Luna took a deep breath, then another. She raised her hand and slapped her cheeks vigorously.
“Slap, slap.”
The crisp sound echoed loudly in the quiet warehouse. The girl forced herself to calm down through this almost self-abusive method.
It hurt.
But it was effective.
The heat on her face receded a little, and her chaotic thoughts gradually became clearer.
Right.
Now was not the time to think about this.
“That… that monster? The monster in the underground factory, what happened to it?”
Luna looked up at Hell, her voice carrying a forced calmness.
When Hell heard this, he finally lifted his gaze from his phone screen. He tilted his head slightly, the red “V” on his mask flowing slowly in the dim light.
“You don’t need to worry.”
The boy’s voice was still flat, but it carried a reassuring certainty.
“I already contacted another Goddess Angel to deal with it earlier.”
He paused, then glanced down at his phone screen.
“A message just came in—it’s been eliminated.”
Luna was stunned. Then, a massive wave of relief washed over her, making her whole body go limp.
Eliminated…
The monster that nearly killed her had been eliminated…
The girl let out a long breath, her tense shoulders finally relaxing. She leaned back against the headboard, her body under the blanket as limp as mud.
Thank goodness…
Thank goodness…
However, before she could fully exhale, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind—
Wait.
What did he just say?
“I already contacted another Goddess Angel to deal with it earlier”?
Luna’s head shot up, her pale golden eyes fixed directly on Hell.
He… contacted another Goddess Angel?
How did he contact them?
How could he possibly contact other Goddess Angels?
Unless…
Her gaze followed Hell’s arm downward, landing on the phone in his hand.
A pink phone case.
A cute cartoon cat sticker on the edge.
That was…
That was her phone!
Luna’s pupils abruptly contracted.
She understood everything in an instant.
“Y-you, you, you…”
The girl raised a trembling hand and pointed at Hell. Her hand shook even more violently than before, as if it might fall off her wrist at any moment. Her voice trembled too, every word squeezed out through gritted teeth.
“You didn’t… didn’t use my phone…”
Hell looked at Luna’s on-the-verge-of-collapse expression and gave a slight nod. The movement was so light it was almost imperceptible, yet it hit Luna’s heart like a heavy hammer.
“Yes.”
He shook the pink phone in his hand, his tone very calm.
“I used the ‘Starlight Covenant’ to notify other Goddess Angels.”
Then Hell paused, as if recalling something.
“Saya, Sylph… and Hestia.”
Luna’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
Hestia.
Saya.
Sylph.
They were all people in the “Watch Eden” group chat.
They were all her closest Goddess Angel sisters.
They were all…
All exposed to this villain because of her, this idiot!
Seeing Luna’s about-to-faint expression, Hell seemed to think it wasn’t enough. He added another sentence, his tone even carrying a hint of “kind” reminder.
“Oh, right, you don’t need to worry.”
He shook the phone.
“I already told them you’re safe. They all know you’re fine now.”
Luna’s expression froze on the spot.
That delicate face was now like a frozen sculpture, completely expressionless. Only her pale golden eyes trembled slightly, countless emotions churning wildly in the depths of her pupils.
It’s over.
Over, over, over, over.
This thought echoed in her mind like a curse.
She was a Goddess Angel.
Now, not only was she controlled by the villain and seen naked by the villain, but also—through her own phone—she had exposed information about other Goddess Angels.
In the Starlight Covenant, there were their contact details, their location information, their usual chat logs, their weaknesses and habits discussed during tactical meetings…
Now, all of this was in this villain’s hands.
For a moment, Luna’s mind began to spiral wildly.
How would this guy use this information? He was a notorious Adjudicator of the villainous organization “Eternal Night Gospel,” an enemy of all humanity.
Would he use the Starlight Covenant to get the contact info of other Goddess Angels and then lure them out one by one?
Would he set traps when the Goddess Angels were acting alone, using those despicable methods like he did against her, picking them off one by one, firmly controlling them?
A clean sweep? One by one, the Goddess Angels would fall.
The Goddess Angel Alliance… would be wiped out from then on? Or become this guy’s personal harem?
And all of this—
was her fault, because of her mistake, because of her weakness, because of her stupidity.
Thinking this, Luna’s face grew paler and paler, white as paper. Her body began to tremble violently, and the light in her pale golden eyes dimmed bit by bit.
She suddenly felt so useless, so pathetic.
Utterly hopeless, no will to live.
What do I do, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do?
Luna didn’t know how to face this reality and the highly possible future.
If it were just her bearing the consequences, that would be one thing, but now she had dragged the entire Goddess Angel Alliance down with her.
“Wah—!”
Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cry exploded in the abandoned warehouse.
Luna cried.
Not a soft sob, not a suppressed whimper, but a truly unreserved, childlike loud wail. Tears burst from her pale golden eyes like a broken dam, streaming down her pale cheeks.
The girl’s shoulders shook violently.
She curled up into a ball, pressing the blanket tightly over her face, but the cries still leaked through her fingers and from under the blanket, each sound more desolate and desperate than the last.
“Wah aaaaaa—!”
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… it’s all my fault… all my fault…”
“Wah… Hestia… Saya… Sylph… I’m sorry…”
Luna cried heartily, sobbed uncontrollably, trembled all over.
The once proud and powerful “Annihilation Angel” Artemis, admired by countless people, was now like a child who had done something wrong, curled up on the dilapidated bed, wrapped in a blanket over her naked body, crying her heart out.
Hell sat on the chair, watching this scene. The phone in his hand was still lit, the screen showing the “Watch Eden” group chat interface.
Faced with the girl’s intense reaction, he didn’t speak. He just quietly watched the girl who had become a tearful mess.
The red “V” on his mask flowed slowly in the dim light, revealing no emotion.
In the warehouse, only the gut-wrenching cries echoed.
