The Goddess, Please Devour the Evil Deity!-Chapter 53Vol 1. : Strange Blood-Colored Pupils
From the moment the deep blue spiritual force pierced through Vya's delicate and frail body, it rapidly receded back into Hein's hand.
Along with the spiritual force, a small gem-like object emitting a faint orange-red light also returned to his hand. It was Vya’s nascent core that had just begun to form.
“......”
Looking at the core in his hand, an object countless people yearned for, containing the power of the Divine Decree, Hein’s expression turned complex.
Strange,
Why has it progressed so much?
--
On the other side, after losing her core, Vya’s body trembled slightly.
Looking down at her continuously bleeding chest, the little girl's expression first registered shock, then gradually became vacant.
She staggered, then her legs gave out, and she collapsed weakly to the ground.
The crimson blood quickly spread across the floor, resembling a sinister blood flower. Her orange eyes gradually lost their sparkle, the vitality in her gaze replaced by a stark emptiness, as if her soul had been extracted at that moment.
"Wuwu? Vya, Vya?"
Mia, with her innocent big eyes, stared blankly at her twin sister lying on the ground.
The air was thick with the scent of blood, but the three-year-old couldn’t comprehend what all of this meant. She gently knelt down, shaking her sister's shoulders with her tender little hands, softly calling out.
"Vya, get up, don’t sleep, it's cold on the ground... come on, get up. If you're all muddy, I won’t hug you."
However,
No matter how much she shook her, Vya remained unresponsive, lying there lifelessly. Mia’s movements became increasingly frantic, her small hands exerting more force, and the panic on her face grew clearer. Her voice, trembling with a hint of shake, grew louder:
"Vya, no, don’t ignore me... I'll give you a hug, next time I'll give all the chocolates to you, just don’t ignore me..."
Mia continued to shake Vya's body.
Although she still called out her sister’s name, something in Mia seemed to realize the grim reality. The little girl's tears began to flow freely, breaking the surrounding silence with her mournful and desperate crying.
The crying was filled with helplessness and fear...
On the other side,
Staring intently at her sister on the ground, Aeria's body shook uncontrollably. Although she did not cry out like Vya, tears slowly slid down her cheeks.
Her heart felt as if it was being torn apart, the acute pain striking deep.
Mom is dead,
Teacher is dead,
And now Vya too...
Why, why is this happening?
She whispered desperately in her heart.
Amidst her despair and sorrow, an overwhelming rage and hatred also rapidly spread within Aeria. In the next moment, disregarding the terrifying spiritual pressure around her, Aeria turned her head, fixing her gaze on Hein.
After a moment, she gritted her teeth and spoke a few words,
"Why?"
"Why? Heh~" Hein scoffed derisively.
"After all this, you still ask that question? If you had been honest, I wouldn't have needed to resort to this with the kid."
Saying this, Hein stepped toward Aeria.
"However, you should feel fortunate. I simply extracted this girl's core, giving her a quick end. Others might not have been so kind. To ensure the core’s integrity, they probably would choose to dissect her, haha."
"Ensure the core's integrity? What, what are you talking about?"
"Hmm? Liana didn’t tell you about this?"
Hein tilted his head slightly in confusion, but then he relaxed and chuckled:
"Well, perhaps Liana might not know so much... Never mind, you don't need to know either. All you need to understand now is, if you don’t tell me where your mother is, your other sister will end up the same."
"You’re doing this, aren’t you afraid that grandfather will be angry?"
"Father?"
Hearing this, Hein snorted contemptuously:
"Everything I’m doing now is at the command of your beloved grandfather. How could he possibly be angry?"
"How, how could..."
Aeria's gaze became vacant, overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of loss and despair.

Grandfather,
This was all ordered by grandfather?
Why? Why? Why exactly?
"It can’t be like this..."
"Why not? Your grandfather has never been a benevolent man. Hmm, strictly speaking, he isn’t really your grandfather. Ah, never mind, discussing this now is pointless."
Saying that, Hein pointed his hand toward Mia, who was crying beside Vya’s body.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net, it has been stolen.
Although he disdained killing children, to find Liana, he wouldn't mind killing another.
Nothing was more important than bringing Liana back!
"The only thing I care about is where your mother is hiding. If you don't want to lose another sister, tell me where Liana is hiding!"
"My mother really is gone!"
Overwhelmed by the blows she had suffered, the little girl's emotions nearly collapsed, and she let out a hysterical roar.
However,
Aeria's crying did not evoke any sympathy from Hein.
