Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

"Don't worry about such details. The Gluttony King is a pretty good evil god. He only cares whether you can feed him, and he doesn't care at all whether you have other beliefs."

Although it sounds tempting, most bulimia nervosa practitioners live in a miserable state because bulimia nervosa has an extremely strong desire to eat, so most believers suffer from hunger all the time.

Only those who are blessed like Elise can be exempt from this influence.

In fact, the King of Gluttony also affected Elise, causing her to eat a little more than usual.

"Thank you, but no need." As Elena spoke, she had already manipulated dozens of flying swords to set up around the area, forming a large illusion barrier and a silence barrier. She was genuinely worried that an attack of this intensity would break the manor's built-in barriers.

As the rain of arrows gradually subsided, the monster's mangled body collapsed heavily to the ground. However, even riddled with holes, this monster made of blood-red crystals was still not dead.

Elise, adhering to the principle of never holding back if she could kill it, summoned a huge, invisible maw that devoured the monster completely, leaving not a single fragment behind.

At the same time, the gluttony brand on the back of Elise's hand also conveyed a sense of satisfaction.

This shows that the trash can really likes this kind of trash.

"Is this considered resolved?" Elena carried Iris back to the ground, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be resolved."

But as Elise finished speaking, a sudden burst of intense crimson light erupted from the direction of Golden Leaf Street.

The eerie and ominous crimson light shot straight into the sky, and faint cracks could be seen appearing in the sky, like a mirror about to shatter.

"It seems something unexpected has happened," Elena said, looking at the pillar of light in the distance.

"That is, a divine descent ritual."

Volume 1: Chapter 452 Doing Good Deeds Requires Leaving a Good Name (Tenth Update)

"It's careless."

Elise frowned slightly as she looked at the towering crimson pillar of light. She had initially thought this was just a simple incident involving a crimson meteor.

However, things were much more complicated than she had imagined, because it involved an organization that would only appear in the later stages of the game.

The Crimson Council.

A cult that worships the Blood Moon, whose members are all lunatics, has only one goal: to bring down the Blood Moon. For example, this divine descent ritual was orchestrated by the Crimson Council.

Elise never expected that this mysterious organization, which appeared very late in the game and only in hidden routes, would already be showing itself now.

It seems that the world has changed much more than I imagined.

"You just mentioned a divine descent ritual. Does that mean the gods will really descend?" Elena could sense an extremely terrifying aura emanating from the shattered sky.

“If we ignore it and let the Crimson Council sacrifice half of Seria, then the gods will truly descend. But this is Seria after all, and the people above will not allow such a thing to happen.”

Just as Elise had said, not long after the crimson pillar of light appeared, a ninth-tier powerhouse appeared nearby and began to interfere with the divine descent ritual.

"Then what do we do now?"

“You don’t need to do anything. That kind of situation is not for us to get involved in. Let’s just watch the show.” Elise smiled, then turned and walked towards Sally.

Although Sally had used her spatial powers to transfer the physical corruption away from her body, the mental corruption still had a significant impact on her.

Even when she saw Elise, she felt an urge to pin her down and tear her apart.

Sensing Sally's frantic gaze, Elise chuckled softly, a strange heart-shaped mark appearing in her eyes: "I said, calm down."

That simple sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured on Sally, instantly pulling her out of her manic state.

Sally, temporarily unaffected by her manic emotions, returned to her usual composed self. She said timidly, "Um, I was just a little affected by my emotions. I absolutely did not mean to hurt you. Please don't misunderstand."

"I get the feeling that what you said is more like your truest inner thoughts."

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Elise covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then suddenly leaned close to Sally, cupped her cheeks, and said, "Come on, look into my eyes."

Sally stared blankly at Elise's eyes, which were marked with the imprint of pleasure, and felt her mind gradually relax, the frenzy that had filled her mind gradually subsiding.

Sally, as the person involved, may not have noticed, but Elena, who was standing nearby, clearly saw that the blood-red light emanated from Sally's eyes and then flowed into Elise's eyes.

