Chapter 336: The True Form of the Rod of Eden
As for being watched by other forces on the continent and the Demon King knowing "that she could use the power of Holy Light," Lolth couldn’t tell which was scarier.
But looking at the immediate consequences, Lolth thought the Demon King’s reaction might need a little more attention.
So, Lolth thought about it for a moment…
Even if the Holy Maiden really ran away, she has no proof that a "succubus used Holy Light," and she might be seen as talking nonsense!
It’s uncertain, but it doesn’t need to be caught right!
Even if the news reaches the Demon Army, I can calmly say…
"It’s all slander! It’s all meant to create distrust!"
This— is the advantage of having the enemy’s army here!
Of course, this is just a guess.
After all, the Lady of Light can’t possibly come!
So, what we should really worry about is the people from the Demon Army finding out.
The chances of this situation happening are the highest.
But it is also easier to handle.
Because even if the Demon Army’s allies see it, they can be threatened or bribed to keep quiet, or they can be blamed before they report to the Demon King.
Her own "reputation" should be a bit higher than most of the Demon Army’s leaders… Lolth once thought this wouldn’t be helpful, but now it seems it’s not completely bad.
So, as long as the Lord of the Demon King doesn’t personally see this scene in disguise, or Doyle, the trusted "eunuch" of the Demon King, doesn’t come, there is room for maneuver.
As for the Lord of the Demon King actually coming…
Lolth never considered that!
She recently tried to find out from Doyle; the Lord of the Demon King has already left the main plane to "handle important matters"!
And because of that, Doyle Candice has hardly had any free time to leave.
So she doesn’t need to worry about this at all.
Even though several days have passed, the Lord of the Demon King has returned from another realm…
But it can’t be that she just crossed realms and immediately rushed to Hillenbrand Town, can it?
Doesn’t the Lord of the Demon King have other things to do?
Having thought through these matters, Lolth felt a bit more at ease as she stood on the stage, and she couldn’t help but relax a little.
"Using the power of Holy Light openly in front of everyone really does bring a forbidden joy!"
Lolth couldn’t help but exclaim.
Regardless of… the fact that it has now been confirmed that "there is no problem."
Why not make it a little bigger?
Although most of the time Lolth seemed very careful and cautious, that was just due to life’s pressures.
For her, the Demon Army, the Abyss, and the mainland are all places that make her very careful.
If she wants to live a relatively calm and comfortable life, she must stay alert.
But in essence, Lolth also has a rebellious and stubborn side!
Sometimes she even gets a little carried away.
The lifestyle she likes and her usual way of acting and personality are two different things!
Otherwise, she wouldn’t keep learning magic, even while being beaten by her succubus mom every day.
Just like when she bravely jumped into the evil Divine Kingdom back then.
Seeing the amazed people below, Lolth also felt a bit overwhelmed.
The sight of "Eden" is truly beautiful, like a dream.
Everyone had a blissful look on their faces.
"Then let the ‘dream’ and my ‘costume’ be more real."
Lolth thought this and gently snapped her fingers.
An invisible space portal opened, and the "Rod of Eden," sealed deep within the structure of space, appeared in Lolth’s hand.
It radiated a soft, faint light.
The moment the "Rod of Eden" appeared, Lolth raised it toward the people below.
"May the Holy Light bless you all!"
She smiled, even speaking the words that only the Lady of Light would say.
At that moment, she truly felt like a pure and proud Holy Maiden.
The pure power of the Holy Light activated the Rod of Eden, which was woven with light gold and white.
In the evil Divine Kingdom, where it had been worn down for ten thousand years, it finally revealed the full form of the Divine Artifact!
A surge of Holy Light poured out from the Rod of Eden, covering the originally simple and plain staff with a layer of light golden patterns, and the decorations at both ends became extremely beautiful.
At the bottom of the staff, a pattern like a tree ring surrounded by golden leaves appeared.
On top of the staff, a brilliant golden flower-shaped illusion appeared.
The flower bloomed and bore golden fruits, which then ripened into a soft, pure ball of Holy Light.
The light ball spread onto Lolth, wrapping her arms in a layer of beautiful light.
That light then formed a pair of huge glowing wings and a pure white halo behind her back and above her head!
All the spectators gasped in awe.
"Wow—"
"Lord Lolth has risen!"
"It turns out Lord Lolth is an angel! An angel succubus!"
"Or maybe a succubus angel!"
"Everyone stay calm—Lord Lolth said this is special effects, it’s fake!"
"But it’s so realistic!"
But not just them, even Lolth was shocked.
"Is there really a second-rank level?"
Lolth looked at the staff in her hand, unable to believe, and muttered to herself.
Below the stage, Janine Irene showed a look of surprise.
"The ‘Angel Form’ of the Rod of Eden… it can’t be, Her Holiness… she… she… she has fallen, hasn’t she?"
Janine Irene’s voice trembled a bit, and her face was pale.
Even the power of the Holy Light within her weakened a little!
Clearly, seeing Lolth’s appearance on stage greatly shook this young Paladin’s faith.
And standing beside her, a glimmer of shock flashed in the Lady of Light’s eyes.
But soon, her gaze became firm, and her tone serious.
"You are not mistaken, she really did unleash and activate the Rod of Eden, Irene."
"The situation is more complex and tricky than we imagined…"
"Maybe she can fool the Divine Artifact, fool herself, but Irene, she cannot fool us."
"Isn’t the purpose of the Church’s founding to carry out the Lord’s duties in this realm and spread the Lord’s glory?"
The Lady of Light said this, and Janine Irene calmed down a bit.
She nodded as if she had grabbed onto a lifeline and spoke.
"That’s right, we must punish this traitor in place of the Lord…"
Janine Irene whispered, her hands clenched into fists.
However, she did not notice that although Her Holiness’s voice sounded flawless and full of confidence…
Her gaze also showed signs of doubt, just like hers.
It’s just that the Lady of Light managed to suppress that doubt much faster.
"It seems you are ready, Irene… Since the other side has also revealed the Divine Artifact…"
"It’s time for us to act!"
