"We're not strangers, you're still so reserved."

"And you, still so annoying..."

Angels and clerics have complemented each other since ancient times, but at some point, disputes arose between them due to power struggles. The main reason was that clerics started to achieve an equal status with angels over time.

This is closely related to deities, as angels are messengers of the gods and inheritors of divine positions.

Clerics, on the other hand, are individuals with high-purity souls bestowed with the title.

Different from angels, their goal is to fulfill the missions guided by gods and eventually fulfill their own destinies!

The orders of the Divine Lord are the ultimate commands, although having no connection with the angels. However, since the Divine Lord no longer exists, this will inevitably become the fuse that leads to inevitable conflicts between the apostles of the Divine Lord and the executors of the ultimate commands.

"It's time for a warm-up, I'll take care of the enemies on the left. Of course, as a cleric, if you prefer the left, I can step aside at any time."

"Chris, how come you still have that playboy, nonchalant attitude?"

"Disgusting, your carelessness might very well cost you your life!"

"Humph, Elisa, don't worry about that, I can handle those guys in no time."

With that, Chris leaped forward, and in his hand slowly materialized a large, purple-hued sword with iron chains entwined around its center. With a swift and spectacular strike, he transferred all his divine power to the massive sword in his hand, then exerted all his strength to smash the chained sword, now transformed into a colossal hammer, onto the ground.

Instantly, heaps of Evil Entities disintegrated under that blow, evaporating into wisps of blue smoke.

"Hmm, not bad at all, can't let you outdo me!"

The young girl shook her pure white qipao and then pulled the cross from around her neck, placing it in front of her chest.

"Oh, great divine beings, gather the powers you've lost in this world, and radiate your final light... Amen!"

She slowly conjured a giant silver-tipped spear in her hand and swept it towards the remaining Evil Entities, vanishing the last wave of Evil Entities into ethereal mist.

With just a combined attack from the two, almost all the Evil Entities... wiped out?

"Oops, you still have one left, I win, don't I?"

"Impossible, how could this happen? I should have already..."

Indeed, there was only one seemingly small boy left among the forces of Evil Entities. This boy emitted a grayish-white light all over his body, dressed in tattered clothes, standing at the center of the storm, staring at them with a deeply vacant look in his eyes.

The boy stopped in his tracks, muttering to himself.

"Why? Why do people always like to bully the weak, those much weaker than themselves?"

"This level of Evil Entity, hmm... it seems that the reason for the convergence of the Evil Entities is because of this fellow!"

Elisa raised the cleric's spear high, pointing it vertically towards the ground and then forcefully thrust it down.

"Oh, great Divine Lord, listen to the cries of the people, let the holy light pierce the darkness's restraints, and free the suffering of the wicked!"

"Hey, what are you trying to do?"

Just as Elisa's gun was about to pierce the ground, Chris rushed forward and grabbed the lower half of the gun with one hand, preventing the magic circle from activating.

After stopping the spell, Elisa criticized Chris sternly.

"How could you be so reckless as to use the power of the Divine Lord? Do you know it will shorten your life?!"

"Don't worry, I am fully aware of the consequences."

"Are you kidding me? What are you even talking about?"

As they argued back and forth, a usually calm and composed young boy suddenly erupted in anger.

A deep pressure blanketed the entire outer city, and the concentration of the aura increased, causing the gravity to instantly increase by over ten times!

"Oh no, this is the Fearful Eye that only an S-rank Evil Entity should possess. Elisa, as a human, you cannot withstand this!"

Saying this, Chris picked up Elisa and headed towards the high point of the inner city wall, overlooking the entire outer city. It was almost completely surrounded by acid rain and the ruins at the bottom had been consumed by flames.

Seeing such a dire scene, Chris couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"I don't understand, what am I..."

The boy's body continued to expand... to the point where even the entire outer city's castle could not contain his massive form!

If it were a sunny day, this colossal figure was enough to block out the sun, seeming like he could destroy the entire inner city area with a single move!

"Wow, wow, wow!"

On the nearby city wall, Ni Wu exclaimed in amazement and sneered.

"My children have already grown to this extent with only malevolent thoughts... It's truly incredible. How many mysteries of human emotions are left to be unraveled?"

"Hmph, what's there to care about a mere S-rank Evil Entity? Watch me..."

"No, it's not your turn to act, it's not a suggestion, it's an order!"

"Uh... alright..."

