The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Ye Xiao gently stroked the girl's soft, beautiful blonde hair.

"But just like a regular task, won't it get annoying after a while?"

"Hey, how could dating a pretty girl be boring... But I have to admit, it's really just a drop in the ocean for you."

Ye Xiao scratched his head and exchanged a glance with Ella across the table.

"But once this turbulent period is over and everything is settled, I'll come back to Loren, and we'll all settle down in the palace and rely on you to take care of us in our old age, how about that?"

"real or fake."

Skadi pouted, "Don't you dare elope with that wicked woman and disappear. Look at her sly smile, it makes me uneasy."

"No, you have to have some faith in me, okay?"

Ye Xiao knew that even if he said that, Skadi would still find it difficult to completely eliminate her worries.

Fortunately, there was Ella's portal, which allowed him to easily see the girl every few days, so distance was not a problem.

Otherwise, with several female companions around their partner, it's possible that they might not see each other for several years once they leave the country. This situation would be difficult to handle even on Earth, let alone in this alien world where communication is underdeveloped.

"Well, it would be nice if we could at least live together."

Skadi muttered, "I miss the days when I would wake you up every morning back at the academy."

"Uh-huh?"

As Ye Xiao listened to Skadi's words, a sudden inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Oh right, how come I didn't think of that?"

In the past, when Ella could only open one portal at a time, it would have been incredibly troublesome to gather everyone together and then have them go back to their own places each day. Ella would have had to stand there like a security guard, constantly opening and closing the portals.

But now that Ella has a divine kingdom, her abilities can be projected and grafted out through the kingdom, allowing her followers to also gain the ability to pray to her to open portals through learning and training.

In other words, if he just finds a fixed place as a base and finds a few believers on each side to be responsible for opening and closing the space gate, does that mean he can establish an airdrop base that can reach all parts of the world at any time?

Although it is quite difficult for a person to learn the divine art of opening spatial portals, it is not like Ella who can replicate it by touching divine authority. Unless knowledge is forcibly instilled and the person is corrupted into a puppet familiar specifically for opening spatial portals.

But Ella can transform inanimate objects like stones and walls into believers with souls... So since it's used as a portal, wouldn't it be better for her to just turn the portals into familiars?

Skadi's unintentional act of coquetry sparked Ye Xiao's inspiration once again.

It just so happens that Ella won't be able to reach the Holy City for a few more days, and since we're just killing time anyway, why not try to make this somewhat far-fetched plan a reality?

The assassination of Prince Aslan had already demonstrated how terrifying the application of spatial gates to strategic operations could be. Now, if he could truly build an operational organization that could travel to any part of the world at any time, Ye Xiaoguang was already quite excited just thinking about it.

However, it was still uncertain whether this would work. After all, Ella had never tried to convert a door into a believer to create a fixed space door before, so Ye Xiao did not make any promises to Skadi. He simply smiled and kissed the girl's forehead.

"Let me think about it. Maybe it really will work in the future."

"Hmph, just making empty promises again."

Men's words are deceitful. Skadi said this just to get more comfort from Ye Xiao. She didn't expect that Ye Xiao had actually taken this matter to heart.

……

The brief dinner party ended quickly, and Skadi had to get back to dealing with the ever-piling administrative duties.

Ye Xiao then took Greta and Susie back to Aslan, leaving only Ella behind. She used the spatial portal to travel over the imperial city, searching for a suitable location to establish a base.

The imperial city was brightly lit under the night sky, but Ella, using her wind magic to fly through the air and look down at the city, always thought that this city might not be a suitable place to establish a base.

Firstly, the street block plans are already fixed, and the things I want to build will definitely take up a lot of space, so it's not good to force them in.

Secondly, as a base for a religious sect, it might be better to be more discreet.

Therefore, Ella immediately turned her attention to the suburbs.

She flew high in the sky against the evening breeze, looking along the southern part of Vallond, and finally chose Lyra Peak, the place that was once the tomb of the god of life.

This large basin, nestled among towering mountains, boasts excellent terrain and perfect concealment.

With the existence of the portal, Ella had no requirements whatsoever regarding transportation to the base camp.

