The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Samael, the legion commander of the demon army currently ravaging Aslan and also the demon god who wields the power of "Wrath," had previously spoken privately with Su Xiyun, who was posing as Ye Xiao's wife, hoping that she could win Ye Xiao over to the company's camp.

In order to find out what exactly was going on with this Samael, Susie Yun did not refuse outright, but left her contact information to talk later.

Nearly two months later, the second contact finally occurred.

However, the timing was too coincidental. In the Western Frontier, there were only two days left before the major battle. The Duchy's army made no secret of the date of their general offensive and had already assembled and were eager to fight. Ye Xiao was even a little conflicted about whether to ask Su Xiyun to postpone their meeting.

However, if they postponed it, they might arouse suspicion on the other side. After much deliberation, Ye Xiao and Ella still traveled to the imperial city through the spatial gate and met with Su Xiyun.

Although they were discussing serious matters, since it was a rare opportunity to get together, Ye Xiao simply brought Greta and Skadi along as well, treating it as a small family gathering.

Chapter Forty Family Gathering

Lorenwald, Lyra Peak.

After a period of construction, Ella's temple has become even more magnificent.

Within the vast basin, Gothic spires surround the towering mountains, while a colossal spherical building stands atop the central palace, gleaming like a sun rising from the valley floor.

Inside the palace, Ella was discussing Samael's invitation with Skadi, Greta, and others.

She told Skadi and Greta about her existence in time travel, and even about how she and Ye Xiao still retained some memories of their previous lives.

Su Xiyun already knew all this, so there was really no need to deliberately keep it from her two concubines and cause a miscommunication.

"Huh!? So you two were actually together in your past life!?"

But after everything was explained, this was what shocked Greta the most.

"What do you mean by getting together... In our past life, we were enemies, enemies, okay?"

Ye Xiao's lips twitched.

However, he already anticipated that after he finished speaking, he would inevitably be subjected to a beating from Greta.

Given the little guy's status as an ancient demon god, Ye Xiao knew that his explanation of Susie Yun's conversation with Samael would definitely arouse her suspicion. However, she was still his concubine, and keeping such a thing from her, which would be discovered sooner or later, would not be conducive to the harmony of the family relationship.

Of course, this is only one aspect. On the other hand, the main hope is that Greta can also uncover something from the perspective of the demon god. Of course, this refers to company-related matters, not Ella's other little secrets.

"You two were fighting to the death in your previous life, so how did you end up together in this one?"

Greta stroked her chin, her large eyes scanning back and forth between Ye Xiao and Ella's faces.

"After all, I didn't retain many memories; it was like a dream."

Ye Xiao began to change the subject, "Oh dear, we've gone off on a tangent. Let's get back to Samael. She's supposedly the Demon God of Wrath. Greta, what do you know about her?"

"Hmm, this Samael shouldn't be the wrathful demon I know."

After listening to Susie Yun's account of the whole story, Greta shook her head and said, "But Ye Xiao, you really are something else. You go to heaven and earth and don't let any woman go."

Ye Xiao pouted at Greta's cheek, looking rather helpless, "What you're saying is confusing me too, okay? I really don't have much memory of the other person."

"Is...time travel...something like that really possible?"

After listening for a while, Skadi, who was standing next to her, tremblingly expressed her doubts.

The conversation was clearly beyond her understanding of the world.

She had just finished studying day and night the required courses for becoming an empress and the basics of human magic, but these guys immediately started talking about gods, time and space, and world reversal, and she couldn't understand a single word.

This made her feel like she and her other sisters were from a completely different world.

"To the best of my knowledge, there are indeed people within the company who specialize in studying pre-retrospective signs,"

Ye Xiao explained to Skadi, "Some things, under the influence of various forces, have not been able to completely rewind and still retain their state before the rewind. This is both evidence to prove the existence of 'rewind' and an exploration of the residual information of the world before the rewind."

"Moreover, I didn't even sense this regression, which is really strange."

Greta stroked her chin, looking at the silver-haired girl sitting to the side, sipping tea, with a suspicious gaze. "Sister Ella, so you didn't sense anything either?"

"Of course not."

Ella's eyes darted around, and she gave the little maid a sly smile. "Although I don't know why I do have a little bit of memory, I don't remember exactly what happened before the flashback."

"Hmph, is that so?"

