The story of the black silk female knight

So I tried to control those talented people and have them conduct all sorts of research to explore different possible paths for me... such as how to condense divinity and how to collect faith.

However, the more talented a person is, the harder they are to control. Several of my "tools" betrayed me after achieving certain results in their research, causing my years of hard work to go to waste, and I had to personally clean house.

Then I realized that fear and intimidation cannot control a person forever; only love can make someone loyal until death, especially the kind of love that can never be recovered.

I changed my approach. Instead of trying to forcibly control the geniuses I had chosen, I personally got to know them, fell in love with them, and then faked my death and left when they were at their happiest.

Sure enough, their burning love made them refuse to accept reality. To see me again, they were willing to trample on any taboos… With just a little guidance in the shadows, they would unleash their talents in the direction I desired, helping me realize my dreams.”

"For example, using Savat Langdon's soul-splitting technique to collect faith power? There must be quite a few tools like him, right?" Valensa asked rhetorically.

"Of course... After all, I've been preparing for hundreds of years, while it doesn't even take 10 years to make a man devoted to me until death."

The Sin Angel smiled and said:

"So your friend is just one of my tools... In fact, if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't even remember his name."

"……Understood."

Valensa paused briefly, then took another step towards the position of the Sin Angel, her fists clenched, making no attempt to conceal her killing intent.

"If you had just said that you still had some love for Linglan, I might have left you with a remnant of your soul so that you could see Linglan one more time... But now, hmph."

"...Wait! You really dare to kill me?"

The angel of sin was stunned:

"I've served Her Majesty the Goddess with my body! Even if Her Majesty the Goddess only sees me as a capable pet, you shouldn't have the right to kill me directly, right?"

"really."

Valensa nodded, but her killing intent remained undiminished.

"Only Her Majesty the Goddess can decide how to deal with you, so I plan to send you to see Her Majesty the Goddess now."

"But if you kill me directly, I will never see the Sun Goddess again!"

The Sinful Angel quickly said:

"Because I have long since abandoned my faith, I can no longer go to God's kingdom after death."

"Of course I know, but it doesn't matter."

Valensa did not stop, and finally walked to the side of the Sin Angel, striking the Sin Angel in the abdomen with a palm, activating the most commonly used evil magic of cultists.

Blood sacrifice technique.

"you……?"

The angel of sin was horrified as he watched his body gradually turn into a bloody mist:

"You actually sacrificed me to the Sun Goddess in the same way you would sacrifice an evil god? Are you insane? This is a grave blasphemy! You yourself will be punished and destroyed by the gods! Stop!"

"Really?"

Valensa, however, didn't care at all, and instead smiled as she sped up the sacrifice:

"I think Her Majesty the Goddess might like it because of the novelty, and might even reward me handsomely~~"

"You...uh...ahhhhh..."

The Sinful Angel wanted to say something more, but her vocal organs turned into a blood mist first, bursting out with a blazing golden light along with the Yang Flame Divine Power within her body.

The sacrifice was successfully completed.

At first nothing happened, but about half a minute later, a miracle occurred.

The sun, which was already in the evening, suddenly became brighter than at noon, and golden light descended from the sky, almost enveloping the entire island of Chino.

Valensa quickly adopted a devout expression and began to pray, deliberately sticking out her buttocks, which were tightly bound by black stockings—a pose favored by the sun goddess.

But the miracle ignored Valensa and instead took effect on the entire Isle of Ruler—time reversed in all areas affected by the previous battle, all the destroyed sand, rocks, vegetation, and man-made structures were restored to their original state, and even those unfortunate souls who had died were resurrected in a state of utter bewilderment.

Only after all the losses caused by the battle were recovered did the divine golden light that had enveloped the entire Island of Ruler begin to recede, finally focusing on Valensa and Tia.

clap clap!

When the divine golden light shone on Valensa, two kicking sounds were heard first.

Valensa immediately became teary-eyed and quickly apologized and begged for forgiveness:

"Wow! Your Majesty, I know I was wrong... I shouldn't have used a blood sacrifice on you... But I had no better way... Yes, yes, I understand... Next time I encounter such a wicked woman, I'll just kill her..."

After Valensa admitted her mistake and expressed her sincere repentance, the divine golden light surrounding her softened considerably, and countless tiny particles could be seen continuously entering Valensa's body and fusing with every cell in her body.

