This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Chapter 382 [The Contaminated Incarnation of the Kingdom of God]

"Why is it you?" Ye Yiyi's eyes widened, and she was suddenly dumbfounded.

The spirit that emerged from the vortex was wearing a golden plate armor of elegant style and appearance, with a dark red sleeveless coat on the outside. A scabbard inlaid with gems and gold was slung around his waist, and a long dark red cloak behind him reached his ankles and moved without wind.

Ye Yiyi dared to guarantee that he had never seen this flashy armor design before, otherwise he would definitely be impressed and would want to get a set of the same style for his collection.

But the spirit was not wearing a helmet, so the refreshing golden short hair, the delicate and cold beautiful face, and the ice-blue eyes that would never be forgotten once seen, appeared before him without any obstruction.

"it's me……"

Hearing Ye Yiyi's exclamation, Astralia stopped looking at the surroundings and looked over with those clear ice-blue eyes.

He then placed his left hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and performed a special etiquette to him.

"Hello again, my lord."

[Spiritual helper summoned, Doom Deception "Asteria"]

"you……"

Glancing at the prompt that popped up on the simplified light screen, Ye Yiyi reacted and pointed at the other party, his expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"...Why are you here?"

"Of course, I'm here to help you defeat Day Moon."

Astraea answered calmly, her eyes slightly lowered, and there was no expression on her delicate face.

"I haven't asked for your name yet. Could you tell me?"

"..."

Seeing the other party asking for his name as a matter of course and not feeling embarrassed at all, Ye Yiren suddenly felt a little confused.

No way? Sister?

I am your mortal enemy, right?

Don't forget that you died twice in my hands!

How do you manage to be so calm and help your enemies???

Ye Yiyi stared at the silent female knight with her eyes downcast for a long time. The other party also stood there like a piece of wood, as if she wanted to go against him, and also said nothing.

The little fish nestling behind the two of them couldn't help but raise its tentacles in confusion and poke Ye Yiyi's back with its tips.

"Puchi?"

So why don't you speak anymore?

I want to speak, but my mind is so confused that I don't know what to say.

Ye Yiyi rolled her eyes, let out a long breath, and finally answered.

"...Oscar, just call me Oscar."

"Lord Oscar."

Astraea nodded slightly, raised her ice-blue eyes to look at him, put her hand on her chest again, and bowed.

"Glorious Knight of Evil—Asteria, I have answered the call and come to greet you."

"Glorious Knight of Evil?"

Ye Yiyi stared at the other person, "Aren't you a knight of the gods?"

"?"

Astraea frowned in confusion upon hearing this.

"Lord Oscar, have you misunderstood something? I am not a knight of the gods, but a knight serving the Radiant Virgin."

"???"

Ye Yiyi was a little confused.

That seems to be the case. He never mentioned being a Divine Knight...

The first time he learned about the identity of the Divine Knight was when the old hunter Eurost told him when he repelled the other party's invasion for the first time.

"But what about the masked helmet that symbolizes the knight of God, and the hymn with fire on the sword?" Ye Yiyi was still a little uncertain.

"Ah, that's it..."

The ice-blue eyes moved slightly, and Astraea seemed to understand something and shook her head.

"That was just my disguise as an intruder. After all, this involves the Supreme God, and I have to avoid exposing my true identity."

Are you sure it's a disguise?

Ye Yiyi pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes and looked directly at the other person.

She said she was not a Divine Knight, but she had the Divine Knight's armor and hymns as a disguise.

And judging from the item description of the Hidden Glorious Greatsword, the Divine Knight is definitely related to the Glorious Our Lady of Destiny!

But what this guy said was indeed the truth, he didn't lie.

Ye Yiyi was a little confused. She didn't know whether she really didn't know or was being kept in the dark and didn't know the real reason.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to test the waters with words from other perspectives.

"Let's not worry about the identity issue for now. What I'm confused about is that when you invaded earlier, you looked like you were going to kill me, so why are you here to help me now?"

"Like I said last time, it was just an exhortation." Astralia looked away slightly and did not look at him.

“…but the way to persuade is death.”

"die……"

The corners of Ye Yiyi's mouth twitched, and he thought that this female knight was quite gentle.

At least according to what she said last time, compared to divine pollution, the result of death is indeed quite gentle.

"What did the Duchy of Nari say about that incident?" Ye Yiyi raised an eyebrow and asked again, "Was that also advice?"

If Astraea invaded to prevent anyone from touching the remains of the Supreme God, then why didn't the other party invade the Holy Blood Archbishop, who was the first person to touch the sacred blood?

Hearing this, the female knight's eyes dimmed slightly.

"It was advice, but just like my advice to you, I was still very weak in front of that saint and was powerless to prevent death."

"Ah this..."

Ye Yiyi couldn't help scratching his head, thinking that this female knight would dare to invade no matter who it was. She was not only honest, but also very brave.

But the Archbishop of Holy Blood is not a simple person, and it is normal for him to die suddenly after his persuasion fails.

Then he saw Astraea sighing softly:

"But as I expected, even saints greedily indulge in the power of gods and become deeply trapped in it...

