Volume 4, Chapter 69 – An Unexpected Declaration

“Duan? Who’s that… Never heard of him.”

“Is there such a person in the Valen family?”

“Doesn’t look like he’s from the Valen family. That hair and eye color are completely different from the Valen family members.”

“Didn’t they say only people from God-serving families could inherit the papal position? What’s the deal with this guy?”

“How he got there doesn’t matter anymore. The key question is, what does he want to say?”

“Of utmost importance, concerning humanity’s fate? Sounds very serious.”

“Yeah, what exactly is he going to say?”

After seeing the live broadcast from the Divine Kingdom, people from all Five Kingdoms began discussing unanimously, and the entire online world erupted in an uproar.

People were curious about and focused on two things:

The purple-haired man’s identity,

And the matter of utmost importance he mentioned.

“Something concerning fate… I have a feeling it’s not good news.”

Looking at the purple-haired man’s face projected on the screen, Shawn Ge couldn’t help but take a deep breath, instinctively feeling somewhat uneasy.

Then,

Under everyone’s tense gaze, the new Pope spoke again.

“According to reliable intelligence obtained by our faith,

“The Divine Maiden Hilgena of the Maretide Kingdom two years ago did not successfully kill the Terran Malevolence.

“The Terran Malevolence—Gaia Lobir is still alive.”

“Moreover, that monster has now disguised itself as a human, hiding within our world.”

“And the target of its disguise… is none other than the current Divine-Graced Maiden of the Westivian Covenant.”

“Lianna-Anloxi.”

With these final words, the broadcast screen clearly projected Lianna’s stunningly beautiful face.

“Madam… is, is an evil god?”

At the Lingyuan family estate, watching the projection on screen, the old butler Naro who had just returned home felt his pupils contract, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground.

He stood there in complete shock, mouth agape. The Lingyuan family servants around him all wore expressions of disbelief.

“Madam is the Terran Malevolence? You’re, you’re kidding, right?!”

“Blockhead Bai…”

Clenching his fists, Luo Fei’s expression became extremely grave at this moment.

Meanwhile,

As the new Divine Faith Pope’s words came from the screen, Triumph Square, which had been filled with a peaceful atmosphere, instantly became deathly silent. After a brief moment of stunned silence, everyone put away their smiles and tremblingly turned their gazes toward the center of the square, toward the blue-haired girl sitting in the wheelchair.

The respect in their eyes was gone, replaced by unease and suspicion.

As the person standing beside Bai Lianyue, Shawn Ge’s mood took a sharp turn for the worse, his heart beating restlessly.

The next moment,

Taking a deep breath, Shawn Ge trembled as he turned his head, looking gravely at the blue-haired girl who still appeared tired.

Unlike the others,

Shawn Ge had participated in the Terran Malevolence subjugation campaign two years ago and had even witnessed Lianna transform from human form into evil god form with his own eyes.

He had shadows in his heart.

The person they had brought back from The Veiled Domain…

was actually still the Terran Malevolence in disguise?

“Terran Malevolence… Gaia Lobir?”

Staring at Bai Lianyue’s face, Shawn Ge said anxiously.

His fists were already clenched, and the spiritual power within his body was compressed to the point of nearly exploding.

Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive, Ailiya, who was pushing the wheelchair, hurriedly shouted to Shawn Ge:

“Senior Shawn Ge!! Don’t be deceived by that person!! Mommy is just Mommy, she’s not the Terran Malevolence at all!”

Ailiya’s voice was full of grievance.

Having Lianyue’s identity exposed so suddenly was clearly beyond Ailiya’s expectations as well.

But Ailiya knew very clearly that she absolutely could not admit to this.

What she needed to do now was deny it with everything she had!

“Senior Shawn Ge! Look how fragile Mommy is! She even needs a wheelchair to go out normally!”

“How could an evil god possibly be this weak?”

“Besides, everyone knows the Terran Malevolence has enormous hostility toward Divine-Graced Maidens.”

“If Mommy really were the Terran Malevolence, how could Miya, Weiya, and I still be alive?”

“Moreover, evil gods are all vicious monsters! If Mommy really were an evil god, she would have attacked humans long ago. How could she stay here so peacefully?”

“Uh, this…”

Hearing Ailiya’s string of arguments, Shawn Ge was stunned.

After all, what Ailiya said did make some sense.

“But, but…”

As he spoke, Shawn Ge cast a hesitant glance at the giant screen behind him.

Seeing this, Ailiya continued.

“You can’t trust the Divine Faith’s words, Senior Shawn Ge! Have you forgotten that their backers are Paradise Manor? Those guys have always been targeting Mommy and us… Maybe they’re deliberately saying these things just to target us!”

“Uh, this… seems to make sense too.”

Being told this, Shawn Ge’s expression showed some wavering.

No matter what,

After thinking calmly for a moment, it wasn’t hard to see.

Although Lianna’s current behavior was very different from before, she really didn’t seem like an evil god.

An evil god raising Divine-Graced Maidens to adulthood was indeed hard to believe.

Not only Shawn Ge, but the other people nearby also calmed down somewhat after hearing Ailiya’s words.

After exchanging glances, they temporarily dispersed the spiritual power they had been preparing for defense.

Seeing this, Ailiya breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Unfortunately,

Before she could relax for long, a sudden female voice made Ailiya’s expression change drastically again.

“Whether Lady Lianna is actually Gaia Lobir in disguise—wouldn’t we know with just a test?”

?!

“Who?!”

Following the voice, Ailiya suddenly turned her head, glaring viciously at the red-robed figures standing on a nearby rooftop, glaring at the brown-haired woman leading them.

“It’s you?!”

After clearly seeing the woman’s face, Ailiya’s pupils suddenly contracted.

The person was none other than the bad woman they had encountered at the Divine Kingdom embassy, who had tried to harm the twins.

A lackey of Paradise Manor…

“What did you just mean by that?!”

Gripping the hilts of the twin swords at her waist, Ailiya stared warily at her opponent.

In response,

The brown-haired woman—Tilisa—smiled quite contemptuously:

“Hehe, Miss Ailiya, perhaps you’re being wary of the wrong person~”

As she spoke, Tilisa cast a meaningful glance toward the center of the square.

??!

Wary of the wrong person?

So it’s not her… hm?!

Seeming to sense something as well, Ailiya’s expression changed, and she immediately focused her attention on the center of the square.

The next moment, Ailiya saw a beautiful girl with long black hair and hollow eyes.

The black-haired girl stood there holding a massive scythe, emanating a terrifying aura.

The moment she saw her, Ailiya recognized her identity.

It was the same person who had

molested and taken liberties with her backstage at the auction two years ago.

“You… so you’re with Paradise Manor? What do you want to do?”

Ailiya questioned coldly.

Faced with Ailiya’s questioning, the black-haired girl remained silent.

Instead, under Ailiya’s wary gaze, she slowly raised her hand, pointing her palm toward the confused-looking Bai Lianyue.

The next moment,

A strange aura quietly rippled outward.

The black-haired girl looked down from above, speaking in a commanding tone.

“Drop your disguise, Terran Malevolence.”
