The Villain Saint is my secondary account

A crack spread from the spot where the spider's foreleg had pierced, as if the space there had shattered, accompanied by crackling noises as the gap gradually widened.

The next moment, Ye Xiao was surprised to find that the long sword he was holding tightly was burning with black flames again in the water, and the power that should have been dissolved by the seawater was gradually recovering in his limbs and bones.

This was almost unbelievable to him—this spider had ripped open this divine kingdom! ? ?

Although it was just a small gap, it disrupted the integrity of the divine kingdom, making this small area a normal part of the real world that Ye Xiao could adapt to.

Without time to delve into the information behind the Moon Goddess Spider, Ye Xiao's mind raced, and he quickly adjusted his original battle plan to focus on fighting the spider.

He observed the crack; after it initially spread a short distance, it would then slowly shrink back.

This means that God has the ability to repair himself, and the puncture wound made by the spider will not remain permanently.

However, Ye Xiao could use his mind to manipulate the spider to swim in the air, constantly creating new gaps and temporarily expanding the scope of the nullified divine kingdom.

Having understood these two points, a new strategy quickly took shape in Ye Xiao's mind.

……

Encia, transformed into a sea serpent, circled the water column in the sky, her gaze fixed on the center of the column.

She was surprised that she could sometimes sense Ye Xiao's condition in the divine kingdom, and at other times her sense was not so clear.

Ye Xiao's ability to endure inside for longer than she had imagined was somewhat beyond her expectations. For an ordinary person, by this time, their body and soul would have long since dissolved into water, merging with the deep, dark sea.

But Ye Xiao's condition... why is it so strange?

Just as Encia was puzzled, a pale white spider carrying a throwing knife suddenly poked its head out from the surface of the flowing water column in front of the snake's head, and extended its small forelegs to prick the edge of the water column.

Click, a small crack appeared.

What's this?

Encia lowered its enormous snake head and slowly approached, its eyes narrowed into cross-eyed stares at the spider, which was less than half the size of a palm, with a puzzled expression.

"is it nice?"

The next second, Ye Xiao's figure appeared instantly.

The enormous wolf claws formed a fist burning with black flames, which slammed into the curious snake's head like a cannonball.

"boom"

The muffled thud was like a thunderclap that resounded through the sky. The sea serpent let out a heart-wrenching howl and flew upside down towards the castle.

Her majestic, mountain-like body fell like a meteorite, crashing into a small part of the city.

The scorching black flames on her head spread down her body, causing her to writhe in pain on the ground. Her thick snake tail swept away several surrounding buildings.

Ye Xiao, who was falling from the sky like a shooting star, was somewhat surprised to see this.

It's no wonder it's a god; it's incredibly resilient. Anything else would have been obliterated by that punch.

Buildings collapsed one after another, and the orc citizens on the ground screamed and fled in all directions like ants on a hot plate.

After struggling for a while, Encia was completely engulfed by the black flames and remained motionless.

But as Ye Xiao's body descended and gradually approached the ground, he saw the mangled remains scorched by the dark flames and immediately realized something was wrong.

The outline of the burning flames was unusually thin, clearly resembling a huge snakeskin that had been shed.

Where did Encia go?

Ye Xiao activated his Wind Control Technique and landed lightly on a pile of ruins. His gaze immediately locked onto a huge crater in the middle of a burning snakeskin.

Good heavens, it's gone underground!?

Ye Xiao was a little nervous. He carefully felt the vibrations coming from his feet, his sharp gaze quickly swept across the street, and then he suddenly leaped up, grabbed his longsword and thrust it into the ground.

Black flames erupted from the sword that had sunk into the ground, piercing through the thick earth in an instant and striking the sea serpent's body, which was frantically crawling under it, with the precision of a pile driver.

This guy is ridiculously strong. Encia wanted to avoid the battle and crawl back underground to the area covered by the divine kingdom, but Ye Xiao had his mind in his grasp and saw through him in an instant.

