Chapter 1264: 21. No Need for Proof

Cold sweat began to seep from Muen’s forehead.

According to the normal plot, a boy and girl who had not seen each other for a long time, after going through a life-and-death crisis, finally became unable to suppress the feelings in their hearts and kissed each other passionately......the atmosphere had basically already become as heated as dry firewood meeting raging flames, and even if they started taking off their clothes right there, there would not have been the slightest sense of incongruity.

But Muen felt cold, an indescribable cold.

His powerful physique was completely useless before this chill, simply because that gigantic golden pupil, like the flame of an ancient brass lamp, seemed almost capable of piercing straight through his soul.

Muen instinctively wanted to stop this intimate behavior, but perhaps because she really had exhausted herself too much earlier, after this kiss, Ariel actually went limp directly in his arms.

He hurriedly caught Ariel in a fluster and carefully checked her condition, discovering that she had merely fainted and was in no serious danger.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

But halfway through that sigh, the breath became stuck again.

The stinging pain and chill caused by being watched by that golden pupil seemed to intensify again because of his actions.

"Miss Dragon, listen to me......"

"No need to explain.""

Hamreign’s voice rumbled like a great bell: "I already understand. The relationship between you and this human female......is what you call lovers, right."

"This......yes."^

Muen sighed softly and directly admitted it.

There was nothing wrong with admitting it. Avoiding it now would instead make him look like he really was a scumbag..

But he still could not help becoming nervous, because he could not predict what kind of reaction Miss Dragon would have next.

Although all along she had only regarded him as a so-called "companion," and he had done the same, the chill he had felt in that instant just now had been completely real. Miss Dragon did indeed seem to have become angry because he and Ariel had kissed in public./

Getting angry because of something like this, so she was jeal......

"No wonder this human female was making such a fuss. So that was why." Contrary to Muen’s expectations, Hamreign actually moved her gaze away very quickly, did not dwell on the matter for long, and did not show any of the terrifying reactions Muen had imagined._

"Miss Dragon, you only realized that now?"

"I simply didn’t care."^

Hamreign laughed contemptuously: "Lovers? What a fragile relationship. Probably only creatures like humans would be so obsessed with something like this."

"So......Miss Dragon, you’re not angry?" Muen asked in surprise. The chill had disappeared, and everything just now seemed as though it had merely been his imagination. She did not look angry at all."

"Why would I be angry? Over this short-lived and weak human? I am a mighty calamity. I have not fallen so low that I would demean myself over something like this."

"Is......is that so?"/

"I told you before. We are companions who have established an eternal contract. Companions should support one another and move forward together, but beyond that, I will not interfere too much with you."

The relationship between them required no actions to prove it.

After saying that, Hamreign did not remain there any longer. Her wings spread wide, and her enormous dragon body suddenly rose higher. A terrifying gale swept over, forcing Muen to lower his head and resist it.

"Eh?"

Only then did Muen react to Miss Dragon’s current state: "Strange......Miss Dragon, why did you suddenly transform into your dragon body?"

Ever since entering this city, Miss Dragon had been extremely careful, doing her best to disguise her power and aura. Even those golden pupils radiating terrifying draconic might had been concealed very well, all so that she would not cause fear among the citizens.

But now, she had voluntarily transformed into her dragon body and, in front of everyone, flown high into the sky.

All the concealment from before became completely meaningless at this moment.

"To......clean up your mess." Although she was not angry, her tone had somehow become considerably colder.

"?"

Muen froze, then suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed in realization:

"Right......that Evil God believer!"

......

......

"What exactly......is going on?"

Above the inverted city, Yasa reached out and felt around his abdomen, but apart from a patch of thick, flowing blood, he could not feel anything at all.

There, there was nothing.

His abdomen had been completely pierced through. It was even possible to see the scenery on the other side through it.

For an ordinary person, this would have been an injury enough to die ten times over, yet he was still perfectly alive.

It was just that his mind was still in a half-bewildered state. He only remembered a blond man stepping toward him through a strange phantom of a city, punching him with lightning speed, then leaving again with lightning speed.

After standing there blankly for a moment, he followed the blond man’s retreating figure with his gaze, only then realizing what that man was doing——at such an important moment in the battle, that man had actually suddenly abandoned him and was kissing another woman.

What did that mean?

Could it be that the invasion they had planned for so long under the guidance of their great Lord, creating such a grave situation, was not even as important to that man as a single kiss with a woman?

Or was it that from the very beginning, their side had simply been something incidental?

And yet this man, with only a show-like "hero saving the beauty," could obtain a beautiful woman’s heart and kiss her in front of everyone......

He could not accept it......

He was unwilling......

He hated it......

"Could it be......that even I am just one part of your flirting?"

He would not allow it!

"Die! Bastard, every lovey-dovey piece of shit showing off their romance deserves to die!"

Yasa no longer hesitated in the slightest and raised the goddess statue in his hand high.

In an instant, his entire body became shriveled, while that statue continuously swelled, releasing a teeth-grating chewing sound, as though his flesh, blood, and soul were all being continuously devoured by it.

An eerie red light rose in the depths of his eyes. Despite clearly being in the miserable state of someone being devoured, Yasa became incomparably excited at this moment. An unnatural flush appeared on his cheeks, as though at this very moment......he had finally become one with the goddess he loved so dearly.

Where was his beloved?

Right, right......he had forgotten. In fact, long ago, the beloved he had yearned for day and night had already been inside his heart.

A female face with torn clothing, twisted and rotting, cried painfully from his chest, yet he remained completely unaware.

He only felt that love filling his heart.

"Come, my Lord, descend with Your incomparable mighty power and kill every last one of these ridiculous clowns who do not understand what love is!" Yasa shouted. Amid that sick excitement, there was still a trace of regret.

In truth, their purpose had never been to destroy anything. They merely wanted to gather sacrifices for that great deity, while also spreading Their grace along the way.

But since these people understood romance so little, then all of this......could only be completely destroyed!

And so, the statue overflowing with the scent of blood continued rising higher, merging into the inverted city in the sky.

As though some already fragile balance had been shattered in an instant.

Originally, only the people inside the city had been falling, but at this very moment, the inverted city itself suddenly began plummeting downward!

Boom!

Faced with the suddenly falling city, the black-clothed men who had originally been inside the inverted city fighting against this city’s resistance forces all changed expression, instinctively wanting to flee.

But one second later, as eerie light flickered in the depths of their eyes, blissful smiles suddenly appeared on their faces, and they froze in place.

"I can feel our Lord’s love......so warm."

Bang!

Flesh and blood exploded. One Evil God believer after another simply exploded where they stood, flowers of blood swaying amid the black flames, just like red fireworks blooming once again.

Enchanting and beautiful.
