The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"Please ask the two officers to help send a message, saying that Windsor Sadu requests an audience with Her Majesty the Saintess, and has come to fulfill his promise."

The old man wore a warm smile. "Your Holiness, you should still remember my name."

A short while later, just as Councilor Winder had predicted, the gates of the manor opened, and two servants emerged from inside, leading Councilor Winder into the residence.

The number of Revelation members inside the mansion was far greater than it appeared from the outside. Some were leaning against the wall with their arms crossed, while others sat on benches wiping their sabers. They were all keeping a close eye on the uninvited guests who had entered through the main gate.

"The rest of you, please wait in the lobby on the first floor. Mr. Wendt, please come with me."

Member of Parliament Wendt showed no displeasure at the other party's wariness, and his henchmen obediently remained in the hall, closely monitored by a group of members of the Holy Light Revelation Society.

Ascending the stairs to the third floor, in the middle of the corridor in what was originally the lord's study, Councilor Wendt finally met the elusive silver-haired girl.

Ella Hayville was sitting in the lord's chair, one hand supporting her cheek, her crimson eyes scrutinizing the newcomer.

Because of her petite stature, the girl had to put several books under her bottom to barely raise her eye level above the lord's desk, so that when he came in, he would only be able to see the top of her head.

However, this did not diminish her majesty. The renowned Holy Maiden of Light was also the legendary witch who was said to destroy the world. Even though Councilor Wendt had already prepared himself mentally, the indescribable pressure he felt upon seeing her again still made him feel somewhat breathless.

On the surface, Ella and Senator Wind did not have much of a conflict of opinion.

But based on Ella's understanding of him, this person was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

In terms of combat strength alone, this old man is no match for Ella, and even the player followers guarding the gate could probably take him down with just one hand.

But upon closer examination, the things the other party has done so far—betraying the company, stealing sacred artifacts, establishing disciples, turning the followers of the Dark Shepherds against their cause, secretly stirring up the situation on the continent—are all quite extraordinary on their own.

Even though this guy was just an old man who looked like he couldn't even kill a chicken, Ella was extremely wary of him suddenly showing up at this time.

"Long time no see, Councilor Wendt. You look much older than before."

As they were speaking, the two members of the Revelation Society behind Councilor Wendt had already closed the door.

"Please don't look at me, Your Holiness, you do look much younger than before."

Councilor Wendt spoke slowly and deliberately, “This is perhaps a god, an existence that humans can only look up to in their entire lives.”

"I think your late-night visit wasn't just to praise me."

“Your Majesty is truly insightful. I have come here today to cooperate with you and, at the same time, to fulfill an agreement that you made with your subordinates.”

Although Representative Wind did not explicitly state what this agreement was, Ella had already guessed it.

"The Dream Goddess, she really is connected to you."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in the petite girl's eyes.

From the various events that have occurred, it is not difficult to see the secret cooperation between the goddess of dreams, Ysera, and Councilor Wind.

Miss Luo Yuan is the chosen one of the Moon Guardians. Without the permission of the Dream God, how could she have so easily left the company and disappeared in the Western Frontier?

When Luo Yuan and the dragon girl Qina invaded the guesthouse, everyone on the entire floor fell into a deep sleep, but only Miss Mo Feng remained awake, thus "accidentally" clearing herself of suspicion;

Deborah and Dorma were also among those whom the Dream God had repeatedly instructed the spy team not to reveal their information. The real intention was likely to prevent those at the executive level from noticing them, while the Dream God could easily erase the memories of other ordinary people…

There are actually many similar clues, but there is only one thing that confuses Ella. Compared to the other situations, it is not a big deal, but it greatly affects her judgment of the nature of the Dream God.

Although the Dream God is cunning, he doesn't seem like a cruel deity.

But during the incident in the Western Frontier, many spies were killed by Qina. Was this also part of the enemy's plan?

Perhaps sensing Ella's thoughts, Councilor Wendt smiled faintly and said softly, "To be precise, our relationship with that person is merely one of cooperation."

"Furthermore, the cooperation began with that operation in the western frontier. Miss Luo had some friction with another of my companions, but this also happened to create a bridge for communication between us."

Hmm... that makes sense.

