The Villain Saint is my secondary account

At that moment, a layer of water bubbles suddenly condensed on the deputy envoy's body and expanded. Although it only delayed Ye Xiao's sword for half a second, a wave then surged over and swept the deputy envoy away, barely avoiding the decapitating sword.

It was Encia's divine magic that saved the deputy envoy by allowing her to intervene from behind.

Having missed his first attack, Ye Xiao immediately switched targets without even looking back, raising his hand to throw his flying sword, which accurately struck the white-bearded mage who had just used the Wind Control Technique to create a distance of less than five meters.

"Snapped!"

With the teleportation activated, Ye Xiao flashed in front of the mage the instant the flying sword struck, and his enormous wolf claw slammed down on the top of the mage's head, smashing the mage's upper body, who had no time to defend himself, like smashing a watermelon.

Blood and flesh splattered and spread across the water-stirred ground, like a bright red lotus blooming.

Encia couldn't cast her divine spell a second time and could only watch helplessly as the high-ranking followers she had recruited dwindled once again.

This caused her expression to turn ashen, tinged with a hint of fear.

As the soldiers and followers in the front row on the other side rushed over, the smoke and dust cleared, and the charred corpse of the burly man with the iron fist finally came into view.

Ensia's authority is focused on nourishment and harmony, not on being a god skilled in battle.

Even so, her lord still granted her two extraordinary combat powers: the Lantern Envoy and the Orc City Lord, not to mention the grandmasters and many other masters who were relegated to the background during the attack.

Even so, a dozen or so high-level combatants separated and surrounded this one person, and still managed to kill two of them at the cost of losing only one arm.

A strong killing intent emanated from the man, who was still dressed in tattered clothes. Even though he only had one arm left, Ye Xiao's face remained calm beneath his disheveled hair.

But now, no one dared to underestimate this carefree guy anymore. The invisible sense of oppression now seemed to tangibly spread outwards, making people feel suffocated.

The goddess who had temporarily assumed the throne, along with her large group of high-ranking followers, all stopped in their tracks around Ye Xiao, who stood alone in the center of the arena covered in blood, and none of them dared to step forward for a moment.

"My God, the battlefield over there is so gruesome."

Mingya, who thought he was under the greatest pressure, glanced over and suddenly realized that he and Jinli were incredibly lucky to only have to deal with a bunch of miscellaneous cultists.

In other places, a boss that might be difficult for even thousands of players to defeat is a big boss, but here, players have to fight tooth and nail to besiege a single player and still get beaten up badly.

However, Ye Xiao's situation also seemed to be getting worse.

The koi fish standing to the side showed worry on its face. Although Ye Xiao had killed two, he had lost an arm in the process, while Encia was in relatively good condition. It seemed that things were likely to turn out badly for him...

This was also Encia's thought; she stared at the injured Ye Xiao, as if pondering something.

“Miss Encia, as a deity, you should at least be at the Saint level.”

Ye Xiao said slowly, "But the pressure you give me isn't as strong as the people under your command."

"Could it be because he doesn't quite understand how to use the power he obtained through theft?"

Encia's expression changed at first, but then she regained her composure.

“Mr. Ye, you don’t need to try to provoke me. My job is not to be good at fighting.”

"Now, everyone can see that you are at your last gasp. In accordance with my will and my hope, if you give up the fight, I will still welcome you to join me, and I will not make things difficult for your two companions."

“You are the most outstanding warrior I have ever seen. You should not die here meaninglessly. Your strength would be more valuable if used to fight those corrupt gods.”

"I was really touched by what you said."

Ye Xiao smiled, then raised her chin and shouted, "Jinli, Mingya, if you two really can't hold on, you should retreat first!"

"Don't worry about us, just crush them, Brother Ye!"

Mingya's loud voice came from the other side of the battlefield.

"Row."

Ye Xiao lowered his head and said, "I'm telling you, Miss Encia, you don't really think that was all the strength I had just used, do you?"

"A dead duck has a tough mouth."

The Dark Shepherd Elder, who was holding a long staff, was still furious after being kicked by Ye Xiao earlier. "You can't be warming up with one hand gone, can you?"

"It really is."

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and glanced at the elder, which startled the latter so much that he subconsciously took a half step back. Then he looked back at Encia and said, "Miss Encia, don't you always say that my family's god is a false god?"

"Then open your eyes wide and see for yourself what the true blessing of 'life' is."

After saying that, a scarlet magic circle suddenly appeared above Ye Xiao's head, and a bunch of black tentacles fell from above and landed on his face.

He swallowed the tentacle, and his usually calm face showed pain. At the same time, countless fine black tentacles grew from his empty left arm, weaving and solidifying into new flesh and blood.

