The Goddess, Please Devour the Evil Deity!

The earth trembled violently, cracks rapidly spreading,
A grotesque giant mouth suddenly erupted from the earth.
The mouth was unfathomably deep, with countless sharp, blade-like teeth inside, emitting a chilling glow that made one’s heart race.

In Gremil's despairing gaze, the figures of Liana, Aeria, and the others fell like meteors, plunging directly into the abyss, mercilessly swallowed by the giant mouth.
The crack, like a set of hopeless fangs, widened as a violent storm raged across the land, kicking up a thick curtain of smoke.
Roars, blood, and tears abruptly merged in a short span of time, staining everything around them red.

The air was thick with the smell of blood, and even time seemed to freeze at that moment.
"No, no..."
Gremil’s eyes widened, his face contorted with a mix of fury and shock.

His breath quickened, his fists clenched, as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
"Liana, no, no..."
Just a moment ago, he had been immersed in the joy of reunion, but now, Gremil’s heart plummeted into the abyss.

After a brief daze, Gremil gritted his teeth, his face contorting with an unprecedented expression of hatred.
"Monster!! Give Liana back—!!"
Fueled by extreme rage, Gremil let out a deafening roar, his spiritual power exploding outward. The white energy around him swirled violently, and the metal sharpness of his aura flashed like searing white light, emitting a blinding cold gleam.

He quickly drew his massive sword from his waist, and the blade immediately crackled with dazzling white lightning, vibrating with a deep hum, like the roar of a god. His eyes blazed with fury, and ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) he turned into a streak of lightning, charging toward the monstrous beast crouched on the earth.
Gremil knew very well how terrifying Forgiveness was.
But he had no choice.

To save Liana, he had to charge at this monstrous beast without hesitation.
At the same time,
The army that had just arrived in the vicinity happened to witness this scene.
Realizing that another servant beast had appeared, the officer who had been chasing after Gremil immediately gave the command to attack.

As a result,
The army that had just burst out of the canyon immediately redirected its firepower and locked onto the target.
Hundreds of war vehicles rotated their cannon mouths simultaneously, and numerous combat mechs pulled the triggers of their laser weapons. The screeching alarms and the roar of engines echoed throughout the canyon.

In an instant, a barrage of missiles, mixed with purifying lasers, cut through the sky like a meteor shower, roaring down toward the writhing tentacles.
However,
Faced with this terrifying large-scale attack, the servant beast, code-named "Forgiveness," swung dozens of massive tentacles, each pulsing with deep and terrifying curse power, exuding an oppressive suffocating pressure.

Accompanied by a piercing low growl, the tentacles swung wildly, as if merging with the very space itself, causing violent spatial tremors.
The shockwaves quickly spread like a tidal wave, causing visible ripples in the air.
Before the incoming missiles could even get close, they were torn into countless pieces by the shockwaves, and the explosive fire spread in all directions; the laser beams were also shredded and dissipated the moment they made contact with the air.

It was as if an invisible barrier devoured everything, rendering any attacks null and void.
And Gremil, too, slammed directly into this terrifying force, his body shaking violently.
Even as a high-ranking Celestial Martial Realm expert, he couldn’t resist the overwhelming spatial distortion.

He felt a sharp pain tearing through his chest.
"Poof!!!"
Gremil coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a broken kite, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"No, it can’t end like this..."
Using his sword to prop himself up, Gremil struggled to rise, his eyes filled with unwillingness and anger as he stared at the "Forgiveness" before him.
He couldn’t fall.

He had to save Liana and Aeria...
He had to...
Taking a deep breath, Gremil began to gather his spiritual energy once more.

However,
He never got the chance to try again.
Because in the next instant, the tentacles, which had been dancing across the sky, suddenly wrapped around "Forgiveness," enveloping it in a massive ball of flesh.

As the pink light emitted from the surface of the tentacles spread and the surrounding space shook,
In the next moment,
This massive, beast-like Fallen Beast suddenly disappeared from its place.

The oppressive curse energy that filled the air also vanished in an instant.
"How... how could this be?" Gremil trembled, staring at the empty, desolate land ahead.
He fell to his knees, shaking uncontrollably.

Recalling the moment when Liana was devoured by Forgiveness, the look of despair, sorrow, and grief in her eyes, Gremil felt as though his heart had been completely shattered. The overwhelming emotions of intense pain and frustration spread wildly in his mind.
"I have to..."
Thinking this, Gremil took a deep breath and gathered his spiritual energy once more.

