Miss Luo Yan’s Feet Are Buried With Corpses v4c29

The God of Malice is Watching the Land: Chapter 29 The End of Terror

The empty white temple, only Luo Yan remained.

She stood before the throne in the center for a long time, looking at the shattered chains around her, silent.

After an unknown amount of time, another figure appeared beside her, a figure identical to her own.

“Is everything resolved?”

“…Almost.”

Luo Yan turned to look at the figure beside her, meeting a pair of dark eyes.

The black Manjusaka flower pattern on her chest felt slightly warm, because it had met its true owner, the Witch of Absolute Death.

From the very beginning, the demonic offering “Death” Luo Yan possessed was the true offering of the Witch of Absolute Death, not a replica she created like the other demonic offerings.

With the true “Death,” Luo Yan could use the Witch of Absolute Death’s power without any cost.

Because all the costs were paid by another existence.

—Absolute Death.

The final product of the Artificial Witch Project, the Witch of Absolute Death born from the mortal shell of the previous Absolute Death, the first living being in the true sense to control demonic power.

God’s Chosen were just humans tainted by a bit of divine power, only Absolute Death before her truly possessed the divine authority that should only be wielded by the World Will.

In a sense, the Artificial Witch Project was extremely successful.

The Witch of Absolute Death, born from the Saint’s hands, was no longer bound by the World Will, yet possessed the same power.

But in terms of resisting “malice,” it was a complete failure.

Luo Yan could see that Absolute Death was actually more severely contaminated by “malice” than any other God.

The current Absolute Death was practically the incarnation of “malice.”

But she wasn’t controlled by “malice.” Her body wasn’t mutated, and her consciousness and soul hadn’t fallen into madness.

Just… like Luo Yan.

Or rather, they were originally one.

The “Clumsy Flame Project,” carried out using the nine Misters, was tainted with sin, but fundamentally, it wasn’t much different from the “Artificial Witch Project” that sought hope, just their ultimate goals were different.

Their consciousness was also different.

Luo Yan was “malice,” while Absolute Death was “World Will.”

“Long time no see.”

Luo Yan smiled. Although the Absolute Death she saw had the same face as her, she didn’t feel like she was looking in a mirror.

Because what she saw was Absolute Death’s consciousness.

“Long… long time…” Absolute Death raised her hand slightly and gently touched Luo Yan’s cheek, “…no see.”

They had never met like this before, yet they had unconsciously depended on each other during the lost hundreds of years.

They shouldn’t have met.

But they still did in the end.

Why… after the War of the Witch of Absolute Death, did the self-confined Absolute Death wish to never meet Luo Yan again?

Because she knew that when she met Luo Yan, it would also be the moment of their complete separation.

When this moment arrived, their reunion was inevitable.

Absolute Death took a step forward, her forehead gently touching Luo Yan’s, but at such close proximity, she slowly closed her eyes.

“How much time do we have left?”

Luo Yan didn’t answer, but also closed her eyes.

“…Let’s finish the last thing first, then talk.”

“Absolute—Death—”

The white temple trembled violently, and rubble fell from the dome. This building, which had stood for thousands of years, was on the verge of collapse.

When Luo Yan destroyed the temple’s restrictions, although the white temple was still the strongest building in human civilization, it was no longer indestructible to the Gods.

The Demoness of Terror was attacking the white temple with all her might. In Her eyes, besides hysterical madness, there was also boundless despair.

She naturally sensed the successive falls of the Witch of End and the Witch of Sorrow, but the Demoness of Terror couldn’t understand why they, as fellow Gods, would choose to give up.

Until now, She had become the last God, and the fate of this isolated island falling to “malice” was inevitable.

Coupled with the erosion of “malice” contamination, the Demoness of Terror finally fell into madness. She was, in the true sense, the first God to become mad.

It could be said that only the current Demoness of Terror truly fit the name “Primordial Demon.”

The Witch of Envy, who was closest to madness before, still retained a last shred of sanity and chose to end herself to create a chance to restart civilization.

The Demoness of Terror’s only obsession now was to kill the traitor, Absolute Death. If Absolute Death was truly killed by Her, She would only be left with the instincts driven by “malice.”

