Chapter 34: Tainting the Seat of Justice
Yuehua Fengyun looked at Ann approaching, her desperate heart filled with a glimmer of hope. If she breaks the chains, we can work together. Even a First Order can’t catch two people at once. She turned to Luo Yuxi.
“Yuxi… if you turn back now, it’s not too late. If you let me go, I won’t report everything…”
“Really? You won’t report everything~?”
“Yes, although you’ve violated the Church’s rules, I’ll still plead for you…”
“Oh~”
Luo Yuxi, seeing the hope in Yuehua Fengyun’s eyes, smiled playfully, feigning concern.
“So if I let you go, the punishment will be lighter, right…?”
“Yes, now undo the chains. And Lika has no fighting ability…”
Yuehua Fengyun looked at Lika, who had been turned into a “cream puff.” Thanks to her, Yuehua Fengyun had a chance to escape.
“Yes, Lika has fainted. Perhaps letting you go is the right choice~”
“Since you know, then…”
“But! I refuse!”
“Hmm?”
Yuehua Fengyun didn’t understand. How could Luo Yuxi be so confident? It was as if she had known she would win from the beginning.
“I can’t wait to see the look of despair on your face~”
As Luo Yuxi spoke, Ann appeared between them. Yuehua Fengyun was overjoyed.
“Thank goodness, you’re finally here! Quickly, break my chains, quick!”
“Master~ Ann wants to do what you did just now~”
“Wh-What did you just say?”
Yuehua Fengyun’s joy turned to disbelief as she saw Ann, who had been so righteous, now kneeling like a pet dog, her expression one of utter depravity. Luo Yuxi looked at Yuehua Fengyun’s despair and felt a surge of pleasure.
“Strange, so strange. Why does her expression excite me so much? Am I awakening my dark side~?”
“L-Liar…!”
Yuehua Fengyun watched as Ann was easily pushed to the ground, her two long twintails pulled, her face a mask of pleasure.
“Being pulled by Master feels so good~”
Ann’s body radiated a dark, inky magic power, so pure it made Yuehua Fengyun feel uneasy.
“M-Magic power… what… what have you done?!”
“Sigh, I didn’t want to. She just fell so easily. I was quite shocked myself~”
Luo Yuxi’s hands moved faster. After she was done, she tossed Ann aside and looked at Yuehua Fengyun, who was on the verge of a breakdown. She lifted her chin.
“Bishop, you’ve become even more charming~”
Luo Yuxi lifted Yuehua Fengyun’s soft body and pressed her against the scorched earth. Yuehua Fengyun, no longer resisting, simply met her gaze.
“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter anymore. The world has no meaning…”
As Luo Yuxi played her own tune on the piano of Yuehua Fengyun’s body, a pair of eyes, which had been watching from afar, closed a book.
“Luo Yuxi is guilty, guilty of a great sin. She must be judged, judged by me…”
Meanwhile, in her office, the All-Knowing Witch was being bombarded by attacks, retreating frantically. Even a demigod couldn’t withstand such a relentless assault. The Word Spirit Saintess, Ailani, looked at her.
“Even at this point, you can’t be destroyed…?”
“Hey, hey, hey, Saintess of the Church, you attacked me without provocation. We have no quarrel, do we…?”
“You’re a witch, that’s enough…”
“What a frustrating reason…”
The All-Knowing Witch looked at the numbers above her head, the dice of fate rolling again, landing on a tie. The debuffs and buffs vanished, leaving only the chains binding her. She felt a sense of relief, the mental restrictions disappearing.
“This time, the great Goddess did not bestow her luck upon you~”
“So what? Luck was never a factor…”
“So frustrating! After I gained this power, all I wanted was to destroy the world and then die! Why are you stopping me?!”
“Why? The reason to stop you has just grown. If I let you go, who knows what will happen…”
“It seems there’s no taking back what’s been said…”
The All-Knowing Witch vanished. Ailani, exhausted from the long battle, felt a sense of unease.
The battle on the ground was nearing its end. Even with their superior strength and numbers, the angels were no match for the Church’s top fighters and armies. In the ruins, six wings unfurled, and Gabriel stood up, brushing the debris from her body, her waist aching.
“Luo Yuxi! I’ll never forgive you…”
The humiliating memory of being used as a toy, of being pressed against Luo Yuxi’s body, made her mind race. She flew into the sky, looking at the retreating harpies and angels, but she didn’t care.
“Luo Yuxi…”
Her mind was filled with the image of the pink-haired girl who had terrified and humiliated her, the girl who had stolen her most precious virtue.
