Volume 5, Chapter 0.1 – Prologue – Part I

Within the borders of the Divine Kingdom, in the area where the former Nether Palace was located.

A black silhouette surrounded by powerful curse power fluctuations quietly descended from the sky, landing at this former Paradise Manor stronghold in the Divine Kingdom.

In the past, even if Yelena could pass through the Guardian Domain, she would inevitably face terrible attacks from Paradise Manor upon reaching their territory.

But now?

Since all of the Nether Palace’s defensive forces had been wiped out by Bai Lianyue, and the entire Nether Palace had been reduced to ruins, Yelena’s landing went very smoothly.

As soon as she landed, Yelena glared viciously behind her, at the silver-haired Divine Maiden who had followed her here.

“Ailiya, didn’t I tell you not to come?”

Yelena wanted to scold her, but after seeing the anxious and uneasy expression on Ailiya’s face, the Black Witch resignedly let out a sigh.

“Fine… Since you’re here, help me search properly.”

“Mm.”

Ailiya nodded gravely while looking around.

After this, Yelena and Ailiya expanded their sensing domains, doing their utmost to search for traces of Bai Lianyue.

The result was predictable.

No matter how hard the two searched, they still couldn’t find any trace of Bai Lianyue’s aura.

The evil god seemed to have simply vanished into thin air.

Not only Bai Lianyue, but the auras of Celestial Blight Ulutiel and that unknown powerful figure had also completely disappeared without a trace.

“Could Lianyue have…”

Biting her lip, tears began to well up in little Ailiya’s eyes. Worried emotions spread rapidly through her heart like a virus.

However, Ailiya’s thoughts were directly denied by Yelena.

“Don’t overthink it. Big Sister is fine. We can sense it.”

There was a special connection between vassals and evil gods.

Big Sister was definitely fine.

But if she was fine… where had she gone?

Hm?

Just as Yelena’s mind was racing with thoughts, a familiar aura that she found quite disgusting quietly entered her sensing domain.

Frowning, Yelena quickly turned toward the distance.

In the next moment, under the Black Witch’s slightly startled gaze, a thick arm broke through the earth… followed by a man with red and black mixed hair who looked particularly disheveled climbing out from underground.

Of course, if Paradise Manor had any survivors, they would probably be shocked to discover that this man crawling out of the ruins was none other than Sixth Ancestor Genovis, who had been missing throughout the entire battle.

“You’re actually still alive?”

Yelena said with some surprise.

After all, the previous explosion had been too terrifying. Yelena had thought that Genovis and his backup bodies had all been caught up in it and completely annihilated.

She hadn’t expected this guy to still be alive.

To this, Genovis bit his lip and said while panting:

“I still had some clone reserves… not that easy to kill…”

Glaring at Yelena and scanning the surroundings, Genovis couldn’t help but clench his fists with overwhelming hatred.

He was well aware that the destruction of Nether Palace was inseparably connected to him.

As an Ancestor, Genovis naturally didn’t want to betray Lord Astral… but…

Pressing the spot on his chest where Yelena had planted the Bellflower mark, Genovis bit his lip unwillingly.

“Black Witch… I’ve already helped you so much according to our agreement!! Can you remove the evil god contract mark from my body now?”

If he didn’t erase this mark that appeared due to the Salvation Game, he would forever be subject to the monsters of the Terrabond Lineage.

Facing Genovis’s roar, Yelena helplessly shook her head:

“Sorry, I can’t remove it.”

Though the words sounded helpless, they also contained a hint of mockery.

Hearing this, Genovis’s forehead veins bulged as he roared:

“Didn’t you Terrabond Lineage claim to be the most trustworthy?!! I’ve already helped you guide Duan to return Bai Xingwu’s soul and purify Gaia Lobir! Isn’t that enough?”

“We are certainly trustworthy… but Genovis, you need to know that evil god marks can only be removed by Big Sister. We can’t remove them.”

Of course, even if she could remove it… Yelena had no intention of doing so.

The Terrabond Lineage was trustworthy, but it depended on who the target was.

If it was those beasts from House Solrog, Yelena had no intention of keeping her word.

However, the Black Witch wasn’t planning to reveal this to Genovis yet, since this Sixth Ancestor was still useful.

“And as you can see, we can’t find our Big Sister right now. Naturally, we have no way to remove the mark.”

