The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

"Merlin's Superstring Array".

Xing Mo shook his hands, feeling the spiritual power absorbed by the obsidian door recovering bit by bit.

Then, she and Aurora crossed the square and walked towards the crystal altar in the center of the magic circle.

As they walked, Aurora looked around like a curious child, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Wow... This scale is bigger than all the previous small magic circles combined..."

"Yes, this is a magic circle carved by Principal Merlin himself. It can perform eight to ten-string magic." Xing Mo murmured.

"Ten strings? That's really high..." Aurora sighed.

"That would require a huge price to pay, so huge that perhaps the entire city would have to pay for it."

Xingmo whispered as her hand reached into her inner pocket and grabbed the bottle containing the "Divine Blood Magic Potion".

Her hands were shaking and her steps became unsteady. Fine beads of sweat seeped out of her head and stuck to her bangs.

There's only one chance...

If Aurora finds out I betrayed her, I won't stand a chance...

I am just a small ant in front of her. She can take my life with just a wave of her hand...

I bear her mark, and as long as she controls me, I will never be able to resist...

There's only one chance...

"..."

Aurora didn't notice Xingmo's abnormality. She jumped a few steps from time to time, listening to the "ding-dong" sound of her small leather shoes stepping on the metal surface, with a smile on her face.

"Doesn't anyone usually use this magic circle?" Aurora said nonchalantly.

"Principal Meilin occasionally uses it, but I don't know what it's used for," Xingmo suppressed her increasingly rapid heartbeat, "It's not something I can understand at this level."

"That's amazing... Before, I didn't believe there was anything that could help me enter the White Tower..."

"Of course it is..."

“I almost believe it now~”

Aurora suddenly stopped, and at this moment, the two of them just walked to the edge of the crystal altar.

The girl looked back, her blood-red eyes flickering in the darkness as she stared at Xingmo behind her.

When looking into those bloodshot eyes, Xing Mo felt his heart stop.

"What do you mean...?"

"You are not the only loyal servant we have. Have you forgotten Miss Book Spirit? She has read every book in the Citadel and knows everything."

Aurora said lightly, turned around and looked at Xingmo with a smile.

"Let's ask her if there's a 'qualification ritual' that can help me enter the 'White Tower'. She said that such a thing doesn't exist. Even if it did, 'Merlin's Superstring Array' wouldn't work for it. Why would Principal Merlin destroy the reputation of his own goddess?"

Xing Mo heard this and quickly said:

"No, she's wrong. The 'Qualification Ceremony' doesn't come from the books in the Citadel, so..."

Aurora's smile grew.

"I thought so at first. How could the little saint lie to me? So, I told Miss Shuling the method you and I repeated, the 'Angel's Tears' and so on..."

"Guess what she said? She told me that the 'Angel's Tears' weren't needed for the 'Qualification Ritual', but the 'Exile Ritual'..."

Aurora said, taking two steps towards Xingmo:

"So... you don't intend to help me enter the White Tower, but are trying to exile me from this world?"

Xingmo felt her mind go blank. She tightly grasped the potion in her pocket, and her unfocused pupils dimly reflected Aurora's smile.

"If you think I'm going to betray you, then why did you come here with me?" Xing Mo whispered.

"Because I think, you've been so good to me, how could you betray me?"

Aurora walked up to Xingmo and looked up at her:

"Tell me, are you going to betray me?"

Xingmo's mouth opened slightly and her tongue trembled a few times, but in the end she said nothing.

Aurora smiled again, but her smile did not radiate sunshine, but instead cast a hint of coldness.

"That's right..." she murmured, "How could anyone trust me unconditionally? After all, I'm an evil god, a bad person..."

The little guy turned around, straightened his back, stood on tiptoe, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Xing Mo took a deep breath and then said:

"Aurora, tell me your intentions, and I can..."

"That's enough! Do you think we're going to listen to another lie you make up?"

Aurora turned her head abruptly, and a pale green light suddenly bloomed around her. Tree-shaped stars lit up in her blood-red eyes, and green strings flashed in the air around her.

Xing Mo was forced back several steps by the pressure of God. She felt her spiritual power was fading and her legs became limp.

"Aurora, you..."

"After all, we don't need to acquire the 'qualifying traits'..." Aurora muttered. "Wouldn't it be the same if we used this magic circle to tear through the White Tower's defenses and then went in?"

"No! No!" Xing Mo shouted, "If you do this, then..."

"There's no turning back, right?"

Xing Mo was suddenly stunned, because Aurora's eyes suddenly became sad, as if an invisible tide was surging between their gazes.

"you..."

