Demon King, you just need to conquer, and your husband will come up with the solution.

Child...I am so scared..."

Chapter 80: The Collapse and Reconstruction of Faith

"Child... I'm really scared..."

When Claudia heard these words from the old priest before his death, she managed to remain calm and peacefully to comfort the old priest, allowing her to sleep peacefully in his company.

However, beneath Claudia's calm exterior, she was suppressing an indescribable turmoil.

The old priest's words had a mad impact on Claudia's faith in Itana, causing the stars in her heart to crumble.

Doubt, uneasiness, fear, and anxiety, countless emotions flooded in, making Claudia suffer from the torment caused by the collapse of faith.

Most importantly, she was in such torment that no matter how she called out to the stars or to the goddess Itana, she received no response...

At that moment, Claudia had a terrifying thought in her mind: the goddess Itana did not exist...

The moment this thought came to her mind, the stars in Claudia's heart completely collapsed, and all the beliefs she had maintained also collapsed. Having lost the support of her will, she fell into complete madness.

Her consciousness also fell into chaos. Although she could feel what kind of contact she had with the outside world, she was unable to respond or think.

In this state, Claudia wandered out of the Demon King's City and wandered aimlessly in the Demon Realm for more than ten years, even going all the way north across the Great Rift Valley and breaking into the human continent.

However, Blackwater City was not Claudia's first stop when she entered the human world. That came later. Before that, Claudia wandered to another city and was picked up by a nun from the Earth Mother Church.

The kind-hearted nun in the church took pity on Claudia's madness and ignored her crazy words. Instead, she took her in into the Church of the Mother Earth.

She dressed Claudia in nun's clothes, made her a nun, and asked her to do good deeds in order to gain the favor of the Trinity God, so that God's grace could be bestowed to cure Claudia's madness.

Obviously, the Trinity God did not want to favor Claudia, a pagan. Her insanity had not improved and she was still talking nonsense and her mind was confused.

This kind of life did not last for a few years. Claudia disappeared again due to the nun's negligence, left the city and continued to wander.

This second wandering unexpectedly saved Claudia from madness.

Because the place she wandered to this time was called Blackwater City, and there was a governor there named Irons.

Governor Irons, using his vast knowledge, told Claudia about the real stars behind the sky, rebuilding Claudia's long-collapsed faith.

The stars in Claudia's heart that should have collapsed were rebuilt! No, this time Claudia no longer needed to build false stars in her heart, she had already embraced the real stars!

After Irons's interpretation of the stars, Claudia finally felt the call from the stars! It was the call of the goddess Itana!

Although it was very faint, Claudia felt it! And through this call, Claudia finally saw through the false sky and saw the real starry sky behind it!

The goddess Etana really exists! The stars that move around really exist! It turns out that the stars have all kinds of colors!

It turns out that the reason why the stars twinkle is because they release light and heat like the sun, but they are too far away from us.

It turns out that in addition to the stars that can shine in the starry sky, there are also many planets that cannot shine, and the land where he is standing is one of the stars that cannot shine.

This starry sky is so vast, beautiful, broad, and mysterious...

Claudia, who had rebuilt her faith in the starry sky, successfully regained consciousness. At the same time, she found that her strength had increased unprecedentedly! The power of the stars was now in her control!

So, as a pagan, Claudia is lucky because the god she believes in is real! And he responded to her! And...she really received God's grace.

She sensed the real starry sky and the call of the goddess, and became the first person in millions of years to receive grace from a non-Trinity god! She was sublimated!

The goddess Itana, who is in charge of mysterious powers, possesses almost endless knowledge of mystical magic, and the grace she bestowed on Claudia is a kind of lost magic.

Well...it's probably not that it has been lost, because there are still some people who can use this kind of magic, but it has become different.

That’s right, that’s the magic of words.

However, Claudia's initial attitude towards this divine grace was somewhat subtle... because this thing was so useless.

The concept is high, it can mobilize the energy of language, and if the language energy is strong enough, it can even mobilize the laws of nature. However, as the only language on the continent, the language energy of the universal language is simply frustrating.

After her ascension, Claudia can release the forbidden technique of Great Wilderness Starfall by herself, which previously required a lot of preparation by ten banshees and the support of a giant magic circle.

Yes, it was the magic that smashed the castles of previous Lava Lords into lava lakes.

If the magic power used in such a forbidden magic is consumed in the word magic activated by the common language, it can only affect the actions of beings of the same level...

What's the use of this!? With this magical power, I can just smash people to death with the falling stars of the Great Wilderness!

Claudia was initially full of complaints about the grace bestowed by the goddess Itana, but later she discovered that the grace bestowed by the goddess Itana did not seem to be directed at her.

It was Governor Irons.

