You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

Even if she tries her best to catch up and improve her extraordinary rank, there will always be people stronger and of higher rank than her, such as Cecilia, Anya, and Zeno.

Given that he can't use his own strengths in direct combat, how can he leverage them to better help Shilo at some point in the future?

With this question in mind, Elena pondered for a long time, and finally focused on the illusion magic her mother had taught her.

If you can't be the sharpest sword or the strongest shield, then be the most concealed bait.

Elena knew that every girl held a significant place in Shiro's heart, and she would never put herself in danger.

Therefore, if we're going to do it, we must make sure there are absolutely no mistakes!

So-called illusion magic is actually about using a certain medium to transform something into the form one wants to change.

However, the ease with which an illusion can be detected varies depending on the user's skill level and the quality of the medium.

Therefore, to make one's illusions foolproof, one must find an excellent medium, a medium that can deceive all perceptions!

There is no more suitable medium than the Yin and Yang energies within Shiloh.

After all, Yin and Yang are the fundamental forces of the world, and using them as a medium, even gods can be deceived!

This is why Elena squeezed the most out of Shiro, but her strength didn't improve much.

Most of the Yin and Yang energies she had accumulated were stored in illusion magic.

This time, after she discussed the bait plan with Shiloh, Shiloh agreed to the plan, and thus the trick to deceive the gods was born and successfully implemented.

After listening to Frost's account, Freya and Nora's eyes sparkled, and they looked at Elena with a hint of admiration.

"Hey, you're really amazing, Miss Elena."

Freya never expected that the most feverish person in the harem would have such courage. Although she had the Yin and Yang Qi of Shiloh as an aid, being able to propose and implement this plan already made her stronger than most people in the world.

After all, not everyone has the guts to deceive the gods. If the plan falls apart, the consequences could be worse than death.

Elena, who was leaning back on the bench with her eyes closed, smiled slightly upon hearing this and said lazily in her cool voice, "Next time you call me, remember to drop the 'little' part, okay, little Freya?"

Uh……

Freya twitched her lips. In terms of age, they should be about the same age, so it was naturally a little difficult for her to call her "older sister".

However, she will have to join the harem in the future. Since she doesn't know the specific situation inside, it's probably not a bad thing to pay homage to a powerful figure.

Thinking of this, Freya smiled gently, walked behind Elena, and used a special technique to massage her shoulders, saying sweetly, "You've worked hard, let me relieve your fatigue, Elena-neechan~"

"Hmm~"

Elena's smile widened slightly as she thought to herself that it had been a long time since she had met such an understanding junior.

Really on the road.

With Elena's situation temporarily resolved, and Cecilia approaching the forbidden grounds of the Holy Church to pay homage to the Holy Sword in the Stone, the dramatic changes that were about to occur in the outside world finally took place...

hum-

The azure sky was suddenly shrouded in thick, dark clouds, obscuring the blazing sun high in the sky, and plunging the world into a deathly darkness.

Amidst the oppressive, thick clouds, an ancient moon radiating an eerie pink light slowly rose, its strange glow forming a curtain that enveloped the entire imperial capital.

Seeing a scene exactly like the last divine descent, people panicked, realizing that the evil god Slaanesh had returned once again.

However, this time was different from before. With the experience from the last time and prior preparation, at the moment the unexpected change occurred, all departments and agencies started operating like precise gears, organizing the people on the street to evacuate, take shelter, and defend themselves in an orderly manner.

Under the glow of the pink moonlight, those with weak wills who threw themselves into the abyss quickly turned into demons, while other demons disguised in the capital tore off their human skin and roared as they attacked the people around them!

Such scenes were common throughout the capital, but during the implementation of emergency plans, these monsters were purified by the paladins in plain clothes before they could cause any real damage.

Meanwhile, at Natalia's manor.

Natalia gazed at the pink moon in the sky, the crimson in her eyes growing even more intense.

She desperately wanted to do something, but she had to fulfill the instructions Shilo had given her, even though she wanted to help him.

"...That won't do, will it? What if that guy actually arrives?"

On the inner side of the open-air balcony, Vera, bound hand and foot to a chair, looked at the repulsive lights in the night sky and spoke softly.

"I'm telling you, that guy has already set up a barrier, so Shilo from the outside can't get in, okay? Let me go and confront him to minimize the losses, right? After all, I can be resurrected, but Shilo's little women can't~"

Vera chattered on and on behind, but Natalia didn't respond at all, simply gazing quietly at the sky.

