Pelena went straight to where Daniel was. It was a place where humans who had contracted with her to wage war had gathered.
“White Snake.”
Daniel knelt and bowed his head upon seeing her.
“How many holy knights have you gathered to fight for me, Daniel?”
“I apologize, White Snake.”
“Apology is the word I hate to hear the most.”
“It was an apology offered with a guilty heart for not gathering as many as you would be satisfied with. I will be more careful.”
“It doesn’t matter. I will take the lead in this war.”
“What do you mean? How could the noble White Snake participate in a petty human war… Would it not be better to summon monsters and make them fight instead?”
Daniel was flustered.
“That’s a good idea, Daniel.”
“Thank you for the praise.”
“Starting with the Polroid Empire, I will kill all mature life in this world. Of course, I intend to spare the humans who have contracted with me.”
Pelena clenched her fist. She will surely pay back the humiliation she received today.
“Prepare to march to the Polroid Empire right now.”
“Right now?”
“Do not ask twice.”
“Understood. Please bestow the White Snake’s blessing before we depart.”
Pelena looked down coldly at Daniel with her eyes narrowly open. The White Snake’s blessing was actually a potion she made mixed with venom. The moment one drinks it, it turns any pain into a pleasant feeling, making it impossible to feel pain during battle.
“First, use all the blessings you have, Daniel.”
“Understood, White Snake.”
“Go and prepare for war.”
After Daniel left, Pelena clenched her fist tightly, trembling, then closed her eyes and recalled the last day.
She had anticipated such a day would come.
It was rare for a goddess to be born with the power to see the future. Ela was loved by all.
The power she possessed was incomparably inadequate compared to Ela’s. Day by day, unable to bear the jealousy, she touched what should not have been touched.
Not knowing it was her own life water.
In her jealousy, she had forgotten. That Ela was a goddess with the power to see the future.
So she learned that Ela had seen the future where her life water was in danger and had switched it with her own. A great shock came over her.
Ela had knowingly let her own life water die.
Everyone just said it was fortunate that Ela’s life water, which could see the future, was intact.
Seeing elder sister Ela forgiving her made her angry. She came to hate Ela, who had made her kill her own life water while knowing the future.
And Ela looked around countless worlds. As a goddess with strong power, she had the right to become the main deity of any world.
The gods who created various worlds tried to give Ela the position of main deity, but Ela refused.
When Ela answered the question of the manager of the gods’ garden saying she knew what it was, the gods did not stop her.
Seeing that made her even more irritated. Despite Ela being able to easily become a main deity, she became the deity of a newly created world like other gods.
The reason for following was simple. If this world ever becomes beautiful thanks to Ela, she intends to ruin this world just as her life water was ruined.
As time passed and this world became more beautiful, the death of her own life water naturally came to mind.
She had a strong feeling that if her life water hadn’t died, it would have grown beautifully like this world now.
She became increasingly obsessed with the strong thought that she, not Ela, should become the main deity of this world.
So she instigated people to capture and eat Ela’s five children.
The living beings who should revere her turned towards Ela. Once again, jealousy welled up.
Ela swallowed her words and disappeared with a meaningful smile.
After secretly planting her life water in this world from the gods’ garden.
Thus, countless years passed. People still praised Ela.
She could have killed all life in this world and started anew at any time.
But she wanted to repay Ela with the feeling of a god who lost their life water as well.
To find where the life water was, she watched Musilla. As the black snake Nahash said, a child with beautiful purple eyes was born.
Somehow, Musilla, who lives eternally, ended her immortality. She swallowed the withered corpse in one bite, but felt no power.
Although Musilla died and the location of the life water became unknown, it didn’t matter. If she continues to release her venom, she will be able to kill Ela’s life water seedling someday. She can use the born Lorencia as well and eat her when she becomes useless. Then she will have finally eaten all seven of Ela’s children.
It will take a long time, but if she can return the frustration she felt to Ela, she will take all the time to release venom and thoroughly use Lorencia’s power to see the future to erase Ela from all life in this world.
Hearing a knocking sound, Pelena opened her closed eyes.
Daniel opened the door, approached Pelena, and slowly knelt on one knee.
“We are ready to advance on the Polroid Empire, White Snake.”
“From today, we shall erase Ela from this world.”
[This is the timeline separator]Polroid Capital.
The capital of the Polroid Imperial Palace is located under the forest spread below the high Conrad Mountains. The high walls surrounding the imperial palace and capital are one of the empires difficult to invade as they are surrounded by solid defensive magic.
The walls are guarded by 2 knights and one magician in each of the east, west, south, and north, working in 3-person 4-shift teams.
The morning of the knights and magicians who came out to guard the city gates as usual starts early.
Young knights Marau and Harmant were knights who had been guarding the walls for a long time.
“I’m so sleepy.”
Marau yawned widely.
“Didn’t you sleep early?”
“How can I sleep early when my cute wife is next to me, Sir Harmant?”
Harmant smiled. Recently, Marau had married his childhood friend and was in the midst of newlywed life.
“Hello, everyone.”
“Welcome, Magician McLicken.”
“I look forward to working with you today as well.”
It was when Marau and Harmant started to look around outside the main gate of the wall as usual to maintain the defensive magic of the wall.
“This is strange, Sir McLicken.”
“What is it?”
“The forest is too quiet today.”
“Quiet, you say?”
McLicken listened to Marau’s words. Indeed, the forest was too quiet, unlike usual.
“It’s strange, isn’t it?”
“Indeed, I can’t hear the birds.”
Only the sound of leaves rubbing in the wind could be heard, not the usual chirping of birds.
“My heart is pounding loudly because it feels strange.”
As the three were looking around the wall for a while, suppressing the strange feeling.
-Boom
The knights and McLicken turned towards the sound of a tree falling. An ominous premonition stirred.
The sound of trees breaking could be heard.
Cold sweat ran down McLicken’s spine. The sound was getting closer to be just a feeling.
No doubt. Something dangerous is approaching!
The sound of trees being uprooted and broken grew louder. The sound of armored knights’ footsteps began to be heard as well.
“Th… that.”
Marau saw numerous knights? No, dead bodies walking in, destroying trees and forests. The sound of their staggering footsteps sounded like a prelude to death.
“Marau. Get a hold of yourself.”
“I’m sorry. I was too surprised…”
The bad premonition came true.
Marau counted the approaching corpses. At a glance, tens, no, hundreds. There were too many to count with the eyes.
Skin partially peeled off, pressed and rotted yellow flesh and white bones, with blood and maggots falling from their mouths, they headed towards the wall.
At the same time, a terrible stench wafted over, making all three people, including Marau, frown involuntarily.
“No matter how I look at it, they look like corpses, right?”
“Everyone, calm down. Shouldn’t we alert about the enemy’s attack?”
McLicken tore three scrolls from his chest. Three sparks shot up between the torn scrolls. It was a secret signal used when someone was about to attack the wall, visible only to those with mana.
And shooting three sparks meant to prepare for war.
[This is the timeline separator]Teishar was more concerned about Lorencia getting up unharmed than the White Snake running away.
“We can track the White Snake again later. More importantly, are you really alright?”
“Yes, I’m fine. The Black Snake helped me.”
Teishar tilted his head.
“Did you just say Black Snake?”
“Yes.”
Lorencia briefly told Teishar about the large black snake that had been wrapped around the life water when she lost consciousness and opened her eyes.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