These were the purest and most essential divine powers of order, making Valensa feel as comfortable as if she had just breathed in an oxygen tank after climbing a mountain at high altitude; her expression was almost melting.

The Sun Goddess was fair in her rewards and punishments. After punishing Valensa with a blood sacrifice by kicking her in the buttocks from several star systems away, she immediately rewarded her.

It seems they knew very well that Valencia's favorite thing was power, so the reward was nothing fancy, just pure enhancement of the power of the Order God, roughly equivalent to the results of 20 years of training for an ordinary Star Paladin.

Putting aside skill level and combat experience for the moment, if we only look at physical attributes, Valensa has been directly boosted to the peak of the Star Glory level.

In addition, the Sun Goddess used an oracle to answer some of Valensa's questions and told her that Tia would also receive a reward this time.

Upon receiving the divine message, Valensa immediately looked at Tia and saw that Tia was also praying devoutly in the golden light of the miracle, just like Valensa, with a comfortable expression on her face.

However, what Tia received was not the power of the divine order, but some off-white, semi-transparent fragments that looked like eggshell pieces, which merged into Tia's body in the golden light of the miracle.

The golden light that rewarded the two disappeared almost simultaneously, and the goddess's will was withdrawn as well.

"How is it, baby?"

Valensa quickly went to Tia's side and asked with concern:

"You used such powerful magic, are you feeling unwell anywhere? What price do you have to pay?"

"I was quite tired at first, and I didn't even want to move my fingers, but now I'm fine. The power of the miracle has fully restored me."

Tia smiled, then a hint of confusion appeared on her face:

"As for the price... I don't know... I did use witch's methods this time, and I was mentally prepared to pay the price, but I didn't feel like I was paying the price at all... Could it be that Her Majesty the Goddess's reward helped me eliminate the price as well?"

"It's very possible... Her Majesty the Goddess's punishments are severe, but her rewards are always generous."

When the word 'punishment' was mentioned, Valensa couldn't help but touch the spot on her buttocks that had just been kicked through her black stockings.

That was true divine punishment. My buttocks are still burning with pain, and an indescribable sense of shame keeps growing, which no amount of power can alleviate. I can only obediently wait for the punishment to end.

"By the way, speaking of rewards..."

Valensa then asked Tia curiously:

"I just saw that Her Majesty the Goddess seems to have given you a fragment of the Sinful Angel's divine essence?"

"To be precise, it is a portion of the power of time."

Tia seemed very satisfied with the reward, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but turn up:

"Now my connection with the River of Time is closer, and most importantly, I have now essentially gained the official recognition of the Creator God. From now on, I will no longer need to pay a lot of extra magic as a price for violating the fundamental laws when interfering with time... Do you know what this means?"

This means I'll be able to train time-based spells much more smoothly in the future, and I won't have to worry about the biggest drawback of time-based spells—the excessive mana consumption. Before, each time I helped you complete a time jump, the mana consumed was almost enough to cast a forbidden spell. But with this additional time-based power, if I use the same time jump on you, it might only require the mana cost of a single fireball.

"That's amazing! You're so great, darling! Mua~~"

Valensa happily hugged and kissed Tia until Tia was a little out of breath and pinched her waist before she let go, still excitedly asking:

"Having received Her Majesty the Goddess's reward and briefly experienced the power of a Moon-level Witch, my darling, you should be able to break through now, right?"

"necessary."

Tia gave a very confident snort:

"Once our trip to the Four Islands Alliance is over, I'll go home and go into seclusion to complete my breakthrough... at most two months... no, I feel a month would actually be enough."

"A month? Hmm... that's fine, I'll take this time to go to the Witch's Forest."

Valensa nodded, but a hint of worry appeared on her face.

"what happened?"

Tia asked curiously:

"What are you doing in the Witch's Forest? Did you hook up with someone last time you went there? Are you planning to have a secret rendezvous while I'm in seclusion breaking through to a higher level?"

Am I that kind of person?

Valensa was both amused and exasperated. She waved her hand dismissively at Tia's questioning gaze, then pulled out the Moonkiss, which had reverted to its ordinary alloy longsword, and sighed.

"Moonkiss suddenly lost its power, which is likely because something happened to Fairy Dragon Dreigan. I'm a little worried and want to go see if I can help. If she really has met with misfortune, I at least want to find out who harmed her and find an opportunity to help her get revenge."

"Oh, it's her... Hmm, then I should definitely go see her."

