The Goddess, Please Devour the Evil Deity!-Chapter 44Vol 1. : Although he managed to escape, his feelings were still very complicated
I,
Did we really escape?
Sitting in the rapidly moving transport vehicle, Aeria Lingyuan still found it hard to believe as she surveyed everything inside. After carefully sensing and confirming that there were no traces of curse power around her, and that she was indeed enveloped by a dense aura of spiritual power, the silver-haired girl finally felt a bit of reality about escaping the Enigmatic Abyss.
Although it was a bold attempt made on the spur of the moment, who would have thought it would actually succeed?
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
When she last saw that giant tentacle of the octopus, Aeria thought they were doomed.
Unexpectedly,
The tentacle actually stopped?
Was it worried that the barbs would hurt us?
That’s impossible, right? Why would that monster care about our safety?
Though they were saved, Aeria’s heart was still filled with doubts, and moreover, the girl’s unease only grew stronger after leaving the Enigmatic Abyss.
Through the window, she cast her anxious gaze towards the distance, towards the direction of the Enigmatic Abyss.
Would that monster let us go?
Also,
Hmm,
What if we suddenly ran away?
Would she be worried...?
Huh?!
Wait?!
What am I thinking about?! Why should I care about the emotions of an evil god?!
That’s a monster!!
Shaking her head vigorously, Aeria quickly tried to dismiss the strange thoughts swirling in her mind.
...
—“Are you worried about the Fallen Beasts coming after us?”—
Just as Aeria’s head was spinning like a top, a voice that was both authoritative and gentle quietly floated into the girl’s ears.
Following the sound, Aeria glanced sideways at the woman sitting opposite her, who wore an eye patch and was dressed in a sharp military uniform. This woman was Shestira, the overall commander of this rescue mission.
Upon learning that they had found the daughters of Lady Liana, Shestira immediately led troops to assist and personally took on the task of guarding the three little ones.
After all, these children were Lady Liana’s daughters, the next generation of God-gifted maidens, and potential wielders of the Sacred Stone.
Shestira wouldn’t trust their protection to anyone else.
There were too many with malicious intentions during this time...
Seeing the change in Aeria’s expression, Shestira understood the girl's anxiety and subsequently revealed a kind and reassuring smile.
“Don’t be afraid, you are very safe now. Look, there are so many people protecting you.”
As she spoke, Shestira gestured out the window.
Following Shestira’s direction, Aeria looked to the side.
“Protecting us?”
What the girl saw was an impressive and powerful guard force.
Apart from the extraordinary soldiers, the team also included a large number of heavy mechs. Arranged in rows, each mech radiated a cold metallic luster, their shoulder-mounted weapons filled with deterrence, their steps steady and powerful.
In the distance, heavy artillery vehicles raced across the dusty ground, each one like a giant beast, dragging heavy cannons, with laser targeting systems on the turrets flickering, ready to engage at any moment.
In the sky, armed fighter jets circled high above, their wings cutting through the clouds with piercing roars. The tight formation of the jets, like a flock of eagles soaring, the dense formation exuding an invisible pressure.
These fully armed combat machines acted like an invisible shield around Aeria’s convoy, crushing any approaching enemies under a torrent of steel. The entire scene was majestic, offering a sense of utmost security yet also awe-inspiring.
Strictly speaking, this was Aeria’s first time being so close to the Alliance’s armed forces, her first easy glimpse of these terrifying weapons designed to combat the Fallen Beasts.
Indeed, these massive mechanical beings possessed a terrifying presence.

But Aeria didn’t feel the reassurance Shestira expected; the girl’s heart still wasn’t soothed. After all, the oppressive feeling given by this entire army...
Was far less than the power of Gaia Lobil.
However, Aeria was an empathetic child. Faced with Shestira’s concern, the girl took a deep breath, suppressed her unease, and nodded with a forced sweet smile.
“Mmm...”
Seeing the girl seemingly comforted, Shestira smiled gently. Then, the Alliance Marshal quickly shifted to another critical question.
“Aeria, do you know where your mother is?”
While bringing back Aeria and her sisters was important, finding Liana and retrieving the Sacred Stone was their primary objective.
The Sacred Stone was their treasure for combating the Evil God, and it must be retrieved.
Therefore, besides the part of the force escorting Aeria back, the main troops were still searching for Liana’s whereabouts near the Enigmatic Abyss. Now, Shestira was clearly hoping that as her daughter, Aeria could provide some information.
As these words reached Aeria’s ears, the little one suddenly trembled.
On the other side,
The twins, who had been leaning against Aeria’s chest, blinked their watery eyes and turned their curious gaze towards their elder sister.
Previously, due to being suddenly brought to a strange environment, Mia and Vya felt a wave of unease, so much so that they didn’t dare to speak and just clung to their sister.
And now?
After getting a bit more familiar with the surrounding environment and the somewhat fierce-looking aunt beside them, Mia and Vya gradually relaxed.
Once relaxed,
Mia couldn’t wait to ask about what she was most concerned about,
“Aeria sister, where did mom go? Why hasn’t she come over yet... wuwu...”
Saying this,
Mia blinked her blue eyes, her lips puckering slightly in displeasure.
Mom had said she would be back soon.
Why haven’t they seen mom yet?
Mia looked somewhat petulantly at Aeria, her expression as if saying “bad sister lied to me!”
Her body even hesitantly began to emit spiritual power, clearly on the verge of throwing a tantrum.
Compared to Mia, Vya, although silent, clutched Aeria’s hand tightly, showing her inner unease.
Vya also wanted to find their mom.
“This...”
Facing her two adorable sisters who wanted to find their mom, Aeria smiled bitterly,
“Mom is a bit busy, but... she’ll be back soon. Mia and Vya need to be good, okay? Otherwise, mom will be angry when she returns.”
Petting Mia’s head and kissing Vya’s cheek, Aeria soothed them gently.
Hearing this,
The twins exchanged looks and then obediently nodded their heads. Mia’s spiritual power dissipated, and Vya no longer clutched at Aeria’s arm so tightly.
Clearly,
Both little girls were very afraid of making mom angry.
After calming her sisters, Aeria then cast a complex gaze at Shestira:
“Marshal Shestira...”
“Just call me aunt.”
“Marshal Aunt, about mom...”
As she spoke on this topic, Aeria’s expression became serious and somber.
Mom had already been killed by the Evil God,
And the Earth Evil God had even taken on mom’s appearance...
Aeria felt she must inform the officer before her of this. Otherwise, if the Earth Evil God impersonated their mom to infiltrate the Alliance army, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However,
Just as Aeria was about to speak, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and the words she was about to say were awkwardly swallowed back.
The reason was simple,
Her sisters were watching her.
Glancing sideways at Mia and Vya, who were snuggled against her and staring curiously at her, Aeria fell silent.
After all,
Aeria didn’t want her sisters to know the truth about their mother’s death.
Glancing hesitantly at her sisters, Aeria looked somewhat conflictedly at Shestira.
“Marshal Aunt, can we talk somewhere else?”
Hearing this,
A hint of puzzlement flickered in Shestira’s eyes.
Although she didn’t understand why Aeria was reluctant to speak openly about Lady Liana’s information, Shestira still chose to respect Aeria’s wishes.
“Alright.”
Saying this, Shestira carefully opened the vehicle door next to them, ready to take Aeria up to the transport vehicle’s upper deck for a talk.
However,
Just as Shestira opened the door, unexpectedly, a voice filled with joy suddenly burst into the vehicle along with the howling wind.
—"Hahaha! Aeria! My little Aeria! My dear niece, I’m so glad you’re alright!!"—