During the time when she just regained consciousness, Claudia was extremely fanatical about Ains. Facing this benefactor who saved her faith and will, she almost thought without hesitation that Ains was the messenger sent by the goddess Itana to save her.

During that period, Claudia thought about Ains day and night, wishing to stay by his side all the time, and even did many things that she now thinks are unacceptable, such as stalking him, raiding his house at night, etc...

Once, Claudia sneaked into Irons' office at night and found Irons writing in his diary.

At that time, she noticed that the diary written by Irons was written in a language completely different from the common language and was obviously another independent language.

But Claudia was so engrossed in the frenzy at the time that she didn't pay much attention to such details. She was only focused on pestering Irons and getting close to him.

It wasn't until the frenzy subsided, the emotions calmed down, and her intelligence regained its upper hand that she reacted.

The word magic that Goddess Itana gave to him was obviously prepared for Governor Ains!

Therefore, Claudia wrote down the word magic that Goddess Itana taught her, and before leaving, she gave it to Ains as a thank you gift.

Claudia didn't know what effect this magic would have when used by Ains, but the fact that Goddess Itana specifically gave this magic to her obviously had a deep meaning.

All Claudia can do is believe in Goddess Itana and believe in...Ains.

Afterwards, Claudia left Blackwater City. It was not because she was tired of Blackwater City. On the contrary, she liked this small border city managed by Irons very much. It was prosperous and full of vitality.

Also... I am quite grateful to Ains who manages this small town... Yes! Just thanks! Nothing else! Hmm!

However, no matter how grateful and loving she was, Claudia had to leave, because the goddess Itana called her again and gave her a task.

For the goddess, she had no choice but to bid farewell to Ains and Blackwater City, and even temporarily gave up returning to the Demon King City. She continued to mingle in various Earth Mother Churches in the Duolun Empire as a nun.

Therefore, she was transferred to the National Earth Mother Cathedral in the capital of Duolun as a temporary worker.

And her ultimate goal in doing this... is to go to the kingdom of God, Orville.

Chapter 81: Just a Little Common Sense

"Oh... Sigh, I really can't understand why Priestess Claudia is unwilling to return to the Demon King's Castle even though she has regained consciousness? What is her purpose in staying in the human continent?"

After Irons briefly explained Claudia's situation, the banshee Cassia couldn't help but mutter in confusion.

She slowly coiled her round snake tail, pondered for a while, and then muttered: "Ah... Claudia's sacrifice is really...

Many years ago, for unknown reasons, she suddenly went mad and disappeared from the Demon King's City. Now, for unknown reasons, she has suddenly regained consciousness, but is wandering around the human continent and is unwilling to come back... What is she thinking?"

Listening to Garcia's somewhat reproachful mumbling, Ains bit his lip, smiled slightly and reminded: "That... Garcia priest, I know that."

"Ah? What do you know?"

Hearing what Ains said, Garcia tilted her head in confusion. Ains answered, "As for how Claudia regained consciousness... I do know a few details..."

As he spoke, Irons made a little gesture and smiled.

"When I first met Claudia, she was a little crazy and kept telling me about the stars and stuff. I was annoyed and started talking to her about astronomy.

After I finished explaining all the astronomy knowledge I knew, Claudia regained consciousness... Although I don't know why that thing can also cure insanity..."

"Astronomy... knowledge..." Garcia's face gradually became surprised, and she asked quickly: "Mr. Irons! Can you tell me the astronomy knowledge you mentioned to Claudia?!"

"Um... okay, it's nothing mysterious anyway, just some common sense... ah, hiss, maybe it's not available here for the time being."

Irons paused for a moment, organized his words, and began to share with Cassia some astronomy knowledge he had learned from reading popular science books in his spare time in his previous life.

Irons was not sure whether the astronomical knowledge he talked about was absolutely correct. After all, even in Irons' previous life, a world that valued science, there were still many unknowns and controversies in the development of astronomy to the modern day.

But no matter whether the knowledge that Irons understood was correct or not, it was at least countless times more rigorous than the messy astronomy in this alien world!

Irons had some superficial understanding of the astronomy of this other world. The astronomy of this world belonged to the category of magic, called stargazing magic.

Hearing that this thing is beginning to be related to magic, everyone should also understand that astronomy is about to start speeding up! The only difference is that the direction is not science, but metaphysics!

The most basic theory believed in by this stargazing magic is, in Irons' view, an absolute and ultimate heavyweight fallacy.

Because this group of stargazing mages believe that the stars are the source of magic power fixed on the sky by the Trinity God, and their positions are fixed, eternal and unchanging!

By stargazing, one can get closer to the source of magic power and thus gain more powerful magical power.

When Irons heard this, he really wanted to yell, "You're bullshit!"

However, in a world where belief in the Trinity is extremely authoritative, this theory is the absolute truth in the minds of most people.

