Volume 2, Chapter 105 – The ‘Aloof’ Savior

“Lord… Lord Child of God?!”

Although he was extremely excited, Wilt’s exclamation sounded like a wailing ghost due to his poor physical condition, making it quite unsettling.

“…”

In the face of Wilt’s cry, the existence known as the Child of God did not respond. After looking at Wilt thoughtfully for a few moments, the figure slowly raised a hand. An eerie power began to gather, accompanied by a surge of strange, ghostly blue light in their palm. ¹ not sure which pronouns I should be using for the Child of God. They were refered with female pronouns on chapter 79, but male pronouns now. I will use they/them until there is confirmation.

In the next instant, the blood within Wilt’s body that had been severely eroded by the Shadow Essence suddenly seemed to receive a call. It flowed continuously from Wilt’s wounds, floating up and gradually gathering in the palm of the Child of God. At the same time, a saint tier healing magic circle abruptly appeared beneath Wilt. A thick aura of life force surged into Wilt’s body, continuously repairing his heavily damaged internal organs and meridians.

Although it only healed a portion, it was enough to drag the weakened Wilt back from the brink of death. With the erosion of the Shadow Essence inside him suppressed by the red-robed figure, Wilt’s consciousness gradually cleared, and the pain that felt like his body was being torn apart slowly subsided.

When Wilt discovered that his body had recovered part of its strength, the Cult Leader of Heaven’s Punishment immediately revealed a look of ecstatic joy and sat up.

‘I-I’m okay?! Hahaha! I’m fine!’

After shouting excitedly in his mind, Wilt smoothly knelt before the red-robed figure and lowered his head with utmost respect, expressing his deep gratitude. He had thought he was surely dead, but he hadn’t expected the Lord Child of God to appear at the critical moment. At this moment, the feelings of faith in Wilt’s heart grew even stronger.

“Thank you, thank you for your assistance! Lord Child of God!”

To Wilt’s gratitude, the red-robed figure merely gave a faint nod. Instead of accepting these meaningless thanks, the events that transpired with Wilt were of greater concern.

“What happened?”

The voice remained mechanical, devoid of any emotion.

“I am deeply sorry, Lord Child of God. This mission was still a failure. We failed to kill the Chosen Maiden and even lost more than half of our elites. I am truly sorry for disappointing you…”

As he spoke, Wilt lowered his head with immense guilt. There was only one thing Wilt feared more than death, and that was disappointing the lord before him.

“You took action personally, yet you still didn’t succeed?”

“I apologize, Lord Child of God. That Chosen Maiden possesses an extremely dense divine power. I underestimated the strength of that divine power, and under its protection and enhancement, I was unable to defeat her.”

“Even after consuming the Blood Soul Pill and attempting to take her down with you, you still couldn’t defeat her?”

“No, that’s not it!”

Wilt hurried to shake his head in denial.

“That Chosen Maiden eventually exhausted her power and collapsed! I didn’t consume the pill to deal with her.”

“Hmm? Then who were you dealing with?”

Hearing this, Wilt couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly as he recalled the black-haired girl who had ruined his grand plan and rendered his efforts futile. He then raised his head anxiously toward the red-robed figure.

“My Lord! There is a traitor among the Demon God’s subordinates! That newborn demon king tier existence has already betrayed the Demon God!”

“A traitor?”

“Yes, there is a traitor! It is the one with the code name ‘Blood Butterfly’. She was the one who saved the Chosen Maiden! Moreover, that woman’s strength is terrifying. After taking my Blackdeath Thorn Spear head-on, she only suffered a minor injury! Her blood-colored butterflies and chains suppressed my power with ease! Lord Child of God, if you encounter her, you must be careful! Lord Child… eh??”

However, halfway through his sentence, Wilt couldn’t help but frown. He realized with shock that the surrounding air had suddenly become increasingly gloomy and cold, giving him a chilling sensation down his spine.

What was happening?

In the next moment, the Child of God’s words reached Wilt’s ears again. But compared to before, the words were now filled with an indescribable pressure and a frigid coldness.

“You said… she was injured?”

“Ye… yes. After taking my attack, she only bled a little from her chest. Other than that… huh? Lord Child of God?…”

In the next instant, before Wilt could finish, a wave of overwhelming pressure surged toward him like a violent tsunami. Caught off guard, Wilt was struck by the blast of air. Once again, he spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying, crashing heavily into a stone wall hundreds of meters away!

“Boom!!”

Accompanied by a world-shaking explosion and a terrifying burst of aura, the groups of magical beasts in the valley felt an unprecedented pressure of death. They suddenly scattered and fled, racing to escape the valley.

Wilt himself, filled with shock and confusion, abruptly lost consciousness under the impact of this power. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted once more.

“Wh… why…”

Seeing Wilt spit blood and fall, the murderous intent within the ghostly blue eyes beneath the Child of God’s hood slowly dissipated. After barely suppressing the urge to kill Wilt and the anger in their heart, the Child of God looked up thoughtfully at the sky.

‘Mother, are you actually protecting her…’

On the other side, within the Crown Prince’s palace in Sky Dome Imperial City, the once solemn and quiet palace had become exceptionally rowdy.

“Aaaaaah!! You bastard! You actually dared to do such a thing?! You’re looking for death!!”

Accompanied by a man’s roar and a riot of pale-gold magic power, a terrifying wave of air instantly shattered the surrounding glass. Many palace maids and attendants both inside and outside the palace trembled under the baptism of this pressure.

“Boom!!”

With a loud crash, the man abruptly raised his hand. His anger-filled fist struck a brown-haired middle-aged man’s face, sending him flying and smashing a huge crater into the wall behind him. Simultaneously, a mouthful of blood flowed from the brown-haired man’s mouth. Several white teeth were mixed within the blood. If he hadn’t possessed some basic strength, his head might have been sent flying.

Looking at the teeth mixed with blood on the ground, the brown-haired man felt slightly complicated, but he ultimately gathered his courage and suppressed his unease. After all, what he had done was an act of necessity.

The brown-haired man slowly raised his head to look directly at the blond man sitting on the bed, the famous Crown Prince of the Snownight Empire Xue Tian’ao.

However, Xue Tian’ao did not have his usual perfect image. Dressed in white patient clothes, he was covered in various bandages. His handsome face, which could charm thousands of girls, was full of wounds of all sizes and large areas of burns. He looked extremely pathetic, and one could even faintly feel a sense of ghastliness about him.

Combined with his current foul-mouthed appearance, he looked nothing like the gentle, elegant, and heroic imperial god in the hearts of the people. If the female fans in the empire saw this scene, their dreams would likely be shattered instantly. What was even more comical was that Xue Tian’ao was currently clutching his crotch tightly, his expression distorted with pain.

After being locked in by Xue Tian’ao’s burning gaze, the brown-haired man, the Chief Royal Physician Vidoru, took a deep breath and spoke in a sincere tone.

“Your Highness, this was also for your own good!”

“For my own good my ass!”

Xue Tian’ao’s roar directly interrupted him. While cursing, Xue Tian’ao smashed a bowl of scalding medicinal soup onto Vidoru’s head and reprimanded him without mercy.

“You f*cking used the fact that I was unconscious from my heavy injuries to amputate one of my balls!! Who gave you the courage! Have you lived long enough already!!”