"Hey! Give me a response! We're good friends, aren't we?!"

Vera struggled frantically, but her body was only at the [Erosion Realm] level, and without going all out, she couldn't break free from the [Crown Realm]'s restraints.

Upon hearing Vera's words, Natalia finally reacted.

"Oh, a friend?"

Natalia turned her head slightly, staring at Vera with a contemptuous and superior gaze, and scoffed, "It's one thing to eat my food and live in my house, but to hide it from me and use my little man... Heh, it seems we have a slightly different understanding of the word 'friend,' little Vera."

"Uh……"

The boomerang of infidelity had finally returned. Vera's pretty face flushed red and then paled; clearly, this woman was determined not to let her go. And now...

Seeing Vera droop her head like a salted fish, Natalia paused for a moment before looking away.

Tying Vera up was exactly what Shilo had told her to do. Although Natalia had some doubts, she carried it out without hesitation.

Chapter 246 The Battle of the Gods Begins! (Three Chapters Combined, 6k)

Big crisis!

However, it's not a major crisis for the capital, but a major crisis for ourselves!

Vera's expression was grave. Despite Slaanesh's elaborate preparations, if it were Shiloh, the opponent... there was no chance of victory.

Perhaps due to the union of yin and yang, Vera and Shiloh's fates were intertwined, so at some point not long ago, a memory sealed deep within their vast consciousness quietly surfaced...

Shilo Wells, an extremely special human being whom he had never seen from ancient times to the present day, was not because he carried the "fate" between heaven and earth, but because he was Him.

That primordial being who once created gods and the world.

That supreme, unique, and unparalleled god!

"Hiss—no, no, looks like I can't escape...tsk, I have to think of a way to apologize, or drag others down with me..."

Vera's face twitched as she clenched her teeth in deep thought.

After all, in a sense, these living gods can all be called "traitors and rebels," and when that one returns, they will surely be set right.

Damn it, damn it, damn it—!

How could I forget something like this?! Was it that bastard who did the fraud?!

Vera had originally thought that one day she would be able to turn the tables and take charge, but now, thinking about what she had done to him in the water city of Hifiel, she was lucky that she wasn't scared out of her wits.

Calm down, calm down. In any case, I am now considered Xi Luo's—cough cough, that person's woman. If I want to atone for my sins, all I need to do is be a little more hard in bed, right?

Right, right?

Ah ha ha……

While Vera was going crazy, Anya, who was organizing the Knights to clear the monsters off the streets, suddenly had a strange glint in her eyes. She looked up at the moon in the sky with a blank expression, and a mocking smile silently appeared on her lips.

As the manifestation of the gods, mortals who dare to look directly at them will inevitably suffer a terrifying backlash of contamination.

However, the eerie moon had no effect on Anya, as if it couldn't sense that a mortal was looking directly at her.

"Traitors should be swept into the dustbin of history..."

Anya chuckled coldly and muttered to herself, then flicked her cloak and turned to leave.

Interesting, they didn't do anything to stop it?

In the night sky, the crimson moon, like a giant eye, cast its gaze upon the capital.

Even now, He is unsure whether the current situation is part of Shiloh's scheme.

Even if it's a case of luring the enemy deep into your territory, surely you shouldn't expose your core area to them completely without any resistance?

If that's the case, then it would be called "inviting a wolf into the house".

However, the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released. Moreover, he had already captured Shiloh's two women, and Meredith and Aaron, the two excellent vessels, had been forged. He was fully prepared, waiting only for his arrival so that these lowly beings would know what the power of a god truly was...

Hehehe... Hahahaha—!

Thump thump thump—! ! !

Three muffled, enormous heartbeats suddenly rang out, the terrifying sound waves blasting nearby buildings into dust. People who were close by instantly bled from all seven orifices, went deaf, and their vision went black while they felt waves of evil murmurs swirling in their minds.

"Retreat! The rest of the battle should be left to the high-level superhumans!!"

The knight captain controlled the pace of the battlefield, ordering the low- to mid-level superhumans near the center of the decisive battle to retreat.

From the depths of the moon, a muddy liquid emerged, then clung together and slowly transformed into a human shape.

The Grand Knight Commander and the Grand Master of the Knights appeared near the moon, intending to gather everyone's strength to interrupt the divine descent ritual.

