Volume 3: Angel Sanctuary Arc
Chapter 25: A Field of Cream Puffs
Luo Yuxi felt her vision blur, her body filled with an inexhaustible energy, a voice calling her name in her ear.
“Luo Yuxi! Wake up! Wake up!”
“A familiar voice, but I can’t remember who it belongs to. Why can’t I control my body? It’s as if it’s moving on its own…”
Luo Yuxi’s consciousness was hazy. She felt her fingers moving, exploring a soft, warm place. She didn’t know why, but it felt good, her rampaging power calming down.
“I want to stay like this forever…”
As her power subsided, her consciousness returned, the pain from the overwhelming knowledge fading.
“What happened to me? My head hurts a little. Uh, did I just wash my hands in my sleep?”
Luo Yuxi looked at her dripping fingers, still dazed. Then she saw the scene around her and gasped. A round, cream-puff-like figure was stuck to the wall, its legs dangling limply.
“Why is there a cream puff on the wall?”
Luo Yuxi poked the girl stuck to the wall, and a sweet, milky magic power dripped onto the floor.
“D-Did I do this…?”
Luo Yuxi looked at the “unwrapped” cream puff cake and looked away guiltily. She had no memory of this, yet the scene before her was undeniable. Am I really that strong?
“It probably wasn’t me, right? Right…?”
Luo Yuxi glanced down and saw six tally marks drawn in white cream on the girl’s thigh. She looked away again. She had thought this was her only misdeed, but then she turned and saw the entire church filled with Nameless Witches in various outfits, all unconscious, their eyes rolled back, covered in cream.
“Ah… this…”
The scene was like a decadent feast. Although they all looked the same, they were all “filled to the brim.”
“So that’s why I felt so good while I was unconscious. And why don’t I feel tired at all…?”
Luo Yuxi carefully stepped around the unconscious girls. She didn’t know how long she had been in that state. She noticed one of the girls looked different.
[Ding]
[Gabriel]
Affiliation: Divine Realm
Order Level: First Order (World Suppression)
[Current Status: Unconscious. The Archangel has lost her chastity, her pure body has been taken.]
Luo Yuxi looked at the panel in disbelief, then at the golden-haired girl on the floor. When she had first met her, she had been so powerful, so pure, so intimidating. She had thought Gabriel could kill her with a single glance. But now, she was lying there, unconscious, even her halo covered in cream.
“The Archangel has lost her chastity? Could it be…”
[The one who took her chastity: Luo Yuxi]
[Luo Yuxi has obtained her authority of virtue.]
The notifications confirmed her fears. She had even “tasted” the archangel’s “temperature.”
[Ding]
[Nameless Witch 430]
[Nameless Witch 434]
[Nameless Witch 447]
[Nameless Witch 488]
…
[Nameless Witch 1243]
As Luo Yuxi looked around, information panels popped up, each one indicating a “broken” state. Had she “broken” more Nameless Witches than the number that had gone mad in the prison?
“Could that have been the last one…?”
Luo Yuxi looked at the pink divine halo behind her in a reflection. The Nameless Witch had wanted her to become a god so she could escape before going completely mad, but now…
“Hey… are you conscious…?”
As Luo Yuxi was mourning her actions, a familiar face peeked out from behind a piano. The Nameless Witch, in a dress, looked at her warily.
“So you’re still awake. I thought you had all gone mad.”
“If I hadn’t hidden, even with so many of me, you would have broken us all…”
The Nameless Witch, seeing the now-lucid Luo Yuxi, slowly emerged from behind the piano, kicking aside one of her “broken” selves.
“Every time a new ‘me’ appeared, you would immediately grab it. That’s why I hid.”
The Nameless Witch crouched down, examining her broken selves, their eyes vacant, their bodies trembling. She poked one of their stomachs.
She picked up one of the “cream puffs” and tried to reabsorb it. After all, losing so many of her “selves” would eventually lead to her own madness.
“I… I don’t remember anything… when I came to, it was already like this…”
“After I hid, you kept wandering around the church, even picking up a broken ‘me’ like a toy…”
“So that’s what happened…”
“But you seem to have a particular fondness for the ‘me’ who was stuck in the seal’s edge. You even made a mark every time you… visited…”
The Nameless Witch pointed at the one on the wall. Luo Yuxi knew what she was talking about. She felt like a monster who only knew how to “fornicate.”
“Even an ordinary person can’t withstand the price of becoming a god…”
“Withstand? Didn’t I already—”
“You could be considered a god just now, but the price was losing your consciousness, succumbing to the desires of power…”
The Nameless Witch, after reabsorbing a few of her “selves,” approached Luo Yuxi and looked at the pink halo behind her, her hand reaching out to touch the position she had strived for her entire life.
But her hand passed right through the halo. She had strived for so long, and now she had nothing. But Luo Yuxi had achieved it in the shortest amount of time.
“This girl, she makes me so jealous I can’t even speak…”
“Jealous? Why?”
“Tsk…”
The Nameless Witch walked to the church door, looking at the “self” stuck in the seal’s edge, her defenses gone, only her pale bottom exposed.
“Open the seal…”
“Huh? How do I do that?”
“How else? Punch it open. That seal was only meant to stop weaklings. You’re a demigod now…”
Luo Yuxi, skeptical, clenched her fist, a powerful force gathering within it. A sonic boom echoed through the air as she punched the seal, but nothing happened. She looked at the Nameless Witch, who was surprisingly calm.
Seeing Luo Yuxi’s confusion, the Nameless Witch said,
“Don’t worry, just give it a moment…”
As she spoke, cracks appeared on the prison, and with a crisp sound, it shattered. Luo Yuxi looked at the broken prison in disbelief, unable to believe her own power.
“No way, am I finally going to start my ‘Homelander’ arc…?!”
“Let’s go…”
The Nameless Witch was surprisingly calm. As Luo Yuxi was about to leave, she pointed at Gabriel.
“What about the archangel?”
“Just leave her there. If you like her, you can take her back and use her?”
“Use her?”
“I… I mean, as a servant. Without her chastity, she can’t use her full power. She’s no threat…”
Luo Yuxi left. After she was gone, Gabriel, who should have been unconscious, slowly opened her eyes.
“My body has been defiled, my spirit is no longer pure. I will repay this humiliation a hundredfold!”
She gritted her teeth, but tears still streamed down her face, her body aching, unable to stand up.
