Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
“You are indeed very powerful, but your selfishness will ultimately bring destruction to Cain.”
“You don’t understand the power of the Old Ones at all.”
The Bishop of the Time Holy See stared at Xi Wei, scolding him in anger.
“If a world must be saved by innocent girls, then that world is bound to be destroyed sooner or later.”
“As for the Old Ones? I will face them. I have my own beliefs.”
After speaking, Xi Wei ignored the agitated Bishop and turned to leave, holding Ruo Yi’s hand.
He had not killed the Bishop and Priest of the Time Holy See.
Ruo Yi would most likely become the Goddess of Time in the future.
At that time, these people would all be her loyal followers. Moreover, unlike the Balda Holy See, they did not have a bloody aura and their demeanor was relatively gentle.
Back in Winter City, with this Bishop’s strange time-related abilities, it would have been easy for him to knock Ruo Yi unconscious and take her away when she wasn’t paying attention. But in the end, he chose the most foolish method – persuasion.
When they returned to the plaza, the followers and priests had all disappeared.
Xi Wei estimated that they had been taken away by the Light Bishop for interrogation.
If these people said something like “the angel split the roof of the Church of Light,” they might be considered to have been bewitched by demons and then taken to be bathed in Holy Light to cleanse their souls.
Don’t think of that as an enjoyable process.
Know that high-concentration Holy Light is almost as intense as the midday sun. Being bathed in Holy Light is equivalent to being scorched under the sun.
Looking at the damaged religious buildings on both sides, Ruo Yi felt a little embarrassed.
After all, Xi Wei had done it, but she didn’t have any opinions about Xi Wei’s actions, so everything was attributed to herself.
She stuck out her tongue and asked softly with an apologetic tone:
“Si Wei, Big… Brother, wouldn’t it be bad if we just left like this?”
“What’s bad about it? It’s fine. The Church of Light has plenty of money, and the initiation fee alone is ten gold coins! As for the Time Holy See, it doesn’t make much difference whether they have a Holy See or not.”
Xi Wei waved his hand and replied nonchalantly.
With the Time Holy See’s restroom-like decoration, it was a good thing Ruo Yi didn’t become the Saintess of Time, or she would have been ridiculed to death?
Besides, his thick skin had already reached an extreme after a series of events like snatching candy and stealing stockings and being caught.
The time for Lewenstein’s descent was running out, and there wasn’t much divine power left in his body, but it was still enough for Xi Wei to make a few spatial jumps.
The coordinates were easy to find. After all, his sword had not only split Dragonflame City but also left behind a large amount of Holy Light aura unique to Lewenstein.
He pulled Ruo Yi’s soft little hand, and the long sword in his hand gently sliced the air in front of him, opening a spatial tunnel between them.
This was a basic application of divine power, not even considered a skill.
He had learned it belatedly after Lewenstein’s descent.
However, this crude cross-spatial ability consumed a lot of divine power, and the range of the crossing was very limited. From Dol City in Medon to Dragonflame City, it would require about three jumps.
A moment later…
After three consecutive spatial jumps, Xi Wei finally brought Ruo Yi back to Dragonflame City. Lewenstein’s power was almost exhausted, but fortunately, they had returned.
It was just that, for some reason, it was snowing heavily in Dragonflame City…
No, this snow wasn’t real.
He didn’t feel any cold from it. Instead, he felt an indescribable sense of intimacy and familiarity.
These snowflakes were pure Holy Light energy.
Although their divine rank was lower than the divine power he currently possessed, they were very pure.
Faintly, Xi Wei heard sounds of battle from outside the city.
It was from the direction of his army.
His brow furrowed, and he immediately picked up Ruo Yi, flapped his wings, and flew towards the outside of the city.
As soon as he reached the city wall, he saw that ten Terrifying Phantom Riders and Clemon were engaged in a fierce battle with a young girl, who was enveloped in Holy Light, wielding a long sword and a Light Shield.
The snowflakes condensed from Holy Light were falling, centered around this girl. The closer they got to her, the heavier the Holy Light snow fell.

In this beautiful and magnificent snow, the strength of the Terrifying Phantom Riders had been suppressed to the extreme.
