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

Epilogue) Moon (Part 2)

After breakfast, Xingmo checked the suitcase one last time to make sure everything was ready.

In fact, today was her last day living in Miriam's apartment.

There are many reasons... For example, Alice-senpai has been urging her to move to the Pushit Mansion, saying that it is safer there.

For example...Xingmo doesn't want to live here anymore.

In the "Star Debris", she met Miriam again, but could only watch her return to the starry sky.

It was like tearing an old wound again, and the long-lost pain made her a little unable to bear it.

So, she plans to move away.

"Are all the things packed?" Xingmo turned to look at Aurora.

"We don't have much," Aurora said, stuffing her feet into her uniform shoes. "You're our main luggage."

"Oh, then you'd better carry me away."

Xing Mo smiled, then turned and looked at the table by the window.

The photo of Miriam, her senior and herself was still there, covered with a layer of golden gauze in the morning light.

Xingmo didn't plan to take the photo away.

Some memories belong only to the place where they once belonged, and nostalgia will only become a chain that hinders progress.

"Aurora, do you think Miriam has returned to the star now?" Xingmo murmured.

Aurora glanced at Xingmo implicitly, as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately held back.

she says:

"I'll tell you when you tell me whose power you used to repel the 'Invisible Mist' a week ago."

"Forget it." Xing Mo shook her head and went out with her suitcase.

"Hey! Tell us what's going on! Tell me the truth, have you met a new love? Come on!"

"I won't tell you~"

Amid the noise, the two men walked out the door.

The moment the door closed, the apartment returned to silence again, and the dawn light sprinkled on the floor like gold powder, as if it was being watched from the sky.

......

In the courtroom, the judge picked up the code and read out:

"Lucius Phillips, you assisted Prince Austin in creating the 'Steam Man,' which resulted in hundreds of deaths. Do you deny this?"

The eyes of the entire court were focused on Lucius - he was in the abyss below the court, wearing prison clothes and shackles.

The middle-aged man raised his head, his lake-blue eyes as deep as ever:

"I do not deny."

"You used Merlin's Superstring Array to create the October Rain incident, nearly killing the entire city. Do you deny this?"

"I don't deny it." Lucius' voice was as hoarse as a broken organ.

"You instigated Bishop Fry Sunlight to flee, causing him to betray the goddess and fall into the arms of the enemy. Do you deny this?"

"I deny it," Lucius said, "I didn't teach him anything. I just let him see the truth."

"What truth?"

Lucius said nothing, looking at the judge, he just smiled.

"Whether you admit it or not, this is still your crime," the judge continued. "That's all. Furthermore, according to the Star Sea Code, I need to sentence you based on your meritorious service..."

"Lucius Phillips, your achievements include promoting the 'Steam Revolution', the construction of the 'Ironclad' of the Citadel, and the capture of the 'Humpback Whale'..."

"Besides that, according to the confession of your student, Miss Xing Sheng, the hero of the 'October Rain' incident, a large part of your actions were due to the erosion and bewitching influence of the Outer God 'Invisible Mist' on you, so..."

"No, I deny that."

Lucius said, turning his head and looking at the jury in the high court.

He immediately spotted Xing Mo sitting in the corner, and gave his former student a gentle and elegant smile:

"My actions are entirely driven by my own will," Lucius turned to the judge, "and have nothing to do with the Outer Gods."

At this moment, a figure walked out from the shadows and walked in front of Lucius.

It's Isabella Duceppe, the queen of Maple Leaf Palace.

She looked at the man in chains in front of her and smiled gracefully:

"Are you sure you want to deny it? This is a very important confession. It might even give you a chance to avoid jail time and get the opportunity to cooperate with us instead."

"You? Are you the Decep family or the Star Sea Church?" Lucius murmured.

"What's the difference?" Isabella smiled.

"hehe..."

Lucius lowered his head and was silent for a moment.

When he raised his head again, deep blue vortexes were still brewing in his eyes:

"I know you want me to provide you with information about the 'Garden of Redemption', right?"

Without waiting for Isabella to answer, Lucius shook his head:

"No, I don't accept your protection. Sin is sin and cannot be offset by any actions."

"Besides, I won't go along with you."

After saying the last sentence, Lucius raised his head and looked at the judge in the high court.

"Then, Your Honor," Lucius smiled politely, "pronounce the verdict."

......

The sentencing was over quickly, and the jury began to leave as Lucius was escorted back to the jail.

Only Xingmo was still sitting there, staring at the place where her mentor had just stood, her face expressionless.

