Becoming a White-Haired Witch in a World Full of Anomalies

Chapter 121 : Is It Over?

Entering the palace, the sinister decorative style was uniquely characteristic. Under the dim candlelight, murals on the palace walls were illuminated..."These murals."

"They look quite old."

Lin Xinyao looked at the murals while walking forward, explaining their meaning to everyone.

The first mural: Under countless rays of light, in a sacred and solemn temple, a group of pure white angels knelt on one knee before a majestic god on the throne.

"This is his birth. The god created angels."

The second mural: In a primitive tribe, angels held sharp blades, their bodies bathed in blood as they fought against something, protecting the people.

"Anomalies have existed since ancient times. Back then, people had no method to contract anomalies and could only pray for divine protection."

The third mural: An evil dragon soared through the sky, storms ravaged the earth, and angels on the ground could only watch helplessly.

"Anomalies grew stronger and stronger. The angels were helpless - their power was insufficient to resist the anomalies' invasion..."

The fourth mural: The god stood on the evil dragon, grasping a demon woman in his hand, while people around prostrated themselves on the ground.

"To protect humanity, the god acted, suppressing all anomalies. People revered Him and built churches for Him..."

The fifth mural: An ancient city where people lived in peace and prosperity, with a dilapidated shrine in the corner of the picture...

"Humanity's upper echelons began controlling information about anomalies. People no longer felt extreme fear, anomalies decreased significantly, and people no longer needed divine protection or worshipped Him."

The sixth mural: Fear covered everyone's faces as they ran about. The city burned with fire, and endless black fog swept in to envelop the world.

"However, one day people would learn of anomalies' existence, and black fog born from fear swept across the entire world."

The seventh mural: A weakened god tried to descend to the mortal realm again, but the last angel blocked His path.

"The god didn't want mortals to suffer, but He was no longer what He once was. The angel didn't want to see Him die like this."

The eighth mural: A god surrounded by black qi found seven people conducting a ritual in the temple.

"Though he defeated the anomalies, the god was also contaminated and about to die. The world cannot be without gods. If the god died, they had to deceive the starry sky's eyes. The god divided his authority among people, creating the illusion that he was still alive, but forgot about his angel... merely granting him freedom."

The murals ended here. This was the life of Archbishop Mercy...

"How did he become Archbishop Mercy?" Bai Ling asked. She could see that the last angel in the murals was Archbishop Mercy. She had once glimpsed the moment of the god's fall through those playing cards...

"Under the banner of reviving the god, he established Terminus Cult. As the last angel, people still firmly believed he could lead them to salvation, so he gained the title of Mercy."

"I see... The savior in people's eyes had long harbored different intentions behind the scenes."

Suddenly, all the castle's candles were lit. The originally dim room became bright, with ceiling lamps burning pitch-black flames and wall lamps hanging from pillars. Everyone could now see the castle's decorations clearly.

Bai Ling immediately recognized this castle as the god's palace, except the originally magnificent throne was stained with pitch-black substance. Black flesh seemed to writhe on the walls, and the once glorious castle was corrupted and covered with that black substance...

Suddenly, singing voices came. Though the meaning was incomprehensible, listening carefully to those voices evoked inexplicable sadness - as if on a battlefield watching teammates fall one by one, followed by music reaching a climax with stirring passion.

Firm footsteps came from both sides of the throne. A row of angels with pure white wings emerged, standing in the castle center with upright chests and determined gazes. Four four-winged angels walked to the front, standing before the throne. Behind them was the new god - Sin and Punishment.

Sin and Punishment slowly sat on the old god's throne. All angels turned and knelt, crying out: "Hail our Lord!" Sin and Punishment nodded with satisfaction.

"Rise."

"Praise our Lord."

Then Sin and Punishment looked at everyone angrily: "Having seen god, why do you not kneel?"

"Why do you not kneel!" All angels turned to look at everyone.

"Evil god! Today let us settle this!"

Bai Ling stepped forward, summoning a blood sword in her hand. The snow-white blade was wrapped in a layer of crimson flesh, with flowing light constantly shining on the blade...

"Hahaha, not bad, commendable courage."

Sin and Punishment suddenly roared: "I am the orthodox one! I am this planet's only god!"

The two rows of angels with sacred aura suddenly laughed. Black qi emanated from their bodies, starting from their wings as they changed color. The original golden light disappeared, replaced by endless black light, slowly transforming into fallen angels...

"Hmph, truly an evil god."

"Hahahaha, that's the funniest joke I've heard. You hold a sword made of bones and flesh yet call me an evil god?" Sin and Punishment mocked.

"Ability isn't the standard for judging good and evil. The fallen angels beside you have already betrayed you. Evil god, die!"

