The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"Then I won't stand on ceremony,"

Ye Xiao shrugged, his demeanor and actions more like someone visiting than a prisoner. "What's the name of the deity you worship?"

"You lackey of the Holy Temple! You dare to know the name of my Lord!"

"Sanctuary beasts! Die!..."

"Orfindo! Can you shut up?!"

Agnes felt a pang of panic seeing the restless cultists around her, fearing that they might be torn apart by the attackers.

"Stop yelling, stop yelling. Can't you see I'm talking to someone? You have no manners at all."

Ye Xiao glanced at Agnes and said without any mercy.

Anyway, he no longer needs to indulge Agnes.

"you……"

Agnes' eyes widened. "What did you say?!?? You damn..."

Ye Xiao ignored Agnes, who had fallen into another fit of madness, and turned to the girl in black robes. "Your family members are so unfriendly. You're all Templar Knights, and you and Bobel get along quite well, so why do you have to berate me for just asking a couple of questions?"

"puff,"

The girl in black robes covered her mouth and chuckled, "Mr. Bob is a family member who has already met with Chu Zhenzhen with us. His identity as a Templar Knight is dead, so of course it's different."

"Wow? So, do I have a chance to become your family?"

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow with a mischievous smile.

"Are you really a Templar Knight?"

The girl in black robes was speechless at Ye Xiao's words. "It depends on your performance. But according to my lord's will, you seem to have other uses."

"The Lord's will...?"

Ye Xiao was slightly taken aback, then looked at the statue beside her, "You mean this deity of yours? You can still hear His voice?"

Does this guy mean that they not only worship a Lydia, but also receive her commands?

"Besides the gods, who is worthy of being called 'Lord' by believers?"

The girl in black robes was surprised by Ye Xiao's astonishment, then laughed as if she suddenly realized something, "Oh right, I forgot, you Holy Knights blindly worship this arrogant woman as your 'master'."

Ye Xiao ignored the black-robed girl's sarcasm and asked again, "Interesting... Could you please tell me the name of the deity you worship?"

"Why do I sense that you're unusually fixated on the name of my Lord?"

The girl in the black robe tilted her head slightly.

"Just consider it satisfying my curiosity."

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "The name of God should be a well-known gospel among believers, so there shouldn't be any problem in talking about it."

"That's what I said..."

The girl in black robes narrowed her green eye, the only eye visible beneath the bandage, and leaned closer to Ye Xiao's face. "Why do I keep feeling like you're a little suspicious?"

"I've fallen to this state, what's there to be suspicious about?"

Ye Xiao revealed a sincere look in his eyes.

"Ah."

The girl in the black robe straightened up and turned around.

"Well, to be honest, I heard from my colleagues in the Holy Temple in Loren that a divine incarnation ceremony orchestrated by the Dark Shepherds had taken place in the Imperial City."

Ye Xiao stretched his neck.

"I'm just a little curious, could it be that this deity of yours... appeared around that time?"

Chapter 87 "Lydia"

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, the girl in black robes let out a cold snort, her tone full of contempt and disdain.

"Ha, of course not. That ceremony was merely the result of another faction's unauthorized actions, attempting to use the chosen one of the Light as a vessel for our Lord, which is utterly absurd."

Ye Xiao pondered the meaning behind her words, "I see. So your god did not descend."

"Who told you that?"

The girl in black robes suddenly waved her cloak, stepped into the center of the hall, and stood beneath the statue. "Their failure is not our failure."

"So... you successfully summoned that deity in another location?"

Ye Xiao pressed for an answer.

"no doubt."

The girl stood beneath the magnificent statue, her arms wrapped in bandages and raised high, saying, "The time has come, just in time for you to witness it with your own eyes."

As the girl finished speaking, a believer lit the brazier beneath the statue's base, and a heavy bell suddenly rang out, as if invisible ripples were spreading throughout the grotto.

