After that, every so often, whenever a woman gave birth, she would be made to experience the pain of separation from her child.

Following the thread of fate, Night sees the perspective of the country's queen who has just been separated from her child.

Ye raised an eyebrow: '...As expected, goddesses from any world are all petty.'

Chapter Thirty: Hail Mary, a hymn that only evokes despair.

Goddesses are very petty creatures.

Even the most beautiful, gentle goddesses, renowned for their benevolence, are not immune to making mistakes in mythology.

Even someone as wise, tolerant, and powerful as Athena was not immune to this...

There are stories of people taking their anger out on Medusa because of Poseidon's defilement.

Even the aloof Artemis would send a magical boar to wreak havoc on earth if the king forgot to offer her tribute.

First comes the woman, then the god—this is proof that mythology is based on human history.

The powerful and extraordinary gods also possess humanity like humans; beneath their radiant and beautiful exteriors, there is also an ugly side.

There are no perfect gods, just as there are no perfect humans.

The same applies to the Virgin Mary. In this part of the story, perhaps at the beginning the Virgin Mary only wanted to teach the child the consequences of lying.

But things got increasingly outrageous. While punishing the queen, he also caused the king to lose his child, leading to chaos in the palace—where was the image of benevolence left?

At that moment, the Virgin Mary appeared in the church, holding the second child she had just taken from the Queen—directly replacing the statue of the Virgin Mary inside the church.

The child in the sculpture's hands transformed into a flesh-and-blood being, and the sculpture of the Virgin Mary herself, imbued with a compassionate and loving aura, slowly spoke: "Saint Joseph—what happened to you?"

Even though she was a petty and venerable saint, and had indeed been preparing to find an opportunity to teach Saint Joseph a lesson for his arrogance, her anger subsided considerably upon seeing the scene before her.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Saint Joseph's demeanor was simply too horrible and pathetic.

Have we encountered a formidable enemy?

Did he not invoke the authority given by God?

Yes, if the Omnipotent Limit was activated, she couldn't possibly not have sensed it. It seems the enemy was too powerful, and attacked too quickly, causing Saint Joseph to be defeated before she could unleash her true power.

Even so, the Virgin Mary became wary.

An enemy that could defeat Saint Joseph without even giving her a chance to unleash her power would surely fall victim to her even if she were careless.

Saint Joseph: "Save me! Our Lady of the Holy Family—!!"

Before he could finish speaking in such a panicked manner, Saint Joseph seemed to sense something. Despair filled his eyes, and he began to scream madly, "They're here! They're here—they've caught up! You can't escape! Soon you'll end up like me, losing your body and having your head chopped off!"

The Virgin Mary paused: "Poor Saint Joseph, have you been so frightened that you've lost your mind?"

Suddenly, the light of God’s loving compassion emanated from the Virgin Mary.

Her eyes were lowered, her expression solemn, and her gentle and dignified face contained infinite tenderness and tranquility—the Virgin Mary exuded humility, shining with sublime maternal power and universal love.

Her divinity possesses a magical power that can calm and soothe people. Yet, even the most wicked and despicable people in the world cannot help but weep upon seeing her, repenting for their sins and finding inner liberation in her radiance…

Saint Joseph remained unchanged, as if he were under even greater spiritual influence, which continued to spread—an atmosphere of despair began to permeate the church.

The sacred sculpture of the severed head seems to be repenting, but it is by no means a repentance to the great Virgin Mary before him: "You will have your head taken off by God... and become like me. No one can escape it, no one can escape it! Despair is the worst disease of mankind, oh—Holy Mary! Even if I sing your praises in my heart now, that despair is still like a bone in my throat, spreading along my invisible spiritual spine!"

As he spoke, it was as if he wanted to verify this point.

St. Joseph began to sing: 'Hail Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your own son Jesus. Holy Mary, God, pray for us sinners now and at our death. Amen.'

