The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Ella said dismissively.

"Though you have gained authority, you were born as a human being, a mark that is eternal and humble, making you unworthy to understand the magnificent perspective of us gods."

"ridiculous."

Ella waved her hand and summoned several streaks of light. "If greatness means merely surviving, then my humility at least lets me know that I have everything worth protecting with all my might, instead of betraying my homeland and begging for the enemy's pity."

"Further discussion is pointless,"

Behind Adam, seven pairs of wings formed from the starry sky spread majestically, "Let me show you the difference between you and us, and you will understand your own insignificance."

As his words fell, the heavens and earth trembled, and the clouds that stretched for thousands of miles were swept away, revealing the boundless and profound universe.

The stars in the sky alternated between light and darkness, and the gods and humans who had protected this world tens of thousands of years ago finally revealed their sinister fangs.

The stars transformed into a destructive aurora, cascading down as if the vast cosmos were turned upside down.

Gaia unleashed a fierce roar that pierced through the ages, and mountains stretching for thousands of miles rose from the ground at her thought.

The earth's crust was torn apart, and roaring, surging lava and glaciers formed countless towering, all-powerful Titans that charged toward Aila.

The girl closed her eyes slightly, held the few streams of light in her palms, and with both hands she drew a long sword of holy light out of thin air.

The six wings behind her spread out majestically, bursting forth with golden light that enveloped her, forming a massive spherical barrier that stood between heaven and earth.

The torrent of stars and the bombardment of the Earth Titans struck the barrier without shaking it in the slightest, even though the aftershocks stirred up a storm across the entire wilderness.

Immediately afterwards, like a supernova suddenly erupting, the light sphere barrier burst forth with dazzling light.

The world was painted in a dazzling white, and the gathering meteors and Titans were instantly shattered by the holy light.

Ella and Ye Xiao, who emerged from the chaos, each wielding a blade of holy light, charged towards the sky and the ground respectively.

The golden light spreading from both ends seemed to cleave the line between heaven and earth. Ye Xiao's agile figure, protected by the holy light, dodged countless towering rock pillars as he swooped down, spun around and cleaved the surrounding Titans in two with a few strikes, disappearing into the furiously roaring maw of Mother Earth in an instant, like a shooting star.

Ayla spread her six wings and traversed the reversed star sea in the air, her two light blades carrying a sky-splitting strike to meet Adam's arms...

No, at this moment, the strange god-man has grown six arms, each holding an ancient longsword engraved with bronze patterns.

Ancient myths, lost in the long river of time, record that the gods and humans who first arrived on earth used these six swords to pave the historical monument of primordial civilization.

A pair of names, the Oath of First Arrival and the Omen of Death, symbolize the abundance of new life and the end of death; the sword mark marks the place where the sparks of stars fall.

A pair of names, the Trace of Time and the Key to Return to the Void, are like a sundial representing the years of a person, with the sword's edge etching the moon river from childhood to old age, governing the rules of birth, aging, sickness and death;

The last pair is named the Chapter of Judgment and the Eternal Eclipse, which interpret judgment and punishment, and the Radiant Light interprets the primordial law and the heavenly tribulation.

The laws contained within the six swords cleaved through space, clashing with the light blade in Ella's hand and creating a devastating aftershock that shook the heavens and earth.

The ripples spreading from the Timeless Rift eroded the golden light clinging to the girl's body, causing her fair skin to age rapidly, much like the branches of an ancient tree.

Ella's heart skipped a beat as she was parried several meters away by the heavy blade. The stars summoned by the omen of death immediately spun and converged into a relentless meteor storm, swirling and crashing towards the girl.

"Even if you possess the authority of light, as a human being, you can only crudely invoke the holy light, but you will never be able to fathom the laws contained within it."

Adam's arrogant voice echoed in the air as countless meteorites bombarded the tiny figure falling from the sky.

"This is the pitiful barrier between you and me. Even if you take power, you are nothing more than an imitator of His will."

"At this level, not to mention Chaos, you can't even surpass me."

On the earth, Ella plunged into scorching lava and churning glaciers, while Ye Xiao's figure vanished completely amidst the roar of Mother Earth.

The two seemed to be like fleeting moments of light, only appearing briefly.

