Volume 2: Witch Kingdom Arc

Chapter 40: Negative Luck Value

Luo Yuxi looked at the vast forest. Although they had successfully escaped Apal, taking Xia directly to the Holy War might get them both arrested as traitors.

“We should go to the Witch Kingdom. I don’t know if Little Yu and Little Yun are worried, but if we join forces, I’ll have more protection…”

Luo Yuxi pondered, then looked at the sign pointing towards the Witch Kingdom and hesitated. What if they triggered some game event and were attacked by monsters?

“I have to protect my precious daughter. If we’re attacked, it better be by witches…”

Luo Yuxi glanced at Xia, her beauty and alluring figure undeniable. As long as they didn’t encounter the Blood Spider Queen, they should be fine. And Xia was a 4th Order now.

“Let’s go this way, to the Witch Kingdom!”

“Okay…”

“Don’t you want to ask why we’re going there?”

“If you say so, I’ll follow…”

Xia’s unquestioning trust made Luo Yuxi blush. She hadn’t expected Xia to trust her so easily after just meeting her. She was even more determined to protect her.

“I actually enjoyed watching those CGs of you being violated? I’m such a scumbag…”

Luo Yuxi mentally berated herself. Xia, seeing her sudden remorse, simply followed, silently scanning their surroundings. Luo Yuxi nudged her. This was a forest near the Church, there shouldn’t be any danger.

“In the game, the encounter rate in forests near major cities is low, there’s no need to be so vigilant~”

“Game? What’s that…?”

“Well…”

Luo Yuxi was about to explain when she pushed aside some bushes and saw a swamp filled with writhing, green tentacles, covered in slime. She felt a cold sweat.

“Why are there tentacles here? Shouldn’t those be in the Dark Forest?”

“That’s disgusting, I don’t want to go there…”

Even Xia, usually agreeable, looked disgusted. Luo Yuxi knew the slime was an ingredient for aphrodisiacs, and she had often gathered it while playing the game, but seeing it in real life was different.

“You’re right, it’s disgusting. Let’s go around…”

Luo Yuxi turned towards a nearby stream, thinking, Following the river should be safer. But after a few steps, she saw more tentacles with suckers.

[Mutated Octopus]

[Powerful suckers can grab anything bulging. Each tentacle has independent thought. A favorite pet of tentacle enthusiasts.]

“What the—?! First a tentacle swamp, now an octopus? Aren’t those supposed to be in the sea?!”

Luo Yuxi couldn’t believe it. She had just encountered two impossible creatures in a row. As she was about to turn back, the tentacles in the river stirred, as if sensing something.

“Not good! Xia, run!”

Luo Yuxi sighed. As expected of the protagonist, triggering lewd events everywhere. It must be her constitution that attracted these things.

“The protagonist’s charm is too dangerous. If she stays away, I should be—”

Before Luo Yuxi could finish her thought, a tentacle wrapped around her waist.

“Eh?”

Luo Yuxi was pulled towards the river. So the octopus wasn’t after Xia, but her. She panicked and struggled, the wet, slimy tentacles and their suckers disgusting her.

“This isn’t right! Why me?!”

[Divine Art: Dust to Dust]

A bright light shone on the octopus, and its tentacles crumbled into dust, sinking into the river.

“Eh? What happened?”

Luo Yuxi, who had been lifted into the air, fell towards the river, but a familiar figure caught her.

“That thing was disgusting, I got rid of it…”

“I almost forgot how strong you are…”

Luo Yuxi, held in Xia’s arms, felt embarrassed. She had been talking about protecting Xia, but she was the one being rescued.

“My luck is terrible. Encountering monsters and traps every few steps. If I reach the Witch Kingdom…”

Luo Yuxi looked at her panel, her luck at -10. She knew why, but she hadn’t expected such a drastic effect.

“Seriously? It’s just -10, why is my luck so bad?!”

[Because your previous luck stat was only 8.]

[Current Luck: -2]

“???”

Luo Yuxi looked at the negative number, realizing why her luck was so bad. Breaking that chain had cost her more than she could afford. Not only was her luck completely gone, but she was also in debt.

“Damn it, if I want to reach the Witch Kingdom safely, I need to get my luck back into the positives…”

Luo Yuxi looked at the panel, afraid to even move, in case she triggered another trap.

“How can I increase my luck if I don’t move…?”

Luo Yuxi racked her brain, then looked up and saw Xia, bathed in a golden light, her figure seemingly larger than life.

“I have an idea…”

[Child of Destiny, Blessed by the Gods, Luck 999, Protagonist…]

Luo Yuxi looked at Xia, her stats maxed out, and a sinister plan formed in her mind.

Volume 2: Witch Kingdom Arc

Chapter 39: Is This Protagonist Setting Wrong?

“That nun who fought the Seven Deadly Sins is terrifying…”

“???”

Luo Yuxi looked at the trainee nuns lying on the ground, their clothes torn, their faces flushed, yet still managing to commentate, and felt bewildered. She looked at the glowing girl beside her.

“Are you kidding me? She defeated you?!”

[Xia]

Occupation: Saintess
Affiliation: …
Skills: ???
Title: Saintess
Affection: 78%
Order Level: 4th Order

Luo Yuxi couldn’t understand. These trainee nuns had been punched into the ground by Xia, yet they were still insisting she was the one who did it. Before Luo Yuxi could explain, the nuns fainted.

“Should I kill them…?”

Xia looked at Luo Yuxi. Luo Yuxi quickly waved her hands. She had just wanted to take Xia out for a walk, not cause any deaths. The bishops wouldn’t be happy. But the protagonist was surprisingly violent.

“Let’s go, before everyone else arrives…”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Xia nodded obediently. Luo Yuxi was surprised by her docility. If it weren’t for her alluring figure, she would have mistaken her for a child easily lured away with candy. Luo Yuxi almost believed she had mind control powers.

“Come on, this is a secret route I found. There are usually very few guards here, especially now that everyone’s gone to the Holy War~”

Luo Yuxi led the way. Of course, she hadn’t “found” anything. She didn’t know Apal’s layout, but based on her game knowledge, this was an area for underground transactions, so there usually weren’t any guards.

“If I remember correctly, turn right, then go straight, then turn left, and we’ll reach the east gate…”

Luo Yuxi followed her memories and the markings on the walls, leading Xia towards the exit. Seeing the exit so close, she excitedly pulled Xia’s hand.