Then, in the vast starry sky, a new Calamity planet monster would appear.

This kind of ending…

Luo Yan opened her eyes and, together with Absolute Death, looked up through the shattered dome of the white temple, seeing an ugly, twisted, ghastly shadow, its eyes filled with sorrow.

“You don’t want to see this either, do you…”

Luo Yan whispered.

“So,” Absolute Death took out an old guide cane, looked at Luo Yan, and smiled, “Now… it’s my turn.”

Her birth stemmed from the Saint’s hope of saving the world, but she didn’t want to bear this heavy responsibility forcibly imposed by the Saint. Until now, Absolute Death finally took the initiative to wield this power. She was the new World Will.

She… would save this world heading towards its end.

All remaining Calamity Tides in the world surged towards the Sanctuary. The completely crazed Demoness of Terror no longer avoided the power of “malice,” even the contamination that had accumulated in the Sanctuary for a thousand years was absorbed by Her.

The ghastly shadow almost solidified, the monstrous, terrifying being nearly occupying the entire Sanctuary, still expanding, spreading outwards.

The current It was no longer just the Demoness of Terror, but the incarnation of all contamination in this world, the ultimate Calamity monster, fundamentally no different from the truth of the vast starry sky.

What was worse, because It extracted all the contamination from the Sanctuary, the Sanctuary’s seal, whose barrier structure relied on contamination to maintain itself, began to collapse.

Normally, if the contamination disappeared, the Sanctuary’s seal would indeed no longer be necessary; this design wasn’t a problem.

But now… the contamination hadn’t disappeared, but was concentrated, transforming into an unprecedented Calamity monster. The collapse of the Sanctuary’s seal allowed the nearby Noah to witness this scene directly.

During this time, because of the weakening of the Calamity Tide, the gloomy dark clouds in the sky had dissipated quite a bit, and faint sunlight fell upon every mega-city on the land, bringing a sense of peace to humanity amidst the apocalypse.

But all this vanished with the shattering of the Sanctuary’s seal.

In the blink of an eye, a world-blotting shadow enveloped the entire Noah. The people rebuilding Noah looked up towards the source of the shadow and were instantly terrified. Fear and panic spread rapidly, and Noah fell into chaos.

They had never seen such an ugly and massive monster. Its writhing body seemed to be absorbing the power of the earth, and within its countless bulging eyes, souls seemed to be trapped, crying and begging for help, an unbearable stench filling the air.

Even the Noah Church was in disarray at this time. His Holiness lamented endlessly, how could such a terrifying thing happen during his tenure, his luck was truly terrible.

The only one in all of Noah who could remain calm upon seeing this scene was probably Shadow.

She looked up, gazing at this giant monster that seemed to be wailing, took a deep breath, and sent an order to His Holiness,

“Activate Project ‘Ark,’ then… abandon Noah, retreat immediately.”

Project Ark was a survival plan almost forgotten, a large area within Noah’s core district designated and a barrier called “Ark” constructed.

No one knew its internal structure, because no one had ever entered it.

The Noah Church had tried many times to cancel this inexplicable plan, because the area occupied by “Ark” was practically the most valuable area in Noah, almost one-third of the core district.

But because the Twelve Saints repeatedly rejected it, it ended in failure.

Now… Noah had reached the point where it needed “Ark.”

“Yes, yes, we still have Project Ark,” His Holiness slapped his forehead and hurriedly issued the order, “Abandon the outer districts, enter ‘Ark’ in batches, then activate the barrier! Quickly! Hurry!”

This order was passed down layer by layer. Shadow opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But she ultimately sighed and didn’t interfere with His Holiness’s decision.

No matter what… some people had to be abandoned.

When the Ark was initially built, they never expected Noah to grow to this scale. Later, the Church even wanted to cancel it, let alone expand it.

However, Shadow wasn’t worried that “Ark” couldn’t be activated. After all, this plan was personally completed by the Saint back then, including the barrier she constructed.

“Saint, you…”

His Holiness’s nervous voice came from the communicator, but Shadow glanced at it and directly hung up.

