[Late Night Snack: Everyone, retreat now! Run as far away as possible!]
No sooner had Ye Xiao sent the message than the corpse that had been floating silently in the sky suddenly opened its mouth and let out a piercing scream.
"Lydia!!!"
The sound waves spread across the sky like invisible ripples, and the holy light that filled the entire sky suddenly trembled.
It was as if all the stars in the sky had turned into shooting stars and fallen, with countless orbs of light trailing fiery tails crashing towards Wind Chaser Fortress.
Ella slammed her hands on the ground, and the "Gateway to the Abyss" spell was immediately activated.
Like endless black silt transforming into ocean waves, surging in all directions, countless black tentacles sprouted from them to protect everyone in the castle.
But the golden meteors falling from the sky covered such a wide area that not only Wind Chaser Fortress on the mountaintop was smashed, but half of the cliff was also shattered.
In that instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, creating a terrifying scene resembling the end of the world.
The half-dead saintess, clearly a corpse, gazed down at the destroyed world with lifeless eyes, her lips twisted into a horrifying screech.
But the next moment, the mountain collapsed, and in the dense smoke and dust, a black flame shot into the sky in an instant.
The enormous tentacles dispelled the surrounding shimmering light and stretched majestically from the mountaintop.
From a distance, it looks like a giant black lotus flower blooming on the collapsed half of the cliff.
"Lydia!!!"
The fake saintess, now a corpse, let out a piercing scream; even now, this damned woman was still trying to stop her.
If you listen closely, you'll find that the fake saintess's voice is completely different from Ella's; it's no longer that light and gentle girlish tone, but rather the sharp cry of an infant.
Golden radiance emanated from the false saintess, instantly transforming into countless meteors that crashed down upon the black lotus on the ground.
Even the piled-up tentacles couldn't withstand such intense bombardment, and were blasted apart layer by layer by the dense holy light, about to touch the people protected at the center.
Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Tactic to Lure the Enemy
Surging tentacles crawled overhead, like an ocean turned upside down, covering the sky.
Ella crouched down, pressing her hands to the ground, trying her best to support the black tide that enveloped the entire mountain in the center of the ruins.
Ye Xiao then walked up to the Holy Knights, who were struggling to maintain their balance in the turbulent mud, and asked, "So, even now, you still choose to believe in that corpse in the sky?"
The Templar Knights exchanged bewildered glances, while Augustus presented his greatsword with both hands and knelt towards Ella, saying, "...The blame lies with me; I was deceived by illusions. Augustus is willing to accept judgment."
"What good is it for me to put you through this trial?" Ye Xiao's lips twitched as he pointed to the sky. "Get up and get to work! Move all those nobles who can't walk out of there. Can't you see Ella is about to collapse?!"
……
The citizens of Storm Harbor were horrified as they looked at the apocalyptic scene on the cliffs of South City.
The sky was covered by dark clouds, and the holy light transformed into a meteor shower that annihilated everything.
The dazzling and spectacular explosion washed away the mud flowing on the mountaintop, like a judgment spear personally hurled down by the God of Light.
Finally, as the streams of light gradually converged, the more concentrated bombardment pierced through the center of the black lotus, breaking through the tough outer shell formed by the clustered tentacles, and even penetrating the other side of the mountain.
This mountain, which had stood on the island of Nancheng for a thousand years, also collapsed in the rushing holy light.
The black lotus, which had stood firm for so long, resembled a withered flower, its disintegrating tentacles wrapped in silt, flowing into the sea along the edge of the giant crater blasted by the holy light meteor at the mountain peak.
The fake saintess in the sky waved her hand, and the holy light falling from the sky stopped at that moment.
Her pale body, stitched together, slowly came back to life in the halo of light. Her swollen belly gradually deflated and returned to normal, and her face, which looked like it was pieced together from rotten flesh, gradually regained its girlish appearance.
Holy Light possesses healing properties, but it is never a true "living being." Therefore, it can only continuously use its authority of light to heal the pieced-together body, giving it the illusion of "life."
But this healing process was only halfway through when it was forcibly interrupted by something unknown.
His face became a bizarre sight, half beautiful and charming and the other half pale and rotten.
