Volume 6, Chapter 40 – Greemir’s Conflicted Yet Helpless Heart

“You?? Are you serious?”

Looking back at Greemir lying on the ground unable to rise, countless question marks instantly surged in Bai Lianyue’s eyes.

Just seconds ago he’d looked ready to fight her to the death, yet now he suddenly said he’d help her?

Even with Bai Lianyue’s easygoing nature, she found this strange.

Facing Bai Lianyue’s question, Greemir didn’t directly respond.

He lay on the cold floor, his entire body aching as if his bones had been disassembled, each breath pulling at broken ribs and bringing piercing pain. Enduring this bone-chilling agony, he raised his head and silently gazed at the beautiful figure before him, complex emotions churning in his blue eyes—unwillingness, hatred, and a trace of wavering he himself hadn’t even noticed.

After learning the cruel truth that Lianna was actually the Terran Malevolence in disguise, Greemir had actually had quite a few private exchanges with Luo Fei. The initial purpose was to angrily question him and worry about Ailiya and the twins’ safety, deeply fearing Lianna’s children were being controlled by an evil god.

But through exchanges with Luo Fei, Greemir had also obtained some other information.

For example, the Terran Malevolence actually wasn’t as terrifying an evil god as they’d imagined. She herself was a good person, even a bit airheaded.

She hadn’t done anything bad to Lianna’s children, but rather raised them properly.

The Terrabond Lineage not only had no intention of annihilating all humanity, but had repeatedly stopped attacks from the other two factions.

And also… Gaia Lobir’s true identity was actually the Chief of the First Celestial Augur Knights, that man who held the title “Alabaster Sovereign.”

Although Greemir and Luo Fei didn’t get along, they were after all old acquaintances who’d known each other for decades.

Clearly, Luo Fei had done quite a bit of psychological work on Greemir recently.

However,

Regarding Luo Fei’s outrageous claims, Greemir had never quite believed them.

After all, all of this was too different from the understanding in his mind.

The gap was simply too large.

He found it extremely difficult to accept.

Until before fighting with Bai Lianyue, he’d been like this.

Perhaps precisely because Greemir was a staunch anti-evil god faction member, he was arranged to protect Ryan… to protect this Shenluo heir.

And as the protection proceeded, Greemir’s heart grew desperate.

Humanity’s forces were already half-crippled—trying to deal with the three evil god factions was incredibly difficult.

A Shenluo heir finally appeared, but turned out to be a worthless drunkard, just a “spiritual symbol” to deceive the populace.

Although Xi Xuan was very strong… Greemir didn’t believe he could deal with the three evil gods.

The gap between evil god tier and Divine Departure Realm was too large.

Humanity’s future remained dark…

And just then, the Terran Malevolence infiltrated Ryan’s residence and killed that perverted scumbag.

Facing the invading evil god, Greemir should have sounded the alarm.

But this time, he decided to gamble.

Using his own hands to verify whether Luo Fei’s previous words were correct.

After all,

If Gaia Lobir could truly join forces with humanity, then the human race might genuinely avoid the crisis of extinction.

Thus,

Greemir charged forward with killing intent.

Reаⅾ on KаtRеαⅾіոɡСаfe

Mm,

Well,

Actually at first Greemir hadn’t thought that much—he was just simply hot-headed…

But regardless, from the final result, Greemir really did verify Luo Fei’s previous words.

The Terran Malevolence Gaia Lobir wasn’t as cruel as he’d imagined.

She held back and didn’t kill him.

During the battle, she didn’t display the terrifying killing intent and hostility like other Corrupted Beasts.

Facing his attacks, she showed mostly helplessness.

Furthermore,

Her techniques wielding the ice sword in battle were clearly Bai Ling Determination, and the complete Bai Ling Determination at that!! Greemir, who had learned part of Bai Ling Determination, was absolutely certain! (He’d previously obtained partial “Bai Ling Determination” fragments through the capital’s auction house)

This person might really be the Alabaster Sovereign…

That ancient hero he’d admired for so long.

