Valensa chuckled sheepishly, ignoring the fact that she had just asked a stupid question, and rubbed the tip of the succubus's tail in her hand a couple more times:
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"...How is your recovery going?"
Zero, however, asked a question in return, her words filled with genuine concern:
"I've been so busy these days, I haven't even had time to see you... I heard from Velenkasa that your sister beat you up badly?"
"It was really tough, but it's all right now."
Valencia patted her chest in a gesture of strength:
"My body and Her Majesty the Goddess's divine magic have basically recovered completely, but the recovery speed of my own evil god power is very slow. I guess it's a problem with the Holy Domain. I need to go out for a meal."
"That's it..."
Zero's eyes lit up with golden light, and after observing Valensa for a moment with divine magic, he nodded:
"It seems like everything's fine for now... Well, actually there is one thing that requires your personal help, and it's something that you absolutely need. Everyone's waiting for you."
"Waiting for me? What's up?"
Valensa asked curiously.
"It's about bringing those victims back from the gaps in the world."
Zero sighed:
"The witches took over the task and became the main force in this matter. Didn't they originally prepare a powerful spell to help your sister? Now that it's not needed, they can use it to save her... The miracle magic that has been gathered will not be wasted."
After you went to recuperate, we quickly established contact with the other side of the world through the places where those towns disappeared… The contact person there was your fiancée, Miss Tia of the Britannia family.”
"Is Tia alright? Has she come back?"
Valensa asked hastily.
"Don't worry, your fiancée is fine."
Zero smiled and comforted Valensa with a reassuring remark, then continued:
"But she hasn't come back yet because she's run into a little problem... Don't worry, it's not your fiancée who's having problems. She can come back anytime she wants, but once she comes back, the others and those towns might not be able to return."
"Huh? Why?"
"...Because of your sister's casual toss, everyone was thrown so far...I guess you really are a powerful and capricious evil god?"
Zero sighed again as he drank the jujube and goji berry water:
“Your Tia said that the spatial rules of that place are completely different from those of Eve, and she can’t leave any spatial marks there… In other words, once she comes back on her own, she can’t go back.”
She's currently our only point of contact with that area. If she comes back, we'll completely lose contact with them... meaning those people and cities your sister destroyed, even if they still exist, may never return."
"What should I do?"
Valensa frowned and said:
"Didn't they say the witches prepared a very powerful spell? Couldn't that spell save everyone?"
"This is where we need your personal help."
Shrugs:
"The grand magic of many witches is naturally no problem, and a stable link can be established with Tia to locate the target... But this kind of large-scale spatial transfer cannot be accomplished by relying on one side alone. Tia must also cooperate in casting spells there in order to bring back all the missing people and towns."
"But the spatial laws over there are different from here. If Tia wants to coordinate her spellcasting, she first needs to perform a conversion between different spatial laws. She also needs someone here to connect with her in real time and coordinate her location. Ideally, there should also be a large amount of magic power to replenish her..."
"Sister Zero, just tell me what I need to do."
Valencia felt sleepy as soon as she heard those complicated magical theories, and quickly waved her hand to interrupt Zero, who wanted to launch into a long explanation.
"Uh... well."
Zero pouted, seemingly still wanting more.
"Now you have a humanoid Noble Phantasm that can move in sync with your main body, right? What Tia means is that she pulled your main body into the interdimensional gap as well, while your Noble Phantasm stayed here... relying on the connection between you and the Noble Phantasm to anchor the link between the two worlds."
Furthermore, Tia has only recently broken through to the Radiant rank, and she was previously beaten by your sister. Her remaining magic power is likely insufficient to support the casting of large-scale spells, so she needs your true form to help her quickly replenish her magic power.
"Understood, I'm ready to leave anytime... Mm."
Valensa paused for a moment after speaking:
"In order to have enough energy to quickly replenish Tia's magic power, perhaps I should have a big meal before I start my operation."
"The witches will help with this."
Zero nodded and said:
"The Witch's Forest has many areas filled with powerful and ferocious monsters. They should be enough for you to feast on and restore your evil god power... You can go directly to them."
. . . . .
After leaving the Sanctuary, Valensa quickly returned to the continent of Frenoia, where she met the witch team in charge of the rescue operation on the site of a vanished town.
There were only a few of them, less than 20, but each of them was a powerful individual. There were as many as five powerful witches of the Moon Radiance level, including the Destruction Witch Elanfiel and the Harmony Witch Lu.
But the leader wasn't Lu or Ailan Feier, but a white-stockinged loli who looked like she was always asleep.
According to Ailanfeier, this white-stockinged loli is also one of the nine witches of the Witch Forest, known as the Unifying Witch. She is best at combining the miraculous magic of multiple witches to unleash powerful spells that no individual witch could accomplish.
