Taima knelt on one knee on the ground, panting heavily, gazing at Sistana’s departing figure with lingering fear.
“What a lunatic……”
She clearly felt that if the two Grand Archbishops hadn’t intervened in time, Sistana would have absolutely killed her.
But who was she? The great general of the kingdom, second only to the Queen, above tens of thousands—yet in front of this Grand Archbishop, she was like an ant by the roadside?
The Guardian Archbishop shook her head: “You underestimate Sistana too much.”
The Order Archbishop was even more blunt: “If you hadn’t said that extra sentence, perhaps Sistana wouldn’t have done anything….. But do you really think she’s a coward who never gets angry?
No warrior who survived the God War is a coward afraid of death.
The so-called gentleness and steadiness are merely Sistana’s outward appearance; hidden deep in her heart is a veteran of the God War who fought her way out of blood and fire.”
Taima coldly snorted: “I just didn’t expect that she would actually get angry enough to kill me over a mere otherworld traveler…… Why?”
“What position does that Priest Hero hold in Sistana’s heart?”
“Could she really be her illegitimate daughter?”
The Order Archbishop was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: “The Church of Nature and the Church of Life are definitely bound together, but perhaps…… we still have allies we can win over.”
With that, she turned her gaze not far away.
There stood a cat-eared loli with an expressionless face; from beginning to end, she hadn’t glanced over here even once, as if everything was unrelated to her.
Sistana quietly walked atop the ruins, her blue-green gradient waist-length wavy long hair gently undulating with her steps, her beautiful emerald eyes gazing at the azure sky, yet reflecting wisps of black mist, like silently quenching fallen black flames.
Behind her, Trineph quickly caught up and got straight to the point: “Lord Sistana, you’ve gone through trouble. Can you go into the abyss and rescue Little White?”
Sistana gave a bitter smile: “I can’t do that.”
At level 80, she indeed had the strength to venture into the abyss, but she was the Grand Archbishop of the Church of Nature, not a lone adventurer; she had her own responsibilities.
Moreover, the abyss wasn’t some amusement park you could enter and leave at will; even for a level 80 powerhouse like her, she had to consider the dangers within.
Sistana faintly said: “Unlike you all, I’m actually not worried about Little White at all. I believe she’ll kill her way back one day.”
Because Bai Yue Ling was the only remaining Fallen Angel in the world.
During the God War, that invincible angel legion had once charged into the abyss, clashing fiercely with demons, fighting seven in and seven out, nearly slaughtering all the demons.
And as the only kin of the angel legion, Sistana had no doubt about her potential; she would surely dominate the abyss just like her kin.
However, Trineph sighed: “That’s not what I mean. It’s just….. Sigh, please go to the palace and discuss it in detail face-to-face with Mother.”
If Bai Yue Ling didn’t return for a long time, what about Her Majesty the Queen, bedridden with illness?
Her condition had just shown signs of improvement—were they supposed to make Her Majesty keep waiting?
Unknowingly, this little otherworld traveler Bai Yue Ling had already involved many major figures in the royal capital; only now did people come to their senses—her departure could actually cause such a huge impact.
The “Void” was a boundless and mysterious space, existing in the tiny interstices of the world; the scenery here was like a pitch-black night sky, dotted with vortex-like stars.
Void turbulence howled like gale-force winds, ravaging and destroying all life and matter.
Spatial fragments flying rapidly along with the turbulence were sharp enough to penetrate any defense, easily claiming lives. In this vast space, all objects would be drawn into endless spiral motion, constantly falling downward, ultimately leading to who knows where.
This was a world filled with death and destruction; any life here was insignificant, yet there was one disgusting worm that could briefly swim through the void.
After leaving the royal capital, the abyss worm unhesitatingly curled up its body, folds protruding one by one like flattened socks, carefully wriggling forward against the endless void turbulence.
According to its master’s command, it only needed to bring the human inside its body into the abyss.
