Miss Luo Yan’s Feet Are Buried With Corpses v4c25

The God of Malice is Watching the Land: Chapter 25 “Happiness”

From the moment the Witch of Envy completely perished, the stopped pendulum of Calamity began to swing again.

Silently, fate turned, and the final “Witch’s Night” meant that the world had entered its final countdown.

The one behind all this was the silver-haired girl standing before the Witch of Sorrow.

What did she want to do?

Did she think she could stop fate?

The Witch of Sorrow didn’t think she could, it had always thought so.

This world was destined to be destroyed, It had already prepared for everything, so when human civilization’s erroneous continuation brought this world into the countdown to destruction earlier, the Witch of Sorrow didn’t act.

It felt regret, but didn’t deny humanity’s will to survive, which was reflected in Its willingness to help Marytis save the world.

And the only object of Its hatred was the God “malice.”

“You have obtained all the powers of the Gods one by one,” the Witch of Sorrow whispered, “But do you really think that just the power of the Gods can save this world?”

The Gods were powerless against the God “malice,” forget about defeating It, they weren’t even qualified to stand on the same battlefield.

They could only humbly avoid It, barely surviving.

“The Gods… of course not, but I can, because I am ‘malice’.” Luo Yan said seriously, her resolve firm. “This is a transaction… Witch of Sorrow, you can choose to agree, or be forced to agree.”

Luo Yan wasn’t as polite to the Witch of Sorrow as she was when talking to the Witch of End.

Although the Witch of Sorrow had always been by Marytis’s side, It had never shown any kindness towards Luo Yan, even intending to personally act several times.

However, It ultimately couldn’t succeed.

Now that Luo Yan had obtained the complete powers of “Envy” and “End,” plus eighty percent of the power of the Calamity Tide, if the Gods wanted to defeat her, they would have to gamble the entire world.

Only by overdrawing the entire world, even risking the collapse of this planet, could the existence named “Luo Yan” be erased.

However, after erasing “Luo Yan,” forget about the God “malice,” even this planet, which had paid such a heavy price, would be in a precarious state.

Whether living beings or Gods, none could accept such an outcome.

This was a threat…

But the Witch of Sorrow couldn’t face this threat.

It was a God, and even corrupted by “malice,” It still loved Its children, and everything It did was to ensure their continued existence.

This threat was very effective.

The Witch of Sorrow wasn’t like the Witch of End. The Witch of End had completely given up struggling, only wanting to be released from this millennia-long cycle of despair.

Even if Luo Yan didn’t offer a transaction, It would eventually seek a way to end itself, to avoid witnessing the final destruction.

After a long silence, the Witch of Sorrow whispered,

“Why call it a transaction? You took my power, what will you give me in return?”

“What I’m giving you… is a continuing hope, a future with a glimmer of dawn.” Luo Yan said softly, “A world… without ‘malice’.”

This was the ending the Gods dreamed of, but for them, it was also an unattainable ending.

A faint light seemed to flicker in the Witch of Sorrow’s eyes, but It ultimately lowered its gaze, no longer looking at Luo Yan,

“I shouldn’t trust you, but… I can only trust you.”

The Gods had made countless attempts, the most extreme of which should be Absolute Death and the Saint’s Artificial Witch Project, but even so, it still failed.

Until now, the only one they could place their hopes on was Miss Luo Yan.

“Marytis is a good child. Although I used her, I also love her.” The Witch of Sorrow said, “She has done nothing wrong to you, I hope you can…”

“Even if you don’t say it, I won’t take away her consciousness.”

Luo Yan interrupted the Witch of Sorrow, her gaze shifting slightly downwards, piercing through Marytis’s nun’s habit and seeing the Absolute Death mark on her chest, sighing softly.

Back then, to prevent the Witch of Absolute Death from destroying this world for the sake of the white flower, Marytis risked her own life to obtain the Witch of Absolute Death’s promise.

Even though she now knew that it was a complete lie, Marytis still had a clear conscience, towards this world… and towards Luo Yan.

“She will live.”

Luo Yan said softly.

“I’m relieved.” The Witch of Sorrow nodded and walked slowly towards the bright moon on the horizon, its tall, desolate shadow elongated on the ground under the moonlight. “And my mission… ends here.”

“Aren’t you staying to watch?”

Luo Yan looked at Its retreating figure and asked.

“Envy, End, their choices were good. The new world doesn’t need the existence of the old Gods, we should be buried here.” The Witch of Sorrow raised its hand, as if trying to grasp the starlight falling upon the earth. “To be able to end at the dawn before the rising sun… such an outcome, I couldn’t ask for more.”

