Only the energy pressed together, completely piercing through the entire space with a gigantic passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grand formation chanted by countless mages expanded fully. Delicate and complex patterns and runes intertwined with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of streams of magic gushed toward the center of the formation. The heavy collection of magic poured down dazzling white light below, continuously tilting magic downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the formation reversed and completely drained all the magic inside every mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack formed from natural energy seemed ready to scatter the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Different colored lights mixed together and kept expanding. In the center, a pitch black void formed, like a black star swallowing everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick clouds and ocean that had originally been split into two were now completely swallowed by that void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding hundred mile sea area looked as if a massive pit had been dug out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozale and Riles could not even resist. The next second, that destruction filled energy swallowed the two calamities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the natural sparrows observing the battlefield dispersed under this terrifying attack and were drowned in the endless void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People who were fully focused on watching this battle stared at the pale blue screen. But the next second, the entire image became unstable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a faint flash of light, the whole screen was taken over by darkness and completely cut off from the Padarenbu sea area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People stared at the darkened screen in a daze for a few seconds, then became extremely depressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They beat their chests and stomped their feet, full of dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What about the rest! Why did it stop!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that instant, Haim Horn looked at the incoming white light and appeared extremely calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Arbiter Who Strips All Phenomena, this title really...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...was not wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, white light exploded, as if swallowing his voice as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world completely fell into silence.

The light pierced into the retina, and warm brightness gradually buried everyone completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy and terrifying pressure poured into the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if every inch of soil and every inch of skin became twisted and shriveled in this chaotic ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything fell into a sea of shock, as if the inside of all things had been completely filled with this dreadful pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the rain stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire sky of the world seemed to have been blasted apart.

Even the sea forest could no longer resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrifying magic still lingered over the sea like light drifting clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy and chaotic elemental magic over this sea seemed to have disappeared in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding seawater kept pouring into the massive pit as if trying to completely fill it. But though the abyss was filled with currents, the sea level did not rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the seawater hollowed out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at the scene before them, feeling shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, they could only respond with silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What kind of magic was that just now?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps… only the one who used it knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless mages turned their gazes toward the center of the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That had originally been where Viktor stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, Viktor and the golden haired girl were both gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the place where Viktor had disappeared, Duke Levi's mood was tangled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes uneasy, sometimes relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[On An Island Somewhere In Padalenbu]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed as if it had been created out of thin air by mysterious magic. In this noisy vast ocean, this place appeared quiet and stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the crabs were still digging in the sand and crawling toward the surging sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henny stood on the island. The wide black robe on her body fluttered in the sea breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood on a towering rock and looked into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment the Water Calamity was summoned, she had already left the destroyed Sea City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that fierce white light suddenly lit up in the distance, it was as if the whole world lost its color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murmuring voice sounded. There was a bit of complexity in Henny's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen Professor's battle. It was very wonderful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henny believed she had helped Professor and felt happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when she saw Erica appear as well, Henny fell into confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw Erica fighting side by side with Professor, releasing that powerful and shocking magic together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening her mouth again, her voice carried a trace of confusion, \"Mr. Crocodile… do I need to atone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the mechanism of Sea City, she had offered up all the sea people who were forced to obey orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had originally been forced to live in Sea City as nourishment for the Water Calamity, their existence and death had not been much different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of what she did, their deaths were accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after death, their souls could not rest in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were forced to become tools, releasing the final trace of use from their souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in truth, Henny did not regret it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still remembered what that little fish city lord had said and clearly knew what those people had done when they were alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They polluted the sea and deserved their punishment. Their deaths were not a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, their deaths had still passed through Henny's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Henny could not calm her heart at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even her body trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Professor Viktor needed her to do this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only through sacrifice could the embodiment of the ocean be summoned. Only through sacrifice could she help Professor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Professor, with her own hands, she extinguished the flames of one hundred thousand lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she was extremely afraid inside, still…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were another chance, she would still choose the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Mr. Crocodile spoke. His deep voice broke the silence, \"I must say, this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You did even better than I expected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henny could not help but be stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood there blankly, letting the sea breeze move her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red scaled crocodile sat behind Henny. Its huge crimson claws were rubbing its belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had not gone back since coming out. It had stayed comfortably in the outside world for a long time and felt very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had not peacefully stayed outside for so long in a very long time. It even wanted to wander into the sea for a spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Leighton had eaten too much and did not want to move at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The anger produced by the battle between calamities had also turned into Leighton's food as emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leighton realized that being a member of the Clavenna family and working for Viktor was truly too lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating well, and with a seemingly weak but very demon friendly girl like Henny, it felt very comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was just one thing that made Leighton slightly dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viktor did not allow it to casually kill people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But during this period, as a demon with intelligence, Leighton also understood one rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In current human society, one could not randomly kill humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not only Viktor, even the one it possessed, Henny, was too gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this time, Henny sending away one hundred thousand people made Leighton want to clap in praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leighton spat and said fiercely, \"I told you long ago, in this world, if you don't like someone, just hit them directly. There aren't that many reasons!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh, but… but…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because your fists are hard enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Henny could finish, Leighton directly interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its fierce voice continued beside her, \"As a demon, the most important thing is to follow your heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop holding yourself back!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henny was slightly stunned, feeling confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leighton seemed somewhat impatient and opened its huge mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember this, little girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this world, no one will praise an obedient child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It lowered its head and lay down like a real crocodile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not really. It still spoke in human language, and there was even obvious temptation in its tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obedient children don't get candy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure enough, you really are just like Professor said.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment the voice sounded, the crocodile was stunned. Its two torch like blazing eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Henny suddenly laughed at this moment. Her smile looked especially charming under the warm sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every demon is good at tempting people's hearts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So Professor taught me that I must stay alert to demons' words and hold onto my own heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Henny placed one hand on the button of her black robe and pulled hard. The robe slid off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robe fell onto the sea and was soaked by the waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henny placed her hand behind her neck, lifted her hair, and tossed her head, showing a graceful and elegant posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beauty burned like a bonfire under the night sky, spilling from her body and spreading around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her bright amber eyes looked into the distance. Within the brightness hid a light of expectation, like stars, deep and shining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your temptation effect seems quite good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crocodile looked behind Henny, somewhat stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could feel that in Henny's heart, some special desire seemed to be born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have already killed one hundred thousand people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled gently. In her golden eyes reflected the brilliant sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile at the corner of her mouth was like a sharp curved blade, deeply carving into the depths of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head and smiled softly, looking up at the golden shimmering sea. The corner of her lips seemed to turn into a sharp curved blade, piercing into the heart of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That black wide robe seemed to slowly drift away along her gaze, until it was swallowed by the surging sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why can't I try...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...to be a bad child?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Henny]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Third Tier Mage]\u003C\u002Fp>",1814,"2026-05-30T15:48:18.711Z","2026-06-01T04:31:37.164Z",1,"novelbin.me","7906dcfe77ba3818e139e0b8997cc762903ad84765fecf4f88366bc9f02ba4a6","am-i-the-villain-or-not-chapter-192","am-i-the-villain-or-not-chapter-191",393,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fam-i-the-villain-or-not-cover.jpg"]