She quickly realized that Elise wasn't helping Sally purify her mind of pollution, but rather transferring the pollution onto herself.

Elena instinctively tried to stop her, but Elise stopped her.

Sally wasn't highly contaminated, so this state didn't last long.

Feeling Elise loosen her grip on her cheek, Sally couldn't help but say, "Thank you."

"It's nothing. After all, I asked you to help hold him off." A flash of bloodshot light appeared in Elise's eyes and quickly faded, as if nothing had happened.

But Sally still noticed the bloodstain, and she said nervously, "Wait, you didn't just transfer my contamination onto yourself, did you?"

"Yes, that kind of pollution isn't easy to purify, but it's okay. I am, after all, a chosen one of the Eternal God, so even if there's some pollution, I can purify it little by little."

Sensing Sally's slightly worried gaze, Elise's lips curled into a faint smile. The last trace of blood in her eyes was deliberately shown to Sally.

Sally opened her mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. After standing there for a while, she heard Elise's voice first: "You've worked hard today. If there's nothing else, you can go back and get some rest."

"I... okay."

Unable to think of anything to say, Sally hesitated for a moment before silently returning to the manor.

After Sally left, Elena finally spoke up, saying, "It's dangerous to transfer pollution into your own body, don't you know that?"

"Are you worried about me?" Elise asked with a smile as she moved closer to Elena.

"I'm talking to you seriously!" Elena tugged at Iris's cheek, a little annoyed. This wicked woman was always like this, saying she was afraid of death, but always doing things that were courting death.

Whether it was because Elise's cheeks felt nice to the touch, or because Elise really provoked her, Elena continued pinching Elise's cheeks for quite a while, until they turned red before she let go.

Elise rubbed her cheeks and said with a hint of resentment, "You always bully me."

"I was worried about you!" Elena said irritably.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. I promise I won't do that kind of thing in front of you again next time."

Elena was initially somewhat relieved by Elise's earlier words, but her expression darkened after hearing what Elise said next.

By the time she was about to teach Elise a lesson, Elise had already nimbly escaped, even turning back playfully to make a face at her.

Come and chase me!

Do you think I would do something so childish?

Although that's what she said, the moment Elena finished speaking, she activated a magical shockwave to accelerate, and even dragon wings appeared on her back.

Her speed was briefly increased to its maximum, and she instantly caught up with the still provocative Elise.

Elise, who was being hugged by Elena, blinked and then said, "Is it too late for me to apologize now?"

"What do you say?"

Then, Elise's cheeks were brutally squeezed again.

For now, this was all Elena could do to teach Iris a lesson; she was reluctant to go too far.

Looking at Elena, who was still lecturing her, Elise had a faint smile on her lips. This was the feeling. Elena was starting to care about her and was afraid that she would be hurt. When she suddenly died one day, Elena's reaction would be very interesting.

An unusual flush appeared on Elise's face, and even her body trembled involuntarily.

After noticing this, Elena couldn't help but wonder if she had been too harsh, and her tone softened considerably when negotiating the price.

As the tenth update concludes, I wish everyone a Happy New Year, and may everyone enjoy good health and great wealth.

Volume 1: Chapter 453 My Dear Nemesis

"The crisis of divine intervention is imminent. Is it really okay for us to continue fooling around here?"

Elena glanced at the crimson pillar of light shooting into the sky in the distance and couldn't help but make a comment.

“We can’t get involved anyway,” Elise said nonchalantly, and even pulled Elena to the garden, where they sat in the pavilion, drinking tea and enjoying the scenery that was rarely seen.

The crack in the sky had widened considerably compared to when it first appeared, and it seemed as if it could shatter at any moment.

However, shortly after Elise sat down, the sky underwent a new change. Countless magical circuits covered the entire sky, and the cracks stopped expanding after the magical circuits appeared. There was even a faint tendency for them to heal.

"This is?"

"The Empire's artificial god has made its move."

"The empire has already been built?" A look of surprise flashed in Elena's eyes.