Lucius was sentenced to life imprisonment. He would be locked in the dungeon directly below the "Holy Spirit Church" for the rest of his life, never to see the sun again.

"..."

Xingmo kept thinking about what her mentor had said last, her lips slightly pursed.

Sin is sin, and it cannot be counteracted by any action, right...

So, what about the real criminals who did all this?

Behind Austin is the "Golden King" of the Machiavelli Empire and the secret organization called the "Court of Redemption".

The being possessed by the Dark God calls herself "Cain". She appears to be just a young girl, but she has the authority to call a truce between Austin and Lucius.

Those people are the real planners of this conspiracy.

They took advantage of the mentor's love for Miriam and guided him to summon the gaze of the Outer Gods to the world, just to enter the "White Tower".

What exactly is inside the White Tower that is worth such a huge price?

The price was so high that an entire city was nearly burned down?

Just when Xing Mo's mind was full of messy thoughts, a pair of big eyes came close to her.

"Hey," Aurora blinked, "is it starting again?"

"Start what?" Xing Mo came back to his senses.

"Overwhelmed with emotion?" Aurora came up with an adjective.

"......" Xing Mo smiled silently, and then said:

"My dear, I suddenly feel so insecure..."

"Safety lies in the unknown," Aurora said. "If you are afraid, go and break the unknown."

"Then can you tell me the truth about the starry sky?" Xing Mo asked.

Xingmo had already made this request, but Aurora's answer had always been "think about it again."

This time, she sighed and said:

"Sure, we can... Um... Today is Saturday, right? If I remember correctly, it should be a day with brighter stars... Then let's do it tonight."

"Tonight?" Xing Mo was surprised. "I thought I needed to prepare a lot of things."

"No need to prepare, because I'm just letting you take a glimpse," Aurora said, "but this one glimpse is enough to make you fearful."

Is one glance enough to instill fear? Xing Mo nodded thoughtfully.

"Well... okay..."

"Okay, shouldn't we go have lunch?" Aurora stretched. "You know, we're almost asleep... I'll go back and catch up on some sleep this afternoon..."

Xing Mo smiled helplessly and shook his head:

"Let's go then."

So, Xingmo stood up and walked towards the court door with Aurora.

Just as they reached the door, it suddenly opened and several priests in white robes walked in and stopped Xingmo and Aurora.

Xingmo subconsciously stretched out his hand, reached for the wand at his waist, and at the same time protected Aurora behind him.

At this time, a gentle female voice came from behind the door:

"Don't be afraid, little lamb, I mean no harm."

The priests made way for her, and Isabella Ducep, dressed in a pure white dress, walked over with a smile on her face.

She looked at Xing Mo with eyes that seemed to be carved by starlight, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly:

"Ever since that rain in early October... I haven't had a chance to talk to you... Can you give me another chance?"

"You want to talk to me after you tried to blow up our church?" Xingmo frowned.

That night, the Cathedral of St. Auros was nearly blown up, and Senior Alice said that the mastermind behind it wasn't the church, but Isabella Decep.

After this series of events, Xingmo had become extremely suspicious of the goddess, and the queen in front of him was smiling, and it was obvious that she had no good intentions.

Seeing the vigilance in Xingmo's eyes, Isabella just smiled:

"Your church? That church belongs to St. Auros, doesn't it?"

"No, that church belongs to the people of North City," Xing Mo frowned slightly. "Apart from the gods, the people of North City place their faith in it. It's their yearning for a better life that keeps the church looking splendid, not some gods..."

"You guys were making too much noise, so I had to take action." Isabella responded calmly.

Looking at Isabella's sanctimonious appearance, Xing Mo frowned and said:

"It was us who protected North City, and even the Citadel, not you, and certainly not..."

Xing Mo hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and spat out the name:

"'Star Sea Goddess'."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the court seemed to change a lot. The priests exchanged glances silently, as if ready to take action at any time.

Aurora watched all this calmly, as if it had nothing to do with her.

At this moment, the door of the court was pushed open again, and Alice walked in.

She walked straight to Xingmo and said:

"Schoolgirl, there are still some problems with the previous transcript. We need you to cooperate with our investigation."

"We were chatting." Isabella smiled.

"Really? Then let's talk after we finish this business," Alice gave the Queen of Maple Leaf Palace an elegant smile, "Ms. Isabella."

"Alice Pucht," Isabella nodded. "Well, take this child away. She's our hero, isn't she?"

After saying that, she waved her hand, signaling the guards to step back.

Xingmo took Aurora's hand and followed her out the door.

Before closing the door, she heard Isabella say behind her:
