Doris's mind was filled with flashbacks, and just as she began to replay them in her mind, she suddenly saw a figure appear in front of her.
“Celia?!”
Suddenly, 'Celia' appeared in front of her, arms outstretched, and a powerful holy light emanated from her body.
She wanted to shield them from the pollution storm?!
Doris was stunned. All she saw was Celia suddenly turn around and smile at her.
It was then submerged by dense pollution.
"do not want!"
Doris screamed herself hoarse, her eyes bloodshot.
The pollution erupted violently, transforming into a pollution storm even stronger than when the ghost ship was destroyed, sweeping in all directions.
The entire sky darkened!
At the eye of the storm, a tiny, divine glimmer shielded the entire Saintess Squad from the impact of the polluted storm.
The divine light flickered briefly, then shattered with a soft cracking sound.
Doris and her three companions were all safe and sound.
Except for Celia.
While in her mental space, Celia was still wondering why Ross smiled at Doris at the end when she suddenly felt herself regaining control of her body.
Then came the endless exhaustion and emptiness, along with the intense pain and the turbulent pollution that assaulted her spirit.
The girl's vision went black, and she collapsed limply, only to be caught by Doris who rushed over.
"Celia? Celia! Wake up! You bastard!"
Doris's voice was trembling with sobs, and she was crying like a little kitten.
Ross's phantom coalesced beside Celia, watching the scene with pleasure.
Ah, making others regret their actions is always so interesting, no matter when.
The other saintesses also gathered around.
Just as Ross was about to watch the others cry and wail, he suddenly sensed something and looked sharply at the corpse of the Blue Winged Seahorse.
"Poseidon?"
He rushed over quickly, reached into the blue-winged seahorse's head, and pulled out a phantom.
The phantom figure, with Ross gripping its neck, stared at Ross in horror.
"Rose?!"
"The evil god Ross?!"
"You...you broke the seal?!"
Ross chuckled maliciously: "It really is the Sea God, even if it's just a soul imprint. No wonder this blue-winged seahorse, corrupted by the abyss, can still control the ruins and set up such intricate rules. So it was you who was behind this."
The soul imprint of the sea god Ethel struggled: "Let me go!"
"Let you go? How could I? I've wanted to kill you all for a long time. Even though it's not your true form, it wouldn't be bad to beat up a soul imprint."
After saying that, Ross punched Ethel in the head before Ethel could speak.
Ethel's soul imprint immediately dimmed.
"One more punch!"
Ethel's soul became faint and indistinct.
He suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, it's useless. So what if you break the seal? The God King has already figured out a way to kill you. Just wait, the God King will thoroughly settle accounts with you!"
"Is that so? Before that, let me settle accounts with you first."
With the final punch, Ethel's soul imprint was shattered on the spot.
Ross used his mental power to envelop the scattered soul and send it into Celia's mental space to nourish her soul.
"Although it's just a mark, it's perfect for Celia. It can serve as nourishment to sustain her soul, which is good."
After removing the mark of the sea god, Ross clapped his hands and continued to enjoy watching the girls cry.

Chapter 172 Lord Ross went to treat Phil again.
"Well……"
Celia slowly opened her eyes, blinked, and looked at the white ceiling above.
"here it is……"
Celia sat up, feeling a slight headache. She rubbed her head, and the relevant memories slowly surfaced in her mind.
I think I'm...
In the Lost Lighthouse, after Lord Ross took over the fight, he fainted due to overexertion and magic contamination.
Celia quickly checked her body and found that the contamination inside her body had disappeared.
Suddenly, a peeled apple was handed to me from the side.
Celia looked over and saw Doris turn her head to look in the other direction.
"Benovia told me to give this to you. Humph, what's with the heroism? It's not like we can't stop the pollution outbreak."
"Thank you." Celia sensed that Doris's attitude was a bit strange, but she was very thirsty at the moment, so she took the apple from Doris and took a big bite.
The sweetness of the apples invigorated her. Celia looked around at her surroundings. "Where am I?"
“The school camp’s rescue area.” Doris still didn’t look at Celia.
Looking at the back of her head, Celia quickly recalled the scene where Ross suddenly turned around and smiled at Doris when he was fighting the final outbreak of pollution.
Could it be that this guy is behaving so strangely because of that smile?
Please don't have any strange ideas!
The girl couldn't help but feel a chill.
"Huh? Celia, you're awake?"
A voice came from outside. Celia looked up and saw Benovia and Anko walking in.
Accompanying them were two priests dressed in holy priest robes.
When the two holy priests saw her sit up, they quickly walked over.
“Miss Celia, please lie down. Your condition is quite serious. Although Miss Phil has purified all the pollution in your body, facing the pollution outbreak has still caused serious damage to your body. You need to rest.”
"Are you injured?"
Celia was stunned for a moment, and the belated pain spread throughout her body.
There were no visible injuries, but my whole body ached.
Two holy priests cast healing spells on her, their hands glowing with divine light.
