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

The darkness in his eyes gradually faded away and turned back into bright gold.

From beginning to end, he sat here, controlling everything from thousands of miles away.

"Bam—"

Something exploded in the darkness and fell to the ground.

Prince Austin waved his wand, and a teardrop-shaped crystal flew out of the darkness, stained with blood.

"Angel's Tears".

At this moment, the interior of this tear was filled with surging black light - it was the rich "anti-life element" extracted from the bodies of the deceased at the birthday party.

This is Prince Austin's true plan - to use the "Song of Death" to become his own substitute, use the "Black Heart" to manipulate the "Song of Death", and dominate the ceremony in the manor.

Then, he sacrificed a servant and prayed to the "Invisible Mist", transferring all the "anti-life elements" condensed in the manor ritual to his hands.

The core purpose of the entire ceremony is only one - to transfer away all the "anti-life elements" that Prince Austin has cultivated in the large petri dish of the Academy.

As for the meeting with the "Angel of Disaster", it was just a sudden impulse of Austin, who wanted to see the face of the god.

Sooner or later, he will seize the authority over "life", but not now, but in a more distant place where he cannot be stopped.

"Boom——"

Another flash of lightning pierced the red curtain, and the thunder roared like the roar of an ancient giant.

Prince Austin opened the curtains and outside the window, the waves of the sea were getting more and more violent in the storm.

At this moment, he was on the Humpback Whale.

The whaling ship has arrived at the center of the sea. If it had not been trapped by the storm, it would have reached the imperial capital of Singapore in two days at most.

"It doesn't matter. Isn't it good to have more time to kill time?"

Prince Austin smiled slightly, turned his head and looked at the flowerpot on the table.

The night-blooming cereus bloomed against the backdrop of storm and lightning, but the white petals were stained with the blood splashed when the sacrifice died.

Prince Austin picked the blood-stained night-blooming cereus nonchalantly and put it into his wine glass.

Then he picked up his glass and raised it towards the sea outside the window:

"Cheers to Storm."

.......

After listening to Aurora's speculation about Prince Austin's plan, Xingmo's face turned pale.

She didn't say a word the whole time, but just stood silently at the edge of the terrace, looking at the messy manor.

With the departure of "Song of Death", the unrest has subsided, and reinforcements from the "Star Sea Church" are pouring into the manor to control the situation.

Whether in parks, markets, or around mansions, corpses were lying everywhere, some still intact, while others were difficult to distinguish.

So many people died for a meaningless ambition.

Prince Austin brought the devil into this world, and then left with a smile after sacrificing everything in blood.

What will happen when he arrives at the empire with the "anti-life elements" transformed from these sacrifices?

"..."

Xing Mo closed his eyes and exhaled deeply, a breath of cold, foul air.

She was a guardian, but tonight she felt like nothing.

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

Xingmo felt her hand being held. She turned around and saw Aurora looking at her indifferently.

"It was the goddess, not you, who should have saved them," Aurora smiled. "Yet in the end, it was us who stood here and stopped the situation from escalating further. Don't you find it ironic?"

"You know, you still call me the evil god."

Aurora raised her head. Tonight, the golden stars shone particularly brightly, as if there were eyes in the sky overlooking the earth.

"She was watching, but she didn't do anything." Aurora murmured.

"Let's go, the church's reinforcements will be here soon," Xingmo's voice was a little hoarse, "We can't be discovered."

Yes, she cannot be discovered because she has the mark of the "Tree of Life" on her hand.

Xing Mo suddenly clenched her fists. She remembered the moment when Senior Vivian was pierced by the "Steam Man", and she remembered the people in the banquet hall exploding one after another.

She suddenly felt a fire rising in her heart, the fire made her eyes go black, and her breath became hotter and hotter.

Did Miriam die in the same way that day?

In the flames, Prince Austin's smile slowly emerged, and Xingmo's hands began to tremble slightly.

Even if I borrow the power of the evil god...

He also has to pay the price...

"..."

Aurora looked at the slightly trembling Xingmo quietly, and the smile on her face became more and more obvious.

"You go first," she said nonchalantly, "Let's stay here and deal with the situation. Don't let anyone find out... You should take a shower first tonight~ and wash off your anger~"

After saying that, Aurora slashed with her hand, and a crimson crack appeared in the air.

Xing Mo nodded and stepped into the crack.

After quickly traveling through the crimson space, she found herself in an alley near Splash Street—the very alley where she had first encountered the "Steam Man."

Xingmo walked out of the alley and wandered around for a while as if nothing had happened.

She first bought a cup of sweet iced tea and a barbecue at the night market, and then went to the library to ask the librarian about the book "True Vision".