"Damn it! Why did you have to make me show such a hideous appearance!" The fake saintess touched her cheeks, which were becoming rosy, and with golden wings sprouting from her back, she slowly descended from the dimly lit sky dotted with starlight. "Lydia, are you satisfied now?"
Lydia is Ella's real name, and it's clear that the fake saintess is very familiar with Ella.
Meanwhile, in the center of the ravine, the silver-haired girl's mangled body lay in a patch of black mud.
Her body was covered in tiny tentacles that were trying to repair the gruesome wounds, but patches of golden light clung to them, as if constantly burning and preventing the wounds from healing.
With a wave of her hand, the false saintess caused the golden light to condense into pointed chains that pierced through Ella's torso and limbs, then intertwined with her.
Then a long spear formed of golden light burst out of the ground beneath Ella, piercing her chest and lifting her petite body off the ground.
Despite all this, the fake saintess remained cautious, merely touching the ugly half of her face with her hand and looking at Ella from a distance of about five or six meters: "I know very well that this won't kill you, so there's no need to pretend to be so powerless."
"Heh." Ella raised her head slightly after hearing this.
Although the spearhead formed of holy light was still protruding from her chest, the silver-haired girl's expression remained calm and serene.
"I still don't understand, what is our relationship that makes you hate me so much?"
“Of course you don’t need to understand,” the fake saint gritted her teeth. “You’ve received all of His grace, what do you need to understand?”
Ella silently gazed into the other's deep blue eyes, which seemed to hold all the hatred in the world. "Heh, fine."
"You can only be smug now, Lydia." The false saint slowly raised a hand, her five fingers spread. "Your arrogance makes you care about those boring ants, but you've handed yourself over to me."
Indeed, if Ella hadn't covered the entire mountain with mud and tentacles, but only used them to protect herself, even the countless holy meteors probably wouldn't have been able to touch her at all.
Not to mention that Ella was beaten into her current miserable state and had her divine power sealed by chains formed of holy light.
This is why the fake saintess initially planned to run away, but when she could no longer escape, she decided to fight to the death and unleash all her power, thinking she could take as much as she could with her before she died.
She thought this was her last struggle, but she never expected that this guy would still endure the bombardment of the holy light meteor in order to protect those ants.
"How foolish! This time, I will banish you from this world completely!"
"Then find those mortal beings you saved and make them, along with your avatar, perish with them!!"
"Holding the power of light and saying such things, aren't you afraid of divine retribution?" Ella's lips twitched.
"Ha, do you really think that any deity other than you would care about these pathetic ants?" the fake saintess scoffed. "Only fools would believe in so-called divine punishment."
After she finished speaking, she clenched her five fingers in the air, and a golden magic circle suddenly unfolded beneath Ella's feet.
A dazzling pillar of light rose majestically, just like the feeling when she was killed by the Moon Goddess's Kingdom. Ella suddenly felt as if her soul was being gradually pulled out of her body by something.
The world's scenes became blurred, and all sounds seemed to fade into the distance.
"You died in the exact same way as you did in the Fog Forest. It seems you're a fool who never learns from your mistakes."
Only now did the fake saintess finally reveal a victorious smile.
As long as this damn guy doesn't stop her, her revenge plan will succeed sooner or later.
From now on, this world will become her blasphemous sacrifice!
But in the next moment, the fake saintess suddenly noticed that the silver-haired girl who was about to die was being burned by the holy light, but she still had a smile on her lips.
A sudden sense of unease made her take a step back in surprise, only to find herself stepping on something round and plump.
What is this...?
Before the fake saintess could react, a figure had already appeared beside her.
Phase Shift, Draw Sword Slash.
To the astonishment of the fake saintess, Ye Xiao, wielding a fire blade engulfed in burning black holy flames, once again cleaved her body in two.
But unlike before, this time Ye Xiao aimed at the fake saintess's abdomen.
The baby's cry... the swollen belly... the stitched-up body...
The outer body is just a fake shell glued together with the power of the God of Light; the real body of this guy is actually the baby hidden in his belly.
That's why Ye Xiao's earlier slash at the neck failed to kill the fake saintess.
Upon seeing the other party's true form appear in the sky, Ye Xiao's mind raced and he immediately realized what was happening.
