Malevolent – Chapter 63 – Protect Us, Let Us Grow Up Healthy and Strong

“After winning the Salvation Game, I can make a wish, right? Now, I’ve thought about what I want to wish for.” Staring into Bai Lianyue’s eyes, Ailiya spoke with a serious and determined tone.

Of course, despite her seriousness, a hint of nervousness was unavoidable.

Little Ailiya stood there, fists clenched, both solemn and anxious.

“A wish?”

Bai Lianyue softly repeated the word, blinking in confusion.

Indeed,

For this girl who could help her maintain her emotions and suppress the instincts of a Corrupted Beast, Bai Lianyue was eager for Ailiya to make a wish and form a soul contract with her.

This way, Bai Lianyue could establish a spiritual connection with Ailiya… binding her firmly by her side, never having to worry about her running away again.

But considering the notorious reputation of the Malevolent Deities and the fact that she had caused the death of Ailiya’s mother, Bai Lianyue didn’t think the girl would make a wish so easily.

Originally,

The Terran Malevolence had been brainstorming various coercive and enticing methods to trick Ailiya into making a wish. Ideas like “family appearing in dreams” or luring her with candy…

However, before Bai Lianyue could put these “brilliant strategies” into practice,

The little girl had brought it up herself?

This left Bai Lianyue utterly baffled.

“Little one… are you serious?”

“Yes, I’m serious.” Ailiya nodded solemnly.

Her cherry-colored eyes were filled with determination and resolve.

The silver-haired girl was not joking.

Previously, Ailiya had wanted to escape the Veiled Domain mainly to create a safe place for her sister to grow up. At that time, Ailiya firmly believed that her grandfather’s family—the Anloxi family—was such a place.

However,

After everything that had happened in the past few hours, Ailiya sadly and disappointingly realized… her grandfather and his family might not be as kind as she had imagined. Like the government of the Westivian Covenant and other national forces… they too wanted to obtain the power within her and her sisters.

Although possessing the Augury Force was a blessing from the heavens, for Ailiya and her sisters now, this power was a source of misfortune.

Moreover,

It wasn’t just humans who were after them… the forces of the Malevolent Deities were also targeting them.

Recalling the murderous intent of the Myriadface Avian, Ailiya couldn’t help but tremble.

Humans wanted their cores, and the Malevolent Deities wanted to eliminate them as threats.

And what about them?

They were just weak children… utterly powerless against these terrifying beings.

Ailiya refused to let their lives end this way.

So,

In Ailiya’s eyes now, there was only one way to survive…

“Earlier, Teacher Boloni told me that the wish from the Salvation Game can last for ten years. Is that right?”

“Yes, ten years.”

Bai Lianyue nodded in confirmation.

“So, what is your wish?”

“For these ten years, protect me and my sisters… let us grow up safely and healthily.”

Ailiya said solemnly.

The reason she and her sisters were in so much danger now was ultimately because they were too weak.

If they were strong enough, as strong as their mother had been back then…

No one would dare to mess with them so easily.

But neither the human forces nor those terrifying Corrupted Beasts would give them the time to grow stronger.

Therefore,

Ailiya decided to find a protector for herself and her sisters.

Someone strong enough to withstand human forces and fight against the Malevolent Deities.

And that protector was the Terran Malevolence before her!

Staring at Bai Lianyue’s beautiful face, little Ailiya clenched her fists tightly. Although she still couldn’t understand what was going on in the Terran Malevolence’s mind, from her actions so far… this monster had no intention of harming them.

In that case,

Let her protect us!

Making a wish and forming a contract meant selling her soul to a Malevolent Deity?

So what?

For her sisters, did she have any other choice?

“This wish… can it be granted?”

Swallowing hard, Ailiya nervously awaited the blue-haired girl’s response.

On the other side,

Faced with the wish Ailiya had proposed, after a brief moment of stunned joy, Bai Lianyue smiled softly, her emerald eyes gradually revealing a glowing bellflower rune.

Whether for her own vengeful purposes or the needs of her body, Bai Lianyue had always wanted to keep Ailiya and her sisters by her side.

Therefore,

She was more than willing to grant this wish.

Moreover,

Letting them grow up safely and healthily?

What a nostalgic feeling.

“Of course, it can.” Bai Lianyue nodded without hesitation.

As she spoke,

The Terran Malevolence slowly raised her hand, and icy-blue cursed energy spilled out, gradually enveloping little Ailiya.

As the cursed energy surged and a burning sensation spread across her chest,

Ailiya suddenly noticed… a strange, icy-blue pattern had appeared on her chest.