Two people were standing beside her now, Vichy, the current head of the Lequista family, and her younger sister, Tina.

The Lequista family had served as guards for Saint “Shadow” for generations. Now, at this time, they naturally came to Shadow’s side immediately, awaiting her instructions.

“The Lequista family guards are ready and can attack the broken Sanctuary at any time.”

Vichy said in a deep voice, her gentle voice now carrying a terrifying killing intent.

Before becoming the family head, she had also been a soldier, clearing threats from the Endless Wasteland for Noah and human civilization.

Although facing this twisted giant beast, almost one-third the size of a mega-city, the fear and panic in her heart were unavoidable, she still possessed the courage to charge towards it.

This was what the Lequista family was born for.

“No, there’s no need to attack.” Shadow shook her head, and Vichy clearly saw a hint of bitterness on her face. “We are no match for it… that’s a God, and a God completely corrupted by ‘malice’.”

Shadow had already recognized it. Although she didn’t know which God this giant beast was, this being, which made her tremble from the bottom of her heart just by looking at it, could only be a God-level existence.

“Then we…”

A puzzled expression appeared on Tina’s face. If that was the case, what was the point of Shadow summoning the troops?

“Escape, take everyone and escape.” Shadow said decisively, “If I’m not mistaken, there won’t be any danger in the Endless Wasteland now, but the speed of ordinary people escaping simply can’t keep up with ‘Ark’.”

His Holiness should have already activated “Ark,” but “Ark” itself was limited and couldn’t accommodate the current Noah.

The population of the outer districts accounted for almost half of Noah, mostly ordinary people. At this distance, directly facing a “malicious God,” even a slight aftershock could be a catastrophic disaster for tens of thousands of people.

Hearing this somewhat strange order, Vichy didn’t question it.

She just lowered her gaze slightly and said softly,

“…Alright.”

“Do you know why I’m doing this?” Shadow suddenly asked.

Vichy was slightly stunned and shook her head.

“I heard a little maid say something,” Shadow looked out the window, staring directly at the world-blotting Calamity monster in the Sanctuary without any fear, “She said, ‘Noah is the Noah of the Noah Church, not the Noah of the Noah people’.”

Shadow paused and added,

“She was from the outer districts.”

This was a common problem for all mega-cities. Limited resources couldn’t support the entire massive population, and all resources ultimately flowed to the upper class, a minority holding most of the resources.

Those in the outer districts could only be used as expendable resources, abandoned by default when disaster struck.

But Shadow felt that it shouldn’t be like this, at least not in her eyes.

Because she had also heard another girl say, “All lives are lives, every life is precious.”

As for who said it, Shadow had forgotten, but she felt it made sense.

So she did this.

“The order has been issued, but…” Tina, who was in charge of relaying the order, showed a strange expression. “It seems the people from the other two families are also… saving people, just like us.”

The three great families of Noah were all families that followed the Saint and established Noah, and then experienced the reconstruction of New Noah.

“What about the Noah Church?”

Vichy turned her head and asked.

“Escaping.”

……

The year 1328 of the New Era, the 1007th year since the destruction of Old Noah, New Noah faced the crisis of destruction once again.

But this time, Noah was prepared, escaping at all costs. Within two hours, evacuation preparations were complete, and another great migration of Noah began, on an unprecedented scale.

Shadow stood in the gradually emptying Noah, gazing at the Calamity beast in the distance.

The Lequista family also retreated under Shadow’s orders. Neither Vichy nor Tina stayed behind, only Shadow remained.

“Yes, humanity has no chance against a malicious God.” Shadow whispered, jumping down from the tall building, the Shadow Spear forming in her hand. “But that doesn’t mean… we’re unwilling to put up a final fight.”

The nine Saints had probably perished, and now she was the last Saint.

The name of Saint couldn’t be tarnished by escape.

Shadow’s eyes seemed to be burning with flames. Transforming into a shadow, she charged alone towards the mountain-like Calamity monster, like a knight charging at a windmill.

“Why bother, Shadow?”

Just then, a familiar childish voice sounded beside her ear, accompanied by a heavy sigh.
