PS: Thanks for the monthly votes, adding another extra chapter

In the sky above the eastern border of the Veiled Domain,

A girl with an extraordinary aura, completely enveloped in blue-crystal energy, hovered high in the air.

Dressed in a water-blue military skirt that fluttered fiercely in the high-altitude winds, outlining her slender yet powerful waist. Mech armor clung tightly to her delicate body, the silvery-gray metallic luster complementing her skin, displaying both technological power and adding a touch of cold beauty to her aura.

Her gray hair danced wildly in the wind, crystal-blue eyes flashing with cold and majestic light, as if able to penetrate all illusions and look directly into the enemy’s soul.

This extraordinary girl emanating a powerful Augury Force aura was the reinforcement requested by the Xiweiva Covenant from the Maretide Kingdom.

One of the current Divine-Graced Maidens—Hilgena.

Gazing at the chaotic battlefield below, shrouded in ash-gold lightning and terrifying curse power, this Divine-Graced Maiden unhesitatingly gathered her divine-graced power.

“The Lord’s guidance will save lost souls; the Lord’s light will dispel the world’s darkness; …the Lord’s power will annihilate the source of evil…”

With each devout chant, the powerful blue Augury Force around Hilgena surged frantically, like an endless ocean awakening within her.

The next moment,

When the gray-haired girl raised her hand again, this power suddenly condensed into four enormous light swords, each emitting a heart-palpitating pressure. The sword blades flickered with brilliant blue light, and where the sword points aimed, the air seemed to be torn apart, space began to distort, emitting a deep humming sound.

“Now, let’s settle this, Compassion.”

Looking down at the cat-shaped Corrupted Beast in the ruins below, primarily black with some gold patterns outlined on it, Hilgena said coldly.

She,

Was the one destined to defeat the evil god.

To confront the Terran Malevolence, she needed to conserve more power.

Therefore, Hilgena had no intention of spending too much time on a Vassal.

With this in mind, Hilgena raised her left hand high, and under the pull of her power, the four giant swords were immediately poised to strike, their blades pointing directly at the Vassal below.

“Sword of Punishment, Flames Return… Huh??!”

However,

Just as Hilgena was about to launch her attack, Compassion below suddenly erupted with terrifying lightning…

Yet, this release of power from Compassion wasn’t for a preemptive strike against Hilgena, but for… escape…

Yes, escape…

In the next instant,

Before Hilgena could react, the black cat transformed into a bolt of lightning and suddenly rushed toward the interior of the Veiled Domain, quickly disappearing completely from Hilgena’s perception field.

“Eh?!”

As Hilgena realized what happened, she blinked in confusion.

“How did it, just, just run away?”

That was a monster that had once single-handedly repelled three Celestial Augur Knights…

How did it flee so easily?

Hmm,

Must be because I’m too strong?

Indeed,

Before the Lord’s power, all evil spirits can only flee in defeat.

After clenching her fist, Hilgena’s confidence swelled even further.

So next…

“Gaia Lobir, let’s see how long you can hide…”

Rubbing her hands together, Hilgena was now actually looking forward to Gaia Lobir’s appearance.

Just as this Divine-Graced Maiden from the Maretide Kingdom was talking to herself, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the distant flagship.

“Eh?!”

—”BOOM!!

Rеαԁ оո КαtRеaԁіոɡСafе

Accompanied by a thunderous noise, a massive fireball soared into the sky, its scorching light instantly illuminating the entire horizon, as if even the sun had been overshadowed at this moment. Immediately after, a beam of ice-blue laser, condensed from curse power, shot out from the center of the explosion, moving at a speed that made it difficult to react.

The laser, like a ferocious giant snake carrying destructive energy, directly passed by Hilgena’s side. Her pupils contracted sharply, her body instinctively flashing backward, but the scorching aura still made her heart palpitate. Her gray hair waved violently in the aftermath of the laser, and the surface of her mech armor was even burned with a faint scorch mark.

Looking at the several mountains in the distance that had been directly pulverized by the laser, Hilgena’s expression changed dramatically, a flash of shock and unease passing through her previously calm and confident gaze.

The girl quickly stabilized her posture and hurriedly turned her head to stare intently in the direction the laser had come from.

“What’s going on?!”

There?

That’s the flagship Hallowed Sigil Vessel?!

What happened?!

Why did an Abyss Curse Death Ray suddenly erupt from the flagship?

And, this aura…

At that moment, a strong sense of unease continuously welled up in Hilgena’s heart.

“Evil God?!”

Meanwhile,

In the medical room of the Covenant Command Vessel, with the eruption of the ice-blue Abyss Curse Death Ray, a huge hole was directly blasted through the entire ship.

Through that massive crater, Moande inadvertently took in the sight of several mountains in the distance that had been reduced to dust, and a rare hint of panic seeped through his typically calm and composed face.

—”Haven’t used my power for five years… I’m a bit rusty, did I miss?”

