Chapter 174: The Goddess’s Situation Looks Bad!

“Kiss me.”

Watching the stupid Isabella’s tail still swaying in front of her, Gabriella understood what she meant.

This was humiliation for the Goddess’s defeat, a trampling and insult to her dignity.

It was a declaration that the Goddess had been completely defeated and lost all ability to resist.

Gabriella suddenly felt that she might have taken her joke a bit too far.

At the very least, the evil god earlier had looked quite angry.

There was no way she was going to let Lady Isabella take advantage of her like this~!

But… but!

She had said the wrong thing earlier.

As punishment, this shouldn’t be a problem, right?

“Yes.”

Gabriella moved like a machine receiving orders.

She reached out with both hands and grasped the tail in front of her.

Morphis felt utter despair.

Yet her voice seemed unable to reach Gabriella’s ears.

The latter still held the other party’s tail, tilting her head as if she might swallow it at any moment.

Having witnessed everything, Morphis shouted:

“Lady Gabriella, don’t!!”

She knew exactly what this represented.

That despicable evil god wasn’t satisfied with simply killing the Goddess or humiliating her.

She even wanted to grind Gabriella’s dignity into the dirt.

She was truly unforgivable.

Morphis didn’t dare imagine just how humiliating this was for Gabriella right now.

The Goddess was forced to lower her head and please her enemy, to submit to the one who had killed her mother, and even kiss her tail.

Power gathered in Morphis’s body.

She suddenly thought that even if she died, she could not allow the Goddess to suffer such humiliation.

At the very least, she had to help the Goddess escape.

But before she could move, Liya’s threads wrapped around her ankle, suppressing her magic power instantly.

“Liya… you!” Morphis glared viciously at Liya.

“Please don’t disturb them. I’ve cast a soundproofing spell.”

Liya sighed and immediately waved her hand, releasing a semi-transparent magic barrier that isolated the evil god and the Goddess from the others.

In truth, Liya felt somewhat helpless.

Gabriella had actually restored her holy body.

She had still been slightly suspicious earlier, but now it was clear that her love for Isabella had not diminished in the slightest.

However, no matter what, she couldn’t return everything to her just yet. She remembered there was still one crystal she hadn’t given back to Gabriella.

Looking at the anxious Morphis, she felt a twinge of heartache.

These foolish Heavenly Oracle Envoys didn’t understand anything, and they still couldn’t know the truth of the situation.

Therefore,

Liya had been extremely careful from beginning to end… especially toward Morphis and Philina, who had already been affected by the shadows.

Moreover, the evil god had exposed her intentions!!

Words like “wife” that she had said to Gabriella had all been heard!

Liya had to find a way.

After all, the Heavenly Oracle Envoys must not learn that the Goddess had long since fallen, or that the shadows inside Morphis had been personally planted by her.

“Has Olivia still not arrived?”

To make Morphis and the others give up, Liya said:

“Look, Gabriella chose the evil god of her own will. You don’t have the right to decide for her.”

“You are welcome to join us anytime.”

With that, Liya activated her magic and summoned doll girls to lift them up.

Morphis originally wanted to resist, but the moment the dark magic creations lifted her, her body unconsciously lost strength.

It was even stronger than before.

Under the transformation of the shadows, her power had become far more difficult to overcome.

This battle had felt meaningless from the very start.

The dolls carried the three of them down to the lower hall—the same place where the battle with Ice Saint Tina had occurred.

They knelt on the ground and fell into silence for a time.

Morphis had also lost her will to fight.

Because just moments ago, she had seen it.

She had seen the evil god pressing down on Miss Gabriella’s head while Gabriella held the evil god’s tail and kissed it.

It was an expression of complete submission, as if recalling countless intoxicated nights and soul-deep training, revealing a face that had lost all hope.

It was as if her rationality still wanted to resist, but her corrupted soul had already reflexively offered up her dignity to the evil god long ago.

She couldn’t imagine how the evil god usually played with the Goddess.

The more she thought about it, the stranger her mind became, and her body began to heat up.

For a brief moment, the illusion that Lady Gabriella was actually very happy appeared in her mind.

So perhaps the Heavenly Oracle Envoys should also submit to the evil god alongside Gabriella.

Morphis quickly shook her head, throwing the dangerous thought out of her mind.

The air was deathly silent.

The shadows flowing beneath them no longer frightened the three of them, as if all their actions had lost meaning.

“The Goddess saved us.”

“Holy Queen…?”

In the silence, Simona’s words made Morphis’s body tremble.

Because from earlier, Simona had been as silent as Philina, as if deeply affected by the shadows.

Simona’s dress was somewhat damaged from the shadow erosion, revealing the fair skin underneath.

She curled up, her usual sharpness and vigor completely gone.

Her cute and gentle demeanor made Morphis begin to imagine just how many despairing nights she must have endured.

“Shining Saint, I’m sorry. I failed… I heard you are all Heavenly Oracle Envoys, right? We still need to think of a way.”

“I, mmm.”

Morphis, who had wanted to say something, swallowed her words.

The Holy Queen’s words suddenly brought her back to her senses.

She had been too impulsive.

Morphis had originally thought of herself as someone who could calmly analyze the situation on the battlefield, yet she had become emotional ever since earlier.

That’s right.

At this moment, Simona seemed to sense Philina’s emotions.

She reached out and gently stroked the top of her head.

“It’s okay, Miss Philina. We still have a chance. You need to pull yourself together.”

“Holy Queen.”

A trace of light returned to Philina’s eyes.

“I’m sorry…”

“Why are you apologizing again? Miss Philina, you already fought with everything you had.”

“I…”

At that moment, Philina bit her lip. She wasn’t sure whether she should say what was on her mind.

Under the gentle gazes of the Holy Queen and Morphis, she couldn’t hold it in any longer and spoke the words she had been keeping inside: “Miss Gabriella will be fine.”

“Eh?”

Morphis’s eyes widened, completely unable to understand.

The Holy Queen’s expression grew complicated. She also wanted to know Philina’s perspective.

“The evil god likes the Goddess. She will make the Goddess conceive her child and give birth to her heir,” the knight girl said, her cherry lips moving. “Isn’t that right?”

Although Morphis maintained a doubtful attitude, she still found this view strangely unsettling.

She suddenly thought, how could that be? She must be controlled… The evil god had even called the Goddess “wife”…

Morphis fell into deep thought, but she quickly shook her head and rejected all her wild speculations.

Impossible.

Miss Gabriella hated the evil god to the core. There was no way she would submit to her.

Seeing that the Holy Queen had no intention of refuting it, Morphis remained silent as well.

Just what exactly had Simona and Philina seen inside the Residential Palace?

Just as despair set in, the rolling shadows on the wall behind them were suddenly torn apart by a silver-white light, revealing the clear sky beyond.