The Unifying Witch will be in charge of this rescue operation.
Although the Unifying Witch appears lazy and unambitious, she has a very good personality, possessing a broad-minded tolerance and gentleness that is quite different from her appearance.
I don't know how someone with such a flat chest can be so open-minded.
While silently complaining to herself, Valensa stated that she needed to have a good meal first.
This request puzzled the other witches, but Elanfil and Lu, who had some idea about Valensa's evil god bloodline and the truth of the incident, immediately reacted and helped Valensa cover for herself, saying that if Valensa wanted to be Tia's magic source, she had to eat her fill and replenish her energy first.
This world is full of strange and unusual secret arts and constitutions, so the witches didn't pay any more attention to them. Instead, they quickly discussed it and drew a small circle on the map of the Witch Forest:
“There’s a really annoying monster clan there, let’s take this opportunity to get rid of them.”
Chapter 44 The End of the Calamity of the Evil God (End of this volume)
A single word from the witches decided the fate of a group of monsters.
The circled area on the Witch Forest map is a dense forest basin with an area of about 8 square kilometers. The basin is inhabited by a large number of ferocious monsters. Among them, the three Radiant-rank monster lords are extremely hostile to humans and have slaughtered many adventurers. Even some of the witches present have suffered in that basin.
When the decision was made to kill all the monsters in that area and feed them to Valensa, several of the witches present clapped and cheered, and even loudly volunteered to help.
So the Witch of Destruction, Elanfeel, and the Witch of Harmony, Law, led the team, along with four ordinary witches, and Valensa, and quickly headed to the Witch's Forest.
This was clearly not the first time the witches had joined forces to eliminate dangerous monsters on a large scale. They were very experienced and did not kill indiscriminately in the basin. Instead, they spread out from the air to the area around the basin and rode on brooms, constantly throwing medicine bottles into the dense forest like bombers.
The bottle contains a potion with a strong odor, prepared by the Harmonizing Witch. The smell is extremely unpleasant to most monsters, making it the best choice for driving away monsters on a large scale.
Soon, hordes of Pearl-class and Lighthouse-class monsters were driven towards the center of the dense forest basin. The three Radiant-class monster lords, sensing the danger, tried to escape and ambush the witch who was scattering medicine from the air, but they were all brutally beaten by Elanfiel, though not killed... She knew that Valensa had the bloodline of an evil god, and that eating live creatures was the most effective thing for an evil god.
In the end, hundreds of monsters below the Radiant Rank and above the Pearl Rank were all driven to the center of the dense forest basin, where Valensa, who had been waiting there, opened her domain and swallowed them whole.
The three Radiant-rank monster lords were first cut off by Valensa from the more delicious parts that could be used as food before being eaten.
The top-tier ingredients from the Radiant-rank monster lords were quickly grilled and cooked by Valensa on the spot, and then distributed to the witches who helped as a token of her gratitude, instantly earning her even more goodwill from the witches.
A big meal was indeed the best way for the Abyss Spirit Evil God to replenish his energy, and Valensa's chaotic divine power was restored to its maximum level once again.
Valensa was somewhat surprised by this... because compared to the chaotic divine power within her, the combined biological energy of the three demon lords and hundreds of Pearl Lighthouse-level demons might not even be enough.
She originally thought that this meal would be enough to replenish her Chaos Divine Power to 70%, but she didn't expect it to overflow so quickly. She was full after only a few bites, and the monsters behind her, including the three monster lords, didn't really need to eat.
This unexpected turn of events led Valensa to new speculations about the nature of the Chaos God's power.
She felt that... the Yuanling God Clan's eating was likely not eating in the conventional biological sense, and the way they ingested energy was not by digesting food and absorbing nutrients and chemical energy, but rather... completely breaking down what they ate into pure energy, and then converting it into chaotic divine power in a certain proportion.
This is the only way to explain why such a large gap in Chaos Divine Power can be completely replenished by eating just a few monsters below the Radiant Rank... The reason why eating more is useless is probably because the body itself has a limit. When the Chaos Divine Power in the body reaches the limit, eating food can no longer be completely decomposed into energy conversion, but is digested like a normal living organism.
A humanoid...mass-energy reactor?
After eating her fill, Valensa patted her stomach, her expression complex... The evil god was indeed a powerful creature completely beyond human imagination and comprehension.
With energy replenished, it's time to get to work.
The group returned to the original site of the vanished town. The witches used magic to contact Tia, telling her that Valensa was in place and they could begin at any time.
Standing in the magic circle set up by the witches, Valensa felt a blur before her eyes, and the scenery around her began to change in a bizarre and wonderful way, much like the feeling when she went to the Dimensional Hardware Store, only without the teleportation efficiency of the Dimensional Hardware Store.