“This…”

“If we could find Big Sister, naturally we could. You… know where our Big Sister went, right?”

Yelena’s eyes narrowed slightly as she stared sharply at Genovis.

“…”

Being questioned like this, Genovis fell into brief silence.

Finally, Genovis chose to temporarily submit to his new master.

“She went to another world.”

“So that’s how it is…”

Yelena’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The Black Witch wasn’t surprised by this result. After confirming that Bai Lianyue’s aura had suddenly disappeared, Yelena had already suspected this.

Another world… that world closely connected to ours?

“How do we get to that world?”

“You want to go there? It’s not that easy.”

“Doesn’t your House Solrog control a passage?”

“That may be true… but in those two waves of energy conflict just now, the spatial passage has already collapsed. It’s not easy to reopen it.”

Speaking, Genovis couldn’t help but glance contemptuously at Yelena and Ailiya:

“With your level of power, you can’t break through.”

That tunnel connecting the two worlds had taken their House Solrog hundreds of years to stabilize using the power of the First Savior and the Heart of the World.

Though the Black Witch was powerful, she was still far from having the ability to do this.

However, being unable to open the spatial tunnel wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Glancing around with the corner of his eye, Genovis narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

His actions had caused Paradise Manor to suffer huge losses, and both Duan and Visarion were dead. Once the True Ancestor saw him, he would definitely be killed.

If the True Ancestor couldn’t come over, wouldn’t he not have to worry about these things?

Moreover, if the Terran Malevolence was in the other world… the Bellflower mark of Gaia Lobir in his body probably wouldn’t have such strong binding power, right?

In that case…

At this moment, Genovis’s eyes carried a barely perceptible murderous intent as he glanced at Yelena and Ailiya.

Being enslaved and used like a dog despite his status as an Ancestor – this grudge must be repaid!

However, just as Genovis was thinking this…

—”BOOM—!”—

Accompanied by a thunderous roar, a purple light suddenly tore through everyone’s perception, falling like a meteor from high altitude and crashing heavily into nearby ruins.

Along with the meteor’s descent came suffocating and despairing curse power pressure. The moment they felt that aura, Genovis’s expression changed drastically, cold sweat flowing from his forehead. Yelena and Ailiya in the distance were the same, since this cold and powerful aura… clearly didn’t belong to an ordinary vassal.

In the next moment, under the tense and grave gazes of the three, a tall, beautiful girl with flowing pink hair and wearing a single shell-shaped eyepatch walked step by step out of the smoke and dust. The girl was none other than Abyssal Lord Polarvitan, who had just arrived from the Maretide Kingdom.

After arriving at the Nether Palace ruins, Polarvitan narrowed her eyes and scanned the surroundings, sensing everything around her.

As her curse power perception gave feedback, Polarvitan clenched her fists tightly, her sharp nails piercing directly into her flesh as blue blood slowly dripped down.

“The old hag’s and the little bitch’s auras… are both gone? Where the hell did those two run off to?”

Being unable to find those two targets put Polarvitan in quite a bad mood.

At this time, Polarvitan also noticed a disgusting aura.

After glancing toward the dumbstruck Genovis nearby, thick disgust overflowed from the Abyssal Lord’s pupils.

“Solrog bloodline? How revolting…”

The moment Polarvitan looked at him, Genovis felt a chill down his spine, as if his entire soul had been frozen.

No, this was bad!

Hastily mobilizing his spiritual power, Genovis intended to flee.

Unfortunately, before his spiritual power could be mobilized, the Abyssal Lord’s melodious but extremely eerie voice drifted into Genovis’s ears.

—”Die.”—

In the next moment, Genovis, wrapped in eerie power, felt his pupils contract and his face twist grotesquely, as every cell in his body seemed to let out hysterical screams at this instant.

Then, without any warning… Genovis’s body and soul suddenly exploded, directly bursting into a cloud of blood mist on the spot.

After casually disposing of a Solrog Ancestor, Polarvitan turned her gaze toward the other two silhouettes in the ruins.

Then, thick disgust overflowed from the Abyssal Lord’s violet pupils.

—”A Divine-Graced Maiden? A witch who kills my people every day? There really are too many annoying guys…”—

As the words left her mouth, cold murderous intent and eerie energy fluctuations immediately locked onto Yelena and Ailiya…
