Fula stared intently at Anlis. Her gaze was not the least bit manic, but unusually calm, so calm that it made Anlis’s heart uneasy.
“Anlis, you should know that I have been watching you for more than ten years. Every move you make, every word you speak, I have seen and remembered. No one in this world knows you better than I do.”
“Your lies are really poor. I’m afraid what you’re thinking right now is to stabilize me and then send me to the Holy Order for purification, right?”
‘Not cool, man! I’ve been seen through! Completely seen through!’
‘Right, her acting talent was shut off! Fula just said so. My performance right now probably looks like a clown.’
Fula’s tone softened, and she even showed a hint of gentleness. “However, I am very happy that you said that. Don’t worry. In the days to come, I will make you say that sincerely, with these hands of mine.”
As the saying goes, three strikes and you’re out. So this time Anlis did not shout again. She was already in despair. She realized that Fula’s purpose was really thorough. No matter what she said, she wouldn’t waver. She was like a devout fanatic. There was really no way.
But at this critical moment, BANG!
The wooden door of the cabin was kicked flying.
“Wait!”
Vylian, wearing the holy Saintess Garments, walked in with a calm step. However, her attire showed a few subtle signs of dishevelment. The hem of her clothes, usually untouched by dust, was actually stained with a speck of dirt.
“You’ve really played a big game against me, God of Life. You actually went to such great lengths to hold me back. Unfortunately, it’s still a little lacking.”
As soon as she entered, she glanced around the room, then her gaze finally landed on Fula.
It was as if she could see through Fula’s body and directly look at the existence behind her.
In Anlis’s eyes, at this moment, Vylian was like a white horse princess coming on the light! Anlis could cry.
Her heart, which had been hanging, gradually relaxed.
You see, Vylian was the Demon King, a full level 999 Demon King! Unless the gods themselves stepped in, no one could defeat her. Except for the hero.
If the Demon King was just a roadside existence that could be eliminated with just a gaze, then the gods of the Holy Order wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to create the concept of the Hero to oppose her.
“Vylian! Save me!”
Anlis called out loudly, not caring how embarrassing it was for a hero to beg a demon king for help. Vylian just gave her a reassuring look.
Mom, this was what Vylian wanted—a situation where the hero depended on her. Only when the hero depended on others could she relax her thoughts of growing.
But…
“What kind of outfit is that?”
“None of your business.”
Being criticized for her attire, Anlis was a bit embarrassed.
She turned her head away, avoiding Vylian’s gaze.
What she was wearing now was indeed a bit shameless, but it couldn’t be helped. In the heat of the moment just now, she had no choice but to dress like this.
Fula’s gaze was fixed on Vylian, her eyes full of disbelief.
The god had clearly said that as long as this saintess was lured away, she would pose no threat.
“What’s going on? Weren’t you held back? How could a saintess who has just recently been born break through the god’s massive net and come straight here?”
The level 500 divine envoy, the divine power blocking along the way—had this person solved all of them?
“Held back? By that level 500 divine envoy? Or by the gods’ weak and incomplete power along the way? You underestimate me too much.”
Vylian smiled slightly, her expression calm and unhurried.
After learning the news from Wubika Kachi, Vylian flew over here without stopping.
She encountered some minor incidents along the way, but she easily solved them with overwhelming force.
Watching through the Observation Magic as Anlis was tricked into coming here like an idiot, she was furious.
Of course, it wasn’t Anlis’s fault. It’s always easy for a familiar person to succeed.
Otherwise, Vylian wouldn’t have considered disguising herself as Anlis’s comrade-in-arms and life-and-death partner.
After all, she was just a hero who had been born for less than a week. It was normal for her not to understand the methods of other gods.
The conversation between Fula and Anlis just now seemed long, but it was actually only a few minutes.
If Vylian had just noticed the anomaly, she would have had to travel at meteor-like speed to get here in such a short time.
The more Fula thought about it, the more alarmed she became.
Beads of sweat even formed on her forehead. Just how powerful was this saintess in front of her that she could do such a thing so easily?
The power of Life could cause same-sex individuals to bear children.
It would have been so easy to just have a joyful time with Anlis like a rain-soaked forest.
If a baby was born, Anlis would never be able to take her eyes off her, right? But this damn person! She ruined everything again!
While Fula was staring at Vylian, Vylian was also staring at Fula.
She clearly remembered that in the Original Story, there was no plot where Fula was gazed upon by the God of Life and turned into a puppet.
In the Original Story, Fula had always been gentle, considerate, and understanding—a beloved virtuous wife.
Could it be that this was a Butterfly Effect caused by her changing the plot? That’s right. In the Original Story, as the First Harem member, Fula didn’t need to use such extreme methods to win Anlis’s heart.
Naturally, there was no chance for her heart to be empty and for a god to take advantage.
Vylian couldn’t help but feel it was a bit tricky. How could she, without revealing her identity, use the methods of a saintess to block the gaze on Fula?
If she used her own power to solve this problem, it would be a piece of cake. That is, throw Fula into the Abyss, using the power of the Abyss to completely cut off the god’s gaze.
Once the God of Life could no longer look at Fula, she could use the Power of Corruption to easily remove the traces of the god’s influence on Fula.
But Vylian still had to play the role of a saintess in front of Anlis.
How could a saintess throw someone into the Abyss? Right now, she wished Anlis would faint like those characters in anime when encountering danger, so she could show off her power. But Anlis was staring at her with wide eyes.
Hah, what a curious little girl—a truly troublesome and foolish one.
After thinking it over, Vylian came up with another idea.
She took a small step forward, and the next second, a golden light dazzling enough to blind everyone burst forth inside the small wooden cabin. A sacred aura filled the entire place.
She raised her hand and waved, and a white glowing spatial rift appeared out of thin air.
Within the rift, a scene of a brilliant white, ethereal sacred heavenly kingdom appeared, as if it were a place where gods live.
“O lamb deceived by an evil god, I will be your guide, leading you to the heavenly kingdom in the sky, to wash away your sins before the great god.”
On the surface, this was a beautiful Sacred Heavenly Kingdom.
But in reality, what was hidden behind it was a dark, cold Abyss filled with the aura of corruption.
She used her Power of Corruption to perfectly disguise the abyss as a holy divine kingdom.
Presumably, even if she sent Fula inside, that fool Anlis would only think that she was a holy saintess who could communicate with the divine kingdom and possessed great divine power.
‘Plan working~ I’ll start laughing after throwing Fula in.’
