The Goddess, Please Devour the Evil Deity!-Chapter 63Vol 1. : Protect Us, So We Can Grow Up Healthy and Safe
"After winning the Redemption Game, I should be able to make a wish, right? Now, I’ve decided what wish I want to make." Aeria said seriously as she stared directly into Bai Lianyue's eyes.
Of course, mixed with her seriousness was an unavoidable hint of nervousness.
Little Aeria clenched her fists, standing there earnestly, lost in thought.
"A wish?"
Bai Lianyue softly repeated the word, blinking in slight confusion.
Indeed.
For this girl, who helped Bai Lianyue maintain her emotions and suppress her beastly instincts, Bai Lianyue was eager for Aeria to make her wish so that they could form a soul contract as soon as possible.
By doing so, Bai Lianyue would establish a soul connection with Aeria, binding her firmly to her side, ensuring that she would never have to worry about Aeria running away again.
However, considering the Evil God’s notorious reputation, and the fact that she had killed Aeria’s mother, Bai Lianyue didn’t think Aeria would make the wish so easily.
Initially,
The Earth Evil God had been contemplating various ways to coerce Aeria into making a wish, like "sending a dream from a family member" or "using the candy lure method"...
However, before Bai Lianyue could implement these "high-level tactics,"
This girl had proposed it on her own?
This left Bai Lianyue slightly puzzled.
"You little one... Are you serious?"
"Yes, I am serious." Aeria nodded solemnly.
In her pink eyes, there was nothing but seriousness and resolve.
She wasn’t joking.
Earlier, Aeria wanted to escape from the Enigmatic Abyss mainly to create a safe place for her sister to grow up. At that time, Aeria had always believed that her maternal grandfather’s family—the Anlosi family—would be that place.
However,
After everything that had happened in the past few hours, Aeria sadly and disappointedly realized... her grandfather's family might not be as friendly as she had imagined. Like the government of the Western Siwa Alliance and other powerful forces... they also sought to acquire the power within Aeria and her sisters.
Though the power inside them was a gift from the heavens, in the present world, power was the source of misfortune.
Moreover,
It wasn’t just humans who were after them; the Evil God’s forces were also targeting them.
Remembering the chilling murderous intent from the Thousand-Faced Crow, Aeria couldn’t help but shudder.
Humans wanted their cores, and the Evil God’s forces wanted to eliminate them as threats.
And they?
They were just weak children... completely powerless to resist these terrifying forces.
Aeria refused to accept that their lives would end like this.
So,
For Aeria now, there was only one choice to survive...
"Teacher Bronny told me earlier that the wish from the Redemption Game lasts for ten years. Is that right?"
"Yes, ten years."
Bai Lianyue nodded affirmatively.
"So, your wish is...?"
"For the next ten years, protect my sister and me... so that we can grow up smoothly, safely, and healthily."
Aeria said seriously.
The reason she and her sisters had encountered so many dangers was simply that they were too weak.
If they were strong enough, strong like their mother back then... no one would dare to lay a hand on them.
But whether it was human forces or those terrifying beasts, neither would allow them the time to grow.
Therefore,
Aeria decided to find a protector for herself and her sisters.
Someone strong enough to withstand human forces and capable of resisting the Evil Gods.

And that protector was the Earth Evil God standing before her!
Staring at Bai Lianyue’s face, little Aeria tightly clenched her fists.
Though she could never understand what was going on in the Evil God’s mind, from her actions, this monster didn’t seem to have any intention of harming them.
If that’s the case,
Then let her protect us!
Making a wish, signing a contract, does it mean selling our souls to the Evil God?
So what?
For the sake of her sisters, does she have any other choice?
"This wish... can it be granted?"
Swallowing nervously, Aeria waited anxiously for Bai Lianyue’s response.
On the other side,
After a brief moment of joy, Bai Lianyue smiled gently, and in her emerald eyes, a faint blue glow appeared in the shape of a lily of the valley rune.
Whether it was for her own revenge or her body's innate desires, Bai Lianyue had long wanted to bind Aeria and her sisters to her side.
Thus,
She was more than happy to fulfill this wish.
Moreover,
Allowing them to grow up smoothly and healthily? It was such a nostalgic feeling.
"Of course." Bai Lianyue nodded without hesitation.
With that,
The Earth Evil God slowly raised her hand, and an icy-blue curse power began to surge, gently enveloping little Aeria within it.
As the curse power flowed and a burning sensation spread across her chest,
Aeria suddenly noticed... a strange ice-blue pattern had appeared on her chest.
"What... what is this?" Aeria asked in confusion.