"So I quietly stole the saint's key and made a copy. If I encounter someone who comes to seize the Supreme God's Blood next time and accepts my advice, I will be able to obtain the key."

Having said that, Astralia looked up at Ye Yiyi.

"That is, Mr. Oscar..."

Ye Yiyi pursed her lips and thought about it, then nodded to accept the other party's statement, but then asked again.

"Then what is your purpose in helping me now?"

"Defeat the guardian and help you retrieve the Supreme God's Remains."

"What are you going to do with it?"

"This is the instruction of the Virgin Mary. I don't know the detailed reason."

"Holy Mother?" Ye Yiyi was slightly stunned when she heard this. "You mean the Brilliant Holy Mother of Misfortune? Did she give you direct instructions?"

"Yes."

"What about the Saint Du'e?"

"The Saint of the Du'e Sect?" Astralia was suddenly stunned. "What is that? The Glorious Du'e Sect doesn't have a Saint, only a Mother."

"Then why...?" Ye Yiyi was confused again.

The fact that she can directly contact the Virgin Mary means that she is a core figure of the sect, but how could she not know about the Saint Du'e and her relationship with the Divine Knight?

"What about the Great Sacrifice? Is there one?" he asked again.

"Great God Festival?" The female knight was even more confused.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything..." Ye Yiyi almost understood.

Probably just like the Glorious Our Lady of Misfortunes also has another name called the Hidden Our Lady of Misfortunes, its sect is also divided into light and dark sides.

It’s just that the female knight in front of me is out in the open and knows nothing.

As if seeing Ye Yiyi was very disappointed, Astralia lowered her eyes and said softly:

"There is one more thing... Mr. Oscar, the Virgin Mary actually knows of your existence. I came here this time not only to lend you a hand, but the Virgin Mary also asked me to convey to you on her behalf:

"Brave warriors from ten thousand years ago, go and gather the remains of the Supreme Gods. They are essential to eradicating the source of the curse... When the Human God falls, I will await your arrival at the gates of the Heavenly Star, at the center of the eastern border."

After saying this, Astraea raised her ice-blue eyes and looked at Ye Yiyi, who was frowning and thinking deeply.

The Virgin of Deliverance actually knew that he was a name-seeker, and also knew about the existence of the source of the curse?

There seemed to be a huge wave of emotions surging in Ye Yiyi's heart, but he did not show it.

As for collecting the remains of the gods, could that be a side quest related to the ending?

Although there is no ending about any gods in the game, Ye Yiyi still guessed so.

"What else did the Virgin Mary say to you?" After thinking for a moment, he raised his head.

"The Holy Mother also told me that the Supreme God's Remains stored here is one of the sources of divinity stolen by the Divine Knights. It is also one of the sources of power for the Supreme God. As its guardians, the Astral Clan of the Daylight Moon also has the responsibility to prevent the God's Remains from losing control and collapsing.

"Once we kill it, we can use the remaining power of the Daylight Moon to safely take the Supreme God's Remains away."

Astraea pulled out a long sword made of light from the scabbard at her waist, turned her head to look at the misty star cloud gate beside her, and a high fighting spirit appeared in her eyes.

"I am ready to fight to the death, just waiting for your order."

"I understand... the last question is, what exactly are the stellar descendants?" Ye Yiyi roughly figured it out, and looked up at the female knight who was emitting a surge of fighting spirit and seemed to be ready to fight the special forces.

"I don't know," Astraea replied, staring at the wall of fog.

"Huh?" Ye Yiyi couldn't help but stare.

"The existence and responsibilities of the Astral Relics were revealed to me by the Holy Mother. I only know that they are very powerful, and even against a god, they won't necessarily lose..."

Astralia said in a low voice with a hint of guilt in her tone.

"But what kind of existence is it, and how was it born... Sorry, these saints didn't tell me, and I don't know."

"So you don't know anything and are just a messenger?" Ye Yiyi suddenly understood.

You said last time that you would help me solve my doubts when we meet next time, but in the end you just repeated to me what the Virgin Mary told you?

What are you doing, sister?

"Gulu..."

The female knight's expression did not change, but she quietly swallowed her saliva, and her fighting spirit waned.

Those ice-blue eyes were still fixed on the fog wall, but he pretended to be deaf and pretended not to hear Ye Yiyi's complaints.

As if she noticed Ye Yiyi staring at her with a dark face, Astralia's eyes panicked slightly, and she forced herself to persuade him:

"The battle... the battle is not over yet, Lord Oscar. Defeating the powerful enemy before us and retrieving the Supreme Divine Remains are the most important things at this moment."

"..."

Ye Yiyi stared at her suspiciously for a while, feeling the eager desire to fight deep in her heart. Combined with the recklessness displayed by the female knight in the previous duel, he had a rough idea of ​​what kind of person she was.

He looks so cool on the outside, but he's actually so simple on the inside. He's just a battle maniac who wants to enjoy fighting!

You can't judge a person by appearance...

He shook his head and walked towards the wall of fog.

"Let's finish the fight first."

"call……"