Next, the staff was hidden under the mud as a trap, allowing Ella to lure the enemy in while buying time for the others to evacuate from the mountain.
Last time, Ella had no choice but to sacrifice herself to save everyone.
But this time, there were two of them.
Chapter Ninety-Nine Mixed Doubles
The fake saintess screamed and fell to the ground, as holy light gathered from all directions, attempting to repair her broken body.
But the black flames burned fiercely, and eventually a bloody infant's body fell out from the wound in its abdomen.
The baby was attached to a sewn-up prosthetic body by a long umbilical cord, and black flames were burning on its shriveled body.
"Wow——!!!"
The piercing cry seemed to shatter eardrums. Then, the gathered holy light poured into the baby's body, causing it to grow bigger and bigger like an inflated balloon, with its thin limbs gradually swelling as well.
In no time, the tiny baby swelled up to the size of a small mountain under the surrounding holy light.
A slit-like eye opened on its round head, and a black flame-smoldering cut mark remained on its forehead, burning incessantly.
A toothless mouth, like an open void, emitted a sharp sound filled with resentment and anger:
"Lydia!!!"
It's clear that she really hates Ella.
Meanwhile, Ella's chains had been severed by Ye Xiao's blade. She patted the blood off her body, and her wounds slowly healed under the cover of black sludge.
She took the long sword Ye Xiao handed her, smiled and exchanged a glance with him, then turned around, and the two of them looked together at the giant infant enveloped in golden light, whose body was constantly changing.
As mentioned before, overuse of divine power will backfire.
Now, the backlash from the false saintess is becoming increasingly severe, causing even her own body to begin showing signs of corruption.
This corruption from the authority of light is probably the first of its kind in the world.
"I've thought about it, and you're right. No god cares about the living beings in the mortal world."
The silver-haired girl parted her thin lips slightly and walked slowly alongside Ye Xiao.
Under the cover of dark clouds, holy light, like stars, danced across the sky, illuminating the tiny figures of the two in the enormous crater.
The swollen baby lay on the ground, staring intently at them, its face almost contorted with rage.
"Therefore, there will be a royal city in chaos, a seaport on the verge of destruction... Hell will descend upon the world, and the holy city will meet its end."
"And I have never been able to guarantee saving everything, nor have I ever considered myself an omnipotent god."
"But none of that matters. Because for you, having me in this life is enough."
"The people you killed, the villages you destroyed, the creatures you corrupted, and all the disasters you created..."
"That's all for now."
Ella and Ye Xiao raised their long swords at the monstrous infant that the fake saintess had transformed into, and amidst the chaotic downpour, they spoke in unison:
“False saintess, in the name of the Imperial Law and the Holy Temple, I will put you to trial.”
"Didn't you just say there's no divine punishment in this world?"
"Now, as you wish, I will become your divine punishment!"
At the same moment, the monstrous infant also let out a piercing, hateful roar at the two of them, "Die!!!"
The rain was torrential, and dark clouds covered the sun.
At the bottom of the dark and wide ravine, two tiny figures weaved through the shimmering light of the flowing water, encountering the monstrous infant as imposing as a mountain.
With a heart-wrenching roar, the monstrous infant swung its massive arms toward two figures dressed in black.
Ye Xiao and Ella simultaneously dodged the blow by shifting to the left and right before the large hand landed.
Two long swords were drawn simultaneously, their blades gleaming with a cold light as they sliced through the muscular arms.
The monstrous infant let out a painful howl, and the holy light floating around it instantly turned into a shooting star and fell, sweeping towards the two people on the ground.
Ye Xiao lowered his head, bent over, and pushed off the ground with both feet, transforming into a black shadow that shot out like an arrow, skimming along the ground to avoid the beam of light that grazed his head. He then gripped his sword with both hands and delivered a horizontal slash to the monstrous infant's bloated abdomen.
Ella's lithe figure stepped on the baby monster's severed arm, and with a somersault, she passed through the gap between the flying meteors, slashing the baby monster's head with a blade trailing black flames.
The almost simultaneous impact from above and below caused the strange infant to lose its balance, screaming and collapsing to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
But the holy light that appeared in the surrounding air seemed endless, and immediately poured into the baby monster's body, helping her heal her injuries.