“Let’s sneak out quietly!”

“…”

As they ran, a blinding silver light stopped them. Luo Yuxi, her vision slowly returning, saw a group of soldiers in silver armor, their white-crossed banner unmistakable. A small detachment of the Divine Punishment Army, hundreds strong.

“Wh-Why are they here?!”

“Luo Yuxi?! Aren’t you missing?!”

Luo Yuxi panicked, then heard her name and looked towards a blonde girl in armor, riding a horse at the front of the formation. Luo Yuxi felt a sense of familiarity.

“Who is she…?”

The girl’s appearance and armor seemed familiar, but she couldn’t place her. As the girl approached, Luo Yuxi became nervous.

“It’s great you’re back! The bishops said you were missing!”

“Although it seems rude, who are you…?”

“Wh-What?! It’s me! Isaiah!”

“Even if you tell me your name…”

Luo Yuxi was embarrassed. She didn’t remember this character. Seeing the girl’s slightly bruised face, she felt a pang of guilt.

“You’re so mean! Humiliating me, the Captain of the Divine Punishment Army, and now you pretend not to know me!”

“Uh…”

Luo Yuxi tried to explain, but she really didn’t remember this character. The girl, despite her strong and imposing appearance in armor, was now crying like a child. Luo Yuxi was afraid she would be struck down.

“Wait… could it be…?”

Luo Yuxi suddenly remembered the arrogant Knight-Captain at the southern border church, forced to wear a maid outfit and clean the church for a week.

“It’s fine if you don’t remember, it’s better that you forget…”

Isaiah wiped away her tears and drew her sword, pointing it at Luo Yuxi, her previous tearful demeanor gone, replaced by a cold, sharp gaze.

“Then let’s discuss another matter. Where are you taking the Saintess?”

“I’m taking her out for a walk, to see the mountains and rivers, and then we’ll find a room and sleep together…”

Luo Yuxi’s gaze darted around, even she didn’t believe her own words. And this knight had been her maid! If she knew Luo Yuxi remembered, she might be killed.

“Fortunately, our deployment was delayed, or you would have kidnapped our Saintess…”

“I didn’t! I’m not!”

“Have you betrayed the Church? Captured by the Seven Deadly Sins, your body trained, your mind brainwashed, turned into their toy…?”

“Huh? What?! That’s slander!”

Luo Yuxi pointed at Isaiah angrily, but the knight didn’t give her a chance to explain. She raised her sword and ordered,

“Divine Punishment Army, apprehend Nun Luo Yuxi and rescue the Saintess!”

“How can you be so unreasonable?! This is a personal vendetta!”

Luo Yuxi was about to use her divine arts. There were over a hundred soldiers, all 9th or 10th Order. If she fought with all her might, she might have a chance to break through.

“In that case…”

…

“Ah!”

“So fast! What was that?!”

“I can’t see!”

“I’m paralyzed!”

…

In the blink of an eye, the Divine Punishment Army was incapacitated, even Isaiah was bound and gagged.

“What happened?”

“Can we go now, Yuxi…?”

Luo Yuxi turned and saw Xia, an innocent expression on her face, as if she didn’t know what she had done. Luo Yuxi felt a sense of defeat.

“Was the protagonist this strong in the game…?“

Volume 2: Witch Kingdom Arc

Chapter 38: I’m Taking Her Away Today…

Luo Yuxi froze, hearing the girl’s name. Xia? That was the name she had used for her final playthrough of the game. Why was the protagonist using the same name?

“Your name is Xia…?”

“Yes.”

The girl’s robotic reply left Luo Yuxi unsure where to begin. She was about to ask something else when she noticed a golden chain on the girl’s ankle.

“Why is there a chain? Strange…”

Luo Yuxi tugged on the chain, realizing one end was attached to the bed, the other to the girl’s delicate ankle. With a slight pull, the shackled foot was exposed. Xia, as if understanding, lifted her white and gold dress, revealing her bound feet.

“What’s going on? Aren’t you the new Saintess?”

“I don’t want to be the Saintess. I want to go home, back to my little cabin. It’s small, but it’s warm…”

Xia hugged herself, as if seeking comfort in the cold, cage-like room. Luo Yuxi looked at the chain, puzzled. This wasn’t in the game’s plot. The protagonist was supposed to be the Saintess, why was she chained up?

“It seems you’re not so lucky either~ Look on the bright side, you’ll get used to it~”

“Hmm?”

Luo Yuxi sighed and patted Xia’s shoulder. As expected of an 18+ game’s protagonist, she’s still incredibly alluring, even with the plot deviations. Luo Yuxi looked at her.

“Well, I don’t know who locked you up, but the previous Saintess has gone to the Holy War, so let’s go out for a walk~”

“Eh? Can I go outside?”

“Why not? First, let’s deal with this bothersome chain~”

Luo Yuxi grabbed the chain, her divine power surging, but it remained unbroken. She looked closer and saw tiny magic circuits etched into the chain.

“What the heck, why is a chain so sturdy?”

Luo Yuxi continued to pull, even using Holy Flame, but the chain remained intact. Seeing Xia’s hopeful expression, she said,

“Wait, this thing is tough. Damn it, why is a chain so strong? Couldn’t they have used ordinary iron?”

[Ding]

[Divine Art: Divine Word]

[Chain material replaced.]

[Divine Art Cost: Luck -10%]

Luo Yuxi heard a voice in her head, and the chain in her hand crumbled into dust. Xia stared at the broken chain in disbelief. This pink-haired nun was different from the ones who had imprisoned her.

…

“Saintess! We’ve finally found you! Come back to the Church~”

“You were born to be a guide of light, beloved by the Goddess, this is where you belong~”

“What? That old wooden cabin? Why go back there? This is where the Saintess should live~”

…

Xia listened to the congratulatory words and the nuns’ admiring gazes, feeling suffocated. Her peaceful life had been turned into a play. But this pink-haired nun was different. Her gentle smile and kind words reminded Xia of her cozy cabin.

“Finally, it’s broken. Wait, something popped up just now…”

Luo Yuxi looked at the panel, then was suddenly hugged by Xia. She blushed, surprised by the sudden embrace.

“Wh-What’s wrong?”