All of this was to leave an alibi. If anyone suspected her, Xingmo could find these people to prove it.

As for Alice-senpai...I'll explain later.

"..."

After coming out of the library, Xingmo called a carriage and went all the way back to Miriam's apartment.

She walked lightly up the stairs, opened the door with her key, and walked in with her head lowered.

"..."

After turning around and closing the door, Xingmo changed into slippers, then carried the midnight snack through the porch and into the living room.

However, when he turned into the living room, his eyes were met with a flash of red.

"you..."

The midnight snack in Xingmo's hand fell to the ground. She stared blankly at Senior Alice standing in the living room, her mouth slightly open.

Hearing the noise, Alice turned her head, her dark red eyes reflecting Xingmo's green eyes.

"Xingsheng, you..."

Alice drew her wand and pointed it at Xingmo:

“Who on earth is it?”

......

"bass--"

Arya buried the dagger in the throat of the last yellow-robed wizard, listening to the sound of blood foaming in his throat, her face indifferent.

She pulled the knife out and let the wizard's body fall to the ground.

Looking around, the beach outside the manor was in a mess, and the blood of the imperials dyed the entire beach red.

On the horizon not far away, a small boat was sailing away - that was the retreat route of the Imperials. Because of Arya's appearance, they decisively left their companions behind and left.

Just go, leave some work for the Haichao Church to do, otherwise they will look like a bunch of trash.

"..."

Arya silently used the wizard's yellow robe to wipe the blood off the dagger. Bursts of black light emerged from the sharp dagger, making the surrounding darkness a little thicker.

"We can retreat now." Alia said lightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the little nuns and priests in the corner of the beach all popped their heads out, holding daggers in their hands, and black light was rippling in the shadows under their feet.

When Arya gave the order, the little ones sank into the shadows and disappeared.

Through the connection of the "Tree of Life" mark, Alia gave those little guys the power of the "holy object", allowing them to have the ability to shuttle through the shadows to a certain extent.

This is also why they were able to intercept so many Imperials trying to escape tonight.

"finished?"

Alia turned around and found Aurora walking towards her with light steps and a smile on her face.

"Miss Xingyu," Alia bowed slightly, "take a look at this."

She handed Aurora a blood-stained fragment, apparently found on an Imperial.

Aurora took the fragment and quickly scanned it:

"The 'Invisible Mist' was born from the 'Golden Sun'. It is a projection of the sun, an evil spirit born from the spirit..."

As she read, Aurora's lips curled slightly:

"This is getting more and more interesting. Looking at it this way, I think the history taught in college isn't true at all..."

At this moment, Alia's eyes lit up, and the mark on the back of her hand suddenly revealed a revelation.

"Miss Saint is in danger!"

Just as she was about to go to support, she was stopped by Aurora:

"It's okay, sis is just...dealing with something."

Aurora's lips curled slightly as she looked towards the north city, her smile growing more pronounced.

"The fun begins."

......

"I..."

The moment Xingmo saw Senior Alice, she subconsciously wanted to lie and make up an excuse for everything that happened tonight.

But she saw the dagger floating behind Alice - it was the dagger of truth.

She remembered that this was Miriam's residence. Yes, the senior student blocked her at Miriam's residence, which meant that she had guessed a lot.

At a time like this, what good would another lie do?

"..."

Xingmo squatted down without saying a word, picked up the bag of midnight snacks, and wanted to put the things on the table first.

But at this moment, sparks flew out of Alice's wand, causing Xingmo to tremble slightly.

"Senior sister..."

"You've become a follower of the evil god... right..." Alice murmured, "I saw it all, Tree of Life. I connected everything... From St. Auros Cathedral to the Sunflower Baths, from the whale oil factory to the birthday party, you were never absent..."

"Let me explain slowly..." Xingmo said in a low voice.

"Explain slowly!" Alice's voice rose a few pitches. "That so-called Xingyu is the evil god who controls the Tree of Life, right? I saw it all... You lived with her, obeyed her every word, and helped her do so much..."

She paused, as if her throat was choked:

"But I... didn't even know you were alive..."

Alice's eyes suddenly became dim, and then turned into a bottomless darkness.

"Xiaomo...are you...no longer yourself...?"

Xingmo kept her head down, and when she heard her name coming out of her senior's mouth, her body trembled slightly again.

"I..."

But she didn't know what to say. Everything was simply inexplicable: Saint Auros Cathedral had been infiltrated by Aurora, and Xinghai Spring had just been confirmed to be the source of the curse. No matter what, this could not be explained in a few words.

Besides... Alice-senpai wasn't wrong, was she?

Xingmo is helping the evil god infiltrate the academy...
