The Goddess, Please Devour the Evil Deity!-Chapter 47Vol 1. : The Dependents of Heaven, the Ghost Bird with a Thousand Faces

In this mission to search for the God-given daughter,

Marshal Shestira's greatest worry was the involvement of high-ranking fallen beasts.

It was known that the three highest-ranking Heaven's Decree Knights of the Alliance, due to their engagement with the Celestial Clan, were tied up on the northern battlefront.

Although Shestira's troops possessed formidable firepower, without the participation of a Heaven's Decree Knight, facing a Clan-level fallen beast would be disastrous.

For this reason, the search operation led by Shestira was always cautious, fearing to provoke the monsters of the Enigmatic Abyss.

Indeed,

They had not provoked the monsters of the Enigmatic Abyss.

But those eyeing the God-given daughter were not only from the Earth Clan...

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~”

The wind howled,

As a terrifying curse spread, the temperature in the air dropped sharply, making the atmosphere oppressive and heavy.

Feeling the terrifying fluctuation of aura, Shestira's face drastically changed, and she along with her soldiers abruptly looked up,

Only to see a strange current of air swirling upward, dark shadows rapidly gathering in the sky as if the entire sky was being torn apart. Soon after, a massive figure descended from the sky like a demon from myth, bringing with it an indescribable oppressive force.

“Damn...”

Staring at the figure in the sky, Shestira clenched her fists bitterly.

At this moment,

What Shestira saw was a massive bird-like fallen beast.

Its body was pale, its skin dry and ashen like that of a corpse, emitting a rotten aura as if it had crawled out from the depths of hell.

Its two sets of wings were enormous, covering the entire sky when spread, casting dark shadows that enveloped all living beings nearby. However, instead of feathers, its wings seemed to be made up of countless decaying, grotesque human faces, twisted in pain, with their mouths slightly open as if wailing. The eyes of these human faces were filled with fear and pain, their wrinkles and blood intermingling to create a disturbing visage that was difficult to look directly at.

The bird's head of the fallen beast was even more horrifying, with a huge beak that radiated coldness, sharp as a blade. On its head, numerous tentacles writhed, each ending in a twisted, deformed human head. These heads had hollow eyes as if they had lost all life, yet they were filled with malice like the eyes of the dead, their mouths open in a silent scream, as if begging for help yet also cursing.

When this terrifying fallen beast arrived,

It brought not only suffocating cursed oppression but also endless terror. The air itself seemed to tremble due to its presence, causing even the battle-hardened soldiers nearby to have their hearts race uncontrollably, their faces pale, making it difficult even to breathe.

Not just the soldiers,

Even Marshal Shestira herself instinctively trembled.

Hein Anlosi!!

You bastard!!

You intentionally used the Valkyrie squad to lure this monster here?!

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net, it has been stolen.

A strong atmosphere of unease began to spread through the military like a virus.

...

Staring at the suddenly arriving monstrous bird, Aeria instinctively stepped back, a sense of unease growing in her cherry-colored eyes. Mia and Vya, needless to say, teared up at the sight of this terrifying aura.

Noticing her sisters' emotional changes, Aeria gripped their small hands even tighter.

"It's okay, your sister is here..."

After soothing them, Aeria looked forward tremblingly.

"What in the world is this?"

"The Thousand-faced Ghost Bird."

Hein said lightly.

Compared to the shocked and fearful people around him, Hein appeared much calmer. Not only that, but his smile even became more sinister, causing Aeria to feel a sense of strangeness and unease.

"Thousand-faced Ghost Bird?"

"Yes, or Thousand-faced Bird, if you will... A clan-level fallen beast, a vassal of the Sky Evil God Ulu Ti."

"Sky Evil God? Clan-level?"

Muttering the terms Hein had just mentioned, Aeria asked in confusion:

"Why would a vassal of the Sky Evil God appear here?"

However,

As Aeria spoke, before Hein could respond, she was already subjected to the gaze of the Thousand-faced Bird.

It was a chilling, bone-piercing gaze, as if piercing through the air, directly targeting Aeria and the twins.

The dark eyes held not a trace of human warmth, only unfathomable darkness. Each glance seemed to tear at her soul, filled with intense oppression and undeniable malice.

The moment she was locked under its gaze, Aeria felt a chill rush from her spine to her limbs, her body involuntarily beginning to tremble. The fear was like a cold wind in the darkness, silently seeping into every inch of her skin, eroding her reason and courage. Her heart raced uncontrollably, as if it could be crushed by this oppressive force at any moment, and the feeling of being unable to breathe nearly suffocated her.

Though the curse released by the Thousand-faced Bird was not as overwhelming as that of Gaia Lobil, the malice and evil emanating from its soul were even more intense.

As Aeria felt overwhelmed by fear,

The Thousand-faced Bird slightly narrowed its eyes,

And from those eerie dark eyes, a trace of excitement spilled out.

The next moment,

Under the nervous gaze of many, the bird's head connected to a human head quietly spoke:

—"Lolololo~ Found you~"—

This monster?!

It's coming for us!!

Hearing this, Aeria's fear escalated to the point where she became immobilized.

At that moment,

With a wicked smile, Hein quickly released his spiritual power while everyone's attention was focused on the Thousand-faced Bird, and enveloped himself and the Aeria sisters in it.

Immediately after,

Hein, holding Aeria and the twins, suddenly turned into a blue comet and dashed towards the distance.

"Uncle Hein?!!"

"Don't ask too much, my dear Aeria, the most important thing now is to get out of here."

"This..."

...

On the other side,

Seeing Hein escaping with his target, one of the Thousand-faced Bird's heads slowly opened its mouth, revealing a chilling smile.

"Lolol? Thinking of escaping?"

A human at the Heaven's Martial realm,

Thinking of escaping with his target?

Overestimating oneself...

After disdainfully narrowing its eyes, the Thousand-faced Bird suddenly spread its wings.

With a massive flap in the air, the originally drooping wings rapidly unfurled.

With a loud cry, the Thousand-faced Bird suddenly pounced into the sky, its huge bird head looking down, its wings like blades swinging, bringing a fierce wind that swept over everything. Its target was locked on Hein and the Aeria sisters, the scent of death approaching rapidly like thunder.

However,

Just as the Thousand-faced Bird was about to pursue, a powerful burst of spiritual power suddenly exploded around it.

"Hmm?"

Following this, the sky around was suddenly broken by a deafening roar.

The army, briefly dazed by the arrival of the Thousand-faced Bird, finally launched a counterattack, dense artillery fire suddenly erupted from the ground, heavy shells tearing through the air with a force that smashed head-on into the Thousand-faced Bird. The explosions were deafening, the intense light and fire mingling like a terrifying storm of hell.

"Release all firepower!! Stop that monster!!"

Pointing her sword directly at the Thousand-faced Bird,

Seemingly having made a certain resolution, Marshal Shestira, in this moment, issued the attack command with all her might.
