Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 529 Aqua's Great Victory~
"Don't come over here!"

A loud, wailing sound echoed as the azure goddess desperately fled, followed by countless black serpents composed of black mist, existing somewhere between solid and illusory.

"One second I was drinking and performing in the tavern, and the next I was attacked by a monster. Why does this goddess have to encounter such a thing? Is it because I finally got my comeuppance for taking advantage of Lu Ke? I'm sorry, I was wrong! I shouldn't have touched those nice abs when I saw them... But from another perspective, wasn't Lu Ke right?"

Aqua's tears and snot flowed freely as she frantically fled in a deformed form, completely disregarding her goddess image.

But the "Black Serpent," with its keen eye for quality ingredients, relentlessly pursues the high-quality Aqua. Wherever it goes, flowers wither, trees fall, and life vanishes. Black erosion engulfs everything, and deadly pollution continues to spread.

When the water goddess was too exhausted to run any further, and the "black snake" continued to relentlessly pursue her, Aqua finally lost her temper and pointed at the "black snake" while cursing loudly.

"Enough! You disrespectful snake, that's enough for this goddess. You're not an undead creature, why are you chasing me like this!"

She raised her hand and conjured a staff and a feather robe, pointing them directly at the "black snake," unleashing dozens of skills on it in just a few dozen seconds.

"Purify! Purify! Purify! Purify the beauty of nature! Purify! Purify..."

The "Black Serpent" is undoubtedly one of the three most dangerous magical beasts. Even Phyllis, who possesses the "Six-Colored" Water, is helpless against its deadly virus. At most, the blood of the divine dragon might have an effect.

But before the "Black Serpent" stood a goddess.

Even though she was banished to the mortal realm and usually acts like a comedic character, Aqua is still a true goddess of water, possessing the highest level of "purification" and "healing".

With a smooth "purification" combo, the black aura on the "black snake's" body disappeared completely, the deadly virus was wiped out, and it transformed into a huge python.

After losing that deadly and magical black aura, the "black snake" that revealed its true form no longer possessed a high level of intimidation. It fell from the sky to the ground, writhing in agony, like a fish that had come ashore and was dying from lack of oxygen.

The "balance" has been broken.

After being purified by the goddess of water, the body's "poison" could no longer maintain balance. The body, which had adapted to the toxins, fell into a fatal situation after the "poison" disappeared.

The "black snake" hissed softly, staring hatefully at Aqua. The sight sent a chill down the spine of the mentally challenged goddess, who only stopped fleeing when she realized that the snake was lying on the ground twitching.

"Huh, so it was just a deceptive appearance? There are actually magical beasts in the world that are weaker than giant frogs."

Aqua scratched her head blankly, and unconsciously uttered a rather sarcastic remark.

The "Black Serpent" seemed to understand the meaning of those words. Its cold, vertical pupils widened, and the unwillingness and will to survive in its eyes reached their peak. However, it could not change reality. The convulsions gradually subsided, and after a few breaths, its life force completely disappeared.

…………

boom! boom! boom!
The magic crystal cannons fired continuously at the colossal object in the sky, and the magicians chanted in unison, causing magic of various colors to explode in the sky and engulf the "white whale".

Crusch led his army and the mercenary group of the Hexin Merchant Guild in a charge against the "White Whale," and the battlefield was filled with roars, screams, and explosions.

But it was completely useless.

The "White Whale" is the strongest of the three magical beasts in terms of raw power. It has maximum physical and magical resistance, and the fur-like substance on its body isolates most of the damage.

Unless the attack is extremely powerful, it is impossible to damage the "White Whale". Combined with the interfering fog and the long health and mana bars, the difficulty of defeating it is extremely high.

"Regroup! Don't give up! Think of the people you protect behind you, think of your loved ones whose names and memories have been taken from you, charge!"

Crusch raised her longsword to encourage her teammates. She was born with the aura of a leader and was usually invincible in battle, but when facing three monsters of the level of magical beasts, her leadership was simply not enough.

She used a powerful wind slash to tear through the "white whale's" body, boosting morale, but she still couldn't stop the team from being scattered and swallowed up by the "white whale" and gradually cooling down.

Once you lose the will to fight when facing the "White Whale," it's tantamount to death.

"Die, you monster!"

Just as it was about to collapse, an old yet high-pitched voice rang out, and a white-haired figure in a suit leaped high from the ground like lightning, aiming at the white whale's head and plunging the sword in his hand completely into it.

"Sir Wilhelm!?"

Crusch was both surprised and delighted. "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, Lord Crusch. Rather, I've been waiting for this moment for far too long."

Wilhelm van Astrea, the "Sword Demon," is Reinhard's grandfather and the last of the Sword Saints. This old man possesses immense power even in his old age.