“What… what is this?” the girl asked in confusion.

To this, Bai Lianyue didn’t answer directly but instead tilted her head meaningfully.

—”From now on, I… am your guardian.”

Meanwhile, in the Blofens Ravine near Bai Lianyue’s location.

A massive army composed of countless tanks and mechs roared through like a steel tide, kicking up clouds of dust.

The dust blotted out the sky,

The heavy treads crushed rocks, emitting low rumbles like the earth’s roar, causing the mountains to tremble slightly. The metallic shells of the mechs gleamed coldly under the sunlight, their massive arms equipped with cannons and laser weapons, exuding a murderous aura.

This army was the combined border forces of the Veiled Domain, assembled as a support unit.

And their target was clear: the location where the Myriadface Avian’s aura had been detected.

They absolutely could not let that monster harm the little Divine-Graced Maidens.

At the forefront of this army, a figure dashed through the ravine like lightning, visibly pulling away from the main force.

“Lord Greemir!! Slow down!!”

An officer, also at the Divine Martial Realm, shouted sternly:

“You’re getting too far ahead of the troops!!”

“Are you planning to face the Myriadface Avian alone?!!”

“Stop daydreaming! You’re just throwing your life away!!”

However, Greemir, focused entirely on his charge, didn’t hear the officer’s shouts. Instead, he further unleashed his spiritual energy to accelerate.

Right now, there was only one thing on Greemir’s mind:

The safety of Ailiya and her sisters!

Not just because of their importance, but because they were Lianna’s children.

If anything happened to Ailiya and her sisters, Lianna would be heartbroken.

As Lianna’s “brother,” he absolutely could not allow that to happen.

Even if his opponent was a vassal of the Celestial Blight, he would charge forward without fear!

“Little Ailiya, you… must be safe!!”

Amidst the lightning surrounding him, Greemir silently prayed to the heavens.

Deep down, Greemir knew he might be too late.

But he refused to imagine the worst possible outcome.

“Boom!!!”

Finally,

With a deafening roar, after exhausting the energy of his propulsion device, Greemir descended from the sky and landed in the core area where the cursed energy had erupted. Expecting to immediately engage in battle, he was instead surprised to find…

“Where’s the Myriadface Avian? That monster, where did it go? Such a huge Corrupted Beast, how could it just disappear?” Greemir muttered in confusion as he expanded his perception field.

But soon,

The young Divine Martial Realm expert no longer had the energy to ponder this question.

Because as his perception field expanded, Greemir suddenly detected a familiar presence.

“This, this is?!”

Following the aura, Greemir sharply turned his gaze to the side. And there, he saw the beautiful figure he had longed for.

“Ah, L-L-Lianna!”

Reаⅾ оո КatRеαԁinɡСаfе

Staring at the stunning blue-haired girl not far away, Greemir’s eyes instantly filled with immense joy.

And when he saw the twins in Lianna’s arms and Ailiya standing obediently by her side, Greemir’s tense heart finally calmed.

“Thank goodness, you’re all safe!”

At this moment, where the Myriadface Avian had gone no longer mattered to Greemir.

The golden-haired man spread his arms and rushed toward Lianna and the girls, overcome with emotion.

After such a great ordeal, they had reunited! Of course, they had to embrace!

Unconsciously, Greemir had already imagined the wonderful scene of him and Lianna hugging.

However,

Greemir’s beautiful fantasy didn’t last long, as a sudden earthquake shattered it.

“What’s happening?!”

In the next instant,

Under Greemir’s stunned gaze, cracks rapidly spread across the ground, forming a spiderweb-like pattern.

Then, with a low rumble, countless thick, dark red tentacles burst forth from the earth.

They stretched out like the claws of demons, dancing wildly in the air with overwhelming malice and killing intent. Along with the tentacles came an oppressive, suffocating cursed energy.

The powerful cursed energy slammed into Greemir like a wall, sending him flying dozens of meters.

After barely stabilizing himself, Greemir looked in horror at the writhing mass of tentacles.

“This is?! The Forgiving One!!”

Realizing the identity of the monster before him, Greemir immediately unleashed his full power and charged toward the “Lianna” surrounded by the tentacles.

“Run, Lianna!!!” Greemir screamed hoarsely.

Unfortunately,

Greemir was too late.

As soon as his voice rang out, a massive abyssal maw burst from the ground and swallowed “Lianna” and her daughters in one bite.

“Crunch~”

The sound of flesh being torn by sharp teeth echoed, and blood splattered…

Greemir: !!!!
