The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"Wait, Lady Lydia, it's not just that,"

Alex broke out in a cold sweat and quickly continued, "Besides the ordinary written records, those fragments also contain revelations from the gods."

"Although they are just a few scattered fragments, and the content is fragmented, we have roughly figured out some things after sorting them out..."

"Compared to today, apart from the fact that your behavior is different, the most important thing is that the story of an angel being crowned a saint did not happen in that period of history."

"That was the beginning of a different path in history than the history we are in now."

No angels crowning him?

Ella thought back and realized that in her previous life as Ye Xiao in Stormport, she had never heard of this matter.

But Ella in her previous life was also a Saintess of Light, so she always thought that she just might not have heard about it, after all...

"How could I have become a saint without the crowning of angels?"

"You really do remember..."

Alex's expression showed a hint of relief.

He was really afraid that the saintess would remember nothing at all, then all he had said before would be for nothing. Only if Ella actually remembered some things would she be interested in his information.

"This is also something that has been troubling us. We couldn't figure out the reason from the fragmented records, but after some research and investigation, we discovered that the truth might be... because the true form of the omnipotent God of Light has been corrupted."

"I have no intention of deliberately defiling the Holy Light faith, but it is no exaggeration to say that the company has the ability to explore the divine realm and the void. The company's board of directors is not just composed of ordinary humans as you might think; in addition to legends of those who have reached the Saint rank, there are even incarnations of gods."

"And this somewhat shocking fact is the truth we have gleaned from the laws of light and the narratives of the gods."

"This 'pollution' is not a concrete thing that can be intuitively analyzed, but a conceptual alteration of the laws of light and even the divine deity itself."

Chapter 173 The Truth of Chaos

"This pollution subtly alters the evolution of doctrines, the beliefs of believers, and even all understandings related to the God of Light. In this process, not only humans but also deities are affected."

"This pollution was initially applied to the gods themselves, and in order to combat the pollution, the God of Light attempted to divide and kill the polluted parts."

"You must be very familiar with this method, Lady Lydia, because this is the method that Harold, the previous king of Loren, used to fight against the bloodline curse that originated from the same pollution."

"But even the God of Light failed with this method, let alone Harold, who is just a mortal."

"The existence of the God of Light and His laws have ultimately been affected. The entire world's understanding of Him and all the laws related to Him are quietly changing."

"Hmph, if even the perceptions of the gods of this world can be altered, why can't your perceptions be?"

Ella tilted her head.

"Perhaps... because we are travelers from another world, and do not belong to this world."

Alex shrugged. “But we can indeed deduce this from the knowledge we have. For example, that ‘anti-entropy product’ in your hand, in the eyes of the true natives of the present world, including the incarnations of gods you know, would only be seen as a stone without any special characteristics, because it is covered in pollution… and at the same time, it is a source of pollution.”

As Ella listened, her hand trembled, and she almost dropped the stone.

That bastard! Why didn't he say so earlier? He threw something that even the God of Light could corrupt at her. He really wanted to kill her.

"But that doesn't make sense either. Then why can I see it?"

Ella immediately frowned.

After she finished speaking, she waited silently for two seconds. When she realized the other person didn't reply, her eyes showed impatience. "You're silent again now? Can't keep up the story?"

"No, it's just because..."

Alex swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "...because you...are the source of the pollution."

"Your existence is the root cause of the God of Light's 'madness'."

"The false saintess you killed in Stormport was the true offspring of the God of Light, Lady Lydia. The God of Light realized that something was wrong with her and gave birth to her to inherit and maintain the laws of the Holy Light. That's why she inherited the authority of the Light while you did not. However, she still became a mad god because of your corruption of the Light."

"The God of Life is a fragment of the soul that the God of Light separated and struck off to remove the pollution from your body. He regards you as his offspring because he is the part that is most polluted and whose cognition has been most distorted."

"Lady Lydia, you have never been the offspring of any of them, but rather an incarnation of an evil god who was born in their name to seize power and erode the present world by influencing the world's perception and laws."

