Chapter 724: Breaking the Defense

The moment the silver-white knight appeared, the countless angels in the sky all became extremely restless and extremely excited.

Countless large pupils stared at Gwen's winged body.

Ghostly fluctuations swelled in the depths of those deep pupils, scattered across the sky.

In particular, the more far-reaching [Justice] above the angels has focused countless eyes on Gwen's body,

The darkness began to squirm again, blasphemous murmurs mingling with shrill hissing.

It mingles with the most powerful tones, like an anxious sound erupting from beneath the boiling mire.

"Goddess...... Our...... Goddess. ”

"We ...... Need your ...... Need...... Your return. ”

Justice's voice became indistinct, excited and fanatical.

Gwen's appearance seemed to prove that the goddess of justice had not forgotten their loyal devotees, and that their prayers had received the attention of the goddess.

If you don't forget, there will be an echo.

Then, they only need to return the goddess to them, and their purpose will be achieved.

"Come on...... Goddess...... Devout believers have given everything...... Waiting for your return......"

"Accept our Justice...... At this moment, we will be a sharp blade in your hands...... For you, sweep away all the sins of the world......"

The eerie darkness above the sky stared at the silver-white Gwen, constantly emanating distorted faith from the distant depths.

However, Gwen, who was supposed to respond to the call of [Justice], was floating in the air at the moment, indifferent.

After a few minutes, the countless pupils in the depths of the sky were all stunned.

In their confusion, they saw the look in Gwen's eyes.

It is not for the sake of justice, for the sake of clearing the eyes of evil.

She doesn't have that kind of persistent belief in her, after all, if she really has the obsession of justice, she won't attack them.

That's right.

Justice does not feel that his ideas are wrong.

Any form of evil should be eliminated, and evil should be eradicated before it grows.

At the same time, it doesn't see anything wrong with attacking the human being who is seen as the source of evil.

His presence has defiled the justice of the goddesses, treating the justice bestowed upon them by the goddesses as a twisted evil.

Therefore, this human being should be eliminated by it.

But, the goddess ......

"For ...... Miscellaneous...... ......"

At this moment, Gwen, softly wrapped in a silvery-white light, calmly landed on the top of the bell tower, retracting the pair of pale holy wings that had grown from behind her.

She stood in front of Victor in a majestic knightly posture.

Holding the tail of the silver sword with both hands, he steadily inserted the sharp tip of the sword into the floor, standing as if he had made an oath.

At the same time, even the dark goddess of justice with her head made the same gesture.

She stabbed the pitch-black blade in her hand deep into the ground behind the two of them.

One hand caresses the tail of the hilt, and the other hand holds a golden scale, transforming into a protective appearance.

Then, Gwen's eyes full of determination and determination looked firmly ahead.

Looking at the deep and unfathomable darkness, he coldly declared:

"I'm not going to let anyone hurt him."

Hearing these words, the countless pupils in the dark sky instantly widened.

Each pupil is like a star twinkling in the night sky, full of shock and incomprehension.

The intense shock pierced through the light like a meteor and reverberated in the air for a long time.

I see, I see!!

She wasn't for justice at all, but for the man behind her.

The goddess of justice, who has feelings,

She abandoned the believers and embraced the beliefs of others.

Even, on the side of the devil.

Goddess, defiled.

At this moment, the entire pitch-black sky seemed to usher in a terrifying collapse.

Strange and bright colors began to weave through the darkness, and the deep silence was shattered by the impact.

The colorful light began to flicker, dazzling and full.

Black and white staggered through the air for a long time.

Then, a sharp wail pierced the silent night sky, causing the pupils of all the stars in the entire sky to flicker wildly.

Along with the countless angels floating in the air, their bodies twitched one after another, and their originally pale bodies were wrapped in various colors of light.

Eventually, the abundant light instantly dimmed and turned into a cloudy color of blood.

There were even tiny blood streaks shuttling inside, as if they were erupting blood vessels, hideous and terrifying.

Now, the whole sky is in a kind of absolute dead silence.

The original darkness was obscured by a chaotic blood.

[Justice] is crazy.

In anticipation of the return of the Goddess of Justice, they have carefully prepared a millennial plan.

But the goddesses, because of their feelings, once again abandoned their group of believers.

Feeling the sharp sound in her ears, Prisis, who was also in the air, couldn't help but cover her ears.

She only felt that her ears were unusually fragile under the scream, and a buzzing beep echoed through her skull.

What to do? Things seem to be spiraling out of control.

What the hell is going on?

Just because Miss Gwen came, they fell into such madness?

Could it be that this is the possibility that Dad is reluctant to let Miss Gwen appear here?