The basin is now a desolate wasteland. Ella quietly descended from the sky, placed her palm on the ground, and with a soft breath, four enormous tentacles shot up into the sky like pillars around the edge of the basin.

Like branches extending from a tree trunk, countless tiny tentacles grew from their bodies, connecting with each other and quickly weaving together to form four dense, wriggling walls of tentacles.

"It looks a bit disgusting."

Looking at the rudimentary tentacled building she had constructed, Ella thought it was rather unappealing to live in; an average believer would probably go insane after just one night.

"Could we put some stones on top to cover it up?"

She flicked her fingers a few more times, and black silt gushed out from the ground. This silt rolled up the underground soil and rock, layering it up from the bottom to the top to form a building made of tentacles.

Before long, a tall building with walls made of a mixture of black, gray and yellow rose from the ground.

"The tentacles are no longer visible, but this color is just... indescribable..."

Ella is like a novice player who has just started playing a sandbox building game, constantly fiddling with her several divine powers in an attempt to build a beautiful building.

In the past, these abilities were great for destroying enemies, but now they're a bit of a pain to use for construction.

Adjust the color of the sand, layer it, create partitions, and correct any skewed shapes...

Just like playing with clay, she spent almost half the night doing this, and Ella didn't even realize how fast time had passed.

But when Ella saw the crooked, gray building that finally looked somewhat decent, she was still a little proud of her masterpiece.

"Oh no, I was so focused on building the house that I forgot to test whether the fixed space door would work."

If she fails to transform the door into a familiar that creates a fixed spatial portal, then all her efforts in building the building will have been wasted.

Ella walked into the dark first floor of the building, randomly selected a door frame, separated it from the rest of the building, created a separate life from it, and connected it to the Kingdom of God to become a believer.

She then forcibly instilled her ability to manipulate spatial gates into the gate. Because the knowledge contained within it far exceeded what this simple soul could bear, it collapsed instantly, and tiny tentacles and deep red eyes grew uncontrollably all over its body.

But it was just a door after all, and even a crazy door is still a door. The next second, invisible ripples emerged from the door.

Ella took a deep breath and went inside, where she was greeted by the familiar sight of the Loren Dungeon.

Become!

Ella was somewhat excited; things seemed simpler than he had imagined. He quickly retreated back into the rift, preparing to create a second fixed spatial portal.

Unexpectedly, when she stepped back, the scene that appeared before her eyes was not the interior of that gray building, but a snow-covered mountain peak.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Gaps in the Northern Border

huh?

Ella stared blankly at the vast expanse of white before her.

Where did this message go?

The mad door is indeed unreliable; we still need to find a way to stabilize the simple soul we've created.

Fortunately, no matter where in the world this is, for Ella it's just a matter of opening another door and going back.

Despite the darkness of night, the Milky Way, formed by countless stars, shone brightly, making everything in sight surprisingly clear on the snow-covered plain.

This also made Ella notice a group of restless black dots on the snow slope not far away, seemingly chasing something.

Despite wearing only a thin long dress in the biting wind, Ella's current physique easily withstood the cold, and she didn't even need to release her magic to resist the low temperature.

She strolled leisurely across the vast snowfield; if an ordinary person saw her, they would probably mistake her for some kind of snow ghost.

The group of black dots heading in her direction quickly approached, and turned out to be several giant beasts that looked like gorillas, but were much taller and stronger than ordinary gorillas.

Their bodies were covered in dark brown down, and their gray faces had a pair of fierce eyes that gleamed white. Their long, thick arms were spread out on the ground, rumbling like several low hills, chasing after the two tiny humans who were fleeing in front of them.

The two humans were wearing thick fur coats, and their attire suggested they came from a caravan.

Covered in snowflakes, they seemed exhausted from their escape, stumbling through the thick snow, knowing they would soon be overtaken by the giant beast behind them.

"God... save me..."

Like a dying cry, the middle-aged man leading the group, clutching a large bundle, and another companion who could no longer run collapsed in the snow.

The earth trembled, and the monsters behind them were already upon them, casting a huge shadow over their despairing faces.

And then... and then there was no more.