“Thank you, Sister. I feel much better…”

Luo Yuxi, flustered, didn’t understand. She had just broken a chain, and now the protagonist was hugging her, her soft body pressed against Luo Yuxi’s. As expected of the protagonist, she’s so well-endowed.

“Alright, enough hugs, let’s go out for a walk. I’ll just take you to the Holy War…”

Luo Yuxi reluctantly released Xia from her embrace. She’s so fair-skinned… I mean, so big. Luo Yuxi took Xia’s hand and walked towards the door, startling the trainee nun standing guard outside.

“Wait, Sister! The Word Spirit Saintess forbade the Saintess from leaving this room until the Holy War is over!”

“A war will last at least half a year, especially a large-scale Holy War. Keeping someone locked up will drive them crazy…”

Luo Yuxi pushed past the trainee nun, who, seeing her pleas ignored, blew a whistle. Luo Yuxi turned and saw herself surrounded by trainee nuns.

“We know we’re weak, the strongest among us is only 9th Order, but we’ll do our best to stop you, Lady Luo Yuxi!”

Luo Yuxi hadn’t expected them to use force against her. It seemed the Word Spirit Saintess had given strict orders.

“Hmph, I’m taking her away today, and none of you can stop me!”

Luo Yuxi wasn’t sure why they thought she was so powerful, but she decided to use it to her advantage. She pulled Xia into her arms, enjoying the embrace.

“I’ve always wanted to say this line, I didn’t expect it to be here~”

Luo Yuxi looked at the surrounding nuns. Although some were higher level than her, with her cheat skills, she might stand a chance. After all, she had even fought a First Order, although she was easily defeated.

“Don’t worry, Xia, I, Luo Yuxi, am taking you out today~”

“Xia?”

“What? Is that too forward? I can change it back if you don’t like it.”

“It’s fine, I don’t mind. If it’s you, it’s okay…”

Luo Yuxi, focused on the nuns, didn’t notice Xia’s blush. Xia tugged at her sleeve.

“Do you need help…?”

Chapter 37: Saintess? Protagonist?

Luo Yuxi looked around Apal, eerily quiet, with only a few people around. Even the Direct Nuns and Punishment Nuns, usually ubiquitous, were nowhere to be seen. And the usual knight guards at the church entrances were missing.

“Why is it so quiet? And why are there only trainee nuns?”

Luo Yuxi, feeling her black and white habit stand out even more, ran to the 12 bishops’ meeting hall. The twelve chairs, symbols of their authority, were empty.

“Sister! It’s great you’re here! The Saintess is on a hunger strike, please go see her!”

“Hmm? ‘Sister’?”

Luo Yuxi turned and saw a trainee nun in gray robes, her anxious expression making Luo Yuxi wonder if she was being addressed. Since all the other nuns were gone, Luo Yuxi, as a Direct Nun, was the highest-ranking person here.

“So she’s talking to me? And what’s this about the Saintess being on a hunger strike…?”

As Luo Yuxi turned, the trainee nun’s eyes widened, and she rushed over, her eyes sparkling.

“Pink hair and eyes! You’re Lady Luo Yuxi, the one who single-handedly defeated all the Saintess candidates and then fought the Seven Deadly Sins in the Witch Kingdom!!”

“Uh… my name is Luo Yuxi, but I don’t know about the rest…”

Luo Yuxi scratched her head, wondering how such rumors had spread. She had been in the Witch Kingdom, how could she have done all that?

“But I heard you were ambushed by the Seven Deadly Sins and disappeared. Otherwise, you would be the Saintess now.”

“Ambushed? I was swallowed by the Gluttony Witch. And there were only three Deadly Sins there, and I was just watching… I don’t know how it turned into me being ambushed, but…” Luo Yuxi realized something was wrong. A new Saintess had been appointed while she was gone.

“Who’s the current Saintess?! And what about the previous one?”

Luo Yuxi grabbed the trainee nun’s arm, her voice filled with urgency. The trainee nun, startled, whispered,

“The Word Spirit Saintess led the Church’s forces to the Holy War. The current Saintess is a silver-haired, golden-eyed girl brought back by the previous Saintess from her travels…”

“Holy War, silver-haired, golden-eyed…”

Luo Yuxi felt like she had been struck by lightning, all the twisted plot points snapping back into place. The protagonist, who should have emerged from the Saintess candidates, had been brought back by the Word Spirit Saintess instead.

“I have to go to the Holy War!”

Luo Yuxi had wanted to prevent the war. After all, according to the backstory, the Church was the strongest human faction, not only because of their First Order powerhouse, but also because they possessed nearly a third of the world’s high-Order individuals, excluding witches.

“If the Holy War breaks out, both the Church and the Witch Kingdom will suffer heavy losses, and the border will be undefended…”

Luo Yuxi started running, but the trainee nun stopped her.

“Wait, Lady Luo Yuxi! All the Direct Nuns and bishops have gone to the battlefield! And the current Saintess is on a hunger strike, she needs your help!”

“They all went?!”

“Yes…”

“…”

Luo Yuxi stopped, realizing she couldn’t do anything alone, without Yun Keke and Yu Keke. And such a large-scale war required time for troop movements and strategic planning.

“Alright, take me to the new Saintess.”

“Understood, Lady. This way…”

Luo Yuxi followed the trainee nun to a luxuriously decorated room, the colorful stained-glass ceiling captivating her. Golden bars on the walls, reaching from floor to ceiling, made the room look like a giant birdcage.

“What a strange decoration…”

“We’re here. Please go in alone, Lady. The Word Spirit Saintess instructed that only two people are allowed inside at a time…”

“Understood. Really, it’s just the Saintess position, it wasn’t like this in the game…”

“Game…?”

The trainee nun tilted her head in confusion, but Luo Yuxi ignored her and entered the cage-like room, marveling at the extravagant decorations. Gold was everywhere.

“Although the Holy War isn’t urgent, it’s better to hurry. I can finally meet my in-game daughter, I’m so excited~”

Luo Yuxi walked through a stained-glass partition and saw a silver-haired girl, her long hair cascading down her back like a waterfall, a picture of serene beauty. As if sensing Luo Yuxi’s presence, the girl slowly turned around, her golden eyes like precious gems, tears shimmering in the corners. Luo Yuxi felt her heart skip a beat.

“Who are you…?”

“My goodness, she’s even more beautiful than in the game! My beloved daughter~”

Luo Yuxi approached, admiring the girl’s milky skin and rosy lips. She understood why witches fell for her at first sight. Even Luo Yuxi was smitten.

