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

　God did not approve of her actions.

　She suddenly realized that she had not sat under the Sword of Dawn for a long time.

　“…God…ah…”

　Isabella raised her head and reached out to the sky in despair.

　"please..."

　Did she create a golden body for herself and open the White Tower in order to inherit the power of the goddess and better protect the people of the fog?

　On the day of the Art Revolution in 3036, she heard with her own ears the long-sounding Star Sea Bell ringing, and a crimson light swept across the sky, destroying the personal guards of the Decep family.

　Since then, she has been planning to control the power in the White Tower. Only by holding that power in her hands can she prevent similar tragedies from happening again.

　And now, as the spirit faded, Isabella realized her own hypocrisy.

　Yes...even God denied it...

　She is not a sage who moves forward without hesitation.

　She was just a coward trapped in that crimson night, terrified that she would be destroyed as well.

　She was afraid of the power of the White Tower, afraid that the roar of the bells would take away everything from her again.

　She never moved forward for the welfare of the Golden People.

　She did it for herself.

　Selfish... hypocritical... wrapping oneself in a body of gold... but only the heart is made of flesh.

　As long as it is flesh and blood, it will feel fear.

　Isabella was terrified of the recurrence of that night, and she could never shake off the fear.

　""

　Lucius walked over to Isabella and looked down at the melting woman.

　"We are all selfish people," swirls appeared in the lake blue eyes, "We are all sinners."

　When Isabella's eyes met Lucius's, the expression on her face froze.

　Her entire face was melting—the living gold, no longer bound by the spirit body, was erasing all features belonging to Isabella.

　And in the last moment before it melted, Lucius saw Isabella smile.

　she says:

　“…I saw God…”

　"...Ah...He will wash away my sins..."

　Golden starlight flickered in her eyes, as if God really favored her at this moment.

　Then, her tone was no longer calm, but became panicked and hurried:

　"Lucius!" Isabella cried. "Destroy the bell! Cain wants to use it! Destroy it! Destroy it!"

　"Please! No! Don't let her play it! No—"

　Before she could finish, a stream of golden sand shattered her head, and the living gold core exploded!

　Lucius took two steps back suddenly, only to see the Golden King Ugaon stretching out a hand in his direction, with golden light flashing in his eyes.

　"Traitor." The emperor whispered.

　He pulled up the spear from the ground, swung it casually and repelled Xingmo who was fighting with him, then turned the spear and aimed at Lucius without hesitation.

　With a "boom", the spear flew out of his hand, creating a fire storm in the air!

　With Isabella already dead, the addition of Lucius, a demigod, will tip the scales again.

　Therefore, Ugaen attacked without hesitation, determined to kill Lucius before he could regain his fighting ability!

　"!"

　Lucius once again grasped the Gear Heart and burned his own spirit, trying to withstand the blow in the form of a steam man.

　However, at this moment, a golden light exploded with the Sword of Dawn as its center—

　"boom!"

　As the golden light refracted, a figure appeared above the dimension, accompanied by flickering golden light.

　There was a little white flame hidden inside the figure, which seemed to have the power to destroy everything!

　"Om-"

　As the golden figure raised his hand, golden light exploded, instantly blowing away the musket thrown by Ugaen!

　The musket instantly pierced Ugaen and pinned him against the wall on the other side of the White Tower, and smoke and dust exploded!

　Everyone on the field turned their gaze towards it—including the frantic Sand Angel.

　Vivian saw a flash of fear in the angel's eyes—it was afraid of the white flame!

　Taking advantage of this opportunity, she swung her silver sword, and the ice-blue flame instantly engulfed the mutilated angel!

　""

　The golden figure snapped its fingers, sending white flames raining down upon Isabella's remains, completely destroying and reshaping the pool of living gold.

　Then, the metal imbued with spiritual energy began to climb up along the outline of the golden body, bit by bit forming legs, torso, arms, and face.

　"Hula-"

　Her long light golden hair fluttered in the air, like a flowing sea of ​​stars.

　Under the night sky of the White Tower, the girl dressed in gold raised her head, and the skin on her face gradually turned flesh-colored.

　She opened her lake-blue eyes and looked at the darkness above the white tower, but the light in her eyes did not fade at all.

　""

　Lucius stared blankly at the graceful figure reshaping itself before his eyes, becoming the one he had missed countless times in his memory.

　Long light golden hair, a slender body, and a somewhat stubborn look when standing.

　"call--"

　At some point, a wind of spiritual energy began to flow inside the White Tower.

　The wind blew across the girl's body, covering her body with some light golden silk, which turned into a skirt that cascaded down like flowing water.

　She seemed to notice the man's gaze, and said "Hmm?" and turned her head.