"Ha, is that all there is to it?"

Adam put down his bronze sword and was about to turn and leave when a girl's soft laughter suddenly came from beneath him.

"Hey, you've reminded me."

"No wonder the Law of Light is being used so poorly."

"boom--"

Adam suddenly opened his eyes wide, only to hear a loud bang, and a white flower bud bloomed majestically on the lava-covered earth.

No... that's not a flower bud...

It was actually formed from holy light...

Tentacles!!! ???

Adam had never seen anything so bizarre in his life. Huge tentacles, radiating divine light, rose from the ground, tearing apart mountains and earth, and soaring into the sky amidst Gaia's endless wails.

The silver-haired girl was surrounded by flowing white light, and the three pairs of wings behind her transformed into golden tentacles. Half of her body merged with the alluring tentacle buds. She spread her hands and smiled gently as she looked at Adam, who stood there dumbfounded by this bizarre scene.

A mixture of gloom and holiness, along with murderous intent carried by the warm spring breeze, ravaged the land.

"Hahaha, I don't know why, but I'm more used to it this way."

No, what the hell is this thing??

Adam's six hands went numb; he simply couldn't imagine that there could be something in this world that could be described as both sacred and blasphemous at the same time.

That is the most supreme holy light law in this world, the symbol of the new divine order. How could it have become like this in this guy's hands?

"No, that's not right. By the Void, it seems I was wrong before. You are not human at all..."

Adam seemed to suddenly see something clearly, his lips twitched, and he held the six swords horizontally in front of his chest.

"You even imitate humans?! You're just a monster born from humans!"

Chapter 260 Empty Shell

"What are you muttering about? It's just a different way of saying it."

Ignoring Adam's incessant chatter, Ella casually flicked her wrist, and countless pale tentacles, imbued with a divine aura, surged towards the sky.

However, when she first received the Scepter of Light, she was indeed a little confused about how to use it. It seemed that no matter how she used it, it only shaped light and emitted a bigger and brighter light.

To put it simply, it's the ultimate, amplified version of the basic Holy Light spells she learned in the sanctuary classroom.

Theoretically, it shouldn't be like this. This is the most powerful law in the world, a law that can suppress all evil and seal off the divine level all by itself.

But Ella really didn't understand how to use it. The God of Light left so casually without leaving any instructions or anything. With time running out, she could only figure it out on her own.

As a result, a casual remark Adam made after he knocked her away seemed to suddenly make her realize something.

Although she wasn't quite sure what she had specifically comprehended, she tried to activate the holy light by following the same method she used to manipulate the tentacles and black mud, and inexplicably felt a greater sense of clarity.

Ella didn't quite understand, but she gradually had the illusion that her soul was merging with the Holy Light... or rather, spreading into the Holy Light.

In short, the divine power that could only be rigidly driven by spells has now suddenly become somewhat easier to use.

However, driving the Holy Light in this way seems to have caused some subtle changes in the laws of the Holy Light.

But Ella didn't have time to examine this insignificant change right now; she needed to shoot down that thing flying around in the sky first.

……

On the other side, Ye Xiao also moved nimbly in the Earth's core, his long blade, imbued with holy light, cleaving through the converging layers of rock.

The tiny tendrils beneath the Holy Light Flower buds spread into the earth like roots, stirring up the rock layers and causing the soil, which had intersected with Gaia's divine power, to crumble as if its nerves were being pulled.

A sense of oppression enveloped the unfathomable depths of the earth; neither the crimson lava nor the surging glaciers could stop his descent.

Just as Ellashi was adept at condensing holy light into tendrils, Ye Xiao was only truly adept at cutting through all obstacles by wielding his blade.

But he no longer knows whether he can comprehend the laws of slashing again.

The Dream God said that the understanding of the slash was originally Ye Xiaotongtian's divine skill, but he is now just a remnant soul that has not experienced countless reincarnations. Even though he has now ascended to the Saint rank, the capital that allows him to rival the true god Gaia still comes from the holy light protection bestowed by Ella.

In any case, killing Gaia should be enough.

With a single slash, Ye Xiao cleaved the rocky crust hidden deep beneath the earth's surface into six pieces amidst the holy light, revealing the deep red, dazzling geothermal core within.