In less than a second, a brand new left arm appeared, and the small wounds on Ye Xiao's body disappeared.

The scene of blood and flesh churning was so bizarre that it left the cult members dumbfounded.

"This is just too damn weird."

The lantern bearer's lips twitched. He probably never imagined that one day these words would come out of his own mouth: "Are those people in the Holy Temple blind to allow this monster to become a Holy Knight?"

Ye Xiao let out a soft breath, stretched his newborn left arm, and smiled slightly.

His gaze swept over the group of Dark Shepherds, and the longsword in his right hand suddenly burst into black flames, his tattered clothes fluttering gently in the breeze where magic was dissipating.

"Are you all ready? Phase Two is about to begin."

Chapter 110 The True Form of the Sea God

As Ye Xiao finished speaking, the Dark Shepherds, under Encia's command, launched a general attack on Ye Xiao.

The gleaming weapons and the dazzling spells were fired out in unison, as if they were free.

A shaman's totem summoned thunderbolts that crashed down like a meat grinder in the flood; dark green ghost fire erupted like shooting stars; and burly warriors leaped up, their blades raised high, their backs against a tsunami five or six stories high, all aimed at Ye Xiao, who was surrounded by it.

Immediately, a black flame shot into the sky, and the churning clouds from the explosion ripped open the towering dome.

The entire hall transformed into a chaotic, surging ocean, churning and swirling amidst Encia's soaring vocals.

The goddess's song of destruction echoed across the battlefield, rippling from the ground like waves surging outwards, carrying with it the aftershocks that erupted from the center of the battlefield, sweeping away the ordinary believers like a whirlwind.

Even the sturdiest and thickest exterior walls could not withstand the weight and collapsed piece by piece amidst the tremors, leaving only the supporting frame struggling to hold on.

Outside the castle, the orc citizens could see a black pillar of fire shooting into the sky from the highest tower of the city lord's mansion, while a roaring flood overflowed from the top, turning into a waterfall that cascaded down, submerging the lower levels of the castle and even washing away the surrounding streets.

This magnificent spectacle may become an unforgettable scene for the citizens of these thunderous cities.

In the main hall.

Mingya and Jinli no longer needed to care about the lower-level followers, because it was already quite difficult for them to maintain their footing amidst the ever-rising waves.

Fortunately, the koi was proficient in water magic and summoned two separate water bubbles to carry the two of them up and down in the waves, preventing them from being swept away from the crack in the outer wall and falling hundreds of meters into the air like sand.

Mingya was shocked; he could no longer describe the magnificent battle he was witnessing.

Even a deity personally intervened, and she and her high-ranking followers did everything in their power to besiege the war god-like man who was sweeping through the crowd with unparalleled might.

Ye Xiao stepped on the ice blocks he had conjured with his magic, riding the waves like a crazed athlete braving a barrage of attacks. His nimble and swift figure weaved through the swarming black-robed believers.

The fiery blade in his hand could easily tear apart the incantations covering the bodies of high-ranking believers, and once those unfortunate followers were engulfed by the black flames, even if Encia used the power of the sea god to heal them, it would be too late.

Although his swordsmanship and magic skills have not yet reached the extraordinary level, his incredible personal attributes, nurtured by countless universal points and composite professional skills, along with the various divine spells of Ella, have raised his stats to an absurd level.

In the fierce battle, the high-ranking followers of the Dark Shepherd suffered heavy casualties, with several Master-level and above corpses still burning with black flames floating on the sea.

The Grandmaster-level Elder with the staff and several newly emerging high-ranking cultists were all killed, and even the City Lord Francis and the Lantern Envoy, both extraordinary beings, were covered in wounds.

However, this is not without its limits; Ye Xiao's physical and mental strength are rapidly declining as he squanders them.

He didn't have many gold coins in his spatial ring, so even with Greedia's Greedy Gold Coins, he could only exchange for about 50% of his stamina and mana.

Therefore, after dealing with some of the high-ranking Dark Shepherd cultists, he did not spend too much time entangled with the remaining people and focused his main target on Naencia.

With more than half of his powerful subordinates already lost, even Encia couldn't withstand the pressure from Ye Xiao.

She unleashed her divine power to create wave after wave of towering waves, all in an attempt to engulf Ye Xiao. Yet, that tiny figure always managed to break free from the overwhelming tide by stepping on floating ice.

However, the waves covering the entire hall were controlled by Encia. The goddess stood on one of the waves and moved around, making it difficult for Ye Xiao to catch up with her in such chaos.

"Follower of false gods! If you continue to act so recklessly, I will no longer have any pity for your soul!!"

Encia's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as she issued a final warning.

If possible, she would always hope to bring the other party under her control, but if they still refuse to listen to advice and remain obstinate, she will no longer show mercy.

