The war of Caldera was over.
At the end of the war, after Justice's chosen, Lynn, took down Alice the Cannon, the advantage of Olivia's faction vanished instantly.
The succubi could not defeat the strongest army of the Nether Realm in a head-on battle. Therefore, they retreated repeatedly under the relentless attacks of the Blood Cavalry.
However, in the end… the war still ended with Olivia taking victory.
Olivia's final trump card was an ancient dragon that came to her rescue.
She was one of Olivia's best friends who were close to her and would help her in her personal capacity…
To be precise, she was Olivia's elder sister.
As the snow-white dragon entered, the advantage that the Gospel Blood Cavalry had just obtained collapsed rapidly in her apocalyptic dragon breath tsunami.
Before long, the Blood Cavalry in Caldera were wiped out by the sister, leaving nothing behind.
When the final door to the Nether Realm from the enemy dissipated…
Olivia won.
However…
Before Olivia's sister left, she revealed a piece of grievous news that silenced Olivia.
"I'm sorry, Olivia. This is the last time I'll help you."
"Right now, everyone supports you the white you. If I continue to support you, they will treat me as an enemy."
Olivia was not surprised. She sighed. "From what you're saying, that white one is truly quite overboard."
Her sister smiled bitterly. "Pretty much..."
Her sister's bitter smile seemed like she was helpless against the White Dragon Princess and her compatriots. However, Olivia could tell that her sister was only troubled by a single dragon.
Her younger sister.
Olivia.
To be precise, it was this black Olivia herself.
Olivia's sister left.
The snow-white and flawless ancient dragon spat out a ball of dragon breath at the sky and opened up a spell path that was completely different from the usual dimensional rifts and returned to her own habitat.
From then on, she severed ties with Olivia.
White…
What a beautiful color.
Olivia once had a pair of pure white wings as well.
Soaring through the skies with dreams in her heart.
Olivia sat on her throne in silence.
Another compatriot had chosen to abandon her.
Olivia never had an answer towards this.
She could not understand.
She had clearly done her best to protect and help them. Why… was she getting further and further away from them instead?
Could it be that in the eyes of her compatriots, Olivia was the same as the pitiful Moon Goddess? Was her mind distorted and she applied some cruel and extreme methods towards them...?
However, that was the saddest part.
Similar to Compassion...
Olivia would never know what she did wrong.
In the end, the desolation in her heart turned into a helpless long sigh.
She had won this war without any joy at all.
This won't do.
I can't be the only one who's depressed.
Time to use Justice to get some fun.
…
…
On the ground of blood and skulls, the Blood Empress's reaction was extremely calm after learning of the crushing defeat of the Blood Cavalry in Caldera.
A defeat was a defeat.
The blood had already been spilled and the killing was over. Everything was settled and Justice had no choice but to accept this humiliating outcome.
What else could she do?
Kill all these trashes to vent her anger?
Although that did seem rather... plausible?
The Blood Empress's cold gaze swept across every single subordinate present.
The apostles who had just returned from the battlefield were so frightened that their bodies trembled. Even the most violent and bloodthirsty Blood Fiends could not help but tremble in fear under the resentful gaze of the Blood Empress.
The apostles looked at each other in fear.
If this continued, the Blood Empress might even kill all of them embarrassing defeated generals and crush their souls!
T-They had to do something...
Finally, a Justice apostle trembled as she mustered all her courage in an attempt to divert the Empress's attention.
"Erm, Your Majesty... Actually we're all curious. Why do you think Chosen Lynn disappeared after defeating the monster raised by Olivia?"
"Hmm?"
The Blood Empress's gaze was terrifyingly calm.
The apostle who spoke broke out in cold sweat and almost suffocated under the terrifying pressure.
She was afraid that the Blood Empress would reply coldly with a "don't shirk responsibility" before killing her on the spot!
That makes sense…
However, after the Blood Empress thought of Lynn, doubts arose in her heart.
She averted her gaze and shifted her attention away from the apostles.
After Lynn defeated Alice, she should have stayed on the battlefield and continued fighting.
Although the Blood Empress did not give her the order to participate in the battle, just like how birds were born to fly and succubi were born loving sex... The desire for war should have already been ingrained in the instincts of this chosen.
Why did she reject the temptation and leave in a hurry with Alice?
Furthermore, why was Lynn next door to Rayne's residence? What was the relationship between her and Rayne now?
Naturally, Justice hoped that her chosen would be as close to Rayne as possible. However, there seemed to be many evidence now that indicated that... Lynn did not become Rayne's helper.
She did not appear in Rayne's travels and according to the records in her notebook of sacrifices, she has not killed any strong enemies for Rayne either.
In that case, where did Lynn take the defeated Moonlight Queen?
What was Lynn trying to do?
What a pity.
The Blood Empress did not know.
After the victory, Olivia occupied Caldera. At the same time, she used her corruption to cover the traces left behind by the other evil gods.
Right now, the evil god controlling the skies was Olivia.
In Olivia's territory, the Blood Empress was restricted everywhere. There were almost no investigative methods that she could use.
The Blood Cavalry had already been killed and the door to the Nether Realm could not be opened. All sorts of seals that restricted the evil gods spread out in the skies of the Heavenly Kingdom, keeping Justice at bay!
This was clearly Olivia's masterpiece to declare her sovereignty.
It was a declaration of her sovereignty over Caldera as well as… her sovereignty over Rayne Haines!
Damn it!
The Blood Empress was enraged.
However…
There was still a flaw in the defense that Olivia had built for the Heavenly Kingdom!
The Blood Empress had one last method.
Sensory synchronization.
The chosens of the evil gods were experts that the evil gods recognized the most. At the same time, they were the mortal creatures that were the most similar to the evil gods.
Therefore, with the good compatibility between the chosens and the evil gods, under certain conditions, the chosens could even become the bodies of the evil gods in the mortal world!
There were advantages and disadvantages to such possession descent compared to the release of projections. However, the similarity between them was that... one had to satisfy extremely harsh conditions to use them.
However...
If the requirements were to be lowered such that the evil god did not have to assimilate the bodies of the chosens completely but merely to coexist peacefully with the chosens and share their senses...
That was actually very simple.
That would do then.
She would obtain Lynn's senses and synchronize her vision as well. That way, the Blood Empress could clearly grasp Lynn's current situation.
Therefore, the spell was activated.
The Blood Empress's soul was connected to the chosen in the mortal world above.
Right then, the Blood Empress's expression changed drastically.
Suddenly, her body trembled!
Not good…
Right now, Lynn was in an extremely intense emotional state!
An intense stimulation blasted into the Blood Empress's mind, causing her to almost want to cry out on the spot.
However…
The dignified Blood Empress pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, trying her best not to make a single sound.
The apostles present were extremely shocked and at a loss when they saw the Blood Empress's trembling expression of pain.
"Your Majesty, you…"
"Retreat!"
"But you…"
"I told you guys to ahh—retreat!"
The Blood Empress chased away the dumbfounded apostles with the most furious and ferocious tone.
She stayed on the throne alone and gritted her teeth as she endured the violent emotional impact that did not belong to her and shouted a name.
She should have shouted the name of Olivia, the culprit who harmed her once more.
However, what the Blood Empress truly said was…
"R-Rayne, how could you…"
The war of Caldera was over.
