I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

On the day of the incident, Mekalos tried every means to send a call for help to the outside world, and Manjushage immediately sent the message to the royal capital Yuanqi City, begging for help from King Lin.

With the lesson learned from the realm battle a year ago, the support came very quickly, and a large number of troops arrived in Liuguang City at noon the next day.

The scene before them shocked everyone: almost all ordinary residents had evacuated out of the city, and thanks to this move, most of them were safe, but the entire Gospel District was reduced to ruins overnight.

The members of the Knights and the guards who remained in the Gospel District were all injured to varying degrees. They were almost insane after witnessing the arrival of the devil and had to be sent for psychological treatment immediately, so there was no time to interrogate them.

When the guards who came to support approached the Gospel District, they saw the remains of monsters and blood all over the ground. The traces of fighting spread out from the Gospel District to the entire Liuguang City.

The further in you go, the more shocking the signs of destruction become. Except for a few people who remain in the center of the storm, no one knows how terrible the disaster is that has happened here.

What is even more surprising is that such a major disaster was resolved overnight.

Although it was nominally announced that the crisis was overcome thanks to the assistance of the Knights, anyone with eyes wide open could see that, except for Mushu, the Knights had not gone deep into the center of the storm, and the traces left on them were completely different from the force that destroyed the Gospel District.

To be exact, they are not at the same level at all.

The investigators were so frightened by the terrifying pressure as soon as they stepped into the ruins that they could not breathe. It was like being strangled by the throat by the devil. If they were not careful, their body and mind would suffer severe damage.

This is just the aftermath of the disaster. It is hard to imagine how terrible it was that happened last night.

It’s no wonder that news related to the gospel area was quickly blocked. If this news got out, it would scare a lot of people to death.

The rescue team was in a very heavy mood before they arrived. They were even prepared to sacrifice at any time. But when they really arrived at the scene, their emotions became much more complicated.

Even though they didn't know what happened exactly, they could vaguely feel that someone had sacrificed themselves in exchange for this hard-earned victory.

Manjushage stayed up all night guarding the unconscious Luo Shiqi. He just dozed off for a short while and his consciousness came to his own backyard.

Lilith did not sit under the Reinas tree waiting for her with a smile on her face as usual. Instead, she lay slumped over the table like a shriveled water bag.

Even though he knew she was coming, he could only wave one hand weakly to welcome her and didn't even have the strength to speak.

Manjushage smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Lilith struggled to get up with all her strength, wailing: "Thanks to you, otherwise I would not be able to stop the Fate Concerto even if I risked my life."

"Your soul is now living in Seventeen's body, right? Are you still alive?" Manjushage couldn't help laughing: "Including the Fate Concerto, there are three souls in his body. It's too crowded."

"Your focus is really strange." Lilith said with a smile as usual, "I thought you would rush over and grab my collar, shake my surging chest vigorously, and ask me what's going on."

"Please don't have an excessive desire to win in an inexplicable place. I really want to figure it out, but after experiencing so many changes in one night, I really don't have the energy to struggle anymore." said Manjushage.

Although she said so, she actually knew in her heart that Lilith came to her at this time just to make things clear. Otherwise, in her current state, if she didn't sleep and recuperate, it would be tantamount to seeking death.

"It's useless to talk about the reason why he became a demon now, so let's not talk about it for now... Ah, it's not that you are too stupid to understand, it's simply that this matter is not worth discussing now."

Lilith had a faint smile on her face. She seemed nonchalant, but in fact she was trying her best to explain it clearly in the shortest time possible: "As I said before, the Fate Concerto is a layer of insurance. Only by defeating him can we have the qualifications to rival the gods... It doesn't seem right to call our mortal enemies gods. Why not call them demons? After all, they are a group of guys that cannot be resurrected."

Manjushage nodded: "But in general, it is you who defeated the Fate Concerto, right?"

"You are wrong." Lilith said, "As I said before, my strength is not enough to defeat him. Without your help, everyone will be doomed."

Zhong Ling Shengyin's dedication, Wuxin's body, everyone's efforts and persistence, a little less assistance would have led to a drastic change in the situation. It can be said that everyone contributed to the defeat of the Fate Concerto.

It's a pity that this incident involves too many factors, most of which are absolutely confidential, such as the great hero who saved the Kingdom of Aslan turning into a demon and almost killing everyone.

In order to avoid causing unrest, all the credit can only be attributed to the Knights Templar. After all, they are a credible organization. Besides, most people only have a vague understanding of the whole thing, so even if there are any questions, there will be no problem.

However, perhaps because she was used to acting cautiously, Manjushage always felt that this matter was far more complicated than she thought.

Lilith's next words also revealed her doubts: "You may have noticed that this situation involves many things, but the strange thing is that every detail is just right, as if someone is secretly pushing it."

Manjushage said: "The Elf Queen, right?"

"Yes." Lilith nodded: "Let's assume that this is the result she wants. To free Seventeen from her demonic state, rather than to prevent this from happening, requires a lot of conditions. And the most unstable factor to achieve these conditions is precisely everyone's heart."

"Although this kind of thing is ridiculous, there are people behind all the seemingly reasonable coincidences. It's really scary when you think about it." Manjusaka looked at Lilith worriedly: "You should be very familiar with Xiyue, can't you guess what she wants to do?"

Lilith shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, the current Elf Queen is not the Xiyue I know. You should have heard that she is undergoing a generational change. In simple terms, she has acquired the power and qualifications of the Elf Queen, but is still some distance away from becoming a true Elf Queen."

She did not raise the possibility that the other party did all this in order to allow her to obtain all the power of the Elf Queen. This possibility had probably been ruled out. Manjushage could not help but think of what Lilith had said before, that the Elf Queen would restart the world to the limit.

After what happened last night, she could roughly guess that the Elf Queen was willing to restart the world again and again, perhaps because in the near future, they would face a huge catastrophe that they could not overcome.

If I were to make a bold guess, this might not be the only dilemma. All kinds of seemingly insignificant situations are intertwined like the roots of a big tree, and finally grow into a towering tree.

No matter which side the giant tree falls on, the disastrous consequences are unavoidable. Only by attacking the tree from multiple directions can the threat be eliminated.

It is for this reason that the Elf Queen chose to push the direction of events behind the scenes.

She just calmly gave everyone different choices, but she was very sure that they would definitely move forward along the established trajectory.

After hearing the ancient ballad sung by Zhong Ling Sheng Yin, the four hundred years that she and Hyde had spent together had been passed on to everyone's mind. Combining her personality and life experiences of two lifetimes, it can be seen that the seemingly major decisions were actually inevitable choices.

The Elf Queen has precise control over everyone to this extent.

No wonder Thales said he was hindered. Even the Holy Spirit of Wisdom could not do this.

"We still don't know what that guy wants to do. From what we can see now, it's not a bad thing for you." Lilith analyzed: "However, it's always good to be careful. Maybe, just like Ilivia Grusel, the Elf Queen is right beside you."

After saying that, Lilith's body suddenly became heavy. She struggled and said, "It looks like I've reached my limit. I will fall into a deep sleep and won't be able to wake up for a long time. After that, you will really have to rely on yourselves."

"Wait, before that, I have another question for you... What on earth is that giant tree that suddenly grew out?"

"Are you talking about the Gospel Tree? It's the same thing as the Renas tree in your backyard, the inheritance of destiny, the seedling of the world tree..."

After Lilith answered Manjushage's question, she fell into a deep sleep without any explanation.

Manjushage's consciousness also left the courtyard. She opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, and found Luo Shiqi looking at her calmly.