A crimson bolt of lightning descended from the sky and pierced straight through the giant beast's body. Almost instantly, its foul-smelling flesh and blood scattered and broke apart like fireworks exploding.

"Wow, this scene is so appetizing."

Ella thought that at most, conjuring a divine lightning bolt would just scorch the opponent, but she didn't expect it to explode directly, splattering everywhere.

It seems that this divine spell, which is a replica of the Sky God, is much more powerful than she imagined. She should use it with caution in situations such as sparring.

Suddenly, a thunderclap struck from the ground, startling the previously menacing giant beasts. When their gazes fell upon the white-clad girl slowly walking towards them, they seemed to have seen something terrifying. They paused for a moment, then scattered and fled in all directions.

Ella naturally didn't chase after them, but instead walked closer to the two men on the ground.

"Oh my god...is it my imagination...?"

The man, half-lying on the ground and barely alive, uttered incoherent words, "I think I really saw a god... a beautiful young woman..."

"That was probably a hallucination... or we're probably already dead..."

His companion buried his face in the snow, not struggling, just lying there muttering to himself, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

Ella found the two of them inexplicably amusing. She snapped her fingers, and dark tentacles burst open from all directions, forming high walls like flower petals to block the wind and snow, enveloping them within.

Then she used her fingertips to create a spatial rift, from which several dry branches fell out of thin air and piled up on the ground.

She then took out a short staff, tapped it in the air, and a roaring fire broke out on the pile of branches.

Thanks to Ye Xiao's diligent practice of mage skills, Ella, who shares the same class as Ye Xiao, is also a master-level elemental mage.

But what's abstract is that her magical talent is even inferior to Ye Xiao's. Apart from water and holy light, her affinity for other magical attributes is extremely low.

Therefore, although she can use powerful divine spells with ease, she still needs to use her staff to cast ordinary spells such as lighting a simple fire, which also consumes some of her mental energy.

The firelight flickered in the dim space temporarily shrouded by the tentacles, and a warm feeling quickly filled the bodies of the two people on the ground.

"Oh, I feel warming up..."

"That's right, these are signs of freezing to death..."

"Gentlemen, could you please sit up and talk instead of lying on the ground?"

Ella's lips twitched.

"Ah, what a beautiful sound..."

"I hope I can marry a wife with a voice like that in my next life. Just listening to her talk is a pleasure..."

"Why can you hear my hallucinations too?..."

"What? You're about to die, and you still won't share your hallucinations with your brother?"

Ella couldn't hold back any longer. She waved her hand, and two tentacles rolled the two guys up from the ground. Then, another tentacle grew out and slapped one of them in the face.

The burning pain finally brought the two men back to their senses. They stared at Ella for a long time, then haphazardly rubbed their faces with their hands.

"...I'm not dead? I'm still alive!!?!"

After excitedly pinching his face, the man seemed to suddenly realize he had been somewhat rude and quickly kowtowed to the silver-haired, red-eyed girl in front of him, thanking her profusely, "Did you save us?! We are so grateful! So grateful!!"

"I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before..."

The other companion wiped the snowflakes off his face and looked at Ella's appearance, finding her increasingly familiar.

"What the heck??? This isn't the forum..."

His eyes widened, and his voice stammered, as if he could hardly believe it.

"Ahem, without further ado, I just want to ask you two where this place is, and what that strange monster outside was."

Since they met by the roadside, Ella naturally wouldn't leave someone to die. However, she could have left some supplies and left directly, but those strange-looking monsters just now really piqued her curiosity.

She seemed to have a vague impression of that monster, but couldn't quite recall where she had seen it. She only vaguely remembered that the thing gave her a bad feeling, which was why she came to ask the two of them.

"This...where is this?"

The man repeated Ella's question, "Well, we got separated from our companions, so we can't pinpoint our exact location, but we should be somewhere near the Sakatos Valley..."

"Are there any higher-level place names? I mean, this entire large area, for example, roughly in some direction of the Asia-Pacific continent?"

Ella knew her problem was easily misunderstood, after all, her getting lost was rather unusual.

It's like randomly grabbing someone on the street and asking them which country they're in; it always leaves the listener feeling a bit strangely confused.