A full half minute passed before the bizarre light around Valensa stabilized, turning into a hazy gray scene.
It really is a world gap... If Valensa hadn't missed seeing a familiar hardware store nearby, she would have thought she was there to shop or buy blind boxes again.
But... where is Tia?
Valensa shaded her eyes with her hand and looked around, but all she saw was an endless wilderness similar to the Barren Ridge, a gray sky devoid of any celestial bodies, and the whole world was utterly desolate.
Snapped!
Just then, a fireball suddenly exploded in the gray sky about 10 kilometers away, standing out conspicuously in this desolate world.
That was... a signal flare from Tia?
Valensa wondered what was going on, and then quickly tried to switch the main perspective to Nana, intending to ask the witches in the main world.
This time it wasn't as smooth as before... Valensa could still sense Nana's presence and could barely control her remotely and switch perspectives, but it was far less smooth than before. It was roughly like when she played online games outside the Great Firewall in her previous life without using a VPN, with extremely high latency and frequent lag.
This level of connection would only hinder a team from engaging in high-difficulty battles, but it's fine for simply communicating.
After chatting with Nana and the witches for a while, Valensa understood the situation on the main body's side.
The fireball in the sky just now was indeed a signal flare fired by Tia. The gap between a mortal spellcaster and a fully-fledged evil god is still too great. Even though Tia had calculated it repeatedly, an error still occurred when she summoned Valensa, causing Valensa's appearance location to deviate by more than 10 kilometers.
This is also the main reason why the rescue operation has been slow to progress... If this level of error can occur when teleporting a single person, the error will only be greater when teleporting an entire town. It would be terrible if the person were accidentally teleported to a dangerous area when being sent back, so further precise positioning is necessary.
The distance of more than 10 kilometers was just a short jog for Valensa... She soon saw a lonely town in the wilderness, and a few people waiting outside the town, with Tia, dressed in a witch's robe, leading the group.
There were no romantic gestures or mushy words. After meeting, the two exchanged a deep, knowing glance before getting down to business.
Tia first introduced Valensa to her temporary teammates—the town's original guard captain, several adventurers, and an old priest. The one who had previously launched fireballs from the sky to guide Valensa was an adventurer-turned-magician.
They were the ones who fought bravely against Elena when she passed through the town, yet they couldn't even get a second glance from her before being thrown here along with the town with a wave of her hand.
At first, the townspeople were quite panicked, and some even had malicious intentions to take advantage of the chaos, thinking that since they were going to die anyway, they might as well indulge themselves, such as having some fun with the beautiful wife of their neighbor.
These brave warriors fought to maintain order in the town at a critical moment, decisively killing a few of the most insane people to protect the majority... until Baldy and Tia found their way here.
The fact that the war academy principal was the next head of the Bretania family was convincing enough that everyone breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down to wait for rescue.
However, it won't be long before the calamity of the evil god ends. Nearly 10 days have passed since then, and many towns are running out of supplies.
After all, Elena's arrival was too sudden, and the Fran people did not have the habit of storing large quantities of supplies at home, because there was food everywhere in the wild, and if all else failed, they could seek help from the Church of the Sun. Who would have thought that they would be suddenly thrown into a place like the World Gap?
The reason this town was chosen as the first rescue target is because it has less than half a day's worth of food left, and the town is small, making it suitable for a first-time attempt.
"Tell me, what exactly do you need me to do? Besides replenishing your magic power."
After understanding the situation, Valensa got straight to the point.
"Take a look at this first, then come with me."
Tia gave Valensa a map of the town and then led her to the first building on the edge of town.
There were people inside the building: an ordinary middle-aged farming couple and their three children. The whole family was looking at Valensa with hopeful eyes from the window, expecting this beautiful new paladin to take them home.
Valensa waved to the family inside the building with a warm, sunny smile before turning back to Tia:
"I've memorized the map, so what's next?"
"Then don't resist, I need to form a deep connection with you... like when we fought the Sin Angel together."
As Tia spoke, she took out several golden magic cards:
"Give me control of this body. You control the Noble Phantasm over there, and at the same time, try to maintain contact with this side as stably as possible."
"understood."
Valensa did as she was told.
Her original body quickly became Tia's puppet, while her own perspective switched to Nana's, and she maintained contact with her original body at the same time.
"How is it? Is it okay?"
"Yes, that's good."
Tia took a deep breath and said excitedly:
"The connection between you and your Noble Phantasm is indeed much more stable than I imagined... Now the teleportation should be error-free... Hmm, next, I want you to use the town map you just saw to control your Noble Phantasm to move to the location of this house on the original site of the town."
