"Liana!!!"
Upon turning his head and seeing the familiar figure, Gremiel's pupils suddenly contracted, and an uncontrollable exclamation escaped his mouth.
At the moment his cry rang out, the entire hall, even the area surrounding the restaurant, instantly changed. Whether it was the soldiers Gremiel had brought, the other customers in the restaurant, the staff, or passersby outside, they all stopped in unison, their gazes converging on the slender figure cloaked in a black hood.
However,
Including Gremiel himself, almost everyone showed a stunned expression.
"Liana??"
Gremiel’s brow twitched, and the words he spoke carried a tone of uncertain questioning.
The reason was simple.
What he saw reflected in his eyes was an utterly chaotic scene.
The neatly arranged dining table had turned into a battlefield. Plates were stacked high, and scattered utensils lay on the ground. Food had been tossed roughly across the table, vegetables, meat, and bread crumbs intermingled like the aftermath of a brutal storm.
The air was thick with the scent of food, but more than that, a strong, greasy odor filled the space.
At the center of this chaos was the very person who had been relentlessly eating when Gremiel had been speaking earlier.
It was a girl wearing a hood.
The girl was fully focused on devouring her food. Her hood was slightly lowered, obscuring most of her face. One hand gripped a fragrant chicken leg, while the other stabbed at a steak, her mouth constantly chewing and swallowing with abandon. Her cheeks were puffed up like a hamster’s, chewing and gulping down food without regard for the surrounding environment or etiquette.
Not only that,
Her sitting posture was wild, with one foot unabashedly placed on the chair, her knee bent at an awkward angle. It was as if there were no constraints, and she had claimed the entire seat in a fierce, untamed manner, fully immersed in her food territory.
...
Upon hearing Gremiel’s exclamation, the girl still showed no reaction, continuing her relentless eating. Only when countless eyes focused on her did she finally lift her head, slightly bewildered, her eyes meeting Gremiel’s.
"Ganmo?" (What’s up?)
Hearing that question, Gremiel froze for a moment, then immediately shook his head.
"It’s nothing, nothing... I... I mistook you for someone else."
After awkwardly apologizing, Gremiel numbly turned his head, returning to his seat, holding his head in disbelief.
"No, no way..."
I,
My dear, beautiful, elegant Liana,
Could never be so rude,
She always ate delicately, savoring each bite. How could she possibly eat like this, gulping everything down?
Her posture was always dignified, so how could she be so wild?
Impossible,
It couldn’t be Liana.
I must have been mistaken.
Besides, my Liana-chan is an absolute powerhouse, someone at the Realm of Reclusion level. A person at that level doesn’t even need to eat! How could she come to a restaurant and gobble down food like this?
Gremiel shook his head, repeatedly denying what he had seen.
But, but the most important thing?
Why does she look at me like that? So unfamiliar?
The real Liana-chan would have eagerly called me ‘Gremiel-oniisan’ and jumped into my arms... she couldn’t be, she couldn’t be...
Couldn’t be,
Absolutely couldn’t...
...
No way!!!

She is Liana!
Finally,
Gremiel gave up on self-denial. After all, his body had instinctively reacted with excitement when he saw Liana, and those reactions couldn’t be wrong.
"My dear Liana, how could you be here!"
Gremiel exclaimed with excitement.
Meanwhile,
The blue-haired girl, who had been asked the question, chewed thoughtfully, raising an eyebrow.
"Uhm??"
...
Yes, the blue-haired girl enjoying her meal so unrestrainedly in the restaurant was none other than the Earth Evil God, Bai Lianyue, who had just left the Enigmatic Abyss.
After hearing from Severine that Aeria and the others needed more nutrients, Bai Lianyue happily left the Abyss to gather some nourishing food.
After all,
While food could be found in the Lost City, most of it was just old, tasteless canned food.
So, after collecting some food and preparing to leave, Bai Lianyue was drawn to the restaurant, or more precisely, to the aroma of the food coming from inside.
In fact, Bai Lianyue had always loved food. When she was human, she often went with Xingwu to taste all kinds of delicious dishes. Enjoying food was one of Bai Lianyue’s simple pleasures.
However, after becoming the Earth Evil God, she lost her sense of taste. No matter what she ate, it all tasted the same.
Now, after a thousand years, she had finally regained a human body... and with it, her sense of taste. Bai Lianyue was excited to finally savor some contemporary cuisine.