Edward had no choice but to back down, thinking, I appreciate your 'concern,' but...

"What are you worried about? My old friend, who enabled you to surpass the Giant God and become the most powerful in the world... have you forgotten?"

Ni Wu's face flashed with a sly smile before disappearing from Edward's sight.

In the end, Edward could only sigh in response to Ni Wu's warning.

"This guy... hm!"

...

"Hagrid, slow down, come here!"

"Wow! Yukari, you bumped into the wound on my shoulder..."

Even after my shoulder had healed, it still felt the same. Although there were no obvious scars, I endured the pain and returned to the sofa, breathing evenly.

"Huff... huff..."

"To think Hagrid got injured so badly, our actions have been exposed to Edward?"

This incident greatly frightened Flandre. A few days ago, he suffered a crushing defeat at my hands, and now he saw me almost defenseless against the enemy, leaving him even more uncertain.

"My Queen, based on his style and behavior, it doesn't seem like Edward's doing. But... is it really okay?"

Yukari did not rush to answer everyone's questions, instead, she analyzed the situation earnestly.

"I think all of you are not young anymore. We should use our brains to think about things. We must prepare for the worst. If we easily abandon this place, where else can we go?"

"Well, that's true. Where should we go to stay?"

Ren, while sharpening the knife in her hand, replied and wiped her clothes.

The whole room fell silent, with only me struggling to stand up with all my might from the soft sofa.

"I think... I should know a place we can go to. It has nothing to do with Professor Fran and the Frat brothers, just afraid it might be a little dirty and messy. Can the three of you young ladies, forming the 'Iron Triangle,' really live in a place like that?"

"..."

Upon hearing my words, Yukari, Chiyori, and Ren all fell silent.

Is it really impossible...

Just as I was about to give up on this decision, Ren spoke up first.

"A little cleaning can take care of the dirt and mess. I think having a floor is enough."

"Well, it's Ren after all. She can adapt to even the most difficult conditions."

Despite being a girl, her endurance is truly commendable, living up to her name!

Seeing this, Chiyori, who was sitting by the side, joined in.

"It's not that big of a deal. I just need a place to bathe, with hot water!"

"...Well, in the future... we should have that."

"Why is it like this?"

Disheartened, Chiyori sat cross-legged on the ground, complaining like an aunt.

"Really, I can't stand it... Oh well, let's just go with it!"

Well, with Ren's agreement, Chiyori basically agreed to live in the place I mentioned. As for the rest...

I glanced at Yukari, who was closest to me. As the one passive and hesitant to speak out, was she having some reservations?

"I..."

Her sudden words caused my throat to tighten instantly.

"As long as there's a kitchen and a bathroom, it's fine, right?"

"Phew, that's possible."

I thought someone like her would surely make excessive demands due to her status as a young lady, but in reality, it was surprisingly simple.

I thought getting these three people to agree would be troublesome, but they all easily consented. So, next would be... turning to Yukari, right?

"Alright, that's settled..."

"Just a moment, please?"

Just as I was about to reveal the hiding place, Professor Fran's brother, Frat, cautiously raised his right hand as if a kindergartener answering a question.

"Actually, since Her Majesty agrees, I have been hesitant to speak up."

"It's okay. Feel free to bring up any questions. I won't blame you."

"Is that so?"

"Of course, little brother. Since the Queen has agreed, you can speak up."

Under the encouragement of Professor Fran and Yukari, Frat finally spoke cautiously.

"I'm afraid of the dark..."

Oh my goodness...

Upon hearing this, I almost stumbled and fell off the sofa, but Yukari came over in time to support me, keeping my balance so I didn't fall again.

These are unnecessary worries, right? It's not like we're going to a haunted house, but... I suppose it's about the same.

"Look, this is it. Although it hasn't been used for a long time, it's already in quite good condition."

What I'm introducing to everyone is an abandoned old school building. In fact, I passed by here when I first enrolled. At that time, I felt that even though this place was not within Edward's surveillance range, it was still under the protection of Elena Satan.

Various signs indicate that using this place as a secret new location is an ideal choice.

"Hagrid was right, this is demon territory. Ordinary Evil Entities can't approach here, unlike the inner city that can stop even the strongest S-class Evil Entities. But it's already quite good for our safety."

"Yes, Satan is much more terrifying than S-class Evil Entities. Besides, how many of those strong-willed S-class Evil Entities are there anyway... Wow, ahh~!"
