"You wouldn't want everyone knowing about this embarrassing stuff, right?"

Yumo whispered in Maya's ear like a demon tempting an innocent girl.

Maya heard this and even though she didn't want to, she finally gritted her teeth and nodded a little.

"I... I get it..."

"Mm, such a good girl~"

Yumo smiled with satisfaction and even pushed her luck by rubbing Maya's head, making the silver-haired woman's face turn bright red from shame and anger.

"Hehe~"

Watching Maya's frustrated but helpless expression, Yumo's smile got even bigger. She got more carried away and patted Maya's head a few more times.

Hmph~ You have days like this too~

Maya could only swallow her anger and didn't dare say anything. Seeing the phone constantly swaying next to Yumo, Maya could only lower her head completely frustrated. She didn't show any trace of her former saintly majesty anymore. Instead she looked like a fragile girl who got thoroughly bullied.

"Mm, not bad~"

After nodding with satisfaction, Yumo put the phone in a sealed box and carefully stored it in her internal space.

Yumo treasured this rare blackmail material she got that could threaten the Guiding Saint.

She stored it in the most classified area of her internal space without hesitation, right alongside her children's growth records and embarrassing histories.

You have to understand - even though she successfully spanked Maya's butt and taught this playful woman a lesson, at the end of the day... Yumo knew very well she didn't have the strength to consistently beat her opponent.

This victory relied on Youlan and Mengxi's surprise plan plus her own advance preparation.

Next time, if Maya was on guard, she probably wouldn't be able to defeat her again or give her such a satisfying spanking.

So this recording was her trump card. Even if Maya recovered and wanted revenge, she could use this video to stay undefeated! She could even use it to threaten this Saint!

Hehehe~

Thinking about this, Yumo's smile started turning a bit improper.

"So behave and cooperate, Mother~"

Yumo pinched Maya's chin and said smugly.

Maya could only nod slightly, showing unwilling submission.

...

Meanwhile, in the outer star sectors, as Yumo's spanking session ended, the violent energy tremors stopped suddenly. To the Alliance forces who didn't know the truth, this scene meant the final victor had been decided.

For a moment, ignoring the raging demons in front of them, everyone's attention focused more or less on that terrifying butterfly swarm, anxiously waiting for the final result.

Unfortunately this final result clearly didn't match what the Alliance expected.

Their bad feeling was confirmed right now.

The next instant, the dense butterfly swarm gradually dispersed, fully showing the internal battlefield to everyone. Under everyone's shocked gaze, that Abyssal Lord they saw as a nightmare - that terrifying enemy - still floated in the star field.

Even though her whole body was bloody, her aura was still powerful. Powerfully despair-inducing.

And their Guiding Saint who carried everyone's hopes had lost her former grace and was weakly held by the throat by the dark-haired girl.

"Holy Maiden!"

Led by Lawrence, the Alliance survivors suddenly went pale seeing this scene and let out terrified shouts.

The image of their invincible Guiding Saint completely shattered in their hearts at this moment.

Among these hoarse roars, the Abyssal girl casually threw the nearly motionless Maya toward the deep void below.

As the silver-haired woman's body fell, the Alliance forces' hearts fell into that endless abyss at the same time. In an instant, unprecedented despair spread like a raging virus through their hearts, destroying what little fighting spirit they had left.

It's over. Even the Guiding Saint lost. What... what's the point of fighting anymore...

"It's over. We're all finished..."

Lawrence, the Alliance commander, shook his head with dead eyes. After fighting so many demons, his body had nearly reached its limit. Now that the Guiding Saint was defeated, he couldn't turn the tide with his own power alone.

Forget dealing with that Abyssal girl - even the demon hordes around them could probably tear him to pieces.

Trembling as he looked around at the swarming countless monsters, Lawrence's massive sword slipped from his hands. After a bitter laugh, the Alliance commander couldn't help but kneel on the warship's deck.

At the same time, the massive magical barrier around the giant planetary battleship Aslan reached its absolute limit after enduring countless demon cannons. The moment Lawrence knelt, the barrier shattered completely and dissolved into countless blue lights. This ship - stripped of its protective shield and out of ammunition - along with the exhausted, demoralized soldiers inside, faced the terrifying aura of the demon hordes in this atmosphere of despair.

The next instant, accompanied by earth-shaking ghostly wails and howls, the demons roared and launched their attack against the Alliance survivors.

This support force for Skye Nation would likely be wiped out here.

...

Meanwhile, inside Skye Nation, the barrier Vinova had worked so hard to maintain was already full of holes. Even though Vinova as a Grand Barrier Master could still maintain the barrier for a long time against the surrounding demon bombardment, now... this Grand Barrier Master had lost confidence just like Lawrence. After witnessing the Maya's defeat, Vinova sat down heavily on the ground, questioning reality.

"No... this... this is impossible... The Guiding Saint really lost?"

Vinova's eyes filled with despair as she frantically tore at her own hair, looking lifeless.

Compared to Lawrence who already gave up, Vinova who struggled to hold on until now clearly had much stronger mental strength. Even though she was despairing, this Lv9 existence's mind was still frantically thinking of comeback possibilities.

How exactly can we deal with that Abyssal Lord?

After all, if even these strongest Alliance members gave up, the demonic disaster would spread like a plague through the World Tree's center. Countless worlds would be contaminated and the innocent dead would be countless.

So even in this situation, Vinova with her strong sense of responsibility didn't want to give up.

But even if she didn't give up, what could she do?

She'd just hold out a little longer, delaying her death by a few seconds.

"Even the Guiding Saint was defeated... Then who... who could stop that monster?!"

Anxious emotions spread wildly through Vinova's heart. Her spirit nearly collapsed and her twisted face no longer showed any trace of past gentleness.

But just as she racked her brains thinking, a massive figure suddenly flashed through her mind.

That's right! The Dragon Emperor! That strongest Primal! If the Dragon Emperor were here, maybe... maybe we can stop that Abyssal Lord!

At this moment, the image of the Alliance's strongest member appeared in Vinova's mind. As the Guiding Saint's brother, personally created by the Creator, the first Lv9... probably only he could break this desperate situation. But... but... things had gotten this bad yet the Dragon Emperor still hadn't appeared... Could it be that the wounds from that decisive battle years ago still hadn't healed...

Vinova couldn't help thinking this.

If the Dragon Emperor won't work, then what about the Judgment Saint...?

...

Sigh, what am I thinking...

The Judgment Saint, like the Reincarnation Saint, fell years ago. How could she come save us...

"Really... is there truly no hope..."

Slowly lowering her head, Vinova laughed bitterly several times. As her mindset shattered, blood spurted from her lips... The barrier's light gradually dimmed and the demon hordes outside couldn't help but let out excited roars, as if waiting for their prey to lose its final protection, waiting for the feast to come.

"Great Creator, please... please save your believers..."
