The Goddess, Please Devour the Evil Deity!

Bai Lianyue was very clear: Xingwu was no longer around.

Even though Aeria and the others' auras were similar to Xingwu's, they could never be that child.
They were not her daughters.
They were merely tools to help her stay awake.

She didn’t need to care so much about their feelings...
Bai Lianyue had always thought this way.
However, after truly interacting with these children, Bai Lianyue found it hard to be ruthless. Her feelings toward these children had become somewhat complicated.

Was it because she saw a shadow of Xingwu in them?
Or was it the influence of devouring "Liana"?
Bai Lianyue felt confused.

But right now, the "Lazy God Miss" didn’t have the time or energy to think about these questions. After settling Aeria and Vya down, the blue-haired girl turned all her attention to Vya.
Looking at the wound on Vya's chest, Bai Lianyue’s heart skipped a beat.
"The Origin Core has been extracted. Though still alive, her vitality is steadily decreasing..."

She had to act quickly.
Humans only had one Origin Core, and once it was lost, death would come swiftly.
However,

Miss Bai Lianyue did not intend to reimplant the extracted core into Vya.
The reason was simple.
She couldn’t...

Reimplanting the core was an extremely high-skill surgery.
Bai Lianyue knew her own limitations. She was just a rough person, good at fighting and killing, but these delicate tasks were far beyond her.
Of course, the Earth Evil God Miss wasn’t without ways to save the child.
It was just...

"Sigh, forget it, not the time to think about that. Saving the child is the priority."
With that thought, Bai Lianyue firmly stretched out her hand toward Vya’s chest.
The next moment,

The divine power she had received from Liana slowly spread out from Bai Lianyue's palm, flowing like a stream into Vya’s wound.
Bai Lianyue’s idea was simple:
To use the divine power to stimulate Vya’s core to rebuild itself.

However,
Due to the conflict between Bai Lianyue’s own power and the divine power, combined with her unfamiliarity with her new body, the divine power she released was not much.
Thus,

To compensate for the lack of divine power and Vya's rapidly depleting vitality, a small amount of icy blue curse power began to mix with the divine power.
"It should be fine, right?"
Focusing intently on Vya's chest, Bai Lianyue nervously muttered.

Fortunately, Bai Lianyue’s guess was correct.
The divine power was slowly but effectively seeping into Vya’s body without causing any rejection.
Moreover, under the stimulation of the life-attribute curse power, Vya’s life force began to recover, and the core that had been lost in her chest began to visibly reassemble.

Seeing this, Bai Lianyue couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
"Ha..."
...

However,
Speaking of which?
After confirming that Vya was temporarily out of danger, the Earth Evil God Miss suddenly furrowed her brows in confusion.

"Did I... forget something?"
While continuing to channel her power, Bai Lianyue looked around in a daze.
After dealing with the Thousand-Faced Bird, she seemed to have intended to do something else?

But now, it seemed like she couldn’t remember what it was.
Emmm, it seems like I really forgot something.
After some effort, Bai Lianyue still couldn’t recall what it was. In the end, she could only helplessly raise her hand to her forehead.

"Really... I shouldn’t use curse power carelessly... Every time I use it, my head doesn’t feel right..."
"If I really become a fool, the 'God of Chaos' will be troubled. How will I get my revenge..."
But,

The things she couldn’t remember probably weren’t that important.
So,
"Forget it~"

After raising her eyebrows playfully, Bai Lianyue gave up on remembering and refocused her attention on healing Vya.
...

Meanwhile,
Dozens of miles away, a certain third young master of the Anlosi family, forgotten by Bai Lianyue, was suddenly teleported to a nearby patch of land in a flash of blue light.

After the teleportation, Hein, covered in wounds and looking disheveled, used his remaining hand and leg to barely push himself off the ground.
Gasping, he cast an accusing glare ahead and roared in the angry tone of the Mousse family:
"Crowell!! You bastard!!! Why did you only send me back now?! I paid a high price for that teleportation gem just for this moment!! What have you been doing?! Didn’t you get my distress signal?!"

