The Goddess, Please Devour the Evil Deity!-Chapter 49Vol 1. : An Uninvited Guest Who Broke into the Presidential Palace
At the Presidential Palace in the Western Siwa Alliance capital of Kravino,
President Labik of the Western Siwa Alliance was solemnly gazing at the urgent intelligence report handed to him by his secretary.
"Sky Evil God's kin... the Thousand-faced Bird, appearing at this time, fuck..."
Upon reading the intelligence, the normally gentlemanly Labik couldn't help but curse out loud, crumpling the report in his hand and throwing it into the fire, where it turned to ashes.
Initially pleased upon learning that Aeria and her sisters had been found, the appearance of the Thousand-faced Bird immediately plunged his mood into the depths.
Uluti, that monster, was indeed seizing this opportunity.
She must be aiming to take advantage of the situation to eliminate Liana and her children and take control of the Sacred Stone.
No,
This cannot be allowed to happen!
With this thought, Labik immediately activated his communicator to contact the Minister of Defense.
"Bonar! Have you seen the urgent report? The Thousand-faced Bird has attacked Shestira's troops, and Aeria and the others are there! Contact the Heaven’s Decree Knights immediately, anyone will do, get them back here to support!"
Labik's words carried an unmistakable authority.
As someone who had been on the battlefield and faced a kin-tier fallen beast head-on, Labik was acutely aware of the horror of the Thousand-faced Bird. Without the main offensive power of the Heaven’s Decree Knights, Shestira’s troops had no chance of defeating the Thousand-faced Bird.
Considering the distance from the national border, hoping to delay until Aeria and her sisters reached a safe zone was also wishful thinking.
"Those children, they must not be harmed!"
However,
Bonar, normally obedient to Labik, hesitated unusually this time.
"Mr. President, this, I'm afraid, might be difficult."
"What?"
Hearing this response, Labik immediately had a bad premonition.
"Has something happened? Could it be the north..."
"Yes, you're not wrong. The defensive line in the Northern Matar Mountains, just now... has been massively attacked by the Sky kin. Three kin-tier fallen beasts, fifty-eight blood-curse tier fallen beasts... and the number of common fallen beasts is even harder to estimate."
"..."
"Now, our four Heaven’s Decree Knights are fighting those monsters in a blood battle... they simply have no spare forces to come back and support."
"The attack by the Sky kin? Damn Uluti, she’s doing this to tie down the Heaven’s Decree Knights, to keep them from supporting."
"Mr. President, what about asking for help from Qingyun Country? They currently have no battle situation."
Bonar made his suggestion.
However, it was immediately dismissed by Labik:
"It’s too late, too far. Moreover, Madam Liana just offended Qingyun Country, whether that vengeful, incompetent king will be willing to help is a question. We need to think of another way."
At that moment,
Staring at the map on the wall, Labik's mind raced, pondering how to resolve this crisis.
"Bonar, send the troops from the nearby Green Grass Base."
"Green Grass Base? Mr. President, are you joking? That’s a training camp for new recruits! Those young people have never even encountered fallen beasts, this is sending them to their deaths!"
"They can at least fire weapons, right? At least they can mobilize spiritual power, right? If they can do that, they can buy us some time. Besides..."

His eyes narrowing slightly, a cruel glint passed through Labik's gaze.
"The Thousand-faced Bird got its name because that monster... likes to collect faces. Especially those beautiful and filled with extreme fear..."
"You, you mean..."
Seemingly guessing Labik's thought, a hint of fear crept into Bonar's voice.
"Don't ask too much, just do it. Compared to those recruits, Aeria and her sisters are our country’s future."
Labik said sternly.
Seeing the President's determined mind, Bonar no longer argued and respectfully complied:
"Yes, Mr. President."
...
After ending the call with Bonar, Labik let out a heavy sigh.
Although Labik always considered himself a person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, the thought of sending thousands of new recruits to their deaths still filled him with a heavy sense of guilt.
Moreover,
If so many new recruits were to die, his support among voters would probably be beyond salvation.
Thinking this, Labik shook his head and bitterly smiled.

However, this was not what worried Labik the most.
He feared that even with those thousands of new recruits, they might not be able to hold off the Thousand-faced Bird. The kin of the Sky Evil God always had extraordinary speed, and the Thousand-faced Bird might easily massacre those recruits and then rush to kill Aeria and her sisters.
"We must, find some reinforcements from somewhere else. No matter what, we have to hold off that monster."
However, just as Labik was muttering to himself while staring at the map, an unexpected, magnetic voice suddenly entered his ears without warning.
——"The Thousand-faced Bird is best at indiscriminate wide-area attacks. No matter how many regular troops are sent, it won't make any difference."——
Who?!
Realizing that an unexpected guest had suddenly arrived in his office, Labik quickly summoned his spiritual power, and turned around alertly to look behind him.
"It’s you!"
As he recognized the face of the newcomer, Labik’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
Before him stood a man with extraordinary presence, his fiery red hair slightly disheveled yet sharp, giving off a wild and unrestrained air. His attire, a black leather coat with a noble white fur collar, was both stern and elegant.
His deep red eyes, like the abyss, stared at everything around him with an arrogant and cold haughtiness. His gaze was sharp as a blade, seemingly able to pierce through anything, yet within those eyes, there was an unmistakable deterrent force and oppressiveness.
Just meeting the man’s gaze for a moment, Labik instinctively felt a wave of fear.
At that moment,
The man casually sat on the sofa, legs crossed, with his fingers intertwined resting on his chest, his demeanor seemingly casual yet filled with restrained authority.
"Mo An De-Samkrozi, what are you doing here?"
Staring at the red-haired man, Labik asked seriously.
"Don’t be so tense, Mr. President, I come here with no ill intentions,"
Mo An De replied with a smile.
"What are you here for then?"
"It seems your country is facing some minor problems, so I thought I’d come and offer some help."
"Help?"
Labik squinted suspiciously.
"Yes, help. I’m sure you understand that against a kin-tier fallen beast like the Thousand-faced Bird, no amount of regular troops will suffice. Blood-curse tier can be suppressed with firepower, but kin-tier? Only humans at the Returnee level can contend."
"So what are you suggesting?"
"You don’t need to send those soldiers to their deaths. I can take care of the Thousand-faced Bird for you."
"What?!"
Labik looked at Mo An De in disbelief.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course."
Facing the skeptical gaze, Mo An De elegantly returned a smile.
"Fallen beasts are our common enemy, as humans, what’s wrong with helping each other? Besides, I haven’t exercised in a while, it might be good to use that monster for a bit of practice, otherwise I’ll get rusty, heh."
Using a kin-tier like the Thousand-faced Bird for practice, any ordinary person saying this would immediately be deemed insane by Labik.
But when Mo An De said it, Labik had no doubts,
He was well aware of how terrifyingly powerful the man before him was.
If it was him,
He could indeed quickly reach the battlefield and drive off, or even kill, the Thousand-faced Bird.
However,
After hearing Mo An De’s words, Labik felt no relief but continued to stare seriously at Mo An De.
"What do you want?"
He knew that these people would never offer something for nothing.
"Heh."
Seeing Labik's straightforwardness, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Mo An De’s eyes.
He liked talking with smart people.
"We just want to make a deal with you, Mr. President~"
