He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Not long ago.

As the floodwaters receded, the blue sky reappeared overhead.

Looking at the devastated land, Ivy couldn't help but feel worried.

"Is this... already over?"

As the familiar warmth crept onto her face, Ivy blinked and raised her hand to shield her eyes from the glaring sunlight.

"But what about her?"

Since the mysterious blond man suddenly appeared on the battlefield, Xie Bai has been fighting him.

The distance grew farther and farther until it faded from sight.

After everything calmed down, she realized that she could no longer sense Xie Bai's presence.

Before this, she could sense Xie Bai's presence through divine connection.

but now……

For some reason, Ivy was filled with worry.

She clenched her fists and pressed them against her chest.

Kairos and the others watched this scene without saying anything.

Even now, they still don't understand what happened during Ivy's absence.

They were teachers and students in the same college before, and had spent at least two or three years together.

When they met again, there was an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity.

They could clearly sense that Ivy and Xie Bai were closer than they were.

Now that the disaster is over, they wanted to ask Ivy some questions, but seeing her worried expression, they hesitated to speak.

No matter what, their past friendship still exists, and they don't intend to force Ivy to stay.

What's more, Thanatos was standing behind Ivy.

Even Julius and Gaelost, the two top combatants, stood with Thanatos, protecting Ivy behind him.

At that moment, Ivy suddenly turned around and asked Thanatos.

"Um, you're also one of the White... uh, the favored ones of our Lord, aren't you?"

"Do you know if my lord is alright now?"

Faced with Ivy's question, Thanatos was momentarily speechless.

"this……"

Regarding Xie Bai's whereabouts, he could only roughly guess that he had gone to Prospero's territory, and most likely to his divine kingdom.

But he wasn't entirely sure what the specifics would be.

Just as he was pondering how to explain things to Ivy, a fierce aura suddenly descended from the sky.

"Bang--!!!"

Smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Before anyone could react to this sudden turn of events, a crimson greatsword suddenly slashed through the dust, pointing directly at Ivy in the center.

"My lord, what's wrong with her...!"

Ivy barely opened her eyes and found the sword's edge already pressed against her forehead.

"Ugh...!"

Ivy stumbled and took a step back.

Across from her, Atoris was looking at her with his lips pressed tightly together and his eyes trembling slightly.

The incident happened so suddenly that even Thanatos, who was standing nearby, didn't have time to react.

Before he could stop her, two lithe blue figures suddenly appeared behind Atoris and held her back tightly.

"Hey! Sword Maiden, don't be impulsive! Little White is definitely alright!"

"That's right! Sister Xiaobai is so amazing, how could anyone possibly hurt her? Besides, why are you looking for Sister Aiwei if something happened to Sister Xiaobai?"

Pulled by the two small creatures' powerful strength, Atoris was forcibly held in place.

After struggling for a while, she had no choice but to put down the crimson heavy sword and slowly retreat.

Seeing Atoris's somber expression, Ivy paused for a moment, but didn't know what to say.

If we were to ask who was the most anxious about Xie Bai's disappearance, it would undoubtedly be Atoris.

Before this, the other party was relieved and let Ivy and Xie Bai stay together while she went to the back to keep an eye on the two little ones.

but now……

Just as Ivy was thinking about how to calm Atoris down without provoking him, a spacetime rift suddenly appeared behind her.

"???"

Before Ivy could react, a pair of small arms came around from behind and gently took her hand.

Are you busy?

"Would you like to come here with me now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ivy felt the hands holding her pull her back forcefully, causing her to crash directly into someone's arms.

It's light and soft, and lying in it feels strangely comfortable.

Just as Ivy was about to be captivated by this tranquility, she suddenly realized something.

"Wait, let me go first..."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a chilling gaze coming from afar.

"Gulp..."

Ivy trembled and quickly turned around, grabbing her arm and hiding behind her.

"Whoa!!!"

A strong gust of air swept across Ivy's nose.

In her eyes, a crimson greatsword, brimming with murderous intent, nearly struck her vitals.

When she came to her senses, Atoris had already rushed into the spacetime rift and was tightly embracing the other hand that was opposite her.

"My...my lord..."

"I'm so scared of you, what happened to you..."

At this moment, Atoris and Ivy hugged the same person together.

Thank you.

She looked at the two blonde girls hugging her on either side, feeling somewhat at a loss.

"Well…"

"Um, could you loosen it a bit first?"

Although Xie Bai was a few centimeters taller than them, almost half a head taller.

But overall, the difference isn't that significant.

With both of them pulling her close at the same time, she even felt a tightness in her chest.

"Ugh...!"

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry..."

Atoris quickly released his grip on Xie Bai and then looked at Ivy on the other side.

She was relieved when she saw that the other person had also let go of her hand at the same time.

"this…"

"Okay, it's my fault."

"No matter what happens next time, I'll take you with me."

Xie Bai stroked Atoris's head and gently comforted him.

"Um…"

Atoris nodded gently in response, then became immersed in Xie Bai's caresses.

Xie Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Atoris had calmed down.

She had originally just wanted Ivy to try and see if she could accept Prospero's authority and power.

As a result, Artorias was also dragged into the mess.

Not long ago, her fate was threatened by Prospero, and now that she has come to the scene in person, she cannot guarantee the other party's safety.

At that moment, Xie Bai suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, didn't a sword just whiz by from the side?"

Upon hearing Xie Bai's question, Atoris paused for a moment, then lowered his head and said shyly.

"that…"

"I got a little excited just now and accidentally threw my weapon..."

As he spoke, Atoris raised his head and looked in the direction where he had thrown his weapon.

[Prospero, God of Destiny, lv.300]

[Health Points: 2,870 / 10,369]

At this very moment, Atoris's crimson greatsword, its hilt firmly planted in Prospero's bruised body.

Due to the corrosive power of the void, he was unable to make any effective moves to avoid the attack.

Unfortunately, Atoris's attack also contained a significant amount of void power.

After a series of attacks, the once elegant and composed Prospero now appeared extremely disheveled.

But he couldn't say a word.

"this…"

Xie Bai shook his head.

"Well, let's just call this a kind of revenge."

Compared to this minor incident, she had more important matters to attend to.

Xie Bai turned around and looked at Ivy, who had been hiding silently to the side.

"Ivy".

"Uh, yes!"

Xie Bai pointed to Prospero and said in a calm tone.

"You, go and kill him."