Instead, it was met with Hein's cold indifference,
"Is that so? Since you're still stubborn, don't blame me then."
The next moment,
Deep blue spiritual energy concentrated at Hein's fingertips under his control.
Seeing this,
Recalling the scene of Vya being pierced through the chest just moments ago, Aeria let out a distraught roar.
She couldn't allow that scene to replay.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!"
The girl screamed with all her might.
Simultaneously, a powerful force swept out from within Aeria. It was the Divine Decree's power, surging and pure, scattering like a raging tide in a cherry blossom hue. The intense aura caused the air around to stagnate, the ground to crack, and debris to fly.
To protect her sisters, Aeria unleashed all her power without reservation.
Amid the swirling winds, the cherry-colored Divine Decree's power howled towards Hein.
Driven by intense anxiety, anger, and sadness, Aeria unleashed the most powerful attack of her nine years, seemingly breaking through her own limits in that instant.
However,
Reality was brutally harsh.
Although Aeria unleashed powerful potential in her grief, her strength, merely at the second or third tier, could not match Hein, who possessed high-tier Heavenly Martial Realm power.
“Tch...”
Glancing at the oncoming cherry-colored energy, Hein dismissively waved his hand.
With just such a casual wave, Aeria’s all-out attack, which had drained all her strength, was torn apart into myriad points of light by Hein, dissipating into nothingness.
“Boring.”
“How can this be...”
Watching this unfold, an exhausted Aeria despaired, helpless and completely drained, kneeling on the ground.
Why has it come to this...
She had risked taking her sisters out of the Enigmatic Abyss, wasn’t it just to bring them home, to let them grow up safely under the protection of their grandfather and uncles?
And now?
Home?
Uncle? Grandfather?
Heh, heh heh...
Had she known it would end up like this, it would have been better not to have escaped at all.
The girl was filled with regret.
...
On the other side, after dispersing Aeria's attack, Hein merely glanced at Aeria kneeling on the ground and then redirected his attention towards where Mia was. An uncontrollable murderous intent spilled from him.
Actually,
Even if Aeria had disclosed Liana's whereabouts, he hadn't planned to spare Mia.
The Anlosi family’s true purpose in wanting the twins back was for the immature cores within them. Although immature, these cores contained potent Divine Decree power. Moreover, at this stage, the cores could technically be transplanted, allowing the host to harness the power of the Divine Decree.
This was the real reason many were after the twins.
With current technology, only cores in the early stages of formation could be successfully transplanted. Normally, the twins' cores would enter the mid-stage around seven or eight years old.
That meant, before then, extracting the cores posed no issue.
But what surprised Hein,
The core he had just extracted from Vya was already showing signs of entering the mid-stage? Had Liana accelerated the core’s formation to protect her daughters?
Hein couldn't help but speculate.
If Vya’s core was like this, could Mia’s be the same? Thus, to prevent the core from entering the less transplantable mid-stage, Hein decided to extract it early.
With such thoughts, Hein began to gather spiritual energy at his fingertips again.
However,
When he looked back towards Mia, the second son of the Anlosi family suddenly froze.
?!!!
What is that?!
He was shocked to find that a strange plant had appeared beside Mia at some point. It was a huge flower, its petals as soft as black silk, yet emitting a cold and sinister aura. The petals opened layer by layer, revealing the bizarre center—a giant crimson eyeball...
That eyeball stared unblinkingly at Hein, its gaze cold, emotionless, yet chilling to the soul.
Hein's usually composed expression instantly stiffened, his pupils contracting slightly under an indescribable pressure. The air around the flower seemed to thicken, suffocating, each strand of red light seeming to pierce his skin, seeping into the marrow of his bones.
The eyeball made no movements, merely floating quietly, yet Hein felt as if he was being clawed at the heart by the talons of an abyssal monster.
Without time to think, Hein’s spiritual power exploded.
Under the escort of his spiritual power, he instinctively leaped backward, his
figure turning into a dark shadow that streaked a hundred meters away, distancing himself from the eerie flower.
"What the hell is that?! Where did it come from!"
For a moment, countless questions surged in Hein’s mind.
However,
The next instant, Hein had no energy left to ponder this question.
Because as he landed and quickly adjusted his stance, readying his guarded gaze back on the bizarre flower, Hein was stunned to find... the eerie flower had vanished?
In its place stood a figure that Hein had longed for day and night, a blue silhouette.
At the sight of that figure, Hein's mouth suddenly split into a wide, ecstatic smile.
“Liana!!!!!! You finally decided to show yourself, ah ah ah ah!!!!”