Bai Lianyue didn’t answer directly but tilted her head meaningfully.
"—From now on, I... am your guardian."
...
On the other side, near Bai Lianyue's position in the Bufrons Canyon,
A massive army composed of countless war vehicles and mechs roared through the land like a steel flood, kicking up dust clouds that obscured the sky.
The dust spread thickly, blocking out the sunlight.
Heavy tank treads ground over rocks, emitting deep rumbling sounds like the roar of the earth, causing the mountains to tremble slightly. The metal shells of the mechs glinted coldly in the sunlight, their massive mechanical arms equipped with artillery and laser weapons, exuding an air of lethal intent.
This army was the support force assembled from the border forces of the Enigmatic Abyss.
And their goal was clear: they were heading straight for the location where the Thousand-Faced Crow’s aura had been detected.
They couldn’t allow that monster to harm the young goddesses.
In front of this army, a shadow darted through the air like lightning, speeding through the canyon, quickly pulling away from the main force.
"Lord Gremil!! Slow down!!"
A fellow officer, also at the Celestial Martial Realm, shouted sternly:
"You’re pulling too far ahead of the army!!"
"Do you plan to face the Thousand-Faced Bird alone?!!"
"Stop dreaming!! You’re walking straight into death!!"
However, Gremil, who was focused on rushing forward, didn’t hear a word of the officer’s warnings. Instead, he unleashed more of his spiritual energy, charging ahead even faster.
At this moment, Gremil only had one thing on his mind.
That was the safety of Aeria and her sisters!
Not just because they were important, but because they were Liana’s children.
If anything happened to Aeria and her sisters, Liana would be devastated.
As Liana’s "brother," he could never allow such a thing to happen.
Even if his opponent was a servant of the Sky Evil God, he would still rush in without fear and fight!
"Little Aeria, please... don't be hurt!!"
Wrapped in the glow of lightning, Gremil continuously prayed to the heavens in his heart.
Deep down, Gremil knew he might be too late.
But...
He still refused to imagine the worst possible future.
...
"Boom!!!"
Finally,
With a deafening roar, after exhausting the energy of his propulsion device, Gremil descended from the sky, landing at the core area where the curse power had erupted earlier.
He expected to dive straight into battle, but was stunned to find...
"Where’s the Thousand-Faced Bird? Why is that monster... gone? How can such a large Fallen Beast just disappear?" Gremil wondered, expanding his sensory field.
But soon,
The young Celestial Martial Realm expert no longer had the energy to ponder this question.
As he opened his sensory field, Gremil suddenly detected a familiar aura.
"This... this is?!"
Following the aura, Gremil’s gaze sharply turned to the side. Then, he saw the silhouette that had been on his mind for so long.
"Ah, Liana!!"
Gremil’s eyes immediately lit up with overwhelming joy as he gazed at the beautiful blue-haired girl not far away.
Upon seeing the twins being held by Liana and Aeria standing by her side, Gremil’s nervous heart finally found peace.
"Thank goodness, you’re all safe!"
At this moment, where was the Thousand-Faced Bird?
Gremil didn’t care anymore.
This blonde, handsome man had already spread his arms, excitedly rushing toward Liana and the others.
After such hardship, a reunion was inevitable! Of course, he had to embrace them!
Unknowingly, Gremil had already started imagining the beautiful scene of him and Liana embracing.
But,
Gremil’s pleasant fantasy didn’t last long before the ground shook, shattering his thoughts.
"What is that?!"
The next instant,
To Gremil’s astonishment, cracks rapidly spread from the ground, forming a web-like pattern around them.
Then, accompanied by a deep rumble, countless thick, dark red tentacles erupted from the earth.
At that moment, the claws, filled with deathly aura, snapped open, waving in the air with overwhelming resentment and murderous intent. The air seemed to tremble as the tentacles moved, accompanied by an oppressive, suffocating curse power.
The powerful curse energy slammed into Gremil like a wall, sending him flying dozens of meters away.
After finally stabilizing himself, Gremil looked in terror at the tentacles writhing through the sky.
"What is this?! Forgiveness!!"
As he recognized the identity of the monster before him, Gremil immediately unleashed all of his firepower and charged toward Liana, who was surrounded by the tentacles.
"Run, Liana!!!" Gremil screamed desperately.
Unfortunately,
Gremil was too late.
Just as his words left his mouth, a massive abyssal mouth suddenly erupted from the ground, swallowing Liana and her daughters whole.
"Crack—"
Accompanied by the sound of flesh tearing, blood splattered everywhere...
Gremil: !!!!!!