The "White Whale," wounded for the first time, had its enormous whale eyes filled with rage and let out a beast-like growl. Its massive body swayed in the air, but this action did not stop the "Sword Demon's" invasion.

Wilhelm laughed heartily, dragging his sword hilt as he ran at high speed across the "white whale," leaving deep wounds on the monster and causing copious amounts of blood to gush out.

The "white whale" let out a frantic scream, spewing out white mist, and slammed fiercely into the ground as Wilhelm's eyes were blinded.

Rumbling--

The sheer weight of the object was the most terrifying attack. Even though Wilhelm managed to leap up just before landing, using his agility to jump several times on the "white whale" to slow his speed, the powerful inertia and impact still sent the old man flying.

"Sir Wilhelm!"

Crusch and Phyllis immediately went to check on the injuries and breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was nothing seriously wrong, they probably wouldn't be able to be the main fighting force for the expedition for a while.

But then, a chorus of weapons falling to the ground filled the air, along with sounds of despair, frustration, and utter terror.

"This can't be real... How can we fight like this?!"

"I'm sorry, Lady Crusch, it's completely..."

"Someone save me, someone save me!"

Crusch looked up, and even her resolute pupils contracted slightly.

The enormous creature in the sky had two identical companions appearing out of nowhere. The three "white whales" circled and flew in the mist, their wounds healing at a visible speed, as if mocking all their efforts.

Are the three great demonic beasts alone really that difficult? What about the Archbishops of Sin?
Crusch gritted her teeth and unleashed a wind slash, but she couldn't even touch the "white whale's" fur, which filled her with a sense of powerlessness.

Having witnessed the dragon and Luke, the "White Whale" wasn't considered a powerful character in her mind. But when they actually fought, she realized how insignificant she was.

It should be said that Shenlong and Luke were already beyond her imagination, so she instinctively did not consider how to defeat them. However, the "White Whale" gave her a feeling that she might succeed if she tried her best, but in practice, she found it to be out of reach.

The army, having lost its will to fight, began to scatter and flee, just like Crusch's courage.

"Although I've known for a long time that you're not His Highness Luke's rival, you are still the one who said you would take the kingdom back from the dragon. Aren't you being a bit too unambitious?"

A portal opened, and a pink-haired oni maid appeared on the scene. Upon seeing Crusch, who was shrouded in despair, she clicked her tongue and unceremoniously taught the noble "Dragon Priestess" a lesson.

Crusch barely managed to lift her head, her eyes dim: "You are... Luke's maid?"

"His 'favorite' maid, the qualifier is very important."

Ram crossed her arms and earnestly corrected and emphasized, "Ram is not a maid who is so easily satisfied. Later, the qualifier 'maid' will be removed, and she will become the person that Prince Luke likes the most and is the most important in his heart. Please remember this carefully."

Crusch gave a wry smile and shook her head: "...At a time like this, you're still thinking about love and romance? Those kinds of men really have you all bewitched. Besides strength and looks, they don't have any other redeeming qualities, do they?"

"At a time like this?"

Ram tilted his head, not quite understanding, a hint of a smile playing in his wine-red eyes. "You're really scared of a mere 'white whale,' aren't you? Oh well, just like Prince Luke said, it's alright to rely on someone occasionally when they're not mature enough. Just stay behind Ram and keep a close eye on them."

"What do you mean..."

Crusch, who was protected by the wind, suddenly realized that the wind direction had changed, and it was a change so violent that it could be described as a natural disaster.

Centered on this area, Mana, whose range expanded to an unknown scale, surged in as if sucked into a storm.

A glowing "horn" sprouted from Ram's forehead, frantically absorbing mana from the air at an incredible speed, like a bottomless pit constantly drawing out magic power.

"The demon race, with only one horn? No, even the demon race with two horns couldn't possibly be this large..."

Leaving aside the stunned Crusch, Ram floated in the air. The storm surrounded her, and her entire body shimmered with a faint magical glow.

"It's been such a long time since I felt this way, the days when I could use magic at will."

A powerful, all-encompassing wind arose, instantly dispersing the thick fog around the "Beluga Whale".

"Roar----"

Sensing something was wrong, the "white whale" revealed a look of fear in its eyes. Even a not-so-intelligent magical beast wouldn't be so stupid as to not sense the danger of death. Ram's power made it instinctively retreat.

It spewed out even more and thicker mist, and its main body and two clones flew off in three directions simultaneously, attempting to conceal its movements, but...

"it's useless."

Like a queen of wind, Ram raised her hand, and the blue wind element condensed into countless spiraling wind blade vortexes, ignoring all resistance and easily engulfing the "white whale".

