I'm here to save the world, what are you doing?

Page 81

If I could have another chance, I would definitely stay at home.

The dense crowd began to spontaneously retreat to the sides.

There was no shouting, no pushing, everyone quietly and solemnly separated, making a wide passage for Lucius and his group.

The road seemed to be carefully paved by an invisible hand, leading straight ahead.

The ordinary people in the city, those who had once doubted Lucius and misunderstood him, now one after another placed their right hands on their chests, lowered their heads, and saluted their guardian with the most solemn ancient etiquette paid to heroes and saviors.

"God bless Lu, may he always be victorious and bask in glory."

"Young Lord, do you have a plan?"

"Plan? My plan is to confront her directly.

Lucius smiled slightly, his face full of confidence:

“Sometimes the simplest methods are the most effective.”

"A mere tenth level, easily mastered."

Lucius pulled out his comm crystal and tapped it lightly with his fingers.

How dare a tenth-rank priest be so arrogant?

You really don’t go out without asking who Brother Lu is. Brother Lu may not be as capable as you, but what about his connections?

Come to the East and try it!

"..."

Seeing Lucius's confident look, Sanita's tense shoulders gradually relaxed, and the uneasiness in her heart receded like a tide, and she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Well, since that’s the case, I’ll just risk my life to accompany you.

"Then, let's go."

Lucius waved his hand:

"Let us save Lienia together."

................

The altar site chosen by Priest Chris is on the other side of the lake.

When Lucius and his companions finally arrived, it was already dark and the moon peeked out from behind the clouds.

The altar was built hundreds of years ago and is made of huge stones. It still stands tall after years of test.

Dozens of Chaos cultists in purple robes had gathered around the altar.

They formed a circle, chanting obscure spells in low voices, and purple energy condensed above the altar like a constantly twisting mist.

At the highest point of the altar stood a seemingly young but powerful figure—Priest Chris.

She looked like a little girl about ten years old, with silver-black ombré hair, a delicate face, and a pair of large, bright purple eyes.

He was dressed in a gorgeous purple priest robe and held a staff that looked like rotten wood.

Although she looked like a little girl, she exuded a suffocating aura, as if the air around the entire lake had become heavy because of her presence.

"Reinhardt, take your men and block all passages along the lake to prevent more Chaos believers from arriving."

"Ferdinand and Victoria, you are responsible for monitoring the surrounding situation and report any unusual movements immediately."

"Xiao Ai, you and Sanita come forward with me."

Lucius made quick arrangements, but his eyes remained fixed on the altar.

「Christine Tistelin Lv.109

Gift: Fateweaving (Red)

Condition: Perfect, Pleasant

Casting axis: None

Oh my god, Sanita’s information was wrong, this is not an ordinary tenth level at all!

This is a terrifyingly powerful person who is at the peak of the tenth level and is only one step away from entering the saint level.

But it doesn’t matter, with Brother Lu’s powerful connections, even the Saint level is not enough.

Lucius walked slowly towards the altar with Iveliya and Sanita, each step steady and firm.

When they were still dozens of steps away from the altar, Priest Chris finally seemed to notice them.

She stopped what she was doing and slowly turned around, her purple eyes sparkling.

"Lucius Turaianus Clovis."

Her voice was clear and sweet, full of joy:

"The thread of fate has finally brought us together. I have been looking forward to meeting you."

But at this moment, Ivylia frowned——

"Christine Tistelin Lv.109 (???)

■■：■■

Condition: Perfect, Pleasant

Additional Item: Domination Avatar (EX)

Risk Assessment: Critically Dangerous!!!"

Iveliya: ???

"Shit! Run! Brother Lu! This isn't a Chaos Cult priest at all."

This guy is clearly the incarnation of that bastard Fate!

"Lu..."

Iveliya grabbed Lucius' wrist and was about to speak, but Priest Chris seemed to have guessed what she was going to do.

"Shh-"

Priest Chris gracefully placed her index finger against her moist lips, winked and chuckled, saying:

"Silence."

"..."

After the words fell, a hint of confusion appeared in Iviliya's eyes, and then she regained her clarity.

"What's wrong, Ai?"

Lucius turned to look at Iveliya in confusion.

He didn't notice Priest Chris's actions—or rather, reality had changed slightly.

"Oh, nothing. I just want to remind you to be more careful."

Iveliya spoke naturally.

At this moment, she had forgotten everything she had just seen.

The feedback given by the spiritual eyes was basically the same as what Lucius saw.

"Hey, Priest Chris, can you stop this ceremony?"

Lucius looked at Priest Chris's delicate and beautiful face and subconsciously wanted to convince her with reason.

Villains who are this beautiful will generally be whitewashed. This is the underlying logic of the world.

Upon hearing this, Priest Chris actually laughed, and her laughter echoed in the night sky, but it also contained an unsettling flavor.

She jumped down from the altar and bounded towards Lucius like an ordinary little girl playing.

But every step she took left a drifting afterimage behind her, making her look even more impressive.

"Are you asking me for something? All…Lucius?"

She tilted her head, her long hair swaying slightly with the movement.

There was a hint of teasing in her tone, as if she were teasing a kitten.

"If I asked, would you stop?"

There was a hint of anticipation in Lucius' eyes.

Oh my, it would be great if the incident could be resolved without bloodshed.

"Of course... no."

A sly look flashed in her eyes, and she chuckled:

"It's no use begging me. You're so naive and cute."

Then, she turned her gaze to Sanita and spoke in a surprisingly gentle tone:

"Sanita, my child, I am not surprised to see you on his side."

"Like I once told you, everyone has the right to choose. If you make a choice and don't regret it, then this choice is perfect."

"Priest Chris, I..."

Sanita's eyes moved slightly and she wanted to say something.

Priest Chris had been teaching her since she was seven years old. Although she often disappeared, it was because of her protection that Sanita was able to grow up safely in the chaotic environment of the cult.

It's a bit hard to admit, but Priest Chris is indeed half her mother.

Wow, these all belong to Lolita moms~

"It doesn't matter. After all, I used you too."

Priest Chris raised her hand to interrupt Sanita's speech, and continued to look into Lucius's eyes, a meaningful smile curling up at the corner of her mouth:

"I like you very much, Lucius, no matter what."

"Perhaps in another world, we would be good partners, or even... have a closer relationship."

Her voice was as sweet as honey, yet held a dangerous allure.

Iveliya: ...

It’s okay for Sanita, after all, she’s used to it.

But what's wrong with you, you little brat?

Damn, is Brother Lu the membership-only restaurant of your Chaos Cult?

Anyone want to ride one?

I can't stand it anymore, I have to strike hard!

"Hehe, with your skinny body?"

Iveliya sarcastically said:

"Forget it, there's no way Brother Lu will like you."