Therefore, when Ains imparted the more scientific and rigorous astronomical knowledge, the impact on the people of the other world was no longer just opening up the sky, it was opening up their souls!

"...The continent we are on is also part of countless stars. However, because we are planets and not stars, we cannot generate light and heat on our own. We cannot shine like the stars in the sky. Instead, we revolve around the stars and follow fixed orbits..."

"Wait! Mr. Irons!"

After hearing this, Cassia, who was still not quite happy, touched his head and tried to stop Ains.

"Uh...what's wrong? I spoke too fast, can't you understand?"

Garcia took a deep breath, digested the shocking theories he had obtained, and responded solemnly: "No... Mr. Irons, what you said is very easy to understand, especially the concept of stars and planets, which can be said to be an eye-opener for me...

It’s just that some of the theories you mentioned are too new, and I need some time to digest them... Besides, I don’t think I should be the only one listening to your teaching, Mr. Irons.

The knowledge you mentioned is not only very important to me, but also to our entire Banshee clan. It is a treasure of immeasurable value! It is the key to saving our Banshee clan from the cage of thousands of years of hardship!

That's it! Mr. Irons! In the name of the current Banshee priest, I invite... no, I request you to move to the Banshee Temple and explain the true appearance of the starry sky to our Banshee clan!"

As she said that, Cassia leaned forward and bowed her head in worship before Ains. As a snake-bodied banshee, her long and round snake tail made Cassia naturally much taller than ordinary people.

However, in order to show his respect, Cassia not only changed his address to Irons to "you", but also almost coiled his snake tail to the lowest level, just to make himself lower than Irons. It looked very uncomfortable.

Faced with Cassia's worship, Irons was somewhat flattered. Looking at Cassia's excited behavior and attitude, he was a little worried about what would happen if he really listened to Cassia and went to the Banshee Temple to teach.

In their eyes, hasn't he once again become the messenger of the goddess Itana?

My goodness, this immediately reminded Irons of how Claudia had been haunting him all those years ago!

However, back then, it was only Claudia who was bothering me, but now, it’s all those damn banshees!

Are all of you who believe in God a little too extreme? !

Garcia's request made Irons feel troubled for a moment. He could only turn his head to look at Margaret and ask for her opinion with his eyes.

After some thought, Margaret nodded seriously to Irons, asking him to agree to Cassia's request.

She could see that after the astronomy lecture which she could not quite understand, Cassia now had great respect for Irons.

If Cassia, a banshee priestess, is like this, then if other banshees hear Ains's popular science, they will probably be even more fanatical than Cassia.

What does this mean? This means that the Banshee clan will become the second group of demon forces to loyally support Ains after the Demon Lord Engla!

And their reverence for Ains is even deeper than that for Engla, because this group of believers are always like this, and like to go to extremes in their thinking.

By that time, I will marry... ahem, let Ains be my queen husband, then the banshee clan's support for me as the demon king will reach an unprecedented level!

No matter how she thought about it, Margaret couldn't refuse this choice because the support of the Banshee clan was really too important!

However, there are some hidden dangers... that is, we must be careful of some little bitches in the Banshee clan who are trying to seduce Ains! Although the Banshee race is known for its low reproductive desire, but what if?

Margaret felt that she needed to be safe, so she stepped forward, stood in front of Ains, helped Garcia up, and responded: "Garcia, the Demon King Castle will certainly not ignore the request of the Banshee Clan.

This is related to the future of the Banshee clan, so we must be very careful about this matter! Of course, Ains will go to the Banshee Temple to teach you astronomy. I will also go with you to ensure that there will be no accidents during the teaching process..."

Although there was nothing wrong with Margaret's words, Garcia clearly felt the hidden majesty, warning, and...jealousy in the demon king's tone.

This made Garcia respond with a polite but not awkward smile... It seems that the Demon King's desire to protect and possess Mr. Ains is very strong...

Chapter 82 Standing before you is...

The Banshee Temple is located in the eastern part of the Demon King's City, close to the Demon King's Castle.

In the Demon King's City, where every inch of land is valuable, the area occupied by the Banshee Temple is not small at all, it is even larger than the central square of the Demon King's City.

Although it occupies such a large area, no one dares to say bad things about it behind its back. After all, the owner of this temple is a clan of banshees.

As the undisputed high-quality demon clan in the entire Demon Realm, the Banshee clan has become the most untouchable race in the Demon Realm with its small population and strong average strength.

Most of the members of this race live in the Banshee Temple for a long time and rarely leave the house.

So much so that the residents of the Demon King's City are full of awe and curiosity towards this powerful race.

What do these female demons do when they live in the temple? Do they study the terrifying demons that shock the world? Or do they pray and chant for the goddess they believe in like the most devout nuns?