Xi Wei’s gaze sharpened as he scanned the girl’s information:
[Name: Gabriel]
[Identity: Church of Light – Saintess of Judgment]
[Strength: ArchbishopRank 60 (51-60)]
[Skills: Holy Light Snow Country (Domain), Other Side of Light (Passive), Light Barrier, Angelic Descent, Light Sacrifice, Immaculate Body (Passive)]
[Equipment: Holy Sword – Judgment (Imitation) (Grandmaster), Holy Robe – Judgment (Imitation) (Grandmaster)]
[Church of Light Favorability: 8397 (One of the Church of Light’s three Saintesses, primarily focused on slaughter and judgment. Although her strength is the lowest, her personality is the most fierce and cold.)]
[Cain Continent Favorability: 723767↑ (Bards often sing of her beauty, but Undead and Demons alike hate her to the bone and flee from her presence.)]
After reading Gabriel’s terrifying information panel, Xi Wei couldn’t help but glance at Ruo Yi in his arms.
Both were Saintesses, but Ruo Yi, before her awakening, was just a mascot. Yet, the Church of Light had more than one formidable weapon like Gabriel.
No wonder the Demi-humans were facing extinction…
Xi Wei sighed and accelerated. His poor ten Terrifying Phantom Riders were on the verge of collapse.
“Why associate with the dead? You’re a human, after all.”
Gabriel smiled as she asked Clemon, like a neighborly girl visiting, her voice gentle and her entire being enveloped in Holy Light, like the warm sun.
However, in stark contrast, her movements were ferocious.
She had no intention of listening to Clemon’s answer.
Facing the charging Clemon and the Terrifying Phantom Riders, she dodged nimbly, propped herself up with one hand on the ground, and twisted her body into a breathtaking arc with incredible flexibility.
She narrowly dodged the thrusting long sword and the Qi Slash flying from a distance.
Then, holding the Holy Sword horizontally, retracting the blade, she infused her entire body with Holy Light into the sword, and with the hilt, she struck the Old Knight hard on his back.
With a flip of her hand, she swung the long sword upwards, and a Holy Light sword slash, tens of meters high, instantly cut a Terrifying Phantom Rider in half, turning it into smoke and dust.
When it reformed, its armor was clearly tattered.
“Stop!”
Xi Wei, who had rushed over in a panic, roared and put Ruo Yi down, immediately flashing in front of the Terrifying Phantom Rider, raising his sword to block Gabriel, who was about to deliver the finishing blow.
“Oh my~”
Gabriel let out a soft hum, a hint of surprise flashing in her bright eyes.
She didn’t confront Xi Wei head-on.
Sensing the irresistible power within the man before her, she broke contact immediately and retreated to a safe distance.
At the same time, she didn’t forget to send another Holy Light Slash towards another dispirited Terrifying Phantom Rider on the ground.
“…”
Xi Wei gritted his teeth, flashed again to another Terrifying Phantom Rider, and blocked the Holy Light Slash for it.
This Saintess of the Church of Light possessed the same “Other Side of Light” skill as Lewenstein.
The damage to the Undead and Demons increased by 100%. It was normal for the Terrifying Phantom Riders to be unable to defeat her.
But that didn’t mean the Terrifying Phantom Riders were weak. These were all his treasures. He would be heartbroken if even one of them died.
Gabriel pursed her lips into a smile, looked at Xi Wei tenderly, and then raised her slender and delicate arm, preparing to unleash another Holy Light Slash. But the next instant, a few feathers stained with Holy Light floated past, and Xi Wei had already placed his long sword at her neck.
“Enough, stop, or I won’t hesitate to send you to meet the God of Light.”
“Oh my~”
Gabriel looked Xi Wei up and down, completely unfazed by the Divine Sword of Judgment at her snow-white neck, and said with a smile:
“You, who were chosen by Seraph Lewenstein, why would you associate with the Undead? You know that the Angel of Judgment, like the Angel of Condemnation, hates the Undead the most~”
Gabriel’s soft and gentle voice echoed in Xi Wei’s ears, but he could feel a surging killing intent and a subtle hint of confusion from it.
He understood. This woman was a complete smiling tiger!
[Gabriel walks behind you and gently covers your eyes. You can feel her gentle breath blowing on the back of your neck. She leans close to your ear with a smile and says softly: “Aren’t you going to generate love for the author? I’ll kill you~”]