Gaia, the earth god who broke the seal, had his hideous face highlighted on the molten lava flowing around the core, his empty eyes staring at the uninvited guest above.

"Arrogant puppet, you are no longer the person you were back then. You still want to imitate him and turn the tide? How laughable!"

"The lackeys crawling at the feet of chaos are still barking, but I find your gag mouth even more amusing."

Ye Xiao retorted without holding back.

"At least I still have a free will, while you are just an empty shell!"

"Betraying yourself, killing your homeland with your bare hands—you, a lump of stinking mud, dare to call yourself free?"

It's obvious that Ye Xiao and Gaia don't think much of each other.

Thus, fighting became the only form of communication, with the cascading blades and roaring lava colliding violently underground.

The shockwaves stretched for thousands of miles, and the divine power that surged forth almost tore the entire continent apart from the ground.

Gaia is the mother of the earth. It is said that she was born as the earliest ancient god in the world at the beginning of time.

In ancient mythology, all the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas in the world originated from the convergence of ice and fire that she controlled. Therefore, the underground streams she commanded could melt and refine all things in the world.

Even the most powerful holy light paled in comparison to the molten lava tsunami deep underground. Unable to reach the earth's core by Ella's pale tentacles, Ye Xiao could only rely on his accumulated agility and swordsmanship to force his way through the thousands of rocky cliffs.

"Empty shell! Why do you think I've survived until now? Even the God of Light himself wouldn't dare challenge my authority underground!"

"This entire earth is my divine kingdom. What are you, daring to be so arrogant as to challenge Mother Earth at the heart of the earth?!"

The enormous face formed from thermonuclear energy roared with earth-shattering fury, and countless arms condensed from the vast glacier and lava spiral, slamming Ye Xiao, who was trying to approach downwards, into the solid earth's crust from all directions.

It was as if layers of earth waves were surging around the crater created by a meteorite impact, the aftershocks of countless hands of the earth striking one after another, unleashing a force powerful enough to shatter the continent.

"whispering sound."

Ye Xiao curled his lip and used the blade imbued with holy light to desperately slice through the incoming rock fist.

The boundless power of the earth's veins transformed into a fist that pressed him firmly to the bottom of the pit. The biting cold and the high temperature of the lava seeped into his cracked skin, ravaging his muscles and bones.

He felt as if he were simultaneously in a giant furnace and at the bottom of a bottomless ice abyss, the divine power of the fusion of ice and fire threatening to tear his soul apart.

"A mere empty shell!"

"Remnant soul!"

"It's nothing more than a reflection of a personality born from longing!"

"You can't master his skills!"

"Without Ella Haviere, you are nothing!"

"You will be buried here, and you will never reach his realm!"

Gaia's words echoed in his ears, and his arms, gripping the blade, felt as heavy as lead after being battered and bruised.

The barrier, radiating intense heat, slammed into Ye Xiao. Indeed, without Ella's protection with holy light, he might have already perished here.

He doesn't even seem to have the qualifications to get here. He just entered the Saint Rank by sheer luck. What makes him think he can look at the true god who once ruled the earth?

Why?

Ye Xiao's brain was buzzing from the heavy blow.

The world seemed to quiet down, and in a daze, he seemed to see the phantom of the baby holding the head again.

The body that had committed suicide stood amidst the desolate earth, silently swept by the bleak winds and sand.

So, was everything I did in the past in vain?

Lava and glaciers poured Ye Xiao's battered body into the sinkhole.

So... are all my loved ones, my beliefs, and everything I've pursued a lie?

Greta, Skadi, Samael...

They don't love me; they only love the ethereal reflection projected from my fragmented soul.

Just like now, even if I am killed by Gaia, I will eventually be able to reappear from Ella's body.

Anyway, Ella, who is also his own, is the key. It doesn't matter if he can't beat her. She is just a remnant soul. It's normal that she can't do what the real Ella can do.

"No way, I'll die if I leave Ella."

In the darkness, Ye Xiao seemed to hear the joke he had made before, like a boomerang across time, striking his heart once again.

"...Your problem is that you don't have a problem."

But then, another gentle voice rang out.

It seemed to be Ysera, the goddess who was as soft as a cloud back then, whispering in his ear again.
