The Goddess, Please Devour the Evil Deity!-Chapter 50Vol 1. : The Cruel and Desperate Reality

"Huff, huff, cough, cough, cough!"

On the scorched earth,

Shestira, who had lost an arm, weakly knelt down, barely supported by her long sword; without it, she would have collapsed completely.

After a few gasps, the weakened Shestira looked around blankly.

What met her eyes was a scene of utter devastation.

Thick smoke billowed, and the lingering fires in the sky cast a reflection of endless despair.

Bodies were scattered everywhere, the remains of soldiers mingled with the wreckage of machinery, torn apart by relentless forces. Broken mechs lay on the ground, their massive metal bodies sliced in half by lasers, with sharp metal shards scattered all around. The ground was pocked with holes. Even the remnants of tanks were shattered by explosions, their wheels and parts strewn about, clanging with occasional metallic collisions.

The once formidable combat aircraft had all been shot down, their wings and burning debris falling to the ground, turning into piles of scrap metal. Explosive fires illuminated the entire battlefield, and the air was filled with smoke and the stench of burning and decay.

Surviving soldiers lay on the ground in agony, their bodies severely wounded and continuously corroded by the curse power of the Thousand-faced Bird, causing their flesh to begin to rot and decay.

Many surviving warriors groaned in severe pain, their moans filling the battlefield. Their breathing was rapid and heavy, their faces twisted as if in a final struggle with death.

The battlefield fell into a deadly silence, the only sounds were the warriors' moans and the buzzing of the flames around.

"How, how could this happen..."

After witnessing this horrific scene, Shestira bit her lip in agony.

Although she knew the kin-tier was powerful, she had never imagined her troops would be so utterly decimated.

They couldn't even last long enough for the "Radion Purification Cannon" to charge up.

Was it really because the formation was too concentrated? Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been annihilated by that monster in one strike...

However,

Now was not the time for Shestira to feel regret because a terrible scream suddenly pierced her ears.

"Ah ah ah ah stop, stop ah ah ah!! No, no!"

?!

That voice!?

"Le... Lena?"

Hearing her adjutant’s voice, Shestira abruptly looked up towards the source of the sound.

Then,

Shestira saw the chillingly large figure,

With a sharp and eerie screech,

The Thousand-faced Bird, like the Grim Reaper from the darkness, descended from the sky, its massive wings stirring up gusts of wind, lifting dust and debris around it. Its figure in the air was like the coming of the apocalypse, its cold blue eyes locking onto Shestira, making her feel an intense pressure on her heart.

At the same time,

Shestira noticed her adjutant, tightly grasped in the claws of the Thousand-faced Bird, barely alive. The adjutant could no longer move, her breath weak, almost on the brink of death.

"Lena!!!"

"Shestira, ma'am..."

Hearing Shestira’s voice, Lena weakly turned her head to look at Shestira and weakly reached out her hand.

"Save, save me... I, I don’t want to die..."

At that moment,

Faced with death, Lena had almost lost the ability to think. She didn’t care whether Shestira had the power to save her, she just grasped for a lifeline, pleading for help.

And at that moment,

The grotesque bird head of the Thousand-faced Bird twisted 180 degrees, coldly staring at Shestira, a mocking voice quietly coming from a dead man’s mouth.

"Save? Your commander doesn’t have the power to save you."

Then, on the Thousand-faced Bird’s claws, numerous faces of the dead suddenly moved as if resurrected souls. The faces’ mouths opened wide, revealing sharp teeth, and viciously began to devour Lena.

"Ah—!!!"

In an instant,

A heart-wrenching scream pierced the skies.

"Don’t, nooooo!!"

Shestira screamed helplessly.

Sadly, there was nothing she could do now but watch this bloody, brutal scene unfold.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net, it has been stolen.

Face after face mercilessly and voraciously devoured the adjutant’s flesh, the disgusting sound of chewing was clear, each bite tearing flesh and bone, blood splattering everywhere.

Lena’s eyes were filled with indescribable horror and pain, but no matter how she struggled, her life rapidly faded under the devouring of those faces.

"Save, save me..."

After a final plea, Lena’s pupils dilated, and she lost all signs of life.

"Lena..."

What overflowed in Shestira's eyes was intense hatred.

However, due to the spread of fear and the oppressive aura of the Thousand-faced Bird, her body remained rigid, unable to move.

The Thousand-faced Bird continued to relish its prey, and even though Lena was no longer alive, it did not stop. The torn remnants floated in the air like a nightmare, with the flow of blood carrying an unspeakable horror.

Finally,

Lena's body was completely torn and devoured, and all that was left in the claws was her face.

As the dark blue curse power surged, the face was directly integrated into the claws of the Thousand-faced Bird.

Then,

On the chest of the Thousand-faced Bird, Lena's face, marked by terror and despair, eerily emerged.

Looking at the face on its chest, the Thousand-faced Bird’s sinister eyes briefly flashed with satisfaction.

"Nice expression, lolololo~"

A series of strange, sharp cries continuously came from the bird's head.

After a round of eerie cries, the Thousand-faced Bird's head suddenly turned, its gaze fixed on Shestira's face.

—"Marshal, I believe, you will become a better collection than your adjutant."—

With these words,

The massive monster slowly advanced towards Shestira.

As the monster approached,

Fear wildly spread and grew within Shestira.

She had always thought she was prepared to die at the hands of a fallen beast on the battlefield. However, after witnessing her adjutant’s terribly tragic death, Shestira's resolve was shaken.

Under the threat of death and pain, Shestira's spirit gradually crumbled,

Her face, always marked with resolve, visibly contorted with fear and despair,

"No, don’t, don’t come here!"

Her desperate plea quietly echoed across the battlefield.

And after witnessing this scene, the delight and excitement in the eyes of the Thousand-faced Bird only grew.

To the Thousand-faced Bird, the grotesque fear on a human's face before death was the most pleasurable thing. And preserving that expression was its cherished collection.

That was why the Thousand-faced Bird deliberately tortured her adjutant in front of Shestira, to crush her courage.

A face of despair and helplessness after an inner collapse,

That was worth collecting~

"Lolololo~"

Accompanied by the eerie cries, the Thousand-faced Bird's claws slowly reached towards Shestira...

...

Within a few minutes,

The excited cries of the Thousand-faced Bird quietly dissipated. And what also disappeared were the woman's horrific screams...

After dealing with Shestira, the Thousand-faced Bird slowly raised its head, looking towards the direction where Hein had previously taken Aeria and her sisters to escape.

After such a long delay,

It was time to complete the task given by Lord Uluti.

Additionally,

The three little goddesses? They would definitely make fine collections, wouldn't they?

"Lolololo~"

After emitting another series of strange sounds, the Thousand-faced Bird suddenly spread its wings and flew into the sky...
