Malevolent – Chapter 57 – A Head Finally Regaining Clarity and Continuously Crying Children

“Nao-nao-nao-go?? Just like that?”

Seeing the blue-haired young woman’s head roll to the ground, a trace of surprise emerged in the Myriadface Avian’s eyes.

It should be known that with that previous attack, the Myriadface Avian had clearly restrained its power.

Otherwise, its laser would have been enough to blast a new, bottomless trench across this plain.

The Myriadface Avian’s purpose was simple,

To use absolute power to crush Lianna’s courage and confidence. To make this Divine-Graced Maiden show a fearful, desperate, and ferocious expression, even kneel and beg before it.

Crushing this former archenemy, this high and mighty Divine Maiden of the human world, under its feet would certainly be incredibly satisfying.

Therefore, the purpose of the Myriadface Avian’s attack was merely to give Lianna a ‘show of force’.

Unexpectedly?

This show of force killed her outright?

Although it knew she had been weakened, it hadn’t expected her to be this weak.

“Ah, how disappointing.”

The Myriadface Avian shook its head disdainfully.

A plain, expressionless head wasn’t interesting to collect.

However~

The next moment, the Myriadface Avian swept away the disappointment from its face and excitedly directed its gaze toward Ailiya and the others again.

Yes, Lianna’s expression wasn’t perfect enough, but that’s okay.

I can make up for it from her children~

“Nao-nao-nao-go~”

The excited, eerie laughter came again.

In the Myriadface Avian’s view, the reason Ailiya had calmly looked at it earlier was because of Lianna’s protection.

Without their mother’s protection, how could these little brats possibly withstand its pressure?

Plus, they had just witnessed their mother’s head being sliced off right before their eyes, they would surely show expressions of utter despair and fear, right?

Rеad οո KatRеαⅾiոɡСаfе

Thinking of this, the Myriadface Avian felt increasingly excited. The countless dead faces on its body also split their mouths open, revealing grim and bizarre smiles.

However,

The next instant, the ferocious smile on the Myriadface Avian’s head froze in place.

The scene it anticipated—Ailiya holding her mother’s corpse in pain—didn’t appear… That little Divine-Graced Maiden didn’t even look at it…

Now the Myriadface Avian was angry.

Fine, ignoring me, huh?

Then wait until I tear off your limbs, bite your flesh piece by piece… then, I’ll see if you still dare to ignore me?

However, just as the Myriadface Avian was about to put its thoughts into action, this Vassal Tier monster stopped its movements again.

The giant bird head rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, and in its azure eyes, a rare flash of astonishment appeared.

“Hmm? What’s going on?”

The next moment,

Under the surprised gaze of this giant monstrous bird and countless lifeless heads, Lianna’s headless body, which had its head sliced off by it, actually moved again.

At the wound on the neck, after a bout of twisting, numerous thorns suddenly grew out, connecting with the fallen head.

Then,

The thorns contracted, and ‘Lianna’s’ head was thus reconnected to her neck. Not only was the head reconnected, but the wound on the neck was instantly healed, restored to a completely intact state.

Afterward, the blue-haired young woman closed her eyes and twisted her head, as if checking the connection status of her neck.

The scene became quite bizarre for a while.

“This is truly a surprise for this bird, this wound can actually be regenerated?”

The Myriadface Avian remarked in astonishment.

It should be known that humans’ regenerative abilities, compared to Corrupted Beasts, were more than just slightly inferior.

Even top human experts were the same. Although limbs could be regenerated, if vital parts like the head, heart, or Primordial Core were damaged, they would still instantly face death. Only a small number of top Divine Departure Realm experts could regenerate these parts.

And according to the information the Myriadface Avian had, Lianna undoubtedly didn’t possess such terrifying regenerative abilities.

She didn’t have it at her peak, so how did she suddenly have it now when her power had declined?

Moreover,

What were those thorns that surged from inside her body? Is this what humans often refer to as a ‘vegetative person’?

For a moment, the Myriadface Avian’s head was filled with confusion.

On the other side,

With the reconnection of her head, Bai Lianyue slowly opened her eyes, revealing those gem-like brilliant emerald eyes. Different from before, the young woman’s vacant eyes were gradually regaining their light.

Perhaps due to the aura emitted by Ailiya and her sisters, as well as the ‘reboot’ of her head, Bai Lianyue’s consciousness finally escaped its confused state.

“Sss… Ah, dizzy…”

Having just regained clarity, Bai Lianyue couldn’t help but shake her head.

Her mind was quite chaotic now.