However,
He never got the chance to try again.
Because in the next moment, the tentacles dancing through the air suddenly surrounded "Forgiveness," wrapping it into a massive ball of flesh.

As the pink glow from the surface of the tentacles expanded and the surrounding space trembled,
In the next instant,
This giant, beastly Fallen Beast suddenly disappeared from its place.

The oppressive curse energy that had spread across the world also vanished into thin air.
"How... how could this be?" Gremil trembled, staring at the empty, desolate land before him.
He fell to his knees, shaking uncontrollably.

Recalling the earlier moment,
When Liana had been devoured by Forgiveness, the despair, sorrow, and grief in her eyes, Gremil felt his heart completely breaking. The intense sadness and anger spread wildly in his mind.
"Damn it—!!" Gremil slammed his fist into the ground in fury.

...
Watching Gremil's tense expression, as well as the empty wasteland ahead, Officer Gelot sat down on the ground with a complicated expression.
The previous tension had evaporated, replaced instead by deep sorrow.

Sigh...
With a heavy sigh, Gelot slowly picked up the nearby communicator and solemnly issued orders to his superior.
"Withdraw the troops... Also, notify the President... the mission failed. Liana and her daughters have been devoured by Forgiveness."

...
At the same time,
Several dozen miles away, in the area where Crowell was meeting Hein,

After being ravaged by Forgiveness's power, the mountain range here had already fallen into a state of destruction.
Dozens of Anlosi family guards, after enduring the shockwaves, had been reduced to broken bodies, their flesh and internal organs scattered across the ground, mixing with the scorched earth, creating a scene that resembled a hellish landscape.
The once imposing second son of the Anlosi family, Hein, had been so thoroughly corrupted by the terrifying curse power that his body had turned to mush, with barely any recognizable remains left... The most intact part was perhaps the half-head lying on the ground.

The one remaining eye in the head was filled with unwillingness and fear, reflecting Hein's deep despair before his death.
However,
Even Hein's remains didn’t stay long, as they were crushed underfoot and turned to ashes in the raging flames.

"Failure, as expected. This useless thing," the red-haired man coldly remarked, surveying the carnage around him.
Meanwhile,
A deep, emotionless voice came through the red-haired man’s earpiece.

"Lord Mo An De, we’ve received news from the joint forces of the Western Siwa Alliance... Liana and her daughters have been devoured by Forgiveness."
"Devoured by Forgiveness?"
Mo An De furrowed his brow in confusion.

"Wasn’t it the Earth Evil God? The Alliance has footage that shows it was Forgiveness."
"Yes, but something’s off."
"Is there a problem, Lord Mo An De? There is no trace of the Earth Evil God at the scene," the voice on the other end of the communication device replied, now tinged with a hint of confusion.

"Is that so?"
Mo An De gazed thoughtfully into the distance, toward the area where the Thousand-Faced Bird had fought against Bai Lianyue.
The Alliance's technological equipment might have been unable to detect the battlefield due to interference from the curse power and miasma, but as a top expert from the Return Realm...

Even though he was miles away...
Even though the body he was using now was somewhat special...
Mo An De still had an intuitive grasp of the situation on the battlefield.

He could clearly sense that the curse energy and life force of the Thousand-Faced Bird had disappeared in an instant.
Although the Thousand-Faced Bird wasn’t the most powerful servant, being close to the middle tier, it wasn’t something that could be easily crushed.
Even for him, taking down the Thousand-Faced Bird would have required a fierce battle.

From the change in the Thousand-Faced Bird’s aura just now, it was clear that the creature had been instantly killed.
If the witch wasn’t in the Enigmatic Abyss right now, the only one capable of doing this would be the Earth Evil God...
Since the Earth Evil God appeared on the battlefield, how could she—already having such a deep obsession with the Goddess’s children—let Liana and her daughters go?

How could Forgiveness make a move... especially in front of the army?
"Strange," Mo An De murmured to himself, his brow furrowing in confusion.
The next moment,

As if an idea struck him, Mo An De’s eyes narrowed sharply. He then ignored the ongoing conversation in his earpiece, crossed his arms, and slowly turned to face the location of the Enigmatic Abyss.
—"Yego, could it be that your lingering consciousness hasn’t yet disappeared?"