Greta's wide, bell-like eyes reflected Ella's guilty smile, making her even more suspicious of the other woman.

Seeing that Greta was eyeing Ella again, Ye Xiao quickly spoke up to divert Greta's attention away from Ella.

“Gredia, I remember you said before that the gods walking in the mortal world are actually just avatars, and that their true selves should be located in the void. But since even you are unaware of it, could this time reversal possibly reset the entire void?”

"This is what surprised me the most. The void can be described as an infinitely large chaotic space. Our entire world is smaller than a speck of dust in the face of the void."

Gretia spreads her arms, trying to depict the vastness of the void, but she looks more like a little girl asking for a hug.

"The void cannot be affected, so I speculate that it is the retrospective effect of the laws of the present world that has affected us gods who were born here."

“Sister Keira is the offspring of the God of Life, and we now know that the God of Life and the God of Light were once one, and that the God of Life was an outer god, not a god born from the present world. Logically, she should not be affected.”

As she spoke, Greta glanced at Ella with her big eyes.

Well, it's back to haunting me again. Ella felt quite helpless.

"Hmm, perhaps it's because the God of Light integrated his laws into the mortal realm, which caused me to be affected?"

"Well, let's just assume that's a possibility."

Greta twitched her delicate, pink nose. "But you said that Samael also said that the culprit who triggered the time reversal was none other than Sister Ella. But if you can't even fully retain your own memories, what's the point of deliberately triggering a time reversal?"

"Well, we can't take everything they say as gospel. After all, I think Ella is still kind."

Ye Xiao raised his hand and said.

"You just confessed that you actually retained some memories, so you weren't very friendly to Ella before, but you've changed your mind very quickly now."

Greta grinned, revealing her sharp little fangs. "I'm starting to wonder again how you two met, Ella. You didn't actually drug this guy, did you?"

"I noticed that Ye Xiao is quite mischievous when he's around the rest of us, but he's so obedient to you."

"How could it be?"

Ella affectionately hugged the little maid and smoothed the spiky hair on her head. "Think about it, if I could control him, how could he have so many girlfriends?"

Greta, who was being held in Ella's arms like a doll, frowned, thought for a moment, and then nodded gently, "Well, that makes some sense."

Chapter 41 Greta's View

After some back and forth, thankfully Greta was quite simple-minded, and Ella managed to get away with it.

As for Skadi and Miss Sue, the former was not very bright to begin with, while the latter was more considerate, so neither of them continued to dwell on the issue.

The group then shifted their focus back to their meeting with Samael.

“Speaking of ‘anger,’ I haven’t been back to hell for a while now, and I never imagined that such a big change had happened there.”

Greta crossed her arms. "I think I should go back and check if the company or the Dark Shepherds are making any other moves there, so I can detect them in advance."

"Um, how about we go together after the fighting in the Western Frontier is over?"

Ye Xiao was a little uneasy. After all, even the former Angry Demon God had been replaced, and he was really worried that something might happen to the little guy after he went back.

"I'm glad you care, but how can a human go to hell?"

Greta waved her hand. "It's alright. I'll go check it out and come right back. After all, I'm not of any use in Ella and Miss Su meeting with Samael. If Samael really has the strength of a demon god, even if I go in cat form, he'll see through me."

"Then let's wait for Ella to come back, and let Ella be with you."

Ye Xiao gently stroked Greta's head, "The situation is too complicated right now. Even the known main gods like Undine and Terradom are struggling to protect themselves. I'm really worried about you not being in the mortal realm."

Greta's small face flushed slightly. Although she was strong-willed, as a demon god, this was indeed the first time she had ever been cared for so much, especially by the person she loved.

This touched her heart, but she remained as arrogant as ever, saying, "Alright, then for the sake of your fragile human heart, I'll stay with you in the mortal world for a while longer."

"I want to stay with them too! I want to stay with them too!"

Skadi, seeing the two of them being so lovey-dovey, felt like an outsider and pouted in dissatisfaction.

"I'll accompany them all, okay?"

Ye Xiao could only coax her helplessly, and at the same time opened his arms to hug Miss Su next to him as well.

Su Xiyun watched this scene and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

After calming everyone down, Ye Xiao pondered for a moment and decided to subtly probe into another matter he wanted to understand.

"By the way, Greta, speaking of which, both the company and the Dark Shepherds have been talking about the God of Light being corrupted by madness, and this also involves a god known as the God of Chaos... Have you heard anything about this god?"