"Rumble"

Although he couldn't hear the other person's screams from the ground, Ye Xiao could roughly imagine the other person's pain from the sudden, intense tremors beneath his feet.

A moment later, the wounded Encia's enormous snake head burst out from the ground beside it, opened its mouth wide, flicked its tongue, and howled.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Deep blue blood gushed out from the churned ground like a fountain. Encia twisted her body out of the ground, trying to escape along the street, but before she could crawl far, her deep blue eyes reflected the figure that filled her with utter terror.

Ye Xiao, his tall, thin shadow stretched long in the darkness by the moonlight shining down behind him, walked slowly toward Encia, carrying a flaming longsword in his hand, against the flow of fleeing people.

At that moment, the night wind swept past the other party's left arm, which was making a sun symbol in front of its chest. The lazy yet murderous voice made the poor sea serpent tremble all over.

"...That's enough, Miss Encia."

"May the Holy Maiden rest in peace."

-

(The following sections have been updated with previously repeated content.)

Encia, barely clinging to life, was incredulous.

A human, a mere mortal who could have been defeated with a flick of his wrist, slew her powerful followers, dismantled her divine kingdom, and beat her into a state of utter despair, leaving her cowering among the crumbling ruins, trembling and awaiting death.

"No...I don't want to die..."

The frail sea serpent leaned against a collapsed building. She no longer had the strength to drag her half-buried body out of the ground. She could only half-close her eyes and watch as Ye Xiao, who looked like a god of death, approached and raised his long sword.

"Lord... save me..."

The sea serpent let out a faint prayer, a desperate cry from her heart, but as Ye Xiao raised his sword and brought it down, he found that the blade seemed to have sunk into an invisible quagmire.

No matter how much force he used, the longsword remained stuck half an inch above the snake's head, its speed slowing down, yet it still couldn't get close to the snake's thick scales.

A look of surprise flashed across Ye Xiao's eyes. Then, several dark tentacles suddenly burst out of the ground, like spears piercing towards Ye Xiao's body.

He hurriedly tried to dodge, but immediately found that his feet, like the longsword, were bound by an invisible force, and he could not move an inch.

Time delay domain?

The familiar sluggishness made Ye Xiao realize that he had been hit by a spell, but his thoughts caught up with his body and it was too late to dodge. In an instant, more than a dozen tentacles pierced through his chest.

"Brother Ye!?!"

Mingya's voice came from behind. After he and Jinli landed in the castle, they rushed to the location where Ye Xiao and the sea snake were fighting.

Ye Xiao turned his head with difficulty, the overflowing blood blocking his throat and preventing him from making a sound to warn him. He could only rub the ring on his left hand to activate the spell, and suddenly a stone wall rose up in front of Ming Ya to block his steps.

He realized that this was definitely not a power possessed by the dying sea serpent before him.

Something far more terrifying has descended upon this place.

Just as the earthen wall blocked Mingya from the outside, a stream of cold, thick black water, like blood, gushed out from under the sea serpent.

"Offensive words are to tarnish the holy heart."

"A gesture of blasphemy deserves an even greater punishment."

The black water gradually spread, covering an increasingly wider area, as if the night had been overturned and reflected on this scarred land.

The sea snake, lying prone on the ground, opened its eyes wide. Instead of fear, its eyes gleamed with joy and relief.

"My Lord..."

Her hoarse voice was filled with awe.

Well, so it turns out the older one came after the younger one was beaten.

Ye Xiao clung to his last breath, carefully observing the situation of the newly emerged enemy.

Having heard those Dark Templars mention "Lydia" countless times, he was now going to take a good look at who this person bearing the name Lydia really was.

As black water gushed from the ground like a fountain, amidst the surging undercurrents, a scarlet eye slowly opened. In the mere instant his gaze met that eye, Ye Xiao felt the surrounding environment instantly plunge into endless darkness. Ruins, streets, castles, even the starry sky—everything was swallowed by darkness.

In an instant, all was silent, except for Ye Xiao, whose heart had been pierced by the tentacles, and the scarlet eyeballs that hovered several meters away, alone in this pitch-black world.

