She seemed to see her mother's disappointed expression, Tia's heartbroken gaze, the wails and despair of all living beings on the Tianxuan Continent, and her brothers and sisters in the church glaring at her with their divine weapons and lightsabers raised high.

His dark pupils suddenly contracted, the deep blue light magnified considerably, and his mind instantly calmed down; the demonic sounds in his ears vanished.

Yes, how could I have forgotten all of this?

If I were to truly devour all living beings of the Tianxuan Continent, even if I won this war, what difference would there be between me and the Dragon Emperor?

Never sacrifice innocent lives for personal gain—this was the bottom line Valensa set for herself when she found out about her origins.

Because regardless of her bloodline and power, she believed she should be a human being, not an evil god.

Stay true to yourself.

The second half of Yi Qiuya's guidance on how to achieve the only happy ending also surfaced in Valensa's mind, allowing her to regain her composure completely.

Thinking about it rationally again, if eating the purple orb could really reverse the battle, would the Dragon Emperor deliberately place it so conspicuously and show it off?

Certainly not.

This is a trap... If you actually eat the purple orb, not only will you not be able to win, but you may also face the worst possible future.

After realizing all this, Valensa instantly became clear-headed, as if struck by a thunderbolt, and took several steps back to distance herself from the purple orb.

The Dragon Emperor's face showed a look of great regret:

"So close... so close, you were almost mine."

"...This was indeed a trap!"

Although she regained consciousness in time, the difference in Chaos God Power remained. After taking a few steps back, Valensa's legs began to weaken again, and she had to clench her teeth to barely stand.

"of course."

Although the Dragon Emperor felt regret, he didn't seem worried. He still felt confident of victory and kindly advised:

"This is indeed a trap, but it is also your best chance to end the suffering... Now that you have missed this opportunity, you will only suffer more and feel more despair."

"..."

Valensa had nothing to say, or perhaps she was too speechless to say anything.

“I noticed you a few years ago, when you used the divine artifact with the Holy Maiden of the Sun Church to swagger across the continent in front of my palace.”

The Dragon Emperor then began to explain his plan, seemingly aiming to completely shatter Valensa's will to resist.

"That's when I changed my mind... The abundant resources of the Barbarian Continent are good, but you are the most precious treasure."

"As long as I can get you and make you completely my possession, it would be worth it even if I lost the entire Central Continent Empire... I don't care about the complete annihilation of the army."

"Because even the continent favored by the gods cannot withstand the combined forces of two evil gods... You will become my strongest vanguard, helping me conquer everything."

"So, while you were scheming to defeat my army, I was also scheming to get you."

“I deliberately let my bunch of idiots make mistakes and fall into traps, and I turned a blind eye to the actions of those clowns in the resistance, all to create an opportunity for you to come here to see me.”

"Because your Abyss Spirit Clan's evil god is indeed very strong, if it weren't within my own territory, I really wouldn't be able to defeat you."

"But as long as you come to the palace and face me directly, I have a way to completely conquer you, to make you my possession, my strongest weapon."

"Therefore, I have prepared two contingency plans."

"The first option is that sword formation... In the plan, the power of that sword formation is enough to force you to tear off your disguise and reveal the power of the evil god."

“Once that happens, I will record your evil god form and make it public.”

"Haven't you always wanted to gather evidence against me so that the Church of the Sun would have an excuse to intervene in the war? Actually, that's what I was thinking too."

"If people knew that the famous legendary female knight was actually an evil god, and that the defeat of the descending evil god was just a play staged by you sisters... what would people think?"

"Then the nature of this war will change. I will not send troops to invade, but to punish you, this treacherous evil god... Your relatives and friends will be condemned by everyone, and those who once worshipped you will hate you."

"You certainly don't want this, right? Then you can only succumb to my threats, make appropriate concessions, and reach some kind of agreement with me... This is just the first step. Once this step is taken, I am confident that I can slowly train and transform you, making you completely mine."

"I never expected you to have become so much stronger over the years... You not only broke through the sword formation I had carefully prepared, but also severely injured me, allowing me to reveal my true form first."