Of course, amid the chaos, Bai Lianyue also learned something new. That is, next time her consciousness is confused, she should let Serveiling and the others blow up her head, it seems to have a ‘reset’ effect…

After quickly escaping the confused state, everything that had happened during this period flowed into the young woman’s mind like a spring. Including how Serveiling forcibly changed her clothes again; how Serveiling fed her energy; how she accidentally swallowed dozens of mechs from the human troops…

As well as everything that just happened here.

After quickly sorting out the chaotic memories in her mind, Bai Lianyue directed her gaze toward Weiya, who was lying on the ground nearby.

After seeing the bloodless face of the girl, Bai Lianyue’s heart felt a sharp pain. Although the Malevolence lady knew that this child actually had no relation to her, she still had a strange feeling,

So,

That’s why I told you all…

It’s dangerous outside…

Why? Why not listen?

Really,

Children are just like this…

—”Never listen…”—

Looking down at Miya who was crying incessantly in her arms, and Ailiya who had fallen silent but whose tears still continuously slid down her face, Bai Lianyue fell silent.

Reαԁ оո KαtReαԁіngСαfе

To be honest, originally the Malevolence lady had wanted to use cruel methods to teach these children who dared to run away a lesson. But now?

Faced with these pitiful children, Bai Lianyue found she simply couldn’t harden her heart.

Sigh,

After an inner sigh, the blue-haired young woman slowly raised her hands, gently stroking the backs of the two children’s heads, and softly comforted:

“It’s okay, fa… no, mother will save Weiya.”

Upon hearing these words, Miya, who had been crying continuously in Bai Lianyue’s arms, slowly raised her head, revealing her reddened eyes and her little nose that was continuously running with mucus.

“Re-really?”

“Of course, truer than diamond.”

After receiving this response from her mother, Miya’s emotions finally stabilized a bit. Otherwise, if she had continued to wail, the little one would likely have soon fainted from exhaustion.

After hearing these words, Ailiya’s expression also became quite complex.

The Malevolence saving someone? This was something she never dared to imagine before.

But now, looking at Bai Lianyue’s emerald eyes full of tenderness and seriousness, Ailiya actually had no feelings of doubt.

Besides… at this moment, the girl had no choice.

The Terran Malevolence was her only hope.

“Please, save… Weiya.”

Ailiya pleaded softly.

“Mm.”

Faced with the girl’s plea, Bai Lianyue nodded with complex emotions. A gentle aura slowly emanated from within Bai Lianyue at this moment. This aura was Lianna’s Augury Force.

Although Bai Lianyue still wasn’t adept at controlling Augury Force, at most being able to use level two or three Augury Force, at this moment… this was already enough. She wasn’t counting on using Augury Force to fight; she just wanted to use this power to comfort the two grieving children.

Indeed,

Bai Lianyue’s approach proved correct.

After feeling their mother’s gentle and reliable aura, Miya gradually stopped crying, and the unease and tension in Ailiya’s eyes also gradually faded.

Rеαⅾ оո KаtReаⅾiոɡСαfе

Feeling the children’s emotional changes, Bai Lianyue couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment,

As if sensing something, the feeling of unease in the children’s hearts directly resurged. Miya was so frightened that she curled back into Bai Lianyue’s arms again, and even Ailiya, with her head lowered, involuntarily began to tremble.

Seeing this, Bai Lianyue’s eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems,

Before healing Weiya, I need to clear out that noisy fellow first…

—

On the other side,

Above Bai Lianyue, the Myriadface Avian with its wings spread was wrapped in azure curse power, diving toward Bai Lianyue amid a series of ghastly wails. The terrifying pressure of the curse power descended like the collapse of the heavens.

“Nao-nao-nao-go~”

Since you can regenerate, I should be able to play with you properly, right?

Staring at ‘Lianna’, the countless dead faces on the Myriadface Avian simultaneously split their mouths open, revealing incredibly eerie smiles.

However,

Just as the giant monstrous bird’s talons covered in dead human faces were about to touch ‘Lianna’, the blue-haired young woman slowly raised her head, looking coldly at the Myriadface Avian with those dark red eyes that were completely different from before, deep and cold.

“Be quiet, Ulutiel’s mongrel bird. You’re scaring my daughters.”

As these words were spoken,

Before the Myriadface Avian could respond, in the blue gemstone at the center of its abdomen, that special gemstone resembling an eyeball, a barely perceptible trace of ethereal light flashed.

…

At the same time,

Thousands of miles away, a certain massive figure perched on a withered tree seemed to sense something, and silently trembled.

…

—”Oh ho? Finally awake, sister dear~”—