“You must be the new Saintess. I’m Luo Yuxi.”

Luo Yuxi smiled gently, trying to comfort the teary-eyed girl, who, although hesitant, introduced herself.

“Xia. That’s my name…”

…

Chapter 36: The Key to the Divine Gate

Kshira looked at the churning black mist, corroding the walls of the room, revealing golden magic circles beneath. After a few moments, she looked at the figure sitting amidst the darkness.

“My, my, such a terrifying attack. If I had been hit by that, my soul would have been destroyed… tsk, tsk…”

Luo Yuxi, feeling emboldened, looked at Kshira defiantly. Helena, the bed beneath her having dissolved, stood up.

“The chains are loose…”

Helena looked at the chains on her wrists, the divine power within them dissipating like iron in acid, turning gray and crumbling into dust.

“Quickly, Goddess of Light, teach your naughty little sister a lesson~!”

Luo Yuxi eagerly awaited the Goddess’s tearful pleas for mercy, but Kshira remained calm, simply pointing at Helena.

“Your Goddess doesn’t seem capable of defeating me~”

“Eh?”

Luo Yuxi looked at Kshira’s confident expression and had a bad feeling. She turned to see that only the chain on Helena’s right arm had broken, her neck and left hand were still bound, and the shackles on her ankles rattled.

“N-No way…”

“Only your right hand is free, how can you fight me~?”

Kshira laughed triumphantly. Luo Yuxi looked at Helena, like a wilting white lotus, her white and gold dress torn and tattered, her skin exposed. As Luo Yuxi hid behind her, she couldn’t resist taking advantage of the situation.

“Come on, hit me again! Use that attack again! Wait, so smooth…”

Luo Yuxi taunted Kshira while groping Helena’s exposed waist, but Kshira wasn’t going to give her a chance.

“You think the same trick will work twice…?”

The space around Luo Yuxi froze again, the familiar feeling of suffocation returning. She struggled, but she couldn’t even move a finger.

“Die…”

“Ah! I’m dead…!”

“…”
“…”

Nothing happened. Luo Yuxi, confused, checked her body, unharmed. Kshira looked at her hands, puzzled. She had used her divine power to crush Luo Yuxi, yet she was still standing there.

“A little bit of my power has returned, not much, but enough…”

“You still want to defy me?!”

Kshira looked at Helena, who was glowing faintly, realizing what had happened. Even a single hand was enough to cause trouble.

“I just had a change of heart. It’s a sister’s duty to correct her misguided sibling, isn’t it?”

“Heh, what’s the point of saying that now? You think I’m afraid to kill you?!”

“What about this…?”

Helena raised her right hand, a crystal key, glowing with blue light, materializing in her palm. Kshira’s eyes widened.

“The Key to the Divine Gate!”

“You recognize it? Good…”

“Heh, you’re offering this in exchange for your follower’s life? Fine, I’ll accept—”

“No, it’s not for you…”

“???”

Before Kshira could react, Helena grabbed Luo Yuxi and embedded the key in her chest.

“It seems you have another mission now. Save the nuns, then come and save me, okay~?”

“Eh?”

Helena smiled gently at Luo Yuxi. Kshira, seeing this, exploded into a black mist, rushing towards them.

“Stop!!!”

Helena pushed Luo Yuxi, who fell through a square portal that appeared behind her. The last thing she heard was Helena’s gentle “Good luck.”

“What happened…?”

Luo Yuxi looked at the information on the panel, still dazed. She recognized the familiar ceiling with its divine markings.

“I’m back…”

Luo Yuxi stood up, looking at the Goddess statue and the magnificent cathedral. She was back in the Church’s main hall. She checked her surroundings, then, seeing no one, opened her collar and looked at her chest. Her previously ample bosom now bore key-shaped marks, strangely alluring.

“That wasn’t a dream…”

Luo Yuxi quickly got dressed and rushed out, heading towards the 12 bishops’ meeting room. She had to tell them about the fake Goddess.

“What if they don’t believe me? Whatever, I’ll tell them anyway. Someone might believe me. And the Seat of Sacrifice seems approachable!”

Luo Yuxi ran, then slowed down, looking around in confusion. The Church seemed familiar yet unfamiliar. She looked at the vast Goddess Plaza.

“Why is it so quiet…?“

Volume 2: Witch Kingdom Arc

Chapter 35: This Is My Escape Route!

Hidden in the closet, Luo Yuxi listened to the conversation between the two goddesses, learning that the chained girl’s name was Helena. Through the crack in the door, she saw the fake Goddess of Light examining the room.

“My dear sister, are you still holding out? Give me the key to the Divine Gate, and I won’t have to keep you locked up~”

“I’ve already given you the position of Chief God, what more do you want…?”

Helena casually flipped through a book, seemingly unconcerned. To Luo Yuxi’s shock, the fake Goddess grabbed Helena’s wrist.

“You’ve always been like this! Why are you the symbol of hope and light?! Still acting so high and mighty!”

“I’m not acting high and mighty…”

“Shut up!”

“Kshira…”

“Don’t call me that!”

The fake Goddess reacted strongly to the name. Luo Yuxi realized that must be her name.

“So she’s the Dark Goddess, Kshira. What a strange name…”

Kshira’s golden hair and eyes turned dark purple, black tear-like marks appearing on her cheeks, her white and gold dress turning dark purple.

“Because of my ugly appearance, you became the Chief God, while I became a laughingstock!”

“Kshira… I never thought that…”

Helena closed her book, her golden eyes showing a hint of pity. She reached out to comfort Kshira, but her hand was swatted away. Kshira glared at her.

“Don’t call me that name! I am the Goddess of Light, Helena, now!”

Kshira’s eyes were cold and emotionless. Helena sighed and picked up her book again.

“If that makes you feel better…”

“You’re always so indifferent!”

Kshira angrily turned towards the door, then hesitated. Luo Yuxi, enjoying the divine drama, thought,

“So that’s their relationship. One can’t express her feelings, the other wants her sister’s attention. Is that all it is…?”

Then she remembered Helena’s instructions to hide under the bed when Kshira turned around. But interrupting their dramatic moment seemed wrong.