Well, just a little bite before heading back, no big deal~
With this thought in mind, Bai Lianyue eagerly entered the restaurant and had been eating ever since.
As for her eating posture?
Since arriving in this world, she had been following mercenaries around, marching and fighting in rough conditions. Bai Lianyue had gotten used to eating in a somewhat unrefined manner. Although Xingwu often complained about it, Bai Lianyue was always one to acknowledge her faults and promise to do better next time.
As for eating like this? Would it be embarrassing?
Bai Lianyue didn’t care much about it.
Big world, eat first~
...
To be honest, at first, when she heard Gremiel’s exclamation, Bai Lianyue didn’t react, because the name “Liana” was still unfamiliar to her. She hadn’t expected Gremiel to be calling her.
It wasn’t until the sharp gazes of the surrounding people focused on her that Bai Lianyue snapped out of her eating trance.
Oh?
Wait,
Liana Anlosi.
That’s the name of the body I’m inhabiting, right? Am I meeting someone who knows the original owner of this body?
What a coincidence?
Wow~
Looking at the excited blonde man in front of her, feeling the fervent gaze from him, Bai Lianyue’s brow twitched. At the same time, the Earth Evil God felt a sense of confusion.
Strange, I’ve concealed my aura and even wore a mask, so how did he recognize me?
Huh?
Wait, where’s my mask?
Touching her smooth face, Bai Lianyue raised an eyebrow in confusion. She glanced at the table, trying to find her mask. In fact, Bai Lianyue did spot her mask... but it was only half of it now... the smooth, clear teeth marks on the mask seemed to tell the story of what had just happened.
Uh,
Looks like I accidentally ate half my mask... awkward...
Bai Lianyue scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed. After becoming the Earth Evil God, it seemed like she had trouble adjusting to eating properly again.

But now, Bai Lianyue was more concerned about the mask. Because, with her sharp perception, she couldn’t help but sense the gazes and spreading spiritual energy from the nearby people. She could even feel their emotions.
Adoration, respect, surprise, jealousy... and hatred.
A large number of people were heading toward her position;
The alliance’s soldiers were activating communication devices; some were secretly pulling weapons from their bags;
...
Upon sensing the situation nearby, Bai Lianyue slightly squinted her eyes.
Staying here seems to be troublesome.
Though I don't want to use my powers, it looks like I don't have a choice?
After swallowing the last bite of food, Bai Lianyue’s palm subtly emitted a faint blue light, and the curse energy suppressed within her body began to slowly release.
Her plan was to knock everyone out and then leave.
However,
It seemed that the Earth Evil God’s plan was about to be interrupted.
Because, just as Bai Lianyue was about to act, Gremiel, standing in front of her, took the first step.
The blonde man’s pupils suddenly contracted, and a fierce, pure white light burst from his eyes.
"Soul Suppression Divine Light."
The words had barely left his mouth,
The overwhelming light attribute spiritual energy of the peak Heaven’s Decree stage erupted from Gremiel’s body like a breaking dam, quickly and violently spreading. The dazzling white light cut through the darkness like lightning, sending shockwaves of energy everywhere.
The light was brilliant, and the scorching air swept over the restaurant. Everyone inside didn’t have time to react before being blinded by the intense white light, losing consciousness. The plates, chairs, and food were all shattered, spilling onto the ground...
The excitement that had filled the restaurant when Bai Lianyue’s identity was exposed instantly turned into silence.
Not only that,
The white shockwave expanded even further, engulfing the entire town of several hundred people.
As the white light gradually faded, only silence remained. No one from the restaurant, Gremiel’s subordinates, or even the people rushing toward the restaurant were spared the effect of this powerful shockwave, all falling unconscious.
"Ugh..."
Looking around at the wrecked hall, Bai Lianyue blinked in confusion.
Dude,
What the hell are you doing?
Bai Lianyue was puzzled.
But before the Earth Evil God could figure out what was going on, Gremiel, seeing no one around, rushed directly to her, grabbing her left hand, still greasy from the food...
Bai Lianyue: Uh...
With an incredibly concerned voice, he asked:
"Now that no one’s around, my dear Liana, you don’t have to hide anymore. Tell me, why did you suddenly leave? Why did you do this? Was it that bastard Luo Fei’s fault? Or... did your father make you do something?"
Bai Lianyue: Huh??