After realizing this, Greemir restrained his killing intent and made a decision in his heart.

“Because you might really be as Luo Fei said… able to help us. Lord Alabaster Sovereign.”

“Mm…”

Looking at Greemir like this, Bai Lianyue thoughtfully narrowed her eyes.

After confirming there really was no hostility in his eyes, the evil god miss nodded slightly.

“Alright, I understand.”

As the words left her mouth, black thorns grew out once again, wrapping around Greemir.

Of course, the thorns didn’t tear him apart but instantly infused enormous life force into him.

In an instant, the previously half-dead Greemir regained vitality and slowly stood up from the ground.

“This… I’m healed just like that?”

Looking down at his own hands, the golden-haired man was utterly astonished.

Being healed by an evil god? In the past, Greemir wouldn’t even dare imagine it…

“What are you standing there for? Weren’t you going to take me? Let’s go?”

The evil god miss urged.

“Oh, oh, alright.”

Nodding, Greemir followed Bai Lianyue’s footsteps.

“Lord Alabaster Sovereign… um…”

“Don’t call me that, it sounds so strange. Just call me ‘Bai Lianyue.’ It’s my name.”

“Name? Isn’t it ‘Tom Robertson’?”

“Please… don’t mention that name.”

“Oh, okay.”

At the same time, on the highway in Clavino’s suburbs, a black hover car was slowly driving. Outside the car window, snowflakes drifted down, covering the entire land in silver, extraordinarily quiet.

Inside the car, a young woman in a pink dress leaned against the window, staring blankly at the snowy scenery outside. She was the daughter of the Republic of Crocy’s ambassador abroad, named Sophia, who had specially rushed from the capital to Clavino this time to visit her father stationed here.

“Miss, we’ll arrive in Clavino in another half hour.” The bodyguard in the driver’s seat said respectfully.

Sophia nodded, about to respond when her gaze was suddenly attracted to the snow by the roadside. Her pupils suddenly contracted as she hurriedly said: “Stop the car! Stop the car quickly!”

The bodyguard froze for a moment, thinking something dangerous had happened, and immediately made an emergency stop. The hover car steadily stopped by the roadside.

“Miss, what’s wrong?” The bodyguard looked around vigilantly.

Sophia didn’t answer, pushing open the car door and rushing out. Snowflakes fell on her pink dress, instantly melting into water droplets and soaking the hem. She quickly ran to the snow by the roadside, crouched down, looked at the scene before her, and covered her mouth, her eyes full of shock and heartache.

In the snow lay a tiny figure. It was a baby wearing a pink onesie with a mini backpack on its back, the bunny charm covered in snowflakes, looking especially pitiful. The baby curled up in the snow, thin ice flowers forming on its long lashes, looking as if already frozen stiff?

My.

“My goodness… in such cold weather, how could there be a baby here?” Sophia’s voice trembled. She carefully reached out her hand, wanting to check the baby’s breathing, already prepared for the worst in her heart.

But just as her finger was about to touch the baby’s nose, the baby that should have been frozen stiff suddenly moved its little mouth, making a faint “hoo hoo” sound. Its little face even unconsciously nuzzled against the accumulated snow beside it, looking like it was sleeping extremely soundly.

“This, this is…” Sophia was completely stunned. She couldn’t believe her eyes. In such cold weather, even adults couldn’t stand being in the snow for more than a few minutes, yet this tiny baby was sleeping soundly in the snow and looked completely unharmed?

She hesitated for a moment but still carefully picked up the baby. The touch was much warmer than she’d imagined. The baby’s body had no feeling of cold stiffness whatsoever but was instead soft and cuddly. Its little head even nuzzled in her embrace, found a comfortable position, and continued sleeping soundly.

Seeing this scene,

Sophia’s eyebrow twitched involuntarily.

This,

What was going on??