"Therefore, your title of saint in that period of history was not crowned by angels, but was gradually altered by a perception that spread from Loren onwards... Players were not affected by the alteration and were out of control, which is why they were subjected to your massacre."

"A bunch of nonsense."

Ella gripped the scepter tightly.

If that's the case, how could she not know?

"In the fragments of the anti-entropy book, you, who lived before the time travel, were very clear about this matter. But based on our previous contact and investigation, we now find that you, who lived after the time travel, seem to be less clear about this matter."

Alex spoke quickly, knowing that he had already gone this far, and if he didn't finish his story, the girl in front of him, who was beginning to exude an ominous aura, might suddenly erupt.

"But proving this is very simple. It's still that stone in your hand. After investigation, we found that it should be part of the White Tower of the Church in the previous period of history."

"The sun mark on it is the symbol of the god of light, but there is no eye because our research found that the time of this stone was even earlier than the time before the alteration of cognition."

"In other words, the true symbol of the God of Light is simply the pure sun, without any eyes within it. The symbol of the sun with eyes within it, which we find in some ancient fragments that have been protected from contamination by divine power, is recorded as the emblem of the God of Chaos."

"As for why we identified you as the one in question... we touched the remnant soul of the Moon Goddess after her fall, and we also glimpsed what she witnessed."

As Ella listened, she lightly bit her lower lip, her beautiful face displaying a complex expression. "Absurd! Now you're telling me I'm actually an evil god? Do you think I'd still honor this deal and let you go?"

"So... I'm actually gambling too, Lady Lydia."

Alex tucked the parchment book back into his inner pocket. "Even though I've revealed your true identity, based on my current understanding and analysis of you, telling you everything is the most likely way to gain your trust now."

"Before this, the company tried its best not to contact you or attract your attention because we were not confident in saving this world that would be eroded sooner or later, and we had no intention of fighting against you."

"From beginning to end, our goal has been singular and unwavering: to create a glimmer of hope at all costs, even at the cost of some lives, so that some souls can escape this dying world."

As he spoke, Alex suddenly clasped his hands together. This sudden movement made Ella think that he was about to cast some kind of spell, so she quickly raised her staff in defense. But she saw that he simply bent his knees and knelt directly on the carpet.

"Lady Lydia, I am well aware of your immense power and have no intention of hindering your path. We are only taking in the vampire queen to achieve our goal of escaping corruption."

"The wandering vampires and the heretics of the Samuel Order have paid the price for their deeds, falling by your sword. If your desire for revenge is directed towards those innocent souls, then your purpose has been achieved."

"I am not saying this to threaten you or to bargain. I only wish to ask you, to a great deity, for a possible forgiveness in the most humble way."

"Please grant us, these earthly beings... a way to barely survive."

"..."

From her previous life to now, Ella has faced quite a few powerful enemies, but this is the first time she has encountered one who directly kneels down and begs for mercy.

Alex's expression was sincere, and what she said did indeed align with many of the things she knew.

The relationship between the God of Light and the God of Life, the existence of the descendants of the gods, and even the history of the world's retrospection...

If it weren't for Zhu Jun's attempt to trick Ye Xiao into joining the company in Grey Gold Town, Ella might have actually been fooled by this guy in front of her.

Having experienced that incident, Ella knew all too well that the guys at the company always spoke with a mix of truth and falsehood. They would always have some strange clues and try to influence your beliefs by mixing real events with false ideas.

They always downplay the important issues, using things that might interest you to grab your attention while ignoring what's truly important right now. If you follow their line of thinking, you might actually waver.

Like this Alex rambled on and on, but every time he got to the part about the specific purpose of the ritual for the vampire queen's resurrection, he wouldn't say. When asked, he'd just say, "It has no effect on beings like you," or "It's just a means for us mortals to seek a humble existence..."