The Witch of Sorrow made the same choice as the other two Gods. It didn’t choose to abandon its divine power and remain in the present world as a consciousness.

But chose release.

“I hate you, ‘malice’,” the Witch of Sorrow turned around, looked at Luo Yan, tears welling up in Its eyes, “But… I also love you, Luo Yan.

“You are also a living being of this land, a child of the Gods.”

“A mother… only has love for her child.”

The Sands of Time reversed, and the vast river of time extended, towards the endless future, and the distant past.

Luo Yan finally stood at the same level as the Witch of Sorrow, witnessing time together with It.

Standing on the other shore of the river of time, countless possibilities flickered past.

The Witch of Sorrow was like a ferryman, It witnessed the flow of time, but was powerless to influence its direction.

Because all tributaries, when converging together, only left a dry riverbed… only the destruction of the world.

No matter how brilliant the civilization, how dazzling the heroes, their final destination was only one: being submerged in the contamination of “malice,” becoming a part of the Calamity Tide.

It was precisely because of this that the Witch of Sorrow was called “Sorrow.” It only saw a future of despair, powerless to focus on the glorious past.

“What is your true name?”

Luo Yan asked.

“It is…”

The Witch of Sorrow paused and smiled faintly.

This was the first time It showed a sincere smile, not a sorrowful one.

—”Happiness.”

The God named “Happiness” had never been happy, but Its sorrow would end here.

The faintly visible river of time around them gradually dimmed, and Marytis’s body fell straight down.

Luo Yan took a few steps forward and caught Marytis, looking at her sleeping face, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The awake Marytis always had the demeanor of an older sister, but when asleep, she was like a young girl, instinctively curling up.

“It seems Miss Marytis still has a girlish heart.”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Luo Yan’s lips. She held Marytis’s hand and gently placed it on Marytis’s chest,

“Your responsibility ends here, next… leave it to me.”

In a place no one could see, the Absolute Death mark gradually disappeared, finally dissipating like a wisp of smoke, completely vanishing without a trace.

“Have a good sleep. When you wake up, you will return to where you should be.”

At the same time, the Witch of Absolute Death in the Noah Sanctuary felt the Absolute Death mark being erased. This method of erasure could only be done by one person.

The Witch of Absolute Death looked towards the direction where the Absolute Death mark disappeared, and murmured softly,

“It seems… we… have reached the final moment.”

……

Noah.

The crisis Lannister faced had reached the Noah Church, and both Noah and Dragon City were shocked.

They weren’t shocked because of the scale of this Calamity Tide, because they had anticipated it, it was just that the location and timing of the attack were slightly different from what they expected.

The most unbelievable thing was, of course, the Calamity Tide being silently resolved.

Afterwards, Lannister sent a suicide squad to the location where the Calamity Tide inexplicably disappeared, but they found nothing.

Not even the corpses of Calamity monsters, even the contamination marks on the ground were gradually disappearing.

Not only that, the scale of the Calamity Tide throughout the world had greatly decreased, already reaching a level that human civilization could handle and eliminate.

This world-ending crisis inexplicably improved, and no one could find the answer.

Of course, since the situation had become like this, the human higher-ups didn’t miss this golden opportunity and immediately launched a counteroffensive against the Calamity Tide.

At the same time, another piece of news came from within Noah City: Marytis, one of the former Bishops of the Church of the End Gods, had been discovered.

Upon receiving this news, Shadow didn’t dare to delay and immediately led two Holy Knight squads to Litus Church, where Marytis was rumored to have been seen.

“Damn it, how could she be in Noah… Several large-scale searches and we didn’t even find her, are these city guards only good for eating?!”

Shadow cursed inwardly while hurrying towards Litus Church.

Although Marytis hadn’t shown any malicious actions towards humanity so far, nor did she have a bloody record like the other Bishops, she was still one of the core members of the Church of the End Gods.

And the only one still alive.

No matter what, they couldn’t let her escape.

However… Shadow still had a question.

Having lurked for two years, why did she suddenly, accidentally expose herself?

Could it be related to the recent changes in the Calamity Tide?

With this question in mind, Shadow quickened her pace.

To avoid panic, Shadow didn’t make a big fuss, so currently, only a few people in the entire Noah Church knew about this.

“Litus Church is just ahead, Saint Shadow.”

A Holy Knight-Captain spoke up, interrupting Shadow’s thoughts.
