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

"Um…?"

Pestis was somewhat puzzled.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that the white-haired little girl in front of him seemed somewhat familiar.

Especially when the other party had just finished off 'Hollow', he could feel the fluctuations of the aura emanating from the other party up close.

If I remember correctly, this feeling seems to be...

"Void...!"

Pestis suddenly woke up.

Just as he suddenly realized this, two forces struck him even faster than his consciousness.

"Bang!!!"

Pestis immediately took a step back.

"cough…!"

Before he could react, two strange forces surged within his body.

Those were the Chaos Seeds and Blasphemous Blood that flew out of Xie Bai's hands, each carrying considerable chaotic power, constantly eroding his consciousness.

Just as Pestis was about to rouse the flames within his body, a pale purple aura of emptiness emanated from within the Chaos Seed and the Blood of Blasphemy, calming the turmoil in his heart.

"It's alright. While you are being corrupted by these things, my void power will accompany you. You don't need to worry about falling into it."

"Besides, aren't you the legendary white knight? Can't you even withstand this little bit of corruption?"

Xie Bai's childish voice rang in Pestis's ears.

If it were someone else speaking, they might find that soft, sweet voice quite soothing.

But Pestis, the person directly involved, didn't think so at all, and her whole body exuded a faint chill.

As for Xie Bai's words of comfort, Pestis really wanted to say that with the help of the void forces, the erosion of chaos not only did not decrease, but far exceeded its original level, almost knocking him unconscious.

However, he swallowed the words back down.

Because at that moment, Xie Bai had already rushed up to him with the funeral rites in hand.

"Clang—!!!"

In an instant, the sound of a fierce collision echoed throughout the battlefield, drawing everyone's attention.

As the dust settled, a tall knight clad in black and white bone armor stood in place, holding a long spear in one hand to block Xie Bai's attack.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Whoosh—!!!"

A jet-black flame suddenly burst forth from the gaps in the knight's armor, mingling with the white flames that were already present, and together they burned fiercely on the knight's body.

【Black and White Knight - Pestis lv.153】

A new nickname emerged for Pestis, replacing his previous prefix, "White Knight."

In him, the plague that pollutes everything and erodes everything are intertwined in chaos, complementing each other, seemingly with some kind of innate tacit understanding.

Upon seeing Pestis's sudden change in aura, everyone around, including the shadowy figure, was taken aback and quickly retreated.

I don't know if it's because the two forces merged too well, or because the legendary corruption is ten times stronger.

At this moment, Pestis's strength has increased significantly compared to before.

Even he himself had a feeling that if he wanted to, he could beat everyone here except Xie Bai to the ground, and even that dark figure wouldn't escape his grasp.

But that's just wishful thinking.

Xie Bai's funeral procession still blocked her spear. Although the two sides seemed evenly matched, Pestis knew very well that this was just the result of the other side holding back.

If Xie Bai exerted even a little more effort, the imposing entrance that Pestis had painstakingly crafted would immediately lose its power and become nothing more than a stepping stone to highlight Xie Bai's strength.

"cough…"

Pestis coughed awkwardly.

After his strength was significantly improved, his previously vague perception became incredibly clear, even surpassing his previous abilities.

However, sometimes perceiving things too clearly might not be as good as being in a state of complete ignorance.

"Um, my lord..."

Pestis’s voice rang out stealthily, his tone trembling with sudden realization.

Will I ever have a chance to come back?

Xie Bai simply smiled faintly at his question.

"Oh? So you recognize me as your master too..."

She slightly increased the pressure in her hand.

"Unfortunately, this redemption code has expired."

The next second, Xie Bai exerted his strength, and Li Zang's curved blade hooked the spear in Pestis's hand, sending the spear and himself flying.

"boom----!!!"

Pestis's body traced a long black and white trail of flame in the air before slamming heavily into the dragonwood.

"Bang!!!"

As the loud noise subsided, Pestis slid off the mangled remains of the dragonwood like a piece of dried meat.

"Cough, cough, cough...!"

Pestis coughed violently.

Even though he had just received a second enhancement and his strength had increased by leaps and bounds, he still couldn't withstand Xie Bai's heavy blow.

Fortunately, Xie Bai did not actually kill him. Although the attack just now looked fierce, it did not contain any void power; it was just pure brute force.

"Is it just brute force...?"

Pestis felt a chill run down his spine.

Even though he already knew that the white-haired little girl in front of him was the great being who controlled the void, he still found it hard to convince himself when he saw her cute appearance, which was less than 1.5 meters tall.

At that moment, Xie Bai's last words, whispered in his ear, flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

"Remember, from this day forward, in the open, you are the black knight on the side of chaos, and you are not to be exonerated in any way. You may only go home when I have forgiven you."

"Gulp..."

The flames on Pestis's body suddenly dimmed slightly.

Before he could do anything to show his sadness or regret, he saw Xie Bai walking slowly toward him.

The figure was small, and the steps were light.

The adorable little girl, who looked nothing like a monster, was carrying a large scythe that was even bigger than herself, her steps heavy, like a god of death.

For a moment, Pestis didn't realize which side was playing the villain.

escape.

The thought suddenly popped into Pestis's mind.

If he didn't cooperate with Xie Bai's attack to escape, he felt that the other party would really try to kill him.

Just as Pestis stood up, the giant dragonwood behind him suddenly emitted a dull thud.

"boom……"

The next second, the remains of the giant dragonwood glowed with a bright green light, exactly the same light that the Pope of Life had used to teleport Sylvanus away.

"chaos…"

Silvanus's voice suddenly rang out.

Although his tone was as calm as before, it had an added touch of naivety he had never shown before.

"Bang!!!"

The dark figure closest to the source of the sound turned around instantly and blocked Silvanus's attack with his bare hands.

At this moment, Sylvanas still has the appearance of a long-haired little girl.

Despite its small size, its original immense power as a dragon showed no signs of decline.

Silvanus stared at the dark figure before him, his tone remaining calm as ever.

"I heard everything you just said here. Tell me, what price do you want for the lives lost here?"

Her hostility was not masked by her calm tone at all.

Just as she was about to unleash all the power Mira had bestowed upon her, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange figure she had never seen before.