At that moment,
A tall, broad-shouldered man dressed in formal attire stood with authority in front of Hein.
Behind the man was a hovering fighter jet and dozens of fully armed men in black.

These were clearly the people Hein had mentioned earlier—Anlosi family’s reinforcements.
Facing the third young master's enraged roar, Crowell shook his head helplessly:
"Sorry, Lord Hein, we indeed didn’t receive your signal. Once the Thousand-Faced Bird appeared, the curse power disrupted the communications. We only confirmed your signal after the Thousand-Faced Bird's presence dissipated."

"You only realized the subordinate-tier beast appeared? Why didn’t you pull me back sooner?!"
"We wanted to, but due to the curse power interference, we couldn’t initiate remote teleportation. The reason we can bring you back now is because the curse power concentration around you has dropped."
Although Crowell appeared to be an ordinary person, as the butler, he wasn’t excessively respectful toward Hein.

Hein, though displeased, merely muttered a few curses.
After hearing Crowell’s explanation, Hein stopped speaking and sat down, panting heavily.
However, he hadn’t yet recovered from the suffocating pressure of death he had felt earlier.

Watching Hein like this, Crowell couldn’t help but ask in confusion:
"The Thousand-Faced Bird’s nature should never have let you escape. How did you survive?"
"..."

Upon hearing this, Hein felt a slight discomfort, but he had no strength to refute.
After all, this was the truth.
Had the Thousand-Faced Bird not been frightened by Liana’s aura and instinctively loosened its claws to retreat, he wouldn’t have had the chance to fall to the ground and survive.

If the Thousand-Faced Bird hadn’t loosened its claws, he would probably have been torn to pieces by those terrifying dead faces.
Thinking back to the heart-wrenching pain, Hein couldn’t help but feel his scalp go numb.
However, as his memory delved deeper, Hein’s expression suddenly changed.

He realized a more serious problem.
The one who blocked the attack for the Thousand-Faced Bird and then dealt with it... was definitely not his Liana!
Liana wouldn’t use such a crazily twisted attack.

Moreover,
Could someone instantly kill a subordinate-tier Fallen Beast?
Thinking about what Aeria had said earlier, Hein suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He never expected,
What that girl said was actually true?!
"Crowell! Take me back! I have something very important to tell Father!!"

Hein shouted urgently.
"What’s going on?"
Seeing Hein act so unusually, Crowell asked, puzzled.

"The Earth Evil God is not in the sleep state we expected. That monster has awakened, killed Liana, and even turned into her form! By the way, the one who just killed the Thousand-Faced Bird was also the Earth Evil God!"
As Hein spoke,
Crowell and his subordinates all showed expressions of shock.

"Are you serious, Lord Hein?"
"How could I joke about something like this?"
"I see, that makes sense now..."

After a brief moment of shock, Crowell showed a sudden realization.
"No wonder the Thousand-Faced Bird disappeared so suddenly..."
"So, hurry and take me back. I have to tell Father about this!"

"I know, but..."
Looking at Hein, Crowell’s eyes flashed with an odd look:
"Your father’s task for you, what about it?"

"I know!"
Hein frowned and said:
"Even though I didn’t bring back Liana, the Holy Stone, or Aeria, I didn’t come back empty-handed, okay?"

"As for Father’s task, if I really didn’t complete a single one..."
When I go back, I probably won’t even know how I died. Even if all of this happened because of the Earth Evil God’s interference.
"Don’t worry, I can handle it. At least, I got something..."

Saying this,
Hein slowly opened his left hand.
In his palm was a core glowing with orange-red light.

"This... is Vya’s core?"
Crowell quickly guessed the origin of the core.
"Some things can indeed be handed over... Hmm?"

However, before he could finish his sentence, Crowell suddenly frowned, quickly turning to look in the distance.
"Hmm? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave!"
Hein couldn’t help but urge.

But,
Crowell didn’t respond, instead still silently staring into the distance.
Hmm??

Hein felt a sudden wave of confusion. He followed Crowell’s gaze and focused on the nearby bushes.
However,
Under Hein’s somewhat dazed gaze,

A small pink meatball suddenly rolled out from the bushes with a rustling sound...
Hein: ???