Seeing that her attack had actually missed, Miss Evil God tilted her head, muttering somewhat unhappily.

And as she muttered, the black liquid dancing around Bai Lianyue once again transformed into dragon heads, and within the dragons’ mouths, ice-blue light orbs began to rapidly condense.

Sensing the terrifying power emanating from the light orbs, Moande’s expression changed dramatically, and he anxiously roared at the soldiers who had just arrived as reinforcements:

“What are you looking at?! Hurry up and stop this monster!”

Hearing this, all the soldiers, including Shawn Ge, simultaneously showed reluctant expressions.

To directly confront and stop the Terran Malevolence?

This was obviously not a rational approach.

But sensing the rapidly condensing power, Shawn Ge, as a Celestial Augur Knight, couldn’t afford to think too much. He released all his spiritual energy and charged forward.

“Don’t act so recklessly here! Gaia Lobir!”

With his roar, Shawn Ge threw a punch at Bai Lianyue. That punch, covered in metal, enhanced by firepower and spiritual energy… had enough force to shake mountains, seemingly able to crush any enemy in its path. Just the spiritual energy’s expansion created a powerful impact that further tore the flagship apart.

However,

Bai Lianyue, like a light leaf, slightly shifted her body at the moment the fist was about to touch her, elegantly dodging this terrifying blow. Her movement was smooth and natural, as if she had already predicted Shawn Ge’s attack trajectory. Just as Shawn Ge’s fist brushed past her side, a cold red light flashed in her eyes.

Immediately after,

Bai Lianyue’s right foot kicked out like lightning, precisely hitting Shawn Ge’s right knee. With a “crack,” the steel armor and protective spiritual energy on Shawn Ge’s right leg suddenly collapsed, the intense impact directly striking his bones.

In an instant, the severe pain caused Shawn Ge’s face to change, and his body’s balance was immediately disrupted, involuntarily leaning forward. At this moment, the blue-haired girl delivered a high kick to Shawn Ge’s abdomen.

“Bang!”

With a dull impact sound, Shawn Ge’s body was kicked high into the air, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. But that wasn’t all…

The next moment, Miss Evil God’s right leg drew a sharp arc in the air, then forcefully chopped down, like a battle axe, heavily smashing into Shawn Ge’s head.

“Boom!”

“Cough, cough!”

Accompanied by blood splattering, Shawn Ge’s body crashed to the ground like a meteorite, directly tearing open a large hole in the metal floor, with his entire body embedded in it. This Celestial Augur Knight hadn’t even displayed much of his powerful combat strength before being rendered half-unconscious by Bai Lianyue.

Of course, the battle hadn’t ended.

Earlier, under Shawn Ge’s leadership, the surrounding soldiers had already angrily charged toward Bai Lianyue. After dealing with Shawn Ge, Bai Lianyue simply snapped her fingers…

“Snap~”

Curse power surged and spread, and the black liquid around her surged violently, transforming into countless black bandages, dancing in the air like spirit snakes.

“Whip! Whip! Whip!”

The black bandages, with piercing sounds breaking through the air, instantly lashed out at the charging soldiers. Each strike was extremely precise and powerfully forceful. The soldiers, like small boats hit by huge waves, were all whipped away, crashing heavily to the ground, directly falling unconscious…

Although she found these people quite annoying, Miss Evil God had no intention of killing them, merely choosing to temporarily disable their combat abilities.

However,

Just as Bai Lianyue knocked away the last person, a spear enveloped in white fierce flames ferociously attacked, stabbing sharply toward the back of Bai Lianyue’s head.

Yet,

As if Bai Lianyue had eyes on the back of her head, without even looking, she simply lowered her head and dodged this powerful strike.

In the next instant,

The black liquid floating in the air rapidly condensed on Bai Lianyue’s left wrist, transforming back into the girl’s left hand. Then this left hand constructed of black liquid directly grabbed the spear shaft and pulled it forcefully backward.

“Hmm?”

Moande, who had just launched the attack, hadn’t had time to react before being pulled forward with the spear.

Then, a slender small hand swiftly attacked, mercilessly grasping Moande’s neck and lifting him high into the air.

“Having your teammates sell you out, then sneaking up from behind? Red Hair Kid, you’re still as fond as ever of playing these underhanded tricks.”

Looking at Moande, whose neck she was gripping, Miss Bai Lianyue said with contempt.

To this,

Moande returned a disdainful look.

“Underhanded? You’re already using an evil god’s power to bully people… what’s wrong with me ambushing…”

“Evil god’s power? Bullying people?”

Hearing this, Bai Lianyue raised her eyebrows, a rare hint of innocence flowing through her dark red eyes.

“Sorry, don’t misunderstand… I haven’t used any Evil God Tier power… I just used strength equivalent to the early stage of the Divine Departure Realm… It’s you all who are too weak… okay?”