The remaining Shepherd followers, facing the colossal statue that resembled a black sun, knelt down, raised their hands, and chanted obscure incantations in unison, their voices rising and falling like the sacred hymns of a church choir.

A group of Templar Knights, bound by ropes, stood out awkwardly among the prostrate worshippers, looking at each other blankly, bewildered.

The girl in black robes turned to look at Ye Xiao, "Weren't you curious about my master's name? Now I will reveal it."

"Lord of life, weaver of the end of time, supreme deity of the future and eternity, your most faithful servant begs your gaze."

The girl prayed to the statue of the god, her words filled with piety and reverence.

As she prayed, it seemed as if boundless shadows spread from the base of the statue, gradually covering the entire altar and slowly enveloping everyone.

Darkness swallowed the flames, but the colossus remained clearly visible. As everything around them was shrouded in shadow, it was as if they were in an endless void, with only the solemn and strange statue remaining, like a black sun hanging above the abyss.

"You lowly huskies of the Sanctuary, open your eyes wide! You are about to face the bloodline of the ancient god Heyer, the great sovereign destined to replace the light and ascend the throne of God, Lydia!"

Even with bandages wrapped around her, Ye Xiao could still sense the black-robed girl's excitement.

He was no stranger to the fervent prayers of believers to their deities, and the atmosphere at that moment was solemn and dignified.

However, a strange sense of embarrassment arose within him, as if his cool and awesome online nickname was being publicly and worshipfully called out by someone. Instead of feeling powerful, he felt an indescribable sense of shame.

Furthermore, Ye Xiao was also slightly surprised. Although the other party used the name of Ella's true form, it was clear that they were not summoning Ella herself.

After all, he was quite certain that he had never had any dealings with these people.

So, what exactly is this so-called Lydia?

Initially, Ye Xiao guessed that it might be the God of Life. After all, judging from the imperial selection incident, if one could find one of His tombs scattered throughout the world, it might be possible to summon a part of His soul.

But upon hearing the name of the god recited by the girl, this conjecture was immediately disproven—Ye Xiao believed that with the prestige of the God of Life, there was no need to borrow the name of his offspring.

After a moment of silence, a hidden and dark energy emerged, like a biting cold wind, instantly sweeping across the entire area.

Ye Xiao caught a familiar aura in the fluctuations. He saw the center of the giant statue slowly crack open, and the spherical body opened like a giant eye, revealing a blood-red pupil, looking down at the crowd below.

The moment the statue opened its eyes, the members of the court turned pale and their pupils trembled.

When facing a deity, even just a projection, an instinctive fear will involuntarily dominate the entire body, just as a lower creature accidentally witnesses the king at the top of the life chain and instantly feels its own insignificance and helplessness.

Even a young knight as resolute as Decari couldn't help but feel his knees buckle and kneel down under that gaze, his proud head bowed.

The other believers prostrated themselves in devotion, their backs bent, like rows of humble shrimp.

Only Ye Xiao was examining the eyes on the statue with great interest, his thoughts wandering.

Indeed, they are similar in appearance, temperament, and the imposing pressure emanating from a high-ranking being, as well as that dark and cold aura.

This appears to be merely a projection; the true form remains unknown.

Ye Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly.

If he couldn't still sense his third body in the void, and even let that big black guy play cat's cradle with his tentacles when he was bored, he might have thought he was a fake "Lydia".

Ye Xiao stood out from the crowd of worshippers bowing their heads in deference. The enormous eye quickly noticed this anomaly and fixed its cold gaze on him.

As if a silent decree had been issued, the black-robed female priestess kneeling at the front slowly rose, turned her head to look at Ye Xiao, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

“Ignorant mortal! Now that you have seen my Lord, why do you not worship?”

“I’ve already said that I am a devout believer in the light, how could I worship your gods?”

Ye Xiao retorted confidently, her voice echoing in the shadowy, silent cave.