Is this an illusion? Or another divine realm?

Ye Xiao struggled to lift his heavy head, quickly analyzing his current situation in his mind.

Even in that brief glance, he sensed that the other's power far surpassed that of Encia before.

His physical and mental strength had been completely exhausted in the fight against Encia, but fortunately, he still had a "Death Rewind" technique left as a backup plan, which he might be able to use...

"Do you think your death rewind will still work here?"

Ye Xiao was startled when his thoughts were revealed in a single sentence.

He hurriedly checked his skills through the system, and the "Death Rewind" icon was clearly grayed out and could not be activated.

ha……?

Ye Xiao's expression turned slightly serious. With his second life sealed, the situation was getting worse.

I should have died earlier.

In this near-completely desperate situation, Ye Xiao could only regret not triggering the death rewind beforehand to recover some physical and mental strength.

It can only be said that I did not consider things thoroughly enough. I should have thought that Encia, as an important piece, could indeed reveal the hidden mastermind after the opponent was driven to a dead end.

But now that he knows this, he will surely put this crucial intelligence to use next time.

"You lowly ant, you will pay an eternal price for the sins you have committed..."

Due to excessive blood loss, Ye Xiao's consciousness began to blur. The black water climbed up his body along the tentacles, and the cold sensation was gradually stripping him of his physical senses.

However, just when Ye Xiao thought he would eventually belong to Ella, a drop of water suddenly fell on his head.

This should have been an extremely subtle feeling, but at this moment it seemed exceptionally clear, as if a warm current spread from the top of his head, dispelling the cold that was about to engulf him.

Ye Xiao was initially surprised when he saw the scarlet eyes, but then they suddenly widened, as if revealing some kind of joy.

"Utterly foolish, Undine... You actually used your last remaining soul to protect the followers of this false god?"

As if in response to that deep and hoarse question, a warm and gentle female voice rang out, exactly the same voice Ye Xiao had heard after placing the talisman on the koi's forehead:

"...That's why you can never understand everything."

Upon hearing this, the scarlet eyes only let out a mocking laugh.

The black water covering Ye Xiao gradually receded, and the tentacles that pierced his chest melted away as quickly as ice and snow exposed to sunlight.

The raised, dark fountain slowly sank, eventually disappearing underground without a trace.

That guy... he's gone already?

The surrounding darkness was gradually replaced by a deep blue like the ocean, as if a black canvas had been repainted.

Ye Xiao's body was enveloped in a ball of water bubbles and slowly descended to the ground, while the dying sea serpent Encia remained limp at his feet.

"Um... Thank you for saving me, Mother Goddess?"

He watched as the wound on his chest gradually healed under the nourishment of the seawater, and after thinking it over, he finally said thank you.

"No, I'm the one who should be thanking you..."

A gentle female voice rang out, and a small ball of light fell from the sky.

"You have corrected the error in this area, and the interference is no longer present... The disrupted time will return to normal, and you will soon be able to return to your own timeline."

"Is that all right?"

Ye Xiao glanced at Encia, who was lying on the ground, and asked, "Shouldn't we deal with her?"

"I can peel them away... this is the last thing I can do..."

The ball of light slowly floated above the giant snake's massive head, extending soft, pale white tentacles that, like seaweed, pierced through the hard scales covering the snake's head, pulling out a small ball of light.

As the snake's head gradually turned into dry, cracked soil and peeled away, a girl wrapped in tattered snake skin was finally revealed.

Then, the small ball of light slowly floated towards Ye Xiao and stopped in his palm.

"Encia... I'm counting on you from now on."

Undine's voice remained as calm as ever, but Ye Xiao sensed something was off.

"Mother Goddess?"

Ye Xiao frowned slightly. This tone, which sounded like someone entrusting their child to another, didn't seem like a good omen.

"To stop it, my last wisp of soul will dissipate here... From this day forward, the name Undine will cease to exist."

"But this is not your fault, human. This day was bound to come sooner or later, and thanks to your courage, at least my fall brought back my daughter."
