Why must the devil be Defeated?

"...!"

In the ruins of the Royal Hall within the Imperial Palace, Tielle suddenly experienced an indescribable feeling of palpitation that grasped her heart.

The palpitation came abruptly and left just as quickly, yet it left Tielle feeling as though something momentous had occurred.

Tielle didn't know what this feeling was.

She merely lifted her head, as if intuitively, looking towards Shane who was countering the overwhelming Death Qi in the sky, as if trying to see through the scene to locate Moro.

Unfortunately, Tielle didn't possess the Skill of X-ray vision and naturally couldn't see Moro's position, which was obscured by the Death Qi that blocked out the sun.

But Tielle was certain.

In Moro's location, there was something closely related to her that had appeared.

And this entity closely related to her vanished just as quickly.

"What exactly happened?"

Tielle wore a serious expression and became somewhat distraught.

Beside her, Cappelen struggled to stand up, gazing around at the Female Knights who lay on the ground groaning in pain, her eyes shifting in one direction.

"Big brother...!"

Harvis was similarly lying on the ground, and clearly without the care from Shane like Tielle and Cappelen, he had sustained a significant impact and was now motionless.

Cappelen forcefully ran towards Harvis.

As for people in all directions, they were frantically leaving the place.

Yes, they were leaving in a state of panic.

"Quick! Evacuate the Imperial Palace first!"

Even Rocque, who had guarded the palace gates, yelled such instructions, watching the Death Qi in the air that could crash down at any moment and devour the entire palace, his expression extremely grave.

"Retreat!"

Tilly, following Rocque's directive, continuously waved and called out to the Imperial Knights around her.

Sarilo did likewise, grabbing Geno, who was already pale and unable to walk, and fled the palace at top speed with the Imperial Knights under his command.

The disturbance above the palace was truly terrifying, even the Legendary-level powerhouses had to fear and retreat.

"Roar!"

You Lin, who was also at the Limit Level like Moro, roared towards the Death Qi in the sky. From her expression, it was evident she felt threatened by the Death Qi.

Indeed, at this moment, Moro, also a Limit Level entity with the physique of a Death Spirit and collecting Death Qi from the blood of countless fallen heroes on the Empire's soil, augmented by the specifically enhanced Death Spirit Magic of the "Terrifying Duke," even You Lin, who had ascended to the Limit Level, would probably succumb to this terrifying assault.

It was for this reason that Shane, who had used "Reincarnation Destiny," was entangled.

"This Poisonous Consort is more troublesome than I thought."

Shane, while using Grant Magic of Annihilation to counteract the endlessly descending Death Qi torrent, was also secretly taken aback.

He had already used "Reincarnation Destiny" to double his power, almost transcending to the Transcendence Level, yet he was still entangled. It was clear, Moro had truly thrown caution to the wind.

One should know that Moro's Death Qi, though vast, was limited; constantly being annihilated by Shane could only weaken her power.

The "Terrifying Duke," similar to the "Duke of Horror," had its power determined by the quantity of Death Qi; if the reserves of Death Qi fell, Moro's power would naturally decline.

In such circumstances, Moro, regardless of the cost, squandered Death Qi to bind him, buying time, which made Shane somewhat impatient.

Especially since the sensing ability of "Outer Destiny" was informing Shane that Moro seemed to be attempting something formidable, causing the strange Magic Power in the heavens and earth to grow increasingly dense. Shane decided not to drag on any longer.

"Lilith!"

Shane finally called out to his Guardian God in the sky.

At that moment, heaven and earth transformed.

...

"Success."

Simultaneously, Moro, watching a girl materialize in front of her, finally allowed a hint of a smile to emerge on her cold and ruthless face.

In one hand, she held a mummified corpse bereft of life, vaguely discernible as William.

Unfortunately, this once invincible adopted son of the Leferut family had thoroughly died.

Because Moro had used the most violent method to inject an enormous amount of Death Qi into his body, turning him into a Death Spirit, then manipulating William through Death Spirit Magic to utilize his Unique Skill, successfully creating a split entity of Tielle.

Moro casually discarded William's dried corpse and reached out her hand to embrace the split entity of Tielle.

With one glance, Moro could see that this split entity was full of flaws.

It had no soul, no consciousness, no self-awareness, just an empty shell.

Clearly, the split entity that Moro cheated to obtain had not reached perfection.

But...

"That's enough."

Moro didn't need Tielle, but the Blessing of the Goddess of Fate.

There was only one person who possessed this Blessing.

That was Luoqi.

Before Luoqi was born, the previous recipient of the Goddess of Fate's Blessing was Hero Mithra.

After Hero Mithra, a span of a thousand years passed without the emergence of another recipient of the Goddess of Fate's Blessing.

Therefore, Moro had waited a full thousand years until Luoqi was born, then she began to plot.