"Hahahaha, I think you should stop being obsessed with that divine power that doesn't belong to you and submit to the real Lydia!!"

As Ye Xiao weaved through the surging waves, he casually slashed at the Dark Shepherd cultists who brushed past him, and even mimicked their tone, laughing in response.

Encia's expression was solemn. Although taking this guy under her master's command was also part of her master's decision, now that things had come to this, she was afraid she could only disappoint her master.

With this thought in mind, she opened her arms and was lifted into the sky by the waves, her back against the broken dome and the desolate, deep night sky, muttering incantations.

Her long, deep blue hair was disheveled in the gale, and huge halos of light opened up behind her.

A semi-transparent phantom surrounded by a halo appeared in the night sky, its head held high, revealing itself to be a giant sea serpent.

The true deity?

Ye Xiao squinted his eyes, just as Ella was actually the incarnation of the great sun Lydia, and the original appearance of the goddess Encia was not that of the girl with long dark blue hair, but the sea serpent that was rising into the air in front of him.

Rings of light descended from the sky, encircling the entire hall. Overflowing waves swirled and rose around the edges of the rings, like a majestic water column spinning and rising from the ground, surrounded by layers of light.

All the believers were swept up in it, but were then thrown out of the circle of light by the waves, their bodies covered with bubbles, like celestial flowers falling below the tower.

Ye Xiao was the only exception; he was firmly sucked into the huge vortex formed in the center of the water column, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free.

Clearly, this towering water dungeon was prepared to strangle him alone.

"You are strong, warrior of the false god. But you are ultimately a mortal, and before the descending divine kingdom, you are nothing but an ant."

Encia's voice boomed like thunder through the clouds, its clear and resonant tone echoing throughout Thunder City.

The sea serpent, swimming in the night sky, lowered its head, staring at Ye Xiao, who was only about the size of its nose, with its huge eyes, and slowly flicked its tongue.

"I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to abandon your faith in false gods and submit to my Lord?"

"goo"

Ye Xiao was trapped in the center of a huge, all-encompassing whirlpool, with only half of his head showing. He managed to open his mouth with great difficulty.

"I've said it... several times already... my love for the Holy Maiden is unwavering..."

"...Alright, then so be it."

The snake's eyes, as large as the moon, narrowed fiercely.

"Bury your soul and body here!!!"

Chapter 111 Desperate Situation

Gods are such a shameless thing.

Completely submerged by seawater, feeling his body and soul being torn apart, Ye Xiao pondered in his mind as he was about to lose consciousness.

The authority corresponds to the laws of the present world, providing related abilities with virtually no upper limit, as well as the divine kingdom, a domain completely controlled by the other party.

Even though Ye Xiao was able to chase and beat Encia's avatar with all his might, he was immediately suppressed as soon as the divine kingdom appeared.

This thing is like opening up a separate area with rules designed by the other party, forcibly confining Ye Xiao within it, and all his abilities outside the rules are restricted.

For example, Encia's divine kingdom inherited the power of Undine, and water magic can suppress all other spells. So unless Ye Xiao's water magic is powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with Encia, he will only be unilaterally beaten here.

This is why Greta once earnestly said, "Only gods can defeat gods," because if the divine kingdom is not broken, it is almost impossible for mortals to resist it with their own strength.

However... Ye Xiao had already anticipated even Encia's move.

When this guy is forced into a corner, he'll definitely have to unleash his divine kingdom as a trump card.

Having been disgusted by this thing countless times, Ye Xiao, knowing that the other party was a god, would not possibly be completely unguarded against its existence.

According to Greta's teachings, the descending divine kingdom can actually be seen as a region temporarily carved out from the present world. Within this region, Ye Xiao, as a mortal, is indeed unable to contend with the gods within. However, after Ye Xiao dies, the moment his soul and body are in a state of annihilation, he no longer belongs to the realm that can be covered by the divine kingdom, in other words, he will not be bound by its rules.

Of course, you might ask what's the use of unlocking skills when someone is dead? Don't forget that he also has a passive skill, Death Rewind, which allows him to respawn at a new location selected before he died within a certain range.

Thanks to the numerous times he had died along the way, Ye Xiao's proficiency with this skill had made the range of rebirth options exceptionally wide, even extending beyond the coverage of that giant halo.

Therefore, when Ye Xiao dies, his rebirth will free him from the shackles of the divine kingdom, and that will be the key to his counterattack.

The only problem he needs to consider now is how to kill that guy instantly before Naencia realizes something is wrong and escapes into the divine kingdom after his rebirth.

This was Ye Xiao's original plan.

But as the water current tore and pulled him, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint fluorescent light appearing on his arm.

A pale white spider clung to the back of his hand, then raised its forelegs and suddenly stabbed at the air filled with seawater.