Under the healing spell, the pain slowly disappeared.
"You'll need two more days of treatment to fully recover. Miss Celia, please stay here for the next two days. If you need anything, just let us know."
"Thank you."
Celia obediently lay down.
Benovia sat down by the bed and smiled, "Thank you so much, Celia. Without you, we would all be the new masters of the Lost Lighthouse."
Celia hurriedly asked, "What's the situation with the lost lighthouse?"
Anke said, "It has been completely conquered. The restrictions on the fourth tier have been lifted. The school's instructors and the Holy See bishops have entered the lighthouse to retrieve the artifacts and data inside."
Benovia said, "The rumors are true. There really are ancient navigation techniques and a lot of navigation-related artifacts in the lost lighthouse. Professor Abros said that with these materials, we may be able to open up a completely new route in the storms of the sea and have the opportunity to explore another continent on the other side of the ocean."
Whether it's navigation technology or another continent across the ocean, it's all too distant for Celia at the moment. She's more concerned about whether the Blue Winged Seahorse has dropped any useful loot, and whether the Holy Court and the Ishtar Empire have rewarded them for their successful conquest.
Before Benovia could even speak, Doris snorted and said, "The rewards from the Ishtar Empire aren't delivered so easily. A few hundred gold coins—their review process alone would probably take three months. Delivering them by the start of the second year is already the fastest they can manage. It's just a couple hundred gold coins; why bother about it?"
Celia said, "Of course you don't care if you have money. To me, even 10 silver coins are precious."
As she spoke, she looked at Benovia and asked, "By the way, where's Phil? The Holy Priest just said Phil cleansed me of the pollution. Where is she?"
“She’s out setting up a stall again to help people clean up pollution.” Benovia shook her head. “I don’t quite understand why she’s so keen on setting up a stall.”
"Just like how you enjoy reading, it's purely a hobby."
Celia lay down and relaxed.
Suddenly, she noticed that Ross was not in the mental space.
There were no puppets in his own puppet storage space.
She paused for a moment, then looked up and asked Benovia, "Benovia, what happened after we defeated the Blue Winged Seahorse? What happened to the puppets that were destroyed by the Blue Winged Seahorse?"
Benovia said, "After you passed out, the Lighthouse had completed the raid and lifted the fourth-tier restriction. We then contacted Professor Abros in the camp, and he led a team in directly to bring us back. The school repaired all the damaged puppets for free."
Celia asked, "Where do I keep my puppet?"
"Your puppet, didn't you get up to put it away halfway through? Have you forgotten?"
"Huh? Oh, let me see... It really is, he's still not awake."
Celia tidied her slightly messy hair, feeling the empty puppet storage space. After carefully sensing it, she discovered that the puppet seemed to have left the school camp. She wasn't sure of the exact location, but it wasn't far away.
What does Lord Ross use the puppet for?
The girl was curious.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Rose, who had been summoned using Celia's puppet, was dressed in a black robe and sat in front of Phil's stall, purifying the pollution within Phil's body.
Phil was very reserved, letting Ross hold his hand and treat him, not daring to make any move.
This continued until Ross completed his treatment.
“I told you, if you let the pollution enter your internal organs again, they will be unable to purify themselves. Why didn’t you listen?”
“I…” Phil opened his mouth, lowered his head, and said cautiously, “I have a friend who was heavily polluted while trying to save us, so I had to save her.”
Ross knew, of course, that Phil was referring to Celia.
In the end, in order to block the storm of demonic energy, he not only drained Celia's magic power, but also used the demonic energy immunity blessing he had given her.
However, the amount of pollution was too great, and it was still impossible to resist all the demonic energy pollution. In addition, it was necessary to protect others from the demonic energy storm, so Ross had the pollution stored in Celia's body first, and would deal with it slowly later.
Who knew that after returning to the camp, Phil disregarded his own condition and whether she could digest the demonic energy in Celia's body, and forcibly took on all the demonic energy pollution for Celia.
Seeing this, Ross had no choice but to let Celia "wake up," take the puppet back, and then secretly release it again at some point to control the puppet and help Phil solve the pollution problem.
This is the third purification.
"If you continue to be stubborn and unrepentant, then prepare to become my servant."
Ross's smile was sinister.
Chapter 173 Objective: Heading to the Star Spirit Tree
Just like the previous times, Ross vanished instantly after speaking, conveniently blocking the memories of those around him so that they would forget his existence.
Although Phil was used to his elusive nature and his insistence on "only letting her see him," Ross still wanted to be on the safe side.
Even Phil's memories were slightly obscured, such as the things the mercenaries said to him when they were getting impatient—Later, Ross used his mental power to guide them and add hints so that they would simply ignore his presence.
However, I always block them from view before leaving, in case anything unexpected happens.
After several such incidents, Phil had come to accept that he was being targeted by the evil god Ross.
At the same time, Ross also hinted to her that her connection with him would deepen as the pollution progressed.
The girl showed fear, but she quickly asked a question—