At the same time, Bai Yue Ling, swallowed into the worm’s body, had a pale face, desperately curling up.
【Your equipment “Slime Cape” has been damaged.】
【Your equipment “Fallen Light Armor” has been damaged.】
【Your equipment “Initial Priest Robe (Modified)” has been damaged.】
System prompts kept ringing; under the effect of concentrated acid, all of Bai Yue Ling’s equipment began to degrade, holes appearing one by one on her full-body black stockings, even spots of rust on her bikini armor.
“It’s over, it’s over—this damn worm, all the equipment I’ve worked so hard to gather is ruined!”
Bai Yue Ling quickly stored her remaining “Energizing Headband” and “Sky Rose” into her backpack, while shouting loudly: “Jelly! If you don’t come out now, next time I revive, I’ll have to be stark naked!”
Unexpectedly, Jelly didn’t help her; instead, it replied: “Wouldn’t that be perfect?”
“You insidious and treacherous slime!”
As long as all equipment was damaged, Jelly could occupy all of Bai Yue Ling’s equipment slots from head to toe.
So Jelly stayed silent, deliberately waiting until Bai Yue Ling’s equipment was almost completely corroded before leisurely wrapping around her snow-white, tender body.
Jelly—plan successful!
“You might as well turn pink; that way it’s not only prettier but also heals my body and mind.”
“Okay.”
No sooner said than done—Jelly suddenly turned cherry pink, like glossy, smooth tight gel suit, firmly adhering to Bai Yue Ling’s body.
With Jelly’s protection, there was no longer worry about concentrated acid corrosion; Bai Yue Ling panted for a while, then began thinking of countermeasures.
“I can’t just sit and wait for death—I have to do something!”
She pulled out her spare initial divine staff from her backpack, unhesitatingly firing holy light orbs all around.
As the holy light orbs exploded with BOOMs, countless flesh and blood flew everywhere; the surrounding meat walls immediately shook violently.
At the same time, Ying Ye was lying prone on the massive worm’s surface, climbing upward with all her strength.
“Little White, I’ll definitely save you…..”
Void turbulence howled past like gale winds, carving bloody marks on her snow-white skin; Ying Ye gritted her silver teeth, firing her grappling hook once more.
Haa haa
Ying Ye gasped for breath while gripping the rope; her health continuously decreased, her body growing weaker.
“Am I going to give up here…..”
She didn’t know where falling into the void would respawn her—perhaps back in the royal capital, perhaps in the abyss; more likely, she’d endlessly fall here forever, dying over and over until she forcibly logged out.
Suddenly, Ying Ye heard a deafening explosion from inside the worm, the worm twisting and struggling violently in response, emitting a shrill, pained hiss.
“This is…… Little White’s holy light orb.” Ying Ye gritted her silver teeth: “No, Little White is still fighting—I have to think of something too……”
In this life-or-death moment, Ying Ye’s sharp eyes spotted that, with the worm’s pained struggles, a ferocious wound gradually revealed itself from the skin folds.
Even more eye-catching was a slender, long blade flickering with dim light.
Haa haa..
The blade was deeply embedded in the wound, emanating a cold, ominous aura that seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
【Equipment Name: Black Blade】
【Quality: Perfect】
【Attack Power: Extremely Strong】
【Equip Requirements: Strength 18, Agility 18】
【Attribute Bonuses: Strength D, Agility A】
【Additional Skill: “Iaido” Enter iaido stance, performing an arrow-step slash at speed too fast to see; as long as one focuses wholeheartedly on the slash, even space can be cut.】
【Description: The sword used by an unnamed petite swordsman at the side of a certain abyss lord; the blade faintly shines with black light, relatively thick, but shorter than ordinary swords; every swing attaches dark aura.】
【Note: Even a powerhouse strong enough to slash through the void fell in the God War to the blades of the angel legion; this black blade was casually thrown by an angel, embedding into a passing abyss worm, leaving the young worm with lifelong psychological trauma.】
