Amelie's golden right eye flashed, extinguishing the incoming flames of life.
Then, the invisible ribbons bound Theresa Scarlet Moon tightly, and the magical concept that all things must die was also applied to Theresa Scarlet Moon, so that her magic power and physical strength would be naturally exhausted.
boom!
As a result, Theresa Scarlet Moon burst into flames. The flames on her body looked very similar to the Flame of Life, but they were no longer the same power.
The invisible ribbon was still bound to Theresa Scarlet Moon, but it could no longer absorb Theresa Scarlet Moon's physical strength and magic power, and the power of the magical concept view had also completely failed.
"This is……"
Amelie frowned slightly.
Unlike her daughters, Theresa Scarlet Moon is no longer an elven mage; she has completely transformed into a priest, and the flame of life is no longer fueled by magic, but by divine power.
Furthermore, the god that Theresa Scarlet Moon worships possesses the power of rebirth, which perfectly counters Emerald's concept of necromancy.
Everything dies eventually, but death is not the end, but a new beginning.
Any damage that Emeryte inflicts on Theresa Scarlet Moon using the concept of necromancy will be instantly restored under the concept of rebirth.
"My power seems to be the perfect counter to yours, witch!"
Theresa Scarlet Moon quickly realized this as well. She became even more confident and knelt directly before Emerald, not to beg for mercy, but to unleash a divine spell in a prayerful gesture:
"He will give you new life!"
With her hands and feet bound by invisible ribbons, Theresa Scarlet Moon couldn't lock onto Himeko with her fingers like she had with Himeko. So she opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue, shooting out a burst of life-giving divine power from the tip of her tongue towards Himeko's lower abdomen.
Amelie's expression changed slightly.
She had personally witnessed Ji Xinyu get pregnant from this attack, and neither her protective aura nor her golden chainmail could defend against it, which must be a characteristic of divine power attacks.
Then let's use divine magic to fight divine magic!
In a flash, Emery made a quick decision. Instead of using magic to defend or move to dodge, she pointed at the incoming divine power.
Divine Art: Sunfire Burst!
A watermelon-sized magical sun immediately flew from Emery's fingertips. Although its power was not comparable to the enormous magical sun that shattered the shield of the Elven King's city, this magical sun was entirely composed of divine power and was the prototype of the super-divine holy magic Sunset.
One of the biggest differences between divine magic and magic is that the power of magic depends mainly on the caster, while the effect of divine magic is guaranteed by the god worshipped by the clergy.
!
The two divine forces collided, but no explosion occurred; instead, they canceled each other out.
Emerald's divine magic failed to cause any damage, but Theresa Scarlet Moon's goal of getting Emerald pregnant also failed.
Not only that, but when she saw her most confident move fail, Theresa Scarlet Moon stared wide-eyed in disbelief:
"You can use divine magic? Aren't you a witch?"
"Those are all slanders against me by small fry. My real title is actually Saintess."
Emerald visibly breathed a sigh of relief; as long as Theresa Scarlet Moon's divine magic could be defended against, there was nothing to fear.
"……cut!"
Unwilling to give up, Theresa Scarlet Moon struggled again, but it was all in vain.
After all, although Theresa Scarlet Moon received the blessing of the otherworldly god and successfully became a priest, she was previously a good-for-nothing rich girl who only knew how to indulge in pleasure and had very average talent. Her combat skills were all based on numerical superiority.
If Theresa Scarlet Moon were given a few more decades, she might be able to become a true top powerhouse with the help of that otherworldly god, but that's clearly not the case now; she can't defeat Emerald.
Although Emerald was able to overpower Theresa Scarlet, she was unable to completely defeat Theresa Scarlet after trying various methods.
Theresa Scarlet Moon's divine power, which grants her the ability to regenerate, combined with the Flame of Life, makes her almost truly immortal.
It is immune to all death-related attacks, and its physical body can be reborn from the flames of life no matter how severe the damage.
The seals of holy magic were also ineffective; the powerful divine force granted Theresa Scarlet Moon extremely high resistance to seals.
Theresa Scarlet Moon couldn't defeat Emerald entirely because of her own lack of combat awareness, but her stats and mechanics were definitely not lower than Emerald's, otherwise Ji Xinyu wouldn't have been unable to defeat her, and Emerald wouldn't have been able to forcibly seal her away.
The invisible ribbon could bind Theresa Scarlet Moon, but no matter how it was bound, it could only restrict Theresa Scarlet Moon's body, not her divine power.