The next second, the giant beast's body was shredded by the wind blades, and blood mixed with bits of flesh was swept into the air by the gale, where it was cut into even finer pieces of meat.

The beluga whale was instantly killed!
What a terrifying power this is?

Crusch gaped, unable to believe that the enemy, whom they had been unable to defeat even with so many people gathered, had been dealt with by a mere maid as easily as crushing an ant.

"You are so strong?"

"It's far from being as good as its philandering, lazy master."

Crusch: "...Then could you hurry up and go support other places? There's still a rampaging Archbishop of Sin in the capital."

Ram patted the dust off her maid outfit, clicked her tongue in disgust, and her cute face showed her aversion to her job.

"No, other places will naturally be taken care of by Ram's useless companions and Rem."

...That's the truth.

Crusch breathed a sigh of relief, sensing the confidence in Ram's voice: "Is Rem the maid who looks just like you? Is she your sister?"

"Yes, she is Ram's gentlest and most sensible younger sister."

Ram nodded with a relieved expression. "While other useless people need to team up, it's Ram and Rem who go to different locations alone."

"Oh, I've heard the rumors about the twin demons. Is Rem as strong as you?" Crusch asked curiously.

Ram's lips curled into a subtle smile: "No, Rem isn't actually that good at fighting, but she'll definitely win because..."

…………

Wangcheng, Shangcheng District.

A war has just ended here—no, it was less of a war and more of an indiscriminate massacre.

The short man had inappropriately long hair, and many unconscious soldiers and civilians lay around him. His movements were erratic yet rhythmic, and he kept licking the corners of his mouth.

"Ah... no matter how much we eat, it's never enough, that's why we can't give up on living. Eat, drink, bite, gnaw, bite, bite off, crush, gluttony! Binge eating! Ah, thank you for the treat!"

The Archbishop of Sin of the Witch Cult - "Priest of Gluttony" Batenkaitos.

A plain-looking man in a white suit standing next to him was impatiently babbling at the mangled corpse on the ground:
"Hey, hey, hey, why don't you listen to me? I've already said that the 'Witch of Envy' needs sacrifices to be resurrected. Can't you just die peacefully? You're violating my rights. I'm not killing innocent people indiscriminately. It's all your fault."

Regulus Kornius, the Archbishop of the Witch Cult and the Archbishop of Greed.

The two bishops of sin seemed to have a good relationship. When "sloth" and "wrath" caused bloodshed separately, they chose to travel together and march towards the royal city, eating, killing and destroying everything in their path.

"That's it."

The one who reprimanded the two was a female demon with short, light blue hair.

Rem revealed a gloomy expression, completely different from her usual calm and gentle demeanor, and stared coldly at the two Archbishops of Sin, her tone icy.

"The high priest of the Witch Cult, the sinner who destroyed Rem and her sister's life, and now he has trespassed into Rem's kingdom and disrupted Rem's royal selection ceremony. He is an unforgivable beast."

"..."

The Archbishop of Greed looked annoyed and tugged at his collar: "You're thinking of killing right from the start, you really have no sense of reason at all. I mean, I think you've violated my right to life. Are all women this unreasonable and willful...?"

Unlike the incessantly chattering Bishop of Greed, Gluttony emitted gurgling laughter from his throat, his head drooping and then lifting limply, scoffing in a mad tone:

"Die here? Not bad fighting spirit. Your memories, your existence smell quite delicious. I can hardly resist. Okay, fine, that's good. Not bad, that's fine too. That's it... But can you kill us?"

"Of course, Rem is confident."

Rem's horn grew out little by little, becoming a thousand times more dazzling than before. In an instant, her Ice Summoning spell rewrote the entire world, transforming the surrounding environment into a world of ice and snow.

“Because sisters share even the most precious things, Rem certainly understands what her sister means.”

On the night they traveled to the royal city, due to someone's unique hobby, the "sympathy" between the twins was amplified, not only in terms of physical touch, but also in the power of their two "horns."

"How lucky I am to have such a gentle older sister and to have met Prince Luke... Rem is so much happier than I ever imagined."

"So, all of you who tried to ruin Rem's happiness, die here!"

Facing the two Archbishops of Sin, whose faces were pale with shock at the power of the demon "prodigy," Rem raised her right hand and issued a declaration with a chilling edge.

…………

"To prevent you from thinking there's any chance of a comeback, I can explain in advance that the brides of the 'Bhikkhu of Greed' have already been frozen by Rem, which is why she met these two bishops a step later than Ram."

"The source of the information is of course me. I tell Ram, and Ram then tells Rem through empathy."

Lu Ke crossed his legs and looked at the Goddess of Greed kneeling on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, enjoying her breakdown.

"Do you accept this ending?"