No way, buddy, when you tricked Ye Xiao in Gray Gold Town, at least you released a tentacle the size of a mountain. This time, I've already fought my way here, and you think you can trick me into retreating with a small stone? Do you really think I'm stupid?

Despite her sixteen-year-old appearance, she's not just a useless person; considering Ye Xiao's nearly thirty years of life experience in her previous life, she's not someone who's just a good-for-nothing.

"Finished? I must say, Mr. Alex, your acting skills in portraying compassion are quite impressive. I happen to know some friends in Hell, so you might be able to make a decent living by acting in plays for her after you go down there."

Ella smiled, her crescent-shaped eyes revealing a mischievous glint. "But that's for later. Right now, I'll take care of getting you downstairs."

Her light and melodious voice carried a chilling undertone, and Ella finally placed her hand on the hilt of her sword.

Alex, who had looked terrified, immediately reverted to his usual expressionless poker face after hearing Ella's blunt reply.

Such fluid and effortless transformations, faster than turning the pages of a book, would likely put even the actors on the stage of the Loren Royal City Theater to shame.

He sighed silently. "Lady Lydia, where do I need to improve?"

"If you ask me...would you be a good person in your next life?"

"Alright, but this little bit of time is enough to make up for the shortfall caused by those idiots in the vampire clan."

Alex stood up, adjusted his glasses slightly, and said, "My Lord, please guide me."

Chapter 174 Darkness and Lightning

In the vast hall, towering and enormous bookshelves, like skyscrapers, surround the room.

The dust motes trembled slightly in the air, and beneath the pillar that radiated a silvery glow, Alex gently raised his arm.

A flash of electricity flickered in his palm, then swirled like a blue serpent.

Lightning magic? It doesn't require a casting medium or incantation?

Ella stared at the flickering electricity in the other's hand, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that even the dust particles in the air were being attracted by the electricity and were drifting around.

Her crimson pupils widened slightly, and the next moment, Alex suddenly flung his hand, unleashing a torrent of lightning.

"boom"

The dazzling lightning transformed into a tyrannical dragon, instantly traversing a distance of over ten meters to strike the girl's petite body. Roaring, it pierced through three rows of heavy bookshelves behind her, sending ancient pages and fragments of wooden planks flying everywhere with a thunderous crash.

Even though the attack hit its mark, Alex did not dare to relax as he looked at the billowing dust in the distance. Instead, he immediately opened his arms and summoned two more bolts of lightning from his palms.

But before he could unleash the lightning, the floor beneath his feet suddenly cracked open, and dark black silt shot up like erupting lava.

He instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, flashing continuously for ten steps before being swallowed by the sudden mud.

The silt expanded rapidly across the land like an endless abyss, and then countless long tentacles emerged from the black mud, like a net closing in on Alex's foothold.

As the tentacles rained down upon him, Alex's brows furrowed behind his glasses. His feet struck the ground with a thunderous thud, and he suddenly transformed into a streak of light, darting through the gaps between the countless tentacles piercing down.

Its speed was like that of a nimble hare darting through the forest; its dense tentacles fell, yet they couldn't even brush against the hem of his clothes.

With this lightning-fast speed, Alex leaped through the surrounding bookshelves, traversing the barrier of tentacles and climbing to the top in just a few steps.

But before Alex could regain his footing, a silver-white figure silently leaped into the air from behind, stepping onto the bookshelf, and drew a slender sword from its waist, unleashing a cold glint that shot straight toward Alex's back.

Amidst the overwhelming horde of tentacles, a hidden sword strike could easily be missed by anyone. However, Alex, who was focused on the front, suddenly seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Before Ella's sword could touch him, he immediately turned around and unleashed a powerful bolt of lightning straight towards Ella's face.

A deafening flash of light filled Ella's vision in an instant, but she had already caught the movement of the other party as it turned around. Four flexible tentacles sprouted from her back and shot down to the ground below, pulling her body downwards and changing her trajectory in the air. The lightning bolt, which contained a destructive aura, barely grazed her scalp and struck the bookshelf behind her.