Emerald also tried using divine magic to attack, but just as Emerald could use divine magic to neutralize Theresa Scarlet Moon's divine magic, Theresa Scarlet Moon could also use her divine magic to neutralize Emerald's divine magic attack in return.
Thinking of what she had gained in the battle to exterminate the Squid People, Emerald even tried to sacrifice Theresa Scarlet Moon directly... This was something the unknown goddess had told her, saying that in the future, if she encountered anything related to a cult, she could just sacrifice it directly without fighting.
However, although Theresa Scarlet Moon intended for her god to take over the world, that god was not an evil god, and the sacrifice was ineffective against Theresa Scarlet Moon.
"...Looks like this is the only option."
After trying various methods without being able to completely defeat Theresa Scarlet Moon, Emerald finally reluctantly took out a gold card.
This is the reward she received after sacrificing the giant blood squid. The method of making it is not difficult, but the material is a divine metal that does not exist in this world. It can be said that every bit used is one less available. Emeralt currently only has three such golden cards.
Unlike the seals of holy magic, the [Holy Spirit Seal] is a divine magic seal, and its sealing effect is guaranteed by the power of the gods, which should be sufficient to seal Theresa Scarlet Moon.
However, there is a prerequisite for using [Holy Spirit Seal]: the target must be in a weakened state.
Theresa Scarlet Moon's Flame of Life can instantly heal even fatal wounds, so how easy would it be to weaken her?
But it's not impossible.
Amelie was actually a born priestess, after all, she received the blessing and protection of a goddess before she was born, but she did not know who that goddess was.
After acquiring a great deal of theological knowledge, Amelie now understands very clearly that divine power and magic are completely different power systems from magic, and can only be restored through prayer.
Although it is unknown how much divine power Theresa Scarlet Moon possesses, Amelie felt that it should be about the same as her own.
However, as long as they can exhaust Theresa Scarlet Moon's body, Emerald still has a way to suppress the recovery effect of the Flame of Life, after all, Marcy has been working with her on this for a long time.
With a plan in mind, Amelie immediately began to execute it.
Instead of rushing to defeat Theresa Scarlet Moon immediately, she switched to a war of attrition, using divine magic attacks to deplete Theresa Scarlet Moon's divine power.
Theresa Scarlet Moon actually wanted to attack the Federation army in the Elf capital, but she was firmly controlled by Emerald's invisible ribbons and found it difficult to break free.
The rhythm of the battle was so easily taken over by Emerald, even though Theresa Scarlet Moon's power was no weaker than Emerald's, the difference in their combat awareness was too great.
A good-for-nothing heiress who has indulged in debauchery and revelry for decades is no match for a rabbit-headed heiress who has suffered from a fear of insufficient firepower and anxieties about intensity since childhood.
The battle lasted for two days and two nights. The Federation army had completely suppressed and occupied the Elven capital, and only then did Amelie finally seize the opportunity.
After nearly exhausting Theresa Scarlet Moon's divine power with a clash of divine spells, Emerald first used the concept of necromancy—that all things must die—to temporarily suppress the Flame of Life. Then, she unleashed a volley of 256 Heavenly Wing Feathers using the magic of Lohid's Copying Technique, firing three rounds in one go.
Although they were all basic attack spells like Holy Ray, the quantitative change led to a qualitative change, and they still injured Theresa Scarlet Moon. The Flame of Life, which was temporarily suppressed by the inevitable death of all things, could not heal her immediately.
It's now!
Seizing this rare opportunity, Emerald once again activated the Divine Miracle of the Divine Magic Concept. Her entire body transformed into a stream of light, and she approached Theresa Scarlet Moon at almost teleportation speed. Then, like a female Taoist priest catching a zombie, she chanted a prayer while sticking the golden card to Theresa Scarlet Moon's forehead.
Divine Art: Holy Spirit Seal.
Theresa Scarlet Moon was in a brief state of being covered in wounds, and the weakness assessment passed. Immediately, a powerful divine power that did not belong to Emerald erupted from the golden card, trying to absorb Theresa Scarlet Moon into the card and turn her into a two-dimensional character.
Just as Emerald had predicted, Theresa Scarlet Moon also had a special blessing. Although she had almost exhausted her own divine power, she suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of divine power to fight against the seal of the golden card.
The two divine forces collided, and Amelie and Theresa Scarlet Moon were in close combat. Both of them were priests with faith circuits.
So naturally, just like when Amelie was pulled into the Storm God Kingdom last time, her and Theresa Scarlet Moon's consciousness left the world in an instant and entered a higher space.
The power of the sun god and the power of the newborn god clashed fiercely in this space, like two galaxies colliding in the night sky, dazzling and magnificent... This was a contest of power between gods.
