God-Tier Providence System-Chapter 78

"At the same time, she is also my first sworn sister."

"What?!" Knox’s expression drastically changed. "She... she is Princess Flower?"

"How did she become such an unhuman, ghostly monstrosity?"

Aurelia shot Knox a deadly glare. "Young Master Knox, please watch your words."

"Nyx suffered mental derangement back then in order to protect the Heavenly Flame Dynasty. She is not some unhuman monstrosity."

"...Yes." Knox said awkwardly, "What I meant is... Princess Flower is indeed a hero of the Heavenly Flame Dynasty, without a doubt."

"But what does this have to do with me exacting my revenge?"

"With Princess Flower in her current state, she simply can’t accompany me to take revenge..."

"That is not necessarily true." Aurelia stroked Nyx’s hair and smiled faintly.

"Over these past thirty years, although Nyx’s mental state has grown increasingly deranged, her cultivation base has grown by the day."

"Right now, her cultivation has reached the fifth level of the Supreme Realm."

Knox froze slightly. He turned his head to look at Nyx again. He couldn’t help but swallow hard, a massive wave of shock surging in his heart.

Fifth level of the Supreme Realm.

This meant that in the Heavenly Flame Dynasty, her strength was second only to Aurelia. Below one person, but above ten thousand. You cannot judge a person by their appearance, just as you cannot measure the sea with a cup.

"Nyx not only possesses a profound cultivation base, but she also suffered severe aftereffects from the Sixty-Year Demon Purge." Aurelia murmured.

"As long as she senses the aura of a demonic cultivator, she will become bloodthirsty, brutal, and slaughter people like flies."

"Alex’s Rakshasa Saint Body, as well as the Rakshasa Water and Fire Art he cultivates, both evolved from demonic arts."

"Although he is of the human race, he is equivalent to half a demonic cultivator."

"As long as Nyx catches his scent, she will transform into a tyrannical wild beast and tear him to shreds."

Knox’s face instantly lit up with joy.

"Your Majesty, this move is truly brilliant!"

"Princess Flower is a madwoman. Even if she causes some disaster, the people of the world will not think it was under your instruction."

"Having her kill Alex is simply too perfect!"

Knox’s blunt, overly utilitarian words made Aurelia very uncomfortable. But she still retrieved a bell from her robes and handed it to him.

"Nyx’s actions are not controlled by her own consciousness. This Soul-Tethering Bell is the only thing that can command her."

"If you encounter a critical, life-or-death moment, shake it three times, and Nyx will retreat alongside you."

Aurelia’s expression turned solemn. "Nyx became like this for the sake of protecting the Heavenly Flame Dynasty."

"I cherish her more than any of my other sworn sisters."

"So today, although I am letting Nyx help you exact your revenge..."

"...You must guarantee that you will bring Nyx back to me safely. Can you do that?"

"I can!" Knox didn’t hesitate for a single second.

His heart was already blooming with wild joy. He had secretly analyzed his past failures. Previously, he had repeatedly tried to get revenge but failed every single time.

The main reason was not his own lack of ability. It was that the helpers he found always dropped the ball at the most critical moments.

From Isolde, who lost Alex’s favor and was stripped of her Seven Orifices Divine Heart.

To Iris, Lily, and Selene, who not only failed to deal with Alex but ended up offering their supreme treasures on a silver platter.

Plus Leo, who defected before the battle even began and backstabbed him.

If he just had a slightly more reliable helper, he would have succeeded long ago.

Now, with Nyx. A literal killing machine specifically wired to slaughter demonic cultivators.

Alex, your time of death has finally come.

...

Late at night. The bright moon hung high in the sky.

Alex rode his auspicious cloud, carrying Joanna as they soared beneath the veil of night. Brushed by the cool evening breeze, Joanna slowly woke from her unconscious state.

"Saint Lord, where... where are we..."

"Joanna, you’re finally awake." Alex smiled faintly.

"Earlier in the Thousand Poisons Demon Cave, you were sneak-attacked by Knox and took a heavy palm strike."

"I have already gone to the Heavenly Flame Empress to demand an explanation and seek justice for you."

"Do not speak too much. Quickly circulate your spiritual energy and absorb your new power."

"New power?" Joanna froze slightly and looked inward at her own body.

Seeing her internal organs and all eight extraordinary meridians completely shrouded in a dark green luster, she was instantly shocked.

"The... the Innate Poison King Saint Body?!"

"Saint Lord, how... how is this inside my body?!"

Alex smiled faintly but didn’t answer.

Joanna soon discovered that a fiery, scorching medicinal power was flowing within her Dantian. Emitting a fire-like red glow.

"The Millennium Blood Gathering Ginseng?!" Joanna said in absolute shock.

"Such majestic medicinal power is enough for a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to break through a minor realm!"

"Saint Lord, with my meager Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, if I absorb such strong medicinal power, my body will explode!"

"Relax, it won’t." Alex waved his hand and chuckled.

"If there was truly that level of danger, I wouldn’t have poured it into your body."

"Put your mind at ease. Just focus on absorbing it well."

Joanna nodded blankly and began to concentrate.

Soon, she was amazed to discover the results.

Not only did her cultivation skyrocket from the Foundation Establishment Realm straight to the Core Formation Realm, breaking through an entire major realm, but surrounding her Dantian was a faint layer of blue, misty light.

This blue light, pure and gentle like moonlight, bathed the inside and outside of her Dantian.

It completely neutralized the originally tyrannical medicinal power of the Millennium Blood Gathering Ginseng, allowing her to absorb it steadily without the slightest hindrance.

Joanna was stunned for a long time before she finally found the source of this moonlight spiritual energy. She reached up to the top of her head and touched the unfamiliar hairpin resting among her hair.
