Volume 4, Chapter 72 – Xing Wu’s Doubts and Paradise Manor’s Orders

“Lianna-Anloxi, that former legendary Divine-Graced Maiden was disguised by an evil god? Gaia Lobir is actually still alive?!”

“It’s not disguise—it should be said that the real Lianna died ten years ago. After that, she was impersonated by the Terran Malevolence.”

“Really?!”

“It has to be true! There’s video evidence! And I was there at the scene! I saw that monster unleash her power with my own eyes.”

“An evil god… actually disguised herself as a Divine-Graced Maiden’s mother? The Covenant government didn’t even notice?! What the hell have they been doing?!”

“Regretting it now is useless. The main thing is… what exactly has that evil god been doing while lurking in the Covenant for so many years?”

“Right, what about Ailiya and the others? Are they also monsters in disguise?”

“Probably not… but they’re said to be brainwashed. They’re currently being controlled by the Covenant.”

At this moment,

With the announcement of the Divine Faith’s new Pope and the spread of the video from Triumph Square, the entire online news world could be said to have completely exploded.

Praise for the Divine Faith was one aspect,

But more citizens were shocked by the horrifying fact that the Terran Malevolence was still alive, and felt extremely uneasy about her years of lurking.

After all, that was an evil god.

The source of all disasters, the monster that had nearly driven humanity to extinction over a millennium.

For such a monster to have lurked in the human world for so many years, there must be some terrible purpose!

Countless people strongly demanded that the Covenant government cooperate with the Divine Faith to investigate what the Terran Malevolence had been doing all these years.

At the same time, many people even demanded that the three Ailiya sisters be dealt with!

In their view, children raised by an evil god were definitely not good people.

For a moment,

The three Ailiya sisters, who just days ago had been praised by major media as humanity’s future stars of hope, had now directly become objects of everyone’s contempt.

The speed of this stance reversal was shocking.

However, the online uproar had no effect on Bai Xingwu…

After all,

Reαd οո ΚаtRеαԁinɡСαfе

As a “puppet” without self-awareness, under daily surveillance, she had no opportunity to learn about what was happening online.

Moreover,

She now had more important matters to handle.

At this moment,

In the highest-level underground restricted zone of the Covenant capital Clavino.

Countless Covenant guards were holding their breath with grave expressions, standing alert.

Nervous sweat was even uncontrollably sliding down their foreheads.

The reason these guards were so anxious was simple—they were currently guarding a very terrifying existence.

The Terran Malevolence—Gaia Lobir.

However?

Calling it “guarding” might not be quite appropriate.

These guards all understood clearly… this monster wasn’t something they could contain.

If she really went berserk, they’d be dead in minutes.

What they could do…

Was at most pull the alarm before dying.

No one was eager to die, so while monitoring the Terran Malevolence’s situation, the guards would occasionally turn their attention to that expressionless black-haired girl.

Praying that she could successfully suppress the evil god.

Not letting this monster rampage…

And this black-haired girl silently standing in the center of the restricted zone platform was naturally Bai Xingwu.

As the only person who could suppress Gaia Lobir, she had to stay by the evil god’s side at all times.

At this moment,

Gazing at the blue-haired girl before her who was bound by countless golden chains and floating in mid-air with her eyes tightly closed, a trace of bewilderment flashed through Xing Wu’s deliberately vacant eyes.

Reаⅾ оո ΚаtRеaⅾіոgСafe

—”This guy… the Terran Malevolence… Gaia Lobir?”—

If she hadn’t personally felt that terrifyingly absurd curse power fluctuation, Xing Wu would find it impossible to connect this seemingly harmless girl with the world’s greatest calamity.

An evil god,

Actually taking human form and mixing in the human world.

Moreover,

That girl called Ailiya…

In that situation, she still tried to protect the evil god?

“It seems she wasn’t deceived, but knew her mother’s true identity from the beginning.”

But why protect an evil god?

Also,

How does she know Bai Ling Determination?

Thinking about Ailiya, Xing Wu’s mind filled with confusion.

Of course,

What confused her most was undoubtedly her own situation.

Secretly glancing with peripheral vision at her reflection in a nearby mirror, Xing Wu felt increasingly puzzled.

She knew that

Regarding controlling the evil god, Xing Wu had always harbored doubts.

Even until now…

Xing Wu still didn’t quite dare believe that she had actually controlled Gaia Lobir.

When she told her to unleash power, she unleashed it?

When she told her to be quiet, she became quiet?

Compared to the Sky and Sea evil gods, the Terran Malevolence’s previous behavior was too obedient…

Reαⅾ oո КαtReaԁіոɡСαfe

So obedient that Bai Xingwu sensed it was extremely unreal.

If the Terran Malevolence wasn’t really locked in the restricted zone now, Xing Wu would seemingly be unable to accept this fact.

“But fundamentally… what gives me the ability to control an evil god?”

Gazing at the Terran Malevolence’s falsely crafted face, Xing Wu’s heart grew increasingly complex.

Ailiya who could use Bai Ling Determination;

The evil god mother who raised her;

And… at that time, this monster’s gaze.

Recalling the scene when she mobilized Augury Force to control the Terran Malevolence, strange thoughts involuntarily emerged in Xing Wu’s heart.

She was certain that

When Gaia Lobir’s eyes met hers, there was no trace of hatred or hostility in those eyes…

What was there instead was…

??!!

Huh?!

However, just as Xing Wu was desperately recalling and contemplating, the movement of the blue-haired girl before her suddenly made her freeze.

The evil god,

Moved?!

After realizing the Terran Malevolence was stirring, Bai Xingwu’s pupils suddenly contracted. A massive black scythe was summoned and gripped tightly in her hand, with powerful Augury Force released accordingly.

It was clearly a defensive stance as if facing a great enemy.

The surrounding guards, seeing this, suddenly became extremely tense.

However,

Just when Bai Xingwu thought this dazed Terran Malevolence was finally going to violently resist, Gaia Lobir’s reaction once again exceeded Xing Wu’s expectations.

She didn’t mobilize curse power, and didn’t even attempt to break free from the purification chains’ restraints.

Rеaԁ οո KаtReаⅾіngСαfe

She

Simply slowly opened her eyes and met her gaze.

What shocked Xing Wu even more was…

There was still no killing intent or hatred in the evil god’s eyes.

What was there instead was a trace of incredible gentleness and indulgence… along with a sense of familiarity.

The moment their gazes met, Bai Xingwu’s pupils suddenly contracted.

You,

You are…

“What’s happening?!”

With the opening of the restricted area’s gates, Tilisa in red robes quickly arrived at the restricted zone followed by several Blood Guards, casting sharp eyes toward the sleeping Terran Malevolence.

“I just received an alarm. What happened?!”

Tilisa looked coldly at Xing Wu and demanded an explanation.

Facing this question, Xing Wu replied with an unchanged expression and flat tone.

“Nothing. The Terran Malevolence just stretched, and has already been suppressed.”

“Stretched? Hehe~, still as drowsy as always.”

Glancing at the blue-haired girl who still had her eyes tightly closed, Tilisa snorted disdainfully and looked contemptuously at the nearby trembling Covenant guards.

A series of alarms had made her think there was a problem with the suppression.

And this was the result?

“Making a fuss over nothing… Well, since I’m already here.”

Saying this, Tilisa slowly approached Xing Wu’s side and spoke indifferently:

“Lord Duan has sent new orders.”

“Transport the Terran Malevolence… back to the Divine Kingdom.”
