Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead

Flames raged.

Amid the ruins filled with cries of grief and the heavy stench of blood—

"Why?! Why would you do this?! Klone was a devout believer! What did she ever do wrong?!"

A green-haired young man dressed in ragged clothes collapsed to his knees in despair.

Too weak to stand against the elite knights of the Asumos Church, he could only watch helplessly as his beloved died beneath the sword of the black-armored knight.

Powerlessness, despair, and unwillingness continuously flooded his heart.

His eyes, burning with fury and killing intent, remained fixed upon the knight of the Asumos Church.

"She never did anything! What right did you have to kill her?!"

"A reason? Do I need one? Trash like you, descendants of the Demon Race, should simply accept your fate and die. I still need to bring your horns back to complete my assignment, so hurry up and die already."

As he spoke, the knight mercilessly raised his sword and slowly walked toward the green-haired youth.

Facing the approaching death, the young man showed no fear.

Grinding his teeth, he glared fiercely at the knight before him.

"You executioners! I'll make you pay for this one day!"

At that moment,

The young man made a vow.

He would have his revenge.

He and the Asumos Church would never coexist beneath the same sky.

--

At this moment,

The instant he sensed the divine power surrounding the silver-haired girl—a force even purer than Holy Aura—

Welt-Sislov's most unbearable memories were violently stirred.

An indescribable hatred spread wildly through his heart.

He hated the Asumos Church.

But what he hated even more was the Goddess who issued divine revelations to the Church.

It was those damned revelations...

That had turned his people into enemies of the entire world.

As the Goddess's messenger...

The Child of Destiny was naturally someone he loathed beyond measure.

He wished nothing more than to eliminate her as quickly as possible...

'Great Demon God... Lord Son of God... I won't disappoint you. I will complete this mission.'

Driven by unwavering conviction and an overwhelming desire for revenge,

The flames of hatred and faith intertwined, erupting within Welt-Sislov's emerald-green eyes and burning ever brighter.

They even consumed the pain throughout his body.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!"

Roaring furiously,

Dark emerald magic exploded from within Welt-Sislov!

The violent burst of power directly blasted the silver-haired girl, who had been about to sever his head, dozens of meters away.

At the same time,

A pair of demonic horns slowly emerged from his forehead.

Rather than growing, it would be more accurate to say they had always been there, merely concealed by Welt-Sislov.

Now, with that concealment released,

His power erupted without the slightest reservation.

Ferocious black wings spread wide behind his back.

Dark emerald magic surged violently.

Welt-Sislov's aura continued rising higher and higher.

The next moment,

Gripping the Blood Scythe, Welt-Sislov charged directly toward Mengxi.

A desperate battle to the death immediately erupted between him and the girl wrapped in golden radiance.

In the blink of an eye,

The emerald figure and the golden figure collided hundreds of times in midair.

The sharp ringing of scythe striking sword echoed throughout the skies above Wind Facing City.

Every shockwave generated by their clashes caused the people below to tremble uncontrollably.

Even Marquis Xiumu-Duke, barely remaining on his knees, and Lei Jie, lying gravely wounded in the distance, stared upward in utter astonishment.

Neither of them had ever imagined that the seemingly delicate silver-haired girl from moments before could actually confront the Cult Leader of the Heavenly Punishment Holy Church entirely on her own.

After all...

That Cult Leader was a terrifying High Eighth-Tier powerhouse!

'S-So that's the Goddess's power? Does the Goddess... truly exist?'

Watching the dazzling golden radiance overflowing with untouchable holiness,

Marquis Xiumu-Duke, who had never believed in the Goddess, could not help showing a deeply shaken expression.

...

Meanwhile,

Under everyone's watchful gaze,

The battle in the sky became increasingly intense.

Although Welt-Sislov had initially been seriously wounded because he had been completely unprepared for the golden divine power erupting from Mengxi,

His High Eighth-Tier foundation remained overwhelmingly powerful.

Once he released all of his strength,

His body gradually began recovering.

As the dark emerald magic surrounding him grew increasingly dense,

Welt-Sislov slowly regained control of the battle.

He was no longer being relentlessly overwhelmed by Mengxi as he had been at the beginning.

