I would rather betray the gods

However, the head butler remained completely unmoved upon hearing these words.

Because it remains to be seen who the hunter and who the hunted are.

He had only pretended to be surprised to confirm whether Latina had any other intentions, and in the end he was certain that she only had intentions that were under their control.

"How can you be so sure that the person who went to the appointment is the God King's beloved?" the head steward asked rhetorically.

No one knew the head butler better than Latina. Even a subtle change in his expression alerted Latina to the fact that this was a trap. Her gaze instantly turned icy, devoid of its usual gentleness. "You went to all this trouble just to drag me out?"

"Recently, all instruments have been unable to detect the aura of the inner demon. Therefore, there are only two possibilities: the inner demon no longer exists, or the inner demon has transformed from a two-dimensional being into a three-dimensional being and changed its aura. Let's take this opportunity to verify the reason for the signal interruption."

Now that things had come to this, the head steward had no reason to be sad, and simply treated the person in front of him as an old acquaintance.

Following the clues to find the God-King's beloved yielded no results, and instead exposed her inner demons, which underwent a complete transformation. Latina, having failed in her attempt to steal a chicken, smiled sadly.

The head butler took out his pocket watch to check the time, and decided to let her understand the outcome by swiping her over. So he led her to the "Galaxy Eye" and swiped the screen with one hand.

Masami Yuzu and her "beloved" stroll along a mountain path.

"Why didn't you hold my hand after walking for so long?" The person she loved stopped and stared intently at Yuzu, asking.

"It's better not to, I'm not used to it the first time."

Yuzu looked up at the sky, avoiding her gaze, thinking to herself, "Who are you? Just because we're acting doesn't mean we have to hold hands."

Suddenly, her beloved leaped up and wrapped his arms around Yuzu's neck.

As if its sore spot had been suppressed, Yuzu suddenly bristled and tried to break free.

"Second Master, don't move. The enemy is already here. They won't show themselves unless we act convincingly."

The one I love whispers in my ear.

She sensed the unusual moisture in the surrounding air; the dew on every leaf was wriggling.

That tone... is vibrant!

Yuzu only knew to act with a woman according to the plan, but she didn't expect Banlan to take the stage herself.

He glanced sideways at the person holding him; their voice and face were completely unmarked, truly a master of disguise.

He rolled his eyes and scanned his surroundings, wondering why he couldn't detect anything unusual.

Just as he was pondering, a white shadow flashed by, and he saw that Banlan had been shot in the back with an arrow.

An arrow made of water?

He was shocked to see the arrows in Banlan's body. Before he could react, Banlan fell to the ground.

Even after falling to the ground, Banlan didn't forget to wink at him.

Yuzi was completely stunned. Was she still going to act after all this?

After a rapid thought, he decided to continue acting, otherwise he would be letting down Banlan's injuries. So he struck a pose, looked around, and said, "Who's there? Come out!"

"Just as rumored, the current God King Pisces is incredibly weak."

A master can recognize a person with just one move. Seeing that Youzi was putting on a show that even a three-year-old wouldn't use, the assassin hiding in the shadows slowly revealed himself and made a sarcastic remark to her face.

Countless water droplets condensed into human shapes, then solidified, finally transforming into a woman in white with one eye.

The other eye of the person was the one that was stored in Latina's palm, so at this moment the eye hole was covered with a cloth.

"Who are you, and why have you hurt the one I love?"

The situation regarding Banlan was unclear, and Youzi asked without much confidence, proving that it's better to rely on oneself than on others.

Little did anyone know, Banlan, lying on the ground, secretly smiled as she heard him say that she was his sweetheart, knowing it was all an act, and was secretly delighted.

"The Great Ruler of Helamut Star, the Source of All Waters, the Water Spirit."

The person who came announced their name.

...

Yuzu hadn't even figured out the dukes and nobles on Earth, let alone the titles in this galaxy. She didn't have much of a concept of it and wondered if this person's status was on par with hers or if he was just a little lower in rank.

Lost in thought, he drifted off into a daze.

"Hey, even though you're a god-king, your life is in my hands right now. Show some respect!"