However—it should have been an ancient and sacred melody, a hymn praising the greatness of the Virgin Mary, a beautiful melody filled with the divine gentle light emanating from her sacred mouth…

It should have been about sharing the beauty of the spirit, bringing peace to the soul, and praying with faith, humility, and devotion.

The words spoken by Saint Joseph at this moment carried an eerie atmosphere, as if a despair that was about to sweep across the universe was spreading with every word and every sentence.

Even the Virgin Mary, who was well-informed and always maintained a calm and serene demeanor in dealing with the world, was subtly affected by this scene.

If there were a third person or other people present, they would definitely get goosebumps and feel terrified.

In the sacred Cathedral of Mary, the Virgin Mary herself descends, bathed in a radiance more gentle and powerful than any other transfiguration. Yet another deity is reciting a terrifying Ave Maria, making even the calming radiance seem cold and detached at this moment.

It can't be contained!

Even the all-encompassing love of the Mother of All Things cannot overshadow the astonishing despair!

Maria seemed to be realizing something...

Especially when you hear St. Joseph say, "The Lord is with you."

What should have been a perfectly normal prayer, one that had been heard countless times, now carried an eerie feeling of being watched, a strong intuition frantically stimulating his spiritual senses.

Her power not only failed to calm Saint Joseph, but in fact, she began to be affected by him in the same way.

What kind of despair, what kind of collapse of one's mental world, could produce such a terrible mental shock?

However, no matter how vigilant and prepared you are, when danger strikes... you can still be caught off guard!

A beam of light, both distant and near—!

As a cross of starlight appeared on the horizon, a beam of light, like a celestial weapon, shot down, only to be noticed by the Virgin Mary who then offered protection above the church.

Boom~! ! !

A massive burst of light instantly engulfed the entire city outside the church, then spread rapidly across the entire kingdom beyond the continent.

The incandescent white light, which lasted for tens of seconds, filled the entire world with a white expanse of light and heat.

After the bright light faded—in the Virgin Mary's perception—the outside world had become a terrible purgatory.

Everywhere were scorching ruins and bright red fires. Cities had vanished, distant forests had disappeared, and the entire kingdom had been reduced to ruins.

A single blow that could destroy a nation!

Realizing that after the attack, apart from her own cathedral, which she had specially protected and was worshipped by, the entire continent and its surroundings had been completely destroyed.

Maria: "Aaaa——aaaa——…………"

Suddenly, tears of blood streamed down her face, and she let out an incredulous lament.

With her power, she could have protected the entire kingdom, but that moment of hesitation...

Chapter Thirty-One: Just after summoning a group of dragons, they were surrounded by an army of anti-dragon heroic spirits.

No, that's not right...

They didn't even realize it until the attack was almost upon them, and even...

Because of Saint Joseph's appearance, the Virgin Mary, who had already secretly unlocked her omnipotent authority—more terrifying than any other deity, directly shattering the pseudo-single universe and borrowing power that reached the same level of super-single universe power as the God of this world—immediately realized the subtle changes happening to her.

The power is restricted by the 'same source' power, the omnipotent power is being sealed off, and this place is no longer the present universe where it was before. It is only the exterior that looks exactly like reality, but in reality, apart from this church, there is no life in the world.

Just like the Mirror World... naturally, the attack just now only destroyed simple ruins, and there was no real mass death of humans.

This is something to be happy about!

But Maria felt no joy whatsoever; the scene before her perfectly illustrated the terror of the enemy.

The Virgin Mary finally realized—or rather—that the enemy's actions had begun the moment she answered the call of Saint Joseph and descended upon this cathedral.

Because of Saint Joseph's strangeness and the ominous and despairing Ave Maria that captivated her attention, coupled with the power of the other party being of the same origin, even the Virgin Mary failed to immediately perceive any subtle changes in the world.