"Hmph, just you?"

The sword in Bai Ling's hand extended, traveling through spatial rifts that opened behind Sin and Punishment. The extended blade stabbed toward His back. A four-winged fallen angel beside Sin and Punishment rushed over, using his body to block the strike.

The stabbed fallen angel began growing tumors, flesh blooming like flowers on his body, with a bright vivid spider lily inserted in the flesh mass, absorbing his nutrients.

Seeing this scene, Sin and Punishment laughed mockingly: "Hahahaha, what difference is there between you and me? Your methods are even more like an evil god's!"

"Hmph, enough talk. You cannot shake my conviction."

"Boring."

Sin and Punishment also drew a sword. The blade was pitch black like a black hole. Mortals would feel fear just looking at it.

The fallen angels engaged in combat with everyone. Four-winged angels had at least Anomaly King-level strength, and those angels showed no fear, attacking continuously like war machines.

"Take this!"

"I am sin and punishment, I am light since ancient times and eternal darkness. The king's blade shall pierce the chests of the irreverent!"

With his true words completed, that black hole-like blade extended infinitely to unknown destinations. Suddenly a wound appeared on Bai Ling's chest, the pitch-black blade piercing out from her body, followed by contaminating black substance spreading wildly.

Bai Ling's body suddenly exploded, splitting into countless flesh pieces. The sword in her hand was thrown toward Sin and Punishment. Then the flesh closest to Sin and Punishment transformed into Bai Ling's form, catching the flying sword and stabbing it firmly into his shoulder.

"This sword is for all living beings."

Even gods bleed. Sin and Punishment's mouth leaked blood. He gripped Bai Ling's sword with one hand while swinging his black sword toward Bai Ling's blade with the other.

In the massive collision, they faced off briefly before retreating dozens of steps. Sin and Punishment wiped the blood from his mouth, gritting his teeth: "Seeking death!"

At this time, a four-winged archangel held a flame blade, shouting: "Blade in hand, judge all directions!"

A new pair of wings appeared behind her - a six-winged archangel was born. The sword in her hand pointed at Lin Xinyao. She could sense this woman was the most troublesome among the Anomaly Kings...

"Flame in hand, purge evil and corruption."

The archangel's sword released flames striking around Lin Xinyao. Before the flames exploded, Lin Xinyao extended her hand toward those flames.

"Time - Rewind."

Those flames returned to the angel's sword. Then Heaven's Secret suddenly appeared beside her, slapping down to try controlling the six-winged angel.

Other angels rushed to support, continuously wielding weapons. Each strike equaled an Anomaly King's attack, trying to destroy Heaven's Secret's technique.

"Polluted Waters!" Xiang Liu summoned a special water domain that crashed over. Angels touching this water emanated black qi and quickly lost vitality, but Heaven's Secret's technique could no longer suppress the six-winged archangel, who broke free.

"Judge All Directions!"

Countless flames fell from the sky. This time the quantity was extraordinary and the range very large. Without the Sand of Time's help, Lin Xinyao could only rewind flames around herself. Other Anomaly Kings hit by this strike suffered various injuries.

"Your companions don't seem very capable." Seeing Bai Ling try to attack the six-winged angel, Sin and Punishment quickly swung a sword at her, knocking her blade to the ground.

"You should worry about yourself first!"

"Condemnation!"

With this sword swing, Bai Ling found her mind involuntarily filled with past mistakes. As wrong deeds played out, the sword grew larger and stronger in her eyes.

"Eliminate Evil!"

The world became black and white. The entire castle was cut diagonally in half. Due to inertia, the castle's top began collapsing outward. Bai Ling couldn't move, her upper body severed by this sword.

"Hahahaha, nothing special. Weak god, easily defeated."

But suddenly, Sin and Punishment looked in horror at the dead Bai Ling. Her body turned to blood and began spreading. A voice came from behind.

"Time to end this."

"Thud!"

The crimson blade pierced his chest. This time it didn't miss...

"You... you you you!" Sin and Punishment understood everything. Bai Ling had been a fake body from the start - the main body had become that sword...

"Die!"

"Despicable! Despicable!"

The moment he died, those fallen angels transformed from black qi also collapsed. The six-winged angel looked unwillingly at this scene, somewhat resentfully at the dead Sin and Punishment...

With Sin and Punishment's death, the black fog slowly disappeared, along with that palace. Even existing black fog creations on the ground died together. The world calmed down...

"Is it over?"

"Bai Ling, you're amazing!" Bai Menglan hugged Bai Ling, happily spinning around.

"Mom, stop it."

"Finally over! Great, we succeeded!"

"It's not over yet..." Lin Xinyao helplessly shook her head.

"Clap clap clap."

Applause came.