Ella narrowed her eyes. If the Dream God only started cooperating with Miss Luo and China through some kind of communication after their battle, then it would be understandable why China had shown no mercy to the outpost spies before.

This relieved Ella somewhat. If possible, she really didn't want that seemingly soft and cute goddess to be someone who only treated human subordinates as expendable resources.

While it might be somewhat unfair to the deceased spy if they only cooperated later, given the Dream God's unwavering belief in achieving the goal of a "godless world," it is indeed understandable that he would set aside his hatred and join forces with someone who shares the same objective.

"After that, Miss Luo Yuan pretended to leave the company, but in reality, she served as our anchor point for communication with that person, secretly carrying out the plan."

"The plan you're talking about is to transport those two Dark Shepherds?"

"That was originally just that person's plan, but now, indeed, we have also participated in it and become a part of it."

Councilor Wendt nodded respectfully. "The intrusion into the guesthouse was actually orchestrated by China and Miss Luo, who deliberately found a candidate in the upgrade plan and replaced the girl named Deborah with one of them after changing her appearance."

So that's how it is... what they meant by "finding someone" was actually finding candidates for the upgrade program. Ella understood.

"What is so special about Deborah?"

"Her bloodline is slightly special."

Councilor Wendell continued, “You may have heard that Elias, the leader of the Dark Shepherds, is one of only two beings who ascended to godhood in human form.”

“And Deborah’s ancestor was that other god-man.”

Chapter 214 The Fallen God

"At the beginning of the new age of gods, the light chose two outstanding humans based on their achievements in the old age of gods, bestowed upon them supreme power, and elevated them to the status of gods."

"One of them was Elias Eldridge, the wise leader of humanity during the Chaos Era. He later founded the Guardian Family of the New Age of Gods, becoming the initial source of spreading the doctrines of light and life."

"The other one is Diablo Alcanus, a brave warrior who led humanity out of darkness and later established the first human empire, and was also the first king in human history."

"The former needs no further explanation, but the latter, during his long reign, gradually became consumed by his ever-expanding ambitions and finally ceased to be content with being merely a god-king of earthly beings, instead pointing his sword at the order of the heavens."

"That was the first war between humans and gods. The flames of war swept from the earth to the sky and burned the entire continent."

"But before the light could even make a move, Diablo was defeated by his former partner, Elias, through cunning."

"However, the body is perishable, but the soul is indestructible. Elias then sealed Diabora's remnant soul into the ley lines and had a branch of the Ling family guard it."

"The branch of the family responsible for guarding the area later branched out and formed the oldest empire in human history, Aslan."

"And Diablo was stripped of the title of 'god of men' in subsequent doctrines and given the name of sin—a fallen angel."

After a brief statement, Councilor Wendt had given a fairly comprehensive overview of the background.

Ella also understood a lot. No wonder the name "Deborah" sounded strangely familiar. In her previous life as Ye Xiao, she had indeed seen the name of this fallen angel.

However, that was during the middle of the world, when the Fallen Angels descended upon Aslan. Firstly, it was too far from Ye Xiao, who was adventuring with the Seven Stars Society at that time. Secondly, the only information about his real name, Ye Xiao, was speculation from many players on player forums.

"Diapola Alcanus" as the first human king is just one of the guesses. There are several other names, such as the first chosen god of light, which are also among the guesses of the players. Therefore, Ayla only has a slight impression of this name.

In addition, Deborah is a dark-skinned girl, while Diaborah seems to be a male king, so it's understandable that Ella couldn't connect the two in her mind at first.

"And the Ascension Plan, although on the surface it is the Dark Shepherds and Caesar Corporation selecting suitable humans to bear divine power in order to deal with you, in reality it is just using these people as sacrifices to leverage the power of the Divine Tomb to break Elias's seal."

"Only pure-blooded humans can receive a response from the Divine Tomb; this is a law established by the Light when it was half-fallen."

"So you hid Deborah in the ascension plan in order to use her as a channel to break the seal on the fallen angels?"

Ella rubbed her chin with her small hands.

"Just as the Holy Maiden said."

"But how can you guarantee that Diablo will follow your ideas?"

Ella raised an eyebrow.

“He doesn’t need to follow our ideas,”

Councilor Wendt shook his head. "He and Elias are mortal enemies. After waking up, he will only have one target."