Furthermore, after the other party unfolded this conceptual world, they did not immediately restrict their omnipotent authority, causing the Virgin Mary to be unaware that she had completely traveled to another world.

At this moment, Mary finally realized a huge problem—she understood how Saint Joseph had been defeated!

It's not that Saint Joseph didn't unlock his omnipotent limit; he was probably completely sealed here, his most powerful trump card sealed away.

how so? !

At that moment, although the thread that also connected to the power of omnipotence was forcibly severed, Maria reacted quickly. After realizing the problem, she decisively began to sacrifice all the power that was about to disappear.

In the Book of Revelation, the most terrifying final judgment in the Bible, when the Virgin Mary descends, she will give birth to Jesus, the savior of mankind. To prevent the birth of Jesus, a seven-headed, ten-horned dragon will appear, representing the evil forces of pride, deception, and the Antichrist.

Of course, this is also a catastrophe that God has arranged for humanity to suffer.

Therefore, divine power can also be used as a sacrifice to bring about evil and the end of the world when necessary.

Rumble! ...

The excess power that had dissipated transformed into several evil dragons out of thin air within the light.

Dragons are never lacking in Grimm's Fairy Tales.

Many heroes, princes, and demigods have defeated evil dragons, saved kingdoms, and married princesses!

Based on those dragons, this sacred power reversed and suddenly transformed into evil dragons with physical attributes comparable to planetary mass.

After relinquishing this part of the sacred power, the Holy Mother, whose power was originally dissipating rapidly, suddenly achieved a delicate balance and stabilized at the single-universe level.

She is the strongest being in this world, second only to God. Although the Holy Mother doesn't often take action, it doesn't mean her strength is weak. Her status has already determined everything.

Even with such immense power, she would normally be able to fight against even the main gods or god-kings of other pantheons. However, recalling Saint Joseph's appearance and the fact that things had spiraled out of control from the beginning, the Holy Mother felt a vague unease.

'If the enemy were only at the level of that attack, there wouldn't be anything to fear... plus these dragons—but...'

Like other deities in this world, the Virgin Mary is also accustomed to using rule-based powers, but she is not good at dealing with the simple, brutal, and grand battle scene just now.

A single, devastating beam cannon shot rained down.

This unusual scenario further proves that this is not the real world, but another universe with completely different laws; otherwise, such an attack would be impossible under any circumstances.

Faced with this overly brutal and terrifying attack, the Holy Mother, who had little combat experience, also realized her own shortcomings.

These powerful dragons are what he relies on. If the enemy is a hero with rich combat experience, even if he wants to get close, he must first deal with these evil dragons that would give even the gods a headache and that possess strong resistance to magic (rules)!

So—where is the enemy?

As the Virgin Mary surveyed the surroundings, her 'enemies' appeared before her without any attempt at concealment.

The Lion King, wielding the Holy Lance, had just unleashed a divinely devastating attack from the heavens; Saint George, the dragon-slaying saint wielding the Holy Sword; Martha, the Iron-Fisted Saintess who had conquered dragons; Jeanne d'Arc Alter, the fictional vengeful witch, the dark avenger; and—

Finally, as the one who gave the order to fight to his beloved 'savior sword' (the Lion King), lit the opening fireworks for this battle, and stood at the forefront of the heroic spirits to command everything!

At the same time, simply standing there gives people the feeling that the world revolves around it, possessing an undeniable and immense presence, making it the most eye-catching figure.

The Virgin Mary's gaze finally settled on that figure!

Ye, with a barely perceptible slight curve at the corner of his mouth, quietly and calmly looked in the opposite direction.

The two sides suddenly found themselves in a standoff.

The moment Saint Joseph saw the night, he suddenly let out a high-decibel scream of terror and wailing that seemed to echo throughout the entire universe: "Lord of hosts—I see it, your unparalleled radiance of billions! Ah, ah ah… Indeed, indeed it truly exists! The other—[Lord]!!"
