“Rumble…”
At some point, the sky above Cosmos became overcast.
Dark clouds churned like a vortex, lightning flashing within, creating a low, oppressive hum.
The air grew heavy.
The earth trembled intermittently.
The increasingly intense phenomena made the people of Cosmos tremble with fear and apprehension.
Strange occurrences had already happened many times in Cosmos, and now even more bizarre things were happening, causing many citizens to break down.
If anyone looked towards the city gates, they would find that at every gate, crowds of people, carrying their families and belongings, were causing a commotion.
“Let us out!”
“We want to leave the city!”
“We’ll die if we stay here!”
“I can’t take it anymore!”
“Hurry up and let us out!”
The citizens jostled each other, trying to rush out of the city gates, shouting at the top of their lungs.
But the gates were firmly guarded by the knights of the Knight Order.
“Go back!”
“Get back!”
“By order of the Duke, Cosmos is under lockdown! No one is allowed to enter or leave!”
“If you continue to cause trouble, you will be executed on the spot!”
The knights roared, initially intimidating some people. But seeing the increasingly intense phenomena in Cosmos, the citizens were truly terrified.
Therefore, at every city gate, knights and citizens argued and shoved each other, creating a cacophony of shouts, screams, and curses.
The fortress city of Cosmos experienced its first major chaos in a thousand years. It wouldn’t be surprising if a riot broke out at any moment.
Under such circumstances, small-scale fights had already broken out in the city.
No one noticed that on top of a tall building, some distance away from the land of evil, two figures were observing everything.
They were two goddesses.
No, more accurately, it was a goddess and a demon girl.
The goddess had long hair, a tall and slender figure, and wore a solemn robe. Her face was stunningly beautiful, but her eyes were tightly closed, as if she couldn’t see anything, yet she could clearly see the situation deep within the land of evil. She looked serene and ethereal. rAnȪ฿Ěŝ
The demon girl had waist-length, straight black hair and crimson eyes. Although not as tall as the goddess, she still possessed a model-like height and figure. Coupled with her breathtaking beauty, she was a sight to behold.
Such two stunning beauties were standing here unnoticed, which was quite a pity.
However, if anyone recognized their identities, they would be shocked and unable to appreciate their beauty.
Because one of them was Anima, one of the three goddesses at the pinnacle of the Divine Race, and the other was Leisha, a former member of the Old Demon Faction, wanted by the Kingdom of Mitra for ten years.
At a certain moment, the demon girl couldn’t hold back any longer.
“Aren’t you going to intervene, Goddess Anima?”
The demon girl said with a troubled tone.
It couldn’t be helped.
“We’ve been here for several days. Initially, you were eager to resolve the situation. Why did you suddenly choose to stand by and observe in secret, ignoring the situation at the dark temple?”
That’s right.
The two of them had been in Cosmos for several days.
When Anima sensed the abnormality in the Divine Realm, she and Leisha descended to the human world and, with the help of Leisha’s spatial magic, arrived in Cosmos in a very short time.
That was also when Shien broke Lilith’s seal.
They witnessed Shien using the Holy Sword to cut open Lilith’s seal and even saw him defeat all the beastmen priests. They even saw Shien kidnap Elise, the saintess, but they didn’t intervene.
This truly puzzled Leisha.
Because, at first, she clearly saw that when Anima witnessed Shien breaking the seal, her expression turned cold for a moment, and she was about to intervene.
If the goddess had intervened at that time, even with Shien’s great abilities, it would have been impossible for him to kidnap Elise. Escaping unscathed would have been a good outcome.
However, in the end, Anima restrained herself and chose to stand by.
And she had been standing by until now.
No, Anima did do something.
For example, when the Old Demon Faction started to break the seal, releasing the evil aura and the evil beings, Anima warned Elise, her saintess, through revelation, allowing her to sense the situation at the dark temple.
In other words, the reason Elise ran out of the inn and became increasingly anxious was because Anima was giving her revelations, letting her sense the situation there.
And after Elise entered the land of evil, the reason she was able to avoid so many evil beings along the way was also because Anima guided her during her prayers.