...Is the god who blessed Theresa Scarlet Moon really that powerful?
Amelie was quite surprised.
The Storm God was eaten like a roast chicken in an instant, and the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult has also said that the goddess who blessed Emery was a famous and powerful figure.
Emery thought this clash of divine power would be a one-sided crushing victory, but it turned out to be a close match.
"……snort."
It seemed that Amelie's thoughts were perceived by some being. In her faith circuit, Amelie heard a cool voice with a touch of arrogance, which was quite pleasant to hear.
Then Amelie discovered that the power of the sun god had changed. It was no longer light and heat, but began to devour everything like a black hole, just like a person drinking water after strenuous exercise, gulping down a lot of the newly generated divine power.
"what?"
Another unfamiliar voice appeared, sounding like a little girl, very likely the deity who reinforced Theresa Crimson Moon:
"So you're a senior? I'm sorry, I was wrong... I'll be leaving now!"
Then, that powerful newborn divine power and divine consciousness, like a shy junior who accidentally dirtied her domineering senior's pantyhose while carrying a bag of milk to school, quickly ran away.
"no no!"
Theresa Hime, who had been decisively abandoned by her own god, cried out in despair, but it was no use.
After the protective divine power faded, she was no longer able to resist the seal and was immediately absorbed into the golden card, turning into a two-dimensional beauty card.
Besides Theresa Scarlet Moon's image, which resembles a game illustration, the card also includes some text below introducing her relevant information.
Amelie glanced at the cards briefly before putting them away:
Theresa Scarlet Moon
Legendary Elf Priest (God of Procreation and Rebirth)
Ability: Flame of Life (a special flame with powerful healing properties)
Divine Art: Seed of Rebirth (Makes the target pregnant; the fetus absorbs the target's power and life force before emerging from the body)
"She really did turn into a girl... but this divine magic is really overpowered."
Emerald looked at the cards and sighed a few times before suddenly realizing something. Her expression changed, and she immediately flew towards the Federation Army.
"Oh no! Junior Sister has been hit by this divine spell!"
. . . . .
The next time Emerald saw Himeko was in her own room.
Fortunately, Ji Xinyu's physical body was still alive, but she was obviously much weaker, and her belly was swollen, looking like she was at least seven or eight months pregnant.
During the two days and two nights that Amelie attacked Theresa Scarlet Moon, the fetus in Ji Xinyu's womb kept absorbing her spiritual power and life force, trying to kill her.
Fortunately, Ji Xinyu also has a soul clone. By repeatedly stabbing her own body with an invisible sword, Ji Xinyu in the black dress was able to temporarily suppress the growth of the fetus with the Netherworld Soul Technique, but she could not completely kill the fetus.
Because the fetus originated from Theresa Scarlet Moon's divine magic, the effects of which were also guaranteed by the God of fertility and new life, making the fetus virtually immortal in the mortal world.
"Senior sister, you're finally back."
Ji Xinyu herself had a pretty good attitude; even though she was so weak she couldn't stand up, she could still joke around with Amelie.
"I got pregnant because of you, senior sister, so you have to take responsibility."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you right away."
As she spoke, Amelie took out Theresa Scarlet Moon's card.
The one who tied the knot must untie it; getting the caster of the divine spell to retract it should be the fastest way to cure Ji Xinyu.
Divine Art: Holy Spirit Summoning
As there was a flash of golden light on Theresa Crimson Moon's card, the red-haired elf in a priest's robe appeared in the room.
However, she had completely lost her previous arrogance and haughtiness, becoming meek and obedient, bowing respectfully to Emerald.
"Master~~"
"...Senior sister, you actually managed to win her over? That's amazing!"
Ji Xinyu did not hide her surprise:
"How did you do that?"
“A special artifact combined with corresponding divine magic… it wasn’t my own power, it was made entirely by the goddess who blessed me.”
After giving Ji Xinyu a brief explanation, Amelie gave Theresa Scarlet Moon an order:
"Quickly, remove the divine spell from my junior sister's body."
"Yes, Master."
Theresa Scarlet Moon obediently responded, then walked to the bedside and knelt down, placing her palm on Ji Xinyu's swollen belly, intending to withdraw the divine spell.
"Uh……"
But immediately, Theresa Scarlet's expression turned sad, and there was a hint of fear in it.
She released her grip, turned around, and knelt before Emery, bowing her head.
“I’m sorry, Master, I can’t do it… He has abandoned me. I have lost control over the divine magic and cannot remove its effects.”