Judging from the attitude of the company and the Dark Shepherd towards Ella, it is not difficult to see that they probably know something about the black sun floating in the void. However, Ye Xiao has never asked Greta's opinion on this matter, so he simply took this opportunity to ask her in detail.

"The God of Chaos... Hmm, I've only heard of this title. Some say that He is actually lurking in the void outside the present world, watching over this world."

Greta raised her head slightly in thought, “But the void is not a simple space, but a chaotic superposition of countless spaces. Therefore, even though I am in the void, I have never truly seen this god of chaos, and I have never heard of any god who has seen him with his own eyes.”

"But I don't want to see it either, after all, that God of Light proved the existence of this matter with his own life."

In other words, in Greta's eyes, Ella and the God of Chaos are not the same thing.

Ye Xiao seemed to be deep in thought. He vaguely recalled that when Lydia broke into the temple of "Rhea," who was impersonating the goddess of the earth, the other party seemed quite surprised. In other words, that person's understanding of Ella was probably similar to that of Greta in some way.

But something still feels off because during the Fog City War, Alex from the company clearly stated that Ayra was the "God of Chaos," the culprit...

Could it be that they have different understandings of this kind of intelligence?

"Hey, doesn't it scare you to know that such a dangerous god exists in the void?"

Just then, Skadi spoke up in confusion, "The way you're saying things makes me feel like the world is going to end."

"Don't worry, everyone's doing fine now. Besides, if we really die, where can we go?"

Greta, on the other hand, took it all in stride. "Anyway, even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up... Oh, the tallest one seems to have already been crushed to death."

"Sister Cat, your words of comfort are really hard to reassure me."

Skadi stuck out her tongue.

Greta's words ultimately didn't provide Ella with much useful information, but it was good that everyone had a rare moment to get together and chat during these turbulent times.

Afterwards, the group discussed their plans to meet with Samael. Afterwards, Ella opened a portal to send Skadi back to the palace, while Greta accompanied Ye Xiao to the western front to continue observing the battle situation there.

Finally, only Susie Yun and Ella remained. Ella changed into a simple set of clothes, found a black cloak to drape over herself, put on a fox head mask, and once again disguised herself as Susie Yun's guard.

In terms of appearance, the last time was when Ella used the Ring of All Things to temporarily impersonate a student at the Aslan Cliff Academy.

Because Ella had considered that she would likely need the other person's appearance again in the future, she deliberately left one of the three appearance slots on the Myriad Rings untouched. Therefore, Ella transformed into the student's appearance again this time, so as not to arouse Samael's suspicion that a different guard had been assigned to her.

Ella was quite thoughtful, and then she and Susie Yun went to the agreed meeting place in the southern district of the imperial city.

Anstan Avenue, the place where this story began. After a long time away, Ella returned here and found the surrounding buildings somewhat familiar.

As a bustling street, it remains a place where people come and go, and traffic flows freely.

The war in the western frontier did not seem to have much impact on the lives of the residents of the imperial city on the surface, but walking on the street, one could see that the prices in the shops had increased.

Fortunately, the Church of Loren has been distributing free food in the neighborhoods, and the palace has funded the construction of relief centers, so we no longer see the same emaciated children begging along the way as before.

In a small tavern, Ella and Susie waited at the table for a while before the familiar Dark Shepherd, Kronos, appeared at the door with curly hair and a listless look in his eyes.

Even in the heart of the Loren Imperial City, Ella's territory, this guy can come and go as freely as if he were in his own living room.

"Good afternoon, it seems we'll have to trouble you to pick us up again, Mr. Kronos."

Susie Yun greeted Kronos politely.

"Hello, Miss Su. Sigh, there's nothing I can do. That woman really knows how to boss people around."

Kronos rubbed his hair, his tone still as dejected as before.

"let's go."

Susie nodded and was about to get up from the table with Ella when Kronos suddenly reached out to stop them.

"I'm sorry, Miss Su, she instructed me to only take you with me this time."

Chapter 42 The Substitute Goes to the Appointment

"Ok?"

Susie Yun paused slightly as she stood up. "But I remember it was agreed before that I was allowed to bring guards with me."

"Sigh, that's what that woman demands. She's like a fickle person, changing her mind constantly, one minute saying one thing and the next saying another."