"This will also undermine the true purpose of the ascension plan. Deborah will act as a medium to transfer the divine power, and Elias will temporarily lose the opportunity to break through the seal from the seabed."

"The two will fight each other, and after that, whether Elias or Diablo remains, they will both be at their last gasp."

"Even if they are gods and humans at their last gasp, are you really confident you can solve this?"

Ella tilted her head.

"Isn't there you here?"

Representative Wendt smiled.

"I am the world-destroying witch,"

Ella chuckled and waved her hand. "I am the final victor. It shouldn't be the worst outcome for you."

"Your Holiness is joking."

Councilor Wendt bowed and said, “Molten City is in crisis now. The reason you have the patience to listen to my rambling is probably because you have secretly sent a team to rescue the refugees.”

"The Dark Shepherd and the Caesar Company slander your achievements, but I know them very well and admire them."

Upon hearing this, Ella not only did not relax, but instead became more vigilant.

Of course, Councilor Wendt's flattery could be ignored. Everyone here is a shrewd old fox, and it would be naive of her to actually believe his endless praise.

From a standpoint of both Senator Wendt and the God of Dreams, their ultimate goal is to completely eliminate all the gods in the world, and Ella is undoubtedly one of them.

Therefore, even if there is cooperation, it can only be a temporary cooperation targeting Elias, a fact that Ella is well aware of.

But one thing is one thing, the rescue team is a very secretive matter. If even Councilor Wendt knew about this, Ella couldn't help but suspect that there might be people from the Holy Light Revelation Society among them.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment on the surface, and Ella naturally didn't reveal much, only nodding slightly.

"You know quite a lot."

"I only know what I should know."

"I am a member of parliament," said Wendt unhurriedly.

"Then, tell me your conditions."

Ella scrutinized the other person closely, but as before, she still couldn't discern anything unusual.

Back then, she used to mock the various departments in the company for their apparent cooperation while secretly harboring their own ulterior motives. Now, it seems she has fallen into a similar situation herself.

She had spies in Molten Core and witnessed Elias casually slaughtering three dragons. The strength that guy displayed was just the tip of the iceberg; even she, in her prime, would probably have difficulty contending with him, let alone in her current weakened, childlike state.

Therefore, Ella definitely needs someone she can work with.

"The Dark Shepherds and the company's attention are now focused on Molten City. Elias has moved on to his new avatar and will need some time to slumber."

Representative Wind continued, "This means that Leonia is at its weakest point right now, and it is the perfect time to seize power in Silvana."

"And your recovery only requires divine power as a source of nourishment... The few corporate executives who remain in the palace and practice the will of the old gods should be good sources of nourishment."

"My companions can take care of the refugees in Molten City, and you only need to focus on taking down Aslan's Palace."

"I see. The seventh divine tomb is beneath Molten City, which is indeed an excellent lure for the Dark Shepherds."

The silver-haired girl nodded, a playful smile playing on her lips.

"But executive officers are all Saint-level, so your move is a bit like using one tiger to devour another, hehe."

"There's nothing we can do; we humans are ultimately weak in the face of the gods."

Unexpectedly, when faced with criticism, MP Winder readily admitted, "This is how we survive."

"interesting."

A strange light flashed in Ella's eyes.

"Then so be it."

Chapter 215 The Imperial City is in Crisis

South of the imperial city, it was already late at night.

A large number of people galloped through the night, their torches shining like stars in the darkness, and gathered outside the city gate.

The Aslan officer guarding the gate saw a large group of people approaching from the fields and the banners of various lords illuminated by the firelight from the tower, and immediately became nervous.

"Quickly, light the signal fire! Something's wrong..."

However, before he could give the order, his personal guard plunged a dagger into his lower back from behind.

He turned around in disbelief, and for a moment felt his eyes become unusually heavy.

"Don't worry, it won't be fatal, sir, but I'm afraid you'll have to get some sleep."

The gatekeeper officer fell to the ground with a thud, and two guards searched his body, took the seal, and went outside the tower, shouting to the surrounding soldiers.

"The commander has ordered: open the city gates!"

The soldiers stationed outside the tower didn't think much of it. Although they were a little confused about the situation, since it was an order from the officer's personal guard, they just had to do it.