“Well, my life is more important…”

Luo Yuxi carefully opened the closet door. Helena, seeing her, pulled back the covers, signaling her to get in. Luo Yuxi hesitated, looking at Kshira’s back, but she crawled under the bed.

“Why under the bed? Isn’t the closet just as good…?”

Luo Yuxi stayed still. A loud crash startled her. She saw the closet door lying on the floor.

“It seems the little kitten isn’t here. I’ll take everything from you, even your first follower…”

Kshira’s hair turned gold again. Luo Yuxi, hearing the door close, breathed a sigh of relief. Being caught between two powerful beings was stressful.

“Haa, you and your sister have a terrible relationship…”

Luo Yuxi crawled out from under the bed, looking at the silent Helena. She was about to ask how to escape when she realized Helena wasn’t looking at her. A cold sweat ran down her back.

“We sisters are quite close~”

“I was just passing by, please spare me…”

Luo Yuxi wanted to cry. Kshira was leaning against the doorframe. She had been tricked! She tried to react, but an invisible force pinned her down.

“I was going to make you mine, but since you’ve seen my true form, you have to die…”

Kshira raised her hand, about to annihilate Luo Yuxi’s soul, when she saw Luo Yuxi smiling.

“Why are you smiling…?”

“I thought goddesses were supposed to be powerful, but it seems you’re nothing special!”

“Hmm?”

Kshira hesitated. Luo Yuxi, seizing the opportunity, continued her taunts.

“So this is the power of the great Goddess~?”

“What are you playing at? You’re completely immobilized, are you trying to make a last stand…?”

“Heh, although I’m weak, I’ve dealt with much stronger witches~”

“What does that have to do with me killing you?”

“You’re a Goddess, yet you’re just going to immobilize and kill me like a witch? It seems you’re no different from them~”

“…”

Kshira was confused. This human was about to be killed, yet she was still talking back.

“You’re a Goddess, yet you’re going to kill me so easily, just like a witch~”

“What are you trying to say?!”

Kshira lost her patience, her golden hair turning back to its dark purple hue. Luo Yuxi, also panicking, continued her bluff.

“Aren’t you a Goddess? Show me your strongest attack, so I can die without regrets…”

“Such sophistry, but if you insist~”

Kshira lowered her hand. Luo Yuxi felt the spatial lock release and breathed a sigh of relief, but a greater danger loomed.

[Fallen Divine Art: Breath of Death]

“You’re just an ant, I’ll show you the power of a god…”

Kshira’s body glowed with divine power, a deadly aura filling the room. Luo Yuxi knew she couldn’t dodge. This time, she might actually die. Seeing the approaching purple light, she closed her eyes.

“So the great Dark Goddess is actually going to use such a powerful skill on me. But I’m not that easy to kill!!”

“Hmm?”

Kshira realized she had been tricked as Luo Yuxi rushed towards Helena and used her as a shield.

“This is my escape route!!”

“What?!”

Volume 2: Witch Kingdom Arc

Chapter 34: The True Goddess of Light

Luo Yuxi, surrounded by angels, succumbed to the divine wine and collapsed amidst the gentle ministrations. The angels, seeing her unconscious, stopped their massages and dances.

“She fainted after only a few drinks…?”

“She’s only a mortal, she can’t handle the Goddess’s wine~”

“Should we inform the Goddess?”

“As expected of that Lady’s follower, she’s quite beautiful~”

“This is not the time to be smitten. Come on, let’s inform the Goddess…”

…

The angels, after a brief discussion, carried Luo Yuxi to the bed and left the room. As the door closed, the light in the room faded.

“Are they gone…?”

After a moment of silence, Luo Yuxi sat up in bed, her eyes clear, no trace of intoxication. She sniffed the lingering scent of the angels.

“This is nice. If that Goddess didn’t have any ulterior motives, I would just stay here and rot…”

Luo Yuxi got out of bed, her bare feet touching the floor. She didn’t bother with shoes, this was the divine realm, after all, even her delicate feet wouldn’t get dirty.

“Even for me, this is too much pampering. This Goddess is definitely not the one who sent me here…”

Luo Yuxi carefully opened the door, peering into the dark, endless corridor. She recalled the Goddess who had sent her here, although she hadn’t seen her face, she would never forget that gentle voice.

“That Lady? She must be the Goddess who sent me here…”

Luo Yuxi crept down the corridor, the identical doors disorienting her, like a maze. She knew that if she had asked for resurrection, the Goddess wouldn’t have granted it. Her priority was to find the other Goddess.

“Why are all the rooms the same? If I check them one by one, they’ll discover I’m gone…”

Luo Yuxi started running, no longer caring about the noise. She looked like a princess escaping a castle, but the noise alerted the “dragon.”

“The Goddess of Light’s first follower has escaped!”

“There’s a sound over there, search that area!”

…

Luo Yuxi hid in a room, listening to the approaching footsteps and flapping wings. She was discovered. Hearing the angels’ conversation, she leaned against the wall and sat down.

“Goddess of Light? The Church worships the Goddess of Light… but why am I her first follower…?”

Luo Yuxi listened until the sounds faded, then cautiously opened the door. Although she didn’t know who this “Goddess of Light” was, she had a clue. As she closed the door, the corridor shifted and turned, like a Rubik’s Cube.

“The divine realm and its fancy tricks. It’s like a maze. How am I supposed to find her? This is so annoying!”

“I heard something over there, go check it out!”

“!!!”

Luo Yuxi saw golden halos approaching and, spotting a door opening above, jumped through without hesitation.

“I definitely heard something here, search that area! If you can’t find her, the Dark Goddess will make us fall from grace!”

Luo Yuxi held her breath, listening to the angels pass by. Relieved, she watched as the room shifted again, the door now vertical.

“I’m going to be dizzy. Is this some kind of divine defense mechanism?”

“Who are you…?”

“!!”

Luo Yuxi jumped, turning to see a golden-haired girl bathed in a familiar golden light. Her heart leaped into her throat.

“Not an angel? A human? Why is there a human here…?”

Luo Yuxi had thought she had stumbled upon the other Goddess, but hearing the gentle voice, she realized this was the Goddess who had sent her here.

Luo Yuxi calmed down and examined the Goddess. Although she resembled the other Goddess, her eyes were gentle and kind. And she was bound by chains, like a sacrificial lamb, not at all like a Goddess should be.

“Are you the true Goddess of Light?”