However, several bulges, like pustules, suddenly appeared on the surface of the eerie moon. Then, several bizarre and terrifying abyssal monsters roared out from them. Each of them was no less powerful than the [Erosion Realm] level, and there was even one that was close to the demigod [Crown Realm] level!

These are all familiars of Slaanesh, monsters who have fought countless battles in the depths of the abyss. The moment they broke through the barrier and descended to the human world, their bloodlust and brutality, ingrained in their instincts, were instantly awakened. They couldn't wait to tear these powerful superhumans to pieces and savor their delicious flesh and blood.

"You beast!!!"

Before the weapons even clashed, a furious roar unleashed an overwhelming imperial might that swept over Slaanesh's retinue, freezing them in place!

Word of Power Magic: Imperial Majesty!

High in the sky, Rodel, clad in majestic golden armor, stood on the horizon with his eyes wide with rage, holding a giant sword entwined with a gilded dragon. After interrupting the rhythm of the battlefield, he raised his hand and released a dazzling golden light, instantly dividing the battlefield into several parts!

This is Rodel's domain—[Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the emperor].

This is a field of extremely high priority. Rodel's decree is beyond question. He can divide the battlefield into whatever shape he wants and provide powerful buffs to friendly forces within the field.

The two sides were relatively evenly matched in terms of combat strength and numbers. Based on his own judgment, Rodel ordered his stronger side to deal with the relatively weaker side, while the relatively weaker side would use its numbers to counter the relatively stronger side.

Compared to the Abyss Familiars who fight individually, our advantage lies in cooperation!

Rodel himself faced the opponent's strongest combat force alone, and was also the head of the [Crown Rank] familiars.

After this battle, if he's still alive, it'll be time for him to abdicate...

Before the battle, Rodel took a potion, sacrificing his superhuman energy and lifespan to forcibly regain his former power.

"Let the war begin, monsters!!!"

Otivia is hiding something from me.

Within the realm of the emperor, Zeno rested his chin on his hand, completely ignoring the demonic servant opposite him who was gradually becoming enraged, grinding his tangled teeth on his decaying body.

Although it was difficult for others to guess what her younger sister was thinking, Zeno, relying on her older sister's intuition, guessed that the other person's unusual behavior was most likely related to Shiloh.

Could it be that they've found a new offensive strategy? Tsk.

sieve--!

Just as Zeno was filled with displeasure, a sharp whooshing sound came from the air. A tentacle whip covered with twisted bone blades lashed across the spot where Zeno was standing, creating a violent gust of wind that caused the surrounding space to tremble.

"Arrogant humans... I wonder what they would taste like, hehehe~!"

Zeno easily dodged the slash, his golden eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the familiar monster that had attacked him. After a moment, he suddenly revealed an expression of disgust and aversion.

"A monster is a monster, ugly, disgusting, and despicable. A creature like you should just stay obediently in a garbage dump where no one cares and die, right?"

Zeno clicked his tongue, pointing his index finger down at him with a chilling and violent look in his eyes.

Suddenly bombarded with trash talk, the hundreds of mouths on the familiar monster's body froze, then began to tremble violently, their upper and lower teeth clenching and grinding together, producing a chilling "clucking" sound.

"I'm going to eat you up, bit by bit!! Human—!!!"

Enraged, the demonic creature let out a piercing roar, its demonic energy erupting and its body swelling several times its original size, almost filling the space.

The fiery red demon lashed out with its unpredictable whip, hurtling towards Zeno. Faced with the overwhelming killing intent, Zeno's expression remained unchanged. He simply raised his hand and said calmly, "Filthy trash, who gave you permission to be so presumptuous?"

As soon as the words fell, the long whip that had been attacking suddenly stopped in mid-air, unable to move an inch no matter how the demon tried to wield it.

"H-How is this possible?! This is word magic?!"

As members of the Abyss, their path to transcendence differs from that of the creatures in the middle layer. Although they do not possess a [field], they instead have extremely strong resistance and special methods.

The monster Zeno was facing had high resistance and high physical attack, making it a mid-to-high-level monster even among familiars.

But how could something like this be so easily controlled and held in place by mere words of magic created by humans?!

This situation was completely beyond its expectations, even making it suspect that it was under an illusion.

While the monster was still in shock, Zeno had already leisurely put on the pair of gauntlets that Shilo had given her—the [Exorcism] to strengthen her body, and the [Exorcism] to amplify her extraordinary spells.