"Not yet, only half of it is complete, but even if it's only half, it's enough to easily organize a divine descent."

Elise is quite familiar with the situation in the Empire, which is why she can still sit here calmly and drink tea.

The crimson beam of light gradually weakened as the magical runes appeared, but this was only the beginning. This incident would definitely cause panic among the residents of Seria, and even result in considerable losses.

The key is to handle the aftermath.

"Do you think the Empire might seek revenge against the Crimson Council you mentioned?"

“Revenge is definitely necessary, but not now. The Empire will likely shift the blame for this incident onto the Kingdom.”

"This is escalating the pace of the war."

“That’s right. As I just said, the artificial god is halfway complete and has now demonstrated its powerful strength. The Empire will definitely try every means to speed up the progress of the artificial god.”

As the crimson pillar of light faded, it also meant that the disaster had temporarily come to a halt.

If nothing unexpected happens, this crimson pillar of light must have contaminated many people, and the Empire's cleanup work will be difficult.

With this in mind, Elise also sent people to strengthen the manor's defenses. If nothing unexpected happens, Seria should be plunged into chaos for a while.

As the cracks in the sky were gradually repaired and the countless magical runes faded away, Elise slowly stood up and said, "The show is over. Try to stay home as much as possible these next few days."

"Ah."

……

Golden Leaf Street is the center of the divine descent ceremony.

The once bustling streets were now a scene of devastation, filled with wails and frantic screams, resembling a living hell.

After the divine descent ceremony concluded, the imperial guards immediately entered the area to handle the aftermath.

The guard showed no mercy to those whose pollution had reached a level of distortion, eliminating them all.

For those who can still maintain their human form, the guards will choose to offer assistance, but whether they can regain their sanity is anyone's guess.

"Captain, we've found a mutant here." The uniformed guards discovered a mutant gray-haired girl in a messy shop.

Half of her body was covered by red crystals, and her eyes were filled with restless killing intent.

The moment the guards relayed the message, his head was severed from his neck.

Celia rubbed her forehead, then let the power of death fill her entire body, temporarily putting herself in a state of death. In this state, the crimson crystals stopped eroding her.

However, the mental impact of the previous divine descent ritual was not so easily resolved.

Now that they've been discovered, if they stay here, they'll definitely face a crackdown by the guards.

So Celia left the shop without hesitation and then tried to escape the neighborhood at an extremely fast pace.

However, the area centered on Jinye Street has been sealed off. People inside must undergo inspection to ensure they are not contaminated before being allowed to leave.

Going out in her current state would be tantamount to suicide.

But if she stays here, she will be found sooner or later, and given her current condition, it cannot last. If she stays in this state for too long, she will actually die.

For the first time, those who are close to death are so close to it.

Celia thought to herself, "I have to find a way to get out of here." But before she could come up with a solution, she had already been discovered.

Helpless, she could only summon a sixth-tier undead warrior to buy time and escape the extermination once again.

After Qi found another hiding place, Celia also released a few crows to quickly gather information about the area around Golden Leaf Street, and then locked onto a location in the northwest.

The security there is slightly weaker than in other places.

She had already figured out how to break through.

Thirty minutes later, a huge skeletal titan rose from the ground in the north of the isolation zone. The appearance of the seventh-tier skeletal titan attracted away a lot of the guards.

A pang of heartache flashed in Celia's eyes. This was the Titan's remains she had discovered in a dangerous place based on the information Elise had given her. It was a perfect collectible, but she never expected it to be used here.

4 If she finds the guy who performed the divine descent ritual, she'll make him die a thousand times over, then throw the soul fire into the body of the bone goblin, and then throw that bone goblin into the tentacle monster's lair.

Celia started her breakout while complaining.

The power of death permeated the air, and the Gate of Death emerged from the void, from which countless undead emerged, making the already chaotic scene even more chaotic.

Neocelia also managed to escape during the chaos, but she was unlucky and ran into the White Blade as soon as she got out. She was chased by the White Blade for a while and paid a heavy price to barely escape.