Although Mengxi's strength had increased dramatically after activating Miracle,

She had still only reached Peak Seventh Tier.

Against the current Mengxi,

A High Eighth-Tier opponent like Welt-Sislov was undoubtedly a boss far beyond her level.

As the battle continued,

As Welt-Sislov's strength steadily recovered,

Mengxi gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Her relentless offensive from earlier slowly turned into passive defense.

However,

Although he had gained the upper hand,

The arrogance and contempt that had once filled Welt-Sislov's eyes had completely disappeared.

Instead, he stared solemnly at the silver-haired girl fighting him.

At the end of the day,

The Child of Destiny was originally only Mid Sixth Tier.

A mere Mid Sixth-Tier cultivator...

Had actually reached Peak Seventh Tier through divine power alone and fought him head-on for so long.

Even considering his injuries,

It was still almost unbelievable.

Now,

Welt-Sislov finally understood why the Son of God had insisted on sending him personally to deal with the Child of Destiny instead of dispatching one of the Archbishops.

Even without taking Lei Jie, her guardian beast, into account,

Once the Child of Destiny activated Miracle,

Any Archbishop with only Seventh-Tier strength would almost certainly die.

"The protagonists must be eliminated while they're still in the cradle. They must never be allowed to grow."

Recalling the Son of God's words,

Welt-Sislov silently nodded in agreement.

Indeed.

The potential possessed by these "protagonists" was simply too terrifying.

If they weren't eliminated early,

The consequences would be endless.

With that thought,

Welt-Sislov's pupils suddenly contracted.

A blood-red glow filled with bloodlust burst from his emerald-green eyes.

The Blood Scythe immediately released an even darker crimson radiance.

The dark emerald magic filling the sky answered its master's call, rapidly gathering upon the blade.

Gradually,

Behind Welt-Sislov,

The phantom of an enormous savage green serpent slowly appeared.

Its scarlet eyes locked firmly onto Mengxi's delicate figure.

'Dead Silence Soul Reaper!'

Now that his strength had recovered to a sufficient degree,

Welt-Sislov unleashed overwhelming killing intent.

The next instant,

He swung his scythe.

Together with the gigantic green serpent phantom behind him,

He charged toward the silver streak.

A terrifying pressure resembling the cries of countless ghosts instantly spread through the heavens.

The sky darkened.

Space itself began to distort.

Faced with Welt-Sislov's overwhelming assault,

Mengxi refused to yield.

She continuously poured immense divine power into her sword.

The golden radiance within her right eye shone ever more brilliantly.

That divine power seemed to possess an extraordinary purifying effect.

No matter how overwhelming Welt-Sislov's aura became,

Protected by the golden light,

Mengxi remained completely unaffected by the oppressive pressure.

Gripping the sword with both hands,

She fearlessly charged directly into Welt-Sislov's attack.

In an instant,

The golden power and the dark emerald power collided violently!

At the center of their clash,

A world-ending light erupted.

The resulting shockwave swept across everything around them.

Countless buildings collapsed.

The earth split apart.

Even the enormous barrier sealing off Wind Facing City was covered in countless cracks from the impact.

...

Locking eyes with Mengxi's golden gaze,

An intense fighting spirit appeared within Welt-Sislov's eyes.

"DIE!!!"

As he roared,

Veins bulged across both of his arms as he poured even more strength into his attack.

The dark emerald radiance gradually overwhelmed the brilliant golden light.

The phantom serpent looked ready to devour the golden sun itself.

Just as Welt-Sislov was completely focused on battling the Child of Destiny,

The voice of an unexpected intruder suddenly reached his ears.

"Cult Leader!! P-Please save me!!!"

?!

Hm?

That voice...

Isn't that Benjamin?

At that moment,

A thoroughly disheveled pink-haired man came stumbling out of the ruins, desperately running toward Welt-Sislov like a stray dog fleeing for its life.

"C-Cult Leader! Th-That fake Xia'er... she's... she's a monster! Hurry! Save me!!"

Welt-Sislov: "...?"

A completely bewildered expression appeared on his face.

'What nonsense is he babbling about?'

Mengxi heard those words as well.

Especially after hearing the word "monster,"

Her brows slowly furrowed.

A chilling killing intent gradually surfaced within her golden eyes...