This matter-of-fact tone left the girl in black robes speechless for a moment.

She didn't quite understand why this guy... could still maintain such a calm and self-assured demeanor even when facing the gods directly.

Unlike those fanatical believers of the Holy Light, who were all teary-eyed and shouting the name of the Holy Light, this guy's rebuttal was eerily calm, as if it were perfectly natural for him to be a Loren and therefore not eat Aslan food.

A hint of killing intent flashed in the black-robed girl's eyes.

She spared these Templars because there were ways to transform their minds, just like Bob, and there was a chance to use them for her own purposes in the future.

But this guy is a bit too strange; I'm afraid we can't keep him around.

However, at that moment, the red eyes on the giant statue opened and closed, seemingly conveying some kind of instruction to the girl in black robes.

The girl in black robes was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and bowed slightly to the huge statue.

"...Yes, my lord, since it is your will."

After saying that, she turned back and glanced at Ye Xiao, "Consider yourself lucky. You have received the mercy of my Lord, who will not hold this against you."

It's alright to show pity.

Ye Xiao really wanted to say that he wasn't particularly interested, but it was better to avoid trouble. Since he had already infiltrated the area, he might as well observe and see if he could find anything interesting.

Fortunately, he hadn't drawn his sword and started a massacre in the village earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have known that there was a deity hiding in the Dark Shepherd Order who was using the name Lydia.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao looked at the eyes on the giant statue with amusement. It was a pity that this was just a projection. If he could find the other party's avatar in the real world, he might have a chance to follow the clues and find the other party's true body in the void.

When the time comes, let your big eyes dart over there; the other person's expression will definitely be priceless.

Chapter 88 Evacuation

Ignoring Ye Xiao, the black-robed female priest listened quietly to the silent murmurs coming from the giant eyeball.

Although Ye Xiao felt they were performing a silent play, the girl in black robes seemed to have received some kind of instruction.

Then, the surrounding darkness receded, and the enormous eye on the stone sculpture slowly closed.

The chilling aura dissipated, and the silent séance came to an end.

But all the believers remained prostrate, not daring to rise, until the black-robed girl kneeling directly below the statue turned around, at which point they respectfully raised their heads.

The girl's eerie green eyes swept over the believers, and she announced loudly, "First of all, I express my regret to you all. Because we have been spotted by the hounds of the Holy Temple, we have no choice but to abandon this stronghold."

“Those bloodthirsty jackals of the court will likely come here in droves to investigate after discovering their colleagues have gone missing.”

Upon hearing this, the believers immediately glared angrily at the members of the Inquisition, whose faces had turned pale from facing divine power.

"But rest assured, everyone. Thanks be to our Lord for His mercy, we have been given the glorious mission to go to a faraway land and establish a new kingdom!"

Does "opening up a new country" mean establishing a foothold in other places?

Ye Xiao looked around at the group of believers and noticed that they all showed excited and thrilled expressions after hearing these words.

"Praise be to my Lord, may life continue forever."

They recited in unison.

"This is both an honor and a test. We have lost a home, but we will shoulder the heavy responsibility of spreading the gospel of our Lord."

"And you, my brothers and sisters, will all become the founding fathers of the new nation!"

"Praise be to my Lord, the night is immortal."

“Offer everything you have to the Lord, dear brothers and sisters. We are shepherds of darkness, saints who walk in the night for our Lord to ascend the throne.”

"Let us carry the echo of life to the earth that has not yet received the blessing of our Lord!"

"Praise be to my Lord, praise be to the eternal night of life!"

Watching the fanatical believers raise their hands and cheer, Ye Xiao recalled the scene of him being mistakenly caught up in a pyramid scheme on Blue Star many years ago.

He wanted to add "Applause, please" afterward, but that would have been inappropriate.

After the girl in black robes finished reading the decree from the gods, she turned her gaze to the members of the Inquisition team.
