Volume 2, Chapter 31 – A Body as Bait

“Is it that you all are too weak?”

Bai Lianyue tilted her head, speaking rather disdainfully.

Although removing the collar not only made Miss Evil God less confused but also allowed her to use more of the evil god’s power, until now… Bai Lian had still been consciously controlling her power release.

The reason for doing so was simple—to minimize her consciousness and body being eroded by curse power. With her body’s condition already unstable, she needed to use her power cautiously.

Therefore,

Up until now, the power Bai Lianyue had exerted was indeed only at the early stage of the Divine Departure Realm.

Hearing these words and seeing Miss Evil God’s contemptuous expression, Moande couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

“Heh, indeed… It’s been over a thousand years, I almost forgot… Although Big Brother, you were somewhat simple-minded… your fighting prowess was not to be underestimated…”

Not only was his physical ability far beyond others of the same rank, but his combat techniques were also rarely matched.

If not for this, back then, dealing with this guy wouldn’t have required such elaborate measures.

And compared to Moande’s expression of remembering everything, Bai Lianyue’s brow revealed a hint of confusion.

“But, over these thousand years, you… how did you become so weak?”

As a first-generation Celestial Augur Knight, and Bai Lianyue’s most familiar ‘brother,’ Miss Evil God naturally knew Moande’s strength well. He was an existence far more powerful than ordinary Vassal Tier Corrupted Beasts.

But now?

“…… This restricted state shouldn’t be maintained for too long… Let’s deal with this matter first.”

“First I’ll disable your limbs and cultivation, then… we can have a good chat.”

As she spoke, Bai Lianyue’s left hand, condensed from black liquid, once again decomposed, transforming into multiple dragon heads.

Fangs exposed, seemingly intending to directly tear Moande’s body apart.

However,

Faced with those terrifying black dragon heads displaying their bloody maws, even with his neck gripped, Moande showed no panic. Earlier, realizing that the evil god’s consciousness was controlled by Bai Lianyue had indeed shocked Moande.

But now, that shock had been calmed.

Meeting Bai Lianyue’s cold eyes, the red-haired man’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a meaningful expression.

“I must say, among so many souls, Big Brother, your emergence and independent control of the Terran Malevolence is quite surprising. But honestly… the evil god appearing here? I hadn’t ruled out that possibility.”

And as these words were spoken, terrifying red cracks suddenly appeared all around the medical room. A horrifying energy fluctuation was steadily rising, and then abruptly spread rapidly from the core of the flagship as its center.

Seeming to realize something, Bai Lianyue’s beautiful eyes contracted, looking at Moande in shock.

“Are you insane? Trying to commit suicide?… Eh?”

However,

When Bai Lianyue turned her head to look at Moande again…

The scene before her directly stunned her.

At this moment,

Accompanied by a slight “crack” sound suddenly coming from Moande’s neck.

This first-generation Celestial Augur Knight’s skin around his neck began to rupture, peeling off piece by piece like shattered porcelain, revealing the cold mechanical structure beneath. The metallic luster flashed with a cold gleam under the light, gears and circuits clearly visible, as if silently declaring the true nature of Moande’s body.

The next moment, Moande’s body suddenly emitted a piercing mechanical operating sound. The mechanical structure at the connection between his head and neck abruptly broke, and his head directly separated from his body, floating in the air.

Watching this scene, Miss Evil God blinked in confusion.

“So that’s it…”

The girl murmured softly.

“No wonder you’ve weakened so much, and your aura and touch feel so strange. You actually…”

“Still as slow on the uptake as ever, Brother Yue.”

After uttering these mocking words, a small rocket propulsion device suddenly extended from Moande’s neck.

Then, propelled by the thrusters, Moande’s head directly flew out through the huge crack in the medical room ceiling at an exceptional speed.

And just as Moande flew out,

The flagship’s core energy chamber

Completely lost control with a deafening roar.

“BOOM BOOM!!”

Accompanied by earth-shattering rumbling,

Under the wide-eyed gaze of countless Covenant soldiers,

In the high sky, the exploding flames, like a newborn sun, instantly devoured everything around. The scorching energy waves frantically spread outward from the flagship, and the sky was dyed a dazzling orange-red, as if even the air was burning. The core temperature of the fireball was unimaginably high, evaporating the surrounding cloud layers instantly, forming a vacuum-like domain.

And,

Everything was consumed in this scorching blaze.

As the flames continued to erupt,

Countless golden symbols suddenly appeared around that scorching sun. These symbols moved about in the air like living beings, quickly condensing into a huge golden magical array, like a sealing formation,

Enclosing the fierce fire and the evil god contained within…

Staring at that massive exploding sun and the sealing barrier forming around it,

A cold smile appeared on Moande’s head.

“Just as planned…”

As an incredibly cautious person, Moande naturally wouldn’t do something as foolish as risking his own life.

Therefore, Moande, who long knew the evil god was sensitive to his aura, how could he come to the vicinity of the Veiled Domain with his true body? The body he was controlling now was merely a replica fused with part of his soul.

As for the terrifying explosion ahead and the sealing barrier formed along with the explosion, they were preparations Moande had made long in advance.

Since the evil god had a strong obsession with him,

Wasn’t it possible that the monster would charge into the Hallowed Sigil Vessel to find him?

Considering this, Moande had converted the entire flagship into a massive trap.

As for the hundreds of soldiers on the flagship?

Sorry, couldn’t worry about that many.

“Except for Gaia Lobir’s controlling consciousness being somewhat unexpected… everything else? It’s all within expectations.”

After muttering this, Moande’s gaze became serious and sharp again. Staring intently at the explosion ahead, Moande directly issued orders through spiritual energy transmission.

He didn’t believe that such an explosion could destroy the Terran Malevolence.

–“Announce to all troops!! Gaia Lobir has appeared! She attacked and destroyed the Hallowed Sigil Vessel! Concentrate all firepower on Aegis-6 Skyzone, don’t let this monster escape! Kill this monster! Avenge our comrades!”

Meanwhile,

In the center of the explosion, indeed as Moande predicted, although Bai Lianyue had been swallowed by the explosion, under the protection of the black liquid, the girl hadn’t suffered any damage, just quietly floating within the raging flames.

Looking at the half-melted body she was gripping in her right hand, Bai Lianyue couldn’t help but furrow her brow.

“So this is a bio-synthetic fake body? Moande, this guy… as underhanded as ever.”

Biting her lip in displeasure, Bai Lianyue exerted force with her five fingers, directly crushing Moande’s false body into pieces.

Taking a deep breath and looking around at the surrounding flames, Bai Lianyue couldn’t help but raise her hand to press against her forehead.

“So now… what should we do?”

Although it seemed like she was muttering to herself, it also seemed like she was seeking advice from someone.

And as a peculiar energy fluctuation entered Bai Lianyue’s mind, the blue-haired girl somewhat helplessly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

“I know… I just hope Ai’er won’t be too angry later.”

As she sighed, deep within the girl’s dark red eyes, a pattern resembling a bellflower quietly bloomed…