Taking advantage of the brief moment of landing, Ella had a thought, and the black mud covering the floor trembled violently, transforming into a restless, pitch-black ocean that unleashed a giant wave that crashed onto the top of the cabinet where Alex was standing.

The latter once again transformed into a bolt of lightning and escaped to the top of another bookshelf, leaving the wooden cabinet beneath its feet to be smashed into pieces.

Meanwhile, the tentacles behind Ella grabbed the wooden cabinet and launched her body upwards like a stone on a slingshot. Alex, who was fleeing on top of the cabinet, saw this figure approaching again like a leech, and had no choice but to unleash several more bolts of lightning.

These bolts of lightning meandered through the air like long, boundless dragons, striking the vast black sea formed from silt like a storm.

But Ella, who had gradually begun to grasp the rhythm of the opponent's attack, managed to use the tentacles growing on her back to pull the crooked wooden cabinets around her, maneuvering through the air like a graceful swallow, and dodging the bombardment one after another with the help of the wooden cabinets as cover.

Her reaction couldn't keep up with the lightning that arrived almost instantly, but as long as her vision could catch the moment Alex raised his hand, she could dodge it with her superb mobility.

In an instant, the two transformed into two shooting stars, weaving and dodging between rows of wooden cabinets. Alex continuously unleashed lightning strikes and dodges, while Ella manipulated the endless tentacles rising from the ground to strike and relentlessly pursued the enemy with her own agility.

The wooden cabinet containing the precious books of the vampire clan throughout the ages collapsed one after another amidst the electric explosion and the sweeping tentacles. Every book, which even the clan chief used to hold with utmost care when viewing, shattered into countless fragments, like a heavy snowfall falling in the palace.

But this vast hall is ultimately a limited space. As the mud summoned by Ella completely covered the earth, the stream of light that Alex transformed into seemed to be able only to struggle futilely, flickering and shifting on the top of the cabinet.

As rows of bookshelves collapsed, there was less and less room to stand. After several chases, Alex was finally brought closer by Ella in mid-air.

A wisp of silver hair fluttered in the wind as the petite girl gripped a rapier made of pure white. Her slender wrist flicked out a glint of cold light that pierced through the fluttering pages of the book, cutting through the air and heading straight for Alex's chest.

As the sword's edge pressed against his heart, Alex's eyes, reflected in his glasses, showed no sign of panic, but instead flashed with a chilling light.

Letting the sword tip pierce through his body, Alex swung his right hand and suddenly spread his five fingers wide towards Ella.

Crimson runes suddenly appeared on the scattered pages of the books around them, like characters carved with blood that inadvertently emitted a red glow.

Large numbers of incantations linked together in mid-air, then spiraled and assembled into a scarlet spherical barrier, instantly transforming into a floating cage that tightly locked the bewildered girl inside.

The pages, which had been fluttering like snowflakes, no longer flipped randomly, but were instead bound one by one to the outer edge of the spherical barrier, as if by an invisible force.

Ella was shocked to find that she could not move her body at all for a moment, as thousands of chains emerged from countless pages of books, piercing through her torso and limbs.

"My lord, cough... please forgive my little trick, but since I am your enemy, I have no choice but to make as many preparations as possible."

Alex, on the other hand, was clearly unaffected by the barrier. Before the flying pages could completely seal it, he leaped out like lightning.

Even though he had sealed Ella off, Alex didn't dare step directly onto the surging mud that covered the earth. Instead, he found the tops of the few remaining wooden cabinets and stood on them.

Furthermore, the wound on his chest inflicted by Ella's rapier was still there, so his condition wasn't exactly good.

"And... just as I expected, you have indeed become weaker."

Seeing the girl's resolute gaze, Alex smiled gently. "This city is now shrouded in the divine kingdom of the vampire queen. As an incarnation of a foreign deity, your arbitrary use of divine power will be rejected by this world."