"I didn't leave myself any room to turn back," Aurora laughed. "From that moment on, there was no turning back."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand towards Xingmo:

"But you can still turn back, so go ahead..."

"Or do you want to go to hell with me?"

Hearing Aurora say this, Xingmo was suddenly stunned.

Her lips trembled, as if thousands of words were intertwined in her mouth, but she only uttered a simple sentence:

"Come home with me..."

She extended her hand toward Aurora and forced a wry smile.

Aurora looked at Xingmo coldly and snorted disdainfully.

Before Xingmo could speak again, a green light burst out and pressed Xingmo directly to the ground.

Xingmo struggled to get up, but suddenly froze—her "string of life" was being held tightly in Aurora's hand.

"Just stay there until I tear the starry sky apart and show it to you."

Aurora walked towards the crystal altar, opened her arms, and chanted in the ancient language.

As she chanted, complex pale green symbols appeared in the air. The green light spread across the ground with the altar as the center, gradually filling the entire "Superstring Array".

"No..." Xing Mo tightly grasped the potion in his pocket, but he had no strength left.

She watched Aurora walk towards the center of the altar. Endless life force spread across the string array, constantly amplifying between the complex symbols.

Aurora is going to use this to destroy the White Tower's defenses...?

No...if she succeeds...the consequences...will be unimaginable...

Xing Mo closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and gathered his spiritual power.

In an instant, golden stars flashed before her eyes, she felt her spiritual power burning, and her stiff body began to recover.

Aurora seemed to realize her revival, so she turned her head and looked coldly at Xingmo who was struggling to get up.

"I'm sorry to incur the pain," Aurora said coldly.

She drew her wand, ready to give Xingmo a hard blow.

But at this moment, she suddenly turned her head and looked at the darkness on the side, her pupils shrinking slightly:

“You…! How could it be possible…!”

Xingmo heard the panic in Aurora's voice, and the next second, she instinctively closed her eyes.

A terrifying pressure suddenly overtook Xing Mo's head—it was the pressure of a higher level! It was the crushing of the lower level!

That is the gaze of the "Invisible Mist"!

"Pfft!"

There seemed to be a sound of glass breaking, and Xingmo felt the pressure on her body disappear all of a sudden.

She looked up and saw Aurora stumbling backwards and falling onto the crystal altar.

A figure walked out of the darkness, his eyes were filled with golden light, the space behind him was torn open, and an eye was peeking out.

It’s Mentor Lucius!

His face was covered with hideous black lines - there was no doubt that was the result of praying to the evil god!

Mentor Lucius prayed to the "Invisible Mist" and was rewarded with a brief glimpse!

"Xiao Mo! Do it!"

Lucius roared, half-kneeling on the ground, his expression becoming more and more painful.

He can't hold on much longer!

In an instant, Xing Mo made a decision - at least he had to restrain Aurora first and not let her use the "Superstring Array" to attack the "White Tower"!

This is the only way to save her.

Scenes flashed before Xingmo's eyes, finally stopping on the girl on the crystal altar.

She was struggling to stand up, the red light in her eyes shining brighter.

"Aurora!"

Xingmo yelled, pulling out the potion from his pocket and opening the bottle with his thumb.

Then, she suddenly threw it towards Aurora—

"呲呲呲——"

The blood-red potion turned into mist in the air the moment it was sprinkled, forming into ferocious chains that rushed towards Aurora.

The chains instantly bound Aurora, preventing her from getting up. The ends of the chains turned into tiny particles and entered Aurora's mouth and nose.

"...!"

Aurora's eyes moved, and green light bloomed, intending to shatter the chains.

But when the power was activated, her eyes trembled slightly, and she coughed violently as if she had been hit hard:

"Cough...cough..."

Aurora grabbed the rope around her body in disbelief. She knew what it was almost instantly and turned to glare at Xingmo.

"Our...our blood...? You actually..."

Xingmo did not answer. She silently took out the "Angel's Tears", wrapped the crystal with her hands, and closed her eyes.

"Supreme Wise One, Great Teacher, Student of Truth!"

As Xingmo uttered a series of activation words, "Merlin's Superstring Array" was activated.

Colorful light burst out from the metal gaps of the magic circle, and complex symbols in the air quickly rotated around the crystal altar.

Aurora tried to break free, but every time she did, the backlash from the "divine blood" would act on her with equal force.

She could only watch helplessly as the colorful symbols converged and almost simultaneously gathered around her body—

"Ugh!"

Aurora cried out, then immediately knelt down on the crystal altar.

In the altar crystal directly below her, a wildly growing green light tree was quickly outlined—

——That is Aurora’s godhead, the Tree of Life.