“Someone still remembers that title? But even if you do, my sister will kill you soon…”

“Sister?”

Luo Yuxi’s tentative question wasn’t denied. She was now certain that the Goddess who had offered her resurrection wasn’t the true Goddess of Light.

“Then let me get you out of here, I have some questions for you…”

“These are God-Binding Chains, they absorb divine power. Touching them will only hurt you. Don’t worry about me, protect yourself…”

The Goddess of Light closed her eyes, seemingly resigned to her fate. But Luo Yuxi wasn’t going to give up. Not only was she the Goddess who had sent Luo Yuxi here, but her resurrection also depended on her.

“I’ll find a way to save you. I’m your first follower, after all…”

“My first follower? Are you the child who asked me to save the witches? I’m sorry for bringing you to this world so abruptly…”

“Now’s not the time for apologies! Tell me how to get you out of here!”

Luo Yuxi asked anxiously. She could be discovered at any moment. Just then, the doorknob turned. Luo Yuxi panicked.

“Damn it, they’re here!”

“Hide in that closet, hold your breath, and they won’t find you!”

Luo Yuxi, seeing no other option, hid in the closet.

“Remember, when she turns around, run out and hide under the bed!”

The door opened. Luo Yuxi held her breath. The Goddess of Light sat on the bed, her eyes lifeless, bound by chains and a collar.

“My dear sister, Helena, Goddess of Light, have you seen a cute little pink kitten around here~?”

“…”

Volume 2: Witch Kingdom Arc

Chapter 33: Lost in Paradise?

Luo Yuxi looked out the window, marveling at the divine realm, the place the Church devoted their lives to reaching, a place she had arrived at so easily. She closed the window, realizing the beautiful scenery wouldn’t speed up her resurrection.

“Not admiring the view anymore~?”

“Ah!! You scared me! Goddess, can’t you make any noise when you walk…?”

Luo Yuxi was startled by the girl who had appeared behind her. Not only was she silent, but it was as if she had teleported. But seeing the plate of pastries she was carrying, Luo Yuxi’s annoyance vanished. Divine pastries weren’t something ordinary people could enjoy.

“I brought you some snacks, in case you were bored~”

“Sob, you’re so kind, Goddess. I didn’t expect to have pastries even after death…”

“It’s just some pastries. Eat up. If you get tired of them, tell me, and I’ll bring you something else~”

Luo Yuxi took a bite, and the sweet flavor captivated her. The aroma of milk and the sweetness of some unknown ingredient filled her mouth. She was instantly hooked.

“Mmm… this is so delicious~”

“If you’re tired, you can lie down on the bed and rest. Just ring this bell, and fresh tea will appear~”

The girl demonstrated, ringing a bell on the table. A delicate tea set appeared. Luo Yuxi poured herself a cup of milky white liquid, which, despite its appearance, tasted like black tea.

“So amazing!”

“There are many amazing things in the divine realm. You can experience them all before you’re resurrected~”

The girl clapped her hands, and four or five beautiful girls with wings and halos entered the room. Luo Yuxi stared at them, confused.

“These are my angels. They’ll take good care of you~”

“Th-That’s too much trouble! You’re already helping me with my resurrection!”

Although she protested, Luo Yuxi couldn’t tear her eyes away from the angels. Although angels existed in the game, they rarely appeared, and they were usually fallen angels or half-angels born from the union of humans and angels.

“I didn’t expect to see pure-blooded angels!”

Before Luo Yuxi could finish, the Goddess pulled her onto the bed and offered her a lap pillow. The soft touch of the Goddess’s skin and hair was intoxicating. The angels surrounded her, massaging her legs and shoulders, peeling grapes and feeding them to her. Luo Yuxi felt like royalty.

“Goddess, th-this is too much…!”

Luo Yuxi sat up, almost succumbing to the comfortable sensation. She had initially thought the Goddess was just being kind, but this was excessive.

“Don’t you like it? Is my lap pillow uncomfortable? Or are my angels not attractive enough~?”

“Th-That’s not it… it’s just…”

Luo Yuxi couldn’t bring herself to dislike it, she had almost become addicted. The Goddess, seeing her troubled expression, stood up and whispered in her ear,

“If you don’t dislike it, why not enjoy it~?”

“!!!”

“Just kidding, just kidding. If you don’t like it, I won’t force you. I just wanted you to relax~”

The Goddess waved her hand, and the angels lined up obediently. She walked towards the door.

“I’ll go prepare for your resurrection. It’ll take some time, so just relax, it’ll be fine~”

Luo Yuxi, relieved, watched her leave. Even a simple touch from the Goddess was intoxicating. So this is the being who created me.

“That was terrifying, I almost lost control. Good thing I had special training…”

Luo Yuxi looked at the angels, their long legs and fair skin incredibly alluring. She felt her mouth go dry.

“Maybe the Goddess is just being kind. Just a little bit of relaxation won’t hurt…”

Luo Yuxi stood up and approached the angels. Meanwhile, the Goddess, who hadn’t gone far, watched through a crystal ball. The white figure inside was the Time Witch, who had killed Luo Yuxi.

“These witches can be useful sometimes. The unstable elements are under control. My play should begin~”

The Goddess looked at the crystal, the entire world seemingly under her surveillance. She saw the figure chained to a bed in the Church, her bare feet resting on a pillow. The girl on the bed seemed to sense the Goddess’s gaze.

“My protagonist doesn’t need unnecessary things. It’s time for the plot to begin~”

The Goddess crushed the crystal, infusing the fragments with her power. In a luxurious church, the Word Spirit Saintess knelt before a statue, praying, until a golden divine message appeared.

“Praise be to the Goddess…”

“You are permitted to use your lowly life to perish alongside the Time Witch. The position of Saintess is no longer needed…”

“As you will…”

The Word Spirit Saintess received the divine message, knowing her time had come. She turned, her staff tapping the ground, her eyes empty. She was just a pawn in the Goddess’s game.

“Relay the divine decree, commence the Holy War. The witches, abandoned by the Goddess, must be purged…”

A single decree mobilized the Church’s forces. 700,000 soldiers of the Divine Punishment Army gathered at the border, a sea of armor, their movements like thunder. Healing nuns and Punishment Nuns were also mobilized.

“Senior… I wonder what her expression will be when we meet…”

The Word Spirit Saintess flew towards the border, followed by bishops, even former bishops, five 2nd Order powerhouses, 18 3rd Order, 40 4th Order, 76 5th Order, and countless lower-ranked individuals.

