No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

Just a second before the live stream's perspective was about to switch to Yuexi and the others, the beauty slowly bent her knees, and Bai Yu lowered her head as she raised her eyes, placing her hands in front of her.

"Merciful Lord, wherever your gaze falls, that is where the Holy Blade will point."

next moment.

A burst of golden light erupted from behind her!

Three pairs of enormous, magnificent, platinum-gold wings, formed from pure light, suddenly stretched out behind the beauty, their wings so wide and incomparable that they scattered pure gold shards of light across the sky.

At the same time, a huge six-winged phantom, accompanied by golden light, condensed and took shape behind her...enveloping the entire sky above the ancient castle!

It was a six-winged angel that defied description. Its size was so enormous that the live stream camera couldn't even see its full form, only its golden eyes.

The beauty, who was originally kneeling on the ground, was lifted up by an invisible force and slowly rose into the air. With her right hand clenched into a fist, a long blade of judgment flowing with golden flames materialized out of thin air and landed steadily in her palm.

"The Lord said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. The Lord said, 'You will die,' and you will not live until the end of the day."

She lowered her eyes to the darkness, her voice ethereal.

"Judging you is the authority given to me by God, not your choice."

"Lost sheep, the merciful Lord will forgive you, and I will personally send you to Him."

She raised the blade of judgment in her hand, her voice compassionate yet cold.

"You're going to die~"

"But what does this have to do with you?"

The moment the words were spoken, the camera in the live stream abruptly switched to focus on Yuexi and the others.

???

The entire live stream was deathly silent for three seconds, then the chat exploded with comments!

[Ahhh! So incredibly cool!!! Six wings! This is truly an angel!]

"The Lord is with me"—when others say this, it's a spiritual statement, but you'd better think twice before saying it to this stunning beauty!

[I'm not right! Am I seeing things?! The number one beauty has grown six wings?!]

[Who! Who was the first to call her "angel sister"?! Step forward! Are you a prophet?! Is she really an angel?!]

[...Why are there angels in this bizarre game? The Sanctuary Cathedral...it turns out it wasn't a metaphor, there really are angels?]

[What I really want to know is, how many people are on the other side? Enough to make the angel sister unleash her ultimate skill? Judging from the sound of hooves, there must be at least several dozen knights, right? Is the Old Royal Court really that powerful?]

[I don't know, there might be more in the sky, but judging from the first beauty's demeanor, the other party is probably no ordinary person.]

...Mu Zhixi was completely unaware of the frenzy of the viewers in the live stream.

After confirming that the live stream camera had completely left her, she immediately retracted her wings and Dharma form. Those things consumed too much faith points; those few seconds had burned almost a thousand of them.

She patted the dust off her skirt and started pinching a figure on the spot.

Second vest, Elf Princess, activate!

While rapidly defining the character's background, personality, and abilities, she recalled in her mind the tragic history she had written for the Forest Kingdom in her previous life.

The Forest Kingdom, a civilization of moon elves that reveres nature and peace, has maintained a long-standing friendship with the Sanctuary Church.

However, in that great war that swept across the entire era, the Forest Kingdom was hated by the old royal court for sheltering the seriously injured Ran, and was eventually trampled to the ground by the allied forces of the God-Killing Faction, suffering a tragic extermination.

That's a good premise: a princess from a fallen kingdom burdened with the hatred of her country and family places her only hope for restoring her homeland on that sacred and gentle great man from back then.

This plot is absolutely perfect!

...Meanwhile, on the other side.

Yuexi, Wengu, and the others continued along the corridor and, as expected, did not encounter any more strange creatures. The entire castle was eerily quiet. Following Mu Zhixi's instructions before leaving, they began searching for other surviving players within the castle.

A uniquely styled indoor courtyard soon appeared before them.

In the center of the courtyard stood an enormous, yet completely dead, ancient tree. Its withered branches twisted and stretched towards the sky, exuding a sense of deathly stillness.

"Something is wrong here."

Wen Gu pushed up his glasses and glanced at the withered tree.

The castle is Gothic in style, but this courtyard has a distinctly natural style, which is out of place with the surroundings.

The crowd immediately dispersed and began searching the courtyard. Soon, Tie Kou found a wooden box covered in dust inside the hollow of the dead tree.

Wen Gu carefully opened the wooden box. Inside, instead of the crown everyone had expected, was a crystal-clear elf earring.

The earring, with its moonlit glow flowing within, lay quietly on a velvet cushion, emanating a sorrowful yet sacred aura.

At the same time, a cold system notification sounded in everyone's minds.

[Hidden side quest triggered: The Moon Elf's Relics]

Number Seven subconsciously used his appraisal skill on the earring, and the next second, a line of text radiating SS-grade dark golden light appeared before his eyes.

【Item Name: Moon's Tear (Replica)】

[Item Level: SS-]

[System Comment: The true Tear of the Moon has fallen into the hands of a trustworthy friend from the past, a cherished confidante of the forest and an eternal witness to the moonlight.]

[The Moon Forest, where its original owner resided, once sheltered a severely injured powerful figure from the Holy Realm, incurring the wrath of the entire God-Slaying Alliance, ultimately leading to its brutal massacre.]

The forger harbors deep hatred for the old royal court and places all his hopes for restoring the lost kingdom on that compassionate, sacred, and gentle "great man" of yesteryear. Unfortunately, he has yet to be found.

Everyone stared at the information on the panel, completely stunned. A replica was actually SS-level. What level must the real one be?

And this note...

Once again, as if by destiny, all the clues clearly pointed to the same person.

"Who are you?" A clear and melodious voice suddenly came from behind the group.