"So I have no choice but to use the second option."

"First, I will strengthen myself by gathering the life and soul power of all living beings in the empire, and then I will suppress you severely in the contest of chaotic divine power."

"Then we will take advantage of the characteristics of your Abyss Spirit Clan and force you to devour the lives and souls of those creatures out of your survival instinct."

"Just like I did before."

“The life force and soul of those creatures are all marked with my mark… If you really eat them, it will be like drinking nectar laced with poison. No matter how firm your will is, you will directly become my property and kneel down to swear your submission to me.”

"I never expected you to actually endure it once with sheer willpower."

"But how much longer can you endure this?"

"With the support of these life forces and souls, your chaotic divine power is definitely inferior to mine. Continuing to resist is nothing but a futile struggle."

"And the instinct to survive will override everything... Even if you hold back now, you will eventually lose your mind and walk to my side, just like before, eat the poisonous fruit I prepared for you, and have your body and soul marked by me, swearing allegiance to me."

Chapter 82 The Glory of Humanity!

"Fear! Tremble! Kneel!"

As the Dragon Emperor finished speaking, he laughed heartily, raised his hands high, and gently pushed the eerie purple orb of light towards Valensa, sending a little more towards her.

"Eat this, submit to me, and you will receive supreme satisfaction and happiness."

"..."

Valensa remained silent.

She clenched her fist in one hand and gripped the black stockings on her leg tightly with the other, gritting her teeth as she patiently listened to the Dragon Emperor's explanation of his conspiracy, enduring all the discomfort.

Even now, the Dragon Emperor has once again prematurely declared victory.

Valensa finally asked the question in a trembling voice:

"You used all the living beings of the Tianxuan Continent as poisonous fruit just to obtain me? What about this empire you built with your own hands? What about those people who are loyal to you? Although you have the blood of an evil god, you are also the ruler of the Zhongzhou Empire, aren't you? Don't you really have any humanity at all?"

"Human nature? You actually asked me about human nature? Hahahaha..."

The Dragon Emperor suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with mockery:

"Why should I have humanity? I am an evil god! A noble Chaos God! The human blood flowing in my veins is the greatest shame of my life! Why do I so desperately want to grow up? It's because I want to transform into a complete Chaos God and completely sever ties with this lowly human race!"

After finishing his words through gritted teeth, the Dragon Emperor looked at Valensa with great surprise:

"You actually asked me a question like that... You haven't gotten too into character, have you? You've been hanging out with humans for so long that you actually think you're human, have you?"

"Of course I'm human! I always have been!"

Valensa immediately raised her head proudly and answered without hesitation.

"Then you are truly a disgrace to the Chaos Gods!"

The Dragon Emperor immediately expressed his deep contempt for Valensa:

"Once you are completely mine, I will definitely train you properly and make you a qualified Chaos God, so that you will forget everything about being human!"

"Let's talk about it when you can actually beat me!"

Valensa glared at the Dragon Emperor with disdain, then abruptly changed the subject, asking:

"Since you're about to win, do you dare admit... that the Zhongzhou Empire has so many demonic beast bloodlines because of your intention, and that you're organizing large-scale cannibalism among humans?"

"Yes, I did all of this!"

The Dragon Emperor readily admitted it, and did so with a straight face:

"Isn't this normal? As a noble Chaos God, how can my territory be filled with lowly species like humans? Everything I do is to help those lowly species evolve to the point where they are qualified to serve me. They should be thanking me!"

After speaking, the Dragon Emperor frowned slightly and looked at Valensa thoughtfully:

"Speaking of which, I seem to recall something from my inherited memories... Your Abyss Spirit God Clan detests cannibalism among intelligent life forms the most, and you target any intelligent civilization that does so... Could it be that your elders descended into this world because of me?"

"...I knew it was like that...then there's nothing to hesitate about."

Valensa took a deep breath, her dark blue eyes seeming to burn.

She has made her decision:

"Since solving you would really solve two problems at once, then..."

Click.

The sound of shattering gems echoed within Valensa's body.