“Let’s see how well my sacrificial lamb can perform~”

The Goddess looked towards a nearby room, as if everything was going according to plan. She heard Luo Yuxi’s moans of pleasure and smiled darkly.

“Where are you, my pretty little angels? Hehe…”

“Come and catch me, customer~”

“Oh my, that was close, almost caught~”

“Customer, don’t just chase them, I’m here too~”

…

The Goddess opened the door and saw Luo Yuxi, blindfolded, playing hide-and-seek with the angels. Her smile widened, imagining Luo Yuxi’s eventual corruption. She composed herself and approached.

“How are you enjoying your relaxation~?”

“G-Goddess!”

Luo Yuxi ripped off the blindfold, and the angels instantly lined up, as if nothing had happened. Luo Yuxi was mortified.

“If I offered you resurrection or continued pleasure, which would you choose~?”

“Which one?”

“Well, the preparations for your resurrection are almost complete~”

“I’m quite happy here, there’s no need to rush my resurrection…”

Luo Yuxi sat back down, practically radiating contentment. The Goddess smiled gently.

“If you don’t want to leave, then stay~”

“Okay…”

Volume 2: Witch Kingdom Arc

Chapter 32: Game Over (Global End)

Long, snow-white hair, a pristine white witch’s hat, clothes of pure white, as if any other color would be a stain. Even having seen her picture before, Luo Yuxi was captivated, unable to look away.

“The river of time has shown me my insignificance. But a nun from the Church seeks time itself…?”

“The Pure White Saintess…”

“Hmm?”

Luo Yuxi blurted out the name, and the girl before her seemed lost in thought for a moment. Luo Yuxi knew she was in trouble.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that name. Ailan… no, is the current Saintess well…?”

“Are you referring to the Word Spirit Saintess…?”

Luo Yuxi carefully chose her words. She had no way to deal with this character from the game’s backstory, a being who controlled time itself.

“Yes, so she’s called the Word Spirit Saintess now…”

The girl looked down, as if pondering, while Luo Yuxi was on high alert. This was a First Order being, after all. Even Second Order witches could move mountains and shatter space. Although the girl looked young, her eyes held an ancient wisdom.

“It seems you’re not fit for the position of Saintess. Time is precious, it shouldn’t be wasted…”

“So you’re going to let me go?!”

“No, I’m going to kill you.”

“???”

The girl raised her hand, clearly not intending to waste any more time. Luo Yuxi panicked, breaking free from Doris’s embrace and jumping down. Since time was frozen, Doris remained suspended in midair.

“Only a fool would wait to be killed!”

[Divine Art: Flash!]

Luo Yuxi cast the spell as she jumped, but it didn’t activate. She couldn’t even slow her fall and crashed into the forest.

Thud!

“Cough!! Ouch! Ouch, ouch…! Eh? I don’t feel any pain?”

“In my domain of time, everything is still. Your divine art was cast, but it has no time to take effect…”

Luo Yuxi looked at the girl before her, wanting to cry. She was just an ant compared to this powerhouse. She had tried to escape, why was she still being pursued?

“C-Can’t you just let me go…?”

“Perhaps I’ve wasted some time, but letting you go would waste even more…”

The girl raised her hand, her expression unreadable. Luo Yuxi, in a desperate attempt, punched her, but without access to her divine arts, her punch was weak and ineffective.

“Futile struggles. Let me show you the difference in our power…”

The girl didn’t even bother defending, simply watching as Luo Yuxi’s fist approached, but instead of hitting her, Luo Yuxi’s hand cupped her breast.

“What are you doing…?”

“So breasts don’t get hard when time is stopped?”

Luo Yuxi squeezed gently, thinking, Might as well take advantage before I die. She used her other hand as well.

“…”

“Can I touch your stomach too…?”

“Go to hell.”

[Unique Magic: Time Vortex]

The girl raised her hand. Luo Yuxi closed her eyes, thinking, I’ve tasted a witch before, maybe I’ll return to my original world after I die. But she felt a pang of regret, remembering the witches and girls from the Church.

“I’ll miss them, I haven’t even tasted all the bishops yet…”

The world resumed its flow. Doris, who had been carrying Luo Yuxi, suddenly felt her arms empty. She looked down, and Luo Yuxi was gone. She stopped abruptly.

“Master! Wait, where is she?! Luo Yuxi!!”

Doris frantically looked around and saw a white-haired witch standing in the forest. Her instincts told her Luo Yuxi’s disappearance was related to her.

“Was it you?!”

[Unique Magic: Full Enhancement]
[Unique Magic: Specific Enhancement]
[Unique Magic: Will Enhancement]
[Unique Magic: Crushing Blow]
[High-Level Wind Magic: Razor Wind]

Doris charged, her fist shattering the forest, creating a lake. But when she looked up, the witch was gone.

“Damn it! Give her back!”

“She’s dead.”

“Then you die too!”

Doris, her voice filled with rage, forgot all about asking for the witch’s identity. Thus, at the border between the Witch Kingdom and the Church, the world’s largest lake system was formed in a single day, drastically altering the local ecosystem. Meanwhile, Luo Yuxi, scattered into fragments by the time vortex, slowly opened her eyes.

“Ugh… where am I? I think I died, am I back in my original world?”

Luo Yuxi sat up in bed, looking around. This wasn’t her room from before she transmigrated. But then again, her old apartment was probably a crater now. If she went back, she would probably be dissected.

“So I’m not back. Where is this? Wait, could it be…?!”

Luo Yuxi jumped off the bed, touching the soft mattress, looking at the luxurious furniture, then out the window at the clouds below, as if she were in the sky.

“*Did I transmigrate again? What kind of game is this? It looks like a peaceful retirement simulator. Great, a new life!~”

Luo Yuxi cheered, then saw her reflection in a nearby mirror: her familiar pink hair and eyes, her alluring figure, her lewd nun’s habit.

“Wait, shouldn’t I have a new character after transmigrating? Why do I still look the same?!”

“Oh, you’re awake~”

“What?! Someone’s here!!”

“Don’t worry, you didn’t transmigrate, you just died~”

Luo Yuxi looked at the girl sitting in a chair, her white clothes glowing with divine light. She looked like a powerful being.

“Goddess! Help me!!!”