Tia knew the fairy dragon princess quite well; Valensa had told her many stories of the two of them teaming up to fight the evil black dragon.

However, precisely because of this, Tia became worried again:

"But you should also be careful... I suspect that Princess Dregran's accident is likely retaliation from the Black Dragon Clan. That is the most tyrannical branch of the dragons, and they may not give the Church of the Sun any face."

"Don't worry, I also received a reward from Her Majesty the Goddess this time, and I've become much stronger. Even if the Black Dragon really causes trouble, I can still run away without any problems."

Valensa comforted Tia with a remark, then suddenly laughed:

"By the way, do you know how the Sin Angels ultimately failed?"

"how?"

Tia was indeed very curious.

At that time, Tia's magic power to maintain her status as the Witch of Time had been completely exhausted, while the Sin Angel should have left a trace of divine power of order to continue to control authority, which resulted in the inexplicable collapse.

"Simply put, it's a case of good deeds being rewarded."

Valensa remarked with great emotion:

"Do you remember that time in Poliland City? I saw at Savat Landon's hideout that he split the souls of many poor souls from the world of the Dancing Sisters and put them into the bodies of goblin cubs, and then made those goblin cubs pray constantly to generate the power of faith to condense the divine status of the sin angels."

When we began our siege, all the goblin cubs, drained of their value, died on the spot. Seeing that, I felt a pang of guilt, so I deliberately lagged behind a few steps to allow the souls to rest in peace, following the church's ritual of blessing the dead. Little did I know that this would lead to our victory today.

"Oh?"

Tia became even more curious. She was quite proficient in magical theory, but knew little about divine magic, especially the use of the power of faith, since she was not a priest.

"The source of the divine power of the false god is the power of faith. The power that the Sin Angel just used to manipulate authority and fight us actually all came from the souls of those other worlds."

Valensa smiled and continued to explain:

"Initially, the faith power produced by those souls under Savat Langdon's control was pure illusionary faith, which the Sin Angels could naturally use smoothly."

But in the end, those souls found peace through the blessings of my Sun Church, which transformed their faith into a Sun faith at the last moment, and they were absorbed by the divine.

This trace of faith in the sun is extremely rare compared to faith in illusion, so normally it's not a big problem... Most false gods have some impurities in their divine status, and the divine status of the Sin Angel is actually quite pure.

The problem is that the Sin Angel currently has no followers, so her divine power is dwindling. After being repeatedly blasted away by your magic, my dear, the Illusionary Time Divine Power within her divine core was exhausted... leaving only a trace of Yang Flame Divine Power as an impurity.

The Sinful Angel had only recently merged with her divine core, and her mastery of divine power was far from proficient. Furthermore, her eagerness to win led to a momentary lapse in judgment; she attempted to use the power of the Sunfire Divine Force to manipulate the power of time… Thus, without our intervention, her divine core shattered on its own, leaving her only to await her death.

"So that's how it is... Well, she got what she deserved."

Tia also felt quite emotional about the reasons for the Sin Angel's failure.

After resting for a while, the two returned to the underground space where the Sin Angel had previously fused with the divine essence.

This place had been completely destroyed in the battle, but with the miracle restoring everything, it was restored to its original state, except for the statue that had fallen on the cave ceiling and the nun inside it.

The crystal bead belonging to the second-in-command of the Sailian tribe, and that pool of materials, are still there.

Valensa put the crystal bead away, planning to give it to Granny Brownleaf on Sword Island later. She thought it would help the Four Islands Alliance and the Seren Clan's diplomatic relations, and also give Thousand Leaf Grass another credit.

Valensa and Tia also carefully inspected the materials in the pool, especially the human acorns.

Unfortunately, these acorns have been stewed in the pond for a long time, and their effectiveness as ingredients has been completely lost. Moreover, this is all the production that the island of ruler has.

The production plan for the special pheromone solvent has to be temporarily suspended, pending the harvest of acorns from new people on Ruler Island next year.

Of course, Valensa will use her connections with the Teido and Chiba families to make a reservation in advance, ensuring that she will definitely get a share of the Acorns next year.

After confirming that all the materials in the pool were unusable, Valensa used her Sunfire Divine Power to completely destroy the pool, preventing the wastewater from flowing back into the ocean and damaging the marine ecosystem.

After doing all this, Valensa and Tia planned to go to Sword Island to meet up with Melody and the other two, say goodbye to Thousand Leaf Grass, and then return to Fran.