A divine power, completely opposite in nature to the chaotic divine power but equally powerful, suddenly erupted from Valensa's lower abdomen.

This divine power clashed violently with Valensa's own chaotic divine power, causing golden cracks to appear all over her body almost instantly, making her look like a glass doll about to shatter.

But with the blessing of this divine power, Valensa once again leveled the gap between the divine powers.

His legs were no longer weak, his body was no longer trembling, the brainwashing voices in his ears had all disappeared, and his face had turned from pale to rosy as if he were experiencing a final burst of energy.

She ultimately chose to destroy the secondary core, releasing the Yangyan Divine Power that had accumulated within it for three years, causing it to clash severely with the Chaos Divine Power within her body.

If things continue like this, she will soon die, disappearing completely from Eve Star along with the entire Tianxuan Continent.

The Dragon Emperor also realized this.

The arrogance and confidence he displayed when prematurely declaring victory vanished, replaced by panic, and he even shouted in exasperation:

"Are you insane? You actually forcibly fused so much Yangyan Divine Power and Chaos Divine Power... You're doomed to die doing this! Do you really love such lowly species as humans that much?"

"Of course, because I'm human too, and I might not even die!"

Valensa's eyes were firm and unwavering. She reached out her hand again, and although her hand was empty, she still made a gesture as if drawing a sword.

"do you know?"

Valencia also started trash-talking.

Ignoring the Dragon Emperor's anger, panic, and exasperation, she spoke of her feelings with the confidence and composure of an enlightened being:

"You keep saying that humans are a lowly species, but do you really understand what a true human being is?"

"Are they intelligent life forms that evolved from monkeys?"

"This is certainly one type of human being, and the most numerous type of human being in the universe, but it is far from the entirety of humankind."

"Fran is a vampire, an intelligent life form evolved from ancient vampire bats. She should be cold-blooded and cruel, feeding on blood, but she fears light and heat and will turn to ashes under the sun."

"But in reality, Fran is warm and cheerful, a very gentle and kind girl. She is always willing to help others and never harms life. She is never afraid of the sun and even enjoys sunbathing."

“Many ancient vampire worshippers consider this a form of depravity, but I don’t think so. I believe it is actually a form of evolution.”

"The new generation of vampires, like Fran, have always lived human lives, possessed human hearts, and overcome the various shortcomings of vampires."

"They completed the evolution from vampires to humans."

"Same reason."

Valensa took a step forward and looked directly into the Dragon Emperor's eyes:

"Her Highness Saintess Velenkasa is a frost demon. I heard that she was originally very cruel, using ice and snow to dominate everything on her home planet, and even actively provoking a war against Her Majesty the Goddess."

"But now, Princess Velenkasa is just an ordinary girl who likes to drink iced yogurt and play video games. She often slacks off, but she is very serious when she is working... At least she was responsible when she was teaching me divine magic. She is a good teacher and a good senior."

"Princess Velenkasa, she also evolved from a frost demon into a human."

"And then there's Sister Rika, who was originally the succubus queen who ruled the dungeons, torturing human adventurers for entertainment and eating human life essence."

"But now, the reborn Sister Rika is the captain of the Holy Knights, and she works diligently every day to protect humanity from all kinds of dangerous disasters, monsters and cults."

"It's obvious that Sister Rika has also completed the evolution from a succubus to a human."

"And Sister Zero from the church headquarters... and other saintly sisters, and all the brothers and sisters with so-called inhuman blood."

"They all possess superhuman powers, yet they never consider themselves superior. Instead, they maintain a pure and humble human heart and always live in a human way."

"I believe they are all human beings."

"The standard for judging whether a life is human should not be its bloodline and strength, but whether it has a human heart."

"Of course, me too."

Valensa suddenly broke into a radiant smile, and gently placed her hand, which wasn't in a sword-drawing stance, on her chest.

“I have always considered myself a human being…I was, I am, and I will be.”

"If you insist on using my bloodline as an argument, then I can only tell you this."

"I, Valensa Yuan Bader, am without a doubt a human being! A human being evolved from the Abyss Spirit Evil God!"