But when she turned her gaze back to Victor, she found that the other party still maintained a calm and elegant posture.

There was not the slightest surprise or surprise on his countenance, as if everything had been expected by him.

Prisis froze in the air, like a wooden sculpture, looking at Victor in a daze.

Then, she heard Victor's muffled voice:

"Sure enough......"

All of this is the result of Victor's deliberate guidance here.

Why did he choose Shulben as the battlefield, but Viktor did not let the residents of Shulben evacuate in advance.

Instead, these humans were left in the territory of Shulbon, and only the basic protection was carried out by the mages.

Because, the believers need these human beings,

In the same way, Victor needs this group of humans.

Believers want to convert them into the same believers, so that they have the same belief in justice.

Because they are desperate this time, just to attract Gwen to come, so as to summon the goddess of justice.

And the reason why Victor needs humans is because - demons.

Demons feed on human desires and negative emotions, and the more humans there are, the stronger they become.

Although the melodious singing of Councillor Lollett succeeded in insulating the brainwashing effect of the believers, the demons were not included.

Demons will be the first to awaken the hidden desires of human beings, rather than trying to erase their minds from the roots, as believers do.

However, Victor did not intend to use demons as a final victory.

The demon was only part of his plan, the purpose of which was to arouse the desires of the inhabitants of Sulburn.

This triggers two patterns of behavior for believers.

First of all, the inhabitants of Shulben refused to be assimilated, refusing to become believers in the goddess of justice.

Of course, this alone is not enough to motivate believers to attack these humans.

However, the appearance of demons triggers the desires in the hearts of the inhabitants.

Anger, jealousy, greed, gluttony, laziness.

These outbursts of negative emotions and desires led the believers to morally judge the inhabitants.

Question whether they will sin and whether they will breed new evil.

Since the people who are aroused by lust are not a few, almost the entire inhabitants of the city are covered.

Eventually, the monolithic consciousness of the believers was thus overloaded and it was decided to give the final judgment to these inhabitants -

Humans who do not accept the justice of the goddess and have the potential to produce criminal deeds are evil.

And evil, it must be erased.

But this goes beyond the realm of justice as defined by the goddess of justice.

You know, believers don't take the initiative to attack human beings who have not committed crimes.

But now, just because these humans are "likely to sin", they intend to wipe them all out.

This kind of behavior is enough to be defined as true evil.

Such actions of believers are bound to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At this point, Victor had succeeded.

He succeeded in changing the position of believers from their subjective [righteousness] to objective [evil].

True, when the whole world considers them evil, they become evil itself, and no one recognizes their orthodox justice anymore.

They lose the right to call themselves "Justice" and thus lose the right to invoke the Goddess of Justice.

But the Goddess of Justice is not going away, so another organization is needed to replace the followers of the Goddess of Justice.

And this substitute for the believers is the Council of Priests.

At this point, the fake goddess of justice will also become the real goddess of justice.

It's just that Gwen's appearance brings an accident to Victor.

Although he had considered the possibility of Gwen's appearance, after all, the return of the Goddess of Justice was to eliminate these believers.

To this end, he is also ready to deal with Gwen's appearance and stop the other party at any time.

This huge community of believers would be wiped out by Gwen in the name of justice.

I am afraid that Gwen's own personality will also disappear completely, and will be completely replaced by the goddess of justice.

But Gwen didn't do that.

Instead of acting in the name of "justice", she chose to appear in front of Victor in the name of "guardian".

Only to protect, not to destroy evil.

And the [Justice] in the sky also saw this, and Gwen lacked 'justice' in his body.

Because in her opinion, the protection of Victor is more important than the execution of "justice".

That's why they're collapsing and falling into the madness they are now.

"Perhaps, I'm wrong about you."

A familiar and calm voice suddenly sounded softly from behind Gwen, causing Gwen who was guarding him to be slightly stunned.

But she didn't look back, because she remembered,

What she had to do was stand in front of Victor and stand up for him......

Suddenly, Gwen felt a force pull her back.

The next second, she was forced to fall into the man's arms,

Realizing this, Gwen almost felt her body go limp.

Even the snow mastiff armor she wore on her body failed to maintain its form.

The silvery-white helmet turned into a cloud of ice crystals and lifted gently into the air, revealing her slightly surprised and beautiful face.

Then, Victor leaned down slightly, resting his head on her shoulder.

Hands passed behind her and wrapped around her.

In the dark, blood-colored sky that almost collapsed, Viktor's lips twitched.

The words with breath gently blew into Gwen's ears.

That's a certainty.

"You're my wife."

It also comes from his real recognition.

"It's my choice, and I'll never change."
