I find it very sacred to pick someone up and make them a saint.

As his energy reserves dwindled, Mien was also relieved to find that the Mother Goddess's oppressive aura was gradually weakening.

Perhaps its first attack will be blocked.

I just don't know who will run out of energy first...

Lucia's tears fell like threads, but she did nothing.

Mien had told her not to act rashly, otherwise it would not only disrupt everyone's plans, but also ruin everything.

Lucia is very well-behaved.

Just like everyone in the Academy has praised.

She watched quietly as the teacher struggled desperately, blood dripping down her cheeks.

The Mother Goddess's oppressive aura visibly weakened little by little, leaving only a last vestige of its power.

Komin's body began to sway, and his stored energy finally ran out.

Mien waved his hands and began to personally resist the attack using his own magic power as a 7th-level mage.

His scholar's robes were already torn to shreds, and his tall, upright figure stood before Lucia.

The holy light of the Holy See emanated from Mien's hands.

However, it was much weaker than the holy light released by Phil.

Like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

After the last bit of energy from the Mother Goddess's attack was exhausted, Mien also used his last bit of strength.

The aftershock hit his chest and sent him flying backward.

Lucia suddenly rushed behind Mien and hugged him around the waist with her small body.

Mien coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes glazed over, and he lost consciousness.

The tranquil realm of the book was momentarily shaken.

However, even after Mien fainted, it still emitted a faint light, maintaining the pure white barrier.

Lucia held the weak and injured Mien, half-sitting on the ground, and placed Mien's neck on her lap.

Looking at Mien's blood-stained face and his tightly closed eyes, tears dripped down his cheeks, and her lips trembled.

She used a pure white holy dress to wipe the bloodstains from his face.

He gently placed Mien on the ground and cast a healing spell.

The mother goddess above still held a murderous aura in her eyes, and once again focused her gaze on the crowd, her body rising and falling slowly, every movement carrying a sense of oppression.

Rachel and Phil, standing nearby, were breathing heavily as they tried to withstand the first attack.

But in an instant, he sensed the Mother Goddess's movements and knew that the second attack would come soon.

They gazed at the pure white expanse before them, sometimes bright, sometimes dark.

Although I don't know exactly what happened inside, I can guess the general idea.

And they knew for certain that the Mother Goddess's attack would still be directed at them, who were trying to dismantle and purify the evil god.

Phil and his companion stared at the empty space, their minds racing with tension, before quickly making a response.

"You all get out!" Rachel shouted.

Phil, along with Rachel, quietly evacuated all his men from the abandoned factory.

The two of them stayed inside the factory so they could escape in time should anything happen.

As for Mien and Lucia

In the event of an accident, we thank them for their selfless dedication to the empire over the years...

The Mother Goddess remained unfazed by the failure of her first attack. Purple light gathered again in her pupils as she leaned forward, gathering strength for her second strike.

Lucia slowly stood up and looked up.

His face was expressionless, his eyes were cold, yet his whole body exuded a chilling and sharp aura.

Amidst the secondary convergence of the surrounding purple faith power,

Lucia walked step by step toward the Mother Goddess of Truth, her heart no longer filled with fear.

At this moment, she felt incredibly calm.

My thoughts are simple: just like always, simply respond to everything Mien has done for me.

From the day Mien rescued her in Iron Can Street and brought her back to the Academy, Lucia had long been prepared to repay him with everything she had, including her life.

However, this was only because Mien casually saved his life; it was a "life for a life" exchange from his own perspective, a kind of "paying back" repayment.

She never thought that she and Mien were equals, that her fate was different from her teacher's, that she was a lowly person from Iron Can Street, while her teacher was a sacred person and the head of the Academy of Scholars.

This kind of "life for life" is more of a one-sided wishful thinking.

Krua never imagined that just now, Mien would actually be willing to give his life for her...

Thinking of this, tears welled up uncontrollably again, blurring her vision.

Mien's actions were not only a selfless act of self-protection, but also, at that moment, demonstrated her own worth.

She is someone who deserves to be protected and to receive such devotion.

Mien was actually willing to give his life for someone like her... even though the difference between them was so great.

Lucia's eyes suddenly lit up. She shook off the tears in her eyes, leaving only a resolute and indifferent expression, ready to give her life, as she looked directly at the Mother Goddess of the Contract of Truth.

"I don't know how the teacher is doing now, but this is all because of this guy in front of me..."

Lucia stared intently at the Mother Goddess in the sky, her hair disheveled by the wind, strands of blood clinging to it, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"We'll do anything to make her pay for hurting her teacher!"

The second attack arrived as expected, and the purple power of faith condensed once more.

It caused the surrounding space to gradually distort, fluctuating with the laws of the gods.