“Oh my, you recognized me before I even introduced myself?”

Luo Yuxi prostrated herself, thinking, With your statues everywhere, how could I not? But was this the same Goddess who had sent her here? She seemed different.

“Your body was torn apart by time magic, that’s why your resurrection magic didn’t work. I’m quite busy lately, so please stay here for a few days. I’ll resurrect you~”

“All hail the Goddess!”

Luo Yuxi looked at the Goddess’s gentle smile, thinking, So I know a god. When she returned to her original world, not only could she be resurrected, but she would also have divine protection. She would be invincible!

“Alright, wait here, I’ll prepare for your resurrection. Be careful next time, don’t die~”

“Yes, yes!”

Luo Yuxi nodded eagerly, already planning her revenge on the Time Witch. She would not only grope her breasts but also “educate” her thoroughly. Die, resurrect, and then repeat. As she fantasized, she didn’t notice the Goddess’s expression darken after closing the door.

“Her followers are so easy to deceive~”

Volume 2: Witch Kingdom Arc

Chapter 31: Golden Legend

Luo Yuxi looked at the text on the panel, her previous caution thrown to the wind as the surrounding rubble sank into the ground.

[Gluttony Witch x1]

“…”

Luo Yuxi looked at the little loli she had unearthed, unsure how to react. She tried to put her back, but seeing her large, innocent eyes staring at her curiously, she knew it wouldn’t work. Dorolo, sensing her predicament, asked,

“Hello, do you have anything to eat…?”

“Uh…”

Luo Yuxi’s mind raced, although she maintained a calm facade.

“She’s talking! She asked for food! Should I tell the truth? If I say no, will she eat me?”

As Luo Yuxi panicked, the hat on Dorolo’s head gnashed its teeth, as if anticipating a meal.

“Eat! Eat!! Eat the delicious one!!”

“Big sister, you look familiar…”

Dorolo tilted her head, as if trying to remember where she had seen Luo Yuxi before. But just as people sometimes forget what they ate yesterday, Dorolo couldn’t remember the things she had consumed.

“I forgot, but you smell so good…”

“Wh-What smells good…?”

Luo Yuxi wanted to run, but remembering Dorolo’s tentacles, she froze. As she was thinking of a way out, a tentacle slithered up her arm.

“!!!”

“Mmm… such a familiar scent. When did I eat this before…?”

The tentacle, like a tongue licking a lollipop, explored Luo Yuxi’s arm. Luo Yuxi, terrified, couldn’t move.

“D-Don’t eat me…”

Luo Yuxi looked at Dorolo, afraid she would lift her skirt and reveal the monstrous tentacles beneath, turning Luo Yuxi into nutrients.

“I am a bit hungry…”

“!!!”

Dorolo, instead of eating Luo Yuxi, looked at the unconscious succubus. She walked over to her hat, picked it up, put it back on, and then approached the succubus. Luo Yuxi didn’t understand what she was planning.

“That’s… Ruo Li’s familiar…”

Dorolo lifted her skirt, and dozens of tentacles emerged. As Luo Yuxi watched in horror, the succubus, moaning in pleasure, was dragged into the darkness beneath the skirt.

“Just magic, not tasty…”

“Not tasty, not tasty!!”

Dorolo stuck out her tongue, her hat echoing her sentiment. She turned to Luo Yuxi, and a single glance conveyed her intentions.

“Can I have a bite~?”

“!!!”

[Divine Art: Holy Flame]
[Divine Art: Heal]

Luo Yuxi’s body burst into white flames, the soul-burning fire offering a sense of security.

“Stay away from me!”

“Hmm? Just one finger? Is that okay~?”

Dorolo approached, her hat’s teeth glinting, tentacles emerging from her clothes, her cute loli facade gone. Luo Yuxi remembered enjoying Dorolo’s tentacle scenes in the game and mentally facepalmed.

“No! Don’t come any closer! Help! Doris!!”

[Unique Magic: Crushing Blow]

BAM!!!

A loud explosion echoed through the air. Ruo Li, who had almost fully transformed into her demonic form, was punched into a nearby mountain, the force of the blow creating a tunnel through it. A flash of white light, and Dorolo was sent flying, a long trail etched into the ground.

“Stay… away… from… her…”

Luo Yuxi looked at the girl standing before her, her glowing white hair, her blood-red eyes, the familiar furry ears on her head. She hesitantly called out,

“Doris?”

“Don’t look at me, Master…”

“Wait, why are you—?”

Doris charged at Dorolo again, her power preventing Dorolo from approaching. Luo Yuxi, usually wary of Doris, now felt a sense of safety from her presence.

“What the heck, this feeling of security, I almost fell for it…”

[Divine Art: Sensory Enhancement]

Luo Yuxi cast a minor buff on Doris. She no longer cared about searching the ruins, finding another witch would be a disaster. Why didn’t they just crawl out themselves?

“Doris! Stop fighting her! Use your speed and get me out of here!”

Doris, as if hearing her plea, blasted Dorolo away. Ruo Li, having recovered, joined the fight. Even Doris, nearing First Order, couldn’t handle two Deadly Sins at once.

“Traitors should be prepared to be eliminated…”

“If you can eliminate me, then go ahead~”

“You!”

Ruo Li glared at Doris, who was now showing her beastly traits, then chuckled. Dorolo emerged from the smoke, unharmed by the previous attack.

“I really dislike you and Greed the most…”

Doris also found Dorolo troublesome. Her devouring ability, unlike Herolise’s absorption and release, permanently added the consumed power to her own, making her stronger with each bite.

“I’m leaving, who can stop me~?”

Doris grabbed Luo Yuxi and, in a flash of white light, tried to escape.

“Where are you going, my Master~?”

“Back to the Witch Capital, get Yun Keke and Yu Keke, we can’t stay in the Witch Kingdom anymore…”

“As you wish~”

Ruo Li tried to chase after them, but even at her top speed, she couldn’t catch up. Luo Yuxi, watching the scenery blur, finally relaxed. She was about to discuss her plan when everything froze.

“Doris?”

“…”

Luo Yuxi called out, but Doris remained motionless, as if frozen in time. Luo Yuxi realized it wasn’t Doris who had stopped, but the world around them.

“You seem to be looking for something, or someone? A nun from the Church…”

Luo Yuxi felt a chill run down her spine as she heard the voice.