　For a moment, two pairs of lake blue eyes looked at each other.

　Lucius's hands began to tremble slightly. He didn't know when tears ran down his cheeks and dripped onto his tattered black windbreaker.

　Miriam Phillips stood before him, the real deal.

　Seeing Lucius' tears, she chuckled:

　"...Dad, thank you for your hard work."

　She trotted off and, like any spoiled little girl, threw herself into her father's arms.

　At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world had paused for this father and daughter.

　Lucius hugged Miriam tightly in his arms. He knelt on the ground, his body still fighting.

　"Milliam..." His voice choked, "But why...?"

　"During the October rain, a kind lady left me behind when I returned to the stars," Miriam chuckled. "She and I...made a pact."

　"What agreement?"

　"She asked me to... continue to protect the Citadel."

　Miriam reached out her hand and gently wiped away her father's tears:

　"After that, I was left in the White Tower as a spirit."

　"Through the instruments in the White Tower, I can occasionally glimpse the outside world, and I can also go out occasionally through the keepsake of that lady."

　When Miriam said this, she turned her head and saw Xingmo running towards her.

　Ah... Xiaomo has really turned into a girl... so cute...

　Looking into those emerald green eyes, Miriam escaped from her father's embrace and walked towards Xingmo:

　"Xiao Mo."

　Xing Mo rushed forward without hesitation and knocked Miriam to the ground.

　She squeezed Miriam's shoulders with her hands, and touched Miriam's face again - the warmth of life, not cold metal.

　"Why are you still so careless?" Looking at Xingmo's dazed face, Miriam reached out and pinched her cheek. "Girls are more careful than boys, right?"

　"Milliam..." Xingmo murmured.

　She couldn't believe that Miriam appeared out of nowhere and took over Isabella's golden body... and reappeared in the world?

　No...it didn't appear out of thin air...that little white flame...

　It's part of Miss Perlis's plan...!

　Xingmo pulled Miriam to her feet. Miriam smoothed her hair gently and smiled faintly.

　"Remember the little sparrow that brought you the letter? It's always following you."

　"Of course I remember... idiot..." Xingmo recalled the golden bird.

　"But now is not the time to reminisce," Miriam's expression became more serious. "Miss Perlis told me that there is bound to be a war here, and even she won't be able to see the end of it."

　"This body was infused with the extraordinary essence equivalent to that of a demigod by Isabella Decep, but even so, one more demigod cannot completely

　It completely turned the situation around.”

　"It's not over yet."

　The three of them turned to the distance together. Amidst the dust and sand, Alice and Vivian began to fight with the revived Sand Angel again.

　On the other side, the Golden King Ugaen emerged from the dust, his eyes flashing with fiery light.

　He was dragging a giant sword in one hand and carrying a spear in the other, and the penetrating wound in his abdomen was being filled with golden sand bit by bit.

　Killing an emperor is not that easy.

　"But now we have you," Xingmo whispered, raising his wand.

　"Am I that important?" Miriam chuckled.

　"It's more important than you think." Lucius also raised his wand silently.

　The three of them looked at the emperor who was slowly walking out of the dust, shoulder to shoulder.

　Not far away, the long-ringing Star Sea Bell stood silently, and faint golden starlight emerged in the sky, twinkling like stars.

　"Xiaomo, how long will it take for you to resonate with fate again?" Miriam asked in a low voice.

　"Soon, almost any time," Xingmo said, "but I feel now... killing him won't bring closure."

　Yes, even if Ugain is killed, there is still Cain, the biggest enemy.

　Xing Mo didn't know what Aurora's current condition was. The environment of the White Tower seemed to be separated from the outside world by an invisible barrier, and she couldn't see Aurora's condition in reverse.

　But now three Star Callers have died. If Cain has not appeared yet, it means that the situation is still under control.

　Don't worry about Aurora... She is a god who wields dual authority... and a girl who will never back down.

　As long as Cain doesn't show up, trust Aurora and deal with the situation.

　"Isabella said... that we should destroy the bell," Xingmo whispered, "which means that Cain's goal is to play the long-sounding Star Sea Bell."

　"If... we destroy the bell, will Cain's goal be defeated?"

　"That's reasonable, but to destroy a relic of that level..." Lucius' voice was as deep as an organ, "...the only way is to use that divine spear."

　The Spear of Ivramis.

　Now it seems to be true - if the power that resonates with fate is used on Ugain again, then if Cain uses some means to get rid of Aurora's entanglement and suddenly returns, will no one be able to stop her at that time?

　So... the best decision at the moment... seems to be to destroy the Long-Sounding Starry Sea Bell.

　What a irony... In order to protect the Citadel, the bell guardian has to destroy the long-sounding starry sea bell...