Theodore's soul was also torn apart in the vortex of vast energy, dying without making a sound, and sacrificing his last bit of life force to the Mother Goddess.

The Mother Goddess's ethereal eyes suddenly widened, a purple light shone forth, and immense energy poured down from the sky like a tidal wave.

It will not give Lucia and the others another chance, and will do everything in its power to suppress any disobedience.

The tranquil realm of Mien and Lucia was quickly submerged, and not a single ray of light could be seen.

Phil and Rachel, who had originally wanted to help Mien, hesitated upon seeing this scene, realizing that their help seemed to be of no use.

Hesitant in action, his own energy was quickly submerged after surging into the purple ocean, and he only touched the Mien Domain, leaving him with very little energy to help him.

They stopped using their full strength and kept an eye out for the opportunity to retreat.

The protective function of the tranquil area was instantly destroyed, unable to dissipate such enormous energy pressure.

Lucia closed her eyes, bathing in the power of faith.

She recalled her experience at the Fountain of Faith.

Although I lost consciousness at that time, the surroundings were incredibly peaceful, as if I had merged with them and was flowing naturally.

The moment her holy light energy touched the esoteric energy, it transformed naturally into the power of faith in the Mother Goddess of Truth, and then rapidly merged into her.

Lucia's skin gradually turned pale, losing its color little by little, and her pupils dilated, turning into a white void.

Unleash the full potential of your powerful resonance constitution.

But how could the Mother Goddess's murderous intent be so easily suppressed?

Under immense pressure, her brows furrowed, her face contorted, and blood seeped from her mouth.

It's just using 'resonance' to resist the Mother Goddess's suppression; in essence, it's no different from the resistance of Mien and the others.

Amidst the turbulent 'fusion,' Lucia's soul was on the verge of being scattered, and her spiritual world was invaded by the power of faith from all directions.

Coldness, violence, arrogance, and indifference surged from Lucia's soul into her mind.

Her rationality gradually faded, consumed by these negative emotions.

However, it is also because of his powerful resonance talent,

Lucia did not collapse because of them; instead, she gradually unleashed a cold and arrogant energy.

A violent aura emanated from his pale pupils!

In a black and white consciousness, the crimson of blood on Mien's body filled the surroundings, and Luya's hatred surged out like a tide, unstoppable.

Her resonated energy went a step further, shifting from passive defense to probing deeper into the magic circle.

They even began to take the opportunity to dismantle the energy nodes of the cult's magic array.

The Mother Goddess before them was not a true evil god incarnate, just like the one in Iron Can Street; she was merely a manifestation of her will, and at this moment, she even showed faint signs of being broken through by Lucia.

Lucia's evil aura seemed to overwhelm the phantom of the Mother Goddess, attempting to usurp control of the faith energy here.

For the first time, the towering phantom of the Mother Goddess was moved; a flash of anger, as if provoked, appeared in its deep-set eyes.

The entire city-state faintly heard a silent, furious roar that shook their very souls.

The phantom of the Mother Goddess expanded once more, growing even larger, as if she had truly been awakened.

The energy of the primal will emanating from the relic enveloped the entire factory, and the radiating energy posed a threat that led Rachel and Phil to turn tail and run.

They used all their escape abilities and were hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye, while Rymion and Lucia remained where they were.

The energy that Luya had used to launch a counterattack was immediately annihilated.

In just a few breaths, the Mother Goddess's energy not only annihilated Lucia's attack, but also tightly enveloped her, as if to crush her in one breath.

Lucia coughed up another mouthful of blood, her divine face was shaken, and her mental power suddenly collapsed.

She felt as if she had lost everything, instinctively resisting, but her will had already dissipated.

Like a soul whose body has been destroyed, it stood by blankly, observing everything here, truly "dissolving" under the suppression of the Mother Goddess.

Beyond life and death, she regained her tranquility.

The Mother Goddess's energy, just as it had been used on Miles and Theodore, forcefully surged into her body, attempting to burst her form.

A powerful energy was surging and bursting within Lucia's body, and Lucia no longer had the strength to stop it.

As her consciousness gradually faded, Lucia felt a sense of relief, knowing she could finally end her short life.

However, after a long period of suffering, she found happiness at the end of her life.

His gaze fell on Mien, who was lying on the ground, his heavily injured body being torn apart by the powerful energy vortex and impacted once again.

Resentment and unwillingness swept over me again, and the sense of happiness I felt under the threat of death vanished in an instant.

Lucia didn't want Mien to die like her.

She once again desperately rallied her mind in despair, even though she didn't know how to face it.

Under the oppressive darkness of a dark purple hue,

As the power of faith forcibly surged into her body, Lucia heard a call from the depths of her being:

"My most faithful follower, are you willing to sign a covenant with me?"
