side, the Goddess of Light was also in "friendly" communication with Pope Elliot.

"…Goddess, what did you just say?"

Listening to the order of the Goddess of Light, Elliot was confused for a while before asking this time.

"Hmph, don't you understand my command? I want all the people to gather here."

"But...but in this case, the Holy City cannot afford so many people. And getting them out quickly is also a problem. And..."

Before Elliot could finish his words, the Goddess of Light interrupted him unhappily.

"That's something you need to consider. I told you to gather all the people here as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to continue protecting you."

"Next...is there any danger next? Are those black monsters going to appear again?"

Hearing the implication of impending danger in the voice of the Goddess of Light, Elliot hurriedly asked.

The Holy Kingdom has only been peaceful for a few days and cannot withstand another turmoil.

Not long ago, the black monsters surrounded outside the light curtain suddenly disappeared without a trace one day, as if a mysterious strong man had gone to sweep them away.

As a result, not long after the monster siege ended, another accident happened. The light curtain suddenly dimmed that day, and Elliot spent a lot of time to calm people's hearts.

It was not until a while later that the light curtain returned to its previous brightness and the restless believers underneath finally relaxed.

Now, no matter which of the above things happens again, Elliot will be in trouble.

As the saying goes, things never happen more than three times. He could appease the believers once or twice, but if it happens too many times, no one knows what will happen.

"About the same. Maybe a little more dangerous than the previous two times."

"!!!"

"You...you are...joking...is there a more terrible disaster about to happen?"

Listening to the lighthearted words of the Goddess of Light, the Pope felt that his heart could not bear it any longer.

Putting aside the fact that the second disaster did not cause any actual damage, the first disaster almost wiped out the human race.

All the churches in other countries were wiped out on the day the disaster struck. Even the Holy Kingdom itself would have been in danger if it had not activated the Divine Descent Ritual in time. Even so, part of the border area of ​​the Holy Kingdom fell.

As a result, they are about to face an even more terrifying disaster?

Even if it was just a joke, it was too bad.

But unfortunately, the Goddess of Light was not joking.

"Huh, is this God joking?"

With a cold snort, the Goddess of Light asked with an unhappy look.

"..."

Well, this is a question that doesn't need an answer. After all, it doesn't look like it at all.

Or rather, Elliot couldn't imagine what the Goddess of Light looked like when she was joking.

"Then...then do you know what the disaster is? How long do we have?"

At this moment, Elliot had completely lost his usual composure. His gray beard was trembling as he asked the Goddess of Light somewhat helplessly.

"I don't know when it will happen, but what we're about to face is a world-class crisis. If we're not careful, the whole world will be destroyed."

"World-class?!"

Hearing the words of the Goddess of Light, Elliot's voice rose several notches, and he looked as if he couldn't believe his ears at all.

What had he just heard? A world-class crisis? It seemed too far-fetched for the human race, trapped in a corner of the continent.

Not to mention facing a world-class crisis, they couldn't even break through the blood clan's blockade and go out into the world.

Compared to this, the previous crisis that nearly wiped out the human race really doesn't seem like a big deal.

If someone told Elliot at this moment that he was dreaming and could wake up by slapping himself hard, he would probably do it without hesitation.

Or what if a few people suddenly show up holding signs saying "Prank Success"?

But unfortunately, everything that is happening now is a reality that cannot be more real.

"That's right, so immediately carry out this god's order and gather everyone here."

Looking at the out-of-control Elliot, the Goddess of Light frowned slightly and repeated her previous order again.

But Elliot asked again.

"But...but do you have any evidence?!"

Elliot, who was almost mentally devastated by the tragic news, asked in a rather rude and forceful manner.

"What I said is evidence, why don't you go and execute it!"

After saying this, the Goddess of Light no longer paid any attention to the distraught Elliot and turned and left.

§67 The Church and the Azure Sky

"Now, what should I do..."

It was a long time after the Goddess of Light left that Pope Elliot finally came back to his senses. He looked at the empty room in front of him and muttered to himself in a daze.

It is definitely necessary to gather the people near the Holy City, but the key is that the Holy City is completely incapable of supporting the entire surviving population of the Holy Kingdom.

Even if people were piled together, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to accommodate them.

And what reason to use to gather people is also a big problem. It is impossible to say it directly. If that is the case, the country of the Holy Religion will probably be in chaos before the disaster even comes.

After all, it is not just talk that people's hearts are unpredictable in the face of disaster. When people know that they will die in the near future, anything they do is possible.

God knows how many people will hold this in their hearts. Anyway, they are going to die soon, so they might as well enjoy the present moment first and not worry about what will happen next.

Haven’t you seen that some people even run out to take revenge on society after being diagnosed with a terminal illness?

What's more, although believers make up the majority of the population in the Holy Kingdom, there are not only believers here. Merchants, adventurers, and travelers from other countries also account for a certain proportion. If there is no good reason, these outsiders will not obediently obey the orders of the Pope.

Although Elliot had explained the current situation of the outside world to some representatives in the group, it is well known that people are different, and sometimes the difference in brain circuits between people may even be greater than that between humans and dogs.

Although most of those people believed, or at least acquiesced to Elliot's explanation, there were some stubborn outsiders who said that they would only believe Elliot's words after they saw the situation of their homes with their own eyes, and this was also the result of the semi-acquiescence of the others.

That group of people even asked Elliot to open the light curtain and let them leave after the threat of the monster tide was lifted. I don't know what they were thinking.

Even if we only consider the geographical location of the Holy Kingdom and the scale of the monster tide, we can guess that the situation in the outside world is definitely not good, right?

But the group insisted that seeing is believing, which made Elliot very annoyed.

Some might say, "Why not just let them go?" Elliot thought so too, as it wouldn't be his business if they died. But the problem was, he couldn't do it.

Well, this is the problem, because Elliot himself has no way to fulfill their request. After all, the control of the light curtain is not in his hands, but in the hands of the Goddess of Light.

Elliot certainly didn't have the leisure to bother the Goddess of Light, a deity he worshipped like an ancestor, over such a trivial matter.

So after several unsuccessful negotiations, the two sides finally ended up parting ways on bad terms.

When the two sides parted ways, the group of people verbally asked about the health and safety of Elliot's immediate family members, while Elliot asked back the same questions in his heart.

The recent pile of troubles has already been enough to give the Pope a headache, and now you dare to confront him? Do you really think he, the Pope, has no temper?