Seeing that Youzi had somehow lost her mind, Shui Ling was quite angry. As she spoke, a crescent-shaped water scythe appeared in her hand.

For some reason, the water sickle gave Yuzu a strange chill.

Perhaps that was murderous intent. Yuzu thought to herself.

However, Yuzu corrected her attitude as a result.

Indeed, this is a real, real battle. Identity does not represent strength. If the opponent is someone who doesn't hesitate, he might have already lost his head in the short time he was distracted!

Seeing Yuzu looking serious, Shuiling proudly raised her water sickle.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She wants to see how powerful the God King Pisces is. If possible, she can even cut off his head and make a name for herself in the starry sea!

Just as she was eagerly anticipating her challenge, and the surrounding dew seemed to be stirring with excitement because of her, she suddenly froze.

The god-king's beloved, who had just been shot by her water arrow, slowly stood up from the side.

"Each God-King governs 3,600 realms, each with 100,000 stars. How dare a mere minor Star God flaunt his title before my God-King?!"

Banlan ripped off her mask.

Just like the Earth, those living at the top of the pyramid can't possibly know everyone at every level, but everyone at every level knows those at the top. Shui Ling immediately recognized Ban Lan, and was both surprised and frightened, taking several steps back.

"How is that possible? You were clearly hit by my water arrow!"

Shui Ling was even more surprised by Ban Lan's injuries.

Just like on Earth, although social classes differ, everyone is equal before weapons. Shui Ling racked her brains but couldn't figure out why Ban Lan was unharmed after being hit by that arrow without any warning.

What if that's the case?

With one hand facing upwards, Banlan slowly pulled the other hand upwards from the palm of the first hand. Water molecules rapidly condensed between the two hands, gradually forming a water arrow exactly like the one Shui Ling had released.

Then, she pressed her hand down, and the water jets disappeared, becoming shorter and shorter.

This tells Shui Ling that her arrow was neutralized by Banlan the moment it touched Banlan's back, creating the illusion of being hit by an arrow.

"So you're into water sports too, that's interesting."

When it comes to water magic, the Water Spirit is born from the source of all waters and is the best among its kind!

Shui Ling's confidence soared, and she aimed her crescent-shaped water scythe at Banlan, her expression gradually becoming eerie.

Does that mean I was showing off my limited skills in front of an expert?

Women understand women better. Seeing the colorful changes in her expression, I almost burst out laughing. So, I beckoned to her with my finger, signaling her to go all out and not hold back.

This further fueled Shui Ling's fighting spirit. As a top-tier being in the water realm, how could she tolerate such provocation?

A cold light gradually filled her eyes.

Another glint of cold light flashed across the blade of the crescent-shaped water scythe. It was a special layer of star power that she had infused into the weapon. With this enhancement, the water scythe could cut through hair and kill enemies without leaving a trace!

In the blink of an eye, Shui Ling spun around and swung her water sickle, aiming straight at Ban Lan.

The water scythe slices through the air, creating mist on both sides, demonstrating its power.

Banlan, on the one hand, seemed unserious, but on the other hand, she became very serious, her eyes fixed on the water scythe. On the other hand, she remained completely still, even crossing her arms over her chest, looking like a live target.

Yuzu deeply understands her tendency to be more willful, especially at crucial moments.

But right now, the water scythe seemed to be splitting the light into shadows. He couldn't figure out what was wrong with her again. Could it be that she had fallen into the trap of women arguing over who was superior?

"Banlan, what are you standing there for!"

Yuzu was both anxious and angry.

But he regretted it the next second. Because of his words, Banlan's focused gaze suddenly turned to him.

|Immortal Technique - Blazing Shield|

Without a second thought, Yuzu raised her middle and index fingers to activate her spell, hoping that her powerful stellar energy could help her withstand the water scythe.

He's clearly not academically proficient. What he's doing is no different from throwing money at robbers instead of using inherited wealth to build up an army to fight them. But it will definitely have some effect.

In the end, he was still a step too late. Before his spell could even generate the water scythe, it struck Banlan with the force of a thunderbolt!

He couldn't bear to look at it and turned his head away, closing his eyes.

Immediately afterward, a small gust of wind stirred up by the water scythe blew past him, chilling his heart in the process.
